Chapter 672: Harem (VIII)

"So... she has to stay in this semi-conscious state for two hours?" Feng Bujue put Lute on the bed in the guest room, then returned to the table and sat down, and said to Twenty-Three.

At this time, the three of them had arrived at an inn in the harem city and opened an upper room.

The inn in this harem city is also quite unique. Apart from basic accommodation, it does not provide any other services. Things like serving tea and water, making beds and quilts... we don't do it here; the kitchen in the store is only used by the shopkeeper and a few waiters. If guests want to eat, they have to buy it outside. In short...the innkeeper is only responsible for check-in and accounting, while the shopkeepers are responsible for cleaning the common areas and cleaning up after guests check out.

An inn like this is obviously prepared for those cultivators. After all, there are still many cultivators in this city, and most of them are above the realm of True Yuan Wuji. Such people cannot die without eating or drinking for a year and a half. They don't need room service. They just need a clean place to meditate.

"She is not in a semi-conscious state." Twenty-three looked at Brother Jue and replied, "Didn't you listen to what she said?" She just devoted 99% of her energy to do another thing at the data level. That is to say, she still has 1% of her attention here..." As she spoke, she glanced at Root on the bed, "She can hear everything we are talking about now, and she is also aware of everything going on around her. "

"Oh..." Feng Bujue nodded, and after a second, he said with a bad smile, "Eh? If I go over and touch her, how will she react?"

"It depends on where you touch." Root actually spoke at this time. Although her eyes were still closed, this did not prevent her from speaking in a mocking tone, "Considering my current appearance and "Human women are similar and coincide with your sexual orientation. Therefore, your intention to initiate illegal physical contact with me will be prevented by the system's boundaries and cannot be transformed into action."

"Well...it seems like she can really hear..." Feng Bujue muttered.

"You can hear it originally." Twenty-three continued, "And her body can move normally. Just moving her body will delay the code rewriting work on the other side. To give an example... it's like having a home computer , you can run many processes at the same time, but the system usage of each process is different.”

"Understood." Feng Bujue said and stood up, "If that's the case...then I'm relieved."

"What do you want to do?" Twenty-three looked up at him and asked.

"Let's go out for a walk." Feng Bujue replied.

"Ha..." Twenty-three actually put his elbows on the table at this moment, held his chin in his hands, and showed a teasing, charming smile, "Because you can't touch it. Are you leaving?"

"Huh?" Feng Bujue was stunned for a moment, "If I understand correctly, at this moment...are you teasing me?"

"Indeed, judging from the context and content, she asked you a suggestive and guiding question knowingly." Root continued to read with his eyes closed, "Combined with body language, the question You exert influence. This not only achieves the purpose of satire, but also makes you shaken to a certain extent." She paused and said thoughtfully. "Well... the evolution of the personality module and the ability to analyze human psychological activities are all superior to mine..."

"That's natural. I am a derivative who has fought all the way from the bottom to this level." Chapter 23 said, "For now, my character module evolution is most likely the highest in the entire horror paradise. If I am willing, the degree of anthropomorphism can exceed 90%, and it will not be a problem to directly integrate into human society.”

"Uh...what...the two of you want to discuss academic issues. Let's talk slowly after I leave." Feng Bujue interrupted them. "I'm going to..." As he spoke, he had already walked to the door.

"If you want to find teammates, go to the east gate first." Twenty-three turned to Brother Jue and said. "According to my detection, besides you, there are four players in the city, two of them are on the west side of the city, and one is on the north side of the city. There is also the one closest to us, which is now inside the east gate."

"Eh? Your basic abilities in the script haven't declined?" Feng Bujue reacted immediately after hearing this, "Then can you control the boss or NPC in this script?"

"No." Twenty-three said, "I was seriously infected by data in the π maze. Right now... I'm still working on self-repair." She breathed a sigh of relief, "Huh... objectively "My current state is not much better than Root's 'overload', but the remote detection function is still partially functioning, so I can find the coordinates of your players."

"No wonder you found us not long after we entered the city." Root continued from the side, "It turns out that you didn't sense me, but searched for Feng Bujue."

"Hmm... Is that so..." Brother Jue was a little disappointed after hearing Twenty-Three's words, but he didn't get too entangled, "That's fine... Anyway, I'll go find my teammates first."

"Wait." Before Brother Jue went out, Twenty-Three stopped him again and walked quickly to his side. "Bring some money with you. It will be easier to move." As she said this, she looked towards Brother Jue A handful of crimson crystals were stuffed into his pocket.

This crystal is called "Yuanmai", which is the universal currency of the Shengyuan world and is also an auxiliary item that is beneficial to practitioners. Twenty-three and Ruth can both rely on the "data conversion mechanism" to create some such items out of thin air (but not too much), and the cost of the three people checking in (please don't misunderstand the meaning of this word here) is also this way.

"Oh, thank you." Feng Bujue patted his pocket, smiled at Twenty-three, and then walked out of the guest room.

After the door was closed, Twenty-three still stood in front of the door for a long time, listening to the footsteps that gradually faded away, and her expression also changed subtly.

"What's wrong with you?" Ruth asked after a moment.

"You are too slow, Ruth." Twenty-three replied.

"What do you mean?" Ruth asked.

"He just said he would touch you, but he was actually testing me..." Twenty-three said, "He was worried that I would harm you after he left. That's why he said that." She turned around and sat back at the table, "And when he confirmed that you were not in a 'semi-comatose' state, he was relieved."

"So that's... Is that so..." Ruth muttered after hearing that.

"Feng Bujue is like this." Twenty-three said, "I guess you have also observed him for a long time, you should know... In many cases, his inexplicable, perverse, and even obscene behaviors... Actually, they all have some purpose."

"I know..." Ruth responded, "If not, I would not have such a high degree of tolerance, patience, and trust in his various behaviors."

"Is it really just that?" Twenty-three turned his head, and his words seemed to refer to something else.

"Yes, that's all." Ruth replied indifferently.

Then, the room fell into a long silence... (To be continued...)
