Even if I transform, I will never be captured.

However, just as she once told Priscilla, her existence was for her own pleasure, so she always lived according to her heart.

[Mental Control] is a powerful ability that could move Satella's heart, but compared to the girl's smile at this moment, it is far too insignificant.

"Ding-dong-"

The long-awaited system notification sound suddenly rang in Satella's ears.

Satella's gentle expression suddenly froze.

...Something indescribable surged within Misaki Shokuhou's chest, something she wanted to express, but her throat felt blocked, and she couldn't utter a word.

After a long silence, Misaki Shokuhou took a deep breath and, mustering her courage, was about to speak—

At this moment, Satella, still somewhat dazed, spoke to Misaki Shokuhou in a slightly blank tone:

"Honeybee, let's mate."

Author's Note:

PS1. This chapter is to make up for the extra chapter I missed yesterday. My life has been disrupted by the New Year's Day holiday, so please forgive me for the slower updates.

PS2. Thank you, police. 10 & 0. I really want to eat you up, Yu. (The blade.)

P.S. 3. This chapter is nearly 3,000 words long. I wrote it from 11 pm to 6 am. I'm still not entirely satisfied, but I really did my best. Perhaps this is the limit of my writing ability. I hope you don't mind (ρ_?).

Chapter 33 Satella's Gaming Addiction

Page 48

"Gurgle..."

Satella covered her head with both hands.

There.

it hurts!

They've all started to bulge!

Poor Satella got beaten up by Misaki Shokuhou, she was brutally beaten by that petite loli!

Unfortunately, Satella couldn't fight back. Who told her to blurt out such foul language?

But the fault doesn't lie with me.

Satella felt very wronged.

It's clearly all the system's fault!

Suddenly, a message popped up saying that the "Bond Section" was open. Such a highly embarrassing term immediately attracted Satella's attention.

In short, this newly appeared section was suddenly activated after it was detected that Misaki Shokuhou's affection level towards her had reached its maximum.

Its purpose is to give Satella an additional way to gain permanent abilities.

For example, if her affinity with Misaki Shokuhou reaches its maximum, she will obtain the initial version of Misaki Shokuhou's [Mental Control]... [Mental Suggestion].

Upgrading is possible, but the process will be very dirty, very dirty indeed.

A virtuous girl like Satella is simply unbearable to look at. She was so shocked that she lost her mind and blurted out such a sentence.

However, once you reach the maximum level, you will not only gain the full version of the ability, but you can also summon the enemy to assist you in battle.

In addition, considering that Satella cannot be won over by male characters, there is another way to form bonds with other people besides increasing her affection level.

That is to exceed other people's wishes!

The system does not provide an explanation of what constitutes an excess.

In short, if Satella's guess is that Doraemon's dream is "to make Nobita an independent and strong man," then raising Nobita to become a national leader would probably exceed his expectations.

However, the difficulty of this...

In short, by exceeding the other party's wishes, you can obtain the initial version of their abilities.

Then you don't need to do anything dirty; you can level up simply by using skills.

That's right, it's about leveling up skills!

After acquiring a character's initial abilities, you can obtain a corresponding skill tree. Then, just like in traditional online games, you can obtain wish points by fulfilling other people's wishes, which can then be used to unlock skills on the skill tree.

Different levels of abilities require different skill points to activate.

For example, she can earn ten wish points for fulfilling one of someone's wishes, and double the points if she exceeds the limit.

而食蜂操祈的能力从lv1上升到lv2，需要5点祈愿值；lv2上升到lv3需要10点，lv3到lv4需要20点，从lv4到lv5需要40点。

Looking at it this way, to max out Misaki Shokuhou's skills, you need 75 wish points, which is an outrageous amount!

However, Satella will not consume the Prayer Points skill. Although [Mental Mastery] is quite useful, it is not enough when dealing with real crises. After all, so-called mental skills are often just mystical skills.

Not only can main characters like Touma Kamijou, Accelerator, and Misaka Mikoto resist in various ways, but if necessary, they can also become immune to mental attacks by saying, "I'm from Fairy Tail (just kidding)!"

Not to mention, you can also improve your skills by doing naughty things with Misaki Shokuhou.

"Speaking of which, could it be that we really offended Misaki Shokuhou?"

Satella was deeply worried.

She is satisfied with her current life. If she were kicked out, she would be homeless again and have to find someone else to support her.

But what's done is done, and there's no point in worrying about it now.

Luo Yin of the Tang Dynasty once said, "Drink today, for tomorrow we may die."

So Satella decided to follow the teachings of her ancestors and enjoy life to the fullest.

So she happily put on the latest VR headset and immersed herself in VR games.

This VR game was actually made outside of Academy City, not within Academy City itself.

After all, Academy City's research and development capabilities are mostly concentrated on military industry, superpowers, and various practical items.

The things they developed included things like the Science Angel, the Earth Cyclic Acceleration Magnetic Aiming Cannon, the Continental Cutter, the Dragon Rider, and the Six-Winged—things that sounded incredibly awesome.

Such entertainment-oriented "unorthodox" practices as VR games are despised by the vast majority of scientists in Academy City.

However, according to rumors, the current leading figure in the VR gaming world is actually a scientist who was ostracized from Academy City.

Whether Satella is real or not, I don't know, but in short, the VR games here are really great!

Compared to the VR games in Satella's previous life, which had terrible graphics and made people dizzy, the VR games here are much more advanced, reaching the level of full immersion.

Unfortunately, it's only a single-player game at the moment, but it's said that the world's first fully immersive VR online game is already under development and will be available to everyone in about a year.

Satella quickly got into the game.

Then, shamelessly, I activated the cheat I had downloaded beforehand, instantly leveling up to 999 and annihilating the boss, resulting in an excellent gaming experience!

Just as she was having a great time fighting the level 999 final boss with magic in one hand and sword in the other, suddenly, the game alarm went off!

The helmet is reminding the wearer that someone is interfering with her in reality.

Satella trembled in fright, and instantly, the game character she named "Filthy King" was slapped away by the dragon boss. It flew through the air a few times like a tattered leaf before falling to the ground.

Game over!

faint!

I completely forgot to activate the invincibility cheat!

Satella, annoyed by her miscalculation, took off her helmet to see what was wrong.

Then, she saw Misaki Shokuhou standing in front of her.

"I didn't mean to sleep with you! It's just that there weren't any other rooms available at the research institute, so I had no choice but to sleep here."

Wearing pajamas, Misaki Shokuhou spoke hesitantly.

Page 49

"You hit my helmet over something so trivial?"

This is absolutely incomprehensible!

Satella was furious.

"This is your research institute. If you want to sleep here, do you think I won't allow it?"

"But...but..."

"Oh, it doesn't matter anymore. You go to sleep first, I'll play games for a while longer and then go to sleep."

After saying that, Satella put her helmet back on.

Misaki Shokuhou looked completely bewildered.

But in the next instant, she came to her senses and a surge of anger rose within her, and she became emboldened by evil.

Although she was shy, she at least made up her mind to come to you, and you just went to play games?

This is infuriating!

So, after reloading her save and restarting the game, Satella suddenly went black – the power went out!

When she angrily took off her helmet, she found Misaki Shokuhou holding the power cord she had just unplugged, glaring at her angrily.

"I told you to sleep by yourself, why did you unplug my power cord?!" Satella thought Misaki Shokuhou was simply unreasonable!

"I'm going to pull it out! This is my research institute, after all!"

"So, you're deliberately picking a fight!"

"So what if it is?"

So Satella and Misaki Shokuhou pounced on each other again, rolling around on the carpet and wrestling.
