Liu Yuan took the card back from Su Qi.
Due to the limited conditions inside the tent and their noticeable height difference, finding a comfortable position—or rather, a comfortable posture for inspection—proved troublesome.
During this process, Su Qi had already maneuvered Liu Yuan into several odd poses.
Finally, under Liu Yuan’s resentful gaze—her face now as red as a boiling kettle—Su Qi settled on a solution.
She sat on the hammock, her legs dangling in the air, swaying slightly with the hammock’s motion.
As for Su Qi,
He didn’t care whether the ground was clean or not and simply sat down on it.
Su Qi grabbed the equipment card that had been swaying in the air, making his eyes dizzy.
If the card had carried residual warmth before, now it radiated genuine heat.
His heart couldn’t help but flutter.
Shaking his head, Su Qi forced himself to focus on the card.
He examined it carefully, his fingers lightly tracing its surface as he channeled his spiritual energy to probe for flaws in the card’s circuitry.
Unnatural damage like this usually stemmed from a malfunction in the card’s energy pathways.
However, as Su Qi had mentioned earlier, this card was crafted with remarkable precision.
For a moment, he couldn’t pinpoint the issue.
This shouldn’t be happening…
Was his skill really this lacking?
Well, his card-making skill, that is.
Time passed minute by minute as Su Qi continued tracing the card’s circuits, beads of sweat forming on his forehead.
“Brother… it tickles a little.”
“I know, bear with it. It’ll be done soon.”
Su Qi’s eyes were filled with intense focus at this moment.
It was clear he genuinely wanted to prove his skill.
His card-making skill.
Liu Yuan rested her chin on her hands, propped on her thighs, feeling the warmth of his breath as she watched Su Qi’s serious expression.
Ah…
Su Qi looked incredibly handsome when he was this focused.
Why had she held so many biases against him before?
She felt terribly guilty toward him now.
She had to make it up to him properly.
Finally, Su Qi located the flaw in the card’s circuitry.
It was a tiny twist in one of the pathways—something he would’ve missed if he hadn’t been practically glued to the card.
“Don’t move. This is the last step, and it’s crucial.”
He glanced up at Liu Yuan and noticed her face was still flushed, her eyes tinged with shyness.
“It’s fine, Brother. Go ahead and fix it.”
Su Qi took a deep breath and gently touched the front of the equipment.
Holding it in his hands, he could feel the delicate texture of the card and the faint tremble of its energy.
In the end, it was just a fourth-tier card, so it didn’t stump Su Qi for long.
Still, he found the nature of the flaw strange.
In about ten minutes, the card’s circuits would spiral out of control, causing the equipment to self-destruct.
And the way to prevent this destruction was…
To modify the card’s judgment date?
By skipping the check ten minutes later, the failure condition was bypassed, and the card stabilized?
It sounded absurd.
But card circuitry was often unpredictable.
As mentioned earlier, card-makers sometimes didn’t even understand how they’d created their own cards.
Not understanding why a repair worked was just part of the norm.
There were even a few popular sayings among card-makers:
“Does it work or not?”
“Is it fixed or not?”
“Did you make it or not?”
Using his spiritual energy as a guide, Su Qi forcibly twisted the two misaligned circuits back into place, effectively advancing the card’s judgment date by two days.
With that done, he finally let out a relieved sigh and turned to Liu Yuan. “All done. Check if the attributes are working properly.”
Liu Yuan immediately inspected the card’s data.
[Daily Adventure (Three-in-One Special Edition): Perform three consecutive acts of ‘going back on your word’ toward Su Qi, making him experience the same frustration and helping him rebuild his credibility. (2/3)]
[Remove the band-aid from his face and mock him.]
[Complete the third act of going back on your word immediately. (Expired)]
[Daily Adventure has refreshed.]
[Select target: Su Qi / Random]
“I choose Brother.”
[Daily Adventure: Even though the challenge has refreshed, the mission to educate Su Qi remains unchanged.]
[Attack Su Qi immediately!]
[Otherwise, the equipment will break down. No loopholes—attempting to repair it again will cause it to explode!]
Liu Yuan: ???
Aren’t you a card made by Su Qi?
Why do you have such a grudge against him?
Even though Brother worked so hard to fix you…
Why is it like this?
Attacking Su Qi was something she could never bring herself to do.
But if she didn’t, wouldn’t his efforts go to waste?
Liu Yuan fell into a brief dilemma.
Then—
A strange glint flashed in her eyes.
She looked at Su Qi excitedly. “The attributes are back to normal! Brother, you’re a genius!”
How would one describe someone who’s extremely happy?
Some might say “overjoyed.”
Others might say “ecstatic.”
But Liu Yuan believed the right term was “dancing with delight.”
In that instant, Su Qi’s vision blurred as something rushed toward him.
Normally, he’d see darkness—so why was everything white this time?
Under normal circumstances, Su Qi’s reflexes would’ve allowed him to dodge such a feeble attack effortlessly.
But right now,
Su Qi was in a very, very unusual state.
For one, he had just finished a battle, leaving his spiritual energy nearly depleted. The last remnants had been drained by Liu Yuan’s equipment card.
For another, he had just emerged from a state of intense concentration and was in that vulnerable moment of relaxation.
And then, he had no guard up against Liu Yuan.
Even if this brat was annoying, Su Qi never thought she’d harm him.
Lastly, he was still under the lingering effects of a card’s debuff—the final nail in the coffin.
So, with all these coincidences aligning, Su Qi actually got hit by Liu Yuan.
The attack was light, but it was enough to throw him off balance.
A drowning person instinctively grabs at anything within reach.
Likewise, someone losing their balance instinctively clutches at whatever’s nearby to steady themselves.
So, Su Qi grabbed Liu Yuan’s foot—
The very culprit that had smacked his face and caused his imbalance.
The problem was, Liu Yuan hadn’t expected her light tap to destabilize him. Otherwise, she’d never have done something that might hurt him.
Caught off guard, she was yanked off the hammock by Su Qi’s grip.
Thud.
The two of them tumbled to the ground together.
[+666 Joy]
[Attack Su Qi immediately! (Completed)]
[Reward… delivered?]
Liu Yuan didn’t feel like she’d received any reward, nor did she care about what “delivered” even meant at the moment.
“Brother, are you okay?”
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry… I didn’t mean for this to happen.”
Was Su Qi angry?
It was hard to say.
If a two-hundred-pound person had landed on him, he might’ve thrown them out of the tent in 0.1 seconds flat.
But what if it was a petite, golden-haired girl weighing around 80 pounds sitting on his chest in a "seiza" pose?
Well, he might as well consider it payment for repairs.
After all, he was skilled with his hands—it wouldn’t be fair to work for free, right?
The only thing Su Qi couldn’t quite figure out was: "Won’t your boyfriend get mad if he finds out?"
Liu Yuan flushed bright red again, dropping the "big brother" act entirely. "Su Qi! If you keep saying things like that, I’m seriously going to get angry!"
Su Qi felt another wave of satisfaction.
Ah, this was more like it. And she smelled nice too.
That brat kept calling him "big brother" this and "big brother" that—honestly, it had been throwing him off.

ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
