The package has assigned me way too many objects.

Then it has to be a perfect score, no matter what!

Marissa looked at the package that Turing Tower Express had sent, which contained several sets of beast girl cosplay outfits... as well as essential plugins and miscellaneous auxiliary tools.

The girl's face was a mixture of bitterness and shyness as she said:

"Little Chu Nan, didn't the mission say we should only study the tail? Why are clothes being sent over as well?"

Chu Yinan stated that it had nothing to do with him, and this truly was unrelated; Fu Xi had sent it over as part of the package.

"This is Fu Xi's intention, perhaps hinting that if we play around with everything... and research everything thoroughly, we can accelerate our progress."

"Marissa, put it on. Don't be afraid or nervous. I'll be right here watching you."

Chapter 55 Fox Girl

It's because you're watching that I get nervous!

Marissa was somewhat reluctant, but after being coaxed and pleaded with by Xiao Chunan, she finally decided to put it on in the face of his expectations.

The clothes delivered by the AI ​​sisters were quite environmentally friendly. They probably considered that Marisa wouldn't wear them a second time, so they didn't waste too much fabric on them. Apart from the stockings, the fabric of several sets of clothes combined was less than the amount of fabric used in one pair of Xiao Chunan's boxer shorts.

The first outfit she chose was the white fox set because it looked relatively pure and cute. The fabric was also truly environmentally friendly and economical. The upper body only had two pieces of fabric in the shape of a "?", slightly larger than a bottle cap. Even a bikini would be considered conservative compared to it. The lower body continued the current trend of advocating environmental protection while also having rich design connotations. It directly eliminated all the fabric, using only a thin rope strung together as beads.

Marissa regretted it as soon as she put it on and hid under the covers, refusing to come out.

"Oh dear, how could this be? I thought there was a lot of fabric, but only the ears are big."

Chu Yinan can attest that Marissa exaggerated. The fox ears do look quite large and fluffy, but the fabric is mostly white silk, specifically the same cat paw white silk stockings she tried on in the Glory Island mall, with a cute pink plum blossom print on the sole.

The curtains were already drawn, so theoretically there was no one spying on them. However, Chu Yinan couldn't just pull back the covers and embarrass Marissa. What if she got angry?

Chu Yinan chose to crawl under the covers himself, starting from the foot of the bed and moving all the way to the head, lying down next to Marissa. Marissa, recovering from her embarrassment, asked:

"The dating mission didn't require me to wear this. Even if Sister Fuxi and the others sent it, it might not be useful for our mission! We just need to study the tail, so researching is enough!"

Chu Yinan didn't waste any time. He simply used his phone to search for relevant information, then opened the task interface and showed it to Marissa straightforwardly:

"Look, the data is here, the task interface is here, and the progress hasn't changed much, right?"

"Xiao Chunan, you're talking nonsense. This progress bar is starting to move... uh?"

Marissa was overjoyed for a moment when she saw the task progress bar move! She was originally planning to change out of this shameful outfit immediately, but the progress bar slowed down at 0.98% and finally stopped at 0.99%.

It seems like they're really not giving any progress updates!

"Why is this happening? Doesn't researching count? This is also a discussion!" Marissa protested loudly, which meant that she couldn't escape the remaining outfits!

"It counts, isn't this just rounding up to one percent?"

"Would it be useful for us to have a little more information?" Marissa still held a sliver of hope and didn't want to give up so quickly.

"I think so. Checking the information should give us 3 or 4 points of progress, but that's probably all."

"So how can we make progress?"

Chu Yinan had been waiting for this question from her. He immediately pulled the main product out of the quilt, a mysteriously designed and easy-to-install plugin. The other end of the plugin had a fluffy white fox tail, which was quite cute.

"Let's play with this. Doesn't this tail match your ears perfectly?"

Marissa initially liked the tail, thinking it was cute and even prettier with the fox ears. But those were her thoughts before she knew how to wear it. Now, she just finds it terrifying!

"...It doesn't match." The girl pursed her lips and said quietly. Xiao Chunan put the tail in her hand, and Marissa picked it up with a bit of disgust, muttering, "This can't even be worn! Can we try using transparent tape to stick it in?"

Chu Yinan knew that a practical demonstration would be effective, so he rummaged through his drawers and pulled out a roll of transparent tape, then stuck Marissa's tail on.

During this time, the girl kept staring at her phone screen, praying that the task progress would increase even a little bit. She didn't ask for much; even if it was the same as before, she would be fine. If possible, she would accept a little more.

However, the AI's judgment was indeed very strict. This time, it only gave her 0.001 and refused to make it into 1%.

Chu Yinan also knew that Marissa was resistant to this thing. The tail was divided into beginner, senior, professional and custom-made versions for hardcore players. The most outrageous size was even larger than the fist of an adult strong man.

In fact, Chu Yinan thought that Marisa should be able to accept this beginner-level fox tail, because it wasn't as intimidating as his own, and last time Marisa had made him...

"Marisa, I know you must be very nervous right now, it's okay. Let me warm you up first, relax your muscles, and clear your tense mind. It's actually similar to the hydrotherapy during your last physical examination."

"I think the physical exam was much easier than the one Xiao Chunan did last time..." Marissa's voice was as soft as a whisper. She hugged her pillow tightly and closed her eyes to stop thinking about it.

Chu Yinan first probed briefly, saying:

"It's a bit dry. I mean, Marissa hasn't had any water for a while, so her mouth must be a bit dry now. I'll go get you a glass of water to moisten it up."

"......Um."

"How are you feeling, Marissa?"

"Hurry up!" Marissa buried her head in the pillow like an ostrich.

Her eyes were glued to her phone screen under her pillow, watching the real-time progress. If the progress didn't move, she would immediately stop Xiao Chunan. But the progress really started moving, even though Xiao Chunan was still helping her to calm her tense and blocked mind. The progress had already started moving at a speed of 1%, whereas before it was crawling at a snail's pace of 0.001%!

As the saying goes, "One minute on stage requires ten years of practice off stage," and the same applies to other things. Wearing a complete beast girl outfit was a bit too much for Marisa's tolerance for embarrassment. Chu Yinan was very considerate, constantly going in and out to help her prepare. He himself was sweating profusely from the anxiety, which made Marisa so nervous that she fainted several times.

Fortunately, hard work pays off. Through Chu Yinan's unremitting efforts, the Fox Girl set was finally completed with all the set attributes, with no missing pieces and no mistakes in wearing any of them.

"W-how come it's only 25% progress?" Marissa was now completely huddled under the covers, curled up in a ball, and had even kicked Xiao Chunan out of the covers.

This progress is already much faster than the previous snail's pace, but Marissa thought that at this rate, she would have to wear at least four more sets of clothes!

How can I stand this!

"Little Chunan, how about we give up and study this later?" Marissa wanted to stall for time and see if she could find another way to make progress.

"But you've just gotten used to it, so it's easier to accumulate a lot of progress in one go. Next time, you might have to clear your mind first. How about trying the bunny girl this time?"

"Ugh... okay then."

Chapter 56 Rabbit Girl

Twenty minutes earlier, Chu Yinan went out to get a glass of wine.

Besides the extra water dispenser in the study, people in other rooms have to leave their rooms to get water if they need it. Perhaps this arrangement was intended to encourage people to move around more, even if it's just to get a glass of water. That's better than staying in your room all day.

Since Marissa said she was thirsty, Chu Yinan, as a considerate brother to his sister, naturally felt obligated to leave his room and go downstairs to get some water.

If she's taken care of like this, when Marissa gets hit with the stick later, she won't be able to say no.

After filling a glass with water, Chu Yinan, worried it wouldn't be enough, poured a glass of fresh orange juice from the refrigerator as well. Her service was exceptionally attentive, and she even added some ice cubes.

Chun, who was already busy in the kitchen, noticed Xiao Chunan's movements and asked curiously:

"Little Chunan, it's rare to see you drink orange juice. Don't you want lemon juice? Sister Dilia made it after washing the dishes, it's very fresh."

Handmade lemon juice and lemon tea are best not left overnight, or for too long, otherwise they will become bitter and lose their flavor.

Chu Yinan had already reached his limit holding the cup with both hands; carrying any more wouldn't be appropriate. He worried that if he said it was for Marissa, Chun would be curious about why he was being so attentive, so he replied:

"I drank it because I wanted to try a new flavor."

Chun didn't ask any more questions. Seeing Xiao Chunan carrying two full cups, she worried that he might drop and spill them.

"Then let me help you carry it up; it's too dangerous for you to carry it yourself."

"No need, I can do it myself. How can I not even hold a cup properly?"

"Okay, then."

After Xiao Chunan went upstairs, the silver-haired maid finished her work and suddenly became curious about something—Xiao Chunan was drinking sweet orange juice?

This is quite unusual. He usually doesn't even eat much sweet apples, so why is he drinking such a sweet beverage now? And he even took it upstairs to savor it. Could it be that he was playing some kind of bet with Marissa, and now that he's lost, his punishment is to drink orange juice?

The little maid peeked at him from the kitchen and saw her young master already carrying two cups, carefully walking up the stairs.

Chun muttered to himself:

"Malesa is really something, making Xiao Chunan fetch a glass of water for her. I'll go over and see what's going on. How could she let Xiao Chunan drink dessert!"

Chu Yinan entered the room carrying cups in both hands. He didn't have a free hand to close the door, and he was also a little anxious to help Marissa talk things out. In the meantime, he was so focused on putting down the cups that he forgot to turn around and close the door.

Then she rushed over and peeked through the crack in the door. Her simple worldview was greatly shocked. She knew that she should avoid such things, so she considerately closed the door. But she stood there stunned, having witnessed almost the entire formal process.

"How did Xiao Chunan kiss you like that..."

......

"My God, this is even worse than going to Yenisetari for a medical check-up and spa treatment. How can Marissa endure it... or is she already used to it?"

......

"Marisa's socks are so cute, do they match her fox ears? She's dressed so scantily, so daring...wait, what's with that fluffy tail, huh?"

Just then, Marissa was moved by Xiao Chunan, and the girl suddenly noticed a glint of light flashing in the direction of the door. The door was not closed!

Marissa met Chun's gaze from outside the door. The two girls froze, staring at each other in astonishment.

Chu Yinan, holding Marissa, sensed her unusual reaction and asked softly:

"Marisa, what's wrong? What happened?"

"Chun, Chun, she saw it..."

After saying that, Marissa immediately burrowed back into the covers, too ashamed to face anyone, feeling as if she had been expelled from society.

Chu Yinan was stunned for a moment when she heard her words. Chun saw it? How could she have seen it?

It wasn't until he turned around that he realized he hadn't closed the door; he'd completely forgotten about it when he put the cups down!

This place was never shut down!

He didn't know how long Chun had been watching, but if he were to make the worst-case scenario plan, Chun might have been watching the entire high-definition live broadcast after he returned with his drink.

Then Chun saw all of Marissa's cuteness just now, which is not good!

Chun, who was outside the door, knew she had been discovered. She was completely bewildered and instinctively wanted to run, but for some reason her legs felt numb and weak, and she ran very slowly.

This is strange; sometimes you chase someone not because you want to, but because you see them start to run away. Chu Yinan didn't know how to explain or handle it, but seeing Chun preparing to run away, his subconscious reaction was to chase after her.

Moreover, he inexplicably exaggerated his sense of crisis, feeling that something terrible would happen if he didn't catch up, that Aunt Liu would find out, that Heinrich would find out, and that Delia would find out.

On a whim, in order to catch up with Chun as quickly as possible, Chu Yinan transformed without saying a word, taking three steps in two and using three legs as two, easily catching up with Chun, dragging her into the room, and then locking the door from the inside.

Chun had seen Chu Yinan's larger form during her physical examination and had even helped with the collection of beakers. However, things took a sudden turn when the larger version of the young master dragged her into a room and "confined" her. She was terrified and felt guilty.
