Hope Coffee House - chapter 40

Gao Qi was dead, Wu Liang’s thoughts turned around and he returned to the Hope Cafe.

The system prompt sounded in Wu Liang’s ear almost simultaneously.

“The additional task has been completed, and the task reward has arrived.”

“Congratulations to the host for completing the novice trial task and the task is being scored.”

“Scoring completed. Host Wu Liang, novice trial task score: 77 points.”

Novice trial task? 77 points?

Wu Liang was a little puzzled and asked the system directly, “What is the novice trial task?

I completed a task and the additional tasks. Oh, there were three hidden tasks.”

“The novice trial task was for the first timers who binded as host to the hope coffee shop system, a test-type task, if the host can score 60 points or more in this novice trail task, if he failed the test then the coffee will automatically untie from the host body.”

so, the first task of the system turned out to be a test of the system.

But this test was too difficult! And he had done a very good job. Why did he only score 77 points?

Wu Liang rolled his eyes in dissatisfaction. The system seemed to read Wu Liang’s thoughts directly, and the prompt sounded again.

“Details of host deductions:

1. Compared with Gao Qi’s method of killing Han Xu, Ding Anming, and Sun Lihui, Gao Qi’s method of killing Chen Wei was much inferior, but the host did not find out about it, nor did he go into that matter. 10 points deducted.

2. The host has clearly noticed some clues of the people behind Gao Qi, but he has not continued to investigate their behavior, deducting 10 points here.

3. After Gao Qi committed suicide, the host did not Dealt with Gao Qi’s body, there will be a deduction of 3 points here.”

When he heard the system’s rational and deduction breakdown of points, Wu Liang was speechless.

“System Message: Host needs slightly strong purpose, the coffee shop hopes that the host continues to improve in the future, even after completion of the task, host must be eagle-eyed”

” Wu Liang could not help but roll his eyes.”

“Was this task not purposeful enough? If I had a stronger purpose, what would I do? Would I use the stealth card to sneak directly into Gao Qi’s house and kill her. How much effort do I need to put in while doing these tasks?”

“If the host uses system props to resort to violence in order to complete additional tasks, the host will be immediately unbound by the system.” The system prompted again.

“Wu Liang didn’t want to say anything. He just flipped the panel of the system in his mind and checked his current situation.

Hope Cafe’s seventh owner: Wu Liang

health: 56 days without illness and injury + 16 days of gory prolonged

quests: none

supplies at the moment:

truth card 1

trust card 1

hope coin: 2095

mall: partially unlocked

Wu Liang soon noticed a problem which he had neglected before.

“I am the seventh owner of the Hope Cafe.”

The reward given by the coffee house was 30 days without disease and injury. In theory, as long as the task released by the system gets completed, you can get eternal life.

With such good conditions, why did the first six owners of the coffee shop become “former owners”?

This time, the system did not actively answer the question that Wu Liang thought of.

So, Wu Liang simply asked, “System, where did the first six owners of the coffee shop go?”

“Dead.”

“Hmm? All died? How did they die?” Wu Liang asked in surprise.

“The host has insufficient rights and need not to know of those matters”.

No right to know? Could it be that his six predecessors were all killed? What bigger conspiracy was even involved in this?

Wu Liang frowned, felt bad in his heart.

He was in a different world, and there was not much time left for him, and he can only rely on the system to change his destiny.

Since it was impossible to change his status quo, he took this opportunity to fight for some benefits for himself.

“System, you don’t want to say how my six predecessors disappear, and I won’t beg you, but you can also see that the novice trial task you gave me was really difficult for me, I almost died. It was a non-stop investigation for 5 days before I completed this task, but only got 77 points. “

“Will you give me a little easier task next time for completing such a difficult task? “Wu Liang rubbed his hands and laughed.

“The novice trail test is an easiest task with a difficulty score of just 3 points, the typical difficulty type task has ratings ranging from 6-10 points” The system faintly replied.

“What? Is this task the easiest? The official mission would be at least twice as difficult as this one?”

Wu Liang almost spit out blood.

Was this not too difficult? What task can be so more difficult than this?

“In the novice trial task, behind the scenes, the black hand Gao Qi carried three lives on her back! And we couldn’t find any evidence to bring her to justice. So we made her take the initiative to commit suicide. I tried but can’t think what mission can be twice as difficult as this? Is it going to be me going head-to-head with serial murderers?” Wu Liang protested with dissatisfaction.

“The novice trial task is to familiarize the host with the system and investigate the host’s behavior and his way of doing things. Therefore, there was no restriction on the purchase and use of materials in the mall. The formal tasks will restrict the use of materials in the mall according to the actual situation” The system was not too salty.

what? Even the formal tasks have restrictions with the use of materials?

Wu Liang recalled his novice trial task. He assessed various possibilities of how this task could be solved with just a limited number of truth cards and trust cards.

Wu Liang rolled his eyes again because that would just make the task more difficult.

“System, let’s make a consultation. For the next task, you will first send me a task of difficulty score 3, and then arrange some more usable materials for me. That way, this newbie will adapt to these tasks a little bit! Wu Liang said flatly.

“System? Why didn’t you speak?”

“System? Are you dead?”

“4 points, is 4 points okay?”

“5 points? Can’t be higher than that!”

“6 points, is that the difficulty of the next official task? You have given me a 6-point mission, right? “

“System? Anyway, you are going to assign me a mission with a degree of difficulty? You don’t want to speak, I’m completely at a loss! ” “

In the coffee house, Wu Liang paced back and forth alone and continued to talk in the air.

At that moment, there was a sound and the door opened.

Someone entered the shop.

A beautiful young girl came in.

Although the girl’s brows were closed and her eyes were swollen like walnuts, she still could not hide her beauty.

“Basic task: help Wang Zhaozhao regain hope. (Hope value should rise above 60%)”

Wang Zhaozhao’s current status:

Hope value: -94%

Mission limit: 5 incognito cards and 5 trust cards.

Mission reward: 30 days free of illness and injury.

Wu Liang was relieved.

Wang Zhaozhao’s hope value was not particularly low. Wu Liang remembered that Chen Wei’s hope value when he first entered the Hope Coffee Shop was -96%. Wang Zhaozhao’s situation was better than that of Chen Wei.

And the truth card that he used very frequently before, was now limited.

This task should be much easier to complete.

Wu Liang showed a warm smile, looked at Wang Zhaozhao and asked warmly, “Hello, what do you want to have?”

Wang Zhaozhao did not answer, but just looked at Wu Liang blankly, she seemed a little confused.

Wu Liang opened a chair and let Wang Zhaozhao sit first. Then he quickly went to the counter to make a warm sea salt caramel mocha.

“First warm up yourself with a cup of coffee.” Wu Liang placed the prepared sea salt caramel mocha on the table in front of Wang Zhaozhao.

Wang Zhaozhao looked at the coffee in front of her in confusion, then glanced at Wu Liang again. It took a while before she picked up the coffee and took a sip.

Subsequently, Wang Zhaozhao swallowed the coffee in the cup.

The value of thanks from Wang Zhaozhao: +5, +5, +5, and within two minutes, Wu Liang ’s hope coins increased to 2,595, and Wang Zhaozhao’s hope value also rose to -90%.

Sure enough, it was an easy target.

Wu Liang smirked in his heart and asked Wang Zhaozhao with a gentle smile, “You seemed sad as you just entered through the door. Is something wrong? This is a Hope Cafe, maybe I can help you.”

Wang Zhaozhao nodded and whispered, “I feel hopeless about this world.”
