◇ Chapter 37 Iris

Whether it was a dream or not, it was strange enough to see a silver-haired beauty kneeling in front of him like a knight.

Lin You claimed that he had no strange habits, so he reached out to help him up: "You get up first."

Lann said, "Please give me the honor of being by your side forever."

He spoke in an elegant manner, carefully choosing his words. Before Lin You could say anything, his eyes suddenly blurred and a fluorescent blue display screen appeared in his field of vision.

A cold electronic voice sounded: "Hello, host, please reject."

Lin You paused.

reject?

He didn't say it, but 66 seemed to know what he was thinking: "Refuse Lan's request to be always by your side, and say the following line."

A line of small words appeared on the display.

"Master of the Colette family, Major General Iris of the Third Army, I know exactly why you came here, and I am very interested in your proposal. But if you want to stay with me forever, I need to see your sincerity."

"……?"

These words were even more literal, and Lin You almost suspected that he was playing a script-killing game with a Western medieval background.

As if seeing his confusion, 66 briefly explained the system binding and mission objectives, and warned: "You need to play the role of the third prince Lin You and complete the story as him. As a reward for completing the role, you will get a chance to be reborn after the role is finished."

66 Warning: "For the stability of the small world, please get more than 60 points for your role-playing."

Lin You has played similar games. In some role-playing games, if your behavior is too extreme, you will be judged and eliminated.

At this time, Lan En had been half-kneeling for a long time. In the long silence, his heart sank little by little until it hit the bottom. Then he heard the Third Prince speak carefully, his voice filled with confusion as if he had just woken up: "...I know your intention very well...but I want to see your sincerity again."

As expected, he refused.

Lan laughed silently.

He has already given himself to the male insect, and from now on he can no longer accept the pheromones of other male insects. If this is not sincerity, then what is sincerity?

However, this situation is understandable. The male insect knows that he has no way out and will only press forward step by step until the last drop of blood of the Colette family is squeezed out.

But even so, Lan En didn't show it at all. He stared at the male insect almost obsessively, leaned over and said respectfully: "I will let you see my sincerity."

“…”

It is no exaggeration to say that Lin You got goose bumps all over his body.

This scene is too much like a novel or a game, and the beautiful woman in front of him is like a manipulated puppet, or a pre-set NPC. He performs the fixed lines and script with emotion and passion. He seems to be full of emotion but it does not show in his eyes. He just wants to please the players in front of the screen.

Lin You glanced at the screen, and the system typed out another line of words: "The plot of this stage has ended. Please let Lan En leave."

Lin You breathed a sigh of relief: "I want to rest, please leave."

Lan picked up his clothes, bowed, and left silently.

Not until his figure completely disappeared in the hall did Lin You heave a sigh of relief and sit back on the soft big bed.

The system quietly floated out and encouraged: "The completion rate is very high, host."

Although she maintained a cool and noble image in front of the new host, in private, 66 was already in tears.

Look! What a good host! He said whatever he was told to say, unlike the Xie above, who asked questions but acted insincerely.

Lin You is still in a state of uncertainty.

Anyone who is playing a game and suddenly dies and logs off, and then opens his eyes to see the system bound to him and recite his lines, would be stunned.

He understood the situation after the system explained it to him. Then the system displayed the novel on the screen and asked Lin You to read it: "This is the reference text. Please study it carefully."

Lin You had just read the beginning of the first chapter of the 400-page novel. He didn't know what he had read. He suddenly reached out and patted his face. His eyes wandered up and down, and after his gaze fell on his thighs, he fell backwards and pulled up the quilt to cover his head.

system:"?"

What is this doing?

But then Lin You asked in a low voice: "So, were we doing that just now?" There was a hidden expectation in his tone.

——Has my career as a magician of more than 20 years finally come to an end?

When he first came, he felt dizzy and his heartache had not completely disappeared. Lack of oxygen and near-death caused his brain to temporarily become incapacitated. Lin You felt that the touch was strange and a little comfortable, but he could not recall the details. It was not until he read the novel that he suddenly realized that they seemed to have just started.

system:"……?"

It answered hesitantly: "Yes?"

Lin You's face suddenly flushed, and even the skin on his neck turned red.

The system felt something was wrong.

It asked in confusion: "Why are you blushing? Haven't you ever tried it once?"

Didn't he have 328 wives? Why is he being so coy now, such a philandering scumbag?

Lin You: “?”

He was slightly dissatisfied: "Of course it's my first time."

system:"?"

It felt something was wrong, and its CPU crashed a bit: "But you have 328 lovers?"

328 lovers, didn’t you sleep with any of them?

Lin You was puzzled: "328? Oh, you mean my fan base? But what does this have to do with whether this is my first time?"

"...Don't they call you their wife?"

Lin You tried to educate this ignorant system: "It's modern society. They call me wife, and they also call other anchors wife. Everyone can have countless wives and can also be called wife by countless people. Isn't this a conflict?"

system:"……?"

Shocked by the chaotic relationships in modern society, it tried to analyze the possibility of a playboy having countless lovers yet still being a virgin, and came up with an outrageous proportion of 0.003%. It then began to doubt life and completely froze.

Taking advantage of the time when the system was silent, Lin You started reading the novel.

To be honest, the reading experience of the novel is not good. It is neither sweet nor refreshing, and is filled with a lot of meaningless descriptions of violence. At the beginning of the novel, the protagonist Lane is at an absolute disadvantage.

As the eldest son of an old noble family in the empire, Lann was once engaged to the male son of the Liam family. The male son was attacked and injured during interstellar travel. Lann was accused of being the murderer. The law enforcement officer extracted Lann's fingerprints from the bullet shot at the male son. The evidence is conclusive. If he cannot be pardoned, he will end up in exile.

Lin You frowned and read two chapters. He hadn't seen much of the plot yet. Suddenly, he pointed at a line of words, his eyes shining a little: "Is Lan En a major general?"

System: “? Yes.”

It didn't quite understand the purpose of Lin You's question, but the bad premonition in its heart became stronger and stronger.

Lin You: "So he's wearing a uniform?"

"……yes."

Lin You: “!”

Lin You is more of a homebody. His hobbies are playing games and reading comics. He can be considered a 2D fan, and those who are into 2D fans usually have some special fetishes. For example, Lin You is a latent uniform control freak.

Although "Star Wars" is a shooting game, Lin You started playing it because the protagonist's uniforms can be selected.

Every time he entered the game, he would choose his equipment calmly and then operate smoothly. However, no one knew that the model of the handsome silver-haired guy in the silver uniform on the main display interface was created bit by bit by Lin You after spending half a month. He knew every accessory of the clothes. Although the accessories in the shooting game were limited, Lin You was never satisfied and felt that something was missing. It is no exaggeration to say that that was the electronic wife he made for himself.

Before logging off every day, Lin You would take twenty minutes to admire the models over and over again, and then decisively purchase them when the game updated the accessory system and put them in the warehouse.

And Lan En also happened to have white hair. Lin You thought that with her perfect body proportions and beautiful calf lines, she would be extremely beautiful if she wore a uniform.

He asked expectantly, "What color are the uniforms of the Third Army?"

system:"?"

The system's electronic heart was pounding with a bad premonition, but it still answered the host's question with integrity: "White."

Lin You: “!”

Before the system could read anything from his strangely flashing vision, there was a knock on the door.

After three polite nods, neither too light nor too heavy, an old man with silver hair walked into the room. He was wearing an elegant dress and white gloves. He bowed and placed a glass of hot milk in front of Lin You, reminding him, "Your Highness, there will be a visit from the army in three days. Please don't forget it."

The system prompts: "This is your butler."

As a prince of the empire and one of the contenders for the throne, Lin You had rights as well as obligations, and regular military visits helped boost morale. The three princes took turns to carry out the missions, and this time it was Lin You's turn.

The butler handed him the laptop, on which were drawn several icons, including roses, wild roses, pure white irises wrapped in thorns, and other patterns.

The system appeared silently again: "Select the Third Legion icon, there is a story mission."

Lin You read the first three chapters of the novel. He knew there were plot missions, so he nodded, chose Iris, and handed the computer back to the housekeeper.

The butler's expression remained unchanged, but he paused slightly when Lin You selected the third army, and a hint of sympathy flashed in his eyes.

Lin You’s maternal family belongs to the Seventh Legion, and every time he visited before, he also went to the Seventh Army.

Choosing the Third Army, where Lane was, at this time was probably to "test his sincerity."

*

The Third Legion, in the lounge.

Lane lifted his sleeve, exposing his forearm, and injected an injection into the muscle.

The fluorescent blue liquid penetrated into the blood vessels, bringing about a twitching and stinging pain. Soon his arm became slightly swollen and it felt like burning pain, but Lann showed no expression and just calmly put down his sleeves.

Devin, the military doctor, sat opposite him, crossed his legs and looked at him: "You have to get an injection when you come back. Didn't you get any pheromones that time just now?"

Lan En lowered his eyes: "Only a little, not enough."

Pheromones are one of the means to control female insects. They can make female insects obedient for a long period of time, and male insects are never stingy.

He casually tossed the coat to Devin, "Try to analyze the remaining pheromones and see if you can make a replacement."

Devin sighed, took the coat and put it into the dedicated sealed instrument: "If the Third Prince knew that you illegally analyzed his pheromones, he would probably kill you."

Lane: "I have to plan ahead."

The third prince said that he wanted to test his sincerity. Lan En had seen this method many times and was not afraid of Lin You's refusal. The wealth of the Colette family was enough to move all the male insects in the world, and the princes of the empire were no exception. However, the previous negotiations were unavoidable and Lan En had to endure them one by one.

The rest of the punishments don't matter, but pheromones will seriously affect his work. Lin You has just marked him, and in the next few months, Lann will be obsessed with his scent. This change is purely a change in body hormones and has nothing to do with his own will. Even for someone as determined as the major general of the Third Army, it is difficult to avoid it.

At this moment, the light brain on Lann's wrist beeped, and Devin's light brain also beeped, and everyone in the entire Third Army received the message.

"His Royal Highness the Third Prince will visit the Third Legion in three days. Please be prepared for the reception."

Devin smiled bitterly, "Sure enough, it's aimed at you."

Lane was not surprised.

Male insects like to treat female insects as their private property, especially those in high positions like him. It's a bit disappointing that he captured Lann but couldn't show off in front of the Third Legion.

Devin sighed slightly, "This meeting is crucial. Although you haven't been dismissed yet after what happened to you, people in our army are in a panic. There are many people who want to replace you. There were some who started a riot a few days ago, but they were suppressed. If the Third Prince treats you badly, many people will be restless."

Lan hummed expressionlessly.

He knew it, but he could do nothing about it. In the end, he just sighed and said, "I will try to shorten the group time."

On the morning of the third day, the starship stopped at the gate of the Third Army on time.

The red long-haired carpet was laid out all the way. The guard of honor had already prepared and was lined up on both sides of the starship. Lin You, wearing an elaborate formal suit, slowly walked down the starship accompanied by his butler.

Lin You is the youngest and the best looking of the three princes. He has just reached adulthood and still has the youthful look and a calm and noble look that comes from a life of luxury.

There are few male Zergs, and even fewer high-level male Zergs. For a moment, all eyes fell on him.

The top leaders of the Third Army were on both sides, with Lan standing in the center of the team. From the outside, it seemed that he was fanatically pursuing the Third Prince. At this moment, he was holding a bouquet of bright red roses, wearing carefully groomed clothes, with a perfect smile, looking at Lin You without blinking, his eyes full of affection.

Male insects always enjoy this kind of affection.

But Lin You felt uncomfortable all over.

He is an introvert and a bit of a homebody. It is already difficult for him to give a speech in front of so many people, not to mention being stared at "lovingly". Besides, Lin You has read the novel and he knows that Lan En has no feelings for him at all.

This kind of fake "true feelings" is really hard to resist.

Fortunately, the system recorded the speech for him, so Lin You didn't have to memorize it. He looked straight ahead, read the script clearly, and from time to time looked at the female soldiers below and smiled politely.

But when he glanced at Lan En, Lin You paused slightly.

…He seemed to see his electronic wife.

Lann's long silver hair was tied into a high ponytail, and his silver-white uniform completely wrapped his body without any gaps, making him look particularly abstinent. He wore black leather gloves, black leather boots, and held a bright red rose in his hand. The three clashing colors were harmoniously integrated on his body, making people unable to take their eyes off him.

But what attracted Lin You's attention more was the badge on Lan's chest.

That should be the unique badge of the Major General of the Third Army. The shield-shaped silver metal badge is engraved with pure white irises entangled with thorns. It was made of frosted spray paint and flickered a blurry halo in the sun.

Lin You seemed to know that his electronic wife in the game was missing some accessories.

The badge has smooth and graceful lines, and the thorns are bound with strength, which complements the entire uniform.

——It would be great if we could take it down and put it in the game.

At this time, he had finished reading his speech and there was applause from the audience. Lin You walked into the crowd accompanied by his butler. In the following time, he will provide a three-hour voluntary visit, including dining with senior military officials and learning about military plans.

He walked up to Lan.

Lan En had a pair of sparkling peach blossom eyes, and he looked at everyone with deep affection. He knelt on one knee in front of Lin You and performed a standard knight's salute, as if the person who came was his beloved lover. Then he held the flowers in both hands and said with a smile: "Your Highness, I hope you will accept this bouquet of roses. They come from the Guanière galaxy in the early morning and have traveled thousands of miles to reach your hands. But in my eyes, they are not even half as good as you."

The Third Army was in an uproar.

The person involved, Lin You: “.”

In a corner that no one knew about, he was about to break apart.

The male Zerg seemed to like exaggerated arias, and the female Zerg were masters of sweet talk. No one thought there was anything wrong with saying sweet words to a male Zerg they had only met twice. Everyone stared at Lin You, wanting to see the reaction of the Third Prince. After all, his attitude might determine the fate of Lann and the affiliation of the Third Army.

The system quietly displayed the plot on the screen, prompting: "You should take this bouquet of flowers, throw it hard on the ground, step on it twice, crush the petals, and arrogantly say, 'Sorry, Major General, what I hate most is roses.'"

Lin You already knew the plot, and knew that he had to complete the mission, but when it really came time to do it, he was still a little hesitant.

In public, this would be like stepping on Lan En's face and crushing it on the ground. Lin You's upbringing would not allow him to do such a thing.

During the long silence, cold sweat slid from Lan's forehead and sank into his silver hair. He pinched his palms hard, and sharp pain spread from his palms, barely stopping the trembling of his legs.

Too close.

The scent of citrus was faintly visible. They had just completed the first marking. At this time, the male insect had a fatal attraction to the female insect. Even though the drug had just been injected, the muscle cells were still not satisfied and clamored to come closer. This was a primitive and instinctive impulse. Lan En almost tried his best to restrain himself from holding Lin You's hand.

"Enough! Take it, quickly!" The physiological trembling made Lan En feel uncomfortable all over. He gritted his teeth and thought, "Then throw it away, step on it, and throw it on me. It doesn't matter what, just don't stand here anymore!"

The system also urged: "Host, you hesitated for too long."

Lin You paused, then reached out and took the rose.

Before Lan En could react, Lin You suddenly let go of his hand, letting the blooming rose fall to the ground with the flower head scattered all over the ground, and then he ran over it with his foot.

The prince of the empire looked delicate and proud, and said in a tone full of arrogance: "I'm sorry, Major General Lann, you know that the flower I hate most is the rose."

There was silence in the Third Army.

The heroes of the empire are all very spoiled, especially some of the princes, who have been pampered all year round and have their every request fulfilled. The eldest prince and the second prince are both picky and difficult to serve, and it seems that the third prince is no exception.

Lann breathed a sigh of relief.

His body clamored to come closer, but his soul seemed to be floating in the air, watching coldly, with a sense of relief that he had known this would happen.

Almost within two seconds, he smiled again: "Your Highness, whatever you like, I and the Colette family behind me will do our best to help you get everything you want."

Lan En shows off his bargaining chips all the time, reminding Lin You that even if he doesn't care about his face, he still needs to consider the family behind him.

Lin You looked down at me: "Everything I want?"

Lane smiled, "Yes, all you want... ugh!"

Lin You suddenly leaned forward, and the distance between them was less than 20 centimeters. The sweet aroma of citrus covered him all over, and his muscles instantly became sore and weak, causing Lan En to almost fall to the ground.

Two strands of silver hair fell down in embarrassment, Lan En's pupils shrank slightly, Lin You's face enlarged in front of him, the male insect raised his hand, and his fingertips fell on the iris badge.

Lin You said: "I don't like roses, but I like another kind of flower. Can you give it up, Major General?"

“…”

Lann forced a smile and said, "Of course, just ask."

Lin You: "I like the pure white iris, so can you give me this badge, Major General?"

Lan's pupils shrank.

The author has something to say:

Lin. Add random lines. You.
