A single-player post-apocalyptic game, but with an all-female teammate mod.

Fighting monsters every day and constantly overcoming instinctive fear and laziness is actually a way to continuously improve one's willpower.

The girl glanced at Aono and saw that his face was flushed. She felt relaxed but also a strange sense of loss.

But soon, she had no time to feel down.

Aono had already taken the initiative to guide her little hand.

"Grip it tight, move it up and down, don't be afraid, use a little force... Ouch, a little gentler..."

She's at least level 10, and although she's not a combat class, her strength is far beyond what an ordinary girl can match.

Fortunately, Aono's physique was stronger, otherwise he might have gone limp.

"I'm sorry, Aono-nii, I... I never did that..."

"It's okay, take your time."

Aono closed his eyes, feeling the soft touch of the girl's full curves pressed against his chest.

While Dudu was concentrating on practicing his hand skills, he quietly took off the strapless top made of the bed sheet.

Then there's that short skirt, which has long since lost its purpose.

Dudu noticed his actions, her beautiful blue eyes flickered, but she ultimately chose to let it go.

As Aono's large hands began to roam freely, two blushes involuntarily appeared on her cheeks, and even the roots of her ears turned pink.

As her body warmed up, the girl's movements became more unrestrained.

Feeling the hard, hot sensation in her palm and the throbbing pulse, her slender fingers began to move.

He awkwardly moved his fingers up and down, his fingertips brushing against the crevice at the tip.

She could feel the little green leaf getting hotter and hotter in her hand, and something was seeping out from its slippery surface.

Perhaps because he had been abstaining from sex for a long time, Aono quickly became aroused.

"Dudu, I'm almost done."

After a few seconds of silence, the girl's voice, barely audible, broke through the silence, "...What should I do? Stop...?"

"No, continue."

Dudu felt that the thing in her hand seemed to have gotten bigger again.

Immediately afterwards, she felt something slippery on her fingertips.

Warm and thick.

It was sticky and kept dripping down between her fingers.

It has a strong smell, very similar to that of photinia flowers.

It's a bit strange, but after smelling it for a while, it seems to have a strange attraction.

Lacking sex education, the young girl was confused, somewhat agitated, and also curious.

As Aono wasn't satisfied yet, a new round of health education classes soon began.

This time, the two no longer hid under the covers, nor were they limited to using their hands.

Feet, legs, mouth...

Under Qingye's guidance, Dudu learned a lot that night.

She made up for all the basic educational knowledge she lacked due to the times.

She only needs to put it into practice before she can be considered a qualified mature woman.

……

The following morning, Aono and Dudu slept in for the first time in a long time.

It wasn't until after nine o'clock that the two of them got up and started tidying up.

Compared to before, I have one more thing to do today—wash the blankets.

Last night, Aono kept his promise and did not enter the penalty area for actual combat.

But other methods were used quite a bit.

Both he and Dudu secreted a lot of fluid.

With the added sweat, this blanket probably won't be usable again without washing it.

While Dudu was washing the blankets and making breakfast, Qingye, as usual, began preparing supplies and weapons for their outing.

I woke up late today, but it's not a big problem.

There's no need to clear out the mobs; you can just focus on fighting the boss, which doesn't take much time.

Even if you get up late, you might actually come back even earlier.

Just as Aono had put all the necessary items into his backpack and was about to go to the kitchen, a system notification popped up in front of him.

[Unlock Trust Bonus]

[Effect: Constitution +15%]

19. Try again

The notification for increasing trust level was blocked, but this one-time, specific notification was not.

There is no option to block this prompt at all.

Aono was taken aback at first, but then a delighted smile appeared on his face.

It seems that last night's events not only did not cause the trust value to decrease, but actually increased it quite a bit.

"Finally, there's a bonus. I wonder what level it took to get this bonus."

He quickly finished what he was doing and rushed to the kitchen.

"Dudu, let me check your profile panel."

The young cook, who was preparing breakfast, nodded shyly and then opened her personal panel.

However, she didn't look at it and continued to concentrate on cooking.

At the same time that Qingye received the system notification, Dudu naturally received it as well.

She had already confirmed the information beforehand and understood why Aono suddenly asked to see her panel.

------

Name: Zhou Meili

Occupation: Chef

Level: 10 (305/∞)

Talents: Ultimate taste (rare), First-class Chinese cuisine (legendary)

Talent effect: (collapsed)

Combat strength: 39

Trust Value: 101% (Bonus: Constitution +15%)

------

Aono stared at the string of numbers, his pupils dilating slightly.

Trust Rating: 101%

"101..."

He tapped the data panel in mid-air with his finger, his tone filled with barely suppressed surprise, "I remember it was always 86% before... it jumped 15% overnight?"

He quickly calculated the increase in his mind, and the more he calculated, the more incredible it seemed.

We've been eating, living, and fighting monsters together for so many days and only gained a little over 20 points. But before we even got to the main event, I gained 15% in just one night...

It's certainly not just because he kept his promise; Dudu himself probably enjoyed it too.

But with such a significant increase, Aono probably also had 18Xmod at its disposal.

Aono did not voice his suspicions.

He saw right through the young cook's feigned composure.

If he dares to make jokes and tease now, then Dudu will dare to make sure he doesn't get breakfast today.

Of all things under the heavens, eating is the most important thing, and Qingye would never let his stomach suffer.

Moreover, as the saying goes, "Keep quiet and make a fortune."

If Dudu gets angry and runs to sleep in the kitchen again tonight, it would be a loss.

Aono was right. Dudu seemed to be focused on making breakfast, but in reality, she was secretly watching him.

Her long, orange-red hair, which kept swaying, testified to the girl's inner tension.

What Qingye could think of, Dudu, as the person involved, knew perfectly well.

She actually enjoyed such a shameful thing, and even looked forward to it...

This change in trust level completely exposed the girl's little secret.

In other words, it wasn't directly written as a level of affection, otherwise Dudu would probably be so embarrassed that she would want to crawl into a hole.

For someone as proud and arrogant as her, this level of trust is even more difficult to bear.

It can be described as a natural counter.

If a beautiful woman with such a personality becomes a teammate in the future, unless Aono takes advantage of physical contact to open and check, there will be absolutely no chance to see the specific values.

After a while, the young cook saw that Qingye was just smiling and hadn't said anything embarrassing, so she slowly relaxed.

After the initial excitement, Aono began to think things through carefully.

Dudu's current trust level is 101%, which means that the original estimate of 100% was the maximum value. It seems that I was wrong.

It's almost certain that 100% is the real beginning.

That's why the trust bonus has only been officially unlocked now.

"100% is not the end..."

Aono stroked his chin, a glint of light flashing in his eyes. "Since the value can exceed the limit, the bonus must be more than just what it is now."

He glanced at the notes following the trust value.

[Bonus: Constitution +15%]

This is the bonus from 101% trust value.

What if we keep increasing it, say to 150% or even 200%?

"Logically, as trust levels continue to increase, the bonuses should also continue to strengthen."

Aono silently pondered, "It's possible that the basic bonus percentage will continue to increase, or it's possible that it will provide entirely new bonus effects."

He personally hopes it is the latter.

It simply increases stamina, which is okay in the early stages, but becomes basically useless in the later stages.

It is a pity that it is tasteless.

If there are new bonus effects, then it's different.

For example, increasing critical hit rate, fixing true damage, improving production efficiency, etc.

Each one is extremely useful!

Aono's limited imagination restricted his guesses.

In reality, the later bonuses from trust points were far more exaggerated and powerful than he had imagined.

"By the way, does this bonus only apply to Dudu, or do we both benefit from it?"

Aono suddenly remembered this and quickly opened his personal panel to check.

Dudu's test results have been confirmed to be effective; the trust value bonus increased her combat power by two points, from 37 to 39.

This effect, which is similar to a permanent self-enhancement, is reflected on the character panel as a certain increase in combat power.

Unless the increase is less than 1 point in combat power, it can be judged at a glance.
