Borrowing a sword

Chapter 2 Actually, I'm a Male Model [New Book Requesting Monthly Tickets]

Huaixu refers to summer and is also an alternative name for the fourth month of the lunar calendar.

Chu Huaixu's birthday is the first day of the fourth month of the lunar calendar, hence the name.

He is currently playing a game called "Borrowing a Sword".

It is now 2045. As a young man in his twenties, in this era of rapid technological advancement, he only needs to stick the wired patch on his temple, close his eyes, and he can immerse himself in an incredibly realistic game world.

These days, time-travel novels are no longer popular, because time travel is no longer a novelty.

For many people, this type of game is essentially equivalent to time travel.

However, just as there are laws to constrain people in reality, different games also have different rules to restrict players' behavior.

In some games with a high degree of freedom, you can marry and have children with NPCs or other players, ensuring that no step is omitted.

Therefore, as the gaming era has developed to this point, the "game companion industry" has also undergone a certain degree of change.

After all, early game companionship might have simply involved playing games together and then connecting via voice chat.

No matter how close they go, at most they'll just flirt a little, or maybe give you a few gasps.

If we want even more, then we'll need to meet in person.

But by 2045, the game has become so realistic that it's truly immersive. If it were projected into another world with a high degree of freedom, then playing games with an escort would be a bit like male and female models actually going to work.

Or perhaps it's similar to the local guides who suddenly became popular many years ago?

However, a local guide is someone who accompanies you when you travel or go on a business trip to another city. These days, the location of that accompaniment has become the game world.

Chu Huaixu is a skilled professional gamer, or rather, a gaming companion!

To single-handedly navigate relationships with various female bosses and garner five-star reviews from them, while sometimes even living off their wealth, definitely requires considerable ability.

Fortunately, he's on the right path, using his abilities at work and becoming a diligent and conscientious role model.

If this were used in real life, it would be terrible.

At this moment, he was actually just bored and wanted to try his luck by creating a new account in the game "Borrowing Swords".

The game "Borrowing Swords" borrows the idea of ​​a large gambling company selling blind boxes, and the game accounts also have a certain blind box nature.

Each account requires a purchase.

After opening an account, everything is unknown, including what the start will be like, which starting village you'll be in, and what the initial beginner quests will be.

Although the game is well-balanced at the start and there are no overpowered openings, everyone has their own preferences, right?
Moreover, the game has been out for five years, and veteran players have figured out some tricks, and some opening strategies are more popular.

Moreover, for some well-funded gaming guilds, instead of opening blind boxes, it's better to directly buy accounts that have already been created for strategic purposes.

Therefore, some new accounts can be resold for a profit, and the practice of "opening accounts" has gradually become popular.

Chu Huaixu has a habit of opening accounts three times at the beginning of each month.

He's always been lucky in this area, and he's made a little money from it.

Most importantly, he has a stable client base of female guild managers, who are the best targets for acquiring accounts. A woman who treats him like a treasure will often offer him a price higher than the market price.

This number should fetch a good price today.

Because upon logging in, the character is immediately pursued by a bearded man and is carrying a large amount of silver notes, making him a clearly strong main storyline character.

“The main questline is very clear in the early stages, and many guilds love to buy accounts like this.” Chu Huaixu knew this very well.

But who would have thought that it would encounter problems right after going live today?

He can't log off!
"That doesn't make sense." Chu Huaixu was completely baffled.

Having played "Borrowing Swords" for so long, he knows perfectly well how stable the game is.

"Borrowing Swords" is excellent in every aspect, offering a superb gaming experience and is currently a top-rated game.

How high is its reputation?

Even the "planner's mother" still lives on in the hearts of many players.

Unlike some games, where even if the game designers had ten mothers, it wouldn't be enough to kill them all.

This was the first time Chu Huaixu had encountered such a serious problem; he couldn't even exit the game. Besides that, many of his game functions seemed to be unusable.

It also includes some basic functions.

For example, he can no longer listen to music while playing games.

"The brightness adjustment feature is still available."

Just now, he drew two fingers upwards, and the whole world appeared brighter in his eyes; that was because he used brightness adjustment.

"But why is even [pain modulation] gone?" Chu Huaixu was speechless.

He tried pinching himself hard, and then winced in pain.

"No! This is absolutely 100% pain!" He was completely stunned.

In "Borrowing the Sword", the highest pain index that can be adjusted is only 8%.

Most players will set it to a very low level, with only a few people with unusual tastes setting it to a high level to satisfy their abnormal needs in the game.

Many people set their pain index to be as close to zero as possible.

In addition, the game "Borrowing Swords" offers an extremely high degree of freedom; as mentioned before, even marriage and childbirth are possible, making it truly brimming with pregnancy-related possibilities. Therefore, the legendary "painless motherhood" can actually be achieved in the game.

"But this pain is too strange." Chu Huaixu frowned.

The game's maximum limit is only 8%, which doesn't make sense.

He looked at the stubble-faced man's corpse on the ground and couldn't help but gasp.

"In other words, if I hadn't been careful and had actually been slashed by him, wouldn't the pain have been excruciating?"

"If such a bug really appears, how many players will be driven away?" Chu Huaixu could foresee this.

Next, he checked all the functions of his game and found that very few of them were still usable.

Even the AI ​​customer service can't be reached.

It's worth noting that this AI customer service representative had been trained by him for a long time and had long since become his shape.

Even more strangely, Chu Huaixu could check the [time]. He knew very well that the game timeline in "Borrowing the Sword" had reached the year 1997 of the Xuanli era.

But when he checked the time, it showed the year 1990 of the Xuanli calendar!
"That's fucking outrageous!"

"This game is down, isn't it?"

The heavy rain continued to fall. Chu Huaixu stood on the path in the dense forest, holding his oil-paper umbrella, feeling increasingly uneasy about what he was doing.

He was, after all, a game male model who had read a lot of novels, anime, and movies.
"Could it be that I've transmigrated into the world of 'Borrowing a Sword'?"

He opened his character panel and checked his game character's basic information.

Immediately afterwards, he noticed something amiss in the character template section.

His template was labeled "NPC" instead of "Player"!
At this moment, Chu Huaixu felt as if the sky had fallen.

"Damn it, I've worked so hard to hook up with rich women and put so much effort into being a male model. In the 'Borrowing Sword' gaming companion industry, I've been voted the second most popular gaming companion by the ladies. And I still haven't spent all the money I've saved!"

"I had also taken an order from Sister Yun tonight."

"This mature woman with a strong, mature voice, who has been separated from her husband for many years and is in a marital status of [married but slightly widowed], stayed up late last night and sent me a voice message to book a game for tomorrow night. It's obvious she's going to extend the session!"

Chu Huaixu couldn't help but look down and exclaim, "Damn it!"

The sound of the night rain is annoying, the sound of the night rain is annoying.

Under the oil-paper umbrella, Chu Huaixu's mood became even more irritable.

He walked to the body of the bearded man and slowly squatted down.

—She raised her hand and slapped him across the face!
