"This is my current status."
"Hm. Looks like I've got an unallocated point."
Lin Wei noticed the change immediately. What he didn't realize, however, was that his date with Yuxi — and that kiss they shared under tense, exciting circumstances — had completed a hidden quest. [A Public Thrill], it was called. The objective: give a passionate kiss in a public setting to one of his targets.
He looked slightly stunned when the hidden quest notification appeared. He hadn't expected something so intimate to count as a quest. Yet, there it was — completed and rewarded with a status point.
And now, something else had changed.
Today, after completing a [Hidden Achievement]—something even more elusive than a hidden quest — a new feature had unlocked: the quest menu. It displayed several quests lined up, waiting for him. The requirement for unlocking the achievement?
Add 20 targets to his NTR list — that is, make meaningful contact and leave an impression on 20 individuals.
Also, there is that target list.
Target List:
Chen Yuxi: State: Excited. [Detail.] [Quest Available.]
Li Xueyin: State: Happy. [Detail.] [Quest Available.]
Stella William: State: Sleepy & Curious. [Detail.]
Lisa Morgan: State: Calm & Drunk. [Detail.]
Shen Yiran: State: low-Arousal & Tired. [Detail.]
Jiang Qinghe: State: high-Arousal & Sleepy. [Detail.]
Liu Ying: State: Drunk (High). [Detail.]
Wang Yumei: State: High-Arousal. [Detail] [Quest Available.]
Lin Wei's eyes flickered across the list of targets, scanning their states one by one. The details on each were always there, but tonight, fatigue clouded his mind.
He let out a soft sigh, but as his gaze fell upon the quest points and the time, his exhaustion started to fade. It wasn't long before he decided to dive deeper into the possibilities, analyzing each entry.
Wang Yumei stood out the most. She was in her room, but the situation was risky — highly risky. If he made his move, it could lead to an intimate encounter, no questions asked. But that was the catch: getting inside her room unnoticed was nearly impossible. The potential reward was clear, but so was the difficulty.
Li Xueyin, on the other hand, was a much easier target. All he needed to do was send a text. Right now, she was conflicted, reflecting on the events of that night and questioning whether her actions were right.
A well-timed message from him could guide her thoughts and increase her affinity, pushing her toward something more. With the right intervention, NTR could be on the horizon for her, but it would take careful manipulation and timing.
For Chen Yuxi, the quest was clear: meet her directly. At first, Lin Wei had thought it was a ridiculous task. Why meet her in person? But something in his gut told him this was the right move, and so, despite his initial reservations, he moved with purpose. He quickly grabbed his new clothes, put them on, and dashed out of his apartment, leaving Shen Yiran standing in the hallway, stunned by his sudden departure.
"What's he going to do tonight?" Shen Yiran wondered, watching him leave. By the time she stepped out, the door had already clicked shut behind him.
Lin Wei didn't answer her unspoken question. He was already well ahead of her. Downstairs, he barely had to wait before a taxi arrived.
Thanks to the NTR application's map feature, he could pinpoint Chen Yuxi's exact location. She was in the park, sitting alone — an odd choice, considering the time of night.
The eerie feeling settled in his chest, but he brushed it off. Paying the fare quickly, Lin Wei dashed toward the park, his mind racing.
A girl, alone at this hour, was strange enough to raise suspicion. Something about her being out there didn't sit right with him. Was she waiting for something—or someone?
Quest:
Meet Chen Yuxi and talk.
Reward: 1 Trillion Credits, New Application Offer.
As he made his way toward the park, the details of the quest played over in his mind. 1 Trillion Credits was an incredible amount, but the new application offer intrigued him even more. What could it be? What kind of tool or power would it unlock next?
The night was still, and the park felt eerily quiet as he drew closer.
"Haah! There she is..." Lin Wei whispered to himself as he spotted Chen Yuxi sitting on a bench in the park. The moment their eyes met, a brief flicker of shock crossed her face, quickly followed by an unsettling feeling that gripped her heart. Why is he here? she thought, her mind racing.
She had been expecting something to happen, but not this.
Lin Wei casually walked over and took the seat right beside her, his presence calm and unbothered. His eyes met hers, but it was clear she wasn't ready for this encounter.
"I had a feeling something was off," Lin Wei said with a soft smile, trying to put her at ease. "So, I came running. What happened? I'm all ears."
Chen Yuxi's gaze flickered down to the ground, her pale face reflecting the internal storm she was trying to contain. The weight of whatever she was dealing with was apparent in the quiet stillness around her.
"It's... weird," she began in a voice barely above a whisper, her tone heavy with repressed emotion. "I just... I just feel like my worth is only worth a dime."
Her words hung in the air, carrying the burden of many unspoken thoughts. Lin Wei could sense the turmoil she was trying to mask, the mental imbalance much worse than she let on. She seemed fragile, her emotions teetering on the edge.
He stayed quiet for a moment, giving her the space to continue. She clearly needed someone to listen, and he would give her that.
+
Lin Wei stayed with Chen Yuxi for an entire hour, quietly listening as she poured out her heart. The conversation unfolded in waves, moving from one side of her dilemma to the other.
Her parents insisted she fix her relationship with Mengkai, the novice rich guy, pushing her to do whatever it took.
On the other hand, even though she was bitter about it, she was ready to put in the effort, but Mengkai seemed uninterested in anything serious with her.
He didn't seem to care for a long-term relationship, and that realization had left her in emotional turmoil.
As she spoke, the weight of it all broke her. She cried, her silent whimpers echoing in the night. Her tears ran down her cheeks, but the moment the outburst ended, something shifted.
The emotional storm inside her calmed, and she rose to wash her face. When she returned, Lin Wei couldn't help but notice how different she seemed—there was a new calmness to her, but also a quiet strength.
For the first time, Lin Wei saw her not just as someone burdened by her situation, but as someone with a sense of resolve. She looked... cuter. More enchanting than he had ever seen her.
"I think I'll break off with him," she said, her voice firm now. "I'm done grinding myself like this."
There was no hesitation in her words, but Lin Wei could tell the decision didn't come without a cost.
The bitterness in her voice betrayed how much it hurt her to admit that she had been pushing for a relationship with someone who didn't share the same desires. She had invested so much, only to realize she was alone in her feelings.
"Hmmm... Do that," Lin Wei responded, his voice steady. "But don't you think you're letting him off too easily?"
He wasn't trying to undermine her decision, but he knew there was more to it. There was a way to make Mengkai feel the consequences of his indifference—something that would hit him harder than just being dumped.
While she pondered his words, Lin Wei took a moment to select his reward from the NTR application, activating the new feature that had unlocked. He had a plan, and it was a brilliant one.
"Hmm... Then what can I do about it?" Chen Yuxi asked, the bitterness still evident in her voice.
Lin Wei chuckled lightly. "Hah... What's that question? The real question is, what can't you do?"
He grinned, his mind already formulating the next steps.
"You're going to that party, right? I heard from Xueyin that Stella is bringing you along." Lin Wei's eyes gleamed with excitement. He had a plan that was about to unfold, one that would make Mengkai burn with jealousy.
Chen Yuxi looked at him, a little confused but intrigued.
"What's your idea?"
Lin Wei's smile widened. "Let's make him regret everything. Let's make that guy burn from the inside."
His words were chilling in their calmness, but strangely, Chen Yuxi felt a surge of happiness. It wasn't just the idea of getting back at Mengkai, but something about being with Lin Wei.
Every moment with him felt like an adventure—thrilling, unpredictable, and strangely empowering.
The weight that had been on her shoulders felt lighter whenever he was around.
