CHAPTER 6: CHAPTER 6: INCREASE IN CONNECTIVITY

Immediately, Lin Qianxuan instructed the game character to take out clothes from the backpack for Chen Long’Er to change into.

The clothes were quite loose, including a mask, enough to cover Chen Long’Er’s unusual features.

After that, it was time to evade capture.

The first playthrough taught Lin Qianxuan one thing.

The pursuers from Ni Country had a high level of information control.

Almost as soon as he reached the hotel, they arrived.

This meant that the surveillance in Xugu City was visible to them.

However, Chao Li Country was not like Xuan Country, with cameras everywhere.

This place was at least twenty-five years behind Xuan Country; having surveillance everywhere was impossible.

Only some relatively upscale shops and places had surveillance.

Like the hotel area.

As long as you avoid such places, the chance of capture would be further reduced.

However, Lin Qianxuan didn’t know much about Xugu City, so it was time to ask the people from Flash Studio who invited him to Xugu City for help.

(Calling friends from Flash Studio, asking them to help find a hidden and unmonitored sanctuary, and taking Chen Long’Er there.)

Lin Qianxuan input the command and pressed space to execute it.

This command had many blank areas and was not perfect.

But the executor was a person with complete thinking, he would definitely know how to fool Flash Studio.

[You excuse that you want to visit the retro buildings of Chao Li Country for inspiration and ask Flash Studio to help find an old place without cameras to stay for two days. The owner of Flash Studio, Yan Yilin, listened earnestly to your request and quickly contacted an old district in the corner of the city for you.]

[Flash Studio’s Golden Mary drove to your location. She looked a bit surprised seeing Chen Long’Er. You falsely claimed she was a friend playing cosplay. She was skeptical but didn’t ask more and took you and Chen Long’Er to that house on Purple Flower Street.]

As the narration changed, a woman in a light pink hoodie, wearing blue headphones and black-framed glasses, drove over on the screen.

She looked about twenty-two or twenty-three years old.

This was Golden Mary, a programmer at Flash Studio, responsible for the entire program structure of "Love of Daily Life."

In terms of computer technology, she seemed quite accomplished, rumored to have graduated from a famous university in Chao Li Country.

This information was known to Lin Qianxuan through the game character.

Immediately, Golden Mary took Chen Long’Er and the game character out of the alley and headed to an old district.

Many people also lived here, but it appeared quite backward compared to the previous location of the game character.

Old utility poles were everywhere, with tangled wires crisscrossing the sky, and strange graffiti and phone numbers all over the yellowed walls.

Golden Mary got out of the car, led the game character, and Chen Long’Er into a room on the fourth floor.

The place was indeed old but not messy.

[Golden Mary (looking nostalgic): This is Boss Yan’s old home. We used to work here.]

Lin Qianxuan was a bit surprised to find such a coincidence.

[Lin Qianxuan (sighing): You’ve really made it through your hardships, haven’t you?]

[Golden Mary (bowing): If it weren’t for your promotion, helping our game sell forty thousand copies in one go, we might have disbanded on the spot.]

[Lin Qianxuan (waving hand): The main thing is your game is excellent. I just played a minor role.]

....

After some polite conversation, Golden Mary left with a message: "Contact her anytime if you need help," and then she left.

In the old house, Lin Qianxuan first let Chen Long’Er take a bath and then rest.

She was too tense, in this state, it was hard to increase her favorability.

Soon, Chen Long’Er finished bathing and fell asleep on the bed.

Lin Qianxuan casually took two screenshots, also feeling that if she really died, it would be a pity.

Even purely out of humanitarianism, he wanted to change Chen Long’Er’s destiny and save her.

While Chen Long’Er was asleep, Lin Qianxuan manipulated the game character to take out items from the backpack.

Nothing else, just some items to increase favorability.

After doing this, he directly input the command.

(Sitting beside, waiting for Chen Long’Er to wake up.)

[You sit there admiring Chen Long’Er’s beauty, finding it more and more pleasing to the eye. Two hours later, Chen Long’Er woke up somewhat terrified.]

On the screen, Chen Long’Er suddenly woke up with an expression of some pain.

(Approach to comfort.)

[You approach and verbally comfort Chen Long’Er.]

[Chen Long’Er (worried): Can I really go back?]

[Lin Qianxuan (nodding seriously): You definitely can, I promise.]

[Upon hearing your assurance, Chen Long’Er felt slightly reassured.]

[Current String of Destiny connection is 42%.]

Lin Qianxuan’s mouth slightly curled up.

He had quietly formed a character portrait of Chen Long’Er in his mind.

Overall, she seemed very innocent, with some understanding of the outside world, but definitely not much.

She had a certain vigilance, but limited.

After the game character shared Talent with her, the Dragon Bloodline and Xuan Country identity made her almost unreservedly trust the game character as one of her own.

So, conquering Chen Long’Er was almost effortless.

The only issue was that there were only three days to complete the conquest.

During these three days, besides increasing Chen Long’Er’s favorability, he also had to avoid possible enemies.

Of course, it might not only be avoidance but also combat.

[Lin Qianxuan (smiling): Let me show you a magic trick.]

[Chen Long’Er (puzzled): A magic trick?]

(Perform a magic trick with a rose for Chen Long’Er.)

With swift movements, the game character took out a stick and lit it up. Amidst Chen Long’Er’s confusion, it suddenly transformed into a rose with a flick of the wrist.

[Chen Long’Er’s strong dynamic vision saw all your actions, but she was still captivated by the rose.]

Lin Qianxuan raised an eyebrow, feeling somewhat mistaken.

Thankfully, the effect remains.

[Chen Long’Er (gazing): Is this a rose?]

[Lin Qianxuan (nodding): Yes, do you like it?]

[Chen Long’Er (nodding): I’ve only seen it on television.]

Lin Qianxuan placed his hand over his heart, feeling an inexplicable heaviness.

Was he truly deceiving the feelings of such a girl?

No, it wasn’t deception; it was rescue!!

[Lin Qianxuan (smiling): It’s yours.]

(Hands the rose to Chen Long’Er.)

[Chen Long’Er (takes it with surprise, then sniffs it): Thank you!!]

[The girl, who had lived a life imprisoned, was seeing a rose for the first time, and although it was fake, she felt joyful.]

[Current String of Destiny connection level: 46%.]

On the screen, Chen Long’Er held a rose made of soap in both hands, with a blissful smile on her face.

The girl’s innocent and carefree expression was somewhat breathtaking.

Lin Qianxuan instinctively captured a screenshot.

[Lin Qianxuan (smiling): Are you hungry? I’ll cook something.]

[Chen Long’Er (shyly nodding): Yes.]

Previously, when Golden Mary visited, she had brought some vegetables and meat and placed them in the refrigerator.

Lin Qianxuan could now use them just fine.

(Heads to the kitchen to cook.)

As an orphan, Lin Qianxuan’s culinary skills were fairly decent.

After all, cooking for himself could save quite a bit of money.

Of course, that was in the past; nowadays, he mostly ate out or occasionally ordered takeout, rarely cooking for himself.

[Chen Long’Er (getting up): I’ll help too!]

[Lin Qianxuan (nodding): Okay.]

[Displaying your cooking skills, Chen Long’Er also helped in the kitchen. Surprisingly, she was quite skilled, and you quickly finished cooking the meal together.]

The scene shifts.

On the dining table was a plate of stir-fried green peppers and meat, a dish of fried vegetables, and a bowl of soup.

Lin Qianxuan and Chen Long’Er each held a bowl and sat opposite each other, smiling as they began to dine.

Chen Long’Er’s eating habits were somewhat reckless, while Lin Qianxuan’s was relatively refined.

(Serves Chen Long’Er more food.)

Though Chen Long’Er didn’t seem in need of more food, the gesture was still appropriate.

[You served Chen Long’Er a piece of stir-fried green pepper and meat, including some green peppers she didn’t particularly like, but she ate them anyway, recalling something that made her expression slightly melancholic.]

[Current String of Destiny connection level: 50%.]

Lin Qianxuan raised an eyebrow. Despite certainly increasing her affection, it seemed different than he expected.

Unfortunately, he didn’t know much about Chen Long’Er’s background; otherwise, he could strategize better.

But such matters are different from asking directly versus guiding Chen Long’Er to share.

At least now isn’t the time for Chen Long’Er to reveal her feelings.

(After finishing the meal, takes out a headband and hands it to Chen Long’Er.)

On the screen, Lin Qianxuan took out a purple headband and gave it to Chen Long’Er.

Gift-giving, a common technique for increasing affection.

[Chen Long’Er (curious): Is this for me?]

[Lin Qianxuan (smiling and nodding): I asked Golden Mary to buy it for you. Let me help you put it on.]

[Chen Long’Er (shyly nodding): Okay.]

(Helps Chen Long’Er put on the headband.)

[The gift you gave to the girl delighted her, but she appreciated even more the feeling of you personally putting it on her.]

[Current String of Destiny connection level: 54%.]

The purple headband restrained Chen Long’Er’s slightly tousled hair, the strands falling onto her shoulders, giving her a more composed look.

[Chen Long’Er (curiously looking at you): Does it look nice?]

[Lin Qianxuan (without hesitation nodding): So beautiful! I’ve never seen such a pretty girl!]

[Chen Long’Er (blushing): My dad said that boys who say such things to me are all liars.]

[Lin Qianxuan (shakes his head): I’m not a liar; everything I say is sincere.]

[Chen Long’Er (looks down at her claws and scales, slightly hesitating): Are these pretty too?]

[Lin Qianxuan (nodding): Of course, you’re a descendant of dragons; these are your most unique and beautiful features.]

[The girl was made shy and delighted by your praise.]

[Current String of Destiny connection level: 55%.]

[Lin Qianxuan (takes a textbook from his backpack): You don’t know Mystic Text yet; I’ll teach you Mystic Text.]

[Chen Long’Er (excited): Can you really?]

[Lin Qianxuan (smiling and nodding): Of course, I can!]

When Lin Qianxuan received the memory information, he thought of this approach to increase affection, so he added a note in his notebook to bring a universal basic Mystic Text textbook.

(Dedicates himself to teaching Chen Long’Er Mystic Text.)
