Chapter 438: A Special Gift from the Commander
Chapter 438: A Special Gift from the Commander
"So can you untie me now?"
Lynn stared wide-eyed, wriggling his body as he pointed at the dense, transparent threads coiled from his ankles all the way up his arms and face.
He had been completely molded into the shape of Miss Puppet.
Hei Xianyue closed her eyes, gently zipped up the back of her dress, and then her body slowly levitated, looking incredibly elegant, with no trace of her having just beaten someone up.
For this patient who kept provoking her emotions with all sorts of terrible behaviors.
She had already shown great restraint by not beating him to death.
*Ssshhh—*
The transparent threads on Lynn's body slowly snapped apart.
Lynn finally let out a sigh of relief, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, then adjusted his cracked monocle, raised a finger, and said seriously:
"Miss Puppet, although this attempt did encounter a tiny little accident! But isn't the advancement of science and technology accompanied by failures? So please, you must believe me, next time I will definitely create a charger for you that absolutely won't have any malfunctions!"[Ding! Hei Xianyue's Affinity towards you -1!]
Watching the affinity drop almost non-stop, Lynn nimbly raised a finger again and immediately said earnestly:
"I won't make it anymore!"
The affinity drop notifications abruptly stopped.
Lynn (=ω=;).
So difficult, it's really too difficult!
Getting along with such an icy, emotionless, speechless, expressionless loli puppet girl is really a very headache-inducing matter. If it weren't for him having the System to gauge the puppet's psychological changes, it would definitely be a hellish level of difficulty.
But for the sake of 100% emotional develop…
"..."
No, for the sake of establishing a pure, normal friendship with Miss Puppet, I must work even harder.
Lynn felt determined.
But just as Lynn was about to further refine that machine, a series of knocks suddenly came from outside the door.
*Knock knock knock—*
"Doctor, are you in there?"
A girl's voice that seemed quite pleasant came from outside the door, accompanied by faint squirming sounds.
Lynn was startled.
He signaled with his eyes to the levitating Miss Puppet, who gently retreated backward, her body becoming transparent.
Lynn quickly stood up, put on the pale Raven Mask, straightened his tattered robes, and tentacles emerged from beneath the robe, resuming his Dr. X disguise.
"Who is it?" Lynn asked hoarsely.
The voice of the squirming girl came from outside the door, clear yet viscous: "Doctor, sir, I am the logistics officer of the Aberration Fortress, and also the Commander's younger sister. You can call me Aidalin. My brother, feeling grateful for your life-saving grace, asked me to prepare some gifts for you, and hopes you will accept them."
Lynn immediately understood the Commander's intention.
Undoubtedly, this should be the second wave of attempts to win him over.
Lynn smiled slightly.
After all, as part of the corrupt bureaucracy, things like wining and dining, giving gifts, and probing for weaknesses were all very standard procedures.
"Please come in!" Lynn said slowly.
He wanted to see what new tricks that Commander was going to pull.
*Click—*
The door was pushed open from the outside.
Instantly, Lynn saw the figure standing outside the door with the sweet female voice.
It was a creature whose entire body was squirming with twisted tentacles as thick as a wrist. Unlike the Commander's exoskeleton, to put it in human terms, it was a soft, smooth jellyfish-like mass piled up from flesh and blood, with numerous tentacles and mucous membrane tissues extending from the jellyfish.
A soft-bodied creature covered in tentacles!
And Lynn's eyes immediately displayed her status panel.
[Squirming Matriarch · Aidalin]
[Race]: Root Offspring
[Alignment]: Chaotic Evil
[Level]: 71
[Combat Ability]: Although lacking in combat power, she is very... moist.
[Introduction]: One of the Mother Tree's myriad offspring, representing frenzied desire. In the twisted Dark World, their wild cravings make them unopposed to engaging in special relationships with any creature, and they can never be satisfied. However, unlike Succubi, they do not need deep contact with the opposite sex to sustain their existence; what drives their actions is simply desire in its purest form.
[Ding! Lynn's SAN -1]
[Ding! Zuo Zuo's SAN -2]
Lynn instinctively took a step back, a brilliant yet unnatural smile appearing on his face as he extended a hand:
"Hello."
The squirming desire-tentacle matriarch sized Lynn up, her numerous sticky eyeballs rolling moistly. When her gaze fell upon the thick, menacing tentacles extending from beneath Lynn's robe, her eyes immediately filled with intense affection.
"Hello, Doctor~"
She extended a sticky, gooey tentacle somewhat shyly and timidly, shaking Lynn's hand.
So handsome, just as my brother said, he's truly captivating.
Such thick, textured tentacles, even within the sect, are quite rare. And the suckers and wrinkles on them... just one glance gives an indescribable allure.
Indeed, my brother didn't lie.
He really is the kind of creature where just one look makes you want to... communicate... many, many times.
[Ding! Aidalin's Affinity towards you +30]
[Warning! Please be cautious when interacting with any opposite-sex creatures of the Desire Sect. The offspring of the Desire Sect harbor intense desire for members of the opposite sex of any race. Once deep contact is made with a target, you will inevitably be consumed by lust and become a slave to desire. Please exercise restraint, Host.]
Lynn maintained the smile on his face, a drop of cold sweat already sliding down his forehead.
God!
He understood this.
But what he didn't understand was why the System felt the need to specifically send him such a warning.
Did it really think he would develop some weird interest in tentacle-oriented dark creatures?!
How utterly malicious.
But at this moment, Lynn finally understood the danger of the Desire Sect. Because all the beings he had encountered before were of the same sex, it hadn't manifested. But he never expected this dangerous point was waiting for him here.
"Please come in, esteemed Madam. How may I be of service?"
Though his heart was trembling wildly inside, Lynn still maintained his smile, elegantly inviting this desire-tentacle lady inside.
Aidalin shyly squirmed in and closed the door.
"It's like this, Doctor, sir. My brother specifically asked me to bring you three gifts, saying that if it's for the Doctor, they will definitely be useful."
She squirmed and placed the two boxes she was holding in her... appendages... in front of Lynn.
And intentionally or unintentionally, she displayed her slender tentacles to Lynn.
Simultaneously, she shyly and with a wildly beating heart observed Lynn's expression, but couldn't see it due to the Plague Doctor Mask.
He should have noticed my... beauty by now.
