#306 - Melissa's subordinates appear, and the game unfolds (2 in 1 order required)
"That sounds like something you would say."
Isn't the metaverse just the ultimate romance for a geek?
[Tao Xueran's killing intent decreases by 5 points, and her love increases by 5 points]
...
The two of them strolled around casually again.
"I bought too much rice cake, I can't eat anymore..."
Tao Xueran held the rice cake, feeling a little embarrassed.
The next second, Wang Fanqie(王番茄: Wang Fanqie, the character's name) leaned his face over and took a bite.
He said regretfully: "It's a pity that VR can't simulate the taste of food."
Chat: "Goodness, indirect kiss, the streamer is playing rogue."
Wang Fanqie(王番茄: Wang Fanqie, the character's name) said to her: "I don't want to waste food, don't mind."
"Um, it's okay, thank you~"
Wang Fanqie(王番茄: Wang Fanqie, the character's name) said in the live broadcast room: "Look, she even has to say thank you."
Chat: "Hahahaha."
Continuing to walk, Wang Fanqie(王番茄: Wang Fanqie, the character's name) said:
"By the way, you said before that Melissa's subordinates have also come to this era, will it bring any trouble?"
"If enemies really come here, I can handle it. But... you may not be."
Tao Xueran's(陶雪然: Tao Xueran, the character's name) bright eyes scrutinized him.
"So, for your safety, I may take some measures against you at that time, but please don't be afraid, my starting point is good..."
Wang Fanqie(王番茄: Wang Fanqie, the character's name) remembered the mechanical tentacles and felt a chill down his back.
"Although your starting point is good, I suggest you don't depart."
...
At this time, Wang Fanqie(王番茄: Wang Fanqie, the character's name) saw a petite figure sticking her head out at a street corner not far away.
About seven or eight years old, the little girl had bright eyes and two pigtails bouncing behind her ears.
"Slurp slurp..."
She was wiping the saliva from the corner of her mouth and gently rubbing her belly with her hand.
He vaguely heard her say:
"Rice cake...sugar gourd...damn it, human food looks so delicious."
The little loli's gaze turned to Tao Xueran(陶雪然: Tao Xueran, the character's name), and digital patterns that constantly zoomed appeared in her pupils.
"The last remnant of the human resistance front, Special Forces Corporal number 6958, Tao Xueran(陶雪然: Tao Xueran, the character's name)..."
The little girl spread out her palm, and in her palm, blue glowing circuits were distributed like blood vessels.
Lying on her palm was a wasp that had been evenly cut in half from the middle, exposing tiny metal parts.
"Very vigilant, that 'wasp' before was a greeting gift."
Her gaze turned to Wang Fanqie(王番茄: Wang Fanqie, the character's name).
The pigtails seemed to have a life of their own, changing with her emotions, just now they were as straight as swords, but after seeing Wang Fanqie(王番茄: Wang Fanqie, the character's name) they immediately became as soft as silk.
"Ah~~~ Finally met a living Holy Father. Tao Xueran(陶雪然: Tao Xueran, the character's name), I won't let you harm the Holy Father, I will protect him to the last moment."
In the blink of an eye, she disappeared from the street corner, leaving only ripples of air vibrating.
Wang Fanqie(王番茄: Wang Fanqie, the character's name) was dumbfounded: "Brothers, did you see that just now, wow, what's the background of that little loli."
Chat:
"I don't know, she seems to have said something about the Holy Father?"
"Is it because the streamer is the creator of the metaverse in the plot setting, so he is called that?"
...
Game time came to Monday, Wang Fanqie(王番茄: Wang Fanqie, the character's name) took the mechanical eyeball to Taoyuan Township(桃源乡: Taoyuan Township, a company name) in the game.
He found an NPC named Chu Xiong(楚雄: Chu Xiong, a character's name) in the Engine Technology Department.
This was a fat man sitting in a corner workstation.
Round cheeks, double chin, naturally curly black hair and small grape-like eyes.
His fat hands were frantically dancing on the keyboard, and on the computer screen, D station UP master Yao Renmao(咬人猫: Yao Renmao, a streamer's name) was dancing house dance.
"Hey, how to solve the rendering problem of this silk stocking."
The Taoyuan Township(桃源乡: Taoyuan Township, a company name) employee next to him suggested:
"It's useless to just watch house dance videos, why don't we go to the art department to see the legs of the girls and get some inspiration?"
Chu Xiong(楚雄: Chu Xiong, a character's name) said unhappily: "The art girls all wear lo skirts and Hanfu, if you can get a pair of silk stockings and let them put them on on the spot, I will treat you to a year of crazy Thursday for free."
Everyone frowned: "Damn, they are all social phobias and single dogs, what should we do."
The chat laughed: "Hahahaha, is this the daily life of Taoyuan Township(桃源乡: Taoyuan Township, a company name)?"
Wang Fanqie(王番茄: Wang Fanqie, the character's name) walked over, took the mouse, and started to pretend in public:
"The silk stocking luster of the female character is indeed unnatural, the saturation is a bit too high, the silk stocking should be a little more see-through, and you have to think about the thickness first, for example, 50D is slightly see-through, 120D is not see-through..."
Under his suggestion, the silk stocking's look and feel improved a lot soon.
Chu Xiong(楚雄: Chu Xiong, a character's name) was stunned: "How do you know so much?"
Wang Fanqie(王番茄: Wang Fanqie, the character's name) smiled and said: "Recently, there is a new girl at home, just using nearby materials."
Colleagues cast sour glances at Wang Fanqie(王番茄: Wang Fanqie, the character's name).
I give full marks for this pretense!
When getting off work in the evening, Chu Xiong(楚雄: Chu Xiong, a character's name) handed the repaired camera to Wang Fanqie(王番茄: Wang Fanqie, the character's name).
"This thing...how did you get it, I can't even figure out its technical route, are you sure it's not alien technology?"
"Are you kidding?" Wang Fanqie(王番茄: Wang Fanqie, the character's name) was shocked.
"Try turning it on quietly when you get home, and you will know that I'm not kidding you."
...
Going home from get off work with trepidation, Wang Fanqie(王番茄: Wang Fanqie, the character's name) put the eyeball on the table and decided to have it out with her.
The bathroom door was pushed open, and Tao Xueran(陶雪然: Tao Xueran, the character's name) came out of it steaming hot, wearing a bath towel.
Having just taken a bath, her face was flushed, her eyes were seductive, and her long hair clung to her cheeks, like a lotus emerging from water.
Wang Fanqie(王番茄: Wang Fanqie, the character's name) was thinking about how to organize his words, but Tao Xueran(陶雪然: Tao Xueran, the character's name) spoke first:
"This is my thing, the mechanical prosthetic limb you saw outside the window is also my combat equipment."
Tao Xueran(陶雪然: Tao Xueran, the character's name) sat on the sofa, picked up the parts, her crossed legs were as white as congealed fat, and her white legs reflected a delicate luster.
"Sorry, I didn't want to hide it from you, I wanted to confess to you after the prosthetic limb was completely repaired. I didn't expect that it has caused so much trouble in the community in the past few days..."
After saying helplessly, Tao Xueran(陶雪然: Tao Xueran, the character's name) raised her hand and snapped her fingers.
Crack crack crack...
The mechanical tentacles appeared again outside the window of the living room.
It twisted nimbly, and the spherical joints showed powerful telescopic properties.
"This is our resistance front's special equipment 'Deep Sea Hunter',
When the time machine crashed, it was also damaged. In the past few days, I have been repairing it while letting it be on guard nearby."
Tao Xueran(陶雪然: Tao Xueran, the character's name) changed her gestures, letting it approach the window.
"So, the strange things in the community were all done by this thing?"
Wang Fanqie(王番茄: Wang Fanqie, the character's name) looked at the Deep Sea Hunter with a wry smile. The middle tentacle was missing an eye because Wang Fanqie(王番茄: Wang Fanqie, the character's name) knocked it off with a mop.
Because of this, the Deep Sea Hunter instinctively wanted to shrink back when it saw Wang Fanqie(王番茄: Wang Fanqie, the character's name).
"I keep it on patrol as a precaution, Melissa's subordinates are likely to be nearby..."
She was halfway through her words when suddenly there was a faint noise outside the window.
She walked to the window and looked at the opposite side of the road, her pupils contracted:
"The enemy is on the other side of the road."
...
At this time, a short figure clumsily leaned against the wall, two small pigtails moving nervously, and the digital texture of the pupils constantly changing focal length.
It was the little loli who had appeared in the market before.
At this time, passers-by occasionally passed by, but no one paid much attention to her.
"Heh, Tao Xueran(陶雪然: Tao Xueran, the character's name), I admit that your anti-reconnaissance skills are very strong, but if I do this, how will you deal with it?"
She raised her small hand slightly, and red light bloomed from her fingertips.
Crack crack crack...
In Wang Fanqie's(王番茄: Wang Fanqie, the character's name) living room, the Deep Sea Hunter suddenly began to tremble violently!
Tao Xueran(陶雪然: Tao Xueran, the character's name) tried to stabilize the Deep Sea Hunter with various remote control gestures, but it was useless, and the octopus's twisting became more and more ghostly.
"Didn't you say you fixed this thing?"
Wang Fanqie(王番茄: Wang Fanqie, the character's name) was hesitating whether to go to the bathroom to get a mop.
"...You step back first, I suspect someone is remotely hacking."
Tao Xueran(陶雪然: Tao Xueran, the character's name) put her hand on the hilt of the laser sword, making a combat-ready posture.
The night wind blowing in from the window made her robe flutter, her eyes were stern, her long hair fluttered, and she was full of heroic spirit.
At the neckline of the bathrobe, the occasional glimpse of spring added a bit of sexiness to her.
Wang Fanqie's(王番茄: Wang Fanqie, the character's name) old face turned red: "My cyber wife is getting more and more attractive."
"Woof, woof, woof!"
The husky's fur stood on end, its ears moved vigilantly from side to side, and its wise eyes stared at the Deep Sea Hunter.
Suddenly, the blue lights of all eight tentacle cameras turned crimson, and a mechanical voice without emotion sounded:
"Beep beep beep beep beep...Mode switching complete, starting to plunder instructions now."
Swish!
Eight mechanical tentacles came out together, pouncing towards Wang Fanqie's(王番茄: Wang Fanqie, the character's name) direction, and a violent air wave hit his face.
"Damn!"
Wang Fanqie(王番茄: Wang Fanqie, the character's name) rolled to the left, barely dodging like a loach at the moment the tentacle touched his shoulder.
Tao Xueran(陶雪然: Tao Xueran, the character's name) pulled out the laser sword.
Buzz--
After a heavy muffled sound, a white beam burst out from the hilt.
This was the first time Wang Fanqie(王番茄: Wang Fanqie, the character's name) had seen her use a laser sword: "Brothers, this heroic posture is comparable to a Jedi Knight in Star Wars."
Wang Fanqie(王番茄: Wang Fanqie, the character's name) and the husky squatted aside, with admiring eyes.
The chat screen was full of comments: "Awesome!"
However, she stood there for less than three seconds, and the laser sword made a sizzling noise.
The originally very firm laser beam suddenly became thinner and weaker, like an eggplant beaten by frost.
"Eh? What's going on?!"
Tao Xueran(陶雪然: Tao Xueran, the character's name) shook her arm in a panic, and the laser sword became firm again for less than a second before withering again.
Crackling...
Intermittent sparks appeared from the hilt, looking like the energy output was not smooth.
"Could it be that it was broken when the time machine crashed..."
The eyes of Wang Fanqie(王番茄: Wang Fanqie, the character's name) and the husky lost their highlights.
He recalled that Tao Xueran(陶雪然: Tao Xueran, the character's name) had accidentally injured himself when using the hypnosis egg before, how should I put it...this is her normal performance, right?
Seeing that she couldn't be counted on, Wang Fanqie(王番茄: Wang Fanqie, the character's name) shouted in the live broadcast room:
"Brothers, don't panic, don't forget how many action games I've played!"
He gritted his teeth, jumped up from the spot, and ran wildly towards the bathroom.
The latest novel is first published at 69 books!
Seeing the prey act, the Deep Sea Hunter ignored Tao Xueran(陶雪然: Tao Xueran, the character's name) and the husky, and eight tentacles pounced towards Wang Fanqie(王番茄: Wang Fanqie, the character's name).
Thump!
Because the bathroom door was too narrow, eight tentacles squeezed at the door at the same time, none of them giving way, directly blocking it.
Wang Fanqie(王番茄: Wang Fanqie, the character's name) breathed a sigh of relief:
"It is said that pets' IQs follow their owners, it seems that the IQ of this weapon is the same."
The chat went crazy: "Hahahaha, straight man's speech."
He picked up the mop and slammed it down at the most central core of the Deep Sea Hunter.
The other party seemed to have a psychological shadow on the mop, and the camera turned around randomly as if to escape, and Wang Fanqie(王番茄: Wang Fanqie, the character's name) took advantage of the victory to pursue.
Sizzle sizzle...
The Deep Sea Hunter was beaten dizzy, spit out a circle of black smoke, and then fell to the ground completely.
Wang Fanqie(王番茄: Wang Fanqie, the character's name) breathed a sigh of relief: "At the critical moment, it still depends on the mop, it's simply a magic weapon!"
...
Tao Xueran(陶雪然: Tao Xueran, the character's name) glanced at the messy living room.
The Deep Sea Hunter emitting black smoke was lying on the spot twitching, and the striking laser sword was constantly spitting out sparks.
"I have spent half a month repairing them, but none of them are useful."
She bit her lip lightly, picked up the laser sword in disappointment, and shook it casually.
Buzz--
A deafening sound rang out, the beam burst out, and the momentum was like a rainbow!
Wang Fanqie(王番茄: Wang Fanqie, the character's name) was dumbfounded:
"Damn, it breaks down when you need it, and it's so strong when you don't need it, what the hell is this sword."
Tao Xueran(陶雪然: Tao Xueran, the character's name) looked flustered, she desperately pressed the switch on the hilt, trying to turn it off, but the laser beam was still expanding.
"Mr. Wang Fanqie(王番茄: Wang Fanqie, the character's name), there is something wrong with this sword, the blocked energy just became smooth, the power that has been holding back needs to be released, it is overloaded."
In order to avoid the house being destroyed, she aimed the beam at the wide void.
Bang!
With a loud noise, the void exploded, and Tao Xueran(陶雪然: Tao Xueran, the character's name) was directly blown away by the reaction force, and her body smashed towards the study.
"Damn, wife!!!"
Wang Fanqie(王番茄: Wang Fanqie, the character's name) shot out almost instinctively, hugging the girl in his arms.
The two directly hit the display cabinet in the study, and various figures fell down, hitting him on the back.
After a while, the scene was quiet again.
The husky anxiously circled around Wang Fanqie(王番茄: Wang Fanqie, the character's name) and Tao Xueran(陶雪然: Tao Xueran, the character's name), barking non-stop.
Tao Xueran(陶雪然: Tao Xueran, the character's name) pushed away the figures buried on her body, turned her head and saw that Wang Fanqie's(王番茄: Wang Fanqie, the character's name) forehead had been scratched, and traces of blood were oozing out.
"Mr. Wang, Wang Fanqie(王番茄: Wang Fanqie, the character's name), you...you are injured!"
The calmness of the special forces was no longer on her face, her eyes were shining with tears, and her slender fingers scratched his shirt randomly, and then began to look around for gauze.
"Hiss...calm down, Miss Tao, it's just a skin trauma."
Wang Fanqie(王番茄: Wang Fanqie, the character's name) frowned and rubbed his head, trying to appease her emotions.
Damn, this VR game even simulates pain.
"Sorry, I...I didn't want to put you in danger."
Wang Fanqie(王番茄: Wang Fanqie, the character's name) took the opportunity to pretend:
"No matter what the situation, it doesn't matter, I will take action."
[Tao Xueran's(陶雪然: Tao Xueran, the character's name) love increases by 3 points]
The chat laughed: "Damn, the streamer got to pretend again."
Wang Fanqie(王番茄: Wang Fanqie, the character's name) came to the balcony and found a vague loli figure in the distance.
She stomped her feet, left a sentence, and disappeared:
"Annoying woman, you almost hurt the Holy Father. But you won't have such good luck next time, I, the servant of Lord Melissa, will not let you go."
The chat was shocked:
"What? Is the heroine really from the future?"
"So, Melissa's subordinates are really here to sabotage the heroine's plan? Even though she's such a cute loli."
"Damn, I thought this was just a run-of-the-mill dating game, but it's unfolding in such an epic way!"
...
Game time arrived on the weekend, and Tao Xueran was slightly relieved after confirming that the other party had temporarily retreated.
Wang Fanqie was pondering how to use the cooking function to further increase the girl's affection.
Suddenly, the news on TV broadcasted:
"Jianghai City Evening News reports that today, multi-departmental investigations into the mysterious sounds at Misty Hidden Mountain have entered a new phase. Currently, the investigation team has preliminarily ruled out the possibility of a man-made event and is investigating the possibility of a fallen meteorite."
"Today, excavators have entered the site for operation. According to astronomers, new investigation results are expected soon."
On the TV screen, Misty Hidden Mountain had been dug up and was full of holes.
A strange look of nervousness appeared on Tao Xueran's face.
Wang Fanqie: "Isn't that where your time machine crashed?"
Tao Xueran nodded, her eyes still glued to the TV.
"How deep did you bury the time machine?"
"Don't worry, I'm very confident in my physical abilities. I spent the whole night just digging the hole. It probably won't be found."
Wang Fanqie nodded: "You're right about that. Putting aside the intelligence issues, your superhuman strength is genuine."
Tao Xueran pursed her lips: "It's very rude to evaluate a girl like that."
"Seriously? I can't even say you're strong? Special forces miss is really strict."
Tao Xueran gently touched her cheek:
"It's strange, if it were before, I wouldn't have particularly cared about your teasing, but now, I care a lot. This subtle change in my heart is making me a little confused..."
Comment section: "You're falling in love, girl!"
After dinner, Tao Xueran scratched the husky's chin while drawing something in a notebook.
"What are you doing?" Wang Fanqie sat familiarly beside her.
"I'm drawing a layout map of Peach Blossom Spring Company's park.
The recent attack shows that Melissa's claws have targeted us. The mission is urgent. If it's necessary to infiltrate Peach Blossom Spring Company and sabotage the development equipment, this map will be useful."
"I advise you not to do that. There are cameras everywhere now. You'll end up in jail."
Tao Xueran curled up on the sofa, her toes shrinking:
"Since you believe I'm from the future, it's not good to keep bothering you by staying here. I... I should leave."
Seeing that his 'wife' was about to run away, Wang Fanqie adjusted his glasses, not panicking at all: "You're penniless now, and you don't know how to do anything. Where are you going to go?"
"...There's always a way to support myself."
Her voice was getting smaller and smaller.
Wang Fanqie smiled:
"There are no outsiders here. Even if some neighbors see you at home every day and not going to work, let them gossip."
Tao Xueran was silent.
Wang Fanqie continued to coax her:
"And... how should I put it? As the executor of the Savior Plan, you have to continue living here to supervise me, right?
Anyway...
"We're living together for the future of humanity. It's all above board. I'm a gentleman, and I won't do anything to you."
The girl was silent for a moment: "Okay then, I'll continue to stay for now."
Comment section:
"Damn, the streamer's flirting skills are getting better and better."
"Can playing this game really improve your dating skills?"
...
After that, the game started playing a cutscene.
That night.
The silent bedroom only had the faint echo of the ticking clock in the air.
Moonlight shone through the half-open curtains, casting on Tao Xueran, making her face appear pale and clear.
She had insomnia.
She didn't know why, but as the days of living in Wang Fanqie's house grew longer, she had fewer and fewer nightmares.
Moreover, she really liked going for walks with Wang Fanqie in the park in the neighborhood, enjoying the sunset and the breeze.
That feeling of peace and warmth made her feel at ease, something she had never enjoyed during her brutal special forces career.
Tao Xueran raised her fair wrist and looked at the blue light screen of her wristband:
[Worldline Variation Rate: 0.0126%]
When she first arrived in 2013, this value was still 0.
Her pupils reflected the constantly jumping progress bar, and her mood was complicated.
This was a good start, proving that her actions were affecting the future, and the "Savior Plan" was making progress.
However, if the future is completely changed, what will be the final fate of her, a person from the future?
