Chapter 1690: Chapter 1691: Astonished, Amazed, and Delighted
Thinking of this, Deng Fang hurriedly started to run. She climbed the stairs, running faster and faster. When she reached a certain height, a golden light suddenly appeared above her head, and then her body melded into the golden light, vanishing into the horizon.
Seeing this, you smiled and nodded, then said to Wei Yingyue and the two other women, "Alright, choose two of you three for the next move."
Wei Yingyue and Du Yanan exchanged a glance. Du Yanan smiled at Wei Yingyue, "Little Yue, you go ahead. After all, I’m a cop, and this kid’s elder sister is my best friend. It’s my duty to get him out of here alive."
Wei Yingyue slightly furrowed her brows; in fact, she was most concerned about Du Yanan. She knew Du Yanan’s character very well, and from her various behaviors, it wasn’t hard to tell that she indeed had feelings for you. However, Wei Yingyue was also very aware that what Du Yanan had to face was a beauty comparable to the Nine-Tailed Fox, and compared with Du Yanan, Yan Zisu’s character was much better.
As for you, you didn’t seem to have any romantic feelings towards Du Yanan, rather it was more like camaraderie. As a result, if Du Yanan fell deeper, she would end up more heartbroken.
Just as Wei Yingyue was troubled by this, the chivalrous man suddenly spoke, "In view of all your outstanding performances along the way, an additional spot will be available on the Path to Heaven, so all three of you can leave together."
"Oh? That’s great!"
For you, the departure of the three women allowed you to freely take more action on your own.
"What’s so great about that?" Du Yanan glared at you, "Your elder sister is not here, now I’m your guardian, so you have to listen to me. You go with Little Yue and them. I’m staying."
"Come on!" You quickly took two steps back. "This is such a fun game; I don’t want to leave so early. Besides, I’m very interested in the rewards for clearing this game. Not to mention, I’ve promised Zisu, oh no, Daji, to help her unshackle and enter reincarnation."
"You..."
Wei Yingyue placed her hand on Du Yanan’s shoulder and softly said, "Yanan, some things can’t be forced; let’s leave first, and once we’re out, I’ll take you to meet someone."
"I..." Du Yanan wanted to speak again but seeing the solemn expression on Wei Yingyue’s face, she nodded, yet still cast a fierce glare at you, "You brat, don’t think being the only one left means you can act recklessly, beware of getting torn apart by those monsters!"
You shrugged, with a nonchalant look on your face.
As Xiao Xiao left, she signed to you, "Goodbye, Brother."
You smiled and nodded, watching the three of them turn into golden light and vanish into the horizon.
"Oh yeah! Now this kid can really go all out," you said, twisting your waist, stretching, and asked the chivalrous man, "Hero, what’s next?"
"Southwest, Bi Gan Mansion."
Daji continued to accompany you to the base level of the Star-picking Tower, where the chivalrous man walked faster than you, seemingly deliberately giving the two of you some space and time.
With no one around, Daji, in her plain clothes, fixed her gaze on you, a trace of attractive melancholy appearing in her brows.
"Brother Nine, there are many dangers on this journey. Be very careful. I will wait here for your return."
If Daji looked like someone else, it would have been fine, because you do have a pretty strong resistance to beauty. However, Daji resembled Yan Zisu so closely that it felt like you were facing Yan Zisu.
This only made the pity in your heart grow more.
The two of you were just a few feet apart, staring, and staring again.
After a while, you sighed deeply, "Honestly, even though I don’t know if your personality is controlled by a computer or innate, seeing you like this, even if it costs me my life, I must help you break free from the shackles."
You extended your hand to the side of Daji’s cheek, gently caressing her icy jade skin, its softness seeming to reach deep into your heart, stirring every nerve.
After all, Daji is just an NPC, unable to comprehend human emotions. Everything she had done before was merely under computer control.
However, when you touched her cheek, she suddenly experienced an extremely strange thought, and everything before her became blurred. When she regained her senses, you had already walked out of the Star-picking Tower.
Just two steps outside the Star-picking Tower, you heard a soft cry behind you, "Brother Nine."
Turning your head, a delicate figure rushed into your arms, the fragrance filling your embrace, enchanting and intoxicating.
You held the beauty in your arms, momentarily at a loss for words.
Actually, the actions of Xu Mingjie earlier had deeply moved you; although in many respects you surpassed Xu Mingjie, in the aspects of daring to love and hate, you were far behind him.
Just as you were about to speak, you felt a fresh coolness on your lips, and in that moment, you were stunned, not expecting that you, a game NPC, would steal a kiss.
Before you could savor the sweetness, Daji’s figure had retreated several steps, back inside the Star-picking Tower, quietly watching you. Soon, she was enveloped by mist, and her trace vanished.
Scratching your head, you shrugged, shaking your head as you turned and left.
Once you and the chivalrous man left, the enchanting figure of Daji reappeared in the mist at the entrance of the Star-picking Tower.
This time, Daji’s face no longer seemed as plain as before, showing an expression an NPC shouldn’t have. It was a cautious expression, very careful and prudent.
Daji wasn’t wearing shoes; her jade feet seemed as if carved from the purest Han white jade. At this moment, she gently lifted her right foot, gradually, slowly stepping onto a stone tile outside the Star-picking Tower.
The movement was slow, as if played in slow motion, until Daji’s jade foot firmly landed on the blue stone tile. In this moment, Daji was astounded, amazed, jubilant!
At this time, Daji was so overjoyed she couldn’t contain herself, unable to express her heart in words or genuine expressions.
After a brief moment of joy, Daji’s sparkling eyes flickered with a mischievous light. Then, she lightly waved her hand, revealing another Daji identical to herself inside the Star-picking Tower.
Daji gave a slight bow to her creation, then transformed into a golden light and shot towards the top of the Star-picking Tower.
Meanwhile, in a special room within the Yuhang Paradise Headquarters Building, a curious voice suddenly sounded, "Hey, strange, where did this new data come from?"
"What data?"
"I’m not really sure, a rather strange set of data, somewhat like a program."
"Oh, why bother so much? The test for this game is almost over. Our task is to transmit this collected data to the international terminal."
