Huh? Isn't This A Galgame?

On the bottom of each box, the price was written in gold lettering—

58.88 million Gold Coins, 18.88 million Gold Coins, 6.88 million Gold Coins, 1.88 million Gold Coins, 880,000 Gold Coins.

The stock in the primary and intermediate game lobbies' public centers is shared.

Wen Nan was already very familiar with this row of samples before him. Originally, there was also one for 680,000 Gold Coins, which he had bought.

Unexpectedly, such a long time had passed, and the public center here hadn't sold a single private domain?

The new players this year aren't up to par. They have no dreams and are all trying to squeeze into the big guilds. Not a single one is trying to "start a business" on their own?

Wen Nan shook his head.

The NPC, seeing this, thought he was dissatisfied with the products in front of him and immediately said, "If there's nothing to your liking, we also have hidden options."

Wen Nan was taken aback.

Hmm? It turns out there are hidden options?

As he was thinking, the NPC clerk already turned to get new samples from inside.

Unlike the NPC clerks with sour faces in the trial/primary map game lobbies, the clerks here weren't as passionate as those in player-run shops, but his attitude towards Wen Nan was noticeably better than other NPC clerks.

This is likely because the clerk recognized Wen Nan—after Wen Nan last came here, it was this clerk who helped open the guild office's teleporter.

The newly presented "hidden options" were obviously more rundown than the model homes shown the first time—some had missing windows, others had peeling walls, and some had a big hole in the roof...

On these boxes labeled "imperfect items," crimson letters screamed [Huge Bargain! Fracture Prices! First Come, First Served!]

Looking further, there were prices—8.88 million Gold Coins, 6.88 million Gold Coins, 4.88 million Gold Coins, 3.88 million Gold Coins, 1.88 million Gold Coins.

Wen Nan surveyed them and finally raised his hand to point at the one priced at 3.88 million Gold Coins: "I'll take this one!"

"Are you sure about this?" The clerk looked at Wen Nan with indescribable expression.

The one Wen Nan chose was the worst in this batch of "hidden options," not even "dilapidated" could describe it. From the sample, the house was nothing more than two rows of broken walls, spending 3.88 million on such a house was effectively buying a barren plot of land.

The land's area was quite large, nearly 20% larger than the mansion in a standard private domain priced at 58.88 million Gold Coins.

However, just having a large piece of land was useless in a game lobby.

"Mr. Ye, there's no construction team in the game lobby, nor any renovation services. Anything you purchase in the instance map, like furniture or mobile homes, cannot be brought here."

The clerk kindly reminded, implying that just buying a piece of land makes it very difficult for a player to build a house themselves.

But the man opposite was insistent, waving his hand: "It's fine, as long as it's big enough, nothing else matters."

The clerk couldn't understand, attributing this to the strange competitive urge among male human players regarding size and dimension.

Though he didn't understand, a business was a business, and he had no reason to refuse, especially since this was a long-rusted piece of stagnant "old stock." The clerk enthusiastically proceeded with the purchase and handed over the property at lightning speed.

Wen Nan was lucky because this newly acquired property was only a narrow alley away from their guild's original "Benxixi"-style mini-villa.

To express gratitude for Wen Nan's "visionary eye and amazing courage" in acquiring that hidden option, the public center's clerk, with a waive and after consulting superiors, directly gave the narrow alley between the two properties, barely wide enough for a dog, for free to the [Wenna] Guild.

Feeling somewhat embarrassed, Wen Nan accepted this small alley, returned to the second-floor attic, and shared the news of the newly acquired house with Yu Shouling.

From the attic window, Yu Shouling looked out at the next-door desolate plot, so moved he was nearly tearfully joyful, "Can I borrow it to build a villa?"

"Build it! Whatever you like!" Wen Nan waved his hand, agreeing to the request.

Yu Shouling was overjoyed, wanting to hug Wen Nan, but the countdown in Wen Nan's mind entered the final second at that moment.

Before his eyes fell into darkness, Wen Nan saw a little white rabbit at his feet kicking, trying hard to jump into his arms. He raised his hand and caught the rabbit, then his body started spinning fast, falling...

At the moment the sense of weightlessness ended.

"Click!"

Wen Nan shuddered all over, nearly falling off the stool.

Laughter rang out around him.

Did he enter the instance refresh point? What was that sound? Who was laughing? Did other players arrive so quickly?

Wen Nan raised his head from his hands and looked around. His previously blurry vision gradually became clear.

This seemed to be... a large lecture hall in a school?

The desks in the classroom were a bit old, with some peeling wall parts, and outside, the "chirping" of birds and sunrise cast slanting light into the classroom, forming a clear Tyndall effect.

Judging from the sunrise outside, it should be a little past eight in the morning here.

Wen Nan sat in the corner of the back row. Just now, he was lying on the desk in a standard sleeping pose.

Sitting up now, Wen Nan realized that the laughter came from the front row.

The two girls sitting at a diagonal in front of him, startled by his sudden awakening, turned to look at him. Seeing his sleepy face with a tuft of hair sticking up, they couldn't help but cover their mouths, chuckling.

Wen Nan looked back at them, and they quickly averted their gaze, looking down at their textbooks.

...Girls? Female players? Male-to-female players?

Is the ratio of male-to-female this high in this game?

Wen Nan squinted puzzledly, observing his surroundings again—a lecture hall that could accommodate about two hundred people.

Scattered around were more than twenty people, all dressed in typical student attire, looking somewhat rustic.

Are all these players assigned to this map? Are there that many participants in this instance? With half of them being male-to-female?

Just as he was thinking, Wen Nan's gaze inadvertently collided with that of the person standing at the podium directly in front of him.

A young woman in a white shirt with an over-the-knee pencil skirt.

Since Wen Nan had sat up and glanced around, she had been staring intently at him.

At this moment, their eyes finally met, and the woman said coldly, "Ye, finally awake?"

The students in attendance snickered again.

Wen Nan was bewildered.

"Quiet, no more laughing," the woman rapped the blackboard, looking at Wen Nan, "Come up here and complete this tricarboxylic acid cycle diagram."

Wen Nan: ?

The woman's brow furrowed, "I'm talking to you, Ye Jiu, come up."

Instinctively, Wen Nan moved to get up, pressing his hands against the desk as he began to rise, a strange sensation rose between his legs.

Looking down in confusion, he saw that where the fluffy white bunny was crouching between his legs, there was now... a strange woman's head?!
