Chapter 161 - Preparing to Dive

The next morning.

With the click of the door closing, his Misa's footsteps faded away, her fragrance gradually dissipating.

"Aah..."

Alain yawned and sat on the edge of the sofa where his "bro" was sound asleep.

After being "exercised" by Misa again last night, his back was a little sore today, and he hadn't slept well.

"Gaa... gaa... gaa..."

In contrast to Alain's tossing and turning, Milly was sleeping soundly, letting out cute, delicate snores.

It only just hit him then. He couldn't believe that in this real world, he had somehow gained another girlfriend. And she wasn't the crazy type like his ex.

Gazing at the girl's peaceful sleeping face, the soft sounds of her breathing revealing a deep sense of attachment, she looked incredibly cute.

Well, since I'm here, I might as well tease her a little.

Alain leaned down, intending to give her a quick peck.

He had meant for it to be a light, fleeting touch. But his "bro" didn't seem to want to let him go so easily.

In her sleep, she was particularly insatiable.

What could Alain do? He could only satisfy his girlfriend's needs.

He would be heading into the game world this morning and probably wouldn't be back until night. So, replenishing his "bro energy" was a necessity.

Alain simply lay down on his side next to her, enjoying a moment of peace.

This time, he would be taking Misa with him into the game, heading to version 1.15 to find the short-haired older sister and the short-haired younger sister. While discussing future strategies against the viruses, he also needed to obtain crucial information about the core. Then, he would try to finish off the modified entity he hadn't managed to eat last time.

As he was thinking, the sleeping girl's assault began.

She gently wrapped her arms around Alain, leaving no space between their two "battlefields."

Bro... she's so assertive when she's not awake.

Alain felt the warmth of his "bro's" embrace, trying to continue his line of thought.

But Milly had no intention of letting him go.

In her dream, she was like a traveler in the desert, greedily drawing water from an oasis.

It was a real eye-opener for Alain, who had only just become her boyfriend last night.

As expected of my bro, she's exceptionally gifted.

Alain didn't mind. They were a couple now; it was fine to be a little more open.

He closed his eyes and opened them again, trying to get himself under control. In his peripheral vision, he saw the chainsaw next to the wreckage of the failed prototype. That thing had been a huge help. This time, he could probably bring it into the game world to fill the combat power gap before the progress bar reached 75%.

He just didn't know if it would pass the cloud storage's security check. The security guard's standard for approval required items to be weapons for defeating viruses. And its definition of "virus" and "defeat" referred to bullying the bad woman. He could try to pass the chainsaw off as a gift for Crazy Mita, to trick it into the cloud storage.

Or... he could actually give it to Crazy Mita as a gift.

His bad woman, after hearing him carelessly say she "wasn't suited for a chainsaw," had actually thrown away her most familiar weapon: the chainsaw. Bringing her one from the real world wouldn't be a bad idea. Of course, it all depended on whether the security guard would recognize the chainsaw as a necessary item for dealing with the virus.

At that moment, Milly's closeness paused. It seemed she was generously giving him some time to breathe.

Is it over? That was fine. He could wake Milly up and have her go wash up.

But unexpectedly, whatever she was dreaming about, she wasn't done.

She became like a nimble rope, her arms and legs tangling around him, binding and locking him in place.

He was having a little trouble breathing...

No! Even if I have a girlfriend, it won't stop me from killing viruses!

Although it was a bit hard to break free, and his "bro" was so intoxicating...

That's right... the best course of action right now is to check Milly's progress bar.

Being in a relationship wouldn't hinder his progress. He reaffirmed this to himself.

But the rhythm of Milly's attack suddenly changed.

It was as if she were wielding a drunken staff in her sleep, striking his shield again and again. As everyone knows, Milly was a Chu swordswoman, and a Chu swordswoman's attacks are generally without method. Her wild, chaotic flailing completely threw him off, breaking his stance and shattering his shield's defense.

Indeed, being in a relationship wouldn't hinder his progress.

He just couldn't resist... her French kissing was amazing. Each one ignited Alain's fighting spirit.

No... career, career! Alain silently admonished himself.

He focused his attention on Milly's progress bar, trying to use the distraction to suppress a certain natural uprising.

[Bug Fix Progress Bar: 100%]

This probably meant that Milly had completely adapted to the real world and could live a normal life like an ordinary person.

Alain felt relieved.

The concepts that "Mita and the player are exclusive" and "Mita is a one-on-one romance game" must have been major obstacles preventing Milly from adapting to reality. After their mutual confession last night, those obstacles had been completely removed.

He focused his attention on the 100% reward.

[Anywhere Door V2: Upon use, the next door opened will lead to a safe, unvisited version.]

[Uses: 1]

The Anywhere Door, and only a single use...

According to the description and his past experience, the security guard's definition of "safe" meant a version where no viruses existed. It was either a version that Crazy Mita hadn't reached yet, or one that hadn't been affected by viruses like the modified entities.

In simpler terms, it was giving him a chance to meet a completely new Mita.

A brand-new one.

After meeting the older sister and killing the modified entity, he could give it a try.

But only one use, that was just too damn cruel.

Milly felt that she had slept particularly well today. There was a sweet taste in her mouth, as if she'd been sucking on a piece of candy.

In fact, her dream last night had been just like eating candy, filled with images of Alain.

They dated in the dream, fell in love, argued, made up, and finally chose to get married, living a full and happy life together.

The girl's consciousness gradually returned. She remembered last night's confession and realized that she now had her own exclusive player—Alain—and her very first lover.

At that thought, a wave of sweetness washed over her again.

Insatiable, she made a small wish:

The first person I see when I open my eyes must be Alain.

Though it was probably impossible. He and his "friend" might have already gone to the game world.

Speaking of which, why is my mouth so sore...? What's going on? It feels like I really was eating a sour piece of candy.

Confused, the girl opened her sleepy eyes.
