Chapter 36: Chapter 36: Master, Why Do You Have the Scent of Another Succubus on You?

"Mr. Su Xuan, you’re especially delicious today for some reason~"

Su Xuan took off his VR headset, his mind full of Ivsha’s praise.

Her seductive voice echoed in his ears like a heavenly melody, making him tremble.

And then he recalled desecrating a Nun in a medieval church...

"What a sin!"

Su Xuan stood up and rushed to the bathroom to take a shower, hoping he could wash away his sins!

And his trembling legs.

After his shower, Su Xuan went back to bed, planning to scroll through his phone for a bit before sleeping.

He opened his phone and saw he had a new message on WeChat.

"Huh?"

Su Xuan opened WeChat. He wasn’t very social, so it was rare for him to get a message this late at night.

The sudden vibration from a notification felt unfamiliar.

Cute Rabbit: "Su Xuan, are you asleep?"

It was a message from Liu Xue. He wondered what she wanted.

"Not yet. What’s up?"

Cute Rabbit: "There’s an event in the game in a few days. If you complete the event quests, you can get a ton of character EXP. Can I team up with you?"

"An event? How come I didn’t know about it?" Su Xuan was surprised. He hadn’t received any in-game notification.

Cute Rabbit: "You didn’t get one? I’ll ask in the group chat."

"Okay."

A few minutes later.

Cute Rabbit: "I asked around. There is an event, but only Players with a rating below E-Level can participate. It’s a welfare event for newbies..."

Cute Rabbit: "Your Player rating is E!?"

"No, it’s not!"

Su Xuan was completely confused. ’Hasn’t my Player rating always been F+?’

’Could it be because I completed that E-Level commission?’

Cute Rabbit: "Well, if you haven’t reached E-Level, you can join. I’ll try inviting you when the time comes?"

"Sure."

Su Xuan certainly wouldn’t turn down an event with free EXP, but he was still puzzled about why he hadn’t received the notification.

’Is it just one of those weird bugs that every game has?’

’Or maybe... it isn’t a bug?’

’I’m not thinking about it anymore! Time for bed!’

Su Xuan couldn’t be bothered to think about it anymore. He tossed his phone aside and fell into a deep sleep.

Ivsha’s influence had already seeped into his reality, and there was no escape!

...

「Meanwhile.」

"Xiaoxue, I’m done. You can use the bathroom now."

"Okay, got it."

Liu Xue lay on her side in bed, hugging a plush toy tightly. Her long, pale legs were pressed lightly together as she stared intently at her phone.

It seemed she was waiting for something.

But after a few minutes, her anticipation faded. She set her phone aside and buried her face in the plush toy until her cheeks were flushed, then she sat up, gently peeled off her little lace-trimmed white socks, and padded toward the bathroom.

...

「The next day.」

"Yaaawn~"

Su Xuan arrived at school, yawning.

He felt completely dazed, as if he were drained of all energy and vitality.

It was still early before morning self-study and there were only a few classmates in the room. He could probably catch a nap.

"Didn’t sleep well last night?"

Liu Xue quietly approached Su Xuan’s side and asked curiously.

"Maybe."

Su Xuan couldn’t explain why, so he just gave a noncommittal answer.

"Did you need something?"

"It’s about the event quest. The event starts the day after tomorrow. We’ll be teleported to a specific map, and the final EXP reward will be calculated based on the number of Slimes we kill." Liu Xue explained the event’s completion conditions to Su Xuan.

"Slimes?"

An image of a Slime’s strange texture formed in Su Xuan’s mind.

The Slimes in this game weren’t that Abnormal. Only a few types could cause corrosion to clothing; most were just a bunch of chubby, ordinary Demons.

Not only was their combat power low, but their Aggressiveness was also minimal, making them perfect training targets for newbies.

"Is there a limit?" Su Xuan asked.

"I think so. It seems like the max is 100 Slimes per person, but we probably won’t be able to kill them all. The event only lasts for an hour," Liu Xue replied after thinking for a moment.

"So, 200 Slimes in total?"

Su Xuan did a quick mental calculation. ’That doesn’t seem like very many.’

’I wonder how much EXP that translates to. It should be at least ten thousand, right?’

As he was lost in thought, Liu Xue remained standing by his side, her beautiful eyes fixed on his face.

It wasn’t because she liked Su Xuan, but because she felt there was something different about him today. He was exuding an indescribable Charm...

Liu Xue gently shook her head, mocking herself inwardly. ’I’m not some Romantic Brain, why am I having thoughts like this?’

She quickly turned and went back to her own seat.

...

After school, Su Xuan rushed home as usual.

After putting on his VR headset, he entered the game world. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

In the Guild, Ivsha and Rosaline had been waiting for a long time.

The moment Su Xuan appeared, Ivsha immediately rushed over, greedily demanding another reward.

She asked, so he gave.

Who was he to say no when she insisted?

"’A candy pendant that increases Luck Value by 1 can be sold for 1 Silver Coin?’ Su Xuan muttered while browsing the marketplace, trying to estimate the value of the Nun’s Talisman.

Although there were no other comparable items for sale, if a candy pendant that increased Luck Value by 1 was worth 1 Silver Coin, then the Nun’s Talisman, which increased it by 5, should be worth at least 30 Silver Coins.

After all, the effects of identical Luck Value items didn’t stack, so the higher the Luck Value increase, the higher the value of the item!

"Ivsha, have you ever heard the name Edith?" Su Xuan asked, looking curiously at Ivsha, who was currently enjoying her ’meal’.

"Edith? No, my master. I have never heard that name," Ivsha said, shaking her head. She had no memory of the name.

"You haven’t?"

Su Xuan was puzzled. ’Just who was that woman with the long, wine-red hair?’

’Perhaps Sister Kelly and the others would know something about her. A being like that couldn’t possibly be unknown.’

"Mr. Su Xuan, have you been doing some kind of training lately?"

Ivsha suddenly asked curiously.

"Nope."

"Really? But I think you’re getting stronger... and more delicious~"

Ivsha licked her fingertips, pink hearts sparkling in her eyes.

Hearing this, Su Xuan recalled the Pure Sexual Desire Magic Power that Edith had bestowed upon him. It was probably related to that.

’Although I don’t know what that effect actually does, it seems my appeal to a Succubus has grown even stronger?’

’Probably.’

SNIFF, SNIFF~

Suddenly, Ivsha leaned in close, her nose twitching slightly. Like a little puppy, she sniffed at Su Xuan’s body.

"What’s wrong?"

Su Xuan froze for a moment, not understanding what Ivsha was doing.

However, Ivsha didn’t answer him. She continued to sniff every inch of his skin, finally stopping over the shimmering Holy Light.

She whispered, "My master, why does your body carry the scent of another Succubus?"
