Chapter 127: The Twelfth Day of Building a Home in the New World. Tonight is also...
Day 12 of Building a New World Home:
"Did you do this on purpose today?" Hawkeye asked suddenly without getting up immediately.
Wendy tilted her head, a confused expression on her face. "Huh? What?"
"... Never mind, it's nothing." He had never figured out the problem anyway... Hawkeye put down the red wine in his hand, paused, but did not stand up.
Wendy belatedly realized something was amiss. She stared at him with a frown, her eyes sharp. "Mihawk, are you going to go back on your word again?"
"Stop blaming me," Hawkeye sighed. He wasn't one to hold back, but he spoke frankly. "You said you downloaded a new mod, and then you mentioned postponing the wedding. Naturally, I'd assume you'd changed your mind and postponed it again."
"I promised you that I won't change!"
Hawkeye wasn't convinced and pointed out a problem: "You previously agreed on the wedding date, but now you've changed it. Isn't that a change?"
Wendy blinked, a little confused. "But I promised to marry you, Mihawk, six years ago, and the wedding date hasn't been postponed. The wedding date is the wedding date, and wedding dates are always changing."
She really didn't lie about this.
After all, she had informed so many people of her wedding and had prepared gifts, but the time had been changed several times. Because it had changed so many times, she didn't feel that she had promised anyone that the specific time of the wedding would remain unchanged. She had only informed her friends, and some of them had even notified them of the postponement.
After all, the only thing that remains unchanged is the time it takes for a mod vacancy to become available, and the agreed time is this year.
She did so immediately after discovering the new mod could be loaded. She was a little late because the wooden sign incident put building a house first and she had no time to pay attention to other things, so she forgot about it.
Hawkeye was stunned for a moment, then realized something: "So... you think marriage and a wedding are two different things?"
"Of course," Wendy nodded, still explaining to him, "Marriage is just between you and me, and the wedding is about inviting everyone to have fun, and then I'll take the gifts."
Hawkeye: “…”
From this point of view, there is no way to refute her... After all, the wedding is for outsiders to see.
...Forget it, it’s not the first day he knows her personality, he has been mentally prepared for it.
As long as I'm sure she didn't mean it or intend to break her promise... No, I'm still a little angry. Although I don't blame her.
"Mihawk."
"Um?"
Wendy continued patting the empty seat next to her, looking a little anxious: "Hurry up! The night is almost over!"
...Why was she the one pushing for it? So, were her expectations for the same thing as his? — Hawkeye was truly unsure.
After being so embarrassed, he couldn't feel anything but confusion. He looked at her eager expression, hesitantly sat down on the bed, and asked, "Wait a minute, Wendy, you mean try..."
Wendy blinked, her expression full of surprise. After staring at him for a moment, she sighed, even sounding a bit regretful: "So it's you who can't do it, Mihawk."
Hawkeye: “…”
Although he secretly breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that he was not mistaken, this kind of groundless provocation and questioning was really unreasonable.
Now I feel like I’m not sulking anymore, but I’m starting to get a little angry.
Wendy was completely oblivious. After he lay down, she slid over and swiftly rolled over to lie on top of him, pressing her hands on his chest. Her golden hair fell against his bare skin, and she showed an understanding expression: "Forget it, it's okay. I can teach you."
...it seems that I'm not that angry actually.
He raised his hand and placed it on her waist. After a moment of silence, he replied, "I can... but you can teach me if you want."
…
…………
The next morning, Wendy suddenly opened her eyes and sat up as soon as it was light. She greeted Hawkeye, who had woken up and was looking at her, with a refreshed look on her face: "Mihawk, good morning!"
There is a reason why she is so energetic - because for people in famine, sleeping is to restore three-dimensional values.
The only difference is that before, she had to use props such as awnings or tents to fall asleep, and she couldn't sleep in broad daylight. But now with the marriage mod, she can fall asleep smoothly as long as she sleeps with her marriage partner.
Now her health and spirit are both full, so of course she is in good condition.
As for the activities before bed, she considered them a prelude to a good night's sleep! Having previously seen that the marriage mod required players to be over 18 years old and use an adult body mod, she knew exactly what kind of gameplay this would involve.
She just felt the experience was a bit too long, raising the threshold... She'd thought there'd be an anti-addiction mechanism. This mod was truly dangerous, no wonder they had to sign the "Marriage Mod Usage Guidelines and Ethics Agreement"... though it was so long she didn't even read a word, just scrolling to the bottom and ticking "Agree."
Now that I think about it, maybe I should have read it more carefully.
"Well, good morning." Hawkeye responded to her, feeling relieved to see her so energetic.
After all, last night was quite noisy... But he couldn't be blamed entirely. The main reason was that Wendy clearly knew only a little bit, but she was very teaching spirit and enthusiastic. He didn't understand where her blind confidence came from.
And at the beginning, she also wanted to try to see if she would be attacked by Charlie in the complete darkness...
After Hawkeye extinguished the light in the room with some concern, she found that she was not attacked by Charlie, and then she happily rubbed against him and said something like "From now on, when I'm with Mihawk, I won't be afraid of the dark anymore"...
Hawkeye believed that he was just used to being alone and not sociable, which made him appear calm and composed, not that he was a bad person. At that time, anyone would have taken that as an invitation.
What's more, his night vision ability is also pretty good.
Wendy stuffed herself with food to restore her hunger while sitting there obediently and letting Hawkeye comb her hair.
Although she could actually go to the closet and change her clothes with just one click, she saw that Hawkeye liked to do so so she let him do it - after all, he also liked touching her hair last night.
After stuffing two meatballs into her mouth, Wendy checked her 3D readings and was stunned. Huh? When did her 3D readings get so high? She remembered them being constant.
Even if it was a cheating mod, it would hit Abigail, not her. She and Abigail don't share it, right?
Could it be that because the versions are different, there's now a level progression? But sandbox games aren't RPGs, they don't have levels... Or is it like a newly updated mod, with system rewards and upgrades based on her quest progress and map exploration?
Wendy, perplexed, dug out the "Marriage Mod Usage Guidelines and Ethical Agreement" she'd quickly skimmed through yesterday, barely reading a single line. Finally, she found a clause that explained the current situation: [13. During the marriage, if the other party's 3D stats are higher than the player's, the 3D stats of the other party may be shared, provided they agree and wish to do so; vice versa.]
Although the marriage vows have something like "I am willing to share everything I have with you"... I didn't expect it to be the same here.
Wendy opened the friend list again. Just like the parent-child relationship, Hawkeye's name also had a prefix this time - [Partner] Joracle Mihawk.
She suddenly turned her head to look at Hawkeye with surprise in her eyes, and looked at him with a somewhat unfamiliar look, as if she was discovering it for the first time - was Mihawk trying to share everything about him with me before I asked the question?
"What's wrong?" Hawkeye noticed that the other person's eyes were a little different. After waiting for a while but not waiting for her to speak, he couldn't help but ask first.
"Hmm... I was thinking, Mihawk, you really do like me." Wendy concluded with a serious face.
"...Why are you suddenly saying this? This is the truth, and I have never hidden anything." Hawkeye did not deny it, but was a little puzzled as to why the other party suddenly brought this up.
"You're still different, Mihawk. You're different from everyone else," Wendy concluded, leaning forward to hug him. "Then tonight will be the same, too."
"...Okay." Hawkeye swallowed back the question "What's the difference?"
Wendy stood up after braiding her hair and happily went about her new daily routine.
Hawkeye followed closely behind and went out to carry out his usual activities.
Crocodile noticed and snorted. "Hawkeye has been so easily coaxed into submission by Wendy Carter again, right? How long has he lasted? Just one day? How shameful!"
Robin also saw this scene, a smile appeared on his face, and he breathed a sigh of relief secretly - it seemed that they had reconciled... There was no need to worry about this small group that was so comfortable together for the first time falling apart.
Wendy must have coaxed Mr. Hawkeye into calming down quickly... well, she seemed to only care about Mr. Hawkeye's mood changes.
"Wendy, you have a new hairstyle today."
"Yeah, Mihawk stabbed me."
"Hey—it's very cute."
Crocodile also heard it and looked at Hawkeye with a look of disdain: "Aren't you exaggerating a bit?"
Hawkeye glanced at him and appeared calm: "Of course you don't understand."
...No, who wants to understand? He means that your embarrassment has doubled now! — Crocodile's disgust was evident. He ignored this person and ran to give Wendy a daily reminder: "Hey, Wendy Carter, don't forget that your territory is not big enough..."
"I know, Crook, you always say the same thing. It's annoying." Wendy said as she grabbed a blank piece of paper from Robin's desk and started writing. "For things like this, I can just put a word in the newspaper."
The other three were stunned for a moment, looked at each other, and then leaned over to read what Wendy had written.
After reading it, the three of them fell silent.
"...Your wife is quite amazing." Crocodile commented.
"You don't have to tell me." Hawkeye squinted.
"It's indeed a powerful move." Robin replied with a smile.
However, Robin still raised a question: "But will the Newspaper publish this?"
Crocodile had no doubt: "They even published the nonsense that Wendy Carter said while sleepwalking, so how could they not publish this!"
Wendy was confused and turned around to ask, "Hey? Mihawk, do I sleepwalk at night?"
Hawkeye said calmly, "Don't listen to Sand Crocodile's nonsense."
Wendy nodded immediately and didn't care about it anymore - all she had to do now was wait for the next news bird to come and have it publish the letter!
Following the information that Wendy had the news bird deliver, a week later, two pieces of news appeared in the newspaper that attracted everyone's attention.
One is the bounty order for the player and Hawkeye's son, Portgas D. Ace;
Another is a call from player Wendy Carter in a newspaper.
"I'm expanding my territory. Everyone in the New World, if there are any nations that want to join me, please raise Abigail's flag! I'll come over and raise my sign once I see it!" - Wendy Carter, Captain of the Eternal Continent Pirates.
-----------------------
Author's words: After getting married, Wendy's personal data has been epically enhanced [dog head]
P.S. Actually, marriage only requires sleeping together, not necessarily exercising. It’s just that the mod also opens this activity, just like the Star Valley mod. I remember there is also an 18r description [smirk]
And yes, by now you should know the consequences of Wendy's proposing and getting married everywhere in the IF line, and even her reason for finding a new marriage partner is very morally superior (?) - you haven't shared your three-dimensional values with me, I know you definitely don't really love me, so goodbye, I'm going to find my next true love [rookie]
And it’s definitely all turned off. Firstly, I don’t want to be locked out, and secondly, this style isn’t suitable for risqué writing! [Pigeon] Aren’t we writing a comedy novel?
I can only guarantee daily updates these days, and I will take my time with additional updates... Because I'm on my period and not feeling well [clown], I'll prioritize rest and quality updates. [sunglasses]
