"Almost." The Human Dao nodded.
"So what's the situation now?" Lin Qianxuan asked in confusion, "Can you explain a bit?"
"Simply put, the commotion from me plucking the Dao Fruit was a bit too loud, allowing those five Supremes who wanted to seize the Dao Fruit to relocate Earth's coordinates. Now we're on the run, and the only way to survive is if you or I can completely master this Dao Fruit and then fight our way back." The Human Dao explained.
"Got it." Lin Qianxuan nodded.
The Human Dao stared seriously at Lin Qianxuan and said, "Actually, your next target wasn't necessarily me at first. It's just that I actively contacted the Dao Fruit within you, seemingly interfering with its operation mechanism, causing it to choose me in advance, which was within my expectation. However, I will fully and proactively cooperate with you so that you might obtain a more powerful Dao Fruit through me. Our chances of winning will be greater this way."
Lin Qianxuan's mouth twitched slightly.
Well, case solved.
No wonder the interval for the String of Destiny lighting up is so short this time.
And it only simulates the future half a month ahead.
It turns out it was actively triggered by the Human Dao.
She voluntarily stepped into the game herself!
But since she's willing to cooperate actively, the difficulty level shouldn't be too high.
Still, it feels quite embarrassing.
Always targeting familiar faces....
"I understand, I will do my best too." Lin Qianxuan nodded.
"The World Shuttle's energy has depleted, and the dragon head is too far to replenish energy, and we can't let it draw energy from the Chaotic Void, or it will be detected. We need to charge it ourselves for the next shuttle." The Human Dao said to Lin Qianxuan, holding a golden conical object in her hand.
"About how long will it take to charge?" Lin Qianxuan asked.
"Given the current circumstances, I can only use the Dao Fruit to charge it. I've calculated that if we're lucky, it might take a few thousand years to restore enough energy for one time shuttle." The Human Dao answered.
"How about I give it a try?" Lin Qianxuan suggested.
"Don't make too much noise," The Human Dao nodded and handed the World Shuttle to Lin Qianxuan.
Lin Qianxuan held the World Shuttle, feeling it didn't actually exist in the current Material World.
Like the Hidden Heaven Divine Jade, it also possessed considerable space-time attributes and was enormous in scale.
Lin Qianxuan injected his own energy, and no matter how much, it absorbed it effortlessly.
In an instant, a feedback surfaced in his mind.
"One hundred thirty-seven years....."
Constantly using energy from the Endless Divine Sea, it would take one hundred thirty-seven years to gather enough energy for the next shuttle.
Yes, even with his cultivation, it would take over a century to power the World Shuttle for one excursion.
"That's already very quick," The Human Dao said while looking at Lin Qianxuan. "Its shuttling isn't like ordinary traversing, it's about directly disappearing into the nearby Chaotic Space-Time using space-time as a medium in an informational state. Without this, escaping from those Supremes' grasp would be impossible."
Lin Qianxuan somewhat understood. Although he had also stepped into the Space-Time Realm, his knowledge of Chaotic Space-Time was still limited.
After all, the boundless Chaotic Void's laws are too chaotic. Even with his current ability, entering it wouldn't be easy.
"Then I'll be responsible for charging the World Shuttle," Lin Qianxuan said.
"Mm." The Human Dao nodded, then solemnly said to Lin Qianxuan, "Next, you have to date me, activate your Dao Fruit quickly, and gain more power."
Watching the Human Dao saying such a thing with a straight face, Lin Qianxuan almost couldn't hold it together.
Especially since she still had the face of a young girl, Lin Qianxuan felt somewhat hesitant.....
"Don't I fit your aesthetic standards? Should I change my appearance?" The Human Dao asked upon noticing Lin Qianxuan's slightly complex expression.
"No... let's just start then."
With a wave of his hand, Lin Qianxuan put away the fishing rod and then looked seriously at the Human Dao and said, "You are really cute, I quite like you."
"Mm, I know, my human form is theoretically the most optimal proportion for human appearance, fitting most people's aesthetic standards." The Human Dao nodded, answering with a calm expression.
Lin Qianxuan didn't feel any disturbances in the Destiny sensation.
Clearly, the Human Dao had no emotional fluctuation.
She didn't seem to have the mindset of an innocent girl who's had no social exposure.
Then, how about switching tactics?
"Do you have anything you like?" Lin Qianxuan asked.
"Not particularly, from what I've often encountered, Jiang Mengli used to like feeding me desserts and fish." The Human Dao answered.
Her tone held no signs of joy, and her gaze was calm, indicating that these two foods weren't special to her.
Material gifts probably wouldn't have much impact.
Lin Qianxuan moved a little closer, holding her hand.
"Ling'Er, can we spend our lives together?" Lin Qianxuan asked.
Holding hands caused no change, but when he called her name, her eyes slightly fluttered, yet she had no reaction to the second half of the sentence.
"Do you want to hold a wedding ceremony?" Ling'Er asked in return.
Lin Qianxuan frowned, feeling like he might have misunderstood something.
Then, should he try the unconventional approach?
Without any warning, he embraced Ling'Er.
But Ling'Er didn't respond and simply let Lin Qianxuan hold her.
Moreover, not only Ling'Er showed no reaction, Lin Qianxuan himself felt nothing either.
In a relationship during a solo performance, it's indeed hard to stir emotions.....
"Do you mind if we kiss?" Lin Qianxuan asked.
He felt like he understood something.
"Sure." Ling'Er nodded.
Then she initiated a kiss with Lin Qianxuan, even using her tongue with quite some skill, enough to slightly impress Lin Qianxuan.
Apparently, her knowledge repository was vast.
However, the aura around her didn't show the slightest sway.
After a few seconds, Lin Qianxuan forcibly ended the kiss.
"Shall we continue?"
Ling'Er was already preparing to unbutton, yet Lin Qianxuan held her hand back.
"No need."
Lin Qianxuan shook his head slightly.
He had realized the problem.
Ling'Er was unlike normal humans. She possessed some human emotions but not entirely, and her actions this time lacked even a sense of shame, purely treating it as completing a task.
Simply put, her emotions were very faint, and her thought process resembled the "robot" from science fiction...
Ordinary strategies don't work on her.
Lin Qianxuan sighed in his heart.
He thought this time the strategy would be like a bonus chapter like Zhang Juan before.
Unexpectedly, this time required him to woo an AI mechanical girl.
The good news is, he's had experience pursuing this type of character in dating games.
And not just once, he's quite experienced.
The bad news is, targeting this type of character has never been easy.
Due to their faint emotions, it often takes dying once or twice to activate her feeling system.
Otherwise, it relies on time to nurture, which can take years or decades in narrative time.
And that's even with the simple AI girl in game works.
Real-world Ling'Er seems even harder to woo.
She has a wealth of experiences and knows more than Lin Qianxuan.
Trying to impress her will just be more challenging.
