Seeing Fu Xuan rubbing his eyes and struggling to get out of bed, his body, loosely covered by a bath towel, looked incredibly alluring.

Especially the White Tights soaked with sweat, their slightly sheer texture was exceptionally alluring.

Lin Shuang coughed lightly, and taking advantage of Fu Xuan's drowsiness and lack of awareness of her gaze, she spoke:

"Then I'll take my leave first. Fu Xuan, you should get some rest."

"Ah... well, I don't have any spare rooms, so I won't keep you here. Goodnight."

Goodnight, Fu Xuan.

Seeing that Fu Xuan was still relatively sober, Lin Shuang packed her things and left Fu Xuan's house alone.

Acheron Quan glanced at Fu Xuan inside the room, then gripped his long sword and followed Lin Shuang away.

Volume 1: Chapter 82 Looking at her own feet, is this Lin Shuang's quirk?

Acheron spent most of the day staring at Lin Shuang in deep thought.

In terms of knowledge, Acheron has quite a lot, but unfortunately he has forgotten most of what he knew before. Apart from some important things, most of the relatively unrelated things have been lost.

With the resurgence of feelings, a vague sense of familiarity could be detected, but that was about it.

After all, it's not like we can just draw our swords for these kinds of things.

This leads Acheron to realize that his situation likely stems from 'possessiveness' and 'jealousy'.

Of course, this feeling is not limited to couples; it can also exist between close friends.

Therefore, Acheron did not delve into the classification of his feelings, but instead focused on how he should deal with such emotions.

The rationality and composure brought by his remaining experience, clashing with almost unfamiliar emotions, make it difficult for Acheron to achieve the results he wants in a short period of time.

After all, this isn't a battle, nor is it a problem that can be solved by simply drawing a sword and making a slash.

"It's only been a few days, yet it's caused me so much distress. Over the years, you've been the only one who's ever been like this."

Acheron gazed at Lin Shuang's retreating figure.

Although I wasn't in a particularly good mood.

Even with these feelings, Acheron was still willing to savor them.

After all, compared to Nihility, the feelings we have now are much more real.

This will allow Acheron to clearly feel his own 'existence'.

After returning to her room and quickly washing up, Lin Shuang lay on the bed and started the game. Her consciousness successfully entered the game, and she went to meet up with Silver Wolf and then met up with Firefly.

Acheron, who had witnessed almost the entire process of Lin Shuang washing up, finally appeared in the room.

She put down her long sword, took off her gloves, looked at Lin Shuang lying flat on the bed, and gently touched Lin Shuang's cheek with her finger.

Soft and warm.

The familiar touch filled Acheron with a sense of peace, and the source of that peace was the girl in front of him.

"... They were so unprepared. Maybe they need some more training."

Perhaps it was out of instinctive trust in Acheron, or perhaps Lin Shuang had never been wary of Acheron in her subconscious.

Even though she was only in a state of consciousness immersed in the game, Lin Shuang did not react at all when Acheron approached her or even touched her cheek.

While Acheron smiled, he was also dissatisfied with Lin Shuang's unguarded state.

Although Acheron always knew that Lin Shuang was always completely unprepared when he touched her.

Perhaps it's a bit unreasonable, but since there are no outsiders around, Acheron felt that a little bit of unreasonableness wasn't such a bad thing.

Seeing the smile on Lin Shuang's face, Acheron wanted to pinch her soft little face again.

However, thinking that he had come all this way without washing up, he withdrew his hand and turned to walk towards the bathroom, which was still steaming.

Take off your clothes and take a bath.

She changed into a softer, Xianzhou- style nightgown, her hair still damp with a few water droplets, and her slightly flushed face looked so delicate it seemed like it could be pinched to release moisture.

Her legs, now free of boots, were naturally exposed to the air, revealing perfectly defined muscle lines, flawless white skin, and a few marks peeking out from under her skirt that resembled tattoos or stigmas—all exuding astonishing charm.

Having just emerged from her bath and washed away her makeup, Acheron appeared more gentle and delicate than usual, displaying a softer, more tender side.

Unfortunately, Lin Shuang did not witness this scene.

Acheron tossed her hair aside, walked back to Lin Shuang's room, and sat down sideways.

Looking down at Lin Shuang, who was still lying motionless, he reached out and gently brushed the stray hairs from his forehead.

My gaze traveled down her forehead and finally landed on her hands, which were clasped together on her abdomen.

Compared to the alluring nightgown she bought for Acheron, Lin Shuang herself wore long sleeves and trousers, looking quite plain.

Acheron didn't have any particular ideas when he was buying the items, so he left the selection to Lin Shuang.

Now, all that can be seen are the hands and feet, not covered by clothing, with only the collarbone visible at the neckline.

Acheron finally realized that he probably shouldn't have entrusted this task to Lin Shuang.

Thinking this way.

Acheron withdrew his gaze from Lin Shuang and returned it to his own legs.

Speaking of which, during the day, the fortune teller from Luofu seemed to have mentioned Lin Shuang's quirks.

Although the diviner did not explicitly state what it was, Acheron, watching from outside the arena, could clearly sense Lin Shuang looking at the diviner of Luofu.

My gaze lingered mostly on those not-so-long legs and feet.

Secondly, there was her back, which was quite exposed and connected by ropes.

"... Is this Lin Shuang's quirk? But why, when we're together, do I look more at her upper body?"

Acheron's fingers gently cupped her unbound chest. She was well aware of Lin Shuang's gaze, but she had never paid any attention to it.

Of course, at this point, Acheron probably couldn't yet understand the details of these niche markets.

It's not ignorance, just a simple lack of feeling.

A jumble of thoughts swirled in my mind, then quickly vanished.

She sat on the bed, gently hooking her fingers around Lin Shuang's loosely clenched hand, then leaned back on the pillow and closed her eyes.

At this moment, in an immersive virtual game.

Lin Shuang was wearing the system's default dress when she met Silver Wolf and Firefly.

She's a very gentle girl.

This was Lin Shuang's first impression after seeing Firefly in person.

She wore the same dress as in the game, but Firefly was very tall, about the same height as Acheron, and a bit taller than Lin Shuang.

In comparison, the Silver Wolf leading the way in front of the Firefly looked more like a child.

"Hello, nice to meet you. You can call me Firefly."

Firefly covered her chest with one hand and smiled politely.

Her gentle, sweet voice carried an incredible power, as if it were softly touching my cheek.

"Hello, you can call me Lin Shuang."

Lin Shuang responded with a smile in return.

Before the two could continue their conversation, Silver Wolf looked at Lin Shuang with disdain and said:

"Why are you dressed like this? You have so much money, why don't you buy yourself some new clothes? You look awful."

"I think the default outfit the system gave me is pretty nice, isn't it?"

Lin Shuang glanced down at herself. It was a rather simple dress, not complicated in style, and it even came with matching hair accessories. At least Lin Shuang thought it looked pretty good.

Silver Wolf couldn't help but roll his eyes at her. Was she focusing on beauty or ugliness?

You never think before you speak, you just go ahead and argue, don't you?

Watching the interaction between the two, Firefly smiled, pursing her lips.

She and Silver Wolf usually didn't have much to talk about, and today was the first time she had seen Silver Wolf's emotions fluctuate so obviously.

"I arrived here quite early today, how about I take you shopping first, maybe we can buy some clothes?"

"Is that alright? Thank you so much, Firefly."

Lin Shuang nodded in agreement without hesitation, completely ignoring the Silver Wolf's complaints beside her:

"Let this guy buy it for you! She still has a lot of Credits I gave her in her account!"

Volume 1: Chapter 83 Firefly and the Acheron, One Hand Holding Two People!

The first thing Firefly wanted to do was go shopping.

Although this place is quite well-developed as a virtual world, and is even jokingly called "Little Penacony" by its users, the shopping experience here is definitely not bad.

But Silver Wolf wasn't interested at all.

Not everything can make Silver Wolf excited simply by putting a game on it.

No matter how eloquently you describe shopping, it's still the same old thing. Instead of going shopping, you might as well go to the Adventure Zone to grind achievements and Leaderboard.

Silver Wolf had assumed today's destination would be the Adventure Zone, but who knew that Firefly didn't want to ignite the sea?

To be honest, Silver Wolf didn't know much about Firefly. Apart from not talking much and liking to send emoticons, he also knew that she was in poor health and basically could only talk about the Treatment Pod.

Seeing that neither Firefly Ying nor Lin Shuang minded.

Silver Wolf pursed his lips, not knowing what to say, and could only wave his hand and say:

"You two can play then, and you too! Remember to pay me!"

He was speaking for a while when his fingers were almost pressing against Lin Shuang's cheek, as if he were about to pull out Prometheus and put it on her neck.

"Duck Duck, you're acting just like a parent taking their child out to play."

Lin Shuang looked down at the Silver Wolf, reached out and pinched the finger that the wolf had extended in front of her, pressing it down.

The realism of this virtual game is not high, and Lin Shuang didn't even have any peripherals equipped with it. Apart from being able to feel the collision volume of objects, she didn't have any other sensations.

"Get lost."

Silver Wolf rolled his eyes at Lin Shuang, then nodded to Firefly beside him before teleporting away in the game.

"Shall we set off then? I've already explored the area roughly during the day. Do you need me to lead the way?"

Firefly smiled, her long, grayish hair moving without wind in the game. Her beautiful dress and gentle smile made it really hard to associate her with the image of Sam.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Miss Firefly."

Lin Shuang approached Firefly's side. Firefly was already tall, was actually slightly taller than Lin Shuang with the addition of high heels.

Firefly covered her mouth and chuckled softly.

"Calling me 'Miss' feels a bit strange. Just call me by my name. Ah... but I'm not usually called 'Firefly' (meaning 'Firefly'). Lin Shuang, you're probably the first person to formally address me like that."

Halfway through his sentence, he seemed to remember something and winked at Lin Shuang.

Lin Shuang blushed slightly at Firefly's cuteness, then asked thoughtfully:

Do they usually call you Sam?

"Yes, I never show myself when I'm on a mission. As a code name, it naturally gets carried over into my daily life, so although I like this name, I almost never use it."

Firefly's expression was calm, but Lin Shuang could sense that she seemed to have some kind of obsession with this name.

Is it an obsession with being called by name and interacting with others like a normal person?

I think so.

Lin Shuang did not press the matter further, but instead smiled and extended her hand in a gentlemanly gesture of invitation:

"From now on, you'll only have one name with me: 'Firefly.' I'll only call you 'Firefly.' Anyway, I'm not one of your people, so I don't care about mission codes."
