Reaching sixty percent was not difficult; if they could meet, she could raise it in one go. However, to reach the highest intimacy level, some intimate mini-games would be necessary.
In Xing Yuan's anticipation, the third day finally arrived.
This time, several players were directly teleported into the Tower of Tomorrow.
After a moment of looking at each other, the girls, dressed differently, exchanged glances. Player Sui Feng Qu said shyly, "How about we stick together?"
Player Lian Yu Yan nodded in agreement, "Exactly! Who knows how else this damn instance will try to screw us over."
Although they had managed to clear it, they were still somewhat shaken.
[System Prompt: Players have entered the Tower of Tomorrow. In three minutes, an escape will commence. The requirement is to escape the tower with one living being from within.]
[No mission restrictions. Players are encouraged to utilize their individual strengths!]
"Are there any living people or animals here?" Player Bu Fu Jiu Gan voiced his question.
"Yes! That Goddess definitely is," Qing Yue said confidently.
She was very familiar with this instance, but she remembered it as a challenge instance. When had it become an escape instance?
Before she could ponder, the scene before them instantly changed.
As if instantly transported to ancient times, they looked around through the hazy crimson curtains. It strongly resembled a lady's boudoir from ancient times.
Diagonally opposite the bed was a dressing table inlaid with colorful shells, exceedingly beautiful and dazzling.
The gauze curtain in front of them hung low, creating a misty atmosphere. A woman sat behind the curtain, her form vaguely visible. She wore white, her flowing, tassel-like skirt casually draped on the floor, like a well-behaved young lady from a respectable family.
The woman stood up, gently parted the curtain before her, and said with a smile, "Are you here to take me away?"
Silence enveloped the surroundings. The group instinctively held their breath. The woman's skin was as white as snow, her delicate hands were like jade, and her jet-black hair was as transparent as glass. She smiled without baring her teeth, radiant as the moon in the clouds, inspiring no hint of disrespect.
Even as women, they felt a suffocating sensation in their hearts.
"Yes, yes, we are!" Player Sui Feng Qu stammered, becoming involuntarily nervous.
Upon hearing this, the woman's eyes seemed to light up. She bowed gracefully and said with a smile, "Then I'll trouble you all."
The group opened the door. Outside was pitch black, as if a monstrous beast lay in wait to devour them whole.
They closed the door and huddled together to discuss how to clear the mission, as the game did not restrict the number of people who could pass.
"What is your name, miss?" Qing Yue asked cautiously.
"How would you like to call me?" Xing Yuan chuckled, and as if frightened, hugged Qing Yue's slender waist.
Qing Yue's heart trembled, and she instinctively moved away from her.
The Goddess's exquisite beauty was not an issue, but in the game's setting, she was the final boss. How could she be a benevolent figure?
Xing Yuan's eyes held a sly smile, and then...
[Goddess Favorability +2]
Why? This reaction was not right! Shouldn't it have decreased her favorability?
Qing Yue couldn't understand, but she felt intensely panicked.
This was because she remembered the Goddess's character setting: a madwoman who controlled the overall situation. She usually didn't act out, but when she did, she was the nightmare of the entire game world.
This was because all bosses in the instances would directly enter a berserk state. This was originally a small design quirk for players to explore, so no one had considered what to do when the boss went out of control.
"Sister, you don't like me?" Xing Yuan tilted her head, her expression seeming a little wronged.
Qing Yue shook her head and explained, "No, I just don't know how to leave here."
"Right, do you have any desire to destroy the world?" Qing Yue directly probed.
Xing Yuan feigned confusion and blinked her eyes. Seeing Qing Yue's nervous demeanor, she suddenly had a mischievous thought, "Not now, but in the future... who knows?"
Qing Yue became even more worried. The Goddess was indeed a character she liked, but if she awakened consciousness like a real person, her fear would likely outweigh her affection.
Moreover, this game was something they had all worked hard to create together. It was a passion and a dream. If possible, who would want this game to be taken down?
Qing Yue believed she could communicate with her. After failing to phrase her words carefully, she simply said, "What do I need to do for you to be a good person?"
Xing Yuan curved her lips and, while the others weren't paying attention, kissed Qing Yue. As Qing Yue's face turned red, she casually took her hand and said, "Like this, how about it?"
[Goddess Favorability +5]
A warning sound also blared from Qing Yue's game pod, and a line of text appeared before her.
[Ding! Detected player's heart rate is currently above normal. It is recommended that the player go offline to calm down. Do you wish to go offline?]
Qing Yue, with a dark expression, clicked "No" and took two deep breaths, finally calming down.
She said coldly, "Not good."
She might perform, but she wouldn't sell herself.
Player Bu Fu Jiu Gan suddenly exclaimed, then happily said, "Items can be used here."
The players were not low level, so they naturally had many items. In this situation, quite a few items could be useful.
In fact, the greatest danger in this tower was Xing Yuan herself. However, her harmless appearance often made people overlook her danger.
The so-called guardians were actually her pawns.
Therefore, while the players seemed to be in peril, engaging in witty battles with NPCs, they were not actually causing any real harm to either side.
It was all an act, and the NPCs were far more experienced than the players.
Qing Yue's mouth twitched as she watched a low-health NPC suddenly disappear. She looked at Xing Yuan, who had an innocent expression.
She couldn't even understand the point of this instance, as with such a powerful boss present, and the NPCs being her subordinates, it was naturally possible to clear it if one wished.
"What do you truly want?" While everyone was resting, Qing Yue cornered Xing Yuan and asked fiercely.
Her fierce expression couldn't scare Xing Yuan at all. She even laughed, her eyes curving, revealing the owner's pleasure.
She curved her lips and said, "Sister is angry?"
Qing Yue was momentarily dazed, but quickly regained her senses and continued to stare at her coldly. No! For the sake of this game, she couldn't back down.
Xing Yuan said slowly, "What do I want? Do you have anything I need on you? However, if you're asking what I want, there really is one thing!"
"What?"
"Of course, it's you, Sister! Sister can see my favorability towards you, right? Why don't Sister try hard to 'capture' me? Then, I will naturally fulfill all of Sister's requests." Xing Yuan raised her eyebrows, her voice laced with seduction.
