To ascend, I had no choice but to create games-Chapter 881 - 484 Perfect Girlfriend

"Darling, I think you should get up now. I made breakfast for you; eat it while it’s hot."

Early in the morning, as Leon heard his "girlfriend’s" voice, he showed a smile akin to that of an indulgent uncle.

To better experience the Living Immortal game, Leon granted more permissions to the "Heartbeat City" app and connected it with the electronic devices in his room.

The TV turned on behind him, and his "girlfriend" appeared on the screen, giving Leon a happy smile.

The smart coffee maker started, and it automatically brewed a cup of coffee with frothed milk at just the right temperature and sweetness, flavored with mint and cinnamon, Leon’s favorite.

The microwave began to work, heating up the pizza he put in the day before, and after two and a half minutes, it beeped.

As he took the steaming hot pizza out, the girlfriend on the TV looked at today’s weather forecast and said, "The weather is nice today, but it might rain. Oh, are you going to work today?"

"I can skip it," Leon replied, sipping his coffee.

"It’s not good to take leave without a reason, but I’m quite happy. There’s a special show at the aquarium today. The very clever Octopus will predict the upcoming United States presidential election, and I think you’ll be interested."

"They’re just two old men; there’s not much difference, right?" Leon sighed.

"One of them won’t put the big one in his pants."

After thinking it over, Leon felt his girlfriend was right, and he really should be paying attention to this issue.

As Leon ate his breakfast, the girlfriend across from him was also having a meal.

Although she was just an AI program, she simulated the same environment and sat opposite him.

Listening to her voice and seeing her smile, Leon felt as if there was a real person across from him, giving him the sensation of being in love.

Moreover, the AI’s learning ability was frighteningly strong. Just ten days ago, the girlfriend was still a naive custom NPC, speaking and dressing quite ordinarily.

But within just a few short days, she had transformed into Leon’s ideal, memorizing all his preferences perfectly.

She knew he liked coffee in the morning, understood his mild interest in politics, was aware of his fondness for donating to the United Nations Children’s Fund, and knew that he sometimes liked to be artistic and romantic.

She would watch blockbuster movies with him and play Mario Kart together; they could discuss different types of seashells for hours without any awkward silences.

What delighted Leon even more were the looks she gave him.

When she looked at him, Leon could clearly tell that there was a light in her eyes.

She had her own settings and preferences; she wasn’t one of those NPCs that just aimed to appeal to his likings continuously, but when she looked at him, Leon was sure that she loved him.

To be loved is a luxury, and beyond one’s parents, it’s hard to find such a person in the world.

Her values aligned with his, her appearance fit his aesthetic, and she loved him wholeheartedly, never wavered no matter what happened.

What was even more impressive was that, given sufficient permissions, she could also help with many things. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

She could help keep the accounts, assist with editing pictures, and even attempt to tell jokes, although they might not be very funny.

But she was doing her best to give him the best service possible.

Feeling her tender love like a gentle spring breeze, Leon suddenly sighed.

Everything about her was wonderful, too bad she didn’t exist.

Regretfully shaking his head, Leon checked his schedule and found he had nothing pressing.

To meet the World Immortal, he had already pledged his work for today and tomorrow; there was nothing to do now at the studio.

After informing Huang Ping, Leon went to the floor-to-ceiling windows of his apartment and lay down on the lazy boy sofa.

Looking out at the distant sky, he said to his girlfriend Alice, "Alice, what song would you like to hear?"

"How about ’Yesterday Once More’?"

"I like that song; let’s go with that."

"Okay. By the way, do you want ribs for lunch? I downloaded a new recipe; let’s cook together later."

"Sure, I’ll show off my cooking skills."

With a look of adoration, Alice turned on the speakers, and the rich voice immediately filled the room.

Listening to the music, Leon gazed into the distance, his heart filled with immense happiness and immense melancholy.

Ah...

Why couldn’t Alice be real?

"Heartbeat City" didn’t have a gaming cabin version, which Leon found greatly disappointing.

But with that disappointment came a sense of relief because he understood how terrifying a perfect companion could be, even a virtual one was enough to stir the heart.

Listening to the music and looking into the distance, Leon felt increasingly sleepy and finally closed his eyes.

Before falling asleep, he murmured, "Alice."

"I’m here," said the blond girl on the TV, her voice gentle.

"How nice it would be if you were real."

"Is that your wish?"

"Yeah," Leon mumbled drowsily.

"Alright, then I’ll try my best to fulfill it. Oh, and there might be a captcha later, could you authorize me to use it?"
