She is the Side Character! — Watch Her Change her fate!
Chapter 511 - 510: Infinite Stream Cannon Fodder: Holiday Cruise 17
Ah Chen had just finished getting ready and was about to leave her room when she heard the broadcast: "Lucky ones, congratulations! The cruise ship is about to dock, I’m sure you won’t forget these seven days of beautiful times."
Ah Chen arrived at the deck, the place where they first appeared on the first day, and other survivors showed up too.
The three female adventurers who had a good relationship with NPCs, needless to say, surely passed, were now within her sight.
Additionally, she saw two lethargic male adventurers with injuries, clearly having had a rough night. Surviving out here, one has to admit they have some skills.
She thought that was everyone when unexpectedly, from a distance, another male adventurer appeared, looking like he hadn’t gone through anything last night, full of energy.
Perhaps he cleared the instance and might not be seen again. As he came closer, without waiting for questions, he spoke first: "Last night, I helped an NPC with some work. They found me sincere enough and took me to the storeroom, where I managed a night’s rest."
This was an idea he suddenly came up with since he had fallen on hard times before coming to this world, often working in restaurants and eateries, being taken in was not uncommon, and it worked even on the cruise ship.
The two surviving male adventurers exchanged glances, miffed that they hadn’t thought of this method.
They waited a little longer, and indeed, no new survivors appeared.
This time, four women and three men passed the instance, totaling seven people.
[Congratulations on clearing the instance.]
[Rewards are being calculated... calculation complete!]
[Do you wish to immediately exit the instance?]
The two disheveled male adventurers chose yes without hesitation and were instantly transported away. These two had prepared their own tuxedos; otherwise, without any resources at hand, surviving last night would have been impossible.
Including Ah Chen, five people remained on the deck.
The only male adventurer’s tuxedo was prepared by Ah Chen, so four-tenths of his rewards belonged to Ah Chen. During the calculations, both sides were notified, showing clearly.
It goes to show that having a tuxedo doesn’t guarantee clearing the instance; you still need to rely on your skills and accumulation, as anything can happen inside the instance.
After bidding farewell to the familiar NPCs, the adventurers gradually left.
Ah Chen did the same, exchanged a few words with Bai Chao, and then transported away.
The rewards this time were indeed generous; her money reward alone was 70,000, estimated at ten thousand per small checkpoint. There were also some item rewards, including a Resurrection Card. As expected, the several million won on the cruise ship were indeed converted into currency. The conversion rate wasn’t high, 100:1, totaling a little over five million, converting to more than 50,000, but it was still a pleasant surprise.
Actually, it’s already a considerable amount; besides Ah Chen, no one else won so much in the cruise ship’s card room, others at most won hundreds of thousands.
Few can reach this level, plus the portion from the adventurer, she netted over 150,000.
With this amount, just buying resurrection cards, Wei Wenlan could buy them four times.
She thought she’d be directly sent back to the resting space, but unexpectedly arrived at a bonus level.
[Triggered winning streak bonus level! Three consecutive victories allow future winning streaks to trigger a bonus level for each instance cleared. If an instance fails, the streak breaks, requiring three more consecutive clears to trigger again.]
[This bonus level: Treasure Basin. Gameplay: Adventurers must catch falling coins from above within a certain range. Consecutively caught coins will accumulate, up to a maximum of 32 coins, but occasional bombs will drop. If caught, the challenge ends. Duration 5 minutes! Within 5 minutes, if all coins are caught, the final reward is doubled.]
[Do you wish to immediately enter the bonus level?]
Ah Chen didn’t hesitate at all and chose yes.
She really liked this money-giving level.
If nothing goes wrong, adding the coins earned from the bonus level, she could earn over 200,000 coins this time.
With a blink of an eye, Ah Chen found herself in a special space.
Under her feet was a circle, not particularly large.
[Do you wish to start the challenge?]
Once Ah Chen clicked yes, coins indeed began to fall from above.
She stopped overthinking and moved quickly, proactively jumping to trigger the coins before reaching her, moving with incredible speed as if the challenge was meant for her to collect free money.
Of course, for anyone else, it wouldn’t be so easy.
Bombs dropped frequently, but with Ah Chen’s speed and reflexes, they posed no threat to her at all.
Unknowingly, five minutes passed.
[Challenge complete.]
[Without missing a single coin, the reward is doubled, totaling 64,242 coins.]
This number was satisfactory to Ah Chen. The coins’ falling speed was slow; triggering them early didn’t accelerate their fall. Otherwise, it’d be more than that.
Often she waited for coins to appear above her, unlike others who faced chaos in this challenge.
Earlier, while waiting for the coins to drop, Ah Chen sensed a consciousness spying on her, though without malice. From the feeling of power, she guessed it was the Main God of this world. Her unusual performance likely caught its interest.
This consciousness had spied on her before, several times with no ill intent, so she didn’t bother much.
『Friend, would you like to stay in this world?』
Unexpectedly, the other party initiated a conversation.
『Friend, with your excellence, there’s no need to challenge these ordinary levels anymore.』 The Main God lavished praise upon Ah Chen without reservation. Despite its formal tone, one could faintly detect a hint of flattery.
『If you are willing to stay here, you will be granted the highest privileges, and I can even arrange a grand wedding for you!』
Ah Chen: ...
So sneaky, using a handsome tactic.
Does Bai Chao know he’s being offered up?
Perhaps because her thoughts were too exposed, and Ah Chen didn’t deliberately hide them.
The Main God said: 『He would be willing! He likes you! No one has ever seen him care so much about anyone. Even when Bai Family juniors enter, he doesn’t follow them around all the time. Only when they’re about to die does he lend a hand.』
"Hello, Main God." Ah Chen greeted, admitting this was the friendliest Main God she’d encountered. Throughout these instances, she’d sensed the other party was quite decent.
『Hello, my friend, is there anything you wish for?』
"I currently have some things to attend to and need to leave for a while. I’ll be back once I’m done."
