Chapter 304: Damp traces, [Performance Fruit]

"It's dark, please close your eyes."

"Werewolves, please open your eyes."

…

"It's dawn."

"Damn it! How is it me being killed again?"

? ￠O

"I'm the Prophet, trust me, Xiaohao and Tang Song, they are both werewolves! Vote them out immediately!"

…

The Wind-Chasing Electric Club was filled with a lively and jubilant atmosphere.

After playing billiards and Werewolf for a good while, Tang Song stood up from his seat.

He came to the bar, opened a can of lychee-flavored Zhenzhen, and took a few gulps.

Leaning against a high stool, he looked out the window with contentment.

Because it was located around a scenic area, the environment here was beautiful, the air was fresh, and from time to time, one could see birds circling in the sky.

Outside the light-colored glass, Cheng Qiuqiu and Mo Li were huddled together, sitting under a phoenix tree.

Cheng Qiuqiu was holding a guitar, strumming it from time to time, her expression very excited.

Tang Song admired this sexy and hot girl for a while, threw the empty soda can into the trash, and stepped out the door.

Hearing footsteps, the two people chatting looked up at the same time.

Seeing it was him, Mo Li quickly stood up and greeted him sweetly.

Then she added playfully: "Male god, I added your WeChat in the group, can you do me a favor?"

"Sure!" Tang Song snapped his fingers generously.

Since she called him so sweetly, he still had to give her this bit of face.

"Yay! Thank you, male god! Honestly, I've become your fan now, your guitar playing is amazing! Your singing voice is also super good, I love it to death!" Mo Li excitedly stepped forward to hug Tang Song's arm, even daring to rub against him, and said with satisfaction: "Anyway, I'll go to the bar to drink some water first, you two chat slowly."

Seeing Mo Li being so sensible, Tang Song took out his phone and accepted her friend request.

Cheng Qiuqiu carried her guitar and nodded at him, which counted as a greeting.

Then, as if remembering something, she said happily: "Su Yu released a demo of a new song on the fan forum, it's one she just finished, it's so good."

"Oh? Let me listen."

Qiuqiu nodded, picked up her phone from the seat behind her, and clicked play.

The demo was very short, less than 1 minute.

"Su Yu's songs are always written based on her mood. You can tell she is very happy right now, but netizens have started heatedly discussing her mysterious lover again."

Mentioning her idol, Qiuqiu's eyes instantly became curved, completely different from her previous coldness.

After listening to it a few times, Tang Song smiled and reached out to Qiuqiu, "Let me use the guitar."

"Here!" Qiuqiu's eyes lit up instantly, and she handed it over with both hands.

She really wanted to hear the melody of this new song live.

She had been hesitating about how to ask Tang Song before, but now she had gotten her wish.

Tang Song sat down casually on the wooden chair, his fingers lightly plucking the strings.

Soon, the pleasant guitar sound drifted through the lush courtyard.

The tune was relaxed and lively, carrying a sense of beauty and longing, very much like being in love.

The dark clouds gradually dispersed, and wisps of golden light shone through the gaps in the thick clouds, casting mottled light and shadows.

Looking at Tang Song, who was holding the guitar confidently and freely under the phoenix tree, Qiuqiu's eyes revealed a bright smile, also carrying deep appreciation and admiration.

Tang Song's guitar level was already fully capable of forming a formal band.

Honestly speaking, his appearance was even more outstanding than her high school classmate Xu An.

He could definitely debut on the spot and would surely be very popular.

The guitar sound slowly ended.

Tang Song casually placed the guitar on the seat and stood up to look at Qiuqiu in front of him.

Because they were close, he could clearly smell the faint fragrance on her.

It wasn't perfume, but the scent of body wash, skincare products, and laundry detergent mixed together.

Very clean, very pleasant.

Qiuqiu looked away with an unnatural expression.

Tang Song smiled and said: "I have something I'd like your help with, are you free now?"

"What is it?"

"The sky is very beautiful right now, I plan to go to the Hutuohe riverside to shoot a short video, and I'd like you to help me hold the camera."

"Of course." Qiuqiu agreed immediately.

They were friends after all, helping with a small favor was normal.

"Let's go, I'll give you a ride on my bike." Tang Song pointed to the parking lot.

Qiuqiu was stunned for a moment, "I'd better ride my own bike, it's safer that way."

She had never sat on another boy's motorcycle and wasn't used to such physical contact.

"It's okay, we're just shooting a segment by the river, it's very close." Tang Song took the car keys out of his pocket and shook them lightly, "I heard you like the double R, or you can give me a ride."

After speaking, Tang Song winked at her with a smile.

He really hadn't sat in a girl's passenger seat before, and he was actually quite looking forward to it.

Qiuqiu's face turned red instantly, and after a moment of silence, she said: "Then... then you'd better give me a ride."

They arrived at the parking area along the clean stone path.

Tang Song sat on it nimbly, inserted the key to start the engine, and turned his head, "Get on, QQ."

Cheng Qiuqiu, who had put on her helmet, said "Mm," and sat on the back seat cautiously.

After hesitating for a moment, she still put her hands around Tang Song and rested them on the fuel tank cap, her body always maintaining a certain "safe" distance.

"Vroom vroom vroom—"

With a smooth start and gear shift, the BMW double R accelerated out of the club gate.

…

Watching the two people slowly disappear from sight, Liu Wenning, sitting by the window, clenched his fists tightly, his mood extremely frustrated.

Gritting his teeth and stomping his feet, he said hatefully: "Damn dog thing, is having money so great? Deliberately finding trouble for me, making things difficult for me, damn it!"

Zhou Dongbing, who was next to him, whispered: "Wenning, the 5 performances are all over, why don't we leave? I'll drink with you tonight, and we can chat slowly."

Zhou Dongbing himself had a somewhat reckless personality and often cursed when he spoke.

But ever since he was detained once, he had become much more restrained.

Plus, he had worked at Li Junyi's nightclub before, so he performed exceptionally well-behaved today.

His thinking was very simple: since he couldn't afford to offend them, he would just hide. Anyway, as long as he could earn money, it was fine.

If there was any resentment, he would just curse slowly after closing the door.

Liu Wenning let out a breath, his gaze shifting, and he suddenly said: "Dongbing, this White Knight Band is disbanded, I won't participate in commercial performances in the future either."

"What's wrong, Wenning?" Zhou Dongbing's expression changed, and he quickly advised: "Don't, isn't it pretty good like this?"

Except for Cheng Qiuqiu, the other three were old friends who played self-media and sang at bars.

Liu Wenning was the one who was doing the best among them, had more fans, and could often get various bar-singing gigs.

Mo Li and he were in a more miserable situation.

Forming this temporary band allowed them to earn some extra money from time to time, easing their economic pressure.

Liu Wenning pursed his lips and said: "Some time ago, an entertainment company contacted me and wanted to sign me. They have some resources and connections in the film and music circles, so I plan to go and try."

He didn't want to go before; after all, he was living quite freely now and wasn't short of money.

Moreover, that fat and old artist director clearly wanted to sleep with him, which made him feel sick just thinking about it.

But being provoked by Tang Song several times in a row, the anger in his heart was burning fiercely.

To take revenge, he had to make himself powerful.

Liu Wenning decided to grit his teeth and give it a try; maybe he could really become popular?

When the time came, he would return as a king and slap Tang Song's dog face hard!

……

Because the clouds in the sky were thick, the sunlight wasn't intense, carrying a unique softness.

The horizon was gradually dyed with a gentle afterglow of orange-red and light purple, outlining a quiet and peaceful picture on the vast sky.

The fresh and moist wind rushed into his nostrils, and lush trees brushed past him.

Cheng Qiuqiu, sitting in the back, took a deep breath, her tense body gradually relaxing.

Her nose twitched, and she smelled the fresh and pleasant scent on Tang Song.

She felt a bit strange in her heart.

Clearly, he was also wearing a riding suit, but he didn't seem to have the sweat odor that others had.

After being dazed for a while, Cheng Qiuqiu's face turned slightly red.

She felt she was a bit strange today; why would she care about these messy things?

However, there was one thing she had to admit: she really didn't dislike or reject Tang Song in her heart.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have sat in the back seat.

As her body posture relaxed, some physical contact inevitably occurred between the two.

Cheng Qiuqiu's heartbeat accelerated for a moment, then quickly returned to normal.

The gray-black ancient city wall came into view, and the bike slowly drove onto the road along the Hutuohe River.

The roar of the engine seemed exceptionally clear and rhythmic on this quiet afternoon.

Near the intersection, as the bike braked to a stop.

A pair of bouncy large Ds pressed lightly against his back, then immediately lifted.

Feeling the unique sensation behind him, a big smile appeared on Tang Song's face.

When he gave Lingling a ride before, he didn't have much of a feeling because of her talent issues.

Now he actually experienced the fun in it.

Speaking of which, the homophone for Lingling is 00, and the homophone for Qiuqiu is QQ.

Just from the literal meaning, QQ was indeed fuller and more protruding.

Hmm, these two nicknames are very reasonable!

Immediately, the figure of Liu Qingning appeared in Tang Song's mind again.

When he was in school before, he often gave her a ride on an electric scooter, wandering around the county town.

He really missed her hands that tightly wrapped around him, as well as her unreasonable E-cup.

This "white moonlight" was indeed a darling favored by heaven.

When she was in high school, her talent was already fully displayed; she was cute with a baby face and was also a top student in the school.

She was deeply loved by the vast number of students and teachers.

She had a clear and definite life plan for herself; she was mature in thought, rational, good at thinking, and full of desire for knowledge and exploration.

In front of her, Tang Song would often feel his own immaturity.

◆C〇

Objectively speaking, the two people were really not from the same world.

He studied hard, and in the end, he only got into Yancheng University of Technology, an ordinary first-tier university.

While Liu Qingning, in addition to studying, listened to songs, read novels, daydreamed, and chatted, and finally got into the top 2 Imperial University in China without any waves.

During college, she also won the gold medal in the "Internet+" entrepreneurship competition.

It was also because she was too dazzling that Tang Song never dared to confess to her.

If it weren't for the sentence in her letter, "Let's each work hard and meet at the peak," he felt he wouldn't have been able to persist for so long.

It could be said that this sentence she wrote on the letter paper in 2015 directly changed his senior year, his college, and his life.

"Meet at the peak..." In the wind, Tang Song's tone was calm, but his spirit was soaring.

The school uniform, high ponytail, and straight bangs that were blown by the wind in the back seat of the electric scooter had long become the symbols of his youth.

The reason he hadn't gone to find his "white moonlight" was also because of this obsession.

He wanted to become more outstanding, wanted to reach a higher peak.

He wanted his youth to see his unique style.

Tang Song raised his head and shouted toward the evening glow.

He only felt his heart suddenly open up, and deep joy and flamboyance erupted in his eyes.

……

The dusk gently caressed the sky, and the sparkling river was covered with a layer of golden brilliance.

In his ears was the whisper of the flowing river, and occasionally crisp bird calls came from afar.

On a quiet path by the Hutuohe River, with the dusk sky, the murmuring river, and the lush trees as the background.

They shot a video of Tang Song driving the BMW double R past.

Then they added some first-person perspective videos before driving back to the club.

Since it was already late, the riding team soon set off on the return journey.

As the motorcade drove into the city.

High-rise buildings and heavy traffic rushed into sight again, and the noise and prosperity came rushing toward them.

At the intersection of Sports Street.

Mo Li waved her hand with a smile, gave Tang Song a wink, and said loudly: "Male god, QQ, I have something to do tonight, bye~"

"Bye, be careful on the road." "Bye."

Watching Mo Li drive the Jinjila 300 and disappear around the corner.

Tang Song turned to look at Qiuqiu, "QQ, thank you for accompanying me to shoot the video this afternoon, let me treat you to a meal, what do you want to eat?"

Qiuqiu hesitated for a moment and said softly: "That... thank you."

In the end, the two chose an authentic Sichuan hot pot restaurant, which was also an old shop that Qiuqiu occasionally visited.

Because it was Saturday night and it was a bustling commercial street, the shop was crowded with people.

The two waited on the stools outside for more than half an hour before it was their turn.

The rich spicy aroma rushed into their nostrils, instantly evoking a craving in their taste buds.

The warm yellow light shone on the simple wooden tables and chairs, and the walls were hung with decorative paintings full of Sichuan characteristics, creating an atmosphere that was both warm and full of the flavor of life.

The handmade beef hot pot base was spicy, fresh, and fragrant, not dry at all.

The dishes were all very fresh.

Crispy tripe, freshly sliced beef, smooth duck blood...

Swishing them in the rolling spicy beef soup, it was spicy and satisfying, truly delicious.

In addition, Qiuqiu also ordered some braised dishes and hand-beaten lemon tea.

Eating them with the hot pot was very satisfying.

The two chatted while eating.

Besides Shimmer Coffee and motorcycles, they also talked about Sichuan hot pot.

Tang Song only then learned that Qiuqiu's hometown was in Chengdu, Sichuan.

However, unlike the Sichuan girls he imagined who would say "Laozi Shu Dao Shan," she was clearly an introverted and silent person.

Only when talking about Su Yu would she become cheerful and bright, as if she were a different person.

In fact, the reason Tang Song had a good impression of her.

Besides her figure and appearance, there was also the reason of Su Yu.

…

When the two walked out of the hot pot restaurant door.

The sky had already completely darkened.

Neat streets, bright streetlights, flickering neon lights, and bustling crowds.

The summer night breeze blew toward them, and the smell of hot pot on their bodies drifted into the air.

Tang Song took a deep breath, silently feeling the human fireworks at this very moment.

Qiuqiu looked at his profile and was dazed for a moment, then said: "Thanks for the treat, when there's a chance, I'll treat you back."

"Oh?" Tang Song raised his eyebrows and smiled: "When will there be a chance? QQ, you aren't just being polite, are you?"

Under the warm light, Cheng Qiuqiu's face turned red, and she stammered: "No... then let's do it next time we go on a motorcycle trip."

She was indeed just being polite, and didn't expect Tang Song to be so direct, which made her very embarrassed.

"Pfft—" Tang Song chuckled, reached out and patted her head, and waved goodbye, "Bye, be safe on the road."

After speaking, Tang Song directly sat on his ninja400 and started the engine.

The motorcycle headlight emitted a bright light, slowly merging into the night.

Watching his handsome back, feeling the high spirits and clear breeze on him.

Cheng Qiuqiu was slightly dazed.

She probably knew why she didn't reject contact with him.

Besides the good impression from Su Yu's support before, and today's guitar singing.

It was more because of the vibrant and infectious aura on him.

Just like senior Gao Mengting, he could let her gloomy and empty heart be sunned by the sun, which was very comfortable.

The wind blew across her cheeks, and the roar of the engine seemed to still echo in her ears.

Cheng Qiuqiu shook her head, her orange-brown long hair fluttering lightly.

She put on her helmet and drove the Suzuki GSX250 toward Zhuxi Residential Area.

……

"Creak—"

The door of 1202 was gently pulled open, and the living room was brightly lit.

Cheng Qiuqiu changed into slippers and walked into the living room.

She turned on the floor fan and picked up the water cup on the table to take a sip.

Footsteps came.

Cheng Qiuqiu turned her head and saw Gao Mengting walking out of the master bedroom.

Gao Mengting smiled gently: "You're back a bit late today, didn't you say you could get home before 7 o'clock?"

"I had a meal outside with friends today, so it delayed some time."

Gao Mengting sniffed, "Well, so you went to eat hot pot."

Cheng Qiuqiu put down the water cup and lowered her head to sniff herself.

Besides the sweat smell, there was also a thick smell of beef tallow hot pot base, which was truly hard to describe.

Her face turned red, and she quickly stood up, "Senior, I'll go take a shower first."

After speaking, she walked into the bedroom, took a bath towel, and quickly went to the bathroom.

Soon, one piece of clothing after another was taken off.

Lifting her leg, she took off her inner wear, and just as Cheng Qiuqiu was about to put it in the small basin, her gaze suddenly paused.

On her pink panties, some not-so-obvious traces appeared.

Gently touching them, her mouth gradually opened wide, and the expression on her face was very strange.

"This... what is going on?"

……

Yanjing Tiancheng.

Tang Song parked his motorcycle and returned to his large apartment while humming a song.

He picked up a glass, put in a few ice cubes, and poured half a glass of Macallan whiskey.

Tang Song leaned on the sofa and drank by himself.

After being cooled by the ice cubes, the liquor had a subtle aroma and a soft and refreshing taste.

"Ding! Congratulations to the player, the challenge task 【High Spirits】 has been completed."

Immediately after, a faint light screen floated in front of his eyes, and lines of text jumped out.

【Reward settlement in progress...】

【In today's riding journey, your heart was full of confidence and passion, filled with hope, humble yet sharp, proud yet calm. You experienced the colorfulness of life with a richer heart and well felt the high spirits that belong to you.】

【You have obtained a special item: Mall Refresh Card *1】

Tang Song raised the corners of his mouth, drank the whiskey in the glass in one gulp, and casually placed it on the coffee table.

He entered the warehouse, selected 【Mall Refresh Card】, and used it immediately.

"Ding! The system mall has been updated, and new items have been listed." A crisp system prompt sounded in his ears.

He returned to the main interface and entered the mall module.

On the originally empty shelves, two items flickering with different lights appeared.

Touching them lightly with his consciousness, the product information popped up instantly.

【Performance Fruit】: Within one week after use, it can gradually improve body performance and enhance personal endurance. (Price: 2 million yuan)

【Note 1: During the period when the Endurance Fruit is effective, strengthening exercise, adjusting daily routine, and reducing performance squandering can better exert the effect of the fruit.】

【Whispers of Human Nature】: When the player encounters a matching scene and object, the prop will automatically trigger, generating a special event instance. Completing the instance will help the player better understand human nature, Charm +1. (Price: 20 million yuan)

After reading the product introduction, intense joy erupted in Tang Song's eyes.

It seemed that the completion degree of his challenge task was very high, and the two items refreshed were very much to his liking.

Nowadays, what he was most urgently lacking was performance.

It was really because the 30-year-old big sister was too powerful and was also a fitness expert.

The beautician was also a young and vigorous player and had mastered the divine skill of 【Silver-Tongued】.

And there was also the little assistant Seeing Xiao Xue who could turn into water at any time, and he had to watch her draw maps from time to time.

The 【Performance Fruit】 came just in time!

Besides performance, he also hoped to improve his charm as soon as possible to unlock more permissions and assets.

He had obtained 【Whispers of Human Nature】 once before when his Xiaohongshu fans exceeded 10,000, and he used it on Lin Mu Xue. After clearing the instance, his Charm +1 directly; it was a divine artifact.

The price of 20 million yuan was also within his expectations.

He entered the personal center.

【Balance: 513,000 yuan (Investment capital 195 million yuan)】

Looking at the pitiful balance, Tang Song opened the title 【The Popular Me】 to view the details.

【Current cash reward: 2,212,100 yuan (Total 24,012,100 yuan)】

Xiaohongshu fan count: 19,855.

Douyin fan count: 206,311.

It had been almost 10 days since the last withdrawal, and he had updated a few videos intermittently in between.

Although he wasn't very diligent, his Douyin fans had grown by almost 20,000, while Xiaohongshu only had 2,000 more.

Looking at the 【Whispers of Human Nature】 priced at 20 million.

Tang Song sighed; he still had to work hard to make money and make videos carefully next.

Or see if he could trigger tasks with additional cash rewards; if not, he could probably only buy it after the 【Second Stage Growth Plan Task】 was completed.

However, he wasn't in a hurry for this prop; after all, even if he used it, he didn't know when it would trigger.

He clicked withdraw.

【Balance: 2.725 million yuan (Investment capital 195 million yuan)】

He returned to the mall, selected the item, and bought it immediately.

"Ding! You have obtained the special item 【Performance Fruit】."

【Balance: 725,000 yuan (Investment capital 195 million yuan)】

He entered the warehouse.

A fruit flickering with green light was lying there quietly.

Just as he was about to click use.

Tang Song's gaze looked at the 【Reinforcement Crystal】 flickering with white light next to it.

This was a magical prop that could combine and reinforce related special items.

Habitually, he long-pressed 【Reinforcement Crystal】.

Immediately after, the items that could be combined popped up.

(【Tang Song's Baseball Cap】 X 【Tang Song's Glasses】)

(【Learning Card】 X 【Tang Song's Mask】)

(【Scene Instance Generation Card】 X 【Learning Card】 X 【Performance Fruit】 X 【Tang Song's Mask】)

Looking at the combination consisting of 4 props at the bottom, Tang Song's eyes instantly brightened.

He had used 【Reinforcement Crystal】 many times in the game and roughly knew a pattern.

The more items combined, the more magical and precious the new item generated would be.

According to a simple inference, the new item combined from these 4 props would likely also involve "scene instances," and should be related to "school" and "learning."

After pondering for a moment, Tang Song still decided to give it a try. ===== CHAPTER 305 =====
