What Family Means! / A Missed Fortune and Seel's Invitation!

"Sirin".

Having obtained ten supply cards, Ling Xi seemed to have other ideas and asked, "Since I can get supply cards this way, then... can I... find more people and keep using supply cards?"

"Theoretically it's feasible, but..."

Sirin smiled slightly and said, "There's a prerequisite: the target's favorability towards you must be above 90. Only targets with such a high favorability rating meet the achievement requirements, so..."

Sirin said in a serious tone, "Your idea is theoretically feasible, but practically impossible. After all, the favorability I'm talking about is absolute favorability. Hypnosis, altering consciousness, or simply being a fangirl won't work."

"Yeah..."

Ling Xi nodded silently after hearing this. It was indeed the case, and it was fortunate that it was so, otherwise... she really did have the idea of using the supply card, although... it was just an idea.

However, it seems that this path is clearly not feasible now. After all, to reach a 90% favorability rating, one basically needs to be completely open with the other, which is obviously unrealistic for someone like me who isn't very good at flirting with girls.

"Sirin, besides the four of them, are there any other people around me who meet the criteria?"

Thinking of this, Ling Xi asked curiously, although she thought it was unlikely, but... what if it was?

"Yes, I have."

Sirin nodded decisively and smiled, "And... there are two of them!"

"Huh? Two people?"

Sirin's answer left Ling Xi completely dumbfounded. No way, not only were there two, there were actually two more...

Which two people?

Ling Xi really couldn't imagine which two people they were, so she decided to ask Sirin.

"First, your assistant to Dr. Mobius, Klein."

Sirin answered without hesitation, saying, "Moreover, she met the requirements several months ago, and there was a surge in applications more than a month ago. I suggest Ling Xi choose her; you're sure to succeed."

Ling Xi speechless. "That's just ridiculous."

However, Ling Xi doesn't have any particular feelings for Klein for the time being. After all, although she and Klein are very familiar with each other, their communication is basically all about work.

"And the other one?"

After ruling out Klein, Ling Xi was also curious about who the remaining person was.

If it's someone I know well, then I might consider it. After all, the other person's favorability can't be faked. Since it's already reached 90, it means that the other person is sincere. So why not reciprocate their feelings?

So, I might give it a try to be the next person that Sirin mentioned!

"Seriously? You couldn't even guess that?"

Ling Xi first made a sarcastic remark, then said, "It's your Sakura's younger sister, Ling. Her affection level for you, Ling Xi, reached 90 half a year ago!"

"Puff..."

Ling Xi suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. Damn it, it was actually Ling... How could I have forgotten about her?

Um, okay, I take back my previous thought. After all, if I pushed Seele, I could explain it by her nationality, but what if I dared to touch the bell...?

Well, let me put it this way, I guess only Zhang Wei would dare to take on your case!

Chapter 332: So-called Family!

"Why..."

After returning to the real world, Ling Xi sighed. Supply cards, supply cards... If only I could buy them with real money, I would be willing to pay ten thousand times more!

Unfortunately, reality isn't a game, so spending real money on in-game purchases is obviously impossible.

However, it seems that Sirin hasn't posted any missions lately. Could it be because she's been too idle?

Because missions are usually triggered when the plot requires making choices!

So, if nothing unexpected happens, when Sirin Seele a herald, she will probably give herself a task as well.

Ling Xi closed her eyes and walked while thinking. Although she couldn't place all her hopes on Sirin, based on her experience, there was a high chance that an option would be triggered, and perhaps... there would be an option to give Seele a chance to survive. This could be a backup plan.

"Bang..."

"Mmm..."

Suddenly, Ling Xi felt like she bumped into something, quickly opened her eyes, and then saw Klein.

"Um... I'm sorry, Klein!"

This time, although Klein wasn't knocked down, the documents in Klein hands were scattered all over the ground.

"Whew, when you walk, remember to look ahead..."

Klein simply sighed, then said nothing more, silently crouching down to pick up the scattered documents from the ground.

"Hehe, sorry, I was just thinking about something."

Ling Xi, of course, felt awkward leaving, so she squatted down to help Klein salvage the documents, but...

Favorability 90?

Ling Xi couldn't help but look at Klein with some curiosity, feeling very puzzled. She and Klein really didn't have much interaction. Even though they saw each other almost every day, it was more like just meeting up. How did she manage to raise her favorability rating to 90?

"What's wrong? Is there something on my face?"

Klein noticed Ling Xi's actions, as Klein was actually secretly watching Ling Xi.

"Uh... no, I just wanted to see if Senior Sister Klein had dark circles under her eyes."

Ling Xi smiled and casually made up an excuse. After all, it was a reasonable excuse; Klein rarely had days without dark circles under his eyes.

Klein: "..." If you can't speak, then shut your mouth, okay?

Klein ignored Ling Xi completely, finished organizing the documents, and turned to leave. He had so much work to do and didn't have time to chat with Ling Xi.

"Klein, staying up too late... is very bad for your health!"

Ling Xi casually offered this suggestion, and it wasn't just idle talk; it was based on scientific evidence!

Of course, Ling Xi also knew that this was as good as nothing to Klein. Just like young people today, everyone knows that staying up late is harmful, but they still want to stay up late.

"Okay, I'll be careful..."

Klein gave a casual reply, then took the documents and went back to her office.

Ling Xi was speechless. "..." That 90% favorability rating... is it real?

Look at the Doctor and the others, then look at Klein. The difference is just too huge. Even Rin, whom he only sees as a younger sister, is very clingy to him, while Klein...

Yes, the most familiar stranger...

"Sigh, never mind, let's go find Seele..."

Ling Xi didn't say much about it and went to find Seele, wondering how the Doctor's testing was going.

In his office, Klein glanced at himself in the mirror and noticed dark circles under his eyes...

I want to rest too, but... there's just so much work for Doctor!

"Awoo..."

At noon, Ling Xi held Seele, who was lying on the verge of death in her arms, feeling somewhat speechless, because... the Doctor's test was really...

That's too scientific!

"Seele, you've rested for so long, shouldn't you get up?"

Ling Xi shook her leg slightly, signaling to Seele that it was enough, and said with a smile, "It's already noon, aren't we going to have lunch?"

"Hmm..."

Seele also left Ling Xi's arms, looking somewhat helpless, but still smiled and said, "Let's go then, what would Ling Xi like to eat?"

"That depends on what the restaurant has."

Ling Xi led Seele towards the restaurant and said with a smile, "I remember the food is rotated every week, and today it seems like Seele have your favorite spicy chicken."

"Hey? Is there chicken to eat?"

Upon hearing this, Seele immediately perked up. Spicy food, that's what girls should eat!

"Yes, they definitely have them. If not, I'll have them make them now!"

Ling Xi answered very confidently. Of course, she had the right to do so. After all, all the employees in the research institute were, in theory, employees of her Doctor. As the boss, what was wrong with asking the cafeteria staff to add some dishes?

"Pfft..."

Hearing Ling Xi's domineering answer, Seele laughed out loud, but still said, "If you don't have it, don't bother them. Besides, if it's made fresh, it will take at least an hour from preparing the ingredients to serving it. I'll be starving by then."

"Okay... Seele says."

Ling Xi just smiled and led Seele outside.

"Hey, you two, where are you planning to go?"

The two had just stepped out of the laboratory when they bumped into Elysia was coming from the opposite direction.

"Let's have lunch, Elysia, do you want to come along?"

Seele also very generously invited Elysia to go with her.

"Heh, sure, but..."

Elysia chuckled softly, "Seele Sister Seele, shouldn't you call me 'older sister'? After all..."

As Elysia spoke, she leaned close to Seele's ear and whispered with a chuckle, "My car still smells..."

Seele "..."

Seele's face immediately turned as red as a crab, extremely red.

"Haha, just kidding."

Elysia quickly laughed and said, "Ling Xi used two bottles of air freshener yesterday, and now my car only smells of air freshener. There's no other smell at all. So I have no idea what happened yesterday."

Seele: "..." I don't believe you for a second...

However, Seele gave up struggling at this point, after all, how could this be kept from Elysia, and besides...

Although she didn't want to admit it, Elysia had indeed been in a real relationship with Ling Xi before she was, so...

"Sister Elysia..."

In the end, Seele still managed to utter that cry with a face full of reluctance.

"Hehe, so good, little sister Seele."

Seeing that Seele was so obedient, Elysia was very satisfied, so she smiled and said, "Seele didn't die, so from now on we're family. We should get along well."

"Yes, I will, Elysia- neechan."

Seele nodded obediently, because from a practical point of view, they really were a family, although... this family seemed a bit large.

Afterwards, Elysia joined the group of people who were eating rice, and the three of them went to the research institute's cafeteria for lunch. As for the afternoon...

Since we don't have anything else to do, let's just take Elysia and Seele out to play!

Chapter 333: A Mistake and Seele's Invitation!

"Mmm, it's been so long since I've gone out to play like this!"

In the evening, Elysia sat on the sofa, lazily stretching her body.

This afternoon, Ling Xi called me out to play again. All I did was shop and wander around. It's a pity that Ling came along too, otherwise, maybe Ling Xi could have taken me and Seele to the hotel... cough cough, to change clothes or something!

"Awoo..."

Next to Elysia, Seele also sat down. She had done strenuous exercise with Ling Xi yesterday and had been out playing for so long today. Although she was very happy, she was really tired!

"Mmm, it feels so good that my sister didn't come along..."

Next to Seele, Ling sat down and said with a smile, "Today, you can eat as much ice cream as you want and buy as many snacks as you want. If my sister were here, she definitely wouldn't let me eat so much. Ling Xi, next time we go out to play, please don't invite my sister along, okay?"

Ling Xi: "..." Ling-meimei, you are truly filial!

"Ling Xi".

After lying down for a while, Seele sat up and looked at Ling Xi with a smile, asking, "Are you hungry? Do you want me to prepare some late-night snacks for you?"

Although all four of them had eaten dinner before returning, that was two hours ago, and they had been wandering around for quite a while afterward, so they might be hungry now.

"No."
