Firefly: "Why Aren't You Making Any Snarky Remarks?" / Firefly, Who Can't Get Enough of Lin Shuang
"We've finally met in real life, Lin Shuang."
The dress, primarily white and green, features cute lace and bows on the cuffs and hem, adding to the girl's charm.
The dark coat made Firefly appear less light and airy.
The gradient stockings only deepen in color at the ankle.
It makes one want to explore just how adorable those cute and delicate little feet are hidden inside those white leather shoes.
Firefly seemed to be suppressing her emotions, her smile was very gentle, but her slightly trembling eyes betrayed her true feelings.
"Yes, we've finally met again in reality, Firefly."
Lin Shuang also stood up and walked to Firefly, extending her right hand generously.
Firefly lowered her gaze to Lin Shuang's palm, then carefully placed her right hand on it.
Finally, I could feel Lin Shuang's body temperature.
Looking at the hands that had finally met in reality, Firefly felt a lump in her throat.
He hadn't even been able to do anything for Lin Shuang yet, and he had already received such a huge favor.
Suppressing her emotions, when Firefly raised her head again, her face was filled with a bright smile:
"Now, allow me to introduce myself again. My name is Firefly, the Stellaron Hunter Firefly. Sam is my medical pod and tactical armor."
This was the first time Firefly had introduced herself in this way; it was a formal declaration from a young girl that neither Silver Wolf nor Kafka had ever heard before.
As she said those words, Firefly looked directly into Lin Shuang's eyes with intense passion.
In the real world, when she first declared her existence as 'Firefly,' she wanted Lin Shuang to be the first to hear it.
"So formal..."
Lin Shuang felt a little Firefly by the intense gaze and the sudden self-introduction.
She subconsciously raised her free hand to scratch the back of her neck, and then cautiously said:
"So, my name is Lin Shuang? I don't belong to any faction."
Firefly, of course, didn't mind the overly monotonous self-introduction.
She even thought Lin Shuang's introduction was very good.
Her small hand, which had been loosely clenched into a fist, unconsciously loosened and grasped Lin Shuang's hand.
Lin Shuang looked at her right hand, which was being held tightly, and then at Firefly's expression. For a moment, she couldn't bear to break free.
So Lin Shuang changed the subject:
"Speaking of which, where is this place?"
"Azur Star, the location of Kafka and Silver Wolf's next mission, I remember. Lin Shuang, weren't you planning to come too? This room is for you too."
"So this is Azur Star. No wonder Silver Wolf doesn't come to play."
"Let's go~ It's time to go on our date."
Firefly took Lin Shuang's hand and started to walk towards the door.
Volume 1: Chapter 119 Firefly: Why Aren't You Complaining?
The air quality on Azur Star is excellent, and the vast expanse of vegetation blends perfectly with the entire city.
Following the Firefly away from the stronghold, Lin Shuang saw for the first time this kind of city style, which was full of technology yet had a strong natural atmosphere, since she came to this world.
The Port Star we passed by before had a much worse overall environment, and its mixed architectural style made it look quite rough.
However, the Xianzhou is, after all, a huge Spaceship, and the sky and other elements are simulated, so it naturally lacks some of the original's charm.
It's clear that the administrators of this planet have put a lot of thought into it.
Moreover, it seems they've put a lot of effort into pleasing the Herta.
Lin Shuang even saw a rather tall Herta statue serving as a landmark of the city.
Firefly noticed Lin Shuang's gaze, followed it, and then introduced with a smile:
"It's said that most cities on Azur Star have iconic landmarks like sculptures or portraits of Ms. Herta. And those areas are usually quite lively. Want to go check it out?"
"OK."
Listening to Firefly's eloquent speech, Lin Shuang nodded with a smile.
In her heart, she wondered if Firefly had done some kind of strategy planning beforehand.
Otherwise, how could she have so skillfully taken me out on the street?
Lin Shuang glanced at her hand, which was still being held by Firefly. Firefly was half a body length ahead of her and could see her delicate profile perfectly.
Upon closer inspection, Lin Shuang realized that Firefly was wearing makeup.
Moreover, it was the kind of makeup that, at first glance, looked like she wasn't wearing any makeup at all, which further accentuated Firefly's charm.
I've never seen Firefly wearing makeup when we met in the game before.
Besides, Firefly usually stays in Sam, so it's good enough that she can still wear clothes; why would she bother to put on makeup?
Perhaps she was already a little embarrassed because she was wearing makeup, and now Lin Shuang was staring at her so intently.
Firefly's face slowly turned red. She tilted her head slightly and looked at Lin Shuang, her slightly upturned eyes appearing particularly alluring.
"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with my face...? This is my first time wearing makeup, and Kafka taught me step by step."
"You look so good on your first makeup session! It really brings out all your best features. You're amazing, Firefly!"
"It's mainly because Kafka is amazing. But it's good that it's not strange; I was worried it might look odd."
The Firefly, feeling embarrassed by the praise, scratched its cheek.
"How could that be? It's beautiful."
Lin Shuang was generous with her praise, and in no time at all, she made Firefly blush.
The Firefly instinctively quickened its pace and walked towards the parked car.
Public transportation on Azur Star is very convenient.
Small public Aircraft that can carry two or three people can be found anywhere along the roadside.
Firefly seemed a little unaccustomed to public transportation, and somewhat awkwardly led Lin Shuang onto the bus and into a seat.
Fasten your seatbelt, and Lin Shuang looks at Firefly sitting in the driver's seat, asking curiously:
Does Firefly have experience flying this kind of small Aircraft?
"Um..."
Upon hearing the question, Firefly turned her head and winked at Lin Shuang:
Does opening a medical pod count?
"... That definitely doesn't count."
Lin Shuang found it somewhat amusing; was Firefly really this kind of goofy person?
But it's quite cute.
"..."
"..."
Lin Shuang didn't say anything, just watched Firefly and waited for her to start the car.
For some reason, Firefly also stopped what she was doing, staring at Lin Shuang with a hint of expectation, blinking her eyes.
For a moment, the carriage fell silent.
"?"
Lin Shuang tilted her head in confusion, and Firefly looked back at her in confusion as well.
After waiting a while, seemingly realizing that Lin Shuang really didn't intend to speak, Firefly came back to her senses and said somewhat shyly:
Why don't you complain about me not having a driver's license?
"Pfft... So you wanted me to complain, huh?"
Hearing Firefly's soft complaint, Lin Shuang couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"Hmm..."
Firefly's cheeks puffed out slightly, as if she were scolding Lin Shuang with her eyes for not only not picking up on the joke but also making fun of her.
Lin Shuang's face flushed red as she forced back her laughter before raising her hand and saying:
"Okay, okay, I'm not laughing anymore, so this car can be driven without a driver's license?"
Although the topic had finally been picked up, Firefly felt it would have been better not to. She turned her head away from Lin Shuang beside her, but still answered softly:
"Autonomous driving doesn't require Driver's License."
As she said this, Firefly had already manually entered the destination.
Then, accompanied by a futuristic sound effect, the car lit up its dashboard and smoothly drove out of the parking spot.
Looking at the traffic outside the window, Lin Shuang leaned back comfortably in her seat and suddenly spoke:
How was the cake roll?
The sudden mention of this topic caught Firefly a little off guard, but after thinking about Sam's test results this morning, she said:
"It's stronger than expected; almost none of the active substances are excreted through metabolism. The only question is how long it will last."
The effective drug components and that unknown power remained in the body for a longer time than Firefly had anticipated.
It seems that after it spreads throughout the body via blood circulation, it directly detaches itself from the life activities of cells.
After one night, the damage was minimal.
This means that the Firefly will be able to stay active in the outside world for a longer period of time than she expected.
Thinking of this, Firefly looked at Lin Shuang again and couldn't help but say:
"Thank you so much for giving me the opportunity to go out without any worries."
"You've thanked me more than once; you don't need to say it every time."
Lin Shuang quickly waved her hand; she was really not used to such a formal, face-to-face thank you.
Firefly smiled gently. The more Lin Shuang acted without expecting anything in return, the more she wanted to repay her.
At the same time, she felt an increasing urgency to carry out the mission assigned to her by Elio, a task she had never undertaken before.
The small Aircraft was very fast, and it didn't take Lin Shuang long before she saw the huge Herta sculpture that was hundreds of meters tall.
How many Herta sculptures like this are there on this planet?
Lin Shuang looked up at the enormous sculpture, her skirt obscured by a building of unknown purpose.
The Firefly beside them were also gazing up at the sculpture of the Herta, shaking their heads with a smile:
"... have no idea."
Looking at the Herta in the sculpture, which appears to be in a thoughtful pose, Lin Shuang wondered if the Herta felt embarrassed when it learned about this.
But then I thought, Herta is probably quite old, and he's the kind of person who's narcissistic about his own portrait, so he probably doesn't feel embarrassed at all.
On the contrary, she'll probably be quite satisfied because many people come to admire her beauty.
Volume 1: Chapter 120 Yearning for Lin Shuang's Firefly
The two craned their necks to look for a while before leaving, while the tourists around them all raised their cameras to take pictures.
However, neither Lin Shuang nor Firefly had any intention of taking a photo in front of the Ms. Herta's sculpture.
Firefly took out her phone and fiddled with it for a while, then smiled and handed the content on the screen to Lin Shuang:
