Extra: Valentine’s Day Event (1)
Han Yuze groggily reached out to the side, only to find it empty.
When he opened his eyes, he realized the person next to him was no longer there.
His hazy gaze lingered for a moment before gradually clearing up. Just as he was about to call Jiang Shi, the room door pushed open, revealing a head peeking in from outside.
Over this period, Jiang Shi’s hair had unknowingly grown quite long. Although not excessively so, combined with his handsome face, it gave the illusion of a mythical elf in the mortal world.
Han Yuze found himself momentarily dazed.
Then, he heard Jiang Shi speak, “Planning to sleep in? Did you forget what day it is today?”
“Hmm?” Han Yuze pretended to think for a moment, “What day is it?”
Although he had just woken up, he certainly hadn’t forgotten such an important day. He was just teasing Jiang Shi.
But it seemed the teasing didn’t go as planned because Jiang Shi raised an eyebrow slightly, and his gaze carried a hint of danger as it swept over.
Clearing his throat, Han Yuze said, “Of course, I remember. It’s Valentine’s Day, such an important holiday that can’t be forgotten.”
Jiang Shi was satisfied, leaving with a casual “Come out for breakfast” before closing the door.
Han Yuze yawned slowly, feeling over the clothes on the bedside and slowly putting them on.
Yesterday’s activities were indeed a bit intense. Despite Jiang Shi’s usual calm demeanor, in such situations, he seemed like a true enchanting spirit, capable of captivating anyone.
Just a brief recollection made Han Yuze feel a subtle heat rising within him.
Rubbing his hair in a wry smile, he headed into the bathroom.
After a while, faint sounds of water could be heard from inside.
Half an hour later, with a towel around his neck, Han Yuze emerged from the bathroom, drying the damp strands of hair around him.
He immediately noticed the breakfast that had been delivered by the delivery guy not long ago.
Han Yuze pulled a chair next to Jiang Shi and sat down, taking a bite of a steamed bun. Nonchalantly, he asked, “What do you want to do today?”
Jiang Shi, looking strangely at him, replied, “You didn’t plan anything?”
Han Yuze paused, cleared his throat, and said, “I’m all ears to your plans.”
“Fine, it shouldn’t make much of a difference.” Jiang Shi finished eating first, grabbed the jacket hanging nearby, and threw it to Han Yuze. “Finish your breakfast, and we’ll head out.”
Although Han Yuze did have the intention of taking Jiang Shi out for a proper date, at this moment, a sense of curiosity was stirred. He was genuinely curious about how things would turn out if Jiang Shi took the lead. So, he didn’t say anything, quickly finished breakfast, and obediently followed Jiang Shi out.
The two arrived at the building where Jiang Shi lived.
Han Yuze thought Jiang Shi might be going upstairs to get something. After getting out of the car, he leaned against the door, not moving. However, he saw Jiang Shi take a few steps forward, turn around, and look at him strangely. “What are you doing standing there? Come along.”
Han Yuze asked, “Aren’t you going upstairs?”
“Why go upstairs?” Jiang Shi also found Han Yuze’s behavior very strange. So, naturally and casually, he took Han Yuze’s hand and walked forward. In a soft voice, he said, “You’re quite calm today, not in a hurry at all.”
The new day had just begun, and Han Yuze hadn’t figured out what Jiang Shi meant by needing to hurry.
It wasn’t until the familiar storefront came into view from a distance that Han Yuze understood everything when he glanced at the person in front of him.
Starry Sky Internet Cafe.
What else could they do here?
Han Yuze couldn’t help but smile wryly. With his left hand held by Jiang Shi, he could only bury his face in his right hand, laughing softly.
Actually, he should have expected it. What other kind of date plan could his boyfriend come up with on such an important Valentine’s Day? This current situation was more in line with his character.
G-1314 had almost become their exclusive private room.
As soon as they logged into the game, they saw the new activity interface.
The holographic world never missed any special occasions.
At this moment, the words “Valentine’s Day Series Event” in the center of the interface were particularly clear.
Well, dates could be arranged anytime, but missing out on the Valentine’s Day event would be a real loss.
Han Yuze sighed silently in his heart, quietly connected to his phone interface, and canceled the candlelight dinner reservation on the app.
Knowing Jiang Shi, lunch and dinner today would undoubtedly be easily taken care of at the internet cafe.
But what could he do? His boyfriend at home spoiled him unconditionally!
As usual, this year’s Valentine’s Day event was quite rich — [Rose Oath], which required collecting 520 red roses; [Traveling Together], where couples had to take photos at 10 scenic spots; and [Eternal Oath], involving collecting seashells on the beach to personally DIY jewelry.
However, what caught their attention the most was the newly introduced [Couple Challenge] this year. The reward for completing the tasks was a set of dual rings for couples, not to mention the attractive styles; just the inherent attribute enhancements were tempting enough. At the same time, the first couple on the server would receive a unique title: Eternal Love XXX.
Although the title reward was somewhat embarrassing to take outside, the allure of the ring set was indeed real.
As everyone knew, the crafting system on Genesis never included jewelry.
Rings, necklaces, bracelets, and similar items are often pursued by those who prioritize aesthetics, with no specific combat effects. However, the rings introduced in this event, although the attributes may seem cheap, are undoubtedly the best choice for high-end players.
Han Yuze exchanged a glance with Jiang Shi and directly formed a team, heading towards the registration point.
Whether high-end players pursuing stats or fashion enthusiasts seeking beauty, under the temptation of the event rewards, both real couples and singles quickly formed teams.
The registration area was crowded, and the appearance of Jiang Shi and Han Yuze noticeably quieted the lively atmosphere.
Some people were pleasantly surprised to encounter gaming gods, while others expressed complex expressions of helplessness and sarcasm.
“Ah, it’s God Milk and God Yu! I’ve watched the Century Cup of this generation several times, never expected to encounter them in the game!”
“Hey hey hey… in the game, it can’t really be considered ‘real,’ can it?”
“Don’t bother with the details, hehehe, they are really handsome together! Such a perfect match!”
“Isn’t it unbelievable? Poisoned Milk and Yu Weize also registered? I just registered, what if I run into them later?”
“These two are a real couple, it’s normal for them to participate…”
“I think it’s great to encounter them. God, please defeat me up close, let me see the heroic posture of the two! I can really take it!”
“What’s the reward for first place this time? I think I can pre-order it in advance.”
“Not necessarily, there might be other god-level players forming teams, right?”
“Cough cough cough, just participating normally will get the ring; it’s not necessary to aim for the title reward.”
“Um, I’m just curious. Are there any other real couples in various guilds?”
“I heard about Spring God and Mad God! No One God and Snake Scorpion Curse can also qualify!”
“I actually think it would be cool if those god-level players from various guilds teamed up randomly. Secretly hoping for a sudden official announcement this year.”
…
Amidst the surrounding discussions, the two completed their registration.
Holding the permit, Jiang Shi walked towards the event teleportation gate, his thoughts somewhat distracted by the players’ conversations.
After some thought, he asked, “Are Old Spring and Mad Stomp really a couple?”
“Cough, cough, cough.” Han Yuze was caught off guard by his sudden question, coughing a few times. Then, he remembered seeing a fan fiction article on Jiang Shi’s phone yesterday and burst into laughter. “I don’t know about that. You have him as a friend, why not ask directly?”
“Never mind, I’m not that curious.” Jiang Shi waved his hand, using the registration code to pass through the teleportation point.
The so-called Couple Challenge was essentially a 2v2 competitive confrontation, using a random mode in the arena that followed the single-player battle format.
Since it was a user-friendly regular holiday event, obtaining the basic rewards wasn’t too difficult. Regardless of win rate, completing 10/30/50 matches during the event would earn corresponding rewards. The 50 matches milestone awarded the popular ring set.
With a large number of participants, Jiang Shi and Han Yuze almost instantly found a match when entering the queue.
Then, they swiftly defeated their opponents.
Facing ordinary players, the result was undoubtedly a crushing victory. The only match that took a bit longer was against fans who had seven silver coins.
Upon entering the map and discovering their opponents were Jiang Shi and Han Yuze, the opposing couple, excitedly shouted in the public chat, then begged them to take a photo together in the arena before self-destructing on the spot.
They demonstrated what it meant to depart with a smile.
Unconsciously, Jiang Shi and Han Yuze smoothly achieved a ten-game winning streak.
Without hesitation, the two entered the matchmaking queue again.
Still, they entered instantly.
Their opponents this time had unfamiliar game IDs. During the preparation phase, Jiang Shi glanced at them without much concern. Little did he know that the opposing side was already in an uproar.
Their opponents turned out to be Qian Duoduo, a streamer from Kuniu TV. Originally just casually livestreaming the event, Qian Duoduo rubbed her eyes vigorously when she saw the two game IDs clearly. “Oh my God, is this for real!?”
At this moment, the barrage in her livestream was completely exploding:
[“Duo Duo can do it, what luck in this matchmaking! 66666!”]
[“What a massive dog food scene, indeed, God-level couples won’t miss this Valentine’s Day event!”]
[“My friend just saw God Milk and God Yu registering. Didn’t expect to run into them here?”]
[“Duo Duo can do it! It’s time to prove your skills! Winning this match will make you a true skilled streamer!”]
[“I’ve got my seat ready to eat dog food correctly, don’t underestimate us!”]
…
While the barrage was rolling lively, the audience was eagerly awaiting the streamer’s response. Unexpectedly, when they looked up, they found that the room name of the livestream had already been changed: [Valentine’s Day Spreading Love Live! Couple Challenge Event Encountering Poisoned Milk and Yu Weize!]
Audience: ?
You’ve caught the heat quickly!
