Zero Succubus in the Territory: Starting with Apprenticeship to the Yi Xuan Sisters

Review: An excellent source of emotional support. With a girl like this by your side, you'll probably never be bored in your life. A rare and wonderful girl.

My inner thoughts: Hmm... I've been so busy with work lately, I haven't had time to go out with Yi. I wonder if he thinks I don't care about him... No, no, one day I'll make him notice my feelings. Come on, Susie!

Yi was a regular customer of this toy store, having bought Star Knight merchandise here many times with Billy. So he and Susie were quite familiar with each other, and since they were close in age, they naturally became friends. In their spare time, the two would go out to play together.

However, he never expected that Susie would also like him; he truly felt deeply guilty.

Good morning, Susie. You must be having a tough time at work lately.

"Hehe, it's not hard work at all. Just seeing Yi makes me feel full of energy!"

As she spoke, Susie raised her smooth, fair arm and showed off her non-existent biceps, looking incredibly cute.

"By the way, is there something the store manager wants to ask of us this time?"

Upon hearing this, Susie cleared her throat and then performed a series of smooth voice transitions as she recounted the toy store manager's request: a batch of sound engines from the store had been lost in the void, and they hoped that the store could help find them.

You might ask why an ordinary toy store would sell weapons like sonic engines. The answer is that, like their video store, the toy store is just a facade; the store's true purpose is a weapons shop that sells all kinds of weapons.

He bought his mask here too; I think it was called something like… Multifunctional Tactical Eyepiece Module.

"Understood. Leave this task to us as well."

"Yay! I knew you guys were the most reliable. Although I don't know what happened, the boss told me that leaving it to you is the right thing to do."

As she spoke, Susie seemed to remember something, and lowered her head to rummage through her pockets.

"Oh, right, the boss also told me that in addition to the usual payment, he would also give us a toy sample as a thank you gift for this commission."

After saying that, Susie put a green, round object into his hand. It was a genuine audio engine, and the configuration seemed to be quite good. Could this be the gift that the store manager prepared for him?

But... is it really okay to just hand over the audio engine to an ordinary employee for delivery?

"The boss also said that since they couldn't find one that suited Yi, they could only give you a sample. They also gave you this as well."

Susie took a black box from the counter in the store. When she opened it, she found a brand new mask lying on the red velvet. It was a completely new design, and she had specially chosen one that he would like.

"Wow... I really like this, thank you."

"Hehe, to be honest, this is the real birthday gift for you. The store manager and I designed it together!"

The girl smiled and gently nuzzled her head against the boy's side.

After hesitating for a moment, Yi gently touched the other person.

"Thank you, Susie, I really like this gift."

"Hmm~"

Inner thoughts: Hehe, I got a pat on the head~

Chapter 148 Supermodel's Special Weapon: The birthday present is Ambhi herself!

"The latest sonic engine, equipped with a fourth-generation synchronous conduction device, releases ultrasonic energy that effectively resonates with the active wavelengths of various ether weapons."

Just then, a familiar voice came from behind. If you listened carefully, the end of the voice seemed to be trembling slightly.

Looking back, the adorable girl with short silver hair was none other than Amby, whom they had rescued yesterday. But was Amby the next one after Nicole...?

Current affection target: Ambition

Gender: Female

Charisma: 96

Characteristics: A calm and collected girl with no emotions, the pillar of the Rabbit House, she takes everything seriously, but sometimes her seriousness leads to some blunders, and she is a reliable provider of dramatic effects.

Hobbies: Eating hamburgers and watching movies.

Favorability: 80

Evaluation: Once the Silver Army's Experiment 0, now Ambidmara, but in New Elidu, how many people don't have a deeply taboo past? But the girl knows that she is willing to give up everything to protect what she has now.

Overall: A rare and wonderful girl. She may occasionally need your assistance, so please help her.

For some reason, when Yi saw the system evaluation section, he suddenly felt a pang of fear, and... a strange sadness welled up inside him. Did Anbi... need his help?

"According to official data, the average initial performance of the weapon is improved by up to 44.21%, and the combat crew equipped with this equipment can increase their survival rate in the cavern by 30%."

Anbi continued speaking expressionlessly, her gaze fixed on Yi's hand. On the other side, Susie, somewhat shyly, finished touching her head. Upon hearing Anbi's words, she tilted her head in confusion.

"Sir, are you referring to something like game settings?"

"Ahem, Ambly, Susie is just a regular employee at the toy store, she probably doesn't know much about these things."

Seeing this, Yi quickly gave Anbi a wink, then leaned close to her ear and whispered something. The girl was clearly unprepared for his sudden approach, especially when his warm breath, accompanied by the boy's elegant fragrance, gently brushed against her ear.

The usually calm and reliable Ambly was momentarily stunned into a state of shyness and lapse in concentration. She murmured incoherently for a few seconds before nodding slightly and giving him a thumbs-up, as if to say, "I understand."

"Sorry, I was too engrossed in playing video games with my friends last night. What I just described was part of a board game."

"Yes, yes, as expected of Ambiya, she can even remember this kind of thing perfectly."

Yi Zayin quickly chimed in, and a subtle smile appeared on the girl's lips as she listened to his praise.

Just then, Susie's phone rang again. Without a doubt, it was that mysterious boss asking her to pass on a message again.

Speaking of which, although Yi felt that he had a pretty good relationship with the toy store owner, he seemed to have never seen the other person's face before. As expected of a dangerous worker, he did a really good job of keeping secrets. He also had to work harder.

The owner stated that they generally offer preferential treatment to knowledgeable customers like Anbi. If Anbi were to purchase a sound engine, he could make an exception and modify the sound engine to best suit Anbi's capabilities.

The reason why a suitable weapon for Yi Yinqing could not be found is that his abilities are very strong, which also means he is very troublesome. The modern military merit system has difficulty creating a weapon that is compatible with him.

However, just because modern military industrial systems cannot do it doesn't mean that his Xiao Ai cannot.

[Ding~ It has been detected that the master does not possess a suitable sound engine. Therefore, an exclusive sound engine is being issued as a reward. Please check your account.]

[Congratulations, host, on obtaining your exclusive audio engine: Day and Moon's Glow]

[Sound Engine Name: Day and Moon's Glow - Level 1]

[The sun and moon revolve together, day and night shine together.]

[Sound Engine Rank: S (Not yet at its peak)]

[Base Attack Power: 1000]

[Secondary Attribute: Critical Hit Rate 36%]

[Sound Engine Effects:]

Chapter 1: Successfully parrying an enemy attack, launching a dodge counterattack, or a combo attack grants "Sun and Moon in Harmony," stacking up to 5 times. This buff is divided into "Sun Stacks" and "Moon Stacks," with each stack increasing the wearer's penetration rate by 20% and all attribute damage by 10%, lasting 10 seconds.

When 5 stacks are reached, all 5 stacks are consumed to trigger the [Eternal Sunfire] state: the next charged attack/enhanced special skill cancels the charge and releases an exclusive special attack animation, which is guaranteed to be a critical hit; being attacked during the release of the special attack will automatically trigger a defensive counterattack, entering a wrestling state. If the wrestling is successful, the target is inflicted with "Weakness" (reduces the enemy's attack effectiveness), with a 10-second cooldown.

When the [Eternal Sunlight] state is triggered, all remaining moon stacks are consumed to activate the [Shaded Moon Shines Together] state. In this state, the wearer's movement speed is increased by 50%, and they will always trigger a perfect dodge when attacked.

Tier 5: The penetration rate of [Sun and Moon Revolve Together] is increased to 100% for each level, and all attribute damage is increased to 50%.

[Eternal Sunfire & Lunar Radiance] Cooldown reduced to 5 seconds, movement speed and critical strike damage increased by 100%.

Exclusive Effect: If the wearer is Yi, a special buff will be activated. (This feature is not yet fully implemented.)

Hearing the system notification in his ear, Yi was still in a daze. A strange feeling rose up in his body, as if... something that had been lost for a long time had suddenly returned to his side. It wasn't until the two people beside him reminded him that he came back to his senses.

“Um… Yi, your eyes and horns are glowing.”

"Ah, sorry, I was a little distracted just now. Actually, I always do this whenever I'm thinking, haha..."

Yi made up a reason on the spot, while Anbi said that although the boss offered a great discount, the Crooked Rabbit House had been in debt for a long time, and even if the three of them worked together, they couldn't afford the latest sound engine.

Therefore, she could only politely decline the boss's offer of help.

Seeing the girl's obviously dejected expression, and recalling what the system had said earlier, Yi decided to help her.

"Susie, could you please give the thank-you gift the boss gave me to Ambly? I'm sorry, I know it's a token of the boss's appreciation, but my friend needs it more right now."

"I see. Yi, you're a good boy. If you need anything in the future, just come to me and I'll try my best to meet your needs."

The toy store owner agreed to his request, and Susie had no objections. After all, the Sound Engine already belonged to Yi, and the real birthday gift that contained his heart was the new mask.

"Really? Thank you, Yi... This will definitely make things much easier when facing that superior... player."

Faced with Yi's kindness, Anbi's tone showed a rare fluctuation, and her eyes sparkled... she seemed genuinely happy.

[Ambition +5, current affection level 85, affection points +500, current affection points 11000, system shop new items notification.]

However, despite her happiness, Anbi also felt a little disappointed. Yi had been so good to her, giving her such an expensive musical instrument and often taking her out for hamburgers, but it seemed that she had never been able to properly repay him.

Even the birthday present I prepared... was just a little doll that I sewed myself... how could it compare to Sound Engine?

And just as she said before, as a member of the Cunning Rabbit House, she's not exactly penniless, but she's certainly penniless. The only thing she can use to repay them is probably...

As she spoke, Ambiya swallowed lightly, a faint blush appearing on her usually calm face.

The only thing left to repay her kindness... is herself...

Chapter 149 Anbi's Thoughts

"So, do you like your new audio engine?"

A moment later, Anbi walked out of the toy store with the Sound Engine, which had been modified by the store manager, a hint of excitement on her little face.

"I really like this design and performance, thank you Yi."

The girl's tone was slightly excited. The modified sound engine not only had improved performance, but its appearance had also been adapted to Anbi's habits. And all of this happened in just a moment. The shopkeeper was quite skillful.

Not only Anbi's sound engine, but this was also prepared for him...

After saying that, he lifted the black briefcase in his hand, which contained the weapon that the shopkeeper had repaired for him. He had only kept it out of the open because Susie was outside. Moreover, saying that it was repaired was not accurate; he still had to do the final assembly himself.

He had been fighting with his tail before only because he accidentally broke his original weapon by using too much force. Although his tail was very powerful, Yi actually preferred the feeling of fighting with his hands.

"Yi, thank you. I will cherish it as the most precious thing. And... this is for you. Happy birthday."

After saying that, Anbi shyly took out a small handmade doll from her pocket and handed it to him. The doll was made in his image. Apart from the rough workmanship, it looked quite cute. More importantly, it was made by Anbi herself.

He knew how many commissions Anbi had to make every day to keep the Rabbit House's finances afloat, but he never expected that she would still find the time to do this for him. Thinking about this, he felt a little touched.

"Thank you, Ambly, I really like this gift."

"Hmm... I'm glad you like it. Also... I want the one from before too..."

Anbi's cheeks flushed slightly, and she became a little shy as she spoke. She nuzzled her head toward Yi. She had been there the whole time when Susie was being patted on the head. Although she wasn't good at grooming herself, she was still considered cute, right? Besides, she had known Yi for longer than Susie. So, if Yi could pat Susie, why couldn't he pat her, Anbi?

So it was just the girl's competitive spirit at work. He thought... never mind, it's nothing.

Yi smiled slightly, reached out and gently rubbed Anbi's hair. The soft touch of her hair in his palm gave Yi a strange feeling.

First it was Susie, then Ambi. I have a feeling... it might become addictive. After all, he's the one who gets touched at home all the time, how could he possibly touch someone else?

"Hmm...it's ready..."

A moment later, Anbi blushed and pulled away from Yi's caress. After saying goodbye to Susie, the two walked together on the path of Sixth Street. Anbi was going to the Hollow to gather information, and Yi was going to solve the shopkeeper's request. The two could help each other out since they were going the same way.

However, Ambly kept her head down the whole way, as if she had something on her mind. Moreover, Itsuki noticed that the path they were taking seemed to be getting more and more secluded, as if they were deliberately heading towards a deserted place...

"Ambi, what's wrong? Is something on your mind?"

Hearing the other person's caring words, Anbi gently raised her head. Only then did Yi notice that the girl's face was very red, so red that it looked like it could bleed.

After a moment's hesitation, Ambi seemed to have finally made up her mind and began to explain.

"Actually... I prepared more than one birthday present."

As she spoke, she slightly raised her eyes, her amber eyes glistening with moisture, like a kitten yearning for affirmation.

“I’m just afraid… Yi, you might not be willing to accept it.”

Yi remained silent. Seeing the other party like this, it was impossible not to soften her heart. Moreover, this "gift" seemed to have brought a considerable burden to Anbi. At this point, she could only choose to accept it.

"No, that's not true. I'll accept any gift that Amby gives me, since we're good friends."

"Hmm... okay, I'll give you the gift now."

Upon hearing this, Anbi's expression briefly turned somber, but the girl quickly composed herself, nodding gently. The blush on her face had not faded, and her breathing carried a hint of resolute urgency.

Yi watched as the other person approached step by step, until...

“Ambi, you are… um…”

The girl gently tiptoed, her slender arms naturally wrapping around his neck. A warm, soft touch came from his lips, and before her eyes was his adoring gaze and his delicate face, slightly distorted with shyness.

Yi paused for a moment. Could it be said that he had anticipated things would develop this way? Not entirely, but what was strange was why all the girls around him seemed to have turned on a switch as soon as he came of age.

However... he doesn't dislike it, or rather, no one would dislike it; it's only human nature, but his situation is indeed rare.
