Apocalyptic Crossover: Starting with a Guide to Winning Over Asuna

That night, Lu Xiao couldn't fall asleep.

Asuna's image filled my mind.

As he pondered these thoughts, he fell asleep.

He had a dream in which Kirito was chasing him with a sword, which startled Lu Xiao so much that he sat up abruptly.

My pajamas were soaked with sweat.

Thankfully it was just a dream. I've heard from elders that dreams and reality are opposites, so Kirito probably won't cut himself.

I glanced at the time; it was already eight o'clock the next morning.

The supermarket across the street is still having a sale today, and they also have new hair clips and fridge magnets.

After thinking for a moment, Lu Xiao picked up his phone and sent a text message to Asuna.

"Miss Asuna, I'm Lu Xiao. Do you remember me? The supermarket across the street is having a discount on new products today. Would you like to come and take a look?"

After sending the text message, he put down his phone and let out a long sigh of relief.

I was a little nervous while typing just now.

Since the system has provided a generous newbie gift pack, which has already lowered the difficulty of conquering Asuna to F level, it's time to make a move.

With a hint of anticipation, Lu Xiao waited anxiously for Asuna's reply.

Lu Xiao paced nervously back and forth in the room, wondering whether she would agree to his request or block him.

Five minutes later, the phone rang.

Lu Xiao immediately opened his phone, and Asuna replied with a message: "What new product discounts are available?"

The reply means there's still a chance.

"We have new hair clips and fridge magnets. I think a pink hair clip would suit you perfectly. You can come and take a look."

After sending the message, Asuna replied after about ten seconds.

"But I have to go to the guild with Kirito this morning."

Is this a tactful way of rejecting myself?

No, I can't give up. I have to be shameless and give it a try. Maybe a miracle will happen.

Lu Xiao continued editing the message: "Do you have time this afternoon?"

The wait was a bit long this time, a full three minutes.

Just when Lu Xiao was feeling hopeless, Asuna sent him a message.

"I should have time this afternoon. I'll come over after I take Kirito home."

Upon seeing Asuna's reply, Lu Xiao was so excited he almost jumped up.

Success! We've finally taken the next step.

"Okay, I'll wait for you," Lu Xiao replied.

Then all you have to do is wait patiently.

Lu Xiao had never felt time pass so slowly; from morning to noon, it felt like an eternity.

Time passed by, second by second.

Two o'clock in the afternoon, three o'clock, four o'clock.

They received no news of Asuna, nor did they see her downstairs.

Could it be that you've forgotten about this?

Just then, my phone rang; it was a message from Asuna.

"I'm almost at the convenience store."

"Okay, I'll be right down."

Lu Xiao quickly dressed, tidied himself up briefly, and hurried downstairs.

Soon after, Asuna was seen walking towards them from a distance, a warm smile on her face.

Unlike yesterday, she dressed up specially today, and her makeup was noticeably more refined.

"Hi~" Asuna waved.

Lu Xiao hurriedly went over to greet her: "Miss Asuna, you look beautiful today."

Asuna smiled and said, "I have something important to discuss with the guild today, so I put on makeup."

It turns out she put on makeup specifically for guild matters. I was overthinking it. After all, she only has 10 points of favorability. How could she possibly put on makeup just for me?

"Let's go check out today's new products."

"Hmm, that's exactly what I was thinking of buying a hair clip."

The two entered the store.

When the shop assistant saw the two, his expression was slightly strange. Didn't they come with another guy yesterday? Why are they with someone else today?

However, the shop assistant had no intention of getting involved in this matter; he sat there playing on his phone.

Asuna walked up to the new product and was drawn to the hair clip in front of her.

"What an adorable hair clip."

Asuna picked up a hair clip and held it up to her head in front of the mirror.

"What do you think of this hair clip?"

"It looks great, and it suits you very well," Lu Xiao replied, not lying, but because it really did look good.

[Your words made Asuna happy. Asuna's affection level increased by 5, bringing her total affection level to 15.]

"What about this one?"

Asuna changed her hair clip again.

"This one is also very nice."

"You're not lying to me, are you? You say every single one looks good. I suspect you're a specially hired salesperson at the supermarket."

"How could that be? It looks really good. Of course, any hair clip will look good on a pretty person."

Seeing Lu Xiao's nervous expression, Asuna couldn't help but laugh out loud: "I was just kidding with you. I believe you're not a salesperson hired by the supermarket."

Asuna finds you interesting. Asuna's affection level increases by 5, bringing her total affection level to 20.

Lu Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, thanking the newbie gift pack for preventing an awkward situation.

[Affection level 20, unlocking the new achievement "Gentle Impression" and receiving 2 yuan. Keep up the good work!]

Ding!

Another 20,000 yuan has arrived in my account.

This way of making money is really fast, much better than working a regular job.

I helped Asuna choose several hair clips, and finally picked a pink one, which looked especially pretty when she wore it.

"Hmm, this is pretty good. Kirito-kun will definitely like it." Asuna said happily to herself in the mirror.

Lu Xiao stood aside, deep in thought. His system could increase the target's favorability, but it wouldn't decrease Asuna's favorability towards Kirito.

So, in the end, it's very possible that Asuna's affection level for both herself and Kirito will both reach 100. Is this possible?

Could you please check Asuna's affection level towards Kirito?

Asuna's affection level towards Kirito is 99%.

As expected, a very high number proves that she deeply loves Kirito.

Lu Xiao suddenly felt a bit like a CS player, but in order to survive in this world, there was no other way.

The two then began selecting refrigerator magnets.

In the end, Asuna chose a pair of matching refrigerator magnets: "One is mine, and the other is for Kirito."

"Yes, both are very beautiful. Kirito-kun will be very happy to receive the gift," Lu Xiao said from the side.

Just then, Asuna's phone rang.

Asuna took out her phone, which displayed Kirito's name.

"It's Kirito-kun on the phone."

Asuna pressed the answer button: "Hey, Kirito, what's up?"

"Are you home yet?" Kirito asked.

"I'm not home yet. I'm going to buy some things outside and I'll be back in a bit."

It was only then that Lu Xiao remembered that Asuna and Kirito usually lived in their own homes, but occasionally they would visit each other's residences and share a bed.

Everyone should be going home today, which is why Tong called to inquire.

"Okay, then be careful and text me when you get home."

"Okay, I bought a really nice gift, I'll give it to you tomorrow."

"Really? I'm really looking forward to it."

"Then I'll hang up now, bye Kirito-kun."

"Bye-bye Asuna."
