This game is so weird!

After waiting a while, once the night rain subsided, Li Ang led him to the command room on the second floor to learn about the operating experience.

Compared to her lively demeanor while playing games, Ye Yu behind her seemed a little hesitant in her steps.

Only his constantly moving eyes and the occasional touches on the walls and decorations revealed his inner excitement.

This game is amazing!

It would be even better if you could send me my AI companion soon!!

With his mind wandering, Ye Yu, who was obediently following along, soon went up to the second floor.

They entered a room they had never been to before—the commander's room.

The simple room is divided into two parts: one half is an office consisting of three floor-to-ceiling windows and a panoramic color-changing skylight, while the other half is a lounge separated by a wall.

Through the open interior door, one can see a corner of the messy bed in the lounge.

"Cough cough."

As Li Ang sat down in his office chair, he turned around and noticed Ye Yu's gaze. He coughed, then flicked his finger, and the door to the break room closed immediately.

"Please sit down."

"Okay, sure."

Ye Yu walked to the chair opposite the desk and sat down, half of her buttocks on the chair, her body ramrod straight.

"Haha, you can relax a bit now."

"The main reason for inviting you up here is to conduct a survey and evaluation of your experience with this virtual game, and also to present you with the rewards for this event."

"Please fill out this form based on your honest feelings. You can take your time; just give your honest feedback."

After speaking, Li Ang slid his arm in the air, and as arranged in advance, the comical-faced man jumped out holding the slightly modified immersive biological computing terminal evaluation template and presented it to Ye Yu.

As Ye Yu filled out the forms one by one, the comical face controlled the hovering mechanical arm, holding inspection instruments and circling around him, simultaneously conducting analysis and sampling.

After a while, under the tense gaze of Ye Yu who had finished filling out the form, the comical face cut off the last hair sample from his forehead and floated away.

"call--"

Only then did Ye Yu breathe a sigh of relief.

The feeling of a bunch of robotic arms carrying unknown instruments running around me is terrifying.

Anyone who didn't know better would think they'd stumbled into a Resident Evil lab!

After catching her breath, Ye Yu looked up at Li Ang, who had taken away the forms. After hesitating for a moment, unsure of how to begin, she slowly spoke.

"You are... the owner of Scar Removal Studio?"

"Ha, who knows. Just treat me as the commander here."

With a casual smile, Li Ang changed the subject.

Although there was no particular need to keep it secret, he also had no intention of revealing the information directly.

Congratulations again on winning first place in this competition! I hope you love your partner and take good care of him.

As the inner room door opened, a suspended tray flew out from inside.

The tray flew to the center of the office and slowly descended, finally coming to a steady stop on the ground. On the tray was a tall gift box, the red box with a gold ribbon that was very eye-catching.

Ye Yu rubbed his hands together, feeling a little embarrassed as the matter came to a head.

Although I'm a seasoned veteran in visual novels, after all, there's the matter of a partner...

And in public...

Ye Yu strode forward, took the pure white rubber gloves that Li Ang handed her, and put them on, feeling somewhat excited.

This cyborg is quite sentimental, even wearing white gloves.

My partner—

The image of the girl in the game's promotional video flashed through Ye Yu's mind. He reached out and pulled on the ribbon at the top of the gift box, letting it unfurl like the girl's dress.

Just as Ye Yu was happily preparing to open the gift box lid.

"Sizzle—Bang!!!"

The gift box burst open, and a large yellow squirrel jumped out, pounced on Ye Yu's face, and climbed onto his head amidst his frantic attempts to pry it away.

The yellow squirrel scratched its head and looked at the man sitting below with a look of disgust.

"Skin……"

Ye Yu rolled her eyes and glanced up slightly at the creature above her.

This partner seems a bit unserious?

Maybe I'm just being too unrealistic?

Reaching out his hands, he tentatively lifted the yellow creature above his head to his front. The yellow squirrel's body glowed slightly and made a crackling sound for a while. Seeing that Ye Yu, who was wearing rubber gloves, didn't react, it pursed its lips in boredom and stopped moving.

Looking at the yellow creature in front of him, Ye Yu's pupils dilated slightly.

"Pikachu!!???"

"Commander, are you sure this is okay? What about the legal team at Lengtian Paradise...?"

Ye Yu blinked hard, then suddenly turned to look at Li Ang, her mouth slightly agape.

Li Ang smiled confidently, seemingly unconcerned.

He stretched out his hand and made a sweeping motion in the air.

"This is a pet companion independently developed by our Scar Reconstruction Base, with biotechnology registration number xxxx-xxxxx. It is bred using the Silver Star Thunder Squirrel as a base and with the addition of a unique formula. Its scientific name is Pikachu, but you can call it whatever you like."

"Heaven doesn't care about our wounds."

Several projections appeared and disappeared rapidly in the air, among which the Imperial-certified patent certificate automatically generated after successful cultivation and the original appearance of the Thunder Squirrel were clearly visible.

Ye Yu stared in disbelief, her mouth agape.

Is your studio really that wild? You're just fooling yourselves.

I stared blankly at the Pikachu in front of me, then gently increased the pressure and pinched the fur on the side of the Pikachu's waist. Hey, it feels so good...

"Alright, that's all the rewards you've received in this competition."

"Thank you for participating in the first competition and this test experience of Scarstar. You are now free to move around. The game helmet will be part of your competition rewards when you leave."

Also, please remember.

"This Pikachu is also a sentient being with emotions. Just like you, it can be happy, sad, and angry. It can also be hungry and thirsty. Please take good care of it."

"I hope you can continue your efforts and achieve even better results in the future."

After Li Ang finished speaking seriously about the important matter, he smiled again, patted Ye Yu on the shoulder, and saw him and Pikachu out of the commander's room on the second floor.

As the office door closed, Li Ang let out a deep breath.

"Phew—finally, we've gotten rid of that demonic orb."

Turning back to the closed bedroom, Li Ang felt a headache coming on as he looked at the messy bed and the scattered ornamental plants.

Do you like pets that are lively, energetic, and even have superpowers to fight?

"We need to quickly authorize employees to build their own dormitories and kick them out!"

-----------------

On the other side, as soon as Ye Yu, who had been sent down to the second floor, relaxed a little, Pikachu slipped out of his hand, circled around his body, and then climbed onto his head again.

After struggling and repeatedly catching and escaping, he finally resigned himself to his fate.

At least it's still on me and hasn't run away, so there's no risk of it getting lost.

Thinking of her past experience of wanting to keep a cat but not being able to because she lived in the dormitory, Ye Yu scratched Pikachu's belly and chuckled softly as it scratched at her in disgust.

From now on, you'll be called Pikachu!

As Ye Yu walked towards the lobby, she prepared to get some fries for her new friend.

At this time, players who logged in after the update had already collected the limited edition pendant at the counter and were gathered in the lobby, eagerly waiting for the appearance of the first AI companion in the entire server.

"Why isn't he out yet, buddy?"

"He's not replying to WeChat messages, and he doesn't even check his QQ status. Is he out out partying with his partner?"

The thought of Ye Yu's potentially happy life gradually twisted Mu Yu's expression into a ferocious grin.

I'm worried that my brother is suffering, and I'm also worried that he's driving a Land Rover.

Why is it that he's the only one who can happily play with girls?

The thought of Ye Yu possibly experiencing an unprecedented VR experience with brand-new equipment made Mu Yu feel even more heartbroken.
