Chapter 78: Chapter 78: Home [01: A party?]

[Nightingale_Chirping: Yes, it’s a get-together for everyone to get to know each other and to change your Support partner if you meet the right person. It’s considered a form of social activity. It doesn’t matter if you don’t know how to dance.]

[ 01: No, sorry, I’m not interested.]

[Nightingale_Chirping: Oh, alright… But your Support will be there.]

[01: Just let her be.]

It was normal to abandon an existing Supporter when they meet better ones.

During his last conversation with “GloriousMoon”, he knew she was a mage and didn’t really need his Elemental Spirit Blade. So, even though his Elemental Spirit Blade was an (S) grade, it wouldn’t be something she would like to use.

The main reason she even agreed was probably due to his high Mana, which would be immensely useful to her. She would probably already look for someone else if it weren’t for that.

When he heard “Nightingale_Chirping” mention that his Support was coming to the party, Ling Yi remembered that this player had wanted to match him up with her friend.

Last time, he had only said that he was below level 20. The middleman, “GloriousMoon” had said that he could not help anyone above level 10,but he wasn’t sure of the other party’s level.

[01: What’s your level?]

If his level was high enough, he could try and be her Support partner.

[Nightingale_Chirping: Hm? Do you want to be my Support partner? But I’m level 36 now… So the level gap between us might be a little hefty.]

[01: That’s alright. I’ll be fine in a few days.]

[Nightingale_Chirping: Ah? Didn’t my friend say that you’re not even at level 20 yet?]

[01: That was in the past.]

[Nightingale_Chirping: Wasn’t it just two days ago?]

[01: …]

[Nightingale_Chirping: …]

Both sides were silent for a while before the other side spoke again.

[Nightingale_Chirping: In that case, I won’t go tomorrow. I’ll wait for you.]

The two of them talked for a little more before ending the conversation.

After closing the chat window, Ling Yi touched his chin and muttered to himself, “It seems I have found my next Support partner.”

‘Level 36… It’s enough for me to be her Support for a long time.‘

At level 36, he could quickly raise his level from level 26 to level 46. Not to mention, the other party would also level up during this period.

In reality, it might even take a month or two.

“Huaa…” Ling Yi sighed.

When he turned around, he saw Lin Shurou still lying on the sofa watching the “Overbearing Player Falls In Love With Me” drama.

She had been watching this tv series when she was bored these past few days, and he also watched it with her occasionally.

He assumed this was a popular tv series broadcasted all over the country.

The story went like this— An ordinary-looking, innocent female protagonist was saved by a pretty-faced male player in a fire. As a result, the male player fell in love with her because of her exciting view of the world and began to pursue her. A female player who had been pursuing the male player was jealous and started to throw all sorts of accusations at the female protag. After that, the male and female leads would get closer through all kinds of misunderstandings…

The main audience of this tv series was the vast number of ordinary women.

This also reflected the attraction of handsome male players to them.

It was no wonder that Lin Shurou had been “teasing” him from time to time.

It seemed that in her eyes, he was the “sheep”.

Perhaps Ling Yi has been staring a little too long because Lin Shurou finally noticed his gaze.

She blinked her beautiful eyes, then stood up, put on her pink slippers, and walked toward him.

“What’s up? What are you staring at me?”

She was wearing a white one-piece dress with suspenders today, revealing her smooth, round shoulders and long, slender legs.

Her snow-white skin and white dress complemented each other, making her look like a fairy who had walked out of the ice and snow.

Ling Yi can smell a faint fragrance from her as usual.

Sitting on the chair, he couldn’t help but stare at the skin below her neck. The slightly revealing cleavage was less than 20 centimeters away from his eyes.

Ling Yi’s gaze moved up, and he saw her looking at him with a slightly red face. He honestly didn’t know what to say.

Then, Lin Shurou held his face with both hands and kissed him on the forehead without warning, “We’re both adults. Some things don’t need to be explained. You and I both understand.” She said seriously. “If you’re willing to stay at my place for the rest of your life, then …”

She opened her mouth but paused, thinking about a more suitable word.

“Then we can spend it together,” She continued after a moment.

“If you don’t plan to do so, then you should say so as soon as possible.”

It was obvious.

She wanted to get a clear reply. He wondered if his brain had gone haywire from watching too many TV shows.

Ling Yi was stunned for a moment before he finally nodded. “I don’t want to walk around anymore. I’ll stay here.”

“You can stay here for a lifetime?”

“Sure,”

Lin Shurou smiled sweetly, wrapped her arms around his shoulders, and whispered in his ear, “Then in the future… you’ll be the master of this house.”

Her voice was sweet, and her tone was extremely gentle.

She even blew into Ling Yi’s ear. The warm air entered her ears, causing his heart to tighten.

Ling Yi had a feeling that the woman in front of him had finally let down all her defenses against him.

It was as if he could easily toy with her if he made a move now.

But the next moment, Lin Shurou released her hands and turned around. She retreated a meter away and smiled at him, “My late mother once told me that men wouldn’t cherish women if they’re too easy to get. So we still need to keep a distance from each other.”

Her wide blue eyes narrowed slightly, and Ling Yi found a touch of charm in them.

Two pink splotches rose to her white cheeks as she smiled teasingly at him.

She didn’t stay any longer and ran up the stairs, closing the door with a bang.

It was as if he was too embarrassed to stay here any longer.

There was still a faint, alluring fragrance, but it quickly dissipated when the night wind blew from the slightly opened window.

Ling Yi turned back to look at the tightly shut door. While his heart beat faster, he also felt a great sense of satisfaction.

However, if one was easily seduced by beauty, one could not be considered a strong person.

Thus, Ling Yi, who had the initial mentality of a strong person, quickly calmed down.

He shook his head and dispelled the unnecessary thoughts in his mind.

He looked at the night sky outside the window and assessed himself again.

What other shortcomings did he have…

What else needed to be improved…

…

[You have gained 3 hours from descent]

A few hours later, in the early morning, when the three-hour time was given to every player again, a new day had officially begun.

Ling Yi entered God’s Path as usual.

Standing in the camp, he looked at the other players who started to appear around him and quickly went through his goal for the day.

‘Today is the day I will pass the fourth and fifth stages.’

With [Aeolus’ Call], he finally had considerable combat power.

If he used it with the Ice Queen, then there was still a chance of killing the fifth stage’s level 30 Boss.
