Arknights, but all characters are NPCs?

... ...

...

"Grass!"

W woke up.

She threw back the quilt, her hair in disarray, looked around, and realized that she was back in the real world.

After confirming this, W couldn't help but curse out loud.

Because she was in the dream world, until the last second before she left, she was still stuck at "Generation Times: 9/10".

What she was cursing was not that the next time she went to the dream world, that bastard Lu Shang would probably really call her "Miss Fluffy Ball".

What W was scolding was that she was stuck at "Generation Times: 9/10" for too long, so long that W got angry. What kind of anger? Evil anger.

Isn't this the same as "No high ○"?

W is feeling upset now.

To put it simply, Xingyu came up, but he didn't vent his emotions.

"That bastard! He definitely did it on purpose!"

"You must want me to finally be unable to bear it any longer and then beg him, right?"

"And you can't even take off my skirt——"

W was stunned.

Because she looked at the little skirt in her hand, and then looked at her long white legs...

The skirt is off?

Did you really take it off?

Why does she have to generate electricity 10 times before she can start changing clothes? It only works in the dream world? It is useless after she returns to the real world?

"Ah."

"You bastard, you didn't expect that your little trick would not work."

W laughed with gritted teeth, then...stretched out his little hand.

"Woo..."

144. Zofia: How to break the premonition of the dreamer's crime?

"That bastard did it on purpose! Luckily I'm better than him."

"Want to cheat me? No way!"

The real world, Rhode Island, conference room.

W was sitting here, vividly describing how she battled wits and courage with Lu Shang, and then her heroic deeds of finding an opportunity to turn the tables.

It seems that he has finally achieved "10/10 power generation rate" in the real world and no longer has to endure the suffering of the universe, so W looks quite happy now.

But these words made the doctor sitting next to him move his lips a few times, revealing a look as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

Under normal circumstances, W would have said something like "What are you talking about? Just say it if you have something to say. If you keep looking like you're hesitant to say something, I'll pull your hood off." and get over it with a sarcastic tone.

but no.

Because W turned around and found that not only the Doctor, but also Kal'tsit and Theresa were looking at her with subtle expressions.

Especially when they heard W say, "I was almost there! It was already 9/10, but there was not enough time, so I came back", their eyes became even more subtle.

"What's wrong? Speak one by one if you have something to say!"

Although W was still rude, his tone was somewhat guilty.

Because Theresa was also here, her words also implicated Theresa.

W really wanted to say, "Your Highness, it was you who teamed up with that bastard Lu Shang to deceive me first! I was not wrong!", but when Theresa looked over, W couldn't help but feel a little scared.

Fortunately, the doctor beside him rubbed his chin for a while, then asked directly: "You just said that you can only take off your skirt after completing "10/10 power generation times"? "

"Correct."

"And you were stuck at "9/10" for a long time, but Lu Shang said he didn't use "No High ○" on you?"

"Correct."

"And, once you return to reality, all of this will become invalid?"

"Yeah, tsk, so why are you asking these questions, hooded man?"

"It's just inferring the result based on the existing known conditions."

"What's the result?"

"There are four."

The Doctor held up four fingers.

"First, this is not a bug. This is a loophole left for you on purpose. When you go to the dream world, it will determine that your "power generation times 10/10" has an unknown error, and then start trying to fix this loophole. The simplest way to deal with it is to reset the times to zero and start the calculation from zero again."

"Second, the number of times you have been in the real world will not be accumulated in the dream world. Even if you go to the dream world again, you will still be stuck at "9/10"."

"Third, Lu Shang did it on purpose. There is a high probability that you will return to the real world every time when you are only one step away from 9/10. The reason why this rule... or setting does not apply to the real world is probably because Lu Shang is afraid that you will go crazy."

W: "..."

Although W was unhappy with the hooded man...she had to admit that the Doctor was the smartest among them.

So the three outcomes that the doctor mentioned now...are very likely.

"No, you only said three, didn't you?" W wanted to struggle: "What about the fourth result?"

"The fourth one?" The doctor put down his hand and said, "The first three possibilities, three in one."

W: "..."

"Miss, if you want to experience the scenario of getting drunk alone in a bar late at night in advance, so that when you go to the dream world, you can compete with the dreamer in wits and courage, then you can just book a bar instead of torturing me here."

The real world, Casimir, the Whip Knight's manor, Zofia's boudoir.

At this moment, Xinteleya poured another full glass of wine for her eldest daughter, Sofia, without any emotion.

Drinking won’t kill you.

Then I saw Zofia, like a noble lady, wearing a bathrobe, with her hair tied up, sitting on the bed, dangling her little feet to admire the moon, while shaking her glass of red wine -

Finally, Xinteleya couldn't help it and began to complain about this exploitative behavior.

It's late at night now?

Are the other maids asleep?

As a result, her eldest daughter, Zofia, was out of her mind. She didn't sleep or talk, and asked Xinteleya to come over and ask her to pour wine and serve her.

Miss! I'm off work, okay?

"I'll give you overtime pay later."

"Give me money? Oh, that's no problem. Miss, what else do you want to drink? I'll go to the bar and grab some for you now."

Sofia: “…”

You are really a maid...

Ugh.

Zofia just glanced at Cintrea who was talking excitedly but her expression didn't change at all. She even looked at him with a look like "You said that, but you haven't given me any money yet? And what about later? God knows when that later is. Are you just making promises for me?"

"Ah."

Zofia couldn't help but chuckle and took another sip of her wine.

Yes, Zofia did it on purpose.

I want you, the little maid, who was eating popcorn and watching a movie in the dream world last time.

You, a little maid, didn't come to rescue your eldest daughter when she was in danger, but instead wanted to see her suffer.

You, the little maid, didn't resist when being pushed down by the dream master. You even held me down, so that I couldn't escape and was forced to play Jenga with you.

Before this, Sofia really didn't care about money.

Because Sofia knew very well that having money and having power are completely different things.

But now...

She experienced the happiness of rich people.

He reached out and picked up the wallet beside him. Without counting the bills in it, he pulled out a stack of bills and threw it to Xinteleya: "Your overtime pay."

"..."

This time it was Xinteleia's turn to be stunned.

ah...?

Miss, are you really going to give it to me?

So Xinteleya stepped forward, put away the stack of bills, then turned around and prepared to leave.

"Where are you going?" Zofia asked.

"I'm going to help you, young lady, and rob the bar." Xinteleya replied.

"... ..., come back to me."

Sofia seemed a little helpless, but her mood had obviously improved.

after all...

"The last time I went to the dream world, the dream master, Lu Shang, sent me a crime warning in person."

Zofia put down the red wine glass in her hand, looked at Xinteleya, and said: "Tell me, for this kind of scenario...how can I break the situation?"

"My suggestion is that you put on some beautiful makeup, preferably the kind that looks like a married woman, and then wear a pretty little skirt, preferably black stockings and high heels, and then put on a slightly weak and lonely expression on your face."

"... ..., are you really teaching me how to break the impasse? If I really do as you say, will it work?"

"Yes." Xinteleya nodded seriously: "This way, the dream master will be more gentle when he picks up your body next time, young lady."

Sophia: “?”

The situation is still unresolved, so just go to bed, miss.

There is everything in the dream.

145. That dream master...could he have been here from the beginning?

You, the maid, are not sensible at all.

I asked you to help me with advice and help me solve my problems, not to be sarcastic and try to overthrow my superiors.

There is everything in the dream...Why don’t you say that there is also a dreamer in the dream?

This made Sofia so angry that she immediately drove Hinterea to the next room.

Anyway, Sofia lives alone in such a big villa, so she can choose any empty room. When the time comes, the two of them will travel to the dream world together, and it will be good for them to take care of each other.

Zofia didn't care whether Xinteleya understood her good intentions or not. After driving Xinteleya away, Zofia drank the wine in the glass, yawned, and lay comfortably on the soft big bed.

"I know..."

Zofia closed her eyes and muttered softly to herself as she tried to fall asleep.

"The maid in Hintlaya told me a long time ago that no matter how much preparation we make, it will be useless because others have already tried and failed."

Trying to stay awake? Sorry, that's not an option.
