[Zhang Juan (cheeks slightly pink): How's it going? Is the progress okay?]
[Lin Qianxuan (nodding): Very high, half of it lit up at once!]
Lin Qianxuan realized he was wrong, very wrong.
He always thought Zhang Juan, having been apart from him for so long, would be difficult to win over in this unusual situation.
But he never considered, would Zhang Juan take the initiative to win him over?
Is it because of childhood and teenage friendship?
Or perhaps she decided to stand by him to face the future together?
Or just simply wanting to love fiercely, without regrets, before she dies.
So as long as he proposed, Zhang Juan's strategy turned out not to be as difficult as imagined.
[Zhang Juan (eyes piercing): Want to take it a step further?]
Zhang Juan's meaning was simple, and Lin Qianxuan understood.
At this moment, in front of the screen, Lin Qianxuan hesitated slightly.
Is this self-serving strategy really okay?
Can it really succeed?
[Lin Qianxuan (looking back at Zhang Juan): Okay.]
Jokingly, if he weren't self-serving, he wouldn't have tried the deviant strategy initially.
Now with the woman taking the initiative, he wouldn't refuse.
As long as he can succeed in clearing the stage, he will try any possibility.
The scene shifted.
The game character and Zhang Juan had changed locations.
Returned home.
On the living room sofa, Zhang Juan handed a hair tie to the game character.
[Zhang Juan (looking at you): Help me tie up my hair.]
(Following the instruction.)
Just like the young Lin Qianxuan clumsily tied up Zhang Juan's hair back then, the in-game him tied up the now grown-up Zhang Juan's hair into a high ponytail.
At this moment, she seemed a little different, but Lin Qianxuan couldn't express what was different.
[Zhang Juan (taking a mirror, smiling at herself in it): Just like before...]
[You tied Zhang Juan's hair, Zhang Juan remembered the past with you, feeling a bit happy.]
[Zhang Juan's current String of Destiny connection rate: 58%]
In the picture, Zhang Juan put down the mirror and then directly acted on the game character.
[Zhang Juan (suddenly pushes you onto the sofa): Xiao Xuan, you did a great job on my hair, sister wants to reward you!]
In front of the screen, Lin Qianxuan looked at this scene somewhat speechlessly.
Why does this feel strange?
Shouldn't he be on top?
[Lin Qianxuan (amused): Juan, can we talk in the room?]
[Zhang Juan (eyes mischievous): Why? You don't like the living room? This sofa is brought from Earth, I thought it would give you some feeling of home!]
Lin Qianxuan was stumped by Zhang Juan's words; how did he not know Zhang Juan had such interests?
[Lin Qianxuan (raising an eyebrow): You're a bit of a pervert!]
[Zhang Juan (biting your ear, whispering): Don't you like it?]
[Lin Qianxuan (smiling): I prefer fluffy tails, pointy ears, things like horns.....]
Upon hearing this, Zhang Juan froze.
[Zhang Juan (disgusted): You have heavy tastes!!]
Though she said this, in the picture Lin Qianxuan saw, Zhang Juan's ears became a little pointed, a fluffy white tail appeared behind her, and there was a pair of small cute horns on her forehead.
[Lin Qianxuan (curious): Is all of this real?]
[Zhang Juan (smiling, placing your hand on her horns): You'll know if you touch them yourself.]
Lin Qianxuan blinked, feeling itchy inside.
Unfortunately, he couldn't touch or feel them himself.
Thinking it through, he felt he didn't need to guide anymore next, so he typed instructions for a general directive on the keyboard.
(Adaptive response.)
After the input, the game character began to act autonomously.
Lin Qianxuan watched as the two embraced, feeling little excessive imagination.
He only wondered, if this strategy was so easy, just how tough would the main storyline be afterward?
[Zhang Juan decided to accept this emotion, and stopped reserving, fully cooperating with your courtship, and performed the marital rites with you.]
[Zhang Juan's current String of Destiny connection rate: 75%]
[Hint: You have obtained a Sound Talisman [Evolution].]
[Evolution: The choice of nature brings new power. (Option to select Evolution Superpower +1.)]
.....
The sound of raindrops echoed.
The game image had changed.
Zhang Juan was rapidly fleeing, for reasons unknown.
Soon, she was blocked by four adult men.
Even though the underage her was relatively tall, she absolutely couldn't fight against adult men, not to mention they teamed up and had superpowers.
Of course, it's only the most basic superpowers, but it's entirely sufficient to combat Zhang Juan.
With just a kick across several meters of air, she was knocked down, paralyzed and unable to move.
A man who looked like the leader stepped out and stood in front of Zhang Juan.
"Business at our brothel has dropped so much lately, and I was wondering why. Turns out it was a little girl like you snatching business behind our backs. You've got quite the nerve!"
Zhang Juan had no reaction, only glared at him with eyes full of resentment.
The man kicked Zhang Juan several times, making her groan in pain and vomit out filth.
"Take her to the Gold Transformation Pool, and dissolve her in front of those despicable wretches. Let the people here remember that it's us, the Feixing Gang, who are the true masters!!"
The scene shifts to Zhang Juan being taken to a bubbling, pitch-black pool, firmly bound, her body covered in wounds, blood staining her skin.
Surrounding them were some low-level onlookers, none dared to rush forward.
"Take a good look, this is the fate of those who oppose the Feixing Gang!"
The leader waved his hand from afar, and an invisible force cut the ropes binding Zhang Juan, causing her to fall into that pitch-black pool.
The pool seemed to be some high-strength acid, even able to easily dissolve ordinary metal.
At that moment, Zhang Juan's skin and flesh were burning, dissolving quickly.
The expressions of the onlookers were terrified and pitiful.
The scene shifts to within the pitch-black acid pool.
A percentage symbol flashed rapidly.
"100%".
Zhang Juan's damaged eyelids suddenly opened.
The acid no longer corroded her body, but instead, began to be absorbed by her.
"Swish~!"
Several streams of acid shot out, directly at those claiming to be from the Feixing Gang.
The acid flew with extreme speed, and they couldn't successfully dodge it. Even the one who seemed like the leader was splattered, showing a face of agony as the acid ate through his skin, revealing the bone beneath.
It wasn't long before these people were all dead on the spot.
Elsewhere, Zhang Juan crawled out of the acid pool with difficulty. Her entire body was now covered with horrific scars, some so deep that bones could be seen, nearly unrecognizable as a person.
She struggled, staggering forward two steps, frightening the onlookers to retreat repeatedly.
At this moment, a new percentage symbol appeared.
"0.1%".
She was beginning to adapt anew.
What doesn't kill her will only make her stronger!!!
...
"Tip: Zhang Juan's information has been updated, and can be queried through the String of Destiny."
Lin Qianxuan opened Zhang Juan's personal information. Among them was a new memory, titled [Bandit].
Click to view.
Memory scene appears.
....
Wanted holograms were hung in the alleys of the streets.
On them was a person wrapped entirely in heavy clothing, with a face vaguely showing terrifying scars as if severely burned.
Suddenly, this person appeared in the frame.
And she was dragging two heads in her hands along the way.
Though her figure did not look particularly tall, the strength she displayed was quite terrifying, leaving the two in her grasp almost unable to struggle.
After dragging for a distance, she saw her own wanted projection, and a grim smile appeared on her face.
Immediately, some acid oozed from her hand, quickly corroding the heads of the two, and she carelessly tossed them into a garbage heap.
.....
The scene returned to Zhang Juan's bedroom, where the two lay on the bed looking at each other, with an atmosphere that seemed somewhat subtle.
In front of the screen, Lin Qianxuan, having seen Zhang Juan's memories, somewhat understood her hardships and change in temperament.
Her history was almost entirely composed of suffering.
It was hard to imagine how she survived all those years.
"[Zhang Juan (looking at you): I actually didn't believe you.]"
"[Lin Qianxuan (confused): What?]"
"[Zhang Juan (smiling): I didn't believe your story, saying you could gain my talent by being in love with me.]"
"[Lin Qianxuan (confused): Then why still.....]"
"[Zhang Juan (smiling while hugging you): I've never been in love, so I wanted to try, even if you were deceiving me, it wouldn't matter!]"
"[Lin Qianxuan (seriously): But I was telling the truth.]"
"[Zhang Juan (curiously): So how much of my talent are you sharing now?]"
"[Lin Qianxuan: 75%.]"
Although it was supposedly seventy-five percent, with the Sound Talisman bonus, Lin Qianxuan felt that there was not much difference from one hundred percent.
However, compared to the full strategy for obtaining the Sound of Destiny effect, it was certainly far off.
The Sound of Destiny generally had a tenfold effect boost, almost allowing him to directly achieve a qualitative upgrade from the talents acquired from these game heroines.
"[Zhang Juan (looking at you): My talent allows fast enhancement of power, but remember to control the direction of your superpower's evolution. Try not to choose too many evolution paths, but instead select one or two directions to evolve, or there might be a high possibility of superpower conflict. Initially, these conflicts can be solved by evolving new superpowers, but they don't disappear, only temporarily neutralized by other superpowers. Accumulating too many conflicts can lead to an outbreak that can't be easily controlled, just like me. I can no longer actively control my evolution, and even sustaining a human form for long is a burden...]"
"[Lin Qianxuan (nodding): I will remember that.]"
"[Zhang Juan (hugging you, feeling the warmth of your chest): I'm starting to not want to die, from tomorrow, I'll really help you improve your power.]"
"[Lin Qianxuan (confused): What about today then?]"
"[Zhang Juan (staring at you, seriously): I can maintain this form for another eight hours or so. Let me see what skills you have to manage three affairs!!]"
