Liu Zheng patted his shoulder and said.

French Plane Tree, Sea Girl, Guo Koutangzi, Fei Shibu... Each one of them is tsundere, and each one is prouder than the last.

"And you still managed to win them all over, Brother Zheng, you're amazing!"

Ace looked at him in awe.

"Hmm... just think of it that way. Here, this is Ah Bao's certificate of rare species."

Liu Zheng couldn't be bothered to explain anymore.

"Alright. Here's its citizen ID card."

Ace handed him a card that looked very much like a real-life health insurance card.

Liu Zheng glanced at it, saw that everything but the photo and number were gibberish, and casually stuffed it in his pocket.

"Brother Zheng, do you have time now?"

After discussing business, Ace asked eagerly.

"About two and a half hours."

He glanced at his phone and said.

There were still three hours left until the end of the holiday, and he needed to leave half an hour as a buffer.

"That's enough, that's enough, we can at least finish one ending."

Ace said hurriedly.

"Then let's play. But let me make this clear, I can't guarantee completion, and when the time is up, I must return to the restaurant."

Liu Zheng laid down the rules first.

"No problem."

The two entered the clinic, and Ace greeted Dr. Nile River before eagerly taking out the game console.

The console looked similar to a real-life PSP, but with some differences in buttons and symbols.

"Brother Zheng, can you release spiritual power?"

Ace asked.

"No."

"Then can you perform a Yin God's astral projection?"

Ace asked again.

"Brother Pai, just stop asking, I can only swing a knife and that's it."

Liu Zheng shrugged and said.

"No worries, I can't either, but there's another way."

Ace opened the back of the game console and pulled out two data cables.

"Come on, Brother Zheng, lower your head. It might hurt a bit later, but it's normal, you'll get used to it."

"Why do you sound like some perverted scientist?"

He squinted and said.

"Hehe, at most I'm a perverted otaku scientist."

Ace snickered.

"You second gens are scary, either yuri or perverted. Give it to me, I'll do it myself."

Liu Zheng took the data cable and inserted it into his temple.

The stabbing pain of the foreign object entering his flesh stimulated his nerves, and his spirit felt a slight discomfort.

"It's normal not to be used to it initially, but once you get moving, it'll feel good."

Ace comforted.

"That comfort doesn't make anyone feel better. Alright, let's start."

Liu Zheng said helplessly.

I used to be a substitute player in reality, and now in Metropolis, I still have to be a substitute, and it's for a galgame, laughable.

His Hell's Game feels like a pure ARPG, and it's the kind with lots of branching tasks and extremely high difficulty, one of those god-forsaken creations.

Who knows what other Hell's Game players are playing, there's probably no chosen one who gets to play a casual simulation game, right?

Probably not, definitely not, absolutely not!

"Then I'll start now, okay?"

Ace pressed the start button.

With a jolt of electricity, a new scene appeared before Liu Zheng's eyes.

In a somewhat messy room, a girl in a strap dress sat on the bed, smiling at him.

The style of the room and the girl was somewhere between realism and animation, more exaggerated than reality but not as outrageous as animation, at least her pupils weren't larger than her nose.

"Thank you, Bill. If you hadn't accompanied me to driving school, I might never have gotten my license."

The girl spoke.

"Please respond to Yumiko's actions, with an answer under a hundred words, and actions not exceeding ten seconds."

A line of glowing text appeared above the girl's head.

"If Yumiko is willing, I can accompany you to many more places."

After thinking for a moment, Liu Zheng said gently.

"Gross, Bill, why do you sound so greasy?"

Yumiko said with disdain.

"Yumiko feels uncomfortable with your response, goodwill decreased by one heart."

With the sound of a prompt, a red jewel heart appeared above Yumiko's head and shattered into pieces.

"Yumiko's goodwill is at zero, game over."

The prompt sounded mercilessly.

After another jolt, Liu Zheng returned to reality.

"Brother Zheng, why are you out already?"

Ace asked in confusion.

"The game failed."

"Huh? No way."

Ace's eyes widened.

"Haven't played in a while, a little rusty, let's start another round."

Liu Zheng said expressionlessly.

Great, this game successfully ignited his competitive spirit.

"Alright~"

Feeling his fighting spirit, Ace was also quite pleased.

He pressed a button, and Yumiko once again appeared before Liu Zheng's eyes.

"Thank you, Bill. If you hadn't accompanied me to driving school, I might never have gotten my license."

Yumiko said.

"You better get it straight, woman. It wasn't me accompanying you to driving school; it was me pushing you to go. From now on, you're my personal driver, and I won't allow anyone else in your back seat, got it?"

Liu Zheng lifted her chin with a finger and stared into her eyes.

"Bill..."

Yumiko's face turned bright red.

Just when Liu Zheng thought she was about to shyly confess, Yumiko grabbed his finger and tossed it aside.

"I hate it when people talk to me like that. Did you forget? You don't care about my feelings at all, so our relationship ends here."

Yumiko glared and said.

"Yumiko feels uncomfortable with your response, goodwill decreased by one heart."

The jewel heart shattered again.

"Fine, fine, nice guy doesn't work, dominant CEO doesn't work, I want to see what type she likes. Ace, start another round."

Without waiting for Ace to speak, Liu Zheng said directly.

"Alright."

Of course, Ace was more than willing.

A button press, and the game restarted.

"Thank you, Bill. If you hadn't accompanied me to driving school, I might never have gotten my license."

Yumiko said.

"No need to thank me, I wasn't up to much anyway. You can accompany me when I learn to drive in the future."

Liu Zheng smiled.

"So you only accompanied me because you had nothing else to do, I see. In the future, you should find other things to kill time with."

Yumiko's face instantly turned cold.

"Yumiko feels uncomfortable with your response, goodwill decreased by one heart."

"Gah, damn it!"

Seeing the shattered jewel heart, he cursed outright.

"Brother Zheng, calm down, have a beer."

Ace eagerly handed over a glass of honey beer.

"Is this Yumiko possessed by Hakimi? Can't say anything right."

Liu Zheng accepted the beer and drank it in one gulp.

"If it wasn't this hard, I wouldn't have asked for your help, Brother Zheng."

Ace said.

"Then you got the right guy. Restart!"

He said coldly.

"Alright!"

Ace started the game again.

"Thank you, Bill. If you hadn't accompanied me to driving school, I might never have gotten my license."

Yumiko said.

"Hmm."

Liu Zheng stared at her for two seconds and responded coldly.

"Why is your response so cold? You didn't really want to accompany me, did you? Fine, I'll never ask you for help again."

Yumiko said, pouting.

"Yumiko feels sad about your response, goodwill decreased by one heart."

"Oh, damn Sunny's mother!"

He clenched his tentacles.

If Yumiko were standing in front of Liu Zheng right now, he'd surely let her know what real sadness is.

"Uh, Brother Zheng, should we keep going? Or take a break?"

Ace cautiously asked, seeing his grim expression.

"Continue! Even if I have to use my leave request today, I will finish this damn game."

Liu Zheng said fiercely.

"Okay."

Ace pressed the button to start again.

"Thank you, Bill. If you hadn't accompanied me to driving school, I might never have gotten my license."

Yumiko said once more.

"Don't mention it, I didn't have anything better to do anyway. I get it, in the future you should just find something else to pass the time."

Yumiko feels discontent with your response, goodwill decreased by one heart.

"Damn it, Sunny!"

Watching the shattered heart gem, he cursed outright.

Had Yumiko appeared in front of Liu Zheng now, he'd show her what true sadness meant.

"Um, Brother Zheng, should we start again? Do you want to take a break?"

"No, I'm going to use up all my leave if I have to beat this stupid game today."

Liu Zheng said fiercely.

"Alright~"

Ace was all too willing.

With a button press, Yumiko appeared before Liu Zheng once more.

"Thank you, Bill. If you hadn't accompanied me to driving school, I might never have gotten my license."

Yumiko said again.

"Did you get it? Because I hammered it into your head!"

This time, Liu Zheng didn't even have to think about it.

Yumiko was taken aback, staring at the ground reluctantly.

As soon as she opened her mouth, another beep sounded.

"Yumiko is feeling shocked and confused. Please provide a more suitable response next time, or face negative effects."

"It's always something with you, Yumiko! Ace, one more time!"

His perseverance shocks Ace, who can't believe how stubborn Liu Zheng is being.

"You got it, let's go again~"

Ace agreed eagerly, hitting the start button.

Yumiko appeared in front of Liu Zheng again.
