Chapter 5: "Barometer Tournament"

[What the hell. What is this?] Lai Jiayi clicked on the inbox in her mind, and a virtual board appeared in front of her eyes. As usual, no one could see it other than her.

[An event, quack? The game just made an event for the players, quack.] Yaya gripped his wings as he stared at the hologram board in front of them.

'Event? Is this like the Friyay Special Mission?'

Curious, Lai Jiayi just clicked on the notification itself, and a full description appeared on the board.

[Barometer Tournament: This is a competition to raise your barometer! PS: This event is an obligation event. Every player will be included automatically.]

'Raise our barometer? But isn't that what we usually try to do?'

Lai Jiayi rubbed her chin and leaned back against the car seat.

'Nevermind. Let's read further.'

Lai Jiayi clicked the 'rule' section, and the sentence on the hologram board changed.

[Rule: In 12 hours, the player that has the most increase in barometer will get a grand prize!]

[Oops, but five players that have the lowest increase in the barometer, has to do one embarrassing thing in front of the target ┐('～` )┌ ]

[The punishment of what to do will be chosen through a spin.]

[The event starts at 6 a.m and ends at 6 p.m. Players are allowed to interact with the target OUTSIDE their job schedule.]

[Now, use all your might to win this event! (ﾉ*>∀<)ﾉ♡ Good luck, players~ ]

The description of the event ended with the system giving motivation to the player. Reading this, Lai Jiayi should feel motivated, but she was demotivated instead.

[What kind of event is this…] Lai Jiayi touched her forehead and felt her head just throbbed.

'A competition to see who can raise their barometer the most in a day. Those who can't do so will get punishment. Not to mention, this is an obligation event.'

Lai Jiayi glanced at the hologram board again and felt like crying.

'And all players can interact with Zhao Yang outside their job schedule? Doesn't this mean anyone can bug him from morning to night?!'

Lai Jiayi looked at Yaya with blank eyes.

'Then, I have to compete with nine other girls to get Zhao Yang's attention. This..won't this be chaotic??'

[Yaya….this event…] Lai Jiayi gritted her teeth. [Is absurd. What's the prize for winning anyway? I bet it won't be that good.] Lai Jiayi clicked her tongue, cursing the game developer.

'They give me hangover soup as my mission's gift. What can I expect??'

[It said grand prize, quack, so I think...maybe there might be a second chance ticket, quack?] Yaya patted Lai Jiayi's cheek, trying to calm her down.

[Bah. What ticket is that? Is it important– ]

[The second chance ticket will allow a player to keep playing the game even after they're eliminated, quack!] Yaya shouted in Lai Jiayi's mind.

[It is extremely important in case you get eliminated, quack!] Yaya poked Lai Jiayi's cheek and kneaded it. [Xuan Lincheng also used this ticket before, quack, and that's why she's not eliminated yet, quack.]

'But I can't believe that girl got such a precious ticket just from random gacha. Her luck must be good.'

Once Lai Jiayi listened to what Yaya said, the girl widened her eyes and almost gasped. [That kind of ticket exists?? That's such a cheat– ]

[That's why you have to aim for the first prize, quack! Get it, quack??] Yaya's eyes lit up.

'I don't know why the game suddenly releases such a good event, but as long as it's beneficial, we have to win!'

Lai Jiayi instantly felt motivated. The girl glanced at the silent Zhao Yang on her left side and gulped.

'I want that second chance ticket, but...can I raise my barometer by A LOT compared to others?'

Lai Jiayi bit her lips, and her mind traveled to the other players.

'I don't need to worry about Chu Feng, Xuan Lincheng, Ji Zhuang, or Qin Bai. I bet it's hard for them to raise even 1% of their barometer.'

Lai Jiayi lowered her head and squinted her eyes.

'But players like Yu Ziyuan, Xiu Mei, Tan Xinya, and Ming Yue can't be underestimated.'

Lai Jiayi subconsciously bit her nail as she pondered.

'There will be five players that might get the punishment. I guess those four I mentioned before will be included in this section, so...there is still one more slot for the loser…'

Lai Jiayi clenched her skirt.

'It can be Ming Yue or me. If I can't win the event, at least I need to avoid the punishment!'

Lai Jiayi inhaled deeply and stole a glance at Yaya. The duck was currently waiting for her to react.

[Yaya, we need to discuss tomorrow's plan.] Lai Jiayi touched her forehead again. Somehow she felt dizzy, and the headache won't stop even though she's not drunk at all.

[Yes, quack. We need to find a strategy, quack.] Yaya nodded. But then he looked at Lai Jiayi with a worried gaze.

'Jia is tired. She should rest. Yet we can't do that soon. Tomorrow's event is crucial!'

Yaya suddenly felt heartache for Lai Jiayi. The duck snuggled to the girl's cheek and sighed.

'I hope Jia can hold on until tomorrow's event ends.'

After the duo talked about the event, they didn't say anything else as the car had arrived in front of the internet café.

Zhao Yang immediately told Lai Jiayi, thinking she was still under the alcohol influence. "We are here. Can you get off by yourself?" The man looked at Lai Jiayi with a slight worry in his eyes.

She makes me worry.
