"..."

Firefly clasped her hands to her chest, blinked, and saw the smile in Lin Shuang's eyes, as well as her slightly exaggerated gestures that seemed to be deliberately trying to make her happy.

"OK."

Smiling, he reached out and placed his hand on Lin Shuang's palm.

For Firefly, both virtual games and appearing in person in her true form are rare experiences.

Anyway, it's in a virtual game.

Anyway, I originally planned to use the name 'Firefly' here.

So it doesn't really matter.

As Firefly thought this to herself, feeling her heartbeat quicken slightly, she met Lin Shuang's eyes and smiled happily.

However, there's one thing I need to correct.

Firefly smiled and gestured in front of her, and Lin Shuang listened attentively:

"What?"

"Even though it's only in name, you'll be entering into a contract for an intimate relationship with me in the future. That means you'll be on my side. If you're ever exposed, everyone will think you're with us. You can't escape it~"

A sly smile appeared on her gentle face. Feeling the almost imperceptible volume in her palm, Lin Shuang felt as if Firefly's smile had pierced her heart.

It was so beautiful.

She was so beautiful that you couldn't help but want to reach out and hug her.

This kind of impulse is truly a completely different feeling.

Even the touch of my palms seemed to have become softer and warmer.

And at this moment...

In reality, Acheron was curiously inserting his fingers one by one between Lin Shuang's fingers, playing with Lin Shuang's hands with great interest.

Compared to her own slightly rough hands, Lin Shuang's fingers were fair, delicate, and her soft, smooth skin didn't look like that of a Swordsman.

Of course, Acheron was also curious about just how unguarded Lin Shuang would be towards him.

I need to manipulate her in a certain way so that she will trigger her inner 'alarm' and wake up from the game.

Moreover... she's already allowed so many uncomfortable emotions to arise within herself.

So, it would be perfectly reasonable for me to retaliate a little, wouldn't it?

Acheron didn't intend to act impulsively and make things difficult for Fu Xuan or Lin Shuang, but that didn't mean Acheron wouldn't vent his emotions a little.

Even though Acheron hadn't paid attention to emotional issues for a long time, such impulses and behaviors still surfaced almost instinctively.

"Hmm... Anyway, this outfit is awful, let's change it."

Once a wound in your heart is opened, some things that were once acceptable suddenly become unacceptable.

For example, the simple pajamas Lin Shuang is wearing now.

Thinking this way.

Acheron then released Lin Shuang's hands, got up and found a black V-neck slip dress with large lace cutouts on the side from the wardrobe next to him.

The skirt wasn't long, only reaching about thigh-high. Acheron had never worn it before, but that didn't stop her from wanting Lin Shuang to try it on.

The smooth fabric felt weightless in his hands. Acheron, clutching the clothes, climbed back onto the bed and, with a swift movement, knelt on top of Lin Shuang. However, his body remained suspended in the air, so he didn't press his weight down.

Looking down at the unsuspecting Lin Shuang, Acheron Acheron felt a strange sense of wonder, even though it wasn't the first time.

Reaching out, she began unbuttoning her blouse, one button at a time, starting from the neckline. As the fabric slipped down, it became clear that Lin Shuang was wearing nothing underneath her pajamas.

Her perfect, upright curve trembled slightly with each breath.

The abdomen has very shallow muscle lines, but it doesn't feel hard to the touch.

My fingers traced across my lower abdomen and then carefully circled around my navel.

Even at this point, Lin Shuang still hadn't woken up.

Volume 1: Chapter 84 Oh no, even Firefly is a straight-talker!

Acheron found it extremely amazing.

She never expected that Lin Shuang seemed to be completely unprepared.

He not only stripped Lin Shuang of her clothes, but even changed her into that alluring nightgown.

Despite the commotion, Lin Shuang remained fast asleep, showing no signs of noticing anything.

Moreover, under Acheron's careful observation, Lin Shuang seemed to be genuinely immersed in the game, rather than pretending not to notice.

This truly shocked even Acheron.

This person doesn't usually act like this. Is it really because of me?

Acheron fondled Lin Shuang, finding the feeling of being unconditionally trusted quite peculiar.

This caused some of the pent-up emotions in Acheron's heart to dissipate.

Meanwhile, in virtual games.

Because the tactile sensation in the virtual world is so weak, Lin Shuang did not let go of Firefly's hand and led her to the commercial area.

However, for Firefly, the connection equipment and sensory simulation equipment she used in the medical pod were all top-of-the-line.

For Firefly Ying, the hand that Lin Shuang was holding could clearly feel the warmth and touch of human skin.

Although she had no intention of pulling her hand away, this was truly the first time she had ever held hands like this and been led by her.

Lin Shuang, who was following behind, was listening to Firefly describe the surrounding environment.

Just then, a pop-up window from the system appeared in front of me.

[Target: Acheron]

[Affection: 86 (Trust and Favoritism)]

[Relationship: Married in name only]

['Keep lying. The higher you raise the Affection, the worse it will be when you crash and burn.']

[Reward: A new reward will be issued after the relationship stabilizes.]

Acheron's Affection inexplicably increased a little.

Goodness!

Lin Shuang thought to herself, "Wow!"

What has Acheron been doing outside? He didn't call today, so how did my Affection increase?

Lin Shuang was full of doubt and really wanted to call Acheron right now to ask where she had gone and what she had been doing.

Just then, Firefly's face appeared before Lin Shuang through the system's screen:

"What's wrong? Are you bored? You seem to be spacing out."

Firefly was curious but also a little apologetic, as if she felt that her introduction hadn't been good enough, which was why Lin Shuang was bored.

Looking at Firefly's expression, Lin Shuang couldn't help but speak:

"No, I was just thinking about what to buy. I wasn't bored at all. Your explanation was very detailed."

How can this child be so ferocious when fighting, and then so adorable when he takes off his armor?

Firefly made a slightly exaggerated gesture as if she was letting out a sigh of relief, but it didn't seem pretentious at all.

"Really? That's good. Phew... I was worried about what would happen if you got bored."

"How could that be? Just having you here will keep me entertained. I'm more worried you'll find it boring, after all... the mission requires you and me to form an intimate contract."

Lin Shuang tentatively brought up the topic.

Although Lin Shuang herself was certainly very satisfied, Silver Wolf, as the one who was assigned the mission, seemed to care as long as Lin Shuang continued to play games with her.

Kafka is naturally the most rational and calm, so there's no need to worry too much.

But as for Firefly, because she had only seen half of the game's storyline, Lin Shuang had no idea what kind of person Firefly was.

All that is known is that Firefly suffers from a terminal illness and is waiting for a slow death.

Lin Shuang wasn't sure if the system would still give her the Ring after she formed a contract with Firefly.

But can the Ring cure, or even stop, the Firefly's symptoms from getting worse?

Seeing Lin Shuang's slightly worried expression, Firefly's mood visibly brightened.

Those who can join the Stellaron Hunter, whose background and experience are simple? No one cares about such trivial matters.

However, even if one doesn't care, it would certainly be better if the person with whom one enters into a contract is more comfortable to get along with.

"Ah, about that matter."

Firefly raised her hand, which was being held, and showed it to Lin Shuang.

"No, I'm really looking forward to that day. Elio told me that meeting you might be the key to finding meaning in my life."

"..."

Oh no, this guy is definitely a player who goes straight for the ball.

Being directly confessed to by a beautiful girl holding your hand like that is truly incredibly powerful.

Although Lin Shuang knew the meaning behind Firefly's words, it wasn't really a confession.

Because Elio provided the ending, Firefly stood before her with anticipation and hope.

Even though she didn't know what the future held, she was filled with trust in Elio and anticipation for Lin Shuang.

Even though Lin Shuang herself didn't care whether her life had any meaning, she was still willing to offer her blessings to such a person.

I also hope you can successfully find the meaning of life.

Thank you, Lin Shuang.

As she spoke, Firefly Ying looked around and then pointed to a shop and said:

"How about we check out that store?"

"Sure."

Lin Shuang smiled and followed Firefly's steps, watching her skirt flutter and feeling the vitality and enthusiasm emanating from Firefly.

"This place is known as 'Little Penacony,' supposedly because you can find local specialties from all over the world here, but in terms of experience, it still can't compare to the real Penacony."

Firefly mentioned the nickname of this popular game, whose elaborate and detailed design makes it playable as 'The Sims' even without the combat.

I really want to visit Penacony.

Firefly's tone was filled with expectation.

Compared to the digital world in virtual games, where the gap between reality and reality is clearly perceptible.

Penacony's Dreamscape would obviously be more realistic and perfect.

"How about we set the location for our contract in Penacony, Firefly? I'll try to get Invitation to the Charmony Festival."

Considering Firefly's current physical condition, Lin Shuang couldn't very well take Sam to a planet to register; that would be too absurd.

For a more comfortable contract fulfillment, Penacony is a good choice.

Just thinking about Penacony Charmony Festival inevitably brings to mind the first chapter of the story, where Firefly is stabbed and turned into Firefly Sausage.

Although subsequent revelations and analyses suggest that being stabbed was not actually a tactic, but rather a condition that triggered some crucial information.

But thinking about it, it's still pretty outrageous.

If I actually dragged myself to Penacony to get married, and then we were both assassinated right after the wedding, that would be too ridiculous.

However, the thought of the Firefly also being stabbed raises the question of whether I would send the Firefly or with the Firefly.

It's also possible that Acheron might kill that Monster with a single strike.
