The collapse started when Kiana came to the door

After the Huang Empire was completely controlled by Theresa, the successor of Guanxing, the two immortal ministers who had retired from the stage of history naturally handed over the huge country to their respective successors.

General Youlan is not good at political intrigues. Although Prime Minister Rita is good at political intrigues, she is definitely not the kind of power-loving person who is extremely eager for power and status (except in love, of course).

Although being in high positions for many years made it difficult for the two of them to let go of their sense of responsibility towards the Huang Empire, when they witnessed with their own eyes the development of the Huang Empire under the leadership of the Second Sage King Theresa and the direct princess Kiana, which was gradually on the right track of world peace, these two immortal ministers, one civil and one military, who were satisfied with their retirement, discussed privately, why not follow Lord Guanxing to see the world outside?

Prime Minister Rita already had a good impression of the Captain. General Youlan, who had always set high standards for herself, felt lonely and anxious about not being able to improve her strength after reaching a level where she was unrivaled in the bubble. So, the two best friends, each with their own hidden agenda, hit it off on the spot, reported their safety and their next plans to Kiana and Theresa in that world, and then immediately slipped out of that bubble.

I wonder if His Majesty the Sage King and His Royal Highness the Prince will be so angry that they jump to their feet after seeing the notes they left?

Thinking of this, Prime Minister Rita raised the corners of her mouth with interest.

After all, if we talk about the good feelings they have towards the captain, those two should feel the same as them, right?

Just as Xilin was feeling emotional about the forest elves, she suddenly felt something was wrong.

"Wait, why are you suddenly talking about them?" She turned her face away and stared at Lost Rosemary with a powerful look. "I almost got fooled by you again. Shouldn't our goal now be to find a way to keep the captain by our side?"

"I'm not kidding you, Miss Xilin." Lost Rose shook her head with a dumb smile, "Haven't you heard the old saying that the captain always says, 'Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win every battle. Before the action begins, of course I have to introduce to you the various advantages that these companions who are working with you have when facing the captain."

“After all…” As she spoke, Lost Rosemary’s expression suddenly became somewhat helpless. “Even if this unexpected situation occurred, allowing us to spend some time with the captain, under Hyperion’s pursuit, the location of this world bubble should soon be exposed to their sight.”

Chapter 4 The Captain Has a Date with His Ship (k)

In the largest commercial district of the Skydome Room, under the colorful lights, Li Shubai walked slowly on the crowded street, feeling like an ancient man who had broken into modern society.

The drizzle fell like fog, forever covering the sky of Tiankong City. The thin clouds artificially condensed by Shencheng Technology using advanced meteorological control systems spread in the night sky where no stars or moon could be seen.

Compared to the dead silence around Raven's, this commercial street, which makes people wonder if there is no night, is so noisy that people can't calm down at all. In order to control the air humidity in this city, the drizzle that is usually dropped at night can't stop people from having nightlife.

Colorful lights illuminated the people everywhere on the street. The drunken office workers in the bar hummed a tune that others could not hear clearly, walked out of the door with their arms around each other, and then were taken away by the passing taxis as if they were eaten by wild beasts. Couples of fashionable young men and sexy girls snuggled up to each other's shoulders, whispering cheesy love words in each other's ears, and just walked out of a store, they turned around and pulled each other into the door of the love hotel.

Compared with the paper-crazy and gold-mad people here, Li Shubai, who has an expressionless face and looks a bit rigid and serious, seems more like an alien who shouldn't be in such a place.

Before leaving the Hyperion that did not belong to him, Li Shubai changed out of the long coat that he had not yet returned to Kevin in that world, and after washing up, he put on the clean clothes prepared for him by Ai Yi.

However, whether compared with Ai Yi's own attire or with the fiery atmosphere rising nearby, his simple set of T-shirt and sweatpants, although clean and comfortable, and in line with his taste and preferences, was ultimately too ordinary, and was somewhat out of place with the singing and dancing nearby.

Of course, Li Shubai himself didn't care about his clothes, nor did he care about the curious looks from passers-by around him - for people who were immersed in this city that never sleeps, a boy like Li Shubai who appeared here in an ordinary outfit could be regarded as a way to show his personality. So apart from the novelty, Li Shubai didn't feel any negative emotions of impoliteness from those focused looks.

But this current situation, which was still satisfactory to Li Shubai, disappeared without a trace when Ai Hyperion suddenly appeared in front of him.

"Sorry for the wait, Captain Shubai." Ai Yi walked briskly and gracefully to Li Shubai's front, then bent down with a smile. The hem of her tutu skirt and a very conspicuous part swayed with her movements. "I'm glad that the captain didn't take the opportunity to escape. In this way, our relationship has become more profound."

Li Shubai looked at Ai Yi expressionlessly. He felt the sudden surprise in the eyes of the people around him, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

To travel through time and space for a long time and interfere with and modify future events to a certain extent. In order to do this, Li Shubai not only exhausted Hyperion's special energy, but also emptied his body.

Although it was a choice made out of helplessness, to some extent, this accident also revealed the mistakes made by Li Shubai on another level. It was indeed his own fault for neglecting the possibility of [being interfered with by others during the time travel]. But no matter what, this feeling of being led by others did make Li Shubai feel very uncomfortable.

"That depends on whether your next actions are in line with what you said." Of course, no matter how unhappy he was, after accepting the other party's proposal, Li Shubai would not complain about it. He raised his arms and crossed his chest, speaking rationally and calmly, "Although I don't feel that you have any ill will towards me, but in the case of completely unequal intelligence, I really can't simply believe everything you say."

"That's enough." Ai Yi smiled, "Rather, if the captain is someone who is easily deceived by the appearances shown by others, it would be more unsettling for us, right?"

The city that never sleeps is reflected in Ai Yi's clear eyes, like a sea of ​​stars made up of colorful stars.

Li Shubai was silent for a moment, and his facial muscles relaxed uncontrollably. He sighed softly, shook his head tiredly, and finally did not say anything more to Ai Yi. Instead, he walked to her side and held her hand silently.

Since he has accepted Ai Yi's proposal, given Li Shubai's personality, he will of course take this [date] seriously.

Although he had never been on a date alone with a member of the opposite sex in the true sense, he had always seen pigs run even if he had never eaten pork, not to mention that there were so many examples nearby that he could learn and apply immediately.

But it was obvious that Ai Yi had not expected Li Shubai's actions at all.

So, unsurprisingly, her elegant, reliable and mature face froze the moment Li Shubai held her hand.

Li Shubai's sudden action easily shattered the calmness that the grown-up Xiao Baocai had always displayed.

"...What's wrong?" Feeling his lover's sudden stiffness, Li Shubai stopped and turned his head in confusion, "Why aren't you moving?"

"Ahem." Ai clenched her other hand into a fist and placed it next to her mouth, coughing softly to cover up her loss of composure. "No...nothing, since the captain is ready, let's enjoy this prosperous city that never sleeps."

"...Are you shy?" After hesitating for a moment, Li Shubai said dimly.

"How is that possible?" Ai Yi's face showed the same calm smile as before. "As a top gamer, it's just a date between a man and a woman who have a crush on each other. I've experienced this more than once."

After a moment of silence, Li Shubai asked, "In the game?"

"..." Ai Yi's calm and confident expression suddenly froze on her face again.

"Hmm..." Li Shubai thought about it, suddenly took two steps forward, then turned his body, and then walked in front of Ai Yi face to face.

"You...what do you want to do?" Feeling Li Shubai's suddenly aggressive gaze, Ai Yi tightened her face and forced herself to put on a calm expression, "Don't be silly, Captain, a mature person is..."

"Since you are a mature person, I will do this--" Li Shubai raised his hand, gently pinched Ai Yi's chin with his thumb and index finger, and then fixed her eyes with his own, "It should be okay."

In fact, Li Shubai originally wanted to try to see if he could put on an evil smile similar to that of a domineering president, but after hesitating for a moment, he finally gave up.

But...now it seems that the effect is unexpectedly good.

Li Shubai looked at Ai Yi's expressionless face... Although she didn't seem to show any shyness or blushing, but...

"Beep, abnormal system lag detected, self-inspection in progress."

"Log review completed. The emotion module is judged to be overheated. The cause is unknown. The solution is to redeploy the personality. The system is restarting. The personality deployment is complete. The memory module is loading. Warning, do you want to reload the block with the error? OK, memory..."

Hearing the inorganic voice constantly coming out of Ai Yi's mouth, Li Shubai silently loosened his fingers, walked back to Ai Yi's side and stood shoulder to shoulder with her.

"Eh... Eh?" After completing the system restart, Ai Yi shook her head and rubbed her brows in confusion. "I, I... what's wrong?"

Seeing Ai Yi's confused expression, Li Shubai's mind moved slightly, and he asked tentatively: "Are you going to help me recover my past memories right away? Next, we should return to the Hyperion."

"Return to the Hyperion and help the captain regain his memory... The mission is being confirmed, the target has been confirmed, the memory and the order have been successfully matched, and it will be implemented immediately... No!!" Halfway through her words, Ai shuddered as if she suddenly realized something.

"Hmm... Captain, you're too cunning!" She stared at Li Shubai, who was standing beside her with a thoughtful look on his face, puffed up her cheeks in indignation, and put on a (>△<) expression, "You actually took advantage of the personality loopholes revealed by the AI ​​in a short period of time after the restart due to the loading of memory to try to cheat! This is not what a gamer should do! You should have dated and interacted with me seriously to increase the heroine's favorability towards you!"

"Oh, indeed, I didn't think it through." Li Shubai nodded and said seriously, "Then as a gamer, I should also be able to see your affection bar for me in the game system, right?"

“Huh?”╭(°A°`)╮Aiyi blinked, feeling a little dizzy, “Yes, is that so?”

"Of course, and you should also tell me the detailed steps on how to improve your impression." Li Shubai said confidently, "Is there any game nowadays that doesn't even tell players the task prompts, task objectives and task progress? If there is, it is either a game without a specific goal, or a rubbish game. Think about the games you have played before, are they all the same as what I said?"

"But, but..." Although she instinctively felt that something was wrong, Ai Yi had no idea how to refute Li Shubai's words.

"Look, you just issued a task to me [date and interact with you seriously to increase favorability], right?" Li Shubai's voice was gentle and persuasive, like a weird uncle who was deceiving a child.

"Yes, that's right." Ai nodded stupidly.

"Then your game is not without specific goals, right?" Li Shubai continued to induce in a persuasive voice.

"Yes, yes." Ai continued to nod blankly.

"Then are you a manure worker?" Li Shubai asked.

"How is this possible!" Ai Yi's hair suddenly became furious, and her two long braids stood up in anger.

"Is that..."

"Just wait, I'll make a task panel for the captain!" Ai Yi waved her hand and interrupted Li Shubai without hesitation.

The bright blue data stream surged rapidly in front of Li Shubai's eyes. Soon, a virtual screen similar to a game panel appeared in front of Li Shubai, which recorded in detail the various strategy information of Ai Yi Hyperion. This information not only included what Li Shubai should do specifically and Ai Yi's preferences, but also clearly stated the level of favorability that Ai Yi needed to achieve when doing something, as well as Ai Yi's current level of favorability towards Li Shubai.

...Well, in the column of [Favorability required to make Ai Yi do something], Li Shubai also saw a very strange and eye-catching option [Unlock all hidden postures and CG = Favorability required 95].

Then, after carefully reading the contents on the panel, Li Shubai couldn't help but fall into a long silence.

Aiyi Hyperion, current status: in love, absolute obedience in subjective will, identity: subordinate ship (tentative)/Valkyrie (tentative), favorability: 15697, (upper limit 100)

Current tasks: None.

The shipborne AI is willing to accompany you throughout your life. You don’t need to do anything, just stay by the side of Ai Hyperion, and she will naturally increase her favorability towards you.

You can do anything you want to her, make her pose in any way you want her to, even if you give her the order to commit suicide immediately, she will immediately and loyally carry out the order.

If you want her to help you continue your task immediately, just give her instructions and she will follow your orders immediately.

PS. If possible, please treat your shipborne AI well. Of course, if you are willing to be a little rough, Ai Yi can accept it.

PS.2 Please smile more. When Ai Yi sees a smile on your face, her favorability will increase exponentially. Maybe, you can even unlock some special hidden content?

PS.3 This tip is very important, please be sure to read the following content carefully.

Ai likes her captain the most.

Should he give up the date immediately and return to the ship, ordering Ai to help the captain restore his memory.

Chapter 4: The Valkyries are in a meeting (k)

When Li Shubai saw the last option displayed on the strategy panel, he reached out his hand almost instinctively.

However, before his fingers were about to touch the virtual panel, he forcibly stopped his movements.

The finger was halfway raised and paused on the last option on the strategy panel.

If we think from a rational point of view, whether it is for his own personal freedom or to test whether Ai Hyperion did not lie to him or hide something, no matter which side it is, at this time, choosing (yes) is the most correct choice that Li Shubai should make.

It was true that Li Shubai did not feel Ai Yi's hostility and malice, but he had no way to confirm how much truth there was in what Ai Yi said to him. It was also for this reason that Li Shubai always maintained a certain degree of suspicion about what Ai Yi said to him, and he could not necessarily trust the information displayed on this strategy panel 100%.

But... was that really acting? He recalled the moment just now when Ai Yi was out of control because of his actions, so she had to restart the system. If that performance was also acting, then Ai Yi's acting talent was too terrifying.

And…that’s not all.

Because he had just interfered with the future, Li Shubai almost immediately associated the situation he was experiencing now with what happened to Mei Raiden in the paradise of the past.

At that time, Mei Raiden, who had just entered the Paradise of the Past, did not trust Alicia. In Mei Raiden's eyes at that time... even in his eyes, who had been following Mei Raiden's footsteps and carrying out the Paradise plot, the pink fairy lady seemed to be just a bad woman who always liked to use sweet words to cleverly hide something. Therefore, although Alicia did not really hurt or deceive Mei Raiden, Mei Raiden and Li Shubai, who was promoting the Paradise plot at that time, found it difficult to trust the pink fairy lady 100%.

They always wondered if cutting the pink would reveal its black nature, but after really cutting the pink, they found that Miss Fairy was still pink inside.

And if it really comes to that, even if the pink is put back together, a dark crack will remain there forever.

Therefore, after thinking of Alicia, Li Shubai's finger that wanted to press on it was unwilling to really press it.

Tsk... He closed his eyes gently, and suddenly smacked his lips in dissatisfaction deep down in his heart.

If the worst-case scenario is taken into account, and even his current hesitation is taken into account by Ai Hyperion, then Li Shubai can only admit that this guy's ability to play tricks is so great that perhaps even Otto may not be able to match her.

But, he was such a greedy person, he would never allow his Valkyrie to suffer any harm, so even if there were dangerous places ahead, even if all this was really just a trap set by Ai Yi, then as the captain, his only choice was to step into it without hesitation.

After making up his mind and preparing himself for the possibility of being backstabbed and accepting the possibility that the other person he trusted might be betrayed, Li Shubai exhaled the stagnant air that had accumulated in his lungs. He gently waved his hand, casually dispersing the virtual screen that appeared in front of him, and stared at Ai Yi's mature face with unspeakable majesty, as if facing a great enemy.

"What...what happened?" Perhaps because Li Shubai's gaze was too powerful, Ai Yi's face froze under the pressure that made the air heavier. She couldn't help but take a step back. "Captain...Captain, your eyes make Ai Yi feel a little scared."

Li Shubai raised his eyebrows. He watched Ai Yi take a step back and suddenly smiled as if he had encountered something very happy.

Then, he took a step forward, facing Ai.

"Captain... Captain?" Ai broke out in a cold sweat and could not help but take another step back. "Really, really, boys who are too tough will not be liked by girls."

"Then why are you blushing?" Li Shubai stared at Ai Yi's face and took another step forward.

"I, I don't..." Ai Yi raised her arms helplessly and patted her face which had already turned red. The data in her pupils surged like a tsunami, and bright arcs flowed through her two long braids. "Is it... that obvious?"

"Hmm." Li Shubai smiled, and was too lazy to press and pursue further, as he was obviously about to be overloaded. He stopped and said in a meaningful tone, "I saw the conditions for improving your favorability in the task you issued to me. It says that you want me to have a good date with you, right?"

"You... since you know, please stop teasing Ai Yi." Ai Yi covered her face, not daring to look at Li Shubai. She seemed to be avoiding something, and spoke quickly, "As a decent adult, you should know how to maintain a normal social distance between yourself and the opposite sex. If it were in a game, your behavior would undoubtedly lower the heroine's evaluation of you, which would directly affect the heroine's favorability towards you."

"Really?" Li Shubai tapped his fingers and called out the data screen that he had just dismissed.

Real-time favorability: 15697 (upper limit 100)

Real-time favorability: 18753 (upper limit 100)

Real-time favorability: 22991 (upper limit 100)

Real-time favorability: 29436 (upper limit 100)

Real-time favorability: 38145 (upper limit 100)

"Of course!" Ai forced herself to put down the hand covering her face, and nodded righteously with a very clear and affirmative attitude. She stretched out a finger and shook it in front of Li Shubai's eyes, "Look at the favorability data above, it must have been decreasing, and it's about to fall through the bottom, right! How can this behavior increase the favorability of the heroine? Really, Captain, you don't know how to please girls. As a male protagonist, at this time, you should follow the rhythm of the atmosphere and gradually shorten the distance with the heroine. If you approach the other party with such a tough attitude, it will definitely end up in a lonely bed in Galgame!"

"Alas, as a Gamer, you are still too young."

bed end?

Do you want to say bed end or bad end?

As a shipboard AI with built-in modules for all languages ​​in the world, are you sure your pronunciation is correct? Li Shubai tilted his head and thought to himself.

After taking a look at her, she sighed softly with a confident look on her face, as if to say "One plus one is of course equal to two. There is no truth more easy to understand than this!" Ai Yi, who was so righteous, took another look at the strategy panel, which showed that her favorability had doubled and was about to triple. She had a weird look in her eyes and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

So she herself can't see this panel?
