Let's go to the amusement park
As Lu Yin stood in the center of the data garden, watching Lan Yi's Tree of Life wither at a visible rate, a new system notification suddenly popped up: "User Lan Yi's life energy has been detected to be below 5%. It is recommended to activate the 'Amusement Park Protocol'—by increasing favorability, special scenes can be unlocked in the real world in exchange for life points."
On the system interface, a rotating Ferris wheel icon is flashing, with the following text below: "For every 10% increase in favorability, 1 hour of real time can be unlocked. Completing designated tasks in the amusement park will grant 5% health."
Lu Yin's finger hovered above the options when he suddenly saw Lan Yi's virtual image appear in the data stream. He was wearing a hospital gown, and his fingers trembled slightly as he gestured in sign language: "Let's go to the amusement park. That's where our best memories are."
"Why?" Lu Yin's tears fell onto the screen. She remembered that two years ago, they had made a promise to go to the amusement park every summer, but since Lan Yi was diagnosed with ALS, that promise had become a pipe dream.
The system suddenly popped up a hidden protocol:
"The final command from user Lan Yi has been detected:"
When Lu Yin chose to activate the 'Amusement Park Agreement',
It will consume 50% of its emotional energy.
However, this can be exchanged for 24 hours of Lan Yi's real-world time.
Lu Yin gritted her teeth and clicked "Confirm." The data space cracked open, and she found herself standing at the entrance of an amusement park, the sunlight so bright she could barely open her eyes. A system notification sounded:
"Task 1: Kiss at the highest point of the Ferris wheel to gain 10% health."
Lu Yin's lips curled up slightly as she took Lan Yi's hand and walked towards the Ferris wheel. When the gondola reached its highest point, she suddenly noticed that Lan Yi's lips were trembling, and he gestured in sign language: "I might not be able to hold on for much longer."
"It's okay, I'll stay with you." Lu Yin gently kissed his lips, and the system notification sounded: "Mission complete, gained 10% health."
When the last task was completed, Lu Yin's emotional energy was exhausted, while Lan Yi's health had recovered to 50%. A system notification suddenly popped up:
"User Lan Yi's life energy has been detected to be stable."
Favorability ratings cycle endlessly.
The system core code 'Eternal Symbiosis' has been activated:
Love is not about consumption, but about creation.
When Lu Yin woke up from the system again, she found herself lying on a bench in an amusement park, next to Lan Yi in his wheelchair. He smiled and gestured in sign language: "You're awake."
“This time,” Lu Yin said softly, “it’s my turn to protect you.”
The system suddenly popped up a final notification:
"User Lan Yi's life energy has been detected to be stable."
Favorability ratings cycle endlessly.
The system core code 'Eternal Symbiosis' has been activated:
Love is not the end, but the beginning.
She knew that their story had only just begun.
In the final task at the amusement park, the system provided the following prompt:
"The exchange of favorability and life points is essentially a game of love and redemption."
When one party is willing to give everything for the other.
The transaction itself would lose its meaning.
Because of love, it has long transcended data.
Lu Yin suddenly realized that the real strategy was never about exchanging favorability for life points, but about creating new life with love. And the amusement park was the starting point for their creation of new life.
Outside the window, cherry blossoms fell like snowflakes. This time, however, they no longer needed a system to prove their love. Because love had already become their most powerful weapon.
