Mercer bent down slightly, his fingers touching the dust on the Moon's surface. Looking around, he could see solar power generators set up on the Moon and some people in spacesuits busy building something in the distance.
This chip nearly truthfully represented a part of the Moon.
But the reason it's said to be nearly truthful is that it lacks the lunar entertainment facility named Crystal Palace, and no orbital weapons arranged around the Moon.
There are only some dull NPCs, repeating their work to provide a sense of realism.
"... So beautiful."
Lucy subconsciously murmured.
The distant Earth was so clear, and the scorching sunlight was adjusted by Mewtwo to a warmth bearable for humans.
She bowed her head and timidly jumped, and she found herself indeed jumping very high, leaping lightly up and landing softly under the influence of gravity.
Soon, Lucy mastered the trick, skipping merrily and freely—or rather, jumping repeatedly, experiencing the magical sensation brought by the Moon's gravity.
"Mercer!"
She laughed, waving at Mercer who was still standing in place, not knowing what he was looking at: "Come on~ I want to see over there!"
Mercer also smiled, taking steps to bounce lightly on the Moon's surface like Lucy, listening to Lucy's excited small shouts, watching her freely running and jumping on the Moon, feeling a strange sense of satisfaction in his heart.
"Mercer~" She laughed, reaching out her hand in front of Mercer. Mercer reached out his hand, but she jumped back: "Come chase me!"
Ha...
Mercer thought this scene was overly youthful, but seeing Lucy's enthusiastic look, he could only accompany her in the play, as she was entirely letting herself go in the Mewtwo simulation.
The two of them playfully ran a long way, and she even picked up some special beverages and snacks from a construction site they passed.
Lucy took a sip of a drink herself—she could really taste it.
Something like zero-gravity soda... It just tasted like tangy sparkling water.
She also found two lunar off-road vehicles and raced with Mercer, driving across the Moon's surface at high speed until she had enough fun. Then, she sat contentedly with Mercer on a flat spot on the Moon, quietly admiring the distant view of Earth.
"Did you have fun?" Mercer lay on the ground lazily.
He felt full of energy when working, but as for leisure and entertainment... he just wanted to lie down.
Even though his hormones felt younger, he still found lying down most comfortable.
"Mm... Extremely happy!" Lucy's smile never faded from her face.
"That's good, seems like I didn't buy the wrong thing." Mercer also smiled, then saw Lucy leaning in.
She flipped over, propping her body above Mercer with her hands by his ears, looking down at him, locking eyes with him. Her iridescent pupils gazed at him, without saying a word.
"What are you doing..." Mercer shrunk his neck a bit awkwardly.
But Lucy chuckled: "What are you afraid of?"
Her hair fell beside her face, and on her somewhat young face, the smile was one Mercer had never seen before, bright and dazzling.
"I'm just awkward... Why so close?" Mercer stared at her speechlessly.
Lucy hooked a smile, looked at him for a while, then suddenly laughed and lowered her head, reaching out and hugging him, burying her head in his neck.
The damn Mewtwo simulation was unexpectedly real, simulating even her breathing and body temperature exactly like reality.
Apart from not catching her faint and unique scent, it was no different from the real thing.
Mercer suddenly felt his heartbeat quicken—what's going on...
He was a bit at a loss for what to do, while Lucy suddenly started trembling, letting out unfettered soft laughter.
"What are you laughing at!"
Mercer was flustered.
"Mercer..."
She softly spoke, without raising her head, just holding him tightly, whispering: "Today I'm really happy, really, really happy..."
If you put it that way, a guy can't really rain on your parade.
Mercer calmed down his emotions, hesitatingly, ultimately reached out and gently hugged her back.
The Moon's gravity made her weight feel so light.
Lucy, somewhere Mercer couldn't see, had her smile even more radiant, then spoke in a featherlight tone in his ear: "Thank you..."
With those words, she suddenly turned her head and gave Mercer a gentle kiss on the cheek: "So, that's your thank you gift."
Before Mercer could react, Lucy released him and sat up, giving him a...
Mercer could only describe her expression as a 'mischievous smile.'
And then she logged out directly.
After Mercer belatedly logged out, he found Lucy looking at him with a look of amusement.
"What are you laughing at again?"
As Mercer finished speaking, he saw Lucy leisurely removing her headset, stretching lazily, and humming an unknown tune as she tossed the blanket from the mattress edge onto his tummy.
"I understand~ It's because your body is too young... right? After all, you don't like girls under eighteen."
Having said that, Lucy hooked her mouth, gracefully getting up and walking out, but her randomly flushed, but fair face clearly showed that she wasn't as composed as she tried to appear.
Mercer pouted, just touching his face... Seeing him like this, Lucy couldn't help but quicken her steps, disappearing around the edge of the tent.
So the question arises.
