The girl reached up and touched the cheek of Obito, whom Wu Chen was playing, her expression pained. "Does it still hurt?"
Wu Chen answered instinctively, "It doesn't hurt anymore."
"Ah, actually, I'm not really..."
Wu Chen suddenly realized there was an ethical issue here. He was the person playing Obito, not the real Obito, and Rin Nohara had clearly mistaken him for the real Obito.
Wasn't Wu Chen NTRing Obito while wearing his face?
Although it felt oddly satisfying, Wu Chen didn't think it was right, so he wanted to come clean.
But before he could say it, Rin Nohara shook her head and cut him off. "I know. This is another world, and I died back in the original one."
"But none of that matters! As long as you're still Obito, that's enough! I'm so happy I get to see you again!!"
With that, she stepped forward and gently embraced Wu Chen.
Uh...
Wu Chen didn't know what to do.
He wanted to push her away, but his body refused.
It wasn't that he was lusting after Rin Nohara's body. Rather, the Obito he was playing seemed unwilling to push Rin away.
He muttered silently to himself, Obito, it's not that I wanted to NTR you. Rin made the first move, and you're doing this yourself. It has nothing to do with me!
As he enjoyed the embrace, Wu Chen didn't forget why he had summoned Rin Nohara. He sent his consciousness into the system space and checked Obito's Roleplay Progress.
[22%]
Whoa! It had jumped ten percentage points!
It hadn't shot straight up to one hundred percent as Wu Chen had fantasized, but a ten-percentage-point increase in Roleplay Progress for one million was already an enormous benefit.
After all, money was easy to get, but Roleplay Progress was hard to raise!
Wait, in that case, if he played Obito and dated Rin, wouldn't that raise his Roleplay Progress?
The thought suddenly occurred to Wu Chen.
But he dismissed it a moment later.
Once was enough for NTR and the like. If he kept going, Wu Chen couldn't get past it in his own heart.
A few minutes later, Rin Nohara pulled away from Wu Chen's embrace, her pretty face slightly flushed, as though she were shy.
If it had been the original Obito, he probably wouldn't have been able to get a single fart out in this situation. It would have been awkward as hell.
But Wu Chen wasn't Obito, and he didn't have any particular feelings for Rin Nohara, so he spoke up at once. "Nohara... ahem, I mean, Rin, you just said you knew this wasn't the Shinobi World? And you also knew you were already dead? What's going on?"
Rin Nohara puffed out her cheeks, looking utterly adorable. "Don't call me Nohara. Obito, if you're so distant with me, I'll get mad!"
"As for your question, I don't know exactly what happened either. It's just that some information suddenly appeared in my mind, including my circumstances, the world I'm in, and my mission."
"I see!" Wu Chen nodded. "So you know this is the Marvel Universe, and you know you're already dead. Then what's your mission?"
Hearing Wu Chen's question, Rin Nohara's face reddened again. "My mission... my mission is to do as you say, Obito. No matter what you ask me to do, I'll do it."
Wu Chen: "!!!"
This...
Looking at Rin's enticing appearance, her pretty face bright red, a lolicon in his place might have had her giving birth to an adorable baby ten months later.
After all, with words like that and Rin's looks, even Wu Chen, who wasn't a lolicon, thought she was cute.
That said, the summoning card was pretty thoughtful!
It informed summoned characters of the various circumstances and made them absolutely obedient to his orders. This really was a very worthwhile purchase.
Over the next ten-odd minutes, Wu Chen chatted with Rin for a while longer, raising Obito's Roleplay Progress another three percentage points. Then he watched Rin turn into a streak of blue light and finally change back into a blue card.
The reason chatting with Rin had raised Obito's Roleplay Progress was that Wu Chen had been holding her hand while they talked.
He had also wanted to test his earlier theory: whether being in a relationship with Rin would raise his Roleplay Progress.
To his surprise, it actually worked.
What a shame he couldn't get past it in his own heart!
Wu Chen smacked his lips, but inwardly he thought, If Obito's Roleplay Progress really is too hard to raise, I'll resort to this as a last measure!
Obito, don't blame me. I'm helping you fulfill your dream!
Holding Rin's card in his hand, he saw its information appear.
[Summoning card · Rin Nohara. Effect: Summons Rin Nohara upon use. Duration: twenty minutes. Uses: (0/1). Rechargeable at a cost of 900,000 yuan per use.]
Well, look at that! A 100,000-yuan discount!
Wu Chen curled his lip and put Rin's card in a drawer alongside the Chakra Paper.
He wasn't worried about anyone else seeing the two items, because in anyone else's hands, they were ordinary paper and an ordinary card. Only in Wu Chen's hands could they serve their true purposes.
At that moment, the [Weapon forging/repair] option had finished.
After Wu Chen clicked on it, his hand suddenly grew heavy. A metal gourd-shaped fan more than half his height and a length of chain as thick as a thumb appeared in his hand.
A smile spread across Wu Chen's face, and he finally felt at ease.
