I have a map editor

He thanked his girlfriend Emily again.

"It seems you are not hungry. I'm going upstairs. See you later."

Lucas turned around and tried to leave.

He left so abruptly that Claire was stunned for a moment before she reacted. She got up angrily and chased after him naked without even putting on her shoes.

"No, that's not right. I can't just avoid it like this."

He stopped suddenly, and the woman was caught off guard and bumped into his back.

Lucas felt the surging waves and the soft touch of the elastic.

"Whether it's a human or a predator, they will instinctively chase their prey... and it has nothing to do with dignity. If I avoid it like this, I will be in a more disadvantageous situation in the future, and my relationship with Claire will become more difficult."

"You..." Claire subconsciously still holding the bottle of sunscreen, leaned on the man's seemingly ordinary but actually strong back, and looked up.

Lucas was nearly a head taller than her, and she was barefoot, so she needed to look up when they were in close contact.

She was surprised to find that the man no longer avoided her gaze, but turned around and looked down at her.

Instead, she suddenly felt shy and subconsciously covered her chest with her other hand... or was it her lower body?

Claire started to shy away. This time it was her turn to avoid the other person's gaze.

Lucas stretched out a hand and held her hand very gentlemanly - now she didn't have to hesitate about what to cover.

He took the bottle of sunscreen from her other hand, put on a faint smile that made her heart beat wildly, and walked towards the beach chair where she was before.

On the way, he seemed to be very interested in her bear section that bounced with her steps. He stared at her there intently, but his eyes were not filled with obscene intent. Instead, he looked at her in admiration for its shape and appearance.

"Why did you suddenly..."

Claire blushed and couldn't help but cross her arms across her chest.

"I'm sorry, I just suddenly remembered your folk customs and culture. It's very rude to refuse a lady's request. It's ridiculous that I was emphasizing politeness before."

Lucas smiled and took a step closer, shifting the sunscreen bottle to his other hand and gently holding her soft waist. Claire shuddered slightly as if she had been electrocuted, and her legs could hardly support the weight of her body and she fell towards Lucas. With Lucas half hugging her, she sat back on the beach chair.

"Hey, lie down, I'll help you apply oil"

"Oh, ok, okay."

All her ease and playful attitude were gone, and Claire was as nervous as the first time she was sixteen... Well, she was so drunk at the time that she didn't remember anything about Emily's dad lying on top of her.

Then again, if Emily's father hadn't been drunk, he wouldn't have had the chance to break her wings, and Emily wouldn't have had any part in the show.

.

What should I do? I'm so nervous, should I open my legs? Will the 75-degree angle make me look like I'm deliberately trying to seduce him? I'm so shy...ah, why should I be shy! ?

Lucas slowly and carefully applied sunscreen on her, not leaving out any corner of her body, with a smile on his face that made her blush and her heart beat faster.

Claire didn't know what was wrong with her, why she was acting like a prey caught by its natural enemy, from her heart to her body. The Lucas in front of her... didn't scare her, but made her legs weak.

Back, waist, hips, thighs... Lucas's big hands seemed to have magic, caressing her skin comfortably and smoothly, even including the grooves deeply hidden under the two half-moons. He helped her apply sunscreen with a professional method that did not make her feel vulgar.

I also gave her a simple massage before letting her turn over to expose the front of her body.

Starting from her feet this time, Lucas began to apply sunscreen on her from bottom to top.

He must have seen me there... He must have seen it... Oh oh...

Claire has also enjoyed the services of so-called Thai or District 11 senior technicians in many high-end clubs, but their techniques are completely incomparable to Lucas's. Is it a psychological effect?

She didn't know, she only knew that she had never experienced this feeling before. She couldn't help but bite her lower lip and close her eyes, letting out a sweet hum from the depths of her throat.

"By the way, you have maintained your figure really well. Even without my fitness guidance, you would still have a first-class figure."

"Um……"

Claire opened her eyes slightly and looked at the man in a daze. The oil had already been smeared on her upper body. She took advantage of Lucas's inattention and contracted a few times with slightly disordered breathing.

"do you mind?"

"Hmm? No..."

She had no idea what Lucas was asking about, but the next moment she knew. Lucas seemed to use the same massage technique as the technician in District 11 she had experienced before, pushing the sunscreen oil from the base of the breast upwards, carefully performing a professional massage over and over again.

Claire's eyes were filled with tears. She bit her lower lip again and sang softly, sometimes louder and sometimes softer, depending on the strength of Lucas.

Because some onomatopeia will trigger a 404 warning, I won’t show them to you here.

Claire closed her eyes and panted softly. She was a little scared and wanted to grab Lucas' hand, but she couldn't bear to give up this feeling from the bottom of her heart. Her two long legs, as smooth and straight as jade pillars, could no longer remain natural. They were tangled together unconsciously and rubbed back and forth.

She suddenly opened her eyes and looked at Lucas above her body in surprise.

He was withdrawing his hands with a shy smile on his face:

"I'm sorry, you're so beautiful, I couldn't help it..."

Claire was stunned. Her brain was out of work at this moment. A little ecstasy surged in her heart, but she didn't know how to respond to this situation. She only heard Lucas holding her shoulders and pulling her up, saying:

"Okay, now that the oil is applied, it's time to get dressed and go upstairs to eat."

“Oh…oh, oh…okay.”

……

While riding the elevator upstairs, Lucas glanced at Claire, who was wearing a high-slit bikini.

She didn't dare take too big a step, and her footsteps seemed to be walking on clouds.

"You have lowered the standard of clothing here by yourself... You will be a grandmother in a few years, are you shy like a bubble teapot! ? "

"But... Shit, I really couldn't help it just now..."

0075

That afternoon, although Lucas was sitting in a chair in the control room, facing the big screen, he had no intention of working. His mind was full of thoughts, or to put it another way on the Internet, his brain was full of thoughts.

What happened at noon was also a new experience for him.

He discovered that his girlfriend and her mother seemed to have the qualities of a paper tiger. They looked fierce and aggressive, but as long as their masks or disguises were broken, their weak prototypes would be exposed.

At the same time, what happened at noon also taught him a lesson, or rather, it was an unconventional practice.

It turns out that a serious gentleman can play like this. This is not hypocrisy, but the fun of the game between men and women. He was not a good chess player before, but thanks to Emily and Claire... He had read countless messy literature or works that could not be called literature. He forgot which work said that women are the best teachers for men.

Thanks to Emily and Claire, he is now a much more mature person.

But as to whether it grows crooked or not, that depends on personal opinion.

……

In the afternoon, Claire sneaked out of her room in her nightgown.

She knew that Lucas usually didn't go out when he was working, and would only go outside to get some fresh air occasionally when he encountered some difficulties.

She also knew that his two secretaries were staying in the community today to interview employees of Crown Eagle Mountain (Magic) Bank and would not come all day.

Therefore, no one in the entire base would pay attention to her behavior.

But she just couldn't help being sneaky.

When she arrived at the restaurant where they had lunch, she took out the kitchen toilet paper she brought from her room, squatted down and carefully wiped the seat where she had sat at noon.

After finishing, he stood up as if relieved, fixed his hair and looked around, and then did not throw away the used toilet paper.

Instead of throwing the raw paper away, he took it back to his room to destroy the evidence.

……

Lucas, who was staring at the big screen in a daze, witnessed her entire movement... There was no way, the surveillance system seemed to have some kind of automatic AI, and moving objects on the screen would be played on the big screen first.

"Geese, geese, geese, geese..."

Lucas covered his mouth, his shoulders shaking as if he had electricity, and he was laughing so hard that he couldn't take care of himself.

"I've already told them that this place has a magical effect. It can automatically remove dust... even sticky... stains."

"Shit, I finally understand why I subconsciously pursued this woman in the first place... I was aiming for marriage."

……

When they returned in the evening, Lucas was still in the same outfit, but Claire had changed into her everyday home clothes.

It is a pearl-colored shirt + a royal blue long skirt, but the shirt and the long skirt are styles from thirty years later, with advanced fashion elements. Moreover, her hairstyle is not the common housewife hairstyle in Flower Country at that time, but a sporty single ponytail.

In the past, her makeup could show some characteristics of an older woman, but now, without complimenting or exaggerating, when she stands with Emily without makeup, you really can't see any difference.

Neither mother nor daughter has the kind of looks that would make Lucas face-blind. For example, he often mistook Emily's classmates or schoolmates for aunties in their thirties...

Before he became the time traveler "Lucas", he stayed in his original time and space and sometimes watched international news, and he often had face blindness. For example, he mistook a 14-year-old girl in a British news article for a -year-old woman.

Probably because she had been hiding in her room in the afternoon and had sorted out her mood, Claire regained her usual arrogant and conceited aura. Lucas restrained the smile on his face that made her blush and her heart beat fast, and behaved very normally.

Women are born actors, but Lucas noticed that while waiting for the elevator, she secretly turned around and let out two long breaths.

I couldn't help but laugh in my heart.

……

Back at the Low Hill Villa, Laurel and Zhuo Yisi had already returned.

The two are preparing dinner here.

Emily will be home from school soon too.

“I went to watch TV”

Claire nodded to Zoey who was coming over and walked straight into the living room.

"Boss, the preliminary candidates have been interviewed. Let me report to you."

"Okay, let's go to the study."

The two entered the room and sat down on either side of the desk. Zhuo Yisi reported the results of the past few days' work to Lucas in detail.

She and Luo Ruier also made a trial operation report for the bank these days, and made a comprehensive estimate of the administrative operations and profit and revenue expectations.

They even planned how much to pay their employees each week based on past and current prices.

They had probably been idle for too long, and finally got a chance to show their own value, so both of them wanted to perform well.

Lucas doesn't know much about this either. He just develops step by step at the strategic level according to what he knows and has learned. When it comes to specific matters, his approach has always been "let professionals do professional things."

It's like letting Merry run and manage the entire Crown Eagle Mountain community...but in this regard, he may be more professional than anyone else, even those professional politicians.

Professional politicians may be great at causing trouble, making money or engaging in internal affairs, but when it comes to governance... haha, Lucas has been proving this point ever since he was drawn into the fog.

……

Lucas has been studying the [Task System] for some time and has gradually made some progress.

It may be related to Merry's special extraordinary profession [Sheriff], so the information collected by the [Task System] and the tasks generated are somewhat strange.

We all know that the law has its limitations. In this regard, Lucas did not choose to make Merry a defender of rigid laws, but instead made her a protector of righteousness and justice. This is commendable and shows that he really does not want to be a bad guy or a villain.

But even so, a large part of the power, or function, of Merry's [Sheriff] is restricted by geographical location.

For example, if she follows the Flower Kingdom laws used in Crown Eagle Mountain, she can obtain up to 100% suppression of criminals in terms of basic attributes, skill effects, etc., but this feature will not take effect if she leaves the range of Crown Eagle Mountain.

It is just like two countries that have not established extradition agreements and judicial relations cannot use their own laws to try people who have committed crimes in another country.

And with regionality comes bias, especially since this is not an ordinary job or position, but a special supernatural profession. The characteristics of the profession are very similar to the way gods use the power of faith of believers. If the local residents have more trust in Merry and things like the New Year, she will receive more supernatural bonuses when she is in the local area, including but not limited to super recovery of life (HP), physical strength or magic power (Merry does not have a blue bar for the time being), stronger defense, and even some more metaphysical attributes, such as dodge rate.

That is why the [Task System] collects and generates tasks such as the "XXX's Troubles" series. Although this may seem nonsensical, it can really greatly increase the favorability or trust in the eyes of the task target.

Once you know the cause, the solution is easy. As long as your thinking does not slip, there are always more solutions than problems.

He simply "pulled" Merry directly into the [Affairs Officer] column - it had been proven through Zhuo Yisi and Luo Ruier that this [Task System] could use the cognition and brains of the [Affairs Officer] to solve problems, so how could a professional COP with twenty years of work experience, a half-baked man like him and two secretaries who knew nothing about police work, be able to judge what should be done better?

Through Meili's own judgment and cognition, Lucas eliminated a large number of clues and intelligence that she considered unnecessary, and combined with his own improvements, he finally generated a more feasible county bureau-specific task system.

In this process, Lucas gained a lot of practical experience.

For example, through the distribution of task rewards, he learned that several extraordinary buildings of the "Dark Night Unit" can "upgrade" themselves every day by absorbing the free magic elements in the world. They can also convert the absorbed magic elements into general experience, and Dark Night units such as the "Tree Spirit" can obtain this experience through daily activities.

This is why "Night Units" can always upgrade themselves.

Through the task system, he can freely distribute the "experience points" converted from extraordinary buildings, thus realizing the basic reward of the task system - experience granting.
