Romance Game: Embrace of the Inhuman

Chapter 187: Complete Strategy Prepare for Speedrun


As Zhang Juan's movements came to a halt, Lin Qianxuan seized the opportunity to counterattack, attempting to disrupt Zhang Juan's attack rhythm.

[Lin Qianxuan (taking out the hairpin): The hairpin you gave me before, I've always cherished it.....]

This was a lie; in fact, it was the old dean who cherished these objects for Lin Qianxuan, thinking he might one day return for a reminiscence.

The game character cautiously took out the somewhat faded green hairpin.

The cheap plastic creation was full of signs of age.

Lin Qianxuan tried to use a childhood approach to disrupt Zhang Juan's rhythm.

Who would have thought that the hairpin's appearance would cause Zhang Juan to lose control?

Just halfway through the game character's dialogue, Zhang Juan suddenly hugged him and started kissing aggressively. Lin Qianxuan stared blankly at the screen, watching the game character holding the green hairpin being manhandled by Zhang Juan, his emotions becoming complicated.

[Your gesture of cherishing a dear friend's gift moved her deeply.]

[Zhang Juan's current String of Destiny connection rate: 81%.]

Before long, Zhang Juan was sitting on the game character, holding his head with both hands, looking at him earnestly.

[Zhang Juan (looking at you): I want you!]

Isn't this a bit too straightforward?

[Lin Qianxuan (nodding): Alright!]

.....

After Lin Qianxuan typed that word, he let the game character act on his own.

In the sea of flowers, the two figures intertwined, yet Lin Qianxuan felt conflicted.

Wasn't he supposed to be the one taking the initiative in this romantic pursuit?

But now, the situation seemed to have reversed?

However, on reflection, it was indeed hard for a leading lady to show a demure side.

After all, she had gone through such a long life and was long used to being in a high position, habitually controlling everything.

Even if she initially lost her initiative due to a combo attack, she would want to seize control once she regained her senses slightly.

[After many years apart, you appeared like a prince from a fairy tale, coming to her aid in distress and proposing to her, materializing the lover she had fantasized about. Zhang Juan's heart and spirit wavered, feeling as if caught in an illusion, she was deeply moved and withheld nothing from you.]

[Zhang Juan's current String of Destiny connection rate: 100%.]

.....

[Note: All Sound Talismans collected, score [Evolutionary Concerto] compiled, can be played through the String of Destiny.]

[Evolutionary Concerto: No matter the environment, the adaptation rate increases by 1% per minute consistently, and the strength of the evolving superpower increases by 1000% (Note: Life will always find a way, regardless of the environment.)]

.....

The Evolutionary Concerto resonated, and the adaptability of the game character began to increase steadily.

Lin Qianxuan never thought that doing such a thing could evolve into a superpower.

Speaking of which, did he still need to enhance this ability?

Lin Qianxuan entered a command to speed up the story progression.

After a scene, the two in the flower sea were whispering sweet nothings to each other.

[Zhang Juan (dazed): Am I dreaming?]

[Lin Qianxuan (shaking head): No.]

[Zhang Juan (pinching your face): It all feels a bit bizarre.....]

[Lin Qianxuan (smiling): Isn't everything in this world a little strange?]

[Zhang Juan (laughing): Indeed.]

During the conversation, Lin Qianxuan received a prompt.

[Over the long period, you have adapted to the current environment, and your Evolutionary Body has undergone a new evolution.....]

[Please choose one of the following three superpowers to load into the Evolutionary Body.]

[Perception Granting (Tier Two): You can bestow your perception on others. (Abandon evolution to gain Tier Two Superpower Origin *122.)]

[Genetic Activity Enhancement (Tier Two): Your genetic activity is enhanced, enabling you to pass down genes more easily through reproductive behavior. (Abandon evolution to gain Tier Two Superpower Origin *141.)]

[Nurturance (Tier Three): You can simulate an organ within your body for nurturing and thereby reproduce a next generation carrying your genes. (Abandon evolution to gain Tier Three Superpower Origin *115.)]

....

Lin Qianxuan didn't expect to actually develop such a superpower.

If it were the past when only Chen Long'Er was his girlfriend, Lin Qianxuan felt having a child wouldn't matter.

But now it's different.

He struggles to manage three girlfriends already, adding a child to that?

No, really, no more!

So Lin Qianxuan decisively chose the first option.

However, speaking of which, the third superpower gave Lin Qianxuan a new perspective.

If such similar superpowers were intensely strengthened, could it be a path to overwhelming forces?

But on careful consideration, it seemed rather limited, for real overwhelming forces it might be better to find a way to create a clone-type superpower.

After selecting the superpower, Lin Qianxuan still remembered the main storyline.

This time, he planned to play the role of a doctor, having the game character skip to directly heal Zhang Juan.

[Lin Qianxuan (looking at Zhang Juan): Sister Juan, is your illness improving?]

[Zhang Juan (nodding, holding your face): Much better, your elixir works well, I can endure much longer now, and I want to take this time to bear you a child.]

Saying this, Zhang Juan was ready for another round!

Lin Qianxuan felt slightly speechless and quickly started typing to stop her.

[Lin Qianxuan (stopping Zhang Juan): No rush on that, I want to ask, how much has your condition improved? Perhaps I can try to heal you completely.]

[Zhang Juan (displeased): In any case, I won't die within one or two years.]

[Lin Qianxuan (serious): Sister Juan, I actually have an ability.....]

....

Using the same trick again, Lin Qianxuan quickly repeated that explanation to Zhang Juan.

Zhang Juan's expression was slightly complicated.

[Zhang Juan (holding you, a bit saddened): So you were so good to me just to get my talent? Still, it's better than dying and leaving nothing behind.....]

[Lin Qianxuan (rolled his eyes): Do you think that's possible? Have I really been planning this since childhood?]

To be fair, even with Chen Long'Er, Lin Qianxuan initially got into a relationship with her because he was aiming to potentially step into the Extraordinary World.

But Zhang Juan was truly different.

Lin Qianxuan genuinely wanted to change her destiny, playing the game with the thought of rescuing her as the main focus.

[Zhang Juan (smiling, holding you a bit tighter): That might be the case!]

[Lin Qianxuan (seriously): I plan to try evolving a powerful healing superpower to completely cure your gene conflict.]

[Zhang Juan (looking at you): Tell me your current situation, I should be able to help.]

Without hesitation, Lin Qianxuan typed out the effects of the Sound Talisman and the functions of the Sound of Destiny.

Zhang Juan listened, and her expression changed several times.

[Zhang Juan (shocked): Clearly, your ability was copied from me, but the way you describe it makes my talent feel like a fake version.]

Lin Qianxuan couldn't explain this issue either.

If he had to say something, it would be the great power of destiny.

[Lin Qianxuan (smiling): Then from now on, I'm the original version.]

[Zhang Juan (suddenly serious, looking at you intently): Have you ever used your abilities on others before?]

If asked this before, the old Lin Qianxuan would have definitely felt embarrassed.

But now, with his thick skin, he would only keep smiling.

[Lin Qianxuan (smiling): Guess.]

Though not an answer, this response was as good as one.

[Zhang Juan (a little angry, lightly biting your shoulder): Damn it! You weren't like this before, not so thick-skinned and bold, you used to be scared of bugs landing on you.....]

[Lin Qianxuan (comforting): Alright, don't be angry, at the time, I was also forced by circumstances, if there had been a better choice, I wouldn't have done it.]

[Zhang Juan (looking at you): Was I forced by circumstances too?]

[Lin Qianxuan (shaking his head): You are the only exception.]

[Zhang Juan (delighted): So your true love is for me, and with others, it's just a game.]

[Lin Qianxuan (shaking his head): Not really, as long as they love me, I will love them too.]

Neither indifferent nor deeply emotional.

This was the personality formed by Lin Qianxuan's survival environment since childhood.

He couldn't invest too much emotion in any one person or thing, but he also wouldn't ignore others' kindness to him.

If you're good to me, I'll be good to you, if you're not, I won't be either.

He treated everyone as though they were guests.

[Zhang Juan (frowning): How many have fallen into your hands before me?]

[Lin Qianxuan (smiling): Does that question really matter?]

[Zhang Juan (biting your shoulder again): Hmph.]

....

The dice were cast, and Zhang Juan wasn't someone who liked to sulk like an innocent young girl.

She accepted reality even faster and more calmly than Chen Long'Er.

After slightly venting her emotions through the game character, she quickly controlled her bit of jealousy.

Lin Qianxuan fast-forwarded the plot, and they both changed clothes and walked out of the Qiankun Space.

There was no resting at Zhang Juan's home, the strategy was completed in a short time.

Lin Qianxuan was racing against time to improve the game character's strength and change everything.

Faced with the huge gap with the final BOSS, he didn't indulge in any hopeful delusions.

Immediately, the game character and Zhang Juan arrived at the previous training ground.

This time, however, it was gradual.

The game character had not yet reached the Dao Realm.

So, a breakthrough was needed first.

This was an extremely easy task for a fully strategized game character.

No need to worry about self-harm repercussions, as long as he doesn't die in an hour, he will gain bonuses.

Using the Eyes of the Muddled Heaven to see future possibilities, the game character forcibly condensed Essence Qi to ignite the True Flame, then slightly injured himself with the Holy Spear.

This scene made Zhang Juan feel quite distressed, clenching her fists tightly.

But she didn't stop him, just watched with a deep gaze, seemingly wanting to remember it all.

It took less than an hour, just five minutes, and the game character's adaptability was full once again.

Three Tier Four superpowers appeared to choose from, one to enhance physique, one to enhance cell healing ability, and one to increase energy utilization efficiency.

Lin Qianxuan chose physique enhancement based on past experience.

The game character's foundation was not yet good, leaking energy everywhere; it needed strengthening a bit so that the True Flame could burn more fiercely and stably.

After choosing, the game character's state stabilized significantly.

Though it was only a Tier Four superpower, the game character now had the complete Sound of Destiny boost, evolving the superpower's strength to ten times its original value, making the effect exceptional.

Lin Qianxuan skipped forward a bit in the story, and seven more minutes passed in the game.

Another superpower selection occurred.

After Lin Qianxuan made the choice, the game character emitted blood-red flames, eyes turned crimson, Dao Patterns appeared on the forehead, receded for a moment, and he once again stepped into the Dao Realm.
