I really don't want to date a girl addicted to the internet!

"Go back to your head! I want to go back to the company. Go back to your doghouse!" Lin Xuanqi slapped his hand away without any politeness.

"Xuanqi, I advise you to pay more attention to your family, otherwise what will you do after you get married?" the young man said with concern.

"Focus on you my foot, shut up." The girl said irritably. After saying that, she noticed the gazes around her, grabbed the boy by the collar and pulled him in front of her. She lowered her eyes and leaned in without hesitation.

Zhou Han and Ruan Jingyi were both stunned.

Shen Xi took a deep breath, her brows furrowed, her expression turning extremely annoyed and disgusted. She turned and left, coldly tossing out, "A vixen, so pretty?"

Nagasaki Asuna silently followed.

And so, the group, having finished their training camp, got into their respective cars and left.

At noon, Palamera returned to Guang'an Street.

Cheng Fei thought for a moment, then opened WeChat and sent a message to his friend Xiao A.

"Professor Shen, would you mind joining me for lunch at that dim sum restaurant downstairs? We could also catch up on what we were talking about earlier."

"Online"

All I got in response were two cold, impersonal words.

The boy paused for a second, sighed, and obediently lay down to put on his infiltration helmet.

……

another world.

In the dark, desolate, and empty dimensional rift, a planet composed of roots floats silently in the vacuum, shrouded in orange-yellow fluorescence.

Beneath the withered World Tree, a cluster of strangely shaped, silvery-white buildings shimmered with light.

Cheng Fei appeared on the teleportation platform, but saw no one; everything was silent.

The boy thought for a moment, then opened the system interface to exchange for the scanner. He tried using it on the World Tree and succeeded.

[Game ID: World Tree]

Name: Luca

[Power: ? (Transcendent)]

[Perception: ? (Transcendent)]

Endurance: ? (Exceptional)

[Charm: ? (Extraordinary)]

Intelligence: ? (Exceptional)

[Agility: ? (Extraordinary)]

[Luck: ? (Extraordinary)]

Online dating is possible.

The boy fell into a long silence.

Based on the [Supernatural Exchange Coupon] mentioned multiple times in the mission rewards, one needs 10 attribute points to become a Supernatural being, meaning the [?] here must be at least a two-digit number.

Considering the description of the Emerald Dream, the World Tree's perception might even be in the hundreds or thousands.

He began to wonder whether the system's numerical values ​​were just misleading him or if it could truly be that powerful, although the tree was indeed very strong.

And you can even find love online...

System, are you serious?

Cheng Fei looked up at the towering tree in front of him, seriously considering how much reward he could get by conquering it, and whether he would be hunted down across dimensions if he ran away after conquering it. Of course, the most important thing was how to conquer a plant.

"Hello, Luca." The boy nodded to the World Tree.

Unsurprisingly, there was no response.

"What is Cheng Feiyu muttering to himself over there?" A familiar cold voice sounded from behind him.

“Your Majesty, I have a question that may be presumptuous.” The boy turned his head, his expression serious.

"What?" Shen Xi walked over and glanced at him, her face indifferent.

"Does the World Tree have a name?" the boy asked casually.

"Why are you asking about this?" The silver-haired, aloof girl narrowed her eyes.

"What's with this feeling of wariness? It's just a tree, Teacher Shen," the boy asked in surprise.

“Even if she’s a tree, she’s a female tree.” The girl sneered, then paused. “According to the database records, her name should be Luca.”

"Luca? What does that mean?" The boy thought about it seriously.

"It seems to be a name she gave herself, but I don't know its meaning." The girl shook her head.

"So have you ever researched just how powerful the World Tree is, and how it compares to a typical Protoss Queen?" the boy asked curiously.

The girl paused for a moment, then shook her head. "The World Tree is a special life form, and the Protoss Queen is also special. It's hard to compare the two, but if I had to say, a World Tree is equivalent to the Protoss Queen plus the function of an Apostle syndicate."

"So there are many World Trees? And they have their own civilizations?" the boy asked in surprise.

"I don't know. According to the database records, this is the first time the Protoss have encountered the World Tree. Analysis suggests that the World Tree has other races. They spread their seeds and multiply in different dimensions of the universe. Like the Protoss, they are a race that has broken through the dimensional barriers," the girl said thoughtfully.

Cheng Fei observed her small face with awe, "It seems that Her Majesty the Empress has absorbed a lot of Star Spirit knowledge these past two days, and her power has increased once again."

Shen Xi responded with an ambiguous sneer, a flash of annoyance in his eyes. The girl kicked him, turned and walked away, saying, "Enough with the nonsense, come here."

Cheng Fei had no choice but to follow.

The two entered the largest building of the research station and came to a bright hall.

With a thud, a white-haired girl with a youthful appearance, wearing a blue and white sailor uniform and carrying a white umbrella, appeared in front of the two.

"Greetings, Your Excellency!" Isena folded her umbrella and hid it behind her back, tilting her small face up to look at the two of them.

"Little Yi? What brings you here?" Cheng Fei looked her up and down.

“This is her projection; she’s taken over the research station.” Shen Xi lowered her eyes.

“Governor, from now on, this research station will also be managed by my high-performance self.” Isena puffed out her flat chest.

"In that case, congratulations." The boy nodded in understanding, then thought for a moment, "In that case, you don't need Earth's servers anymore?"

“Governor, that’s how it is in theory, but…” the young girl’s eyes darted around, “the energy system of this research station has long been paralyzed and can’t provide computing power.”

"Okay." The boy looked around without any surprise. "By the way, where did Leia and the others go?"

"Heh, I really do miss it." Shen Xi stared at him.

"Teacher Shen, please don't be like this. I know you've been unhappy eating tiramisu these past two days, and you wouldn't go out to eat when I asked you to." The boy mourned silently.

The girl turned her face away, ignoring his words, and said, "They went back."

"What do you mean 'went back'? Did you go back in the Miriam?" The boy didn't understand for a moment.

"As expected of Cheng Feiyu with a poor memory, I already mentioned before that all the teleportation stations at the crash site have been restarted. Now you can go anywhere on that planet from here." The girl said impatiently, using a gesture to bring up the interface.

On the translucent surface of the planetary projection, dense clusters of tiny lights appeared, each roughly corresponding to the location of a teleportation station.

The boy nodded in understanding. "I see. So, Leia and Eve went back to the canopy. They're not coming back?"

"Cheng Fei, do you really want them to come back?" The girl stared at him.

"Teacher Shen, this is too much. If you're really that unhappy, just log off and hold a meeting. Please." The boy clasped his hands together.

The girl took a deep breath and turned her face away. "It's just a temporary return. Leia is going to tell the elves about the situation here, and Vino has also gone to the headquarters of the Light Magic Technology Association."

"I see." The boy nodded quickly.

"Although this research station is specifically used for studying variable order entities, it also has basic functions. Let me show you around first, and we'll have the regular meeting tonight." The girl changed the subject abruptly, her expression completely unchanged, as if she were talking about something trivial.

"I understand. May I hold your hand now?" the boy asked cautiously.

The girl glanced at him, her face cold. "No."

"Why?" the boy asked, looking at him.

"For no reason." The girl said coldly, each word distinct, radiating a subtle displeasure.

"Whatever makes you happy." The boy chose to bow his head.

Isena stood beside the two, watching them, completely bewildered.

……

Cheng Fei took off his infiltration helmet; it was already afternoon.

The boy smacked his lips, packed his things, and prepared to leave. Just before leaving, he remembered something and casually said to his notebook, "Little Yi, I have a question for you."

"Please speak, Your Excellency." A familiar, childlike voice rang out.

"What is the Protoss's Hyperdimensional Forge for?" the boy recalled Shen Xi's words from that day.

"The Hyperdimensional Forge is a machine specifically designed to melt virtual energy and produce supernatural matter. Do you need more details?"

"No need for that, I just wanted to ask what would happen if something were thrown in there?"

"There is almost no matter in the universe that can withstand the melting of the superdimensional furnace. Anything thrown in will only be completely disintegrated into virtual energy."

"So, did Her Majesty the Empress used to throw people in there?"

"Of course, Her Majesty the Queen has always had the habit of using condemned prisoners as raw materials in the superdimensional forge." The girl's innocent and childish voice sounded as casual as a child talking about how their parents like to deep-fry fish when making braised fish.

"Okay." The boy swallowed and left the rented room.

After leaving home, Cheng Fei drove his Panamera and rushed to the back gate of Yinghua Cafe to buy a caramel macchiato. He then bought a tiramisu from the front gate bakery before returning to Guang'an Street.

On a bustling street, a cool and aloof girl with waist-length black hair stood at the intersection. She wore a white top with a navy blue high-waisted skirt that accentuated her slender waist. Her legs were thin and white, and she wore spotless white socks and black uniform shoes.

Her delicate and pretty face was expressionless, and she exuded an aura that kept strangers at bay, as always capturing the attention of passersby.

A tall, handsome young man appeared silently beside her and respectfully offered her drinks and desserts, saying, "Your Highness, please enjoy."

Shen Xi glanced at him and the things handed to her, lowered her eyes and didn't take them, then walked silently toward the tea shop.

792. Shen Xi never regrets it.

On a summer evening, Guang'an Street was bustling with traffic, and the two strolled side by side.

Shen Xi walked forward on her own, expressionless and not looking to the side, her stubborn lips tightly closed.

Cheng Fei followed beside her, observing her pretty yet cold face. After thinking for a moment, he brought the caramel macchiato to his lips and said, "If you don't want it, then forget it."

After saying that, the boy took a sip of the bittersweet drink and let out a comfortable sigh.

A sharp, piercing gaze suddenly shot straight at me from the side.

The boy shuddered, turned his head with the straw in his mouth, and met the cold, murderous gaze of the girl.

"Who gave you permission to drink?" Shen Xi raised her chin, her eyes narrowed, and said coldly.

"Your Majesty, I apologize." The boy put the things down in a second.

"Give it to me." The girl took a deep breath and snatched the caramel macchiato away in a cold voice without giving a chance to explain. She walked forward and brought it to her mouth, her crystal-clear pink lips slightly open as she held the straw, her fair cheeks puffing out slightly.

The boy watched her silently from the side.

"Disgusting." The girl turned her head and glared at him, making no attempt to hide her disgust.

"Sweetie, since you've already made up through an indirect kiss, you don't need to be so fierce with your words, right?" the boy said helplessly.

"How do you express reconciliation?" The girl's eyes widened slightly, her face showing confusion. Then she pushed the drink into his arms. "I don't want to drink it anymore."

"Your Majesty, I was wrong. Please continue to enjoy my offerings." The young man bowed respectfully.

"Trash." Shen Xi reluctantly put the item back in her mouth and put the straw back in her mouth.

Seeing this, Cheng Fei calmly raised his free hand and placed it on her small shoulder, pulling her slender, delicate body, which exuded a faint fragrance, to his side.

The aloof girl glanced at his palm, narrowed her eyes, and neither expressed her opinion nor resisted.

"Shen Xi, don't you feel nostalgic?" The boy looked up and asked casually.

"What are you missing?" the girl asked expressionlessly.
