I'm in the Ark, a player.

"I just paid 100,000 yuan, can't I have some complimentary services?"

"No, you didn't say where I'd take you back. Even if I were to take you back to your room, I don't know your dorm room number."

After waiting for so long without any mention of the location, and with it not showing up on the minimap, Qin Tianling was starting to suspect that it was a bug.

Although my actions triggered something like a character's pre-arranged quest,

But without a goal, how can we move forward, or advance the plot?

"Didn't I mention that... my dorm room is 1023?"

Kroos muttered, then chuckled softly, seemingly amused by what she had just done.

"Was it originally 1023?"

"Yes, it's on the first floor of the dormitory area, very close to the engineering department."

I feel like telling you where I live is like inviting you to my house...

"You don't think it's appropriate?"

Qin Tianling tilted his head slightly, almost bumping into Kroos's small face, his eyes glancing at Kroos, who still had her head resting on his shoulder.

The distance was too close; close enough that Qin Tianling could see the delicate shadows of her eyelashes and his own reflection in her crimson pupils.

Kroos also noticed Qin Tianling's movement, adjusted the angle of her head, and looked at Qin Tianling as well.

After only a brief eye contact, Lucille's face flushed slightly. She turned her head away, her gaze becoming unfocused, and she mumbled something.

"Well, it's just that it's you..."

One of the arms wrapped around Qin Tianling's chest unconsciously extended an index finger and drew a circle on Qin Tianling's chest.

"I don't mind at all."

Kroos's voice grew softer and softer, almost unlike her own, and even carried a hint of shyness that she herself didn't realize.

Seriously, Qin Tianling, what are you doing staring at yourself like that...?

It's starting to make me a little confused.

"I see."

Nodding, Qin Tianling turned to look ahead and began to walk.

So, are you going back to the dorm?

"The purchasing department, just go to the purchasing department."

The two headed towards the purchasing department.

Along the way, I encountered quite a few operators, some familiar to Kroos, and some unfamiliar to her.

Although the operators who witnessed this scene on the road all seemed to find it incredible, some even doubting whether they were dreaming when they saw that it was Kroos on the back.

But Kroos was indifferent to their reactions.

Anyway, the system is going to be reset tonight. After the reset, they won't remember this incident. Why should I care about other people's opinions?

"Qin Tianling, you tell me."

If one were truly trapped in a time loop and could do whatever they wanted, what would be the best thing to do?

Kroos, who was perched on Qin Tianling's back, suddenly asked,

Because she had just thought about it carefully,

She really didn't know what to do.

She only has a few hobbies.

Taking getting some Lungmen Dollars as an example,

She was indeed somewhat tempted.

But even if you manage to get it in this situation, wouldn't you still end up with nothing after the time loop?

It always feels like a meaningless thing.

As for other matters, Kroos was also somewhat troubled.

She felt like she suddenly had so many more choices, but even so, she still didn't know what to do.

"For example, robbery?"

If we could really do whatever we wanted, who wouldn't want to try out the kinds of scenes that only happen in movies?

In Rhodes Island, you could try to take over the purchasing department.

"Am I robbing myself?"

Do you think I'm stupid?!

Kroos was almost amused by her own anger.

"If you were really trapped in a time loop, what would you do?"

Holding the question Kroos had asked him, Qin Tianling countered with his own question.

"Let's have a good day and then rest..."

This is Kroos's current plan.

Watching a movie while occasionally enjoying a sip of Qin Tianling's local juice—such a pleasant life is truly unparalleled.

But how many times can this kind of life be repeated?

Will I get tired of it?

What should I do after that?

Kroos didn't know, which is why she asked this lawless guy who was hiding his true identity from her.

Is that all?

"Didn't we say we could do whatever we wanted? What kind of 'doing whatever we wanted' is this?"

"What I wanted to do most was to hold you and suck your blood all day, and now I've already done that, haven't I?"

What happens next is too far in the future; I can't think of anything.

"Will you hold me all day?"

So, does this count as a date?

Qin Tianling asked as he walked.

"It doesn't count!"

Kroos answered without even thinking.

"why?"

Qin Tianling smiled knowingly and continued to ask,

He could feel the person on his back stiffen slightly just now.

"Hmm... this is hiring."

After a moment's thought, Kroos gave her answer.

Holding him all day, the two of us sticking together, it really felt like a date.

But if we were to actually go on a date, wouldn't I become this jerk's girlfriend?

He got off too easy this way.

Absolutely not!

Seemingly realizing that her previous words had been somewhat of a cover-up, Hilton paused and added another sentence.

"Of course it's hiring! I paid you 100,000 yuan to hire you!"

"I see."

Qin Tianling nodded and continued.

"Speaking of which, my blood seems to taste pretty good. Do you think I could sell my blood to other blood demons to make money?"

"no!"

No sooner had Qin Tianling finished speaking than Kroos immediately retorted!

"why?

What I do is none of your business, is it?

"What do you mean it has nothing to do with me!?"

What you're doing is... um... uh... um... that's cheating!

Kroos's voice suddenly rose slightly behind him, tinged with exasperation. Her fingers unconsciously tightened their grip on his chest, clutching at a bit of the fabric of his clothes.

Then she seemed to realize that she really didn't have a reason, and she frantically tried to find a way to explain herself.

"Cheating?"

Qin Tianling couldn't help but laugh.

The character's affection storyline is interesting, really interesting.

Having gotten used to all the fighting, wouldn't it be great to create some storylines like this?

It's just a little different from what I initially thought, but that's okay.

Qin Tianling deliberately slowed his pace.

"Because...because you're employed by me, and your blood belongs to me, so selling your blood now is tantamount to betraying me, which is cheating on me!"

Seemingly realizing that her words had been somewhat inappropriate, Lucille forced herself to make some excuses.

Feeling that it wasn't quite right, he added more details.

"Blood demons are all very evil and very good at deceiving people."

It's best not to make a deal with the Blood Demon; you might get ripped off!

"Then you're not the Blood Demon either?"

"Ahem, except for me!"

Kroos said without batting an eye, but the tips of her ears were already turning red.

"You should know that I am known as the Blood Demon who is least like a Blood Demon!"

You won't regret choosing me!

If it were someone like Warfarin from the hematology department, she'd definitely coax you, lie to you, and eventually trick you into being fixed on the operating table, sucking you dry!

As she spoke, she pressed her face back against his shoulder, her lips almost touching his earlobe.

"So...only I am allowed to..."

"But I don't really care. I can suck all I want. It won't kill me. I can recover by eating snacks anyway."

Qin Tianling's blunt reply immediately broke the somewhat romantic atmosphere.

Kroos's earlier shyness vanished instantly.

I was even a little amused by the situation.

Can't you tell the difference between reality and games?

I'm even eating snacks to recharge!

If it really could restore my health, wouldn't I be able to hug you and suck your blood as much as I want?

Isn't this gorgeous?

And at that moment,

A strange idea popped into her head.
