She also realized that she had spoken out of turn. Duty and rules were one thing, but most importantly, you definitely couldn't ask Xia Wuyou directly, not even indirectly... Her relationship with Xu Shi was unusual, wasn't this just asking for trouble?

Thinking about it, she felt a little scared, but at the same time she wondered why she would do such an unwise thing.

It's probably really due to Xu Shi's abilities... He got a little carried away by one move, his superpower is really hard to defend against.

This made her realize that she might have to speed up her actions; procrastination would only harm herself.

Shen Qin calmed herself down silently.

...

There are two sides to the story.

After completing the deployment and ending the meeting, Xu Shi finally had a moment to relax.

It's not that I'm too free, but going home is no problem.

"...Wow! Xu Shi, you finally decided to come home?!"

The door opened, and Gu Yi greeted them with a mix of surprise and reproach.

That's right. Xu Shi hasn't come back much these days, and Su Lin hasn't come back either... The huge house is empty except for her, Little Black Rabbit, who feels quite lonely.

If it were before, she would probably be overjoyed. It would be better to never see that scoundrel Xu again and never come back. But now it's different. Not seeing him makes Gu Yi feel empty, like a kitten scratching at her heart.

Actually, you can see him by making a video call, but seeing him but not being able to touch him is only a small comfort. It's not as good as having him in person in front of you.

Do you even understand the value of silver, cough, stigmata? (dge)

"I'm really surprised you didn't turn the house into a pigsty."

Xu Shi did not refuse her embrace, but he still teased her.

Can't you say something nice?

Upon hearing this, Miss Black Rabbit angrily slammed her headbutt into his chest.

"Then I'm really sorry."

Xu Shi flicked her forehead back, his tone devoid of any apology.

"...Fine, play games with me and I'll forgive you."

Gu Yi keenly realized that she would not get anywhere with this, so she tactfully changed the subject.

"OK."

Xu Shi nodded. He had promised her before, so he would keep his word.

I'm a person of my word!

If we're talking about what Gu Yi really wanted to do with Xu Shi, it would naturally be the most popular game in Night City, "God's Descent".

This is an open-world adventure game developed by an unknown company, where the chosen ones will...

Xu Shi was a veteran player before, and although he had never played this game before, he picked it up very quickly.

As he played, he felt a sense of familiarity, as if it were that incredibly popular game from a past life...

Yes, that's right, it's "Give Her Love".

He even recalled the days when he would print out cheat codes and memorize them; good heavens, he knew them better than he knew his English textbooks.

It must be said that the game itself is quite well made. In addition to the regular version, players can also experience the joy of the game in an immersive way through a special game helmet.

Including sensory feedback... this has a bit of a consciousness upload feel to it.

The truth is that this technology is not as advanced as imagined. At least from Xu Shi's perspective, it doesn't really count as uploading consciousness, like in The Matrix where you just plug a tube in and live inside for the rest of your life, without having to worry about eating, drinking, or relieving yourself.

However, it cannot be denied that this provides a certain degree of secrecy for the game, and many gray or even illegal transactions can be carried out easily here. Just think about the original work, didn't Shen He often use such channels to pass information to other people in the organization?

It does have its merits, though.

However, perhaps it's because he's really getting old, even so, the pleasure that games can bring him is not as great as before. Although he admits that this thing is attractive, he doesn't have the same enthusiasm as Gu Yi.

Of course, different social status is also a very important factor.

The workers in Night City love this game mostly because they can do many things in it that they can't do in real life—go on a killing spree at the drop of a hat, enjoy luxury cars and beautiful women, and earn hundreds of millions of game coins... But for him, these things seem to be achievable in real life as well.

If one only pursues the virtual world, their interest will naturally diminish.

On the contrary, it was Gu Yi herself in her arms who aroused her more interest.

Yes.

The two were playing games in a very intimate way.

Xu Shi sat on the beanbag chair, lounging lazily, while Gu Yi sat between his legs, half-lying in his arms.

The height difference between the two is there, but it doesn't obstruct their view.

And today, Miss Black Rabbit's outfit is also very cute.

She wore a light blue silk nightgown, thin white over-the-knee socks, cat-ear headphones, and her hair was loose, giving off a strong "homebody" vibe.

This is completely different from her previous street style... To be honest, she has changed a lot. It seems that after my intentional or unintentional reminders, she has started to pay special attention to her appearance.

It would be even better if she didn't use foul language... But Xu Shi had to admit that it seemed only Gu Yi would be like this, completely unconcerned about her words and actions, occasionally spouting out some strange and unusual words.

He also liked that she retained this personality trait; it was one of her defining characteristics.

Xu Shi simply threw away the controller and became restless.

"...Hey, weren't we supposed to be playing games?"

Even if Miss Black Rabbit was focused, she couldn't ignore him groping her body. She didn't turn around, but her tone already carried a hint of complaint.
