I really don't want to date a girl addicted to the internet!

Asuna Nagasaki gazed at the boy's profile as he spoke, her eyes reflecting his subtle expressions.

The girl nodded as if she understood. "I see."

"By the way, are you cold?" Cheng Fei glanced at the girl's fair and shapely legs and once again marveled at the Japanese people's high tolerance for the cold.

"Me? I'm actually fine. Cheng Fei, would you like to touch me?" Nagasaki Asuna noticed his gaze, crossed one of her fair legs to look at him, and spoke casually.

Cheng Fei looked away, as if he hadn't heard her, and said, "Here, take this."

"This is?"

"Hand warmer".

"Thank you." The girl held the things in her hands.

"You're welcome."

"Cheng Fei, wanna play games tonight?"

Do you still want to play?

"of course."

"As long as you don't do anything reckless, I'm happy to play along."

"Okay~" The girl's voice was obedient and soft, "By the way, Cheng Fei."

"what?"

"Do you prefer white or black over-the-knee socks for girls?" the girl suddenly asked.

"I'm not interested in that kind of thing."

"White? Or black?" She tapped her chin with her index finger, pondered for a moment, "I'll wear black tomorrow, stay tuned."

……

That evening, Cheng Fei entered the corridor and met Nagasaki Asuna in the small square where the fountain never stopped.

This time, the limited-time mission didn't appear immediately like before. Cheng Fei wasn't flustered, after all, things don't always go smoothly.

Asuna Nagasaki immediately revealed her true nature and clung to Cheng Fei. As expected, a green warning box popped up in front of them, saying "Inappropriate game content".

It's like an unsafe live streaming room being inspected by moderators.

"Nana, what did you promise again?"

Faced with Cheng Fei's questioning, Nagasaki Asuna's eyes flickered with a smile, and she tilted her head in thought as if nothing had happened, "As expected, it doesn't work on the first floor."

Cheng Fei seemed to see the words "What can you do to me?" written all over this woman's face.

Seeing her use her usual gentle and healing smile to get away with it, Cheng Fei had an urge to pinch her face hard, but he held back.

"Please tone it down, Nana."

Cheng Fei pointed at her, and she opened her mouth and bit him, but luckily Cheng Fei was quick enough to dodge.

Cheng Fei shook his head and sighed, "I'm scared of you. Tell me, where do you want to go today?"

"Where does Cheng Fei want to take me?" The girl leaned forward towards him with her hands behind her back.

"Then the fifth floor."

As the saying goes, the bigger the waves, the more valuable the fish. If the quest is triggered on the fifth floor, the rewards will surely be even more generous.

Nagasaki Asuna chuckled, a hint of mockery in her voice, "Cheng Fei may be all serious, but deep down he really does want to steal from me—"

"Thanks for the smuggling, but I just thought the fifth floor was a bit more interesting," Cheng Fei interrupted her.

The girl nodded obediently, "Yes, there are fewer people on the fifth floor. I understand what they want to do by tricking me into going to that kind of place, but as long as it's Cheng Fei, I'm willing to do anything."

"Lie? At a time like this, please use your superhuman senses to figure out my true thoughts."

"Okay~ I'll give it a try." She first stood on tiptoe to look at Cheng Fei, then covered her forehead as if in pain, "Cheng Fei, I suddenly feel a little unwell..."

"What's wrong with you?" Cheng Fei glanced at her sideways.

"Perhaps Cheng Fei is also moldy, but since it's Cheng Fei, I'll try my best to endure it, so please don't suppress your wicked thoughts about me, just treat me as—"

"Goodbye." Cheng Fei turned and walked towards the large teleportation portal without hesitation.

Asuna Nagasaki was afraid of moldy bread, but she herself was a piece of moldy bread to the extreme, and the boy kept this in mind.

……

As they moved from the fourth to the fifth floor, Cheng Fei sensed that Nagasaki Asuna was a greater source of danger than the out-of-control machinery.

"Nana, let me emphasize again, here you can die and lose your equipment if you are not careful, which will result in a very serious loss."

"Does Cheng Fei really think I'm that immature?"

"I used to think you were very sensible, but now I realize I was wrong."

"Since Cheng Fei has said so, don't worry, I definitely won't do anything reckless. I'll wait until I'm in a safe place—"

"Even a safe place won't work, and besides, there's no truly safe place here. Please be patient until the game ends."

"The game is over, and then someone is in bed calling Cheng Fei's name and humming softly? Doesn't Cheng Fei think that's too cruel?"

"Where does the term 'humming' come from?"

"New vocabulary I recently learned online."

"When learning Chinese, I recommend reading classic literary works. Don't learn from those silly netizens online."

"I've heard of Jin Ping Mei."

"Jin Ping Mei is out of the question, Dream of the Red Chamber is more suitable."

"I've finished reading Dream of the Red Chamber."

"real or fake?"

"Excuse me, who is Daiyu, Cheng Fei's love interest?"

"Of course it's Shen Xi."

"And what about Baochai?"

"Lin Xuanqi is all better."

"what about me?"

"If possible, I hope you are Miaoyu, that female lay Buddhist who practiced Buddhism while still keeping her hair, and we can be confidants who respect each other."

"But at least I want to be Qingwen."

"Qingwen is a maid, I'm reminding you."

"Owner……"

"That's enough. From now on, don't say a word."

"Good~"

"Stop grinning and be serious."

"Yes!" He gave a crooked salute.

Cheng Fei deeply understood Shen Xi's feelings when he was with her.

The two chatted casually until they reached the fifth floor. As they passed the edge of the continent, Nagasaki Asuna stopped and looked around as if she sensed something.

"Cheng Fei, there seems to be someone over there?"

"Really? Let's go take a look."

It was nighttime in the corridor, and Cheng Fei couldn't see anything because it was too far away, but he trusted his senses.

"Cheng Fei, is this the place we visited last time?"

"Almost—Holy crap, Teacher Shen? He must be dying with his eyes wide open in disbelief."

Before them stood a silver-haired girl kneeling motionless in the snow.

The text suddenly refreshed in front of Cheng Fei's eyes.

[Time-limited task triggered]

……

73. Shen Xi died with her eyes wide open in disbelief.

In the darkness, Shen Xi knelt alone on the edge of the fifth continent, gazing up at the starry sky with her eyes wide open and unblinking, like a lifelike wax figure. The snow covering her body indicated that she had been in this state for some time.

"Shen Xi?" Nagasaki Asuna waved her hand in front of the girl's eyes, but there was no reaction. "What's wrong with her?"

"I have something to do and I'll log off temporarily," Cheng Fei guessed.

Nagasaki Asuna carefully poked Shen Xi's pretty face with her hand, "The character actually stayed in the same place. Cheng Fei, aren't you going to take this opportunity to do something? She's your beloved."

"Because she is the one I love, I must respect her."

After considering for a moment, Cheng Fei said, "I'll just push her down later."

Nagasaki Asuna looked up and chuckled, "So, 'beloved' means to destroy evidence?"

"There are very few out-of-control machines in this corner, so that she won't become an ice sculpture for others to admire."

It wasn't that Cheng Fei didn't want to take the opportunity to humiliate Shen Xi; his attention was focused on the text in front of him.

[Time-limited task triggered]

Children make choices.

[Requirement: You must be able to date multiple people simultaneously among @!AA_A#123{;return false;}, Nana_s_Na, Zzzz, and Youziyou, within 30 days.]

[Difficulty: Hahahaha]

[Staying on four boats → Strong Interaction Force Sword, and subsequent rewards]

[Playing the field with three options → All attributes at 10% off regular exchange coupon, plus lower-level rewards]

[Playing Two Games Together → Forced Unlocking of Extraordinary Ability: Stamina - Rapid Recovery]

[Strong Interaction Force Sword: The blade is made of a strong interaction force material, making it absolutely sharp and absolutely strong]

[Stamina - Rapid Recovery]

Through persistent endurance training, your physical recovery speed has surpassed human limits, making you less prone to fatigue, and your sleep time has correspondingly shortened, requiring sufficient nutritional support.

[Forced Unlock: Even if the corresponding attributes have not reached the extraordinary level, extraordinary abilities can still be exerted to a certain extent]

Cheng Fei quickly began to analyze the situation.

Ye Shuang is the toughest nut to crack. She doesn't even want to talk to Cheng Fei, so he has no idea what she's really thinking. Provoking her rashly could anger Lin Xuanqi, and he could end up being thrown to feed the fish.

The phrase "hahahaha" (a Chinese internet slang term implying a sense of dread) suggests the difficulty of the mission, likely hinting at danger.

Shen Xi and Lin Xuanqi were in a state of ambiguous distance.

Only Nagasaki Asuna can maintain the relationship unconditionally.

It's impossible for Cheng Fei to have four relationships at once, and he doesn't intend to take that kind of risk.

There's no hope of having three partners at the same time. While winning back Lin Xuanqi, you can also win over Shen Xi by coaxing or deceiving her. If you're exposed later, the worst outcome is that you'll be fed fish, and the best outcome is that Shen Xi's favorability will plummet.

It's more realistic to have two options at once. You have to choose between Shen Xi and Lin Xuanqi, especially Lin Xuanqi. Pursuing her now won't be life-threatening unless something unexpected happens.

Therefore, the answer is to aim for second place and then chase third.

Thinking of this, Cheng Fei raised his head.

Nagasaki Asuna was squatting next to Shen Xi, doing something.

"Nana, what are you doing?"

"Is Cheng Fei done daydreaming? I feel like Shen Xi is too lonely, so I'm making friends with her."

"To be friends?"

Nagasaki Asuna built two round snowmen that were less than calf-high next to Shen Xi, and they held hands and looked up at the starry sky together.
