In this cyberpunk era, why are you still playing the traditional villain?

Xu Shi nodded. It sounds complicated, but it's easy to understand.

Is this a way of using technology to forcibly elevate one's abilities to a level of aura?

He was pleasantly surprised. On the one hand, he had been longing for such a halo for a long time, and on the other hand, he admired Jiang Chengcheng for actually being able to create it. He thought, "My little tech geek is amazing."

"According to the model simulation results, this range can extend to about ten to fifteen meters. The effect is lower towards the edge... Of course, this is related to your own situation, and the value may not be limited."

"And, considering your weak close-combat skills, I've also designed a few mechanisms. Look, this is where several specially made small armor-piercing rounds are stored. The part in the middle with the embedded ore is used to activate the anti-gravity shield. It can probably be used dozens of times. Just replace the 'Rust Mist' ore regularly..."

"...Okay, that's thoughtful of you."

Xu Shi nodded slightly. He had to admit that Jiang Chengcheng's consideration was indeed thorough. All three problems were solved at once, and Kinder Surprise Eggs were finally ready.

"Would you like to try it and see how it goes?"

"Okay."

Xu Shi did not object, took out his cane, and grasped the snake's head.

He also had a bit to complain: wire-rimmed glasses, a walking stick, and a white suit—now he looked like a complete scoundrel…

However, the feeling after activating the weapon instantly attracted all his attention—only the person involved truly knew the specifics. As soon as the connection was successful, he felt his mental strength was instantly boosted by a large margin.

To draw an analogy, if it used to be a stream, it is now a lake.

And when he tried to activate his ability, he could clearly feel the difference.

In the past, when I used "malicious entropy increase" on someone, it felt like giving them an injection? Like pinpointing the target and injecting precisely...

But now, the ability coefficient is tilted towards this staff and then emitted, which consumes more energy than before, but it does achieve the aura effect.

Thinking about it carefully, he was somewhat relieved. Fortunately, he had improved his abilities considerably during this period by "completing the closed loop." If he had only been at the initial A- level, it would have been a bit more difficult...

This is good stuff.

On second thought, this is a significant step in combining technology and superpowers. Compared to general-purpose chips and potions, specialized weapons are obviously much harder to achieve, and I am fortunate to be the first person to experience it.

While he was thinking, he also silently gave the walking stick a name.

"Yujing"

“How do you feel?”

Jiang Chengcheng asked from the side, as she was also looking forward to Xu Shi's user feedback.

"very nice."

Xu Shi was generous with his praise.

"That's good."

Jiang Chengcheng breathed a sigh of relief and was also very happy to hear Xu Shi say that. All her hard work these past few days had finally paid off.

"I've also left room for upgrades. If your abilities improve in the future, I can further upgrade them."

"Know it."

Xu Shi chuckled to himself, thinking how thoughtful she was... He couldn't help but pull Jiang Chengcheng over and kiss her on the cheek.

What a treasure of a girl!

"Well……"

Being treated like this made Jiang Chengcheng happy, and she pressed herself against her, saying, "Then... I want a reward..."

"..."

Xu Shi wasn't too surprised by her actions; in fact, her level of infatuation wasn't exactly shallow either.

But to be honest, isn't she being a little too hasty?

Looking back, Xia Wuyou wasn't much better off, her cheeks flushed red as she crossed her legs, looking like she was trying her best to restrain herself.

"Why are you here too...?"

Xu Shi became curious.

"Isn't it all because of your abilities?"

Xia Wuyou said with shame and indignation, her eyes full of reproach.

When Xu Shi tried to activate her ability using her special weapon, she actually had some intention of trying to block it, but she found that... she couldn't block it at all.

She herself was a player of the Aura system, so she naturally knew something about it. However, mental power, scientifically speaking, is just radio waves, which cannot be controlled by gravity...

The effect of "increasing entropy of malice" is to evoke negative emotions in the other person.

So tell me, what could be the biggest negative emotion in the hearts of these two girls right now?

It goes without saying.

Ah this.

Xu Shi also realized what was happening, smiled helplessly, and reached out his hand to Xia Wuyou.

Xia Wuyou hesitated for a moment, but still placed her hand on his.

She knew perfectly well what "bad man" meant; he wanted her to be with Jiang Chengcheng.

Well... let's go together then.

It must be said that, given the precedent of the failed night raid, she felt much less burdened by this kind of situation.

Anyway, being with Jiang Chengcheng is no different from being with Gu Yi, right?

As she thought about it, she felt a strange sense of pride: I was ahead of Gu Yi!

As for Jiang Chengcheng?

They've already coiled around it like water snakes.

"Yujing": Another name for the snake (巳蛇); originates from the Tang Dynasty novel "Legend of Cui Wei" by Pei Xing.

[Wei] then asked, "Why is the snake called Yujingzi?" He replied, "In the past, Anqi rode a dragon to pay homage to the Jade Capital, hence the name Yujingzi."

Chapter 161 Don't rush, let the bullets fly for a while

Friendships between girls often emerge in unexpected ways.

At least that was the case for Xia Wuyou and Jiang Chengcheng—the fact is that before Xu Shi dragged them to sleep together under the same quilt, they weren't very close, but after just one night, their interactions felt quite like those of best friends.

That's for sure. Not only did they share a lollipop, but in their confusion they even kissed. Naturally, their relationship would grow rapidly.

That's the charm of Impart (not really).

Interestingly, both Jiang Chengcheng and Xia Wuyou were initially somewhat resistant to the idea of ​​"serving Xu Shi with others" and were not very open about it... What they thought in their hearts was one thing, but how they put it into practice was another matter entirely.

But Xu Shi had so many tricks up his sleeve and so many demands, setting up one set after another. Stacking games were one thing, but there were even U-lock positions, two on top of one, interlocking fingers, and so on…

As the saying goes, when you're with someone you like, you can start to enjoy doing things you don't like. Plus, with the influence of "increased entropy of malice" there, things just happen in a daze.

"I didn't expect Manager Xia to be so...eloquent?"

The next morning, Jiang Chengcheng woke up and looked at Xia Wuyou from a distance, her expression revealing an uncontrollable urge to laugh.

"Ugh, please stop talking..."

Xia Wuyou was so embarrassed she wanted to die. Good heavens, she didn't know how he ended up licking her last night. In her confusion, she didn't realize anything was wrong, but now she felt utterly humiliated.

The biggest difference between her and Jiang Chengcheng lies here—Jiang Chengcheng doesn't have much experience either, but she sincerely wants to take the initiative to come up with more new ideas.

But she wasn't like that. Just a few weeks ago, she was still an innocent young girl who didn't know anything about the world, and such things seemed very vague to her.

As a result, Xu Shi dragged him to the hospital for several days to develop his skills, and now he has experienced such a thrilling thing, which has really made him grow a lot.

Instead of comforting her, Xu Shi became even more interested and teased her even more.

He was already enjoying this heavenly experience, and he wished it could happen every time. Anyway, he had enough energy drinks, so what was there to be afraid of?

"You're just bullying me."

Xia Wuyou bit him, looking aggrieved.

"That's exactly what I'm doing, bullying you."

Xu Shicai didn't care. After making a fuss for a while, he slowly sat up and said, "Alright, alright, cheer up. The field team is going to be busy soon, and there are still things waiting for you to do."

"right?"

Xia Wuyou nodded, blushed, and got up to help him get dressed with Jiang Chengcheng.

She was aware of this. Although things had been calm these past few days, she knew from her frequent running around that the other party had made quite a few serious arrangements, and she had long been prepared.

"Hmm? What's up?"

Jiang Chengcheng was not very aware of this. She had been working tirelessly in the engineering department for some time and was not really aware of what was happening outside.

However, after Xu Shi explained it to her, she understood.

"Is there anything I can do for you?"

After hearing this, she took the initiative to ask, which wasn't too surprising.

The truth is that Xia Wuyou is already used to Xu Shi's personality, so she won't do anything about it just because he wants to do bad things. For example, take Lin Xing, who is locked up next door. It's true that she was captured by Xia Wuyou, but don't forget that she was the one who was personally modified.

This is the true meaning of "do as instructed, regardless of right or wrong".

"It seems there really isn't one."

Xu Shi smiled, quite pleased with her attitude, but still shook his head, "You've already made the greatest contribution."

"Yujing" was the best gift she had given him. With this, he was much more confident when it came to the real confrontation.

Anyway, the improvement from an A- to almost A+ in ability is by no means small.

but.

"I'm afraid you can't help with other things, but for your own safety, why don't you stay with me for a few days?"

He said seriously, "Jiang Chengcheng is not a combatant. No matter what, we shouldn't leave her alone to avoid any unforeseen complications."

"……All right."
