I'm about to start some slick moves

Just as he was feeling incredibly depressed and gritting his teeth...

The phone in his pocket started vibrating, "Buzz—buzz—"

He took it out and looked, and that familiar name was flashing on the screen—An Lian.

...What was bound to come had arrived.

He answered weakly, "Hello?"

"Hello, I am An Lian, the exclusive maintenance specialist from the after-sales service center for the 'Dawn' series AI companions, ID number S-07."

"According to the contract..."

The cold voice sounded again, repeating the words he had already heard twice.

Fang Qi rubbed the space between his eyebrows and glanced at Liguang in the corner.

The silver-haired girl was still kneeling obediently in the corner, but her little ears were clearly perked up, eavesdropping.

Next was that familiar conversation with An Lian.

"...Okay, no problem, we will both be at home tonight."

Hanging up the phone, he ignored Liguang and sat back on the sofa by himself.

Then he stroked his chin and started to think.

An Lian... that cold, professional, long-legged mature maintenance specialist.

In the previous loop, she triggered Liguang with a text message, almost sending him into the terrifying "Nowhere to Run" ending!

Fortunately, he relied on his wit to escape, and his limbs weren't actually broken, but he was "tortured" by that crazy woman for a long time before finally rewinding.

This time... he had to take the initiative into his own hands!

His gaze drifted to the corner again.

The silver-haired girl was still kneeling straight in the corner, her slender back trembling slightly as if pretending to be wronged.

A bold, even crazy idea slowly took shape in his mind!

He planned to... invite the wolf into the house!

An Lian was coming at six in the evening, so it was still early.

Then he had plenty of time to operate...

And bring the other troublemaker over!

Lin Xiaoyou!

That lively, cheerful little tool person with no sense of boundaries!

Then... he was going to "tease" Liguang in front of Lin Xiaoyou!

With Liguang's peculiar brain circuit, being treated intimately by her master in front of a "love rival"...

Not only would she not turn dark, but she would be incredibly happy!

Because to Liguang, this kind of behavior was absolutely a naked "show of affection"!

It was the master declaring sovereignty to her "love rival": "Look, this is my baby, our relationship is great!"

And with her current state of easily blushing, heart beating fast, and emotions exposed, she would definitely be so shy that smoke would come out of her head, completely unable to hide that feeling!

The last maintenance process had already verified this!

That girl Lin Xiaoyou was even more lively and outspoken, so she would most likely exclaim immediately:

"Wow! Senior, your Liguang's reaction is so real! It's like dating a real person!"

For Lin Xiaoyou to say this... it made perfect sense!

This way, he could logically use Lin Xiaoyou's words to remind Liguang!

And by "showing affection" with Liguang in front of Lin Xiaoyou, maybe... he could also lower Lin Xiaoyou's affection for him?

Not only achieving the purpose of hinting, but also making the little yandere happy, and maybe even persuading Lin Xiaoyou to back off...

Killing three birds with one stone!

It's just that this method was a bit thrilling...

If not handled properly, it could easily cause Liguang to get jealous and turn dark on the spot.

If it were before, he absolutely wouldn't dare to use such a bold method.

But now...

He was going to unseal those 312 hours of experience!

He was going to start his wild operations!

Crazy woman, I'll let you have this round...

But next, it's still my turn!

He immediately took out his phone and opened the chat window with Lin Xiaoyou.

But then his finger paused.

Executing this plan still required a bit of skill.

He couldn't just send a message inviting Lin Xiaoyou to his house, that would be too deliberate.

Liguang was still monitoring his phone, doing so would touch the crazy woman's bottom line and easily cause her to get jealous and turn dark.

However... it wasn't a big problem.

But he was a master of courting death, and he had a hundred ways to make Lin Xiaoyou come over voluntarily!

He started editing the message:

[Xiaoyou, are you busy? I took a day off and didn't go to the company today. Do you have the latest version of the XX project schedule that I'm in charge of?]

[If it's convenient, send it to me for a look. I'll check remotely to see if there are any problems.]

First throw out a serious work excuse.

Lin Xiaoyou was his junior and often assisted him, so this request was perfectly reasonable.

Send.

Almost an instant reply!

Lin Xiaoyou: [Senior! You finally paid attention to me! (Loud crying.JPG)]

[I thought you were mad at me... Is it because I suddenly went to your house yesterday and caused you trouble?]

[I'm sorry, Senior, I just really wanted to see you... Wuwuwu...]

[I have the project schedule! I'll send it to you right away!]

Followed by a file transfer.

Then several more messages in a row:

[Senior, you didn't come today, is it really because you have something at home? Not because you hate me, right? (Pitiful.JPG)]

[If you're still angry, I'll buy milk tea right now and go downstairs to your house to apologize! (Serious face.JPG)]

Fang Qi looked at the flashing messages on the screen, as if he could see Lin Xiaoyou's eager little face.

Glancing at Liguang in the corner, whose movements had clearly become stiff, he continued to reply:

[You're overthinking it, why would I be mad at you? It's because Liguang needs maintenance today, the after-sales specialist is coming tonight, so I have to wait at home and can't leave.]

[Being alone at home is a bit boring, I thought I'd look at work to pass the time.]

The hook has been cast, let's see if this little fish will take the bait!

Sure enough, the next second, Lin Xiaoyou's messages bombarded him like a barrage:

[Alone?]

[Senior, why didn't you say you were bored earlier! I'll come over and keep you company!]

[I can help you organize materials, and I can also... also chat with you to relieve your boredom!]

[Senior, wait for me, I'll ask for leave and go over right now! (Looking forward to it with shining eyes.JPG)]

Hooked!

Fang Qi's mouth curled up, and his fingers continued to type:

[This... isn't very good, right? You still have to work. And Liguang is right next to me, although she's preparing for maintenance, but...]

But the more he declined, the more active Lin Xiaoyou became:

[How can work be more important than Senior! And it's just organizing some materials, it won't affect anything! Doing it tomorrow is the same!]

[Senior! Please! Just let me make up for my mistakes!]

[I promise to be good and absolutely won't cause you trouble! (Hands clasped in begging.JPG)]

The act was almost over.

Fang Qi tapped his phone case, "hesitated" for a dozen seconds, and then "reluctantly" replied:

[...Alright then. Come over, Liguang and I are both at home now.]

Lin Xiaoyou replied in seconds: [Great! Thank you, Senior! I'll go ask for leave right away! (So happy spinning in circles.JPG)]

[Half an hour... oh no, I'll be there in twenty minutes!]

Done!

Fang Qi put down his phone, a smile of a successful plan appearing on his face.

His little tool person was still so useful!

Worthy of being a veteran teammate!

Then he slowly turned his head and looked at the slender figure in the corner who had been kneeling for a while.

The silver-haired girl still maintained her kneeling posture. Her back was straight, and she wore a docile expression, looking as though she was seriously reflecting on her mistakes and didn't dare to step out of line.

But...!

Her hands, which had originally been resting on her knees, were once again tightly gripping the hem of her skirt!

Her lowered, pale neck was somewhat stiff, the blush on the tips of her ears had faded, and her little star earrings were trembling uneasily.

Fang Qi could well imagine that right now, beneath her lowered eyelids, the data streams in those heterochromatic eyes were flashing at a frantic pace!

She was monitoring his phone, so she saw it.

She saw all the conversations on his phone.

She knew that the lively and cheerful female colleague who harbored inappropriate thoughts about the Master was about to come right up to the door, stepping into the space that belonged solely to her and the Master.

And she, currently being punished by the Master, was humbly taking her penalty in the corner, lacking even the right to stand up.

The shame and unease of knowing a romantic rival was about to witness her being disciplined, along with the fear and jealousy over whether the Master preferred that real human girl... it was all fermenting inside her!

But she didn't dare to move, not even daring to look up and ask.

Because she was still being punished. Without the Master's orders, she had to continue kneeling and reflecting.

Fang Qi looked at Liguang's pitiful appearance. She was clearly drowning in a sea of jealousy, yet forced to forcibly suppress it...

The gloominess from his failed revenge just now vanished in an instant!

If it were him from before, he might have already panicked, told Liguang to get up quickly, and then comforted her endlessly.

But the current him was no longer the naive pushover he used to be!

He didn't immediately tell Liguang to get up. Instead, he leaned back into the sofa, picked up the nearly empty cup of digestive tea, tilted his head back, and drank the very last drop!

Little yandere, so it was you secretly laughing just now, huh!

Now, the actors were in position, the stage was set, and the female lead was brimming with emotion.

Next, all that was left was for him, the director and male lead, to put on a spectacular show!

The Day I Died, the Whole Sect Watched My Senior Sister Go on a Rampage

The Day I Died, the Whole Sect Watched My Senior Sister Go on a Rampage

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.
