Chapter 409: You Take Charge of the Beauty Side, I’ll Handle the Handsome Side (1)
Just as Shi Yao was about to correct the mistake, <111111>’s voice suddenly sounded in her earpiece, “Un, I can’t agree more with that. You’ll be in charge of the beauty side, and I’ll handle the handsome side. You’ll pick up the medicine and I’ll be the one to kill the enemies. More than a match in heaven, it’s like we’re a fated couple, made to complement each other…”
Ah… Fated couple? Made to complement each other… Mister Numbers sounds like a particularly loose man…
Seeing how lightly Mister Numbers was taking all of this, Shi Yao didn’t feel too pressured by her words anymore. So, she decided that there was no need to correct it anymore.
She thought that this would be the end of it all, but who could have thought <111111> would continue on, “Since we’re a match made in heaven, why don’t you establish a couple relation inside the game?”
C-c-couple relation?
Is Mister Numbers joking with me?
Shi Yao’s hands trembled so intensely that she nearly dropped her yogurt to the floor.
While patting her chest in relief that she didn’t accidentally commit the grave sin of wasting her yogurt, she replied uncertainly, “Ah? What did you say?”
“I said why don’t we establish a couple relation between us?”
As Mister Numbers spoke, Shi Yao saw him raising his gun and firing a bullet. In the next moment, a notification which she was ever sed to seeing appeared—<111111> killed <Vote Power Stones> with 98K.
Afterward, the words surfaced on the screen of her phone: Winner winner chicken dinner!
Ah? They had already won? But she hadn’t done anything at all…
Just as Shi Yao was going to compliment Mister Numbers for his skills, the latter continued speaking, “… Over at the bottom left corner, you can see it once you tap in. I’ve already applied for it, so you just have to accept it…”
Huh? This matter isn’t over yet?
Shi Yao blinked her eyes in confusion. “That, may I ask why do you suddenly want to establish…”
Shi Yao felt a little embarrassed to say ‘couple’, so she went on it with a more reserved term, “… intimate relations with me…”
“No other reason. Didn’t you mention that we’re a match in heaven earlier?”
But that’s just usual business bootlicking! Are you taking it for real?
Shi Yao was just about to say “Aren’t we just joking around?”, but it appeared like Mister Numbers had guessed what she was going to say and retaliated in advance, saying, “I praised you with utmost sincerity from my heart. It can’t be that you’re just praising me for the sake of it, can you?”
In the face of such overwhelming peer pressure, Shi Yao could only swallow her initial words and say, “No, of course not! My compliments for you come from the bottom of my heart, and they’re even more real than the eels I had for lunch!”
“I trust you!” Mister Numbers spoke with utmost sincerity. “So, you should go and accept the couple request then.”
So, if she were to reject the request, it would mean what she had said earlier were all false?
It was supposed to just be business bootlicking, but somehow, she ended up marrying herself out in the game?
Shi Yao followed <111111>’s instructions, and she soon saw the request to confirm the couple relation.
It’s just a game anyway, it doesn’t matter for us to become a couple here…
Shi Yao gritted her teeth and tapped on the ‘Accept’ button.
Returning back to the main lobby, Shi Yao said, “I’ve accepted your request. My first marriage in games is given out just like that…”
“What a coincidence…” Perhaps it was Shi Yao thinking too much into it, but she somehow sensed an inexplicable gentleness and delight in Mister Number’s voice. “It’s also my first marriage in games…”
