Chapter 4
The Loser and the Lady Boss
If he could rely on this attribute boost, it would undoubtedly be Liu Yuan’s biggest life-saving trump card.
Liu Yuan was truly naked. He could not even see his own attribute panel. He was completely at a loss, not to mention cultivating. F*ck, how would a modern otaku like him know how to cultivate?
If it was just a matter of staying up late, then he was quite familiar with it.
However, he was a true Immortal cultivator now.
“Sigh, no matter what... I’ll just give it a try.”
Liu Yuan’s gaze fell on the ‘yes/no’ options and he silently said ‘yes’ in his heart. Suddenly, many golden light spots appeared on the entire card, forming a virtual image of an illustrated card. It quickly flew into his body and disappeared.
He looked at his arms, thighs, and chest in confusion, but could not find anything.
“So... Am I carrying the card now? What about the attributes?”
The corner of Liu Yuan’s mouth twitched. He had a subtle feeling that he might have bought a golden finger from a scammy e-commerce website.
Moreover, both of them were +5. If it was 0 at the beginning, wouldn’t he be a true-blue weakling?
“Forget it, it’s late at night now. I should go back to my room first, in case I get raped and die as soon as I transmigrated...”
Liu Yuan stared at the cute girl who was sleeping peacefully. He gritted his teeth and reached out to help her take off her clothes.
Gu Siyin was only left with a pomegranate-red, embroidered blouse and a pair of white underwear. Her fair and flawless skin was dazzling. The young girl’s naked body was full of youthful vitality and temptation. She had everything that she should have, and she was very beautiful.
Although the degree of exposure was only equivalent to a spaghetti-strap top and hot pants, Liu Yuan still quickly wrapped the girl up with the blanket and turned her into a big dumpling.
Liu Yuan wiped his sweat and heaved a sigh of relief. He sat on the bed and took a rest.
He looked at his palm and clenched it into a fist, mumbling, “It’s indeed different. I feel stronger than before. Otherwise, how would I be bale to carry a girl when I used to struggle even walking up the stairs?”
Moreover, he was sweating because he was too nervous.
Gu Siyin’s sleeping position was not very good. Liu Yuan moved her to a different position and picked her up like he was picking up a princess.
“Oh, Liu Yuan, you’ve got extraordinary mental strength and willpower,” Liu Yuan muttered to himself.
Liu Yuan smiled embarrassedly and gently opened the window to look out.
It was already late at night, and there was no one around except for the faint chirping of insects. However, he could still see some orange lanterns outside the wall in the distance, which were the patrol teams in the villa.
There were also stars in the sky, which were as fine as dust. It was obvious that the sky was not polluted by mist in modern society. It was natural, unpolluted, and nourished by spiritual energy.
Liu Yuan’s gaze fell on the garden path hidden by the woods at the side. He turned over and jumped out.
The bonus attributes were still useful. He could climb over the window without any effort and land steadily.
In addition, the movement attribute seemed to give him increased dexterity, allowing Liu Yuan to subconsciously adjust the appropriate posture and angle, gaining positional leverage.
Liu Yuan even felt that he could try out some parkour moves.
This +5 attribute bonus was really quite strong...
Liu Yuan was secretly pleased as he walked along the wall and the forest. His movement attribute was really impressive. He did not make any sound when he walked... Alright, maybe it was because he was not wearing shoes.
After recalling the map of the novice village in his mind, Liu Yuan prepared to sneak to the player’s birthplace, a very ordinary guest room.
Liu Yuan heaved a sigh of relief when he saw no one blocking his way. He looked at the familiar guest room in front of him and prepared to sneak in.
“If I remember correctly, it should be at -”
“Liu Yuan? What are you doing here in the middle of the night?” A very melodious female voice sounded.
“?!”
Liu Yuan was so scared that he sucked in a deep breath and almost choked on the air. He suddenly looked up and saw two beautiful, overlapping legs in his field of vision.
“Where are you looking at!” The voice was embarrassed and angry, and her pair of jade-like hands quickly covered her skirt.
Liu Yuan looked up and saw the owner of the voice. It was a beautiful woman with black hair and black eyes. She wore a silver ring on her forehead with three sapphires hanging from it. She also had three pairs of silver rings on her wrists. Her black dress wrapped tightly from her neck to her ankles, and her slightly wide waist was wrapped from her chest to her lower abdomen, outlining her slender willow-like waist.
In fact, it was already wrapped so tightly. Under normal circumstances, there would definitely be nothing to see. However, Liu Yuan was looking up from the bottom...
The woman had obviously forgotten about this as well. Her face was flushed red as she sat on the roof, holding her skirt. She bit her lip and looked at Liu Yuan.
Liu Yuan took a step back. What the hell... Did she ask me to tell her where I’m looking at?
What a joke, he would be beaten to death!
But could he be blamed for this? Why did she have to sit on the roof for no reason? Wasn’t it normal to be exposed from that position? Why did she look like she was about to cry?
Liu Yuan, who did not use vulgarities, raised his head and looked at the top of the other party’s head.
The progress bar was black. It was far from full.
This meant that the method of collecting cards was through combat. The favorability progress bar was ‘Growing old together’, so she was not part of his conquering strategy guide. If it was maxed out, it would appear in the normal guide, which was full of black and gold cards.
At the same time, Liu Yuan also recognized the other party’s identity as the 3-star character ‘Chiyu guest elder, green tree born in cool autumn, Fu Huan’.
This was the guest elder of Chiyu villa, a martial arts master who could match a Foundation Establishment expert. Although she was a 3-star, her appearance could not be compared to Gu Siyin, who was so stunning at a young age. Her martial arts skills were also enhanced a lot.
Another bonus point was that this NPC was the ‘Newbie Guide’ in Shangyang.
In the story, Fu Huan was the one who had picked up the heavily injured ‘player’ from the deep mountains. For the players, the initial novice missions or quests were all issued by her, so she was equivalent to a lady boss.
However, looking at the lady boss... He often saw her, so he did not really want to start her conquering quest line.
Hence, why Liu Yuan did not try to conquer her, and he engaged in battle with her just because he was bored... Teasing the lady boss was quite interesting. Every time he attacked, he would run away and then stop just to listen to her complaining and panting.
Liu Yuan silently noted a piece of information to himself: Although it was not added to the guide, he could see the favorability of other characters. He was not sure if he could see everyone, or if he could only see the characters he had interacted with before.
Fu Huan was a little annoyed. She gritted her teeth, and her chest heaved up and down. She looked down at the young man who was still staring at her, and her legs tightened. It felt like he was not staring at her face, but at her legs.
Shameless! Rascal!
However, there was nothing she could do...
On one hand, it was because she was not on guard against Liu Yuan. On the other hand, she did not expect Liu Yuan to raise his head so quickly.
In her impression, although this guy was in a sorry state, he was extremely mysterious and his abilities in martial arts were also outrageously high... Every time she competed with him, she would end up in failure, and he would often go easy on her. He always looked so lazy, like he did not really want to fight with her.
She had once thought that this young man was just an ordinary person who had mistakenly entered the deep mountains and got injured. She had guided him in his cultivation and many things about life in Chiyu Villa... However, Liu Yuan was actually much stronger than her. From the initial shock to admiration, she now regarded him as a confidant and even a senior in martial arts.
But this guy... this guy... he was staring at me just now!
Fu Huan’s face was burning red. She jumped down from the roof and deliberately said with a cold face, “I’m asking you, why did you go out in the middle of the night?”
Liu Yuan felt that this sentence was very familiar.
The lady boss was a tsundere, which was a well-known fact among the players.
If she said something like ‘why are you sneaking out?’, it meant that she was worried about your safety. What followed after that would usually be ‘I’m not worried about your safety. I’m just doing my duty as a guest elder of the villa.’
Liu Yuan relaxed and coughed twice. What replaced it was a desire to tease her. He walked forward and said, “Then what are you doing here in the middle of the night?”
Fu Huan crossed his arms and snorted. “I’m not worried about your safety. It’s just that many things have happened in the villa recently. I’m just waiting here to prevent any rascals from taking the opportunity to cause trouble.”
She glared at Liu Yuan, who had a strange expression on his face, and added, ” “This is just the duty of a guest elder of the mountain villa.”
Liu Yuan spread his hands and sigh. He knew it.
