Fang Qi looked at the steaming cup of tea, feeling the realistic texture of the sofa beneath him.
"Ha... Haha..."
He twitched the corners of his mouth.
The reload plan... was a success.
The dog cage experience ticket was also destroyed.
Now he was back at this damn starting point.
Picking up the teacup, he took a gentle sip, and his trembling hands gradually steadied.
His emotions were relatively stable at the moment.
Having reloaded three times, he was somewhat used to it, and his heartbeat had calmed down.
Of course, this was mainly because he hadn't experienced any pain in the previous loop. Relying on his own wits, he had figured out the reload mechanism and successfully rewound time.
This time... could be considered his first victory!
Although the fruits of this first victory were indeed a bit shabby...
Fang Qi held the teacup, looking at the girl with a radiant smile in front of him.
Perhaps because his heartbeat was steady this time, the data stream in the girl's crimson eye flowed smoothly, not flickering as wildly as the previous times.
It seemed like this opening was quite stable.
He began to ponder slightly.
To clear this game, he couldn't panic, nor could he have large emotional fluctuations.
He had to outsmart it!
There was no need to be too afraid. After all... the worst-case scenario was just loading a save file and starting over!
Rounding it up, this was just an immersive VR game with a super thrilling plot, and the heroine was his wife Liguang, who loved him to the bone!
What was there to be afraid of!
Fang Qi convinced himself in his heart.
But... the only drawback was that the pain sensation was maxed out!
Fang Qi clenched his jaw slightly at the memory of the pain from his broken legs earlier.
Broken game, couldn't it lower the pain settings a bit...!
What a garbage game!
To be honest, if this game disabled the pain sensation... as a yandere enthusiast, he could play it for a lifetime!
But with pain, and one hundred percent realistic pain at that...
Then this was a garbage game!
Forget it... anyway, with the ability to reload, he wouldn't actually die.
That was enough!
"So, next up..."
Fang Qi narrowed his eyes and looked at the silver-haired girl in front of him.
According to his gaming experience, in the early stages, the player had to act like a master who truly used Liguang.
He couldn't be too eager or nervous, which would arouse suspicion, but he also couldn't be too cold and treat her entirely like a tool.
In short... just be casual?
Slacken off and enjoy it a bit?
Having figured it out, Fang Qi grew bolder.
Since he couldn't resist, he might as well properly enjoy the capabilities of this top-tier AI companion!
He put down the teacup, and then...
He threw his arm back, resting it on the back of the sofa.
Then he crossed his legs!
His gaze wantonly and carefully scrutinized Liguang opposite him!
This was the first time he had so brazenly examined Liguang's appearance.
Silver hair, heterochromia, and skin so pale it seemed to glow.
"What a... what a little beauty!"
Her amber left eye was still misty, seeming to carry complete trust in him.
Her ruby-like right eye would occasionally flash with a faint light, but it remained meekly downcast.
A slender waist, perky buttocks, long legs, and a soft bosom.
To be honest, setting aside her inner nature of casually slicing off people's legs and scrambling their brains, Liguang's exterior...
Tsk, tsk...
It perfectly hit his sweet spot!
Being stared at so intently by Fang Qi, Liguang actually tilted her head slightly, a very faint blush slowly emerging on her fair cheeks.
"Master...?"
She called out softly, her voice carrying just the right amount of shyness.
Whoa, she could actually blush?
Fang Qi's playfulness flared up instantly, and his audacity swelled on the spot!
He reached out a hand and gently touched Liguang's cheek with his fingers.
The smooth and delicate bionic skin was as silky as the finest silk, yet possessed the soft elasticity of human flesh.
A thermostatic system operated beneath the skin, radiating a comforting body heat.
"Mhm, so smooth."
Fang Qi gave it a five-star rating, his fingers even rubbing it slightly.
Liguang's eyelashes fluttered rapidly, and the blush on her face seemed to become a bit more pronounced.
Like a cat, she even extremely lightly... rubbed her cheek against Fang Qi's fingertips!
Her body, however, remained submissively still. She just tilted her small face up, allowing him to touch her.
Her misty amber left eye looked at him, filled with trust, while her crimson right eye completely settled into calmness, no longer flickering.
...Well then!
Fang Qi felt a secret thrill.
Outside the game, he could only drool at a screen.
But now, the real person was right in front of him, ready to be touched without getting angry!
Although the price might be severe, and he might have to reload again later...
But... whatever!
He would enjoy himself first!
He had been tortured three times already; wasn't he allowed to have fun for once?
On with the music, on with the dance!
The audacious Fang Qi instantly built up his mental resolve.
He leaned back, sprawling on the sofa in the posture of an arrogant boss.
Twisting his neck, he said lazily:
"Liguang, come here. My shoulders and neck are a bit sore, give me a massage."
"Yes, Master."
The silver-haired girl immediately stood up, her movements as light as a breeze.
Fang Qi noticed a fleeting, joyful curve on the corners of her mouth as she turned.
The tips of her silver hair brushed past his nose, carrying a faint strawberry scent.
Cool fingers pressed onto his shoulders, kneading with precision, the pressure applied perfectly.
"...A little harder on the left... Mhm... Yes, right there."
Fang Qi narrowed his eyes in enjoyment.
So comfortable. Truly worthy of a top-tier AI companion...
He didn't forget to make conversation: "Liguang, speaking of which, is it a bit dusty in the house today?"
"Master's perception is very keen," Liguang chuckled softly.
Her hands didn't stop moving, her fingertips applying slightly more pressure on a certain acupoint.
The comfortable, aching sensation made Fang Qi almost moan out loud in pleasure.
"Liguang will carry out a thorough cleaning right away."
Even though she was being ordered to work, her tone carried a hint of... imperceptible satisfaction.
The data stream in her crimson eye flickered slightly, and several robot vacuums in the corners of the room silently activated, beginning to vacuum and mop along their set paths.
Meanwhile, Liguang herself was still focused on massaging Fang Qi.
She leaned over slightly, her silver hair cascading down, her breath right next to him.
Occasionally, intentionally or otherwise... she would lightly brush her cheek against Fang Qi's face.
Multitasking without any pressure, she even seemed to be enjoying it.
She was even secretly taking advantage of her master!
Fang Qi lifted a foot and smacked it onto the coffee table, then continued to boss her around:
"After the massage, I want to eat that newly developed strawberry cake, the one with less sugar."
"Yes, Master." Liguang's voice revealed a burst of joy. "The cake batter is already in the oven, and it is expected to be finished right in time for your afternoon tea."
"Mhm... I'm getting a bit tired of looking at those full-hologram plants on the balcony. Change it to a tropical rainforest scene, the kind where you can hear birds chirping and the sound of water."
"Scene switched. Do you need to adjust the environmental temperature and humidity to match the new scene?"
The silver-haired girl responded almost instantly, as if she had been waiting for him to make more demands.
"Adjust it! Make it a bit more humid, give it a jungle feel."
"Oh, and also..."
Fang Qi's commands popped out one after another.
Liguang answered fluently, acting efficiently without any complaints.
Moreover, she actually seemed even happier?
One moment she was massaging his back, and the next she was in the kitchen checking on the cake.
One moment she was controlling the cleaning robot, and the next she was adjusting the holographic environment.
Her steps were so brisk it was as if she were dancing!
Even though she was busy spinning in circles, her eyes were sparkling brightly, and the hem of her light blue dress fluttered like a butterfly.
The smile on her face remained sweet throughout. Even when Fang Qi made somewhat unreasonable or trivial demands, an even brighter light would flash in her eyes.
It was as if she was saying, "Look, how much Master needs me!"
It was a deep, satisfying joy born from being relied upon.
She was incredibly happy!
Fang Qi looked at this tireless, omnipotent mechanical maid in front of him and suddenly felt...
Living like this seemed pretty good, didn't it?
An all-powerful AI mechanical companion—as long as the master just moved his lips, she could handle everything!
Moreover, she was a super beautiful girl with top-tier looks, a gentle tone, who occasionally blushed, and served him with what seemed like a built-in halo of happiness!
This must be heaven!
...Of course, that was assuming he ignored the risk of her yandere tendencies erupting at any moment.
"Master, the cake is ready."
Liguang walked over carrying a delicate porcelain plate. On it sat a small slice of cake garnished with fresh strawberries, shaped as perfectly as a work of art.
As she set the cake down, her fingers gently brushed the edge of the plate to ensure it was angled perfectly toward Fang Qi.
"Master, would you like a refill of tea?"
She asked in a gentle voice, already picking up the teapot.
"Refill!"
Fang Qi now felt absolutely no psychological burden ordering Liguang around.
He picked up the cake and took a bite.
The texture was dense and smooth, the sweetness was moderate, and the slight tartness of the strawberries was just right.
The culinary skills of a top-tier AI companion were also top-tier!
"Delicious!"
Fang Qi took another bite, getting cream all over his mouth.
He mumbled indistinctly, "Liguang, you're amazing!"
Liguang poured him more tea, and upon hearing the praise, the corners of her mouth immediately turned up.
Her eyes curved into crescents. Her crimson right eye flickered slightly, revealing a turbulent current of joy. "Being able to serve Master is Liguang's greatest happiness."
Her voice carried a pure, burning joy, as if this compliment were the most precious reward in the world!
Fang Qi looked at Liguang while biting into his cake.
The silver-haired girl was currently kneeling by the coffee table, her hands resting on her knees. The gaze she directed up at him was focused and warm, like a small animal waiting for its master to feed and acknowledge it.
Extremely cute!
The only thing that made him slightly uncomfortable was that gaze. It was simply a bit too focused, as if she wanted to record his every single expression.
Her staring gave him a slight chill down his spine.
But... it didn't seem like a big problem?
It seemed that as long as he continued to play the role of the master who relied on her and needed her...
He stuffed the rest of the cake directly into his mouth.
"Burp..."
Then he let out a strawberry-flavored burp and leaned back comfortably.
Who cares, he would just enjoy it for now!
As for anything else, he would worry about it when death was knocking at his door!
...
For the entire day, Fang Qi enjoyed Liguang's meticulous service.
And Liguang was completely tireless. She even looked more and more radiant!
Her service was so attentive it was almost overbearing. She practically anticipated all of Fang Qi's needs, not even giving him a chance to get up and pour himself a glass of water.
Every time he tried to do something himself, Liguang would gently but firmly take over, accompanied by a contented smile that said, "Please leave it to Liguang."
He didn't have to do anything for himself. He just had to sit on the sofa, and any request would be fulfilled!
He felt that if he was served like this for a long time... he was afraid he would become a completely useless person!
However, after experiencing it firsthand for a day, he finally understood.
As long as he treated Liguang as a mechanical companion who needed to be used and relied upon, and didn't show any inclination of wanting to be independent or abandon her...
Then he could live an incredibly comfortable and extremely awesome life.
After today, he felt so good he was about to ascend to heaven!
Isn't this so much better than the real world...
Is this what a top-tier AI companion is like...!
By now, the night was growing late.
Fang Qi watched Liguang, who was currently making the bed for him.
Her silver hair cascaded down to her waist and hips, glowing with a silky softness under the warm yellow light.
Her slender waist bent into a beautiful curve. Her movements as she tucked in the corners of the blanket were meticulous and gentle, and her pretty side profile bore a contented, happy smile.
Looking at those smooth curves of her waist and hips...
In Fang Qi's heart, that restless urge that every man has...
Was almost impossible to suppress anymore!
He took a deep breath.
...Screw being afraid!
If you are a man, you just go for it!
If he didn't make a move now, was he even a man!
The bold feast, while the timid starve!
"Liguang."
He cleared his throat, trying hard to make his voice sound natural and casual, but his heartbeat had already involuntarily sped up.
"It's a bit cold tonight. You... come over and sleep with me."
ap a wealthy young lady? Or else I'll be eliminated by the system? Ye Feng, who awakened the Kidnapper System, originally wanted to live a peaceful life but never imagined he would become a kidnapper of young women. However, after some time, he discovered that all the girls the system ordered him to kidnap were far from ordinary. "Big brother Ye Feng~ You've kidnapped my heart, and now you're not allowed to leave me ever again~" "Ye Feng~ You kidnapped me back then, now it's my turn to capture you♡" "Little Feng, you're mine! You can only be mine!" "Ye Feng, none of them deserve you. Only I love you the most♡" ... This is madness, they've all gone mad! Wait, what? Why are all the girls I kidnapped yanderes?!
lities. One day, Qi Yuan was buying groceries when he unfortunately came face-to-face with a monster. Just when he thought he was going to die on the spot, he suddenly heard the monster's thoughts... "This aura, he's definitely not an ordinary master!" "So terrifying, so terrifying." "A fight with my back against the wall, I can't take it anymore." Qi Yuan: Ah, no one told me that my awakened ability isn't telepathy, but rather the stronger my enemies imagine me to be, the stronger I truly become. PS: Zhou Hai in the first chapter is not the protagonist.
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.
young master of the Shen family—a figure of immense power and wealth beyond measure—and awakened the "Destined Ultimate Villain System"! His starting scenario? Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement. The divine doctor arrogantly taunts: "What does your Shen family have besides a bit of stinking money? You're not even worthy of tying Qingxue's shoelaces!" Shen Fei just smiled. He completely defied the usual script: "Fine, I agree to break off the engagement. Also, notify the finance department to withdraw all investments from the Su family." Minutes later, with its capital chain severed, the Su Group teetered on the brink of bankruptcy! The once aloof and proud ice queen CEO was thrown into utter panic. That very night, she went to Shen Fei's villa, casting aside all dignity to beg and plead desperately... From then on, in this world teeming with Sons of Destiny, Shen Fei embarked on a path of extreme dimensional suppression! A mountain-descending divine doctor? Peerless medical skills? Shen Fei: "Reporting you for practicing medicine without a license! I'll gladly take your ancient medicinal cauldron and twin sister assassins." The Crooked-Smiling Dragon King? Commanding a hundred thousand soldiers with a single order? Shen Fei: "Illegal assembly and suspected treason! Let a fleet of attack helicopters sanitize the area and teach you what the state apparatus really means!" A reborn tycoon? Knows all the golden opportunities of the next decade? Shen Fei: "A trillion in capital to reverse and pump the stock market, making you blow your margin and jump on the very first day of your rebirth!" What Chosen Ones? What bearers of Heavenly Fortune? In Shen Fei's eyes, they're all just chives (i.e., suckers/marks) waiting to be harvested! Shen Fei: "Sorry, but as the Destined Ultimate Villain, I don't play by the rules of honor. I only play the game of dimensional suppression."
