Chapter 103 Intimacy
So Huo Xiu's thunder energy dropped by another 2 points.
As for Kaka, he could now be electrocuted and then shamelessly ran into Huo Xiu's cabin to take a shower.
While Kaka was taking a shower, another player successfully climbed over the wall and entered.
Huo Xiu looked up and saw a somewhat familiar face.
That Jade-belted Swallowtail butterfly.
He looked around warily, and when he saw that Huo Xiu was the only one in the garden, he quickly smiled, "Sir, nice to see you again! Do you remember me? The Jade-belted Swallowtail Butterfly?"
Huo Xiu nodded.
Jade-belted Swallowtail was even happier. He introduced himself, "I was in such a hurry last time that I didn't have time to introduce myself. My name is Fielding."
"Huo Xiu."
Rarely, Huo Xiu took the initiative to extend his right hand.
Fielding was flattered. He hurried forward and shook hands with a red face and trembling hands.
His hands were stiff and he didn't dare to use any force at all.
Instead, Huo Xiu tightened his right hand slightly, and his warm fingertips left residual warmth on Fielding's hand.
When Huo Xiu let go of his hand, he saw Fielding holding his right hand cherishingly in front of his chest.
But he didn't care, he was more concerned about the status bar in the upper right corner.
Unfortunately, there is still no intimacy column below the satiety level.
Huo Xiu was a little surprised.
When he first met Kaka, the word "intimacy" was already there. Although there was no unlocked data and it was just a row of question marks, the word "intimacy" was there after all.
As for Fielding, he had already completed the steps of exchanging names and light physical contact, but there was no intimacy column.
Is it because of insufficient contact or because the players’ initial identities are different?
He remembered that Kaka had called himself his fiancé when they first met, and the diary also mentioned "female insects with a high degree of compatibility."
Maybe Kaka is the female insect with a high degree of match?
Or maybe it's because the [Outing Mission] is triggered together with Kaka, so other players cannot trigger it?
There is too little information now, so Huo Xiu cannot make a conclusion.
After triggering the outing mission, Huo Xiu has always wanted to try the intimacy issue with other players.
Huo Xiu didn't want to go out with Kaka. Kaka was clingy and sharp, which made it inconvenient for his next move.
Moreover, he does not play by the rules and is a source of danger that is very difficult to control.
But... currently this quest seems to only be triggered with Kaka.
This is a difficult situation.
"I left in a hurry last time and didn't have time to pollinate the pear trees. It's better this time..." Fielding said excitedly. He cleverly changed 'died too quickly' to 'left in a hurry'.
Although the game's NPCs will automatically ignore these words and only capture key words.
But Fielding inexplicably did not want to embarrass himself before his Excellency.
Huo Xiu coughed lightly. He had already used chicken feathers to pollinate the pear tree a few days ago, but he needed further contact with Fielding to verify whether intimacy could be established with other players besides Kaka.
Anyway, the only victim is now lying naked in the chicken coop, so there will be no other evidence.
"Okay." Huo Xiu nodded in agreement.
The only variable at the moment is Kaka who is taking a shower in the bathroom. Maybe he should chop Kaka back to the resurrection point first.
However, the next moment, the door of the cabin was pushed open.
Kaka was wearing a white bathrobe with a loose belt around his waist. His hair was not blown at all, and water droplets kept falling down his platinum hair, wetting his eyelashes.
"Honey, please be gentler next time. It hurts all over my body."
As he spoke, he walked out, his emerald green eyes naturally resting on Fielding.
"Yeah, there are other bugs here?"
Fielding froze when he saw Kaka.
The last time he was sent back to the resurrection point, he left the Flower Town angrily and went to the arena.
He sent a challenge to ID729839.
Kaka soon accepted the invitation.
In the arena, Kaka was wearing the simplest primitive clothing. He was tall but thin. The challenged person had the right to choose the battle mode.
And he didn't even choose a mecha, opting for unarmed combat.
There are two main battle modes in Godless World.
The first is mecha battle, in which the driver can choose the pain level according to his or her tolerance, because this battle mode tests the mecha driving level and tactical qualities more.
However, the threshold for this mode is relatively high. In real life, only female insects above level B can drive mechas, while in the game this is relaxed to level C.
At the same time, the game is very realistic, and the steps of driving a mecha can be said to be one-to-one restored to reality, so there are also many female soldiers who specialize in honing their skills in the game.
The second mode is weapon-free combat. This mode returns to the essence of combat - the female insects compete with only hand-to-hand combat skills.
To ensure the safety of the participants, pain perception must be activated to at least 50%. This allows the female insects to feel the thrill of battle while effectively preventing damage from excessive atavism.
But there is an unwritten rule in "Godless World".
That is, mecha battles are the default for military females, while unarmed combat is the default choice for non-military females.
The reason is very simple. The excessive degree of realism in mecha battles will cause female insects who are not military females to be far inferior to military females with rich mecha driving experience in this aspect.
Fielding is an A-level female insect, and her ranking in the arena is also within the top thousand. At the same time, she is also a military female.
He took the initiative to suggest that the pain sensitivity be turned down to 50%, after all, he didn't want to bully the weak.
However, Kaka adjusted the pain sensitivity to 100% without blinking.
Since Kaka is so ungrateful, don't blame him.
——Ten minutes later, Fielding woke up in the game cabin.
Kaka forcibly pulled off one of his wings after it had regressed to its ancestral form, and the severe pain forced him to eject.
This is a protective device installed on the game cabinet when it leaves the factory.
Even on the battlefield, Fielding had never suffered such serious injuries.
Although it was only in the game and his real body was fine, the pain was deeply imprinted in his mind. This also caused the elytra on his back to ache whenever he saw Kaka.
With a slight breeze, Huo Xiu saw Fielding turn into blue data and disappear into the garden.
This is……
Offline.
Kaka continued to approach Huo Xiu, his emerald green eyes filled with a smile, but the smile was endless.
"Why would I want to come into contact with other bugs?" He tilted his head, and with this movement, more water droplets slid down his wet hair, soaking his shoulders. "Am I not good enough?"
"You haven't even shaken hands with me." He said it with a bit of grievance. His wet eyelashes were also light in color, which weakened the coldness in his green eyes.
Facing such a Kaka, Huo Xiu actually felt a strange sense of guilt.
This guilt is similar to...
Cheating.
After Huo Xiu woke up, Kaka was indeed the person who stayed with Huo Xiu the longest.
He not only provided food for Huo Xiu, but even brought chickens and cows.
Although it is a bit annoying, it is also a great sacrifice.
"Sorry." Huo Xiu said.
He hesitated for a moment and stretched out his right hand again.
Kaka's still steamy hand immediately came up.
He was completely different from the shy and stiff Fielding. Kaka held Huo Xiu's hand tightly as soon as he came up. He even stretched out his hands and wrapped Huo Xiu's palms in his own palms.
Huo Xiu’s arm stiffened.
Kaka looked at him with a smile.
“It has increased.”
Huo Xiu subconsciously looked at the status bar in the upper right corner of his body.
【Intimacy 4/100】
Just shaking hands actually increased my score by two points.
Can intimacy grow with physical contact?
Seeing that Huo Xiu did not take his hand back on his own initiative, Kaka raised his eyebrows and looked into the ancient Zerg's black eyes.
He moved closer.
The distance between the two gradually shortened.
"Hey, little farmer, do you know what I discovered?" Kaka stood in front of Huo Xiu, his hands still clasped in his. "When our limbs are connected, can you no longer electrocute me?"
“…”
Huo Xiu was speechless.
To some extent, that is true.
Thunder energy does get very close to him, but he can also be hurt when it's purely offensive thunder energy.
Just like before...
Huo Xiu suddenly stopped.
Like before what?
His mind was blank, and the fleeting thought was like a coin thrown into the sea.
But it told him one thing.
——He does have a “past”.
But he has forgotten now.
"What are you thinking about?" Kaka observed Huo Xiu's expression. Just now, for a moment, he felt a fresh breath from this NPC.
But Huo Xiu is connected to the Zerg's largest database, so it seems natural for him to have some "emotions" and "thoughts".
As long as there are enough samples.
Huo Xiu lowered his eyes. He was slightly taller than Kaka, and the hair on Kaka's head rubbed against his cheek.
"Hair." Huo Xiu said, "It's not dry yet."
"But I don't know if I can use your towel." Kaka said with a smile, appearing quite polite and reserved.
This sentence was so contrived. He had put on Huo Xiu's bathrobe hanging in the bathroom without permission, but he didn't know which towel to use.
And behind Kaka was a long rope pulled by Huo Xiu, on which were hung clothes and towels that needed to be dried.
The design of "Godless World" is quite rigorous. Because Huo Xiu is an ancient Zerg, other male Zergs in the garden town live in high-tech houses or have luxurious villas and private Zerg housekeepers, while Huo Xiu only has a small wooden house, which naturally does not have any high-tech bathing appliances.
He didn't even have a pest control terminal, and he even had to plant crops and feed chickens in the vegetable garden himself.
But Kaka thinks this setting is very good, otherwise how would he have the chance to wear Huo Xiu's bathrobe?
Huo Xiu pulled a towel warmed by the sun from the clothesline and handed it to Kaka.
However, Kaka did not take it, and his hands were still tightly holding Huo Xiu's right hand.
"My hands are busy, fiancé."
Kaka laughed and then moved his wet head closer.
"Could you please wipe it for me?"
“…”
