Ark Chess Player

Lin Lu held the hopes of countless boys tightly in her hands. The soft, comfortable feel and the wet sensation that made hearts race were so enticing that it was no wonder some people used it as a hair accessory to tie their hair up.

"If you dare tell me you took this thing off right here, I'll put it on your head!" Lin Lu said viciously.

"Reporting, Doctor," Anemone said in a childish, schoolgirl-like voice, "I did indeed take it off right there!"

"Great! I like your honesty! But I've changed my mind!"

Lin Lu placed his hands on either side of his panties, raised them high, and put them on his head like a crown.

"Be ashamed of what you've done, Anemone! I'm stronger now! Hmph, I love that jealous look on your face!"

Lin Lu raised his hands, tilted his head back and took a deep breath. He finally felt a sense of satisfaction in regaining control of the situation, as if the lines of Araki had been re-etched onto his face.

I'm all better!

"Reporting, Doctor!"

Anemone raised her right hand with great interest, her tone as childlike as a toddler's.

"This is something I just took off from under Ibitas's skirt. It's fresh and warm. Do you like it?"

"..."

Lin Lu's hands froze.

A drop of white, cloudy liquid slid down his forehead.

I don't know if it's sticky water on my pure white cotton panties or sweat.

Lin Lu stiffly turned his head to look at Ibitas.

"It's...it's okay."

Ibitas whispered, then silently lowered her head.

Was it just his imagination? Lin Lu felt like her ears had turned red. Was it just his imagination? Hey!

No! We can't let this continue.

Lin Lü is a chess player whose forte lies in taking a holistic view of the game and focusing on the distant future.

Calm your mind and put all the noisy thoughts behind you. Don't think about anything else!

What did he see during his journey through nine worlds?

—I saw it! I saw it!

I saw a dragon girl in a police uniform bind me with rose gold handcuffs and drag me into a police car!

Gan!

The visuals are just too vivid!

Lin Lu, escaping reality, shouted at Anemone, "You're lying! She's clearly not wearing anything! Look at this puddle on my pants! She was just sitting on this! Tell me, these are your panties, I only want yours! I don't want anyone else's!"

"Doctor, are you really that sexually interested in me?"

The beautiful face of the anemone flower rarely showed a hint of shyness, as if she had been teased by Lin Lu's last words.

Her face flushed red as she fidgeted, pulled a voice recorder from under her skirt, paused the recording, and then played it back.

"..."

This is probably social death.

Lin Lu, now completely burned, revealed a pale gray smile.

"If you don't want this recording to become the wake-up call for every Rhodes Island operator..."

Anemone leaned down, whispered a breath into Lin Lu's ear, and said somewhat dejectedly.

"From now on, please never again... say you want to uninstall me... Even I would be scared."

Lin Lu glanced at her and sighed deeply in resignation.

Anemone is probably his only nemesis; she can bring his intelligence down to her level and then defeat him with her rich experience.

"I never intended to do that, I was just trying to scare you. I'll never uninstall it, don't worry."

"is it?"

Yinlian smiled slightly and deleted the data from the recording pen in front of Lin Lu.

"Doctor, you really have a wicked heart~"

Chapter Sixty-Seven: What kind of person do you take me for?

Rhode Island Medical Center.

Lin Lu slowly opened his eyes, a flash of cobalt blue cold light disappearing in an instant.

The silvery star chart was reflected behind him, blooming like a totem.

Brilliant fluorescent light surrounds the star chart, its radiance flowing and weaving together to form twelve Roman numerals.

"You're back..."

Lin Lu murmured to himself, while observing his surroundings.

It seemed that time stopped at that moment when he fell into the deep spiritual realm.

Kal'tsit and Amiya's sleeping faces, nestled together, remained frozen in memory. The scenery outside the French windows was frozen in that moment. The trajectory of the massive Rhodes Island ships was halted by an invisible force, and even the hands of the clock stopped moving.

"The mark of Ibitas...?"

Lin Lu muttered to himself as he picked up a pen from his desk and tossed it upwards. The pen continued to rise after leaving his hand.

Lin Lu silently counted in his mind. When he reached the third second, the pen reached the peak of the kinetic energy he had given it, and as he expected, it stopped in mid-air, failing to fall to the ground due to gravity. This was enough to make Newton roll out of his coffin and shout, "Give me back my apple!"

The power of time.

It's the dream of so many boys.

It can even leave a separate column on the pink app.

Imagine this: when your mom calls you to pause your game and go eat, you time-stop, run off to finish your meal, and then come back to play. You don't even have to painstakingly explain to your mom the complicated theory that MOBA games can't be paused. That kind of golden experience is every gamer's dream. I used to be a professional gamer myself, until my mom unplugged my internet cable.

Is there anything greater than this?

No!

However, it clearly involves power at the level of divine authority.

Lin Lu, however, was not excited at all; in fact, his calmness was somewhat frightening.

"Did I... also have this power in the past?"

When Lin Lu examined his own heart, the answer was clearly beyond his expectations.

He was increasingly confused about who he used to be.

Lin Lu sighed softly, placed his hands on the desk, and looked at the sleeping Kal'tsit and Amiya.

Finally, his gaze settled on Kal'tsit's slightly pale lips.

"Gurgle."

A longing sound came from his throat.

"No, no, no, I didn't think about that kind of thing!"

Lin Lu shook his head, dismissing the boy's growth plan that had been brewing in his mind.

It must be Anemone's fault! It's all her fault! She's caused his IQ to plummet. The ignited lust hasn't been suppressed yet; he's in a restless state, clamoring to transform into a Suzhou fire hydrant.

Just you wait, Anemone! One day I'll get used to your stupidity, catch up to your level, and defeat you! Anemone!!

Unaware that he had fallen into the fifth layer of the anemone trap, Lin Lu unconsciously became more playful and moved closer to the sand sculpture.

Lin Lu exhaled softly, focusing his mind on the star chart behind him, which resembled a halo. With a thought, the entire process flowed smoothly, as naturally as manipulating his ten fingers. He could vaguely smell the unique damp scent of Ibitas, as if the petite girl with silver twin ponytails was right in front of him.

Wait, this doesn't seem like an illusion?

Lin Lu was startled and raised his hand to touch the top of his head.

He felt a familiar, comforting touch as he removed the thin cotton pad that had been attached to his head.

Epitas Limited Edition Pure White Panties with a 7-day shelf life, no odor, and no need for washing, complete with lace trim and a blue bow.

Convenient, portable, and highly portable; a must-have for every home.

Damn it! How is this thing still here?!

Just then, the star chart dissipated, returning to the lake of his consciousness.

The office clock, which had been stopped, finally started ticking, making a crisp "tick-tock" sound.

"uh-huh……"

Amiya, fast asleep, twisted her shoulders and buried her head in Kal'tsit's chest, seemingly murmuring because of a lack of happiness.

Kal'tsit, half asleep, rested her chin on Amiya's head and reached out to stroke the little rabbit's back, muttering to herself.

"—!!"

Lin Lu, with lightning speed, tucked his uniquely scented panties into his chest, striking a serious work pose. He couldn't help it; his current clothes were Rhodes Island's custom-made hospital gowns—ultra-thin, stretchy, and comfortable against his skin. They were specifically for medical examinations and didn't even have pockets.

He instinctively tightened his belt on both sides to prevent the thing from falling out accidentally.

"Calm down, calm down... Do a set of five years of college entrance exam simulation to calm yourself down."

Lin Lu brushed his wet bangs aside and took it upon himself to start Kal'tsit's computer.

As Lin Lu's fingerprint touched the power button, he clearly felt the hidden surveillance cameras in the corner of the office all pointed at him. The PRTS logo immediately lit up on the electronic screen, and a bright red warning sign flashed by, seemingly forcibly suppressed by an invisible force.

Lin Lu frowned slightly and murmured, "This is..."

"Please don't worry, Doctor. The PRTS system automatically detects the valuables of Level 8 personnel. This is normal. If it weren't for me, PRTS would notify SWEEP to carry out armed suppression 30 seconds after detecting the fingerprint mismatch. The SWEEP team has the authority to issue an elimination order."

An anemone that had appeared out of nowhere was perched on the back of the office chair, and two heavy clumps of cotton were pressing down on Lin Lu's head, the soft texture continuing to sink.

"Doctor, aren't you going to thank me?"

"Ah, puff puff..."

"Doctor? What are you saying?"
