Text Game: It All Began when a Cat-eared Girl Took Me In

Chapter 26: Chapter 26 When to Marry a Beast Eared Girl_1 Chapter 26: Chapter 26 When to Marry a Beast Eared Girl_1 “Of course it wasn’t her.”

Face-to-face with his roommates’ skepticism, Luo Xi picked up his phone and gave it a shake, laughing, “I’ve said it before, I’m not interested in three-dimensional women, only 2D characters can be my wife!”

Chen Yao immediately lost interest. “Pssh! Boring, I’m going to sleep.”

Wang Yuanjie said dubiously, “Then why did you block her this semester?”

“Stop talking about it!”

Grinding his teeth, Luo Xi said, “That day, just as I was changing some materials, her call suddenly popped up. My phone glitched, my finger slipped, and the more than twenty thousand in red bills I was planning to use all got swapped for a thousand pieces of utterly useless crap. I’ll probably never use them up even till the game servers shut down. I was so angry I blocked all her contacts. It’s not like they were any use to keep.”

Wang Yuanjie: “…”

Some people are truly destined to be single.

Luo Xi went into the bathroom to wash his feet, then climbed into bed as well.

Actually, the whole liking 2D characters thing was just a joke.

The real reason was that he couldn’t even afford to feed himself; previously, every time he went to the cafeteria, he had to think about whether or not to get a meat dish—where would he find the spare cash to keep a beautiful girlfriend?

You might unexpectedly end up wearing a green grass hat. Aren’t there enough cases like this in society?

Moreover, nowadays having a 2D character for a wife doesn’t seem impossible, right?

Perhaps bringing back a beast eared lolita from the game wouldn’t be too bad… ahem.

Engrossed in his wild thoughts, Luo Xi finally checked his investment app after a long time and took a look.

He had been too preoccupied with recent events to pay attention to this little reserve fund of his.

?!

Why is everything green?

Luo Xi hastily closed the investment app.

Definitely opened it wrong.

So he opened it again.

Emmmm…

Good lord, a steep drop of eight points, losing over 700 yuan today.

If this goes on, he’d be begging on the streets before he even graduated.

Should he pull the money out?

Forget it, withdrawing it now would probably see it gone even faster.

Luo Xi exited the fund app with some sadness and launched “Dawn.”

[Traveler, your character is currently sleeping…]

[Ding! Traveler, your Sadness Value +20]

This game really has a firm grasp on my emotions.

Luo Xi tapped on a new module that appeared with a cloud-like symbol in the top right corner.

[Dreamland Synchronization Module (Cooling down)]

[Description: After using this module, you can synchronize and enter your character in the Dream world. Each synchronization can last no longer than 30 minutes, with a cooldown period of 24 hours]

[Kind Reminder: In the Dreamland Synchronization mode, unless the Traveler dies, you cannot exit the Dream world. Please pay attention to your safety when using this feature]

Luo Xi yawned.

It was time for him to sleep as well.

…

Hang City, a high-rise apartment in the city center.

A man sat in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of his living room, sipping a glass of wine leisurely, enjoying the delicate taste of expensive red wine, like a refined prince…

If his other hand wasn’t furiously tapping on the phone screen.

[Poor Traveler, you have been followed by a pack of Chasing Wind Wolves. Your speed is fast, but the Wind Wolves are also not slow. They can smell your scent and keep up with you]

[Traveler, please find a human settlement as soon as possible. The snow is getting heavier, and you feel your temperature and physical strength gradually slipping away.]

[Traveler, you have eaten a [Special Onigiri], and some of your physical strength has been restored!]

“Damn, do these wolves have a grudge against me or what! They’ve been chasing me for half a day, and they’re still after me even when it’s dark. Do they want to eat me that badly?”

The man felt on the verge of tears.

When he entered the game, he chose two agility-related talents. The combination was very powerful, but the downside was also related to agility.

The talents are as follows:

[Posing as Wind (Purple/Epic): Your agility stat gets a final increase of +100%. You walk with a special charm (your “asking for a beating” value +100), which makes you very attractive to others, but also more likely to get beaten up (Posing as Wind, always at my side!)]

[Swift Runner (Blue/Rare): Your agility stat +20 (Nobody is born faster than me!)]

When choosing talents, there was only one purple talent and two blue talents, plus one green talent for him to consider, so the man went for what seemed like the best combination.

As for the side effects of the purple talent, he ignored them outright.

No doubt about it, this was definitely the developers messing around.

And yet… the man remembered all too well the dozens of townspeople who had chased after him, wanting to beat him up because he looked at them wrong, plus the pack of wolves that had been on his tail ever since he left the town. It almost broke his spirit.

Not to mention the time he nearly got beaten up by security guards at the supermarket, mistaking him for a thief.

What the hell was all this!

[Traveler, you see a giant tree emitting a soft glow ahead. It is bestowing its blessing on a vast city.]

[New Area Unlocked: Winter City]

The man’s face lit up with joy.

Damn, finally found it!

The nearby major city, with a population of three hundred thousand, would definitely offer plenty of opportunities!

[The Chasing Wind Wolves have stopped their pursuit. Traveler, you are temporarily safe.]

The man breathed a sigh of relief.

Survived.

The feeling of being drained after dying multiple times, which left him bedridden without a trace of strength, and at the mercy of any criminal who entered his home, was something he never wanted to experience again.

[Do you want to enter Winter City?]

[Yes]

[You have arrived at the gates of Winter City.]

[The guards say they won’t let anyone in at night. They suggest you come back tomorrow and tell you if you continue walking to the right, there is an area established against the city wall called Variant Settlement. Although it is filthy and disgusting, the inn there could accommodate you for the night, saving you from dying of cold.]

[Traveler, do you want to go take a look?]

That gathering place must be Grey Stone Street the map mentioned, right? Where a lot of Beast Eared Girls gather.

The man put down his phone, showing a sly grin.

That kind of place usually has very ‘fun’ spots, doesn’t it?

The synchronization feature he had unlocked yesterday could really come in handy now!

Lovely, beautiful beast eared sisters, here I come!

…

After midnight, under the radiant light of the Winter Divine Tree, the city entered a tranquil sleep, with only snowflakes and cold wind sweeping across the land.

As the night deepened, the snow became heavier, piling up along the streets.

In the inn, a young man’s chest rose and fell gently on the bed, unmistakably asleep.

A shadow in black appeared at the foot of the young man’s bed, silently reaching out to touch the young man’s forehead gently.

A green mark that looked like a twisted snake flashed for a moment on the young man’s forehead.

“Hmmph.”

The shadow hummed lightly, nodding in satisfaction, then disappeared on the spot.

[Ding! Traveler, you have been cursed…]
