Honkai, why do you only play high-end games?

Lin Wei seemed a little embarrassed. Eden's temperament was so good that she always felt inferior to him involuntarily.

Mei Raiden was a proper young lady. Even though she fell into poverty later on, she was from a family of scholars who had been well-dressed and well-fed since childhood. She had seen the world, so naturally she could chat with Eden.

What is a rough guy like me...

(°-°〃)

"Haha, don't be too modest, my friend. Although not everyone can become a musician, playwright or critic, everyone has the right to appreciate art, right? After all, the beauty contained in art is the common pursuit of everyone's heart."

Eden's voice was always soft and pleasant, and he smiled gently at Lin Wei.

"It's fate that we're together here, so would you like a drink?"

"It's better to obey than to be respectful~"

Lin Wei smiled, no longer polite, and sat down.

"I can't drink much, please don't laugh at me, Miss Eden."

"Mr. Lin Wei, you are too polite. Drinking is just for entertainment. Just enjoy yourself. Don't force yourself."

Eden picked up a wine glass, added a few ice cubes, poured in half a glass of brandy, and then casually handed it to Lin Wei.

Although her movements were casual, her every move was elegant and engraved in her bones.

Then she poured herself the same glass, shook it gently in her hand, carefully appreciated the subtle collision of ice cubes and ripples in the wine, then raised her head and drank it all.

The blush on her cheeks became even more intense, and her delicate face was like a blooming peony, seven parts graceful and luxurious, and three parts lazy and leisurely.

Lin Wei took small sips instead of drinking it all in one gulp like Eden.

To be honest, he still couldn't get used to the taste of the wine, and couldn't help but underestimate it in his heart, is this stuff really that delicious?

And, more importantly, he doesn't want such tragic accidents as "falling down after one cup" to happen again!

(ノへ￣,)

It’s embarrassing just to think about it.

Eden smiled, not forcing himself, and not thinking that his treasured wine was wasted. He started chatting with Lin Wei.

"When I walked in just now, I noticed that your brows were full of fatigue, but now you are much better. Ah, I'm so happy for you~"

Eden smiled, drunkenly, raised his glass again, congratulated Lin Wei, and then drank it gracefully.

This guy can really drink. Lin Wei felt helpless.

"Being trained by Hua and Ying every day is really tiring. But after exiting the memory device, the fatigue quickly disappeared."

Lin Wei didn't mind chatting with Eden, and she didn't mind joking with her.

"It's just that the stick in Hua's hand is getting thicker and thicker. It used to be a thin stick, then it became a thicker stick, and now it's a baton used by police to suppress riots. I say, Eden, your paradise on earth really has everything..."

"Haha, maybe it's another treasure that Padu collected from somewhere? She always has this magical ability to give us unexpected surprises in corners that we ignore and in ways we can't imagine."

"Yeah, it's even more surprising when you swing it on your body..."

Lin Wei couldn't help gritting her teeth when she thought about how Hua beat her every day.

"Ah, my friend, Hua is like this. She is persistent, serious, and hardworking. Although her brilliance is restrained, it is still dazzling. Hua feels that it is her responsibility to train you into a qualified warrior, and she will definitely do her best to do it. It's just that, hehe, the process will inevitably be a little difficult."

"I know, and I'm very grateful to her."

One-on-one tutoring from the youth version of the Red Kite Immortal. Others want this treatment but don’t have it!

"In fact, I also know that training me is a very troublesome thing for Hua. After all, I guess you didn't expect that there would be a 'successor' as weak as me."

Lin Wei shook the wine glass, took a sip, and then laughed at himself with a bitter face.

It’s so undrinkable!

"Ah, how should I put it? It's really unexpected."

Eden's smile was extremely elegant, and her beautiful wine-red eyes looked at Lin Wei curiously.

"After all, even with your weak external power, you still achieved the mythical feat of 'defeating the Herrscher', didn't you?"

"Weaker"? Eden, you are being very tactful...

Lin Wei shook her head.

"Defeating the Herrscher? Maybe that's objectively true. But as for me, I always feel that I'm just bringing a lost child home..."

"So, this is why you came to this paradise?"

"Yes. After all, Ling is a good kid, isn't she?"

"Ah, you are right, my friend. We should all be grateful to you..."

Eden murmured in a chanting tone, raised his glass to celebrate once more, and then drank it all in one gulp, drunken, as if he had suddenly fallen into some memories, soothing some sorrow.

The vinyl record still hums a soothing song.

That was a style of music that Lin Wei had never heard before. It was art from an era that had been forgotten.

Lin Wei poured the last bit of wine in the glass into his mouth, swallowed it, said goodbye to Eden and left.

Eden said goodbye to Lin Wei drunkenly, then closed his eyes again, as if he was immersed in the music, or as if he was immersed in the past.

Lin Wei pushed the door open carefully. The room he usually slept in was in the other direction.

"Hey, Lin Wei, how are you getting along with Eden?"

After turning a corner, I saw a pink-haired girl sitting on a bench and greeting me with a smile. Who else could it be but Alicia?

"He looks drunk. Do you want to pay attention to him?"

Lin Wei laughed it off but rolled his eyes in his heart, why are you everywhere!

"Hehe, don't worry. Although Eden is cute when he's drunk, he's not to the point where he needs special care, right?"

Alicia winked playfully, not worried about Eden at all.

"But I'm drunk~"

Lin Wei had a blank expression on his face. If you were to deal with someone who was good at taking advantage of others, you had to ruthlessly reject him.

"Really? Let me see. Oh! Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Upon hearing this, Alysia came closer and first took a close look at Lin Wei's face, then sniffed with her small nose and was immediately shocked.

"Really? Don't walk alone when you're drunk. What if you accidentally fall? You're such a worry! Come, I'll help you go to bed. Be good, don't be afraid. Tell me which room is yours?"

Alicia held Lin Wei's arm and helped him to rest with a worried and concerned look on her face, muttering to herself,

"Hurry up, go to bed obediently. Remember, don't talk in your sleep, and don't let me accidentally hear any little secrets!"

“…Thanks for the reminder!”

Lin Wei couldn't help but roll her eyes, you really don't hide it.

"Oops, I let it slip by accident. It's just a little girl's little thought, don't mind it, okay?"

Alicia giggled and hugged Lin Wei towards the room. She watched him go to bed and sleep well, then covered Lin Wei with a quilt considerately. She carefully watched him close his eyes and his breathing become even, then she tiptoed out of the room and turned off the light in the room with a "click".

After a while, Lin Wei opened his eyes and sat up from the bed with an expressionless face.

Start taking off your clothes.

Are you kidding! How can I take off my clothes when Alicia was watching me?

How can you sleep without taking off your clothes?!

"Ah! Really, why didn't you even say hello?"

A girl screamed from the bedside.

"Fuck!"

Lin Wei was also startled by the pink-haired girl in front of him.

Didn't you go out?!

It’s pitch dark and scary, you know?

You are a hooligan, do you know that?!

Lin Wei looked at Alicia with a smirk on her face, and watched her reluctantly leave the room. With a "click", the door closed.

The world is quiet, and I can finally sleep well...

But Lin Wei found that she couldn't sleep...

I always feel that the room is eerie, and I always feel like I can hear someone breathing next to me.

Every few minutes, I couldn't help but open my eyes and look around to see if Alicia would appear here stealthily.

Look once, no, be at ease for a few minutes.

After a while, I felt uneasy again and couldn't help but open my eyes and look again...

It goes on and on, and I can't even get any sleep!

(╯‵ ′)╯︵┻━┻

the next day--

"Good morning. Did you have a good rest last night? Why do you have such dark circles under your eyes?"

As always, the first person I met was Alicia. She was smiling brightly as usual, as if nothing had happened last night, and then she looked at Lin Wei with surprise.

Lin Wei, whose head was still groggy, looked at Alicia expressionlessly without saying a word.

Guess what the reason is?

………………

"I feel like you're not in good shape today. Is there something wrong?"

As soon as they met, Hua noticed that Lin Wei looked a little unwell and asked in confusion.

"It's Alicia..."

Lin Wei weakly told Hua what happened last night, including the fact that she was so suspicious that she didn't sleep well the whole night.

"..."

Hua was somewhat speechless. After considering his words, he spoke:

"Alisa, she is not so interested in every successor. Maybe there is something in you that strongly attracts her? Don't worry, she has no ill will towards you."

"I know……"

Lin Wei nodded. He knew that Alicia had no ill will towards him, but he still felt very wronged.

I am not a Herrscher, nor a beautiful girl, and I don’t have any horns on my head. Why are you so interested in me, Alicia?

What is it that you like about me? Can't I change it?

Lin Wei was puzzled.

He didn't even know why he resisted getting along with Alicia.

To be fair, Alicia was not bad to me and had no ill will towards me, and I really liked her.

But why do I always feel uncomfortable when I am with her?

Lin Wei was also puzzled.

"Okay, cheer up and start today's training. It's just a little fatigue. Use your perseverance to overcome it. After all, the enemy on the battlefield will not give you the opportunity to be lazy."

I have to say that when Hua preaches, he does have a very old-fashioned temperament.

Lin Wei did not object. He was not going to use this as an excuse to be lazy, he was not that delicate.

Hua nodded, quite satisfied with Lin Wei's pragmatic attitude.

"Next, I will slowly demonstrate some combat techniques to you. Don't rush for success. You still have a lot of time. Just master these little by little. The most urgent thing is to lay a solid foundation. Remember, stick to your original intention and don't waver!"

Lin Wei trains very seriously every day. He knows very well that this is a world where technology and supernatural powers coexist and complement each other. If he remains an "ordinary person", he will sooner or later encounter unsolvable dangers in this world.

Therefore, train, exercise, and lay a solid foundation. Don't be lazy, don't rely on luck, and don't be perfunctory.

Having the paradise of the past as his "novice village" and the heroes of the previous civilization as his instructors and teachers is an opportunity that allows him to quickly make up for his shortcomings, and Lin Wei cherishes it very much and is very clear-headed.

Sooner or later, I will leave here. Before I leave here, if I can make some progress, I will be able to have an easier time in the real world.

"Boss Lin Wei! Boss Lin Wei!"
