To Get Stronger, I’m Forced to Grind Their Affection

Chapter 30

"Don't use your skills on me! Use them on the enemy, please!"

Luolin shouted helplessly, but Ailuka remained unmoved as she withdrew her weapon.

"Hmph, you're not dead yet, are you?"

"That's because I took medicine! Otherwise, I would have been dead long ago."

Luolin was nearly driven mad with frustration.

"Stop talking nonsense. Don't think this will make me forgive you! We haven't settled what happened last night yet!"

Ailuka glared at Luolin, who could only sigh softly.

After that, he suddenly felt somewhat dizzy.

"What's happening?"

Luolin was startled.[That's the 'debilitated' state. You'll faint and probably need several hours to wake up.]

So he would actually faint? Luolin had thought it would just make him a bit weak.

By the way, please mention this kind of thing in advance! If enemies were still around, that would be terrible!

"Damn it..."

Then Luolin's vision went black as he fainted. Before completely losing consciousness, he felt his face hit something soft.

Damn, so flat...

————

In a daze, Luolin opened his eyes again. The familiar ceiling, the familiar bed.

He had woken up here once more.

Luolin's gaze swept around and noticed that broken stick was still there.

[Host, you're awake. The surgery was successful. You're now a girl.]

"Screw you!"

Although Luolin said this, he still instinctively checked. Fortunately, his manhood was still there.

"Next time, please tell me about the side effects first, okay?"

Luolin had been tricked by this system more than once, and he was quite helpless about it.

However, fortunately, his body seemed fine now. It appeared the side effect was simply fainting for a while.

But what was the current situation?

Luolin looked out the window. It seemed to be evening already.

Suddenly, the door opened. Ailuka walked in carrying a cup of steaming hot water and saw that Luolin was awake.

"You... you're awake? Hmph, I mean, you're finally awake! I thought you had died, making me happy for nothing."

Ailuka said in an abnormal tone.

"Do you really want me dead that badly?"

Luolin asked helplessly in return, shaking his head.

"I just fainted due to the side effects of the medicine. Don't worry, I'm fine."

"Who... who's worried about you?"

Ailuka continued responding in her characteristic tone.

Luolin didn't argue with her and simply sat up.

"The water is for me, right? I'm just thirsty."

"Who said it's for you?"

After Ailuka finished speaking, she drank all the water in the cup in one gulp, but perhaps because the temperature was too high, she ended up burning herself.

"Hiss..."

Ailuka stuck out her tongue to let out the heat.

"Don't, don't laugh!"

Ailuka pointed at Luolin, who was already struggling to hold back his laughter. She glared at him for a while, then put the cup aside.

"You're still a newcomer and already causing so much trouble, this is just incredible."

"I'm not the one causing trouble, they clearly came looking for me."

Although Luolin's previous attack on the drunk Kao could be seen as the trigger, that wasn't the real reason.

Kao must have received some benefit from someone to come after him.

"I don't care, anyway if you cause trouble again, I won't clean up your mess. That uncle from the weapon shop almost chased me all the way to the guild. When he came back and saw his shop was smashed, he immediately kicked me out."

Poor uncle...

"By the way, now that you're awake, you'd better get to the front desk quickly. Luna is about to be driven crazy by you."

"What happened?"

Luolin asked in confusion.

"Didn't you promise her you'd take that commission? But instead you're lying here unconscious. She said if her deposit goes down the drain, she'll definitely kill you."

"..."

Luolin had almost forgotten about this matter.

"That's a commission we were both supposed to do, wouldn't it be the same if you went to accept it?"

"I'm not going!"

Looking at Ailuka's expression, Luolin understood he couldn't rely on her. In fact, Ailuka wasn't good at communicating with others at all...

Well, that was something obvious at first glance.

"Then let's go quickly."

Luolin also didn't want the commission fee to go down the drain, or even worse, end up owing Luna a large sum of money.

"She's already changed shifts, but the client seems to be waiting in the reception room. Luna told you to go there directly."

"Then let's go."

Luolin got out of bed, and Ailuka showed a somewhat different expression.

"Are you really okay? Hmph, it's not that I'm worried about you, but if you pass out again in a bit, I'll probably have to deal with the aftermath again."

"Don't worry, I'm fine."

Luolin said helplessly. He wasn't that fragile. He picked up that broken stick from the side, hoping the favorability system hadn't lied to him earlier and that this thing could actually be used.

"By the way, thanks for coming to save me and bringing me back."

Luolin smiled at Ailuka as he spoke. Ailuka's gaze shifted away.

"I... I didn't go to save you! If you ever dare do anything to me again, I'll definitely kill you!"

[Favorability +100.]

Just as planned.

Luolin revealed a smile of successful scheming.

Little one, you still want to compete with me!
