Eight hours is more than enough time to save lives, but it's too short to get through the peak of the outbreak.
Yuri composed herself and said reluctantly:
"Sir, I will take you to the terminal center first. You need to return to Aphrodite immediately."
Upon hearing this, Jin Nuo couldn't help but struggle:
"Are you crazy? You really want to send me back? If you're not going to a hotel room, then put me down. I'm not going back to Aphrodite!"
The male insect is weak when it is not receiving female fluids.
To Yuri, the force of Jin's resistance was like a tickle.
Yuri explained:
"Your Excellency, I know my words are hard to believe, and I have no evidence, but I guarantee it with my life..."
Before he could finish speaking, a sharp blade was suddenly placed against Yuri's neck.
The blade was only a hair's breadth away from his Adam's apple.
The male insect guards, dressed in black uniforms, reappeared.
Lord Jin Nuo disappeared from his embrace.
When he reappeared, Lord Jin Nuo stood behind the other party, his eyes filled with a sinister and unfriendly light, and said:
"Yuri, you've crossed the line. Don't interfere in my affairs or my actions. Guards, teach him a lesson."
"Yes, Your Excellency!"
Six members of the guard surrounded Yuri.
Yuri drew his mantis blade from behind again; the green blade emitted a faint, almost negligible light.
The battle begins.
Outside the game, Ulysses' eyes gleamed with coldness as he once again took control of his game character and began the battle.
"Let me wipe out you scum in one move!"
Ulysses was ruthless. He gripped the mantis blade in a reverse grip, twisted his body with his waist, and struck the enemy's weak point.
But to everyone's surprise, Lord Jin Nuo, who was standing behind them, suddenly emitted a golden light.
"Golden Inspiration increases the attack power of allies by 6.5%."
Before Ulysses could figure out what was happening, a sharp electric shock suddenly shot through his arm, and then the screen in front of him went completely black.
[If you fail the challenge, please try again. You can increase your strength in the following ways: upgrade your equipment, enhance your equipment, and participate in the companion lottery.]
Ulysses' face darkened, and he seemed somewhat unconvinced.
In reality, a backhanded strike with the Mantis Blade would be enough to annihilate the interstellar beasts surrounding him.
But in the game, he could only follow the game's instructions, open the game store, and click on the lottery page.
An envelope stamped with a heart shape popped out.
Players are invited to draw companions to fight alongside them against enemies. Different cards offer different attribute bonuses!
Upon seeing the game system's prompt, Ulysses slid his finger up and down in the air, the envelope was opened, and a room key fell down, floating in mid-air.
————————
Congratulations on obtaining an SR card!
Name: Sweet Frosting
Character: Tu Meng
————————
Ulysses clicked on the room card, and an option appeared.
[Would you like to proceed to the card story?]
Ulysses clicked "Yes" without hesitation.
In order to defeat the enemy on the battlefield, you must first understand yourself.
Ulysses didn't recognize the new character he drew; he needed to delve into the story to learn more about him.
Hopefully, this companion can help him defeat the guard and take Lord Jin Nuo away.
After the choice was made, specks of brown starlight emerged from the surroundings and coalesced into a wooden door engraved with mysterious patterns.
Euryssi pushed open the door and went inside.
The vision was initially dark, then gradually brightened.
The aroma of powdered sugar and roasted coffee wafted to my nose.
The blurred scene finally became clear.
Ulysses saw a male insect wearing a white shirt and a brown apron, busy at the kitchen counter.
The male insect was very handsome; in Ulysses's opinion, all virtual characters in the two-dimensional world were good-looking.
The male insect has dark brown, slightly curly hair with messy ends hanging over its forehead, giving it a cute and playful look. Its tail hook flicks back and forth, indicating it's in a good mood.
Ulysses took two steps forward, approaching the kitchen counter.
"Ahem." He cleared his throat, about to speak, when he saw the busy male insect raise its head, its brown eyes full of laughter.
Ulysses thought of two words: gentleness.
"You're back." The male insect's voice was very pleasant, slightly hoarse, slow and deliberate, like a lover's whisper in the ear.
Ulysses suddenly didn't know how to respond; he didn't know this game NPC named Tu Meng.
The male insect put down the sugar jar, came to his side, looked up at him, and asked with a smile:
"Does your shirt look good today? I made it myself."
Ulysses's lips twitched; he hadn't expected this male insect to be a tailor.
He nodded perfunctorily:
"You're beautiful. I...I want to rescue Lord Jin Nuo. May I ask what your abilities are?"
Tu Meng did not answer Ulysses's question, but gently took Ulysses's hand and placed it on his own waist.
“Pick me up, Yuri.”
Ulysses stiffened awkwardly. Should he... hug him? He turned his head guiltily and glanced at the door.
He also wanted to rescue Lord Jin Nuo, after all, he had just kissed Lord Jin Nuo.
The female insect is responsible for the male insect.
However, while Ulysses was still thinking, the game character Yuri had already picked up Tsuchimome.
Tu Meng leaned close to Ulysses' ear and said in a gentle, slow voice:
"This shirt is made of sugar threads, it's very sweet, would you like to try some?"
"Oh, and also, the candy will disappear once it's all eaten. Which part do you want to eat first?"
Tu Meng's words caused Ulysses's brain to freeze. It took him a long time to realize what those words actually meant.
Suddenly, Ulysses blushed from his neck to his face.
His whole body stiffened, like a rusty machine, as he clattered and turned his head to look at the pocket on Tu Meng's left chest.
Sugar...made of sugar?
In the game, Yuri has already leaned forward, sticking out his sinister head.
Outside the game, Ulysses resisted with his whole body, his head tilted back, his expression terrified, and he shouted:
"No! No! I just fell in love with Lord Jin Nuo at first sight! I can't betray Lord Jin Nuo!"
But as the white shirt dissolved, Ulysses, like a boiled red shrimp, was steaming hot all over.
His expression was contorted, as if he were about to laugh or cry.
Five minutes is such a long time to show a card.
When the game character walked out from behind the door, a card appeared in Ulysses' hand.
