Chapter 399 399: Say it again, where do you live?

Last chapter for today*^

“…”

Renji looked at Lena, but Lena shook her head at this time, looking innocent, indicating that she had nothing to do with it and hadn’t done any behind-the-scenes manipulation.

Afterwards, setting up the device and giving out the number were all done in one go, saving Renji a lot of trouble. When they walked out of the mobile phone store and saw the store clerk waving at them, Renji still felt that it was too sus…

“Mr. Renji, do you know, a friend of mine told me before that if two people are destined to be together, even fate will always help them.”

“I didn’t believe it before, thinking that my friend might have gotten addicted to watching astrology movies, but now…”

“I really believe it a bit.”

Lena smiled sweetly at Renji, then stretched out her hand, asking Renji for his new phone.

“It’s your first time using a phone, you probably don’t know how to operate many things. Come, I’ll teach you. First, download some commonly used apps, like this social app. After that, register an account for yourself. Finally, it’s the address book. I’ll teach you how to add others. Okay, look, that’s it!”

When Lena handed the phone back to Renji, there was already one more contact in the previously blank contact list.

[Beloved Lena] – (Pinned to top) (Set as special attention) (Enabled special ringtone)

“…”

After looking at the pink-haired woman beside him who was eyeing him like a tiger, Renji finally gave up on the idea of modifying it.

Let’s just leave it like this.

Lena first smiled happily, especially since she became the first and only one in Renji’s contact list. It seemed that she felt this was not enough, and she had to take advantage of this great opportunity to occupy more “bases”.

The pink-haired woman’s bright eyes turned, and she took Renji’s phone again. Then she leaned close to Renji. Before the young man could react, she suddenly closed the distance with him, almost face to face, then raised the phone high and pressed the shutter button.

Click!

“Mm, not bad, the pixels on a good phone are really high!”

After looking at the selfie of herself and Renji in the same frame, Lena was very satisfied. She first sent this photo to herself through the social app, then pretended to continue teaching Renji how to use the phone. Using “how to change the lock screen” as an example, she set this intimate photo of the two of them as the unlock screen page and chat background page of Renji’s phone.

This way… Even if there are any seductive bitches out there who want to get close to Renji later, they should know who the real deal is when they see the phone screen, hmph!

Hah!??…

Strange?

Where does this feeling of competitiveness come from? After all, I should have an absolute advantage now, right? Why am I always so nervous?

Lena felt strange, but she always trusted her intuition very much. So in order to increase more common topics between her and Renji, she helped the young man download “Fallen Chronicles II” on his phone as well.

“Come, you can register with your phone number. Next is creating your own character image. Do you want to customize the face or randomize it?”

“Randomize.”

After Renji clicked “Random Generation” on the game’s initial interface, a few seconds later, a character shrouded in shadows, wearing a cloak, appeared on the screen.

“Huh? Is this a special model? It’s my first time seeing it. I feel…” Seeing this character model, Lena was stunned for a moment and muttered a bit.

“Familiar?” Renji added the second half of Lena’s sentence.

“Yes! There’s this a sense of familiarity, for some reason, it just feels very strange…”

“Me too.”

“Mm, not bad, it’s a good sign. I think for a game, you should invest your emotions and treat it as a real world. Even if it’s a virtual image, it’s a good thing to be compatible with yourself!”

“But…”

Lena’s voice suddenly sounded a bit hesitant, because the next step was the naming process, and Renji, having registered late, probably had many names already taken.

But next, Renji also saw the prompt “Please enter character nickname” and thought for a moment before typing [Ashen].

In Lena’s view, such a nickname should have been registered by someone else long ago, but to her surprise and amazement, it actually showed that the registration was successful!

“Next is some newbie tutorial levels. Come, I’ll teach you how to play this game. Let’s get to level 10 first, so we can unlock the friend system later…”

Renji was actually already very familiar with the operation of “Fallen Chronicles II” through the chubby guy before, but seeing Lena so happy and immersed in it now, Renji didn’t disturb her and focused on being a newbie, listening attentively to Lena’s explanations.

After about two hours, as the game character finally leveled up to 10 in a flash of golden light, Lena let out a long breath, finally breaking out of her state of concentration.

“Lena, you really like ‘Fallen Chronicles II’.” Renji, who had been playing the role of a newbie for two hours while watching the pink-haired woman play, couldn’t help but sigh.

Some designers really only treat game design as work, but Renji could see from Lena’s performance just now that Lena truly loved it.

“Hehe, of course, didn’t I tell you, I treat ‘Fallen Chronicles II’ as a real world. This is also the goal of our Alliance.”

“Goal?”

“Yes, the dream that the founder of the Alliance, President Miyuki, has always insisted on is to make the ‘Fallen Chronicles’ IP flourish, so that players all over the world can immerse themselves in the world of our game and work together to change this precarious world.”

“For this, our President even issued the classic saying ‘Otaku save the world’, haven’t you heard of it?”

Lena looked proud and admiring when she said this.

Save the world?

Renji felt like he had grasped something.

“Alright, let’s add friends next!”

Lena operated Renji’s game page and entered the words “Princess Lena” in the “Friend Search”. Soon, a virtual character image with the same pink hair popped up.

However… Renji looked at Lena’s game image, pink hair, chubby little wings behind her back, and a pink heart-shaped tail extending from her butt, swaying in midair.

Isn’t this… a succubus?

“Random! No choice, the system randomized it!” Lena blushed a little and repeatedly emphasized to Renji.

Happy times are always short. When the two of them came out this afternoon and came back to their senses, the sky was already getting dark.

When it was time to part, Lena didn’t say she was reluctant.

After all, she had now grasped a lot of information about Renji, which was vastly different from before. She was very steady in her heart. After today, Renji was equivalent to a cooked duck. Could he still fly away?

Since that was the case, it was like there was no need to eat the whole cake in one bite. Just put it in the fridge for now and continue enjoying it tomorrow.

When parting, Renji originally said he could go back by himself, but he couldn’t resist Lena’s insistence and had to get in Lena’s car and let Lena drive him home.

But afterwards, what made Renji feel strange was that after he had just fastened his seat belt and told Lena Yuki’s home address…

The pink-haired woman in the driver’s seat suddenly froze all over.

Then Lena abruptly turned her head, as if doubting her ears, and quickly asked again with an incredulous look:

“Wait, wait?!”

“Say it again, where do you live?”
