A few minutes later, Su Mo reappeared.
This time, he didn’t appear in the living room or five meters away from Chi Yu. Instead…
The game system threw him right outside the house!
The streets were bustling with people and the night lights were just coming on. The nightlife in Doha Town had quietly begun.
After all, most players only logged on at night. This made the Roland Empire more lively at night than during the day. This was one of the changes brought about by players.
Of course, the game developers also balanced this aspect.
6 p.m. in reality corresponded to 12 p.m. in game time. It was a full six hour time difference.
In a way, it was only evening in the game when it was midnight in reality and most players were asleep.
During a normal eight hours of sleep, players could accomplish a lot in the game without significantly disrupting the NPC’s sleep schedule.
Previously, players were too energetic and seriously disrupted the normal routines of the NPC residents. This led His Majesty Snow to issue a decree to impose a curfew after 2 a.m.
The players who dared to cause a big disturbance after that time were all arrested and severely punished. This finally made them behave themselves.
Now it was only a little past 8 p.m, which was when players were most active.
Su Mo’s sudden appearance didn’t attract much attention. Of course, he should be glad that he wasn’t kicked out naked or else…
The players were okay since they were protected by the holy light. However, the NPCs could see everything clearly! If so, he wouldn’t have the face to appear in Doha Town.
This should be an upgrade to the game’s NPC protection system. The first time, it forced him offline and he was five meters away from the NPC when he logged in. The second time, it was right outside the building.
[Warning: Please always be mindful of your conduct and adhere to ethical guidelines. If you are forcibly logged out more than three times, you will be banned from logging in for 24 hours.]
[Current number of violations: 2.]
Su Mo looked at the system notification and pursed his lips. He felt helpless but there was nothing he could do.
Perhaps the only consolation was that with such tight protection, he didn’t have to worry about Chi Yu being harmed by players in the future.
After all, he couldn’t be sure that there were no perverts among the players and what methods these perverts possessed. In a holographic game where the NPCs’ intelligence was so high, the system’s protection of NPCs was reasonable.
But…
He just kissed Chi Yu!
He only realized it before being kicked offline by the system, but a kiss was a kiss!
Su Mo’s cheeks flushed slightly when he thought of this. He reached out and touched his face, and then his lips.
It was a pity he couldn’t kiss Chi Yu any longer. He didn’t have a chance to experience what it felt like before he was kicked offline.
Knock knock knock.
Su Mo didn’t have his keys and was forced to knock on the door.
He didn’t have to wait long. After knocking a few times, the door opened and a puzzled Chi Yu appeared behind it.
Su Mo carefully observed his expression and found that the blush had faded and his eyes were clear and clean, as if he wasn’t affected by the kiss just now.
“Why are you outside?” Chi Yu was puzzled.
Su Mo sighed. “Being thrown out might be another layer of protection from the rules.”
Then he sneaked a glance at Chi Yu. “Just now…”
He didn’t continue because he saw that Chi Yu might’ve looked away, but his ears hidden under his hair were still bright red.
Chi Yu wasn’t completely unresponsive to his kiss!
Su Mo was overjoyed. “Xiao Yu, I just…”
As a result, before he finished speaking, Chi Yu pulled him into the house, pressed on his shoulders and pinned him against the door panel.
“You just stole a kiss from me.”
Chi Yu narrowed his red eyes, which flashed with a fierce light. Of course, he might look more threatening if his cheeks hadn’t turned red again.
Su Mo was so engrossed in the moment that he didn’t care about the door slam at all. He immediately turned off the annoying harassment notifications.
The atmosphere right now was really great!
“I didn’t steal a kiss.”
Su Mo tried to correct it. “I was open and overboard.”
Chi Yu choked. It wasn’t to interrogate the other person but…
His gaze lowered slightly and landed on Su Mo’s lips.
No matter how gentle his personality, he was an adult and still had desires in his heart.
Now that they established a relationship, he naturally wanted to do things that couples did. After all, Chi Yu was a Roland citizen and his upbringing taught him that love shouldn’t be restrained.
Thus, Su Mo watched as Chi Yu’s rosy, alluring lips slowly approached him.
His heart was pounding and every cell in his body was anticipating what might happen next but… Reason finally made him raise a hand to stop Chi Yu.
Before Chi Yu could get angry, Su Mo hurriedly said, “I’ve already been sent back twice. If there is a third time, I will have to wait 24 hours before I can come back to this world.”
Upon hearing this, the dissatisfaction in Chi Yu’s eyes gradually disappeared. He frowned slightly, thought for a moment and said, “I still want to give it a try.”
“You didn’t disappear when I touched you before. Maybe the rules don’t restrict me as much?”
Su Mo blinked. Was Chi Yu trying to exploit a bug?
Indeed, the game imposed significant restrictions on players. The same action he took on Chi Yu resulted in him being forced offline, while Chi Yu’s actions resulted in a notification popping up asking if he wanted to log off.
But…
He felt that the above actions might not work.
The original intention of these rules was to protect NPCs from attacks by players.
If the NPC took the initiative to kiss the player and it was considered that the NPC was voluntary, there might be many NPCs who were forced into ‘voluntarily’ doing so. This was definitely not allowed.
So…
“Then try it,” Su Mo said with a smile.
Chi Yu offered to kiss him! How could he possibly refuse? At worst…
“If I disappear, don’t worry or be afraid. I will come back to you in a day.”
He said solemnly, “Then… come on?”
Su Mo leaned against the door with a smile on his face. His eyes were fixed on Chi Yu without blinking. He looked completely nonchalant as he let Chi Yu do as he pleased.
Chi Yu, “……”
He suddenly felt a tightness in his throat. He was a complete novice in matters of the heart and couldn’t understand what was happening to him. All he knew was that the current Su Mo was incredibly attractive.
“Here I come,” Chi Yu said, a bit nervous.
“Yes.”
Su Mo nodded, his smiling face seeming to say, ‘Come on, come on, my lips are very kissable.’
“……”
Chi Yu stiffened for a few seconds before saying shyly, “Close your eyes.”
Su Mo obediently closed his eyes. He looked carefree and relaxed on the surface, but his hands were actually clenched into fists.
He closed his eyes and waited nervously.
Then he felt the familiar presence approaching, Chi Yu’s breath almost spraying on his face.
He had just stolen a kiss on Chi Yu’s cheek and now… Chi Yu was ready to kiss him.
Su Mo had just gulped nervously when he felt something soft and warm cover him, as well as wet and slippery.
In the next second, Su Mo disappeared.
Chi Yu hadn’t closed his eyes so he witnessed Su Mo’s disappearance.
The contact between the two of them only lasted a second, but Chi Yu felt that his lips had gone numb.
He covered his face and slowly slid down against the door.
Su Mo…
He was just about to pursue that wonderful touch when he felt everything go black and a familiar dizziness washed over him.
He opened his eyes again and found himself in the game cabin. He stared at the transparent cabin door and stubbornly tried to log back in, but…
[You have been forced offline three times. You are unable to log into the game for 24 hours. Countdown: 23:59:30.]
Su Mo stared at it before finally reluctantly accepting reality.
To be honest, the last forced logout wasn’t his own doing but it was still counted. This was too much!
He and Xiao Yu just got together and now they were forced into a long-distance relationship/ It was only one day but it was still incredibly difficult for Su Mo! How was he going to get through the day?
Su Mo was briefly angry but eventually had to back down. He opened the Starry Sky Forum and started searching for information on love missions.
Yes, he remembered that after he and Chi Yu confirmed their relationship, the system prompted him that he could accept couple missions.
Perhaps there was a hidden strategy among these couple missions that would allow him to successfully kiss his wife?
Su had naturally fantasized about Chi Yu before, even in his dreams… cough.
However, all his fantasies had now shattered and left behind only a tiny sliver of hope. At least a kiss! Wasn’t this something that natural couples did?
Unfortunately, so far, not many people in the game had established romantic relationships with NPCs. There was a lot of information about couple missions but it seemed no one knew how to get close to NPCs.
One of the posts quickly caused panic in Su Mo.
[I established a romantic relationship with an NPC.]
Poster:
[Yes, I am dating an NPC. A girl confessed to me. She is super cute and I love her so much!]
[Picture] [Picture] [Picture]
In the middle was the daily lovey-dovey routine between the poster and the NPC, mixed with the envy, jealousy and hatred of many players.
Then not long after, the atmosphere changed.
[Uhh, it’s only been a week and she already wants to sleep with me. Am I that easy?]
[……]
[Wu wu wu, she said I couldn’t do it so she broke up with me.]
