[Recorded Member: Asta] [Age: 18+]
[Affiliated Faction: Herta Space Station]
[Status: Bonded] [Bond Level: 10]
This was the Character Card that had always existed in the phone, but compared to before, it now displayed the two new entries: [Status] and [Affection Level].
Lin Li took another look at Kafka’s Character Card.
[Recorded Member: Kafka] [Age: 18+]
[Affiliated Faction: Stellaron Hunters]
[Status: Not Bonded] [Bond Level: 0]
Sure enough, these two new entries had appeared on other Character Cards as well.
Establishing a bond meant the corresponding character could enter the NPC World from the Real World.
Lin Li guessed that once the Favorability Level reached a certain point, it would likely unlock some new functions.
[Day Thirty: Asta, who was an NPC, actually turned into a real person.
The little girl has quite the nerve, daring to point a gun at me—a small punishment was in order!] [Preliminary judgment: Only when a recorded member falls asleep is it possible for them to appear in the NPC World.
More detailed patterns require further verification.]
[The condition for becoming a recorded member is that the NPC has had physical contact with me, which has been verified previously.]
[This rule is good; it prevents any males from appearing in this world.
I only want to get close to pretty girls.]
[At midnight, everything in the space station resets, but Asta was not reset.
The marks on her body are still there, indicating that characters who have established a bond are no longer affected by the reset rule.]
[Tsk!
The NPC for the Galactic Baseballer has also appeared.
Today’s changes are really numerous.
It seems things are progressing toward a key plot point in the Real World as well.]
[Stelle is quite smooth, and unexpectedly well-endowed under her jacket—I underestimated her!]
Lin Li lay on the bed, holding Asta, who was dressed in a bikini, while using his phone to add to yesterday’s diary.
The girl’s lovely body was soft and carried a faint, delicate fragrance, making her perfect as a hugging pillow.
“Pervert!” a soft murmur came from the girl.
Asta had just opened her eyes and happened to see the last line on the phone screen, instinctively muttering the word.
But as soon as she said it, she regretted it.
“Hey, have you already forgotten the lesson so quickly?
Disrespecting me again calls for punishment!” Without another word, Lin Li cupped the girl’s lovely face and kissed her.
The girl’s lips were soft and cool, carrying a faint, fresh scent.
Lin Li skillfully parted her teeth, savoring her unique fragrance in detail.
Asta instinctively pushed against Lin Li but then helplessly relaxed her strength, allowing him to take liberties.
After all the outrageous things that happened yesterday, just a kiss didn’t seem like much anymore.
Besides, she couldn’t resist him anyway.
Having given up struggling, the girl began to experience some different sensations.
Is this what kissing feels like?
Hmm~ it’s kind of nice.
For this punishment, Lin Li did not activate the Interaction to control Asta.
Watching the young woman’s beautiful eyes flutter slightly in that captivating way, his mood grew exceptionally pleasant.
Asta’s lively and varied emotional responses, along with her gradually obedient behavior, greatly satisfied Lin Li.
“Tsk, I’m starting to wonder if this is actually rewarding you,” Lin Li teased with a smile after their lips parted, gazing into Asta’s moist, dazed eyes.
“You…!” Asta was overwhelmed with embarrassment but dared not say anything too provocative.
She quickly broke free from Lin Li’s embrace and hurried into the bathroom with the tap-tap of her slippers.
After the sound of running water, Asta emerged once more.
She was wearing a bikini, clearly showing that the words written on her chest with a marker had been washed away.
“So this world can indeed affect the real world.
In the real world, you can’t wash off the words I wrote?”
“Hmm, they can’t be washed off.” The mere thought of this made Asta furious, but she didn’t dare lash out, only responding sullenly.
It wasn’t just that they couldn’t be washed off—Asta had even contacted Lady Herta afterward, explaining everything that had happened to her in detail.
Naturally, Herta was immensely intrigued by this unheard-of NPC World.
The Erudition Emanator’s consciousness descended into a puppet at the space station, and the two of them spent the entire night researching without sleep, yet they still couldn’t find a way to remove the writing.
Herta even attempted to enter the NPC World but failed.
This only heightened Herta’s interest further.
If she hadn’t had other matters to attend to, she might have personally descended to the space station last night.
“Hmm…
It seems this influence operates at a very high level!” Lin Li nodded.
Asta opened the bedroom wardrobe, found a dress to slip on, covering her graceful figure, and then said, “After returning to the real world, I looked it up.
The Astral Express currently only has Himeko and March 7th as members.
The two people you mentioned were once part of the train crew but left due to certain circumstances.”
“Good, good.
Thank you for looking that up.
Here’s a reward!” Lin Li leaned in close to her and gently pecked her soft lips again!
Asta felt utterly speechless inside.
Punishment is a kiss, and a reward is also a kiss?
You’re just finding excuses to reward yourself, aren’t you?!
Asta took a deep breath to calm herself slightly and said coolly, “As an exchange, can you tell me now who that woman from yesterday was and why she appeared at the space station?”
She instinctively felt that the beautiful woman was extraordinary and must have had another purpose for appearing at the space station.
As the acting station master, she needed to eliminate every potential threat that could disrupt the space station’s smooth operation.
“Oh, her?
She’s a Stellaron Hunter.
Your space station has many of Herta’s valuable items hidden away—you should know that.”
The Stellaron Hunters are renowned throughout the universe and are major fugitives of the Interastral Peace Corporation.
As soon as Asta heard the name, she knew what they were after and immediately grew anxious.
“No, I have to get back—”
“See, you’re rushing again!
The Stellaron Hunters in the real world haven’t arrived at the space station yet.
You still have plenty of time.
Besides, for the space station, they aren’t much of a threat.
The real danger lies ahead.”
Lin Li took her delicate hand and smiled calmly.
“What other threat is there?”
“The Antimatter Legion!
The army under the Destruction Aeon Nanook has set its sights on the space station, and they’ve even dispatched a Doomsday Beast!”
“But there’s no need for you to rush.
With the space station’s defensive capabilities, it should be able to handle an Antimatter Legion if we’re prepared in advance.
Besides, the Astral Express is nearby.
You can ask them for help when the time comes.”
Asta was stunned by the barrage of shocking news.
She didn’t doubt the authenticity of the information—Lin Li had no reason to lie to her.
The girl snapped back to reality and said earnestly to Lin Li, “Can you let me go back?
I really need to return and prepare a response plan.” Her tone even carried a hint of pleading.
“Of course, but—” Lin Li’s eyes shifted, “I’ve provided you with such important information.
Shouldn’t you repay me somehow?” “How should I repay you?”
Lin Li smiled and pointed to his lips: “A kiss!”
