PFRG: Chapter 142

The Sanctuary

Chi Ting didn’t expect that in the following days, Lou Yueren wouldn’t let him leave the room again.

If he had anticipated what the consequences of the so-called confession would be, he felt that he might’ve chosen to reconsider the decision carefully.

Of course, faced with such an overly direct confession, Lou Yueren looked as if he would never let Chi Ting suffer any loss.

He lifted Chi Ting’s jaw and kissed him gently countless times. Their intertwined breaths sprayed hotly over their skin, and Lou Yueren’s soft tone was like coaxing a very sensitive kitten. “I don’t know when this feeling started, but as expected, Chi Ting… I really like you very much… Yes, I like you very much.”

“Hmm.” Chi Ting was a bit breathless, but under an inexplicable feeling of indulgence, he actually felt a bit addicted.

One had to admit that when it came to kissing skills alone, both he and Lou Yueren had gradually improved a lot through such frequent clashes. One could only say that practice was indeed the way to improve personal skills. However… facing a pleasure offender who never hid his preferences, the frequency of being asked for anything, even if he disagreed, was a bit too high.

“Hoo—!” After finally finding a gap to push the person away, Chi Ting lowered his eyes slightly to calm his heaving chest, a suspicious blush still remaining on his face.

His eyes swept over the smiling eyes of the man in front of him. He stretched out his hand to pull the rubber band behind his head, letting down his hair that was tied up for convenience. Then he said sincerely, “I think some rules need to be set for the sake of harmony in the future.”

Lou Yueren leaned against the head of the bed. His eyes were filled with a strong desire, but he smiled innocently. “I thought you liked it very much.”

“It can’t be said I don’t like it…” Chi Ting realized that he seemed to have almost stepped into the other person’s trap. He slightly raised an eyebrow and changed the subject calmly, “In short, it is necessary to exercise some restraint.”

“Okay, I’ll control myself.” Lou Yueren said this and suddenly moved closer, his breath brushing against Chi Ting’s ear. “But when I see you, I sometimes feel like I can’t control myself at all. What should I do?”

“Or maybe you can consider reducing the number of times we meet?”

Lou Yueren was about to bite Chi Ting’s earlobe, but he let out a sigh and reluctantly distanced himself. “Then I had better restrain myself.”

Chi Ting smiled with satisfaction.

He didn’t know what the love life of ordinary people was like, but he was at least very satisfied with his experience in the past few days.

“Captain? Captain, are you in there? It is time to get ready to go. Are you okay?” As the knock on the door sounded, Ji Xingque’s voice was heard from outside. His tone was urgent, and he seemed to be very worried about the situation inside.

It was only at this time that Chi Ting remembered he seemed to have received some group messages. Before he could open them, he was completely entangled by Lou Yueren.

To be precise, it wasn’t just now. In the past few days, they basically didn’t show up in front of other people.

“Get ready. I’ll go open the door>” Lou Yueren stood up reluctantly and expressed his dissatisfaction without hiding it. “Ji Xingque is really like a pink-feathered bird with an Oedipus complex sometimes. You should talk to him. Even if you are the captain, you need some private living space in the future. It would be good for everyone if we give each other some space.”

Chi Ting reached out and took the coat off the hanger. “You can talk to him yourself.”

Lou Yueren sneered. “If only he didn’t just listen to you.”

As he spoke, he had already walked over and opened the door. He glanced at the people standing outside neatly and expressed his friendliness. “Everyone is here early.”

“Early? It isn’t early! Today is the official opening day of the grand ceremony instance. I guess everyone from other teams has already gone there.” Ji Xingque noticed that Lou Yueren looked very happy and energetic. He couldn’t help taking a closer look. “You look pretty good. I haven’t seen you and the captain come out the past few days. I thought you fainted again.”

“Can’t you hope that I get better?’ Lou Yueren didn’t know whether to laugh or cry at this inference. “Of course, there are other things going on in the room. You make it sound like I’m so fragile that I’ll faint at any time.”

Ji Xingque wondered, “Huh? Aren’t you fragile?”

Lou Yueren: “……”

When did his fragile character become so deeply rooted in people’s hearts?

“The word ‘fragile’ is really not suitable for him at any time.” Lu Nanling interrupted their conversation with a calm and rational voice. He noticed Lou Yueren looking at him, and there was no obvious change in his expression. “I hope the time we spend together on the same team will be a wonderful memory for all of us, Mr Lou Yueren.”

Lou Yueren had already noticed that the other person was very aware of his background. Facing such suggestive words, he just raised an eyebrow and said, “Of course.”

Chi Ting put on his coat and walked out of the room. He glanced at them with some surprise and said, “Aren’t you going to report? What are you still standing here for? Let’s go.”

Ji Xingque was right about one thing. It was indeed not early in terms of time.

By the time Chi Ting’s team arrived at the century ceremony, it was already packed with people.

The participation rewards for this event were too generous. During this period, the forums had been flooded with team recruitment posts. By the end of the registration, the number of participating teams was astonishing.

No one knew how the event map of this grand ceremony suddenly appeared here. At this time, the players who entered from various teleportation points gathered together. The scene was extremely spectacular.

Looking up slightly, Chi Ting saw a floating screen with densely packed displays right above him.

The numbers were neatly marked in order, and there was no content on the dark screen.

“I’ve already learned that there are a total of 128 teams participating in this round. These screens will probably be used for live streams.” Lu Nanling shared the intelligence at the right time. “The specific content of the instance opened today isn’t clear, but what can be confirmed is that all teams in this round will enter independent instances. The top 8 will be ranked according to their clearance scores.”

Ji Xingque asked, “What do you mean by independent instance?”

Lu Nanling replied, “There are probably only two situations where an accurate ranking can be made. Either the content of a given instance is determined by the time it takes to clear the instance, or the time it takes to clear the instance is fixed, and the profit from clearing the instance is fixed. However, the people behind the scenes have made such a big fuss this time. They probably don’t want it to end too quickly. In my opinion, it is most likely a fixed duration instance.

Next to him, Song Xuefeng sighed a bit helplessly. “Is it a fixed duration…?”

Hua Qianmei couldn’t help laughing when she saw this. “You are already thinking about slacking off before we even start. Old Song, your work attitude is really bad. After all, this is the first team building after the team regrouped. You should at least have some fun.”

Song Xuefeng glanced at her. Then he lowered his eyes without any response.

Suddenly, a few clear bird calls caught everyone’s attention. Then the mechanical sound surrounding their heads fell repeatedly and heavily into everyone’s ears. “All teams, please pay attention. The instance channel is about to open. Please follow your registration number to report to the corresponding entrance! All teams, please pay attention. The instance channel is about to open. Please follow your registration number to report to the corresponding entrance! All teams, please pay attention…

“Our registration number is…” Chi Ting took a look. “Oh, number 89.”

“Yes, this way.” Lou Yueren naturally put his arm around Chi Ting’s shoulder and walked through the crowd that suddenly started to move. From a distance, he could notice that a few places seemed particularly busy. He looked up and glanced at them a few more times. “It looks like there is a seeded team over there? Oh, that way too.”

The few places where the crowd’s attention was focused were indeed very eye-catching. Lu Nanling simply commented, “It should be one of the leading teams. It has nothing to do with us.”

“That’s true.” Lou Yueren nodded.

The moment he finished answering, he heard Lu Nanling continue, “In any case, the focus will be on our team after this instance is over.”

Lou Yueren was slightly stunned. He couldn’t help smiling and moving closer to Chi Ting. “The people in your team really have unique personalities.”

Chi Ting’s ears were slightly itchy from the breath. So, he pushed the person aside and said, “We are here. Stop joking.”

Lou Yueren laughed. Seeing that no one else was paying attention to them, he naturally pulled the person over and bit his lip. “Come, block my mouth.”

Chi Ting: “.”

As they were talking, the group had already arrived at the teleportation entrance of No 89.

Next to them, other teams were completing their registration one after another. The scene looked very lively.

Not only was the ceremony site here, but also in the Sanctuary and the squares of all the small worlds below. All the big screens were showing the same scene.

Also watching their every move here was an observation room unknown to the players.

At this moment, all the screens went dark as the button fell.

No 7 smiled and looked at the girl next to him. “It is time to go to your home court, Examiner.”

No 3 looked at the man through the black veil and said with a noncommittal sound, “You speak so eloquently. I hope you can remember that this is an instance I designed.”

“Of course, I will remember that.” No 7 said while looking down at the time on his watch. “Let’s go. It is time for me to leave as well.”

No 3 tapped the ground lightly with the lace umbrella in her hand. Her lips curled up slightly and she followed No 7.

As the two figures disappeared through the door one after another, the major teams at the ceremony also entered the teleportation point.

An exclusive instance specially tailored for this event, with a special six person group participation mode.

As the members of the Dawn team were ready at the teleportation point, a familiar beam of light enveloped them all.

[Ding—!]

[Welcome the Dawn team to the instance: Seven Days Sales.]

[Genre: Management game.]

[The current number of survivors in the instance: 6/6.]

[The game is being imported.]

[Attention, please follow the rules of the game!]

……

One after another, beams of light rose up at the ceremony site.

At the same time, it wasn’t just at the ceremony site but also in the virtual screens that appeared above the squares of various small worlds. Instance scenes were gradually displayed, attracting many players to stop and watch.

No 89.

The Dawn team’s live stream room.
