"Sword Princess's leave request"

"'I have to play a very important game tonight, so I need to take a leave. I hope you don't be ungrateful.'"

"Effect: Paid Leave (1/15) (Bond Level 1): 30% of the mana you gain from exploring the virtual realm will be shared with the members who are on leave."

"Effect: Bonus Share (1/10) (Bond Level 2): ​​30% of the faction realm you gain from exploring the virtual realm will be shared with the members who requested leave."

"Effect: Shared Prosperity (1/5) (Bond Level 3): The special mechanisms you encounter while exploring the virtual realm have a chance to be shared with the members who requested leave."

Can operators still ask for leave?!

If I dare to ask for leave now, I dare not even think about what I will be able to do in the future.

I asked for leave and they still want to share my commission! ? Share my project experience? !

Is this really a game produced by my company? Shouldn't annual leave be equal to nothing, sick leave be treated as absence, and personal leave be deducted from bonuses? And what does this (1/15) mean? Does it mean that Fiora can take 15 days of paid leave?

I have 15 days of paid vacation a year. Are you exploiting me?

...Wait, is this quota refreshed once a year or once a month?

Ash didn't dare to think about it any further, otherwise he would be dragged into the quagmire of memories from several years of his working life and fall into an irretrievable depression, just like a young man who has turned over a new leaf and cannot recall the days of hell.

However, Ash was not surprised that Fiora triggered her personal storyline. He had heard her talk about a college league in school before. Obviously, this was the way for Fiora to show off, the chosen one. Presumably, Fiora's first main storyline would be to beat the college league, and then go through some classic fantasy stories like abyss training, aristocratic infighting, and then become a legendary magician step by step.

If you think about it carefully, Fiora's storyline is much more fantastic than Ash's. He starts in the academy, then plays in the competition. As long as he is involved in some national conspiracy and finally becomes a member of the team to save the world, it will be a complete and orthodox fantasy storyline. Unlike Ash, who starts with Prison on Fire, which is a relatively rare type in police and gangster movies.

I really want to see Sword Princess’ show-off scene…

Speaking of which, although Sword Lady kept talking about the trivialities of her life, Ash actually had no real sense of it, and his understanding of her life was only a pale story described in words.

It was only when Fiora suddenly threw in a note asking for leave in order to participate in the competition that Ash realized that Fiora did have another life - that was her reality. She had family, friends, teachers, distant dreams, and little happiness within reach.

But there was no Ash inside.

The End Watcher and Death Madness Fiora are just friends in the virtual world. Just like Fiora cannot touch my life, I cannot watch Fiora's games.

When he thought of this, Ash felt a little lonely, just like when a netizen who worked together seamlessly in a game suddenly said he had to accompany his girlfriend tonight and couldn't come - it was like he was betrayed.

However, he quickly calmed down his little emotion and secretly cheered for Fiora.

As long as Sword Princess wins, she can get more resources and more opportunities to continue to advance her personal plot line...

...But if she loses, will she not continue with the plot line and have more time to explore the virtual world with me?

Phew~

Ash sank into the bathtub and held his breath. It took him almost a minute to float up. He cleared his mind of boring thoughts, brushed his teeth, changed into pajamas, and prepared for tonight's exploration of the virtual world.

Since Sword Lady can't come, then it's only Ash and Witch tonight?

In "Virtual Realm Exploration" - "Team Composition", Ash pulled himself and the witch in.

…

…

"Sister, help me wash my hair!"

White Queen: "No, it's the third day. You have to at least learn to take a bath by yourself. You can't rely on us for things you don't like!"

"Ouch... the foam is in my eyes! It hurts!"

Liz reached out to turn on the shower, but her foot accidentally slipped and her butt was about to be broken into pieces. She suddenly reached out to the ground, somersaulted on the spot, and stood steadily on the water-stained wooden board.

I saw that half of her white hair turned red, her expression became very cold, and she sat on the small stool and continued to wash her hair.

The White Queen in the mirror said unhappily, "Xiao Hong, just spoil her! What kind of child doesn't even know how to wash her hair? Look, she even bought herself a new shampoo."

Black Butler: "It's not a big deal to know how to wash your hair. If you don't know how to wash it, then don't wash it. We didn't know how to wash it before."

"You know it was in the past." The White Queen: "These are all to cultivate her ability to live independently. She can't always come to us when she encounters a problem. What's the difference between this and Diya? Small things like this should be done by herself."

Diya: What does this have to do with me?

As they were talking, the Red Dead had already washed his hair and returned his body to Liz. Liz knew that her sisters were angry again, so she obediently completed the remaining bathing steps, dried every inch of her body with a bath towel, put on her pajamas, and brushed her teeth in advance. Only then did the White Queen's expression in the mirror ease up.

Liz returned to the bedroom and sat in front of the dressing table to blow dry her hair, but she saw herself licking her fingers in the mirror and writing a few words on the mirror:

"Tonight you come to open the door of truth"

Liz was startled: "The viewer's brother's information?"

"Hmm?" The sisters were a little confused: "What happened?"

Liz told them what had just happened. The White Queen pondered and said, "I almost forgot that one needs to pass through the Gate of Truth to enter the virtual world. I thought the viewers had other means... In other words, they were the ones who opened the Gate of Truth the first two nights?"

Black Butler: "Why do you want us to open it tonight? Are you trying to harm us?"

Diya: "Maybe it's a rotation. Tonight it's us, tomorrow it's Sword Princess, the day after tomorrow it's Observer..."

After discussing for a while, they didn't come to any conclusion. Instead, Liz couldn't help yawning after drying her hair. So Diya possessed the body, summoned the mask spirit, captured the door of truth, sank into consciousness, and connected to the virtual world.

When Diya opened her eyes, she found herself sitting in the front seat of a sports car. Last night, this scrapped car that could almost be turned into a public toilet was now completely restored to its original state.

In fact, Diya was the one who was most worried among the three whether the car could not be repaired - after all, the other two had never experienced the hardship of hiking in the virtual realm. Only she, who had trekked off-road in the virtual realm for more than a month, understood that driving in the Time Continent was a supreme treatment that even the emperor would not exchange for.

He stretched out in the comfortable seat, bending his head back into an arc that could cure cervical spondylosis: "Sword Princess, I——"

Diya suddenly stopped talking. She stood on her chair and looked around: "Where is Sword Princess? Where did she go? Did she get lost in the countercurrent of the golden rain?"

"She has a match tonight, so she's taking a day off." Ash said, "It's just the two of us exploring the virtual realm tonight."

"What game?"

"I don't know, but it was probably a battle between magicians."

"Oh, I really want to see it!"

"I want to see it, too."

After a brief exchange, Diya sat obediently, looking down at her knees, playing with her fingers. Yaxiu opened the virtual map, shook his head and said, "Unlucky, we didn't land in the Star Hall area marked on the map this time, so we can only continue to explore the unknown area."

"Uh-huh!"

The sports car plunged into the golden rain, ran over the grass, crashed through trees, and ran wildly. It was very quiet in the car. The two people were like a driver and a passenger who obeyed traffic regulations. The passenger did not talk to the driver, and the driver did not chat with the passenger.

For some reason, they all felt a little awkward.

Although they had been alone with the "Viewer" and the "Witch" before, they had come for business and left after chatting without any delay. Now it was their free time during the exploration, and they didn't have anything serious to talk about, so they needed to fill the gap with trash talk.

However, Ash and Diya rarely talk trash to each other.

Before, it was either Ash chatting with Sonia, or Diya pestering Sonia. As the most emotionally intelligent of the three, Sonia was actually the core of the team. When chatting with Ash, she would pay attention to guiding Diya to speak, and when Diya pestered her, she would pretend to be angry and talk about Ash, always keeping everyone involved, and no one would be excluded by the other two.

This was not something Sonia did intentionally. It can only be said that the social skills she had practiced in the past year have been integrated into her bones. Every look and every word is a natural miracle. She can be called a social expert.

However, as soon as Sonia was gone, the emotional intelligence problems of the two were immediately exposed - not to mention Diya, Ash's emotional intelligence was "a treasure for men". If you let him stay with men, he would naturally be able to get familiar with them quickly, but when it comes to women... he doesn't know what topic to talk about.

If Igula is next to him, Ash will start by asking, "Are you in a relationship? Do you plan to have children in the future? If you could become a beautiful girl, would you like to be a curvy lady or a soft-spoken and lithe loli?" and so on. He can keep talking trash until dawn.

The same is true for Diya. Because she has rich experience as a younger sister, she can naturally act like a spoiled child to Sonia. She dared to please Yaxiu before because Sonia was by her side, just like a child with a parent will be bolder.

Damn it, she thought, if only her sisters hadn't been exposed yesterday, then the White Queen could have come up now. But since the audience knew the characteristics of her sisters, it would be too impolite to replace them, which would be even more embarrassing.

"There is a magician projection ahead." Ash suddenly said.

"Oh, just kill him."

"Um."

An ordinary night began.
