Chapter 112: The Queen is online. System prompt: Wen Yi’s favorability towards you…
Wen Yi stared at him in surprise: "You... can speak?"
NPC, actually a real person's consciousness was connected. Just as Gu Yifeng was about to speak, a system prompt sound suddenly rang in his ears:
[System prompt: Brother, I forgot to remind you - don't let her find out that you are a real person!]
[System prompt: The purpose of the simulation experiment is to completely dissociate her consciousness.]
[System prompt: Don't let her realize this is a virtual world; make her believe everything is real. The more immersive, the safer.]
[System prompt: Brother, please make sure to play an NPC that conforms to the preset logic.]
Gu Yifeng lowered his eyes and his gaze fell on Wen Yi.
She was tilting her head, staring curiously at his...abdominal muscles, with a burning light in her eyes.
——It seems that only he can perceive this system prompt.
He paused for a moment, suppressed his turbulent emotions, and continued to maintain his "basic NPC" persona, answering her expressionlessly:
"able."
Wen Yi breathed a sigh of relief and thought: It’s good that he can speak, otherwise these eight-pack abs would be in vain.
She nodded with satisfaction.
Since this is her exclusive NPC...it should be okay to touch it, right?
She quickly looked up—there was no one around, only Guo Qingyu looking out in the distance.
Wen Yi's heartbeat quickened slightly, and she took a step closer. Her sinful little hand couldn't help but reach forward.
Gu Yifeng was reading the information on the system panel when he suddenly caught a glimpse of a figure approaching from the corner of his eye.
He lowered his head——
A slender white hand had quietly slipped under the hem of his shirt.
Her slightly cool fingertips gently touched his abdominal muscles.
Buzz——
His muscles suddenly tensed, his breathing stagnated, his pupils shrank slightly, and he almost grabbed her wrist.
[NPC: Dr. Gu (Customized Version): !!!]
[NPC: Dr. Gu (Customized Version): How should we handle this situation?]
[NPC: Dr. Gu (Customized Version): System!! Where's the system!!!]
[System prompt: It is recommended that NPC remain calm.]
Before he could suppress the tingling sensation that shot up from his spine to his head, he heard the little head beneath him muttering to itself:
“It feels really good!”
After saying that, she pinched it lightly, and her fingers sank into it.
Gu Yifeng: ...
My brain shut down immediately.
Is this sensory feedback system 100% authentic?! It's so real!
[System prompt: Wen Yi's favorability towards you +1]
“…” He gritted his teeth and forced himself to stay calm.
[System prompt: Brother, it seems she really likes this body. Please continue to work hard to maintain her character and avoid OOC.]
[System prompt: Emotions are fluctuating violently! Please remain calm!]
As soon as the system sound fell, the little hand in the clothes loosened slightly.
“Wow, it really bounces back!” she exclaimed.
[System prompt: Wen Yi's favorability towards you +2]
Gu Yifeng just breathed a sigh of relief, but the little hand showed no intention of withdrawing. Instead, it slowly stroked upwards along the muscle lines, reaching his chest.
She tilted her head. "My pecs are perfect too. Is that a bonus that comes with custom abs?"
Gu Yifeng: ...
All the blood in my body rushed to my head and my body trembled slightly.
[System prompt: Wen Yi's favorability towards you +1]
The cunning fingertips came back again, moving down along the curve, passing over the waistline, and suddenly stopped.
"Wow!" Her eyes lit up, "She even has a six-pack!"
Wen Yi's heart beat faster and she couldn't help but look up and gave a thumbs up to Gu Yifeng, who had an expressionless face.
[System prompt: Wen Yi's favorability towards you +3]
The veins on Gu Yifeng's forehead twitched slightly, and his expression control was on the verge of collapse.
[NPC: Dr. Gu (Customized Version): System, come out! What can I do now?!]
[System prompt: Brother, please let her immerse herself in the wonderful experience.]
[NPC: Dr. Gu (Customized Version): ...Zhuo Er, don't ask me for your future letters of recommendation!]
【System prompt: Brother, you are so cruel! 】
He closed his eyes, his Adam's apple rolled, and he tried hard to keep his voice steady, trying his best to play the role of an NPC: "...What should we do next?"
She paused and said, "If you hadn't told me, I would have almost forgotten!" She withdrew her hand from his shirt.
Gu Yifeng finally breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time, he felt an indescribable sense of loss in his heart.
Wen Yi's eyes narrowed, and she quickly switched modes. She looked serious and lowered her voice to explain:
"Our mission now is to find someone." She glanced at the bustling crowd on the deck. "His name is Zhou Yazheng, and he's hiding somewhere on this ship. Soon, he'll cause chaos and unrest on the ship. He's the one who tricked me and ended up in the river."
Gu Yifeng's pupils suddenly shrank.
Zhou Yazheng?! Did she fall into the water because of him? His face darkened, and his knuckles cracked.
"Listen, act according to my mood. Find him and stop him." She remembered Zhou Yazheng's betrayal and attempt to expose her secret of time travel, and she couldn't help but feel hatred welling up in her. "If all else fails, just throw him into the river."
"……clear."
Wen Yi's gaze turned and fell on Guo Qingyu in front of her, and an idea came to her mind - why not take this opportunity to keep him away from trouble and escape.
"Did you see that man?" She raised her hand and pointed at Guo Qingyu not far away, then turned her head and winked at Gu Yifeng.
Gu Yifeng looked in the direction she pointed, his eyes darkening slightly. After a moment, he said calmly, "I see."
Wen Yi was just about to say, "Protect him," when the NPC next to her suddenly took a step forward without any warning. Before she could finish her words, he was already striding towards Guo Qingyu.
"Hey, wait a minute—!"
Gu Yifeng took two steps at a time, raised his right leg suddenly - and with a clean and neat kick, kicked Guo Qingyu out of the railing!
Guo Qingyu drew a perfect parabola and fell straight into the river.
Plop!
Water splashes everywhere!
Wen Yi: “…”
???
She froze in place, her mind blank for three seconds before she let out a heart-wrenching scream: "Ahhhhhhhhhh!!!"
She rushed to the side of the ship and looked down - oh no, everyone was gone!
Wen Yi pointed towards the river, her voice trembling with fear. "You, you, you, what are you doing?! Who told you to kick him overboard?!"
Gu Yifeng retracted his legs and asked calmly, "Hmm? Isn't he Zhou Yazheng?"
"He's not! He's Guo Qingyu! I want you to save him! Why did you kick him into the river?!"
Gu Yifeng paused slightly, his eyes revealing a bit of innocence: "I just acted according to your expression."
Wen Yi took a step back suddenly: "..."
The air froze instantly.
[System prompt: NPC behavior exceeds preset logic! ]
[System prompt: Wen Yi's favorability towards you -3]
The river breeze blew by, but it couldn't blow away the eerie silence.
No one spoke.
[NPC: Dr. Gu (Customized Version): Where's the system? What should we do now? Can we still get the person out?]
【System prompt: ……】
[System prompt: Brother, there is good news and bad news, which one do you want to hear first?]
[NPC: Dr. Gu (Customized Version): Bad news.]
[System prompt: The good news is that she is now completely immersed in the dungeon, and the progress of consciousness dissociation is 99%]
[NPC: Dr. Gu (Customized Version): There's an error in the system. I want to hear bad news.]
[System prompt: The bad news is—Wen Yi's favorability towards you is continuing to decline.]
[NPC: Dr. Gu (Customized Version): What will happen then?]
[System prompt: If your favorability drops to a negative value, falling below the critical value, Wen Yi may leave you and choose to act alone.]
Gu Yifeng's brows furrowed slightly. After a long pause, he softly sighed, "...Tsk, what a hassle."
He was silent for two seconds, then suddenly turned around and strode towards the lifebuoy stand on the wall.
Wen Yi was stunned: "Where are you going?"
Without even turning his head, he said calmly, "Make amends."
Wen Yi's heart skipped a beat. She watched him take off the lifebuoy without hesitation, feeling deeply moved.
Ultimately, this misunderstanding was also her responsibility. She hadn't explained it clearly, but Gu Yifeng had stepped forward without hesitation. How could he bear the consequences alone?
[System prompt: Wen Yi's favorability towards you +2]
She bit her lip, made up her mind, and quickly caught up: "Wait a minute, I'll go too..."
Before he finished speaking, Gu Yifeng raised his arm and threw the lifebuoy into the river with a "whoosh".
The water splashes lightly.
He turned his head and said seriously, "Remediation is complete."
Wen Yi: “???”
Her pupils trembled: "Is this the end? Guo Qingyu is still in the river!!!"
"I know, that's why I threw the lifebuoy down. Okay, let's continue looking for Zhou Yazheng."
Wen Yi froze in place.
[System prompt: Wen Yi's favorability towards you -5]
[System prompt: Warning! Wen Yi's favorability towards you is approaching critical value! Please pay attention to the NPC's behavior logic!]
[NPC: Dr. Gu (Customized Version): System! Pull him out! Now!]
[System prompt: Sorry, the system cannot perform this task. ]
[System prompt: But you have unlocked a new item - Get a lifeboat x 1]
Wen Yi widened her eyes, pointed at the bright yellow lifeboat that suddenly appeared behind Gu Yifeng, and said in horror:
"Gu, Gu Yifeng... did you see that? Here... a lifeboat appeared out of nowhere!!!"
[NPC: Dr. Gu (Customized Version): Pay attention to the coordinates next time you drop items!]
【System prompt: Understood.】
Gu Yifeng grabbed the lifeboat and said calmly: "...Let's go!"
A few minutes later, a bright yellow boat slowly paddled on the river.
Gu Yifeng rowed the boat while Wen Yi sat at the stern, scanning every inch of the surging water, searching for Guo Qingyu.
They searched again and again along the way they came, but still found no trace of him.
Wen Yi lowered her head, sadness flooding her heart like a tide - if she could do it all over again, could she still not save him?
"What is your relationship?" After a long silence, Gu Yifeng finally spoke.
Wen Yi stared at the surging river, her eyes hollow, as if she was muttering to herself, "He's here, he saved me..." She gave a wry smile, tears welling up in her eyes, "I'm most afraid of owing someone a favor. But... he made me owe him my life."
"From that moment on, I was trapped in a dark prison, waiting day and night for a soul that would never return."
Gu Yifeng stopped paddling.
[NPC: Dr. Gu (Customized Version): System, give me the exact coordinates of where he fell into the water.]
【System prompt: Already marked.】
A muffled sound of "plop" startled Wen Yi, who was lost in her sad memories. She turned around suddenly and found that she was the only one left on the boat.
"Gu Yifeng?" She shouted towards the river, "Gu Yifeng?!"
"Come back!"
She hurriedly grabbed the oar and cut through the water, but only ripples appeared and nothing appeared.
“Come back!!”
“Don’t scare me!!”
“Gu Yifeng!!!”
…
After shouting until her voice was hoarse, Wen Yi fell to her knees in despair with a "thump", tightly grasping the oars with both hands, tears instantly streaming down her face, "Come back! I have already lost Guo Qingyu..."
Her voice trembled, "Now even you are leaving me?!"
No one responded.
Only the river water gently slapped the hull, again and again, slowly and stubbornly, like a soul trapped at the bottom of the river, struggling to climb onto her boat, waiting for her to lower her head before suddenly dragging her into the abyss.
Wen Yi slowly closed her eyes. At this moment, she felt neither shocked nor afraid.
If the person waiting for her at the other end of the abyss is Gu Yifeng, what is there for her to be afraid of?

In the laboratory, Zhuo Er stood in front of the main console, staring at the data that was constantly refreshing on the screen.
[Consciousness Dissociation Degree: 100%]
The subject has completely lost touch with reality.
After a moment, Zhuo Er said, "The first stage is completed, prepare for the next stage."
