Am I going to be controlled by the players too?

"You are……"

"Just call me Freya." Freya chuckled softly, patting his cheek with a smile that was utterly tender. "Let's go, while Sylvia's not here today, let's go on a date~"

"Dating?"

Cheng Cheng was confused, but the man next to him reacted: "Who are you? This is a school. This student has made a mistake and is going through the withdrawal process..."

"I'm sorry, the person who needs to withdraw from school is someone else."

Freya waved her hand, completely unconcerned about what had happened, and left, clinging tightly to Cheng Cheng. Behind her, the principal pulled out a new stack of documents: "This is Ye Muchun's record of violating school rules. Our school cannot accept a student with such poor conduct..."

"Hello! Principal Zhang!"

The man wanted to argue, but when he saw the principal's fearful and trembling eyes, he swallowed and stopped talking.

For Principal Zhang to speak so resolutely... this woman must have a lot of influence above her; she's met her match.

Just as he was about to say something to beg for mercy, his expression changed—because behind the principal, several regulatory bureau officials and special police officers appeared: "Mr. Ye, we investigated your chemical plant this morning and found many things... Please come with us for questioning..."

He couldn't hear what was said after that.

There was a loud thud, as if a head had hit the ground, followed by complete darkness.

Mr. and Mrs. Cheng were completely bewildered.

They watched as a stunningly beautiful young woman suddenly appeared, took Cheng Cheng away, and disappeared. Then, the school bully's family member suddenly went black and fainted, and was taken away by the special police. After that, starting with the principal, all sorts of big shots who had never been seen before came out to offer their concern and take turns presenting Cheng Cheng with awards and promising policy assistance to Cheng's father...

Am I dreaming?

Mr. Cheng really wanted to ask Cheng Cheng who that girl was, but for some reason, every time he had this thought, the related memories and thoughts would quickly disappear and eventually remain in the deepest part of his mind.

The school bully watched silently as his father and his employees were taken away, then glanced at the retreating figure of the beautiful girl who had been seen leaving with Cheng Cheng. He swallowed hard, his domineering spirit completely vanishing, leaving only deep confusion.

Cheng Cheng, when exactly did you start dating such a beautiful girlfriend?

…………

Everything vanished like fleeting light.

A car was parked at the school gate, a Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano, red like a flame. Cheng Cheng read in a car magazine that this thing would cost around 500 million.

"Get in the car, relax. What's a Ferrari? I can buy you a Bugatti Veyron or a Maybach if you want!"

Freya said, opening the passenger door for him, then got in and started the engine. The Ferrari sped off like a wild horse.

It was afternoon, but the sky was extremely dark, like night. A blood moon hung in the sky, but no one felt anything was wrong.

"I like dates in the evening, so we can quickly finish the less important things beforehand and get straight to the main event," Freya said, gently taking Cheng Cheng's hand. "So I asked Bugu for help. What do you think? Does it look good?"

"nice."

"Who's prettier?" Freya's eyes gleamed in the night.

Blushing and hesitating for a long time, Cheng Cheng finally lowered his head and said, "...Sister is beautiful."

"Hehe~ Sister...hehe..."

Freya chuckled foolishly. In the darkness, the Ferrari sped along the elevated highway, its sides brightly lit.

Cheng Cheng looked at the lights rushing past outside and felt like he was dreaming. He had become a small firefly in this stream of light, rushing forward with other fireflies, wondering if there was an exit ahead.

"Now, Cheng Cheng feels that he has fallen in love with this girl who appeared beside him for some unknown reason."

"Even if he doesn't know the other party's purpose, even if the other party might be a bad person, even if he ends up being sold into a telecom fraud park... he would still be happy to do it."

"Because the girl in front of him was the one he fell in love with at first sight, he decided to love her with his life."

Cheng Cheng: "...Shut up."

"Oh." Freya pouted. "I was just using mind-reading, you know. Was that really your true feeling just now?"

"...So, what's next?"

Cheng Cheng sighed and leaned back in the passenger seat: "Did I lose a dare, or are my organs being targeted? Or is it a honey trap? A dream? My master's mission? A prank on me? Using me as a scapegoat? Tzeentch's conspiracy? Has Project Ladder started again?"

"Pfft... What is it?" Freya chuckled. "Couldn't it be that I, your older sister, fell in love with you at first sight and wanted to tie you up in a hotel and devour you in one bite?"

Cheng Cheng glanced quickly at Freya, his face slightly flushed, and said somewhat wryly, "...I really don't know why you would like me. I've confessed to you a hundred times and failed every time..."

"Haha..." Freya awkwardly looked away, not daring to look at Cheng Cheng. "Well...maybe it's just a matter of personal taste?"

"However, thank you so much... although I don't know what your purpose is."

Cheng Cheng smiled and looked at Freya: "But you've been so good to me... I really don't know how to repay you."

"As for repaying me, just sleep with me for one night... As for the reason, do you really want to know?" Freya's eyes and brows revealed a charming little fox. "If you want to know, call me Mom, and I'll tell you everything."

"……Mother."

"Yes, good girl." Freya smiled smugly. "Actually, you and I are destined lovers. Our story happened..."

"Hey, Freya."

"Didn't I tell you to call me Mom?"

Freya pouted slightly in annoyance, then suddenly realized the voice sounded familiar, and froze on the spot.

She slowly turned her head and looked behind her—on the tailgate of the Ferrari, a white-haired girl with a cold gaze was squatting.

"Ahaha... It's Sylvia." Freya's eyes darted around guiltily. "Weren't you... weren't you on an inspection tour of the lunar base?"

"Freya, you know the rules." Sylvia's hand was already around her neck. "Are you prepared to pay the price for violating Article 1 of the Chengcheng Joint Use Treaty?"

Chapter 167, Cheng Cheng's Laughing Tale: Plants vs. Zombies Endless Mode

"...So, what happened in the end about that meeting in junior high?"

Genshin Impact headquarters, a witch's tea party in the leader's office.

Beneath the inverted Milky Way, Cheng Cheng sipped his tea, listening to Freya and Sylvia, whom he hadn't seen in a long time, recount the stories that had happened before their reunion.

“I made her delete that part of your memory, and then I went to the school and deleted a bunch of other people’s memories to put the matter under control.”

Sylvia said, taking a sip of tea and giving Freya a cold glance.

"I... I just miss him so much..." Freya pouted, feeling wronged. "Besides, even if you hadn't said anything, I would have deleted my memories anyway. But since I'm going to delete them anyway, wouldn't it be a waste if nothing happened before? Don't you want that?"

"I, of course I want to!" Sylvia put down her teacup. "But let's put it another way. What if history goes wrong and Cheng Cheng can no longer see us?"

"Well……"

Freya looked aggrieved and mumbled after a long while, "I already admitted my mistake and promised to give you my first time, and you still do this..."

"First time? What first time?" Cheng Cheng asked, puzzled.

"No, it's nothing..."

Next, Sylvia and Freya continued to recount what had happened before their reunion today.

For example, acquiring MiHoYo, personally creating Cheng Cheng's favorite game, inventing "Yuan Shen" based on the story Cheng Cheng told, and even pushing Dawei to the forefront; constantly secretly gathering power and preparing for conflict, always ready to deal with demons; and meeting a witch once and receiving a lot of help and hints...

There's also the story of Bugu discovering Mu Zimi ahead of time and sealing the Kasyapa Ruomu within her mind together; Mu Zimi's older sister, Mu Yuan, joining the Primal God Cult as the eighth seat and beginning research on fusion warriors; unifying the secret organization and continuing research to find a way to fight the remaining three Primal Gods...

And secretly monitor Cheng Cheng, searching for the sender through the webpage when he obtains "Fate/stay night: The Immortal Crown".

“Priest Demiurge… disappeared after that incident,” Sylvia said gravely. “We’ve searched for him for a long time, including the account ‘Demiurge’ that sent you the game, but we’ve found nothing.”

“According to the witches, the High Priest possesses some authority over this world and is one of the creators of the entire world,” Freya continued. “However, he is not omniscient or omnipotent; at most, he is an ‘imperfect creator,’ and he is definitely not as powerful as… Fate: Immortal Crown.”

The time travel and world-crossing mechanics, monster-killing experience gain, and save-rewinding in Fate/Immortal Crown are indeed incredibly powerful, but according to the witch, these are things they can barely manage, and the priests can certainly do them as well.

However, the sharing of attributes based on intimacy level was beyond the witch's comprehension.

After all, the spark and the source are unique and their total quantity is stable. This is the underlying code of the world. However, now Sylvia and Freya's intimacy level has reached 100, and their attribute sharing has reached 120%!

Not only did it make a copy, it became even stronger!

This does not conform to the objective laws of the world, and it is by no means something that a priest could do.

“Therefore, we suspect that Fate/stay night: Immortal Crown may indeed be true ‘immortality,’ a gift left by your future self to your present self,” Sylvia said. “But we have no way of knowing the specific mechanisms and reasons behind it.”

Everyone fell silent.

Although everyone was excited to see each other again, the pressure of reality did not lessen at all.

No one knows whether the next time the Immortal Crown is forged, it will be disturbed again by that guy, the Divine Ritual Officer.

"...Alright, alright! We've finally reunited, why are we all so serious!"

Freya stood up and clapped her hands: "Sylvia, we have things we want to do more, don't we?"

Sylvia paused for a moment, then blushed and nodded: "Mm."

"What is it?" Cheng Cheng asked, puzzled.

Freya came happily to her side, took her hand, and walked into the depths of the garden, while Sylvia followed behind without saying a word.

Soon, the three arrived at a small wooden cabin hidden deep in the garden.

"This is it."

Freya spoke, opening the wooden door. The furnishings inside were simple: a super large, super soft, and white bed, an equally large open-air bathroom, a small refrigerator, a beanbag chair, and three tablets lying on the bed.

Freya turned around and looked earnestly at Cheng Chengcheng, her face slightly flushed: "We've missed you so much... So, shouldn't we...?"

Cheng Cheng swallowed hard, glanced at the enormous bed in the room, and asked nervously, "What should we do?"

Sylvia followed her in, excitedly grabbing the three tablets from the bed:

"—Of course, it's a thrilling game of Plants vs. Zombies!"

"Wow, how did you guys know I wanted to play Plants vs. Zombies right now?" Cheng Cheng licked his lips. "Now? Should I take a shower first?"

"Right now! We've waited 120,000 years... I can't wait any longer!"

Freya immediately rushed forward, picked up a computer, turned it on, and introduced, "This is our latest version of 'Plants vs. Zombies,' which can be played online and you can control zombies to attack each other—what I mean is, how about Sylvia and I control the zombies while you plant plants to shoot?"

"Of course!"

Cheng Cheng excitedly climbed onto the bed, picked up his tablet, and opened the game: "Did you know? The Sun Mushroom can absorb nearby sunlight, amplify it by half, and store it—I mean—hehe baby, I've stored a lot (sunlight)!"

Freya and Sylvia exchanged a glance and made a decision after a moment: "Okay, okay, it was my fault before. You play with Cheng Cheng first, I'm going to take a shower."

"That's more like it."

Sylvia took off her shoes and socks, climbed onto the bed, sat next to Cheng Cheng, and opened the game: "So, shall I begin?"

"Hmm." Cheng Cheng nodded, waiting to see.
