Chapter 131: Chapter 130 What’s the Use of Liking the Girls in the Game? (3rd update! Vote for monthly tickets! Subscribe!)

Mo Shigui carried Anmian’s Dream into the tree hollow.

As he entered the tree hollow, Fureya was seated in a chair, nodding off. She was so tired that she didn’t even realize Mo Shigui had returned, her little head gently bobbing, her breathing steady and calm.

Mo Shigui didn’t wake Fureya; instead, he glanced around the environment inside the tree hollow and suddenly frowned.

Because the tree hollow was really too small, possibly less than eight square meters in size. With a wooden table and two chairs already, it seemed somewhat cramped, and adding a bed left scarcely any room to move around.

It was essentially a college dorm room, if not worse.

Although Mo Shigui himself lived in the dormitory of the Dancing Nuclear Guild for years, his accommodations were much more luxurious than this place, with an area more than three times larger and fully equipped with everything.

...

But now, the tree hollow where Fureya lived contained only a table and two chairs, it didn’t even have a window!

Mo Shigui felt that if he lived in this place for too long, he would definitely develop claustrophobia.

But could a puppet suffer such a psychological illness?

Mo Shigui’s reason told him that a program couldn’t possibly suffer such a mental illness, but the emotional part of him felt very uncomfortable.

All this time, his girl could only live in such a cramped space, which was something Mo Shigui wouldn’t allow.

There must be some way to upgrade.

Mo Shigui carefully placed the bedding he was carrying into a corner of the space; his movements were light but still woke the dozing Fureya.

Fureya suddenly awoke from her slumber, opening her eyes to see Mo Shigui standing beside her and immediately stood up.

“You’ve returned,” Fureya clasped her hands over her chest, greeting Mo Shigui’s return just as she would in the Abyss Temple.

“Go to sleep on the bed.”

Mo Shigui wasn’t in the mood to chat with Fureya and simply pointed at the bedding telling her.

“A bed?” Fureya tilted her head slightly. She was previously just a puppet and didn’t need to rest, so she couldn’t understand what a bed was for.

“It’s what we use to rest. Lie down on it and sleep.”

Mo Shigui didn’t ask Fureya to take off her clothes. He didn’t know if other players had their Fureyas do such a thing, but since the game Saint Spirit wasn’t an 18+ game, Mo Shigui knew that command definitely wouldn’t work.

“Yes,” replied Fureya, obeying Mo Shigui’s command and walking to the side of the bed. She carefully touched the bedding. The quality of Anmian’s Dream was quite good; at least the bedding was soft, with a memory foam-like texture.

This was the first time Fureya had touched something so soft and fluffy. Back in the Abyss Temple, she had only been able to touch hard stones.

So she appeared extremely curious, delicately caressing the bed like a little girl.

“May I really lie on it?” Fureya hesitated, probably thinking the bed was too clean, and she didn’t want to dirty it.

“This bed is yours now, lie down. I have other things to do,” said Mo Shigui.

Fureya, given such direction, didn’t demur and lay directly on the soft, fluffy bed, though she didn’t cover herself with the quilt.

Or rather, she had no concept of covering with a quilt, she just felt that the soft, fluffy thing was very comfortable to sleep on.

Mo Shigui took one glance at Fureya lying on the cotton quilt and his brow furrowed again. What he should be doing now was to cover Fureya with the quilt.

The temperature on Biland Island wasn’t high; the reading from the temperature measurement window was only around seven or eight degrees. At such temperatures, if a player stayed in the sea too long, they would enter a state of hypothermia and continuously lose health.

“Cover yourself with the quilt,” Mo Shigui said again.

He wasn’t planning to cover Fureya with the quilt himself; it wasn’t something he should do… or rather, could do.

“What’s a quilt?” Fureya asked, puzzled.

“It’s that layer behind you,” Mo Shigui pointed at the quilt behind Fureya. Fureya touched behind her and, after trying a few times, successfully covered herself with the cotton quilt.

“Now close your eyes and go to sleep,”

Mo Shigui glanced at the progress of his completed tasks. Ninety-five percent of the Main Quest ‘Life in Peril: Part Two’ was done, and the remaining five percent should be achievable once Fureya fell asleep.

Fureya gently nodded her head, then closed her eyes.

Seeing Fureya entering her slumber, Mo Shigui let out a sigh of relief.

He didn’t want to get too close to Fureya, for now he just wanted to treat her as a main quest, as a necessary task to obtain the game rewards.

This was just like what Can Xin, the guild leader of Abyss Temple, teased him about. Mo Shigui had a girlfriend in reality, and they were in a passionate phase of their relationship, the kind that was headed towards marriage.

No matter how good Fureya was, and how incessantly players called her ‘wife’ on the forums, Mo Shigui’s reason still reminded him that the girl before him was but a bunch of data.

What’s the use of falling for a bunch of data in a game? It’s meaningless in the real world.

Mo Shigui was past the age of crushing on game characters.

A game has its life cycle, and when Mo Shigui grew tired of playing ‘Holy Spirit’, Fureya would cease to exist as well.

Even though he didn’t know when he might grow tired of it, he still needed to keep his distance from Fureya as much as possible.

As Mo Shigui was mulling over this, he suddenly felt someone watching him. Fureya, who was lying on the bed, was staring at him with her silver-grey pupils.

“Close your eyes, sleep,” Mo Shigui instructed again.

This time Fureya didn’t peek anymore and obediently closed her eyes, entering into sleep.

Mo Shigui then half-squatted and began to examine the details of the tree hollow. The tree hollow had its own properties, and as Mo Shigui wished to check them, the attribute pane automatically popped up.

‘Initial Stronghold: Tree Hollow

Level: 1

Area: 8 (square meters)

Aesthetic: 0

Comfort: 3

Furniture: Wooden table, Wooden chairs x2, Dream of Tranquil Sleep.

Bonus Effect: 5% Fatigue Recovery

Chance of Permanent Blessing Acquisition: 0%

You need to upgrade the stronghold to level 2 to advance the level of the tree hollow.’

It was this permanent blessing again… This was the attribute Mo Shigui cared about the most.

In every game, apart from equipment, there are little details that can enhance a player’s stats, like titles and badges and such.

These enhancements may be very slight, but for a top player, these details had to be perfected.

It’s the so-called perfectly built account.

But how should one raise the initial stronghold to the second level? Moreover, Mo Shigui wasn’t playing this new version just to upgrade strongholds for the game developers; his goal was to build his own stronghold!

To lead the members of the Dancing Nuclear Guild in building the most magnificent stronghold, one that all players of ‘Holy Spirit’ will look upon.

This was the only way to achieve the intended promotional effect and a sense of completion that would satisfy Mo Shigui.

As Mo Shigui was thinking this, a quest suddenly popped up in front of him.

‘Battlefield Quest · Stronghold Security, Mission Brief: Many dangerous creatures still lurk around the stronghold. Please eradicate them all. Mission Objective: Eliminate all hostile targets within a 700-meter radius of the initial stronghold. Mission Reward: Initial stronghold raised to level 2. The top twenty contributors will receive ‘Resilient Stronghold Seed’ (Rare Quality) as a reward, and participants in the hunt have a chance of receiving ‘Common Stronghold Seed’ (Common Quality) as a reward.’
