Chapter 141

Cecilia gently comforted Kiana, having also been startled. Fortunately, they were both unharmed. They hadn't even met the Second Herrscher yet, and Cecilia herself wouldn't forgive herself if any casualties occurred. Looking at Kiana and Shen Gonglin, Cecilia made a decision in her heart. They were outsiders to begin with, and this was her mission, so of course she had to complete it herself.

"Exhausted? Well, although he keeps saying he likes to stay up late, he actually goes to bed on time almost every day. It's probably time for him to go to bed by now... I don't know what came over me just now. Maybe seeing this diary reminded me of things from the past. Like the child in the diary, I was separated from my mother when I was very young, so I can understand that feeling, the emptiness in my heart... helplessness."

Kiana gently touched Shen Gonglin's forehead, and with her caresses, the sleeping Shen Gonglin gradually calmed down. Seeing him like this, Kiana finally felt relieved. Thankfully, Shen Gonglin was alright. Reassured, Kiana slowly told Cecilia about her feelings. She had never been with her mother since she was a child, and now even her stinky old man was nowhere to be found. Fortunately, she had her friends by her side; otherwise, Kiana didn't know how she would have been able to cope. But even so, in her heart, she longed to be with her mother forever.

"Poor child..."

Sensing the sadness in Kiana's words, Cecilia reached out and embraced her. A warm feeling instantly spread throughout Kiana 'Kiana body, causing the girl to stiffen slightly. This embrace while she was still conscious left her feeling somewhat bewildered, yet the warm and reassuring feeling was somewhat addictive. Held in Cecilia's arms, Kiana nervously wanted to hug back, but as she reached out, she felt a pang of fear. Was she being too...?

"Don't be shy, Kiana. Just rest in my arms. You can learn from Shen Gonglin when this happens. When I carried you two to bed, he held on to me without any hesitation. It took me a lot of effort to get him to lie down properly. So you can do the same and be as cute as you want with me."

Gently comforting Kiana, Cecilia held the girl's small body tightly in her arms. She was reliable in battle, but in this situation, she was just a little girl who needed care. She would take on the task of caring for her.

"Hmph, that stinky guy, he's too lucky. Lady Cecilia, you don't need to spoil him like that. He's just a spoiled brat, a complete idiot."

So Shen Gonglin had already hugged her mother. Kiana was quite unhappy that he had beaten her to it. This was her mother! She hadn't even had a chance to hug her yet, and Shen Gonglin had taken advantage of her. With that thought in mind, Kiana didn't hesitate to reach out and hug Cecilia. She couldn't let her mother be fooled by Shen Gonglin. He was good at using his seemingly harmless appearance to deceive women, and many girls had already fallen for it. Kiana didn't want her mother to fall for Shen Gonglin's tricks, even though there was a big age gap between them... This was Shen Gonglin, after all, and she couldn't be careless.

In some ways, Kiana still has faith in Shen Gonglin's abilities; she's absolutely top-notch at being charming.

"Really? But I think he's quite cute. Besides, Kiana is probably one of the people who dotes on him, so even if he really turns into a bad guy, it's your responsibility, Kiana."

Seeing Kiana's mood gradually recover, Cecilia couldn't help but tease her. She had a good impression of both Shen Gonglin and Kiana, especially Cecilia, whose words carried a faint hint of jealousy. As someone with experience, Kiana quickly figured out the reason. She also had a general idea of the relationship between Shen Gonglin and Kiana, having witnessed it herself. Cecilia to spoiling Shen Gonglin. However, Shen Gonglin seemed oblivious, as she Kiana felt the same way.

"What? I didn't spoil him at all. Cecilia, you don't know, a lot of people spoil him, but I didn't. Really, they're the ones who spoiled Shen Gonglin. He's so willful now."

After hearing Cecilia's words Kiana couldn't help but speak up to defend herself, saying that it was Mei and the Class President who usually spoiled Shen Gonglin, and she hadn't indulged him at all.

"Alright, alright, then wake him up now, we still have a mission to complete."

Cecilia smiled at Kiana hesitated. Should she wake him now?

"Well, how about we look for him together? He's probably not of any use, so we might as well just let him sleep like this..."

Looking at Cecilia's smiling face, Kiana realized that she didn't seem to have anything to say. Was she... was she being fawned over by Shen Gonglin?

Chapter Forty-Four: Magic Spells

"Alright, alright, but Kiana, just a friendly reminder: it's fine if you like to spoil him, but it's best not to go too far. If you spoil him too much, he'll become arrogant."

Cecilia understood everything perfectly. With a knowing smile on her face, she knew Kiana's feelings perfectly well. It seemed that Kiana really liked her. But Shen Gonglin certainly had the qualities to be liked. If she weren't in her current situation, she would probably be like Kiana. It was a pity that she was already married... Tsk, why did she suddenly regret getting married so early?

"Being arrogant because of favor... Lady Cecilia, what does this mean?"

Kiana didn't understand such a complicated idiom. She looked at Cecilia with confusion, while she was still unwilling to admit that she was spoiling Shen Gonglin. This was just basic interaction. Mei and the Class President treated Shen Gonglin the same way, so there was nothing wrong with what she was doing. Besides, it was good that Shen Gonglin was unconscious. At least no one would disturb her and her mother's time alone. If Shen Gonglin woke up, her mother would always focus her attention on him. Even Kiana would get jealous. This guy was already very attractive to women. This time, she would let him have his way.

"It means that he can be willful and reckless because he is favored by others. Alright, since you've said so, let him continue to rest. But the two of us have to start the mission. We must find the elevator key as soon as possible. The problem of the Second Herrscher must be solved."

Cecilia patiently gave Kiana a simple explanation. She stood up and straightened her clothes. Taking care of Shen Gonglin and Kiana had made this valiant Valkyrie a little more vulnerable as a woman. But in fact, she was still Schicksal's ace. As the strongest Valkyrie, she still had to complete the mission.

"Understood, I will definitely do my best to help."

Kiana nodded confidently, glanced at Shen Gonglin, and then excitedly ran to the other side. Her luck was truly amazing! It seemed that everything was going exactly as she wanted since entering the tower. She had managed to get rid of Theresa, who was supposed to be a third wheel; she had succeeded in wanting to lie in her mother's arms; and even her desire to have Shen Gonglin by her side without him disturbing her while she acted spoiled towards her mother had come true. Everything was going so smoothly. Why was that?

It can't be because of that magic spell, right? "Ichliebedich," which Shen Gonglin said means "I love you." Does that magic spell really work?

With these thoughts swirling in her mind, Kiana searched absentmindedly. The diary kept replaying in her mind, and she was slightly concerned about what would happen next. She realized she hadn't finished reading it; several pages were clearly torn out. She desperately wanted to know what would happen next...

Huh? Are those pages torn from a diary?

Kiana's gaze shifted, and she stared in surprise at the white paper on the ground. She hadn't noticed it before, but it turned out that the torn pages of the diary were here. Perfect, she could see what was written in the diary. She was very curious about the diary's owner. Like herself, she had been separated from her mother for a long time, and was being used as a research subject for experiments here. How pitiful.

My body is hurting more and more. The doctor said he needed to take me for a checkup, so he took me to a room full of TVs. I love watching TV, I love being held by my mom, lying on the comfortable sofa watching TV... But here, the TVs only show strange numbers, it's not interesting at all... It hurts so much, Mom...

Reading the diary entries aloud, Kiana's mood grew slightly heavy. It was so pitiful; her beautiful memories with her mother had turned into this. She wondered what had become of the diary's owner, whether she had been rescued. But watching TV with her mother... Kiana felt a little envious. She had never watched TV with her mother before. She was so envious. She wondered if there was a television in this tower...

"Ichliebedich... Ugh, why did I say that spell again? No, no, this isn't the time for this. I need to pull myself together... But, but I really want to watch TV with Mom. I really... really want to be closer to Mom. Let me be willful just this once more. I want to watch TV with Mom... No, not just watch TV. I want to play games with Mom, and with Shen Gonglin. I want to play with him too. Ever since I learned how to play games, I haven't beaten him even once. He's just like that great demon Bronya. I really want to play games with Mom and Shen Gonglin. Ichliebedich... I haven't succeeded at anything!"

Kiana silently recited the incantation in her mind, but it was as if nothing had happened. She suddenly felt like a fool for believing such a thing. She was hopelessly stupid. Fortunately, Shen Gonglin was unconscious and didn't know what she had done, otherwise that girl would definitely laugh at her.

Kiana patted her cheeks, trying to clear her head. She thought the spell was really working, but this was the result. Although she was mentally prepared, the reality still made Kiana's mood instantly sink. What was going on? She might as well believe that Shen Gonglin no longer had a fear of heights than believe in this spell.

Thump.

Before Kiana could even continue searching for the elevator key, a sound of something falling to the ground came from outside. Because she had been distracted, Kiana's search hadn't been very fast, and she hadn't strayed far from Shen Gonglin. Upon hearing the sound Kiana immediately realized what had happened. The girl quickly ran out of the room, and as soon as she looked up, she saw Shen Gonglin sitting on the floor rubbing her head. "She's finally awake! Thank goodness, it was just a normal coma. She's finally awake."

"Hey, Shen Gonglin, are you alright?"

The girl quickly went to Shen Gonglin's side. Kiana couldn't help but feel sorry for him after seeing the red mark on his forehead. What happened to this idiot? How did he fall off the bed? He has this problem?

Chapter Forty-Five: Consciousness Space

My head hurts so much... Where am I?

When Kiana first uttered that incantation, Shen Gonglin fell unconscious along with her. The pain in her head was intense, but just when Shen Gonglin thought she was about to cry from the pain, it vanished instantly, leaving Shen Gonglin with a blank white vision. Gone was the previous pain; now Shen Gonglin felt completely refreshed, and the familiarity of where her head was resting on her lap told her, based on Shen Gonglin experience, it was probably a lap pillow.

"Is this my haven of comfort? Isn't it pleasant?"

A small, cool hand suddenly landed on Shen Gonglin's head. The smooth, jade-like touch instantly pleased Shen Gonglin, and the voice that suddenly appeared sounded very familiar. It must be a girl he knew. The scent, and that slightly husky yet incredibly alluring voice...

"It really is you, Sakuya... Wait, who's Sakuya again?"

She inexplicably uttered a name, and only after saying it did Shen Gonglin realize something was wrong. She didn't remember the name at all, so how did she just blurt it out? As soon as she said it, she felt a strange sense of peace. Shen Gonglin couldn't wait to open her eyes and see who the girl in front of her was. The feeling of resting her head on her lap was so nice, she must be a super beautiful girl, right?

"Saki my foot! I'm so sorry, but apologize properly to the fairy who tried so hard to give you a lap pillow. Your behavior is as bad as calling someone else's name when we're sleeping together! I should never have given you a lap pillow. Someone like you should sleep on the floor!"

Before Shen Gonglin could even open her eyes, a strange sensation enveloped her head. It felt like face wash! Shen Gonglin struggled to open her eyes, and the white blur before her eyes vanished instantly, replaced by another kind of snow-white. This feeling was familiar to Shen Gonglin. She struggled frantically, and finally, she was fully awake. A red and black dress, and behind those two high breasts, a pretty face with puffed-up cheeks and a slightly angry expression—wasn't this Tokisaki Kurumi, who called herself the Fairy Girl?

How did she get here? And where is this place? Is this the "gentle haven" she mentioned?

"If you don't want to, you can switch with me."

Another adorable voice rang out from the side. Shen Gonglin turned her head and saw cherry blossom hair, emerald green eyes, and a figure even more outstanding than Tokisaki Kurumi. The Universal Angel Icarus was now kneeling obediently beside her. After seeing her gaze turn away, she patted her legs. Her white skirt armor made her even whiter and more tender legs make Shen Gonglin secretly swallow.

"Isn't this a bad idea?"

"If you know it's bad, then don't get up! Lie down properly for me. When will you ever get rid of this habit of saying one thing but meaning another? Just lie there and don't move."

The elven girl impatiently pressed Shen Gonglin down again. Despite her words, how could she possibly give up such a good opportunity? Luckily, the one next to her was this silly and easy-to-bully Universal Angel. If it were anyone else, she wouldn't be so easy to talk to. She stroked Shen Gonglin's head with her little hand, and the more she stroked it, the Kurumi became. She really wanted to tear his head off and kick it like a ball.

"Didn't you say you didn't want to give me a lap pillow?"

Universal Angel Shen Gonglin muttered something, her gaze fixed on Icarus. She wondered if it was just her imagination, but after seeing herself being pinned down by Kurumi again, a hint of disappointment seemed to flash across the angelic face, and her eyes even looked red. But when she looked closely, she saw that it was still that gentle green, really green.

"You'll listen to me? Then let's have a baby right now? Seriously, if you really want to listen to me, then you shouldn't keep playing with that little girl. You've ruined your own brain. You're not smart to begin with, what if you become an idiot? Do you know that being mentally challenged is illegal? I'm a law-abiding little devil, and if I could, I wouldn't want to break the law."

Tokisaki Kurumi gently massaged Shen Gonglin's head with her small hands and sighed deeply. Shen Gonglin was not smart to begin with; his only redeeming quality was his IQ. His EQ was practically nonexistent. If she were to damage his brain now, his only remaining intelligence would probably be gone. Although it might be quite nice to mess with the mentally challenged Shen Gonglin, well... sigh, wouldn't that affect the next generation?

The elven girl touched her belly with great concern. She knew she was responsible for continuing the lineage of the Jingu family. Even for the sake of the next generation, she had to protect Shen Gonglin's head.

"I won't turn into an idiot, I'm still pretty confident in my brain... By the way, where exactly is this place? Do you two know what happened here?"

Shen Gonglin waved his hand, saying that turning him into an idiot was a bit of an exaggeration. He knew his own head well. Although he had been greatly shocked, it wasn't enough to cause any serious injury. What intrigued him was the situation of Kurumi and Icarus, and what exactly this place was. Was it some kind of consciousness space? Shen Gonglin had imagined it would be like a scene where a big fox was locked up in a sewer.

"You should say this is the brain's self-protective space automatically triggered by the impact on the brain region, just like fainting when the pain is too intense. Do you think we don't know what you've done? We knew everything when you entered this space. Since you know it's an illusion, why do you force yourself to believe it's real? Just because your brain works well, do you think you can bully it like this? This isn't just your brain. Let me tell you, from now on, only I can be in this space. Come on, try your best to make this place resemble me."

Two small hands kept stroking Shen Gonglin's head, the Kurumi girl muttering to herself. "This isn't just Shen Gonglin's head," she thought, "What if he breaks it? It needs to hold me!" The more she stroked, the more excited she became, her words tumbling out incoherently. Shen Gonglin felt increasingly uneasy. What did she mean by "his head can only hold her"? And what did she mean by "making me take her shape"? Shouldn't it be her taking his shape...?

As expected of an elf, before she knew it, she was following her lead. Shen Gonglin looked to the Universal Angel beside her for help, hoping she would say something, but the angel just looked at Kurumi with envy. She also wanted to rub Shen Gonglin's head like Kurumi did, it felt like rubbing a watermelon.

Chapter 46 Owners and Pets

"Ah... Even though you said that, there are some things that can't be avoided. Anyway, I'm super strong, so even if the workload is a little heavy, I probably won't have any problems. So I... you know what I mean."

The adorable, Universal Angel couldn't save herself, so Shen Gonglin had to save herself. Looking at the elf girl's huffy expression, he felt a little embarrassed. Many people were worried about him, and the elf girl was clearly acting this way because she was too worried about him. Shen Gonglin wouldn't be so ungrateful, so he smiled ingratiatingly at Kurumi, and while smiling, he didn't forget to rub against Kurumi's legs. Underneath the pretty gothic outfit were the girl's equally beautiful and slender legs; it felt quite comfortable to rest his head on them.

"Hmph, I don't understand at all. You're just lusting after her looks. You're only so nice to her because she's pretty. Do you really think I won't get jealous? Let me tell you, I can be really jealous, the kind where I drink from a whole jar."

Seeing how affectionate he was towards her, Tokisaki Kurumi lit up with a smile, but as soon as she tugged at the corners of her mouth, she realized what she meant. The girl tried hard to keep a serious expression on her face. Did he think she was joking with him? What an idiot! He didn't even cherish his own body for that white-haired guy. How could he be so careless with his mind? If it were for her sake, Kurumi would be incredibly moved, but this wasn't for her sake. This guy was still the same as always. Even with amnesia, he was still driven by instinct. Was the white hair really that appealing to him? Should she get a white-haired form too?

She reached out and touched her uneven twin tails, which were jet black and smooth. If they turned white, they would probably look quite nice. She had to make Shen Gonglin behave herself, or she would get jealous.

"Really? Then give me a drink and let me see... I'm sorry, I'm sorry, don't pinch me, don't pinch me, Icarus, quickly pull this crazy woman away, she's trying to bite me!"

As was his habit, Shen Gonglin made a cheeky remark, but he forgot that this elf girl was no Mei or the Class President. If we're talking about being willful and capricious, she's even more so than Kiana. After hearing what Shen Gonglin said, Kurumi immediately grabbed his cheek, her fair fingers like iron clamps. Not only that, she also lowered her head and bit Shen Gonglin's nose, making him know that such willfulness would have consequences. This idiot, I've never seen such an idiot before.

The two were bickering, and Universal Angel was about to help, Shen Gonglin rolled off Kurumi's lap. Then, the white space collapsed and dissipated. The Universal Angel sighed slightly, feeling a little disappointed that he hadn't been able to touch Shen Gonglin's head.

Hmm... what's going on? I was just arguing with Kurumi, how did the environment suddenly change? And... my head hurts so much from the bump... is this... Kiana?

His train of thought faltered again, Shen Gonglin sat on the ground, completely bewildered, unable to come to his senses for a long time. It wasn't until Kiana touched the wound on his head that he grimaced and came to his senses. Kiana was looking at him with great concern. Shen Gonglin hadn't felt anything while in that consciousness space, but now that he was "awakened," he immediately felt the pain in his head again. Shen Gonglin was the kind of person who was very afraid of pain, but now, he had to endure it.

"No, it's nothing... I just accidentally rolled over and fell off the bed while I was sleeping, and it hurt a little. You can rub it for me and it'll be fine... Don't drool on me, yes, that's right, I just don't like you."

With a forced smile, Shen Gonglin took a deep breath and obediently sat on the ground, letting Kiana rub the spot on his head where he had bumped it. Seeing the girl's worried expression, he teased her a couple of times. Sure enough, Kiana's attitude changed immediately after hearing what he said. She rubbed Shen Gonglin's head while gritting her teeth. Honestly, she knew she shouldn't have worried about this idiot. He was a complete fool. Worrying about him was like throwing a tantrum at a blind man!

Kiana would never admit that she actually wanted to lick Shen Gonglin's wound just now. This girl simply doesn't understand; doesn't she know that saliva can disinfect?

"Do you think I wanted this? Idiot, I was just wondering how stupid you are. How could you possibly fall off the bed while sleeping? Looks like I can't let you sleep in the small bed anymore, you'll have to sleep in a bigger one."

Kiana muttered to herself, but to be fair, she was quite happy that Shen Gonglin had woken up. Although he didn't act or speak like a human being once he woke up, Kiana would still worry if he didn't wake up.

"Well, it would be best if the Class President slept with me, that would be even safer."

Shen Gonglin nodded in agreement. There were reasons for choosing the Class President. Firstly, she was serious and would definitely take good care of her to prevent her from falling. Shen Gonglin trusted Class President completely. Secondly, she took up relatively little space. If Mei or Kiana slept with her, they would probably squeeze her, but the Class President wouldn't have that problem at all. As a member of the 6A-level scenic area, she was probably even weaker than Bronya. So, in conclusion, the Class President was the most suitable.

"Huh? You really know how to take advantage of a situation, huh? I was just saying I'd let you sleep in the big bed and you're already thinking about having the Class President sleep with you? Seriously, what exactly is your relationship with the Class President? Is it the owner-pet relationship I'm thinking of? It seems like you can never seem to get back to the Class President. Shen Gonglin, you're not like what I'm thinking, are you?"

Class President stared at Shen Gonglin, her eyes wide. How much Kiana he like the Class President to act like this? And why did he specifically want the Class President to accompany him? She was the one who brought up this topic; shouldn't she be the first person he thought of? How could he do this? Kiana's doubts grew. She used to trust the Class President a lot, after all, she was so old-fashioned. But now Kiana felt more and more uneasy. Last time, she even saw the Class President picking out clothes. It was terrifying if something like that happened to Fu Hua.

"What the hell is this owner-pet relationship? Kiana, you... don't talk nonsense. Although I've thought about this kind of thing, I've never done it. Keeping Class President or anything like that... raising a beautiful girl pet, I've never even considered it!"

Shen Gonglin said in a fierce but cowardly tone, while Kiana looked at his flushed cheeks and her mouth twitched. This guy, did he get the relationship between owner and pet backwards? It should be the Class President taking care of him, but does this guy think he is taking care of the Class President?

Chapter 47 Hidden Game Players

Seeing Kiana's increasingly suspicious gaze, even Shen Gonglin couldn't bear it. Her fair and delicate face turned red, which was quite noticeable. No, she couldn't dwell on this issue any longer. Shen Gonglin quickly tried to find a topic to distract Kiana, as she was just too shy.

"We'll talk about the cute girl pet later. Kiana, I just woke up from my coma, tell me what's going on. What are we supposed to do now? Are we just going to keep sleeping around doing nothing?"

Kiana realized that Shen Gonglin was trying to change the subject, so she snorted and stopped pressing the issue. She figured she could just keep an eye on this problem from now on. Shen Gonglin was a prime example of overthinking things. He was even thinking about raising some cute girl pet. He couldn't even raise a normal pet properly. He was clearly just someone who was being raised. This was too much of a concern for him. Even if he wanted to raise a pet, the Class President wouldn't let him.

"How can we just sit around doing nothing? Do you see that elevator? What we need to do now is find the elevator key, otherwise we won't be able to get to the top of the tower. Honestly, I was trying to help Mom, but now... So annoying!"

Kiana pointed helplessly at the blocked elevator. If she could, she would do anything to help Cecilia. She wanted to hear Cecilia praise her more. Every time Cecilia praised her, Kiana felt very pleased. Could Shen Gonglin help her?

"A key? Let me see... Kiana, does something like this even need a key? Watch me."

Having roughly figured out the elevator's program lock, Shen Gonglin pressed her fingertip, which crackled with blue electricity, onto the elevator's control panel. The current instantly flowed into the program lock. This wasn't just about controlling the current; Shen Gonglin was incredibly skilled at unlocking things. She didn't even consider this level of lock a problem and could open it easily.

"Wow! Shen Gonglin, you're amazing! I didn't know you could do something like that, it's really incredible!"

Kiana exclaimed in surprise. How could she have forgotten about Shen Gonglin? This guy seems to be able to do everything. There's nothing he can't do except cook and give birth. Kiana was excited as she watched the data flashing on the elevator control screen. Finally, she could help her mother! She was right. As long as Shen Gonglin was by her side, she could do anything!

"Hmph, of course. Don't even mention this level of lock, I can even lock the headmaster's bedroom... Don't look at me like that. I don't mean to sneak into Theresa's room, you understand?"

Shen Gonglin leaned against the elevator door, resting. Out of Kiana's sight, he secretly wiped the fine beads of sweat from his forehead. His brain was already overloaded, and using such precise electrical control was simply adding insult to injury. However, seeing Kiana so happy Shen Gonglin felt it was worth it. Of course, Shen Gonglin would never say such things directly, after all, he was a tsundere.

"Hmph, who knows what you're thinking all day long? Anyway, the elevator is working now..."

Kiana silently noted this down in her little notebook. She was quite happy watching the data flashing on the elevator screen, but what happened next made her a little panicked. Even the confident Shen Gonglin next to her was a little flustered. The red alarm light came on. This shouldn't be. Could it be that her brain was too badly damaged and she couldn't even open a lock of this level?

[Visitor data detected, Level 3 access, authentication in progress... Error alert: Core data missing, authentication cannot be completed... Unauthorized intrusion detected. The current visitor will be frozen and the system locked. Countdown: 10, 9, 8...]

The cold, mechanical sound startled Kiana. She instinctively looked at Shen Gonglin took a deep breath and forced herself to focus on the elevator's control panel. A flicker of electricity flashed in her deep purple eyes as her fingers tapped rapidly on the panel. If the terminal was locked, the elevator would be unusable, and neither Cecilia nor Kiana wanted that outcome. She had to try harder.

"Don't panic, everything is going according to plan. Since we don't have enough permissions, we can just bypass this firewall. Generally, the defense programs of these firewalls aren't too difficult. Watch me handle it with ease... Wait a minute? This defense program, is it a game? Kallen? Fantasy?"

Shen Gonglin comforted Kiana while simultaneously speeding up his movements to try and bypass the firewall. However, a cheerful sound effect rang out, and the control panel, which had been flashing an alarm, changed its appearance. Looking at what was on it, Shen Gonglin felt a bit overwhelmed. Was this supposed to bypass the firewall? How did a game appear? Did it want him to relax by playing a game because his brain was too overloaded?

"What's wrong? What happened? I heard noises coming from over there... Shen Gonglin, you're awake. Do you feel any discomfort anywhere in your body?"

Kiana and Shen Gonglin looked at each other, confused. Just then, Cecilia arrived. Seeing the two of them standing at the elevator door, Cecilia was puzzled. She first worried about Shen Gonglin's condition, since his sudden fainting was quite concerning. Cecilia touched Shen Gonglin's head and felt that something was still wrong; his head was covered in cold sweat.

"I'm not feeling unwell, it's just that I'm getting a little anxious because I'm sixteen or seventeen and still don't have a girlfriend... Cecilia, look at this, is it really a game?"

Shen Gonglin shook her head and removed Cecilia's hand from her head. Even Cecilia was speechless after hearing what he said. So anxious about not having a girlfriend? There was Kiana right there right next to her. If it weren't for the huge age difference, she would have wanted to wait until her daughter Kiana grew up so she could get to know Shen Gonglin. This guy seemed to have something wrong with his head. But since he could talk like that, he shouldn't be seriously injured. So Cecilia looked at the screen, and what Cecilia saw immediately filled her with immense joy.

"That's right, this is a game, and it's even Kallen Fantasy III! We never expected to see something like this, we're so lucky!"

Hearing Cecilia's excited tone, Shen Gonglin and Kiana exchanged a glance. This Cecilia... seems to be a game addict?

Chapter Forty-Eight: Playing Games Together

"KallenFantasy3 is a role-playing game where you control three characters: Kallen, the Valkyrie of Light, her lover Otto, and her pet HOMU, as they adventure around the world, defeat the Eastern Fox Demon who uses dark powers to dominate the continent, and ultimately Kallen and Otto achieve a happy ending!"

Upon seeing something that interested her, Cecilia's face lit up with the fervor of a gaming enthusiast. She shared everything she knew with Shen Gonglin and Kiana. However, after hearing the introduction, Shen Gonglin felt something was off. The game's background was so strange— Kallen, and her lover Otto?
