Only I can make them stronger

"I understand! Then Leah will get along well with Xia Ye first!" Leah rubbed her head against Xia Ye and didn't do anything extreme.

"What an easy-to-please girl..." Looking at the other person's appearance, Xia Ye smiled helplessly.

At this moment, the system's prompt came into my mind.

[The Masterless Dog mission completed]

[After that, you will be able to influence Leah's thoughts to a certain extent, and the upper limit of favorability will be increased to 110]

[A completed bond task has been detected, enabling the factor sharing function]

[Under this function, you will be able to selectively enhance the factor ability of the bound character and obtain a certain percentage of the basic attribute improvement of the bound character. Please check the function for details.]

[Unlocking requirements for Leah's factor sharing function: Complete 2 bond tasks, current progress: 1/2]

5. Homecoming

Leah continued her nap, but this time she just leaned against Xia Ye without being too intimate.

As for the latter, he was silently looking at the newly unlocked functions.

When he first checked the files yesterday, he had a question in his mind - his basic values were so low, but there was nothing like experience points in the files to upgrade, so how could he improve his attributes?

Now the factor sharing function gives itself the answer.

Simply put, what he needs to do is to continuously complete bond tasks similar to the one just now to obtain the opponent's four-dimensional bonus and borrow the opponent's skills.

Although Leah's factor sharing function still requires a bond mission to unlock, Xia Ye is still unaware of its specific effects.

But no matter what, at least it provides an extra direction for improving one's own strength, which is always good.

In addition, it is also crucial to be able to enhance the factor ability of the bound character, which means that his teammates can also become stronger as their tasks progress.

Leaning against the tree and looking at the plump girl curled up and sleeping beside him, Xia Ye's thoughts wandered.

Now that I think about it, the "taste" that the other party just mentioned is most likely a special setting similar to the "protagonist halo" in a game.

However, judging from the direction of the bond tasks given by the system, it is obvious that the game "SEEK" does not intend for him to easily conquer his harem simply by relying on the protagonist's halo.

Emotional exchanges, ideological consensus, or some specific matters will most likely appear in the subsequent bond tasks, which means -

This world is not a digitized game world, but a real world within a game framework.

Therefore, he needs to pay extra attention when handling some things.

This made Xia Ye both worried and excited.

But now that he's here, he won't give in.

Traveling across the R18 world and starting a harem has always been his number one dream, and Xia Ye, who considers himself a seasoned expert, is very confident about this.

As for the next first step, it is to get in touch with the Luoqi that Leah mentioned.

………………

The passage of time in the wilderness always seems less obvious. The monotonous desolation and the occasional dogs that pop out have made Xia Ye gradually adapt to the tone of this world.

He and Leah had been gone for nearly two days.

Just when Xia Ye began to wonder why he had a bad smell from not having taken a shower for two days, but Liya was not affected at all, the new scenery that appeared on the horizon cheered him up.

About two or three kilometers ahead, a light that did not belong to the wilderness night came into view.

"The smell of engine oil and metal, that's over there!" Liya also saw the scene ahead, sniffed lightly and said excitedly:

"Finally I can go home! A soft bed and Luoqi's cooking! Here I come!"

Xia Ye was no less happy than Liya.

The journey in the wilderness was too much torture for him, a stay-at-home guy who usually never left his house.

He also wanted to take a comfortable hot bath, then lie in bed and have a good sleep without worrying about monsters attacking him.

So the two of them worked together and quickened their pace.

……

Only when Xia Ye was still a hundred meters away from the city could he see the city's appearance clearly.

The tall metal walls are filled with the mechanical style unique to the steampunk era, but some details seem to show the characteristics of modern technology.

The mixture of the industrial age and the electronic age is very consistent with the urban characteristics of the post-era wasteland building complex.

At this time, Leah took out the long windbreaker that she had been using as a quilt from her backpack and put it on, completely covering her sexy figure.

This behavior attracted Xia Ye's attention.

He thought that this girl wouldn't care about clothes at all, or that this was just the way the world was set up.

"This is Leah's special lightweight combat suit! It not only has a certain degree of protection, but also can protect your body parts from being exposed!" Noticing Xia Ye's gaze, Leah thought he was curious about her clothes and explained.

"So you put it on here because you don't want others to see your figure?"

"I don't like the way others look at me. Don't show it to them!" Leah answered without hesitation.

"So I can watch it?" Xia Ye asked, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

"Sure! I like Xia Ye!" The girl nodded very seriously, took his arm and led him to the city gate, "Come on, I'll take you into the city! Luo Qi will definitely like you too!"

The distance of a hundred meters passed in a flash, and the two arrived at the gate of the metal city.

"Name." A guard standing in front of the door, wearing military-like uniform and holding an assault rifle, stopped them.

"Liya, resident of Building 13, Zone C, clerk at Qianshi Office, with long-term residence status." Liya spoke a series of professional terms fluently in an uncharacteristic tone.

Just as Xia Ye was looking at him with admiration, the girl came closer to him and whispered proudly: "Luo Qi asked me to recite this paragraph for three days! How is it? Isn't it amazing!"

"..."

"What about this?" After verifying Leah's identity with an instrument in his hand, the guard pointed his gun at Xia Ye.

"A wanderer, who was picked up by me, and..." Leah had intended to imitate Luo Qi in her memory and negotiate with the other party, but her limited vocabulary made her speech suddenly pause.

Fortunately, Xia Ye reacted very quickly and continued:

"I will temporarily stay at Qianshi Office tonight. Tomorrow, the office staff will take me to complete the identity formalities and information registration immediately."

The black muzzle of the gun made his heart beat fast. Xia Ye even worried that the other party would execute him on the spot because of his identity problem.

So he quickly recalled some games he had played, and based on the content of Leah's words, he imitated similar words to make the other party put down their suspicions.

Fortunately, his experience did work. The guard moved closer, looked Xia Ye up and down for a while, took out a bracelet from his pocket, and put it on his wrist without saying a word.

"This is……"

"Location beacon. If you fail to complete identity registration and residence certification within three days, the Shia City-State has the right to expel you unconditionally... Don't try to take it down. If you forcibly remove it without the key, it will immediately cause a violent explosion."

"go in."

After saying that, the guard stepped aside, clearing the pedestrian passage into the city.

……

The scenery in the city was very different from what Xia Ye had imagined.

He originally thought that in similar wasteland worlds, cities were just gathering places, armed and cold.

But after stepping into the city gate, he found that the inside did not look much different from a real town.

There are vendors hawking their wares on the street, and the intersections are well-planned, with a constant stream of vehicles and pedestrians coming and going. Except for the clothing and architectural styles which are slightly different from those on Earth, everything else is almost the same.

Leah took him into a taxi, and about twenty minutes later, they arrived at their destination, which was where Leah worked - Chise Office.

Xia Ye looked around the duplex building in front of him. The word "Qianshi" was printed in beautiful cursive on the door frame.

Leah pressed her finger on the lock on the door and it opened.

Then, Xia Ye, who had just been pulled into the door, heard her shout:

"Luoqi, look! I brought back a good man!"

6. Maid? Boss?

"Leah!"

A gentle voice came from upstairs, followed by the sound of "dong dong dong" footsteps.

Xia Ye looked in the direction of the voice and saw a slender figure hurriedly walking towards the two of them at the stairs at the end of the corridor.

"Luoqi! I missed you so much!" When Liya saw the latter, she ran towards him and hugged him tightly.

"Okay, okay, be good. I'm glad you're back. This mission took indeed too long, and I missed you too." Luo Qi stroked Leah's head and looked at Xia Ye.

"This man is called Xia Ye, and he's a good man! I found him in the wilderness!" Noticing Luo Qi's gaze, Leah raised her head and excitedly pulled her over to introduce her.

Only then did Xia Ye see clearly the appearance of Luo Qi, whom Leah had mentioned countless times.

Her waist-length black hair, fair skin, big aqua blue eyes and delicate facial features with a hint of classical beauty make her look like an exquisitely crafted doll.

What surprised Xia Ye was that he clearly remembered Leah saying that Luo Qi was the boss of Qianshi Agency, but at this moment, she was wearing a rather gorgeous suspender black silk maid outfit on her well-proportioned figure, and she was holding a broom in her right hand.

No matter how you look at it, she looks like a maid, right?

"Mr. Xia Ye? Are you a guest?" When Luo Qi heard Liya's words, there was a bit more curiosity in her eyes when she looked at Xia Ye.

"No guests! Liya wants Xia Ye to live with us!" Liya pleaded to Luo Qi like a spoiled child.

"I understand." However, Luo Qi did not seem surprised by Liya's "abrupt" request. She just responded and continued:

"Liya, go take a shower first. I'll make you something delicious later."

"Mr. Xia Ye, why don't you take a shower first? We can talk about it later."

Luo Qi's calm state made Xia Ye stunned for a moment, and it was not until she reminded him that he came to his senses.

"Ah good……"

……

"Mr. Xia Ye, please stay in this room tonight. If you have any questions about the use of the equipment, you can call me at any time through the intercom beside the bed. My number is 000."

After Liya returned to her room, Luo Qi took Xia Ye to the second floor, led him to room 006, and helped him enter the fingerprint lock on the door.

"Fingerprints are universal for most doors in the Qianshi Office, so Mr. Xia Ye can enter and exit the main door freely in the future... However, please do not enter and exit other people's rooms at will~"

Walking into the room, Xia Ye found that the floor and the table were spotlessly clean, and the bed was neatly folded, which was even tidier than most hotels.

Seeing Xia Ye's surprised look, Luo Qi explained with a smile:

"Don't worry, this is an empty room. I just clean it up when I need it."

"Okay... okay."

Perhaps sensing Xia Ye's discomfort, Luo Qi continued to speak gently:

"Mr. Xia Ye, since Liya likes you so much, you don't have to be so reserved. Just treat this place as your home."

"I'll go prepare the food, and we'll go to the restaurant and eat and talk, okay?"

"Okay..." But this made Xia Ye even more uncomfortable.

Leah and Luo Qi are like two extremes. One is so natural that she never thinks about anything, while the other seems to be gentle, polite and at the same time extremely considerate, like a housekeeper or servant in a noble family.

"Mr. Xia Ye, do you have any dietary restrictions?"

"Well... except for the internal organs, everything is acceptable."

"I understand. Then Mr. Xia Ye, take a hot bath and relax. I guess the journey in the wilderness must have exhausted you."

As she spoke, Luo Qi lifted her skirt and bowed slightly.

Under the other party's politeness, Xia Ye even felt that his act of secretly glancing at the white thighs under the skirt seemed particularly sinful.

"See you... later~" After saying that, Luo Qi slowly left the room and went downstairs.

……

The furnishings in the house were similar to those on Earth. Although many of the equipment looked different from what Xia Ye remembered, it did not affect his general understanding of how to use them.

Coming to the bathroom, Xia Ye filled the bathtub with water, took off his clothes and lay down in it.

The perfect water temperature made him moan subconsciously.
