Leader of the Ark Raiders

Shen Cangye stopped, "What?"

"That's—uh, you have to be gentle." Xiao Linguang was in a state of chaos.

comb hair...

Comb your hair!

Isn't that what husbands do for their wives?

Maria's mind wandered wildly.

He offered to brush my hair - and it follows that he's been thinking of me as...

Hey?Hey?

really?

Really really really?

Shen Cangye naturally didn't know what Maria was thinking.

He gently combed her long pale golden hair, and when he encountered knots, he would untie the knots with his hands before combing them down slowly.

"You, at first glance, look like your sister. You don't take care of your hair very much. You can put some conditioner on your hair so that it won't get tangled so easily."

Shen Cangye recalled, what Baijin usually kept in the bathroom, such as hair conditioner, shampoo, cream and hair mask, was so messy that it could fit on a table.

Maria responded blankly, and suddenly discovered a blind spot, "Dr. Shen, did you also comb your sister's hair too? Why do you know this..."

Shen Cangye's hand paused.

This little girl, why is she thinking about things in such a strange way?

He thought of teasing her, and said, "That's right, I also combed Margaret's hair, her hair quality is similar to yours."

"Ah...?" Maria's expression weakened at a speed visible to the naked eye.

what?

...turns out I'm not the only one.

Could it be that he and his sister also...?

Shen Cangye continued: "And Zofia, her hair is very smooth - oh my god, that satin-like feel is really a blessing!"

"Auntie too—wait, what time?" Maria was dumbfounded.

——Aunt actually did too!

So, my aunt didn't let me get close to him, because she was...jealous?

It's over, it's over.

The sky is falling.

Xiao Linguang's ears drooped and turned into a rabbit with lop ears.

"There is also Manna." Shen Cangye said clearly, "I thought that kind of laborer was neglected at first glance, but unexpectedly, tsk tsk tsk... the hair quality is better than Zofia's. It must be I sneaked off to get my hair done during off-duty time."

"—Ah? Uncle Manna!?" The pure little Linguang was completely stunned.

After a full five seconds, she suddenly realized, "Wait, Doctor Shen, is what you said true?"

"Fake." Shen Cangye didn't change his expression.

Maria's mouth opened into an O shape, and it took a while before she said, "You...you lied to me?"

"I'm kidding you." Shen Cangye finally couldn't hold back anymore, "Who would be so free as to comb your family's hair!"

"You hate it!" Maria thumped his chest, "I thought it was true."

Shen Cangye laughed loudly and said, "Hahaha, I can only fool a naive baby like you."

"I don't believe what you say anymore!" Maria angrily picked up a towel and called.

Shen Cangye hurriedly blocked it with his hands, and said with a smile: "I just want to tease you because of your cuteness!"

The tips of Maria's ears were a little red.

The girl flattened her mouth, tied up her blond hair with a bow, and leaned over to hug him with small steps.

"Are you angry?" Shen Cangye looked down at the little Kuranta girl who buried her face in his chest.

Maria said vaguely: "Don't lie to me in the future, I will be sad... Well, this time it doesn't count!"

"Okay, okay, I see." Shen Cangye touched her tail repeatedly, "Hurry up and change your clothes."

"Shall we go to the workshop now?" Maria asked.

Shen Cangye thought for a while and said, "Let's forget about it today."

"Hey?"

"Let's rest today." Shen Cangye said, "You've been tired for so many days, you should combine work and rest. I just saw Kada and Xuezhi rehearsing in the lounge. You can go and join them."

Maria was still hesitating, like a child who hadn't finished her homework, and asked cautiously, "Is it okay?"

"Go." Shen Cangye said gently, "Rest today, go to rehearse well, and I'll talk to you when I come back tonight."

"Are you really meeting my lines? Okay!" Xiao Linguang beamed with joy, "Then I...then I'll go?"

"Ah, I'm going back to my room too, I just gave you this notebook, remember to read it when you come back tonight." Shen Cangye said.

After Maria had changed her clothes, the two left the room one after the other.

"Goodbye, Dr. Shen." Maria was so excited for this rare day of rest, she ran away.

Shen Cangye was about to go to his room.

I saw Maria running back with a thump.

"Did you forget to bring something?" Shen Cangye asked doubtfully.

The youngest daughter of Linguang's family ran up to him and hesitated for a while.

She stretched out her hand and asked cautiously, "One more hug?"

Shen Cangye couldn't help laughing.

Like a child.

He leaned slightly and hugged the soft pony.

Maria suddenly raised her head, kissed him on the cheek, and lightly pecked his lips, then shyly broke away from him and fled.

772. Anti-general army

Days passed day by day, and in the blink of an eye, there were only three days left until the final selection of the forging competition.

However, Maria's mood became more relaxed.

In fact, after knowing what all the additional questions were about in the past, where the difficulty was increased, and after conducting a targeted special training, all the additional questions were not so scary.

After all, they are only simulating forging in the most difficult environment.

If you know it, you know why.

……only.

Maria was still the same as before, using the excuse of "It's almost the finals, I'm so nervous" and using a semi-moral kidnapping method to ask someone to accompany her to do this and that.

"Dr. Shen, Dr. Shen, can you come out and have dinner with me?"

Shen Cangye just finished his work when he received a call.

"Hey, didn't you go to rehearse with Kada and the others today?" Shen Cangye was puzzled.

"Kada and Snow Pheasant went shopping, why don't you come and accompany me! You see, the day after tomorrow is the game, I'm so nervous..."

"Too nervous to walk back to the hotel by yourself?"

"Yes!" The little golden horse answered confidently.

Shen Cangye didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Alright, alright, I'll pick you up."

He arrived in a hurry, but what he saw were two people and a cat.

"Puppet?" Shen Cangye was stunned.

The film singer stared at him for a long time, and said to himself: "Xiaguang asked me if there is a good restaurant in Yassinus, so that's why...?"

"Doctor Shen." Maria ran over to hold his hand, "We rehearsed together just now, Xuezhi and Kada left first, and Mr. Puppet Shadow was left alone, shall we have dinner together?"

"Uh... what's Puppet Shadow thinking?" Shen Cangye said helplessly.

"Yes." The puppet did not realize the seriousness of the matter.

Ah, the kind sister Xiaguang is always so considerate of others.

The three of them walked to the restaurant.

As she walked, Maria said, "Mr. Puppet is the mastermind of this immersive script, and he will also play an NPC in the script, and join us in the show—ah, there are also Miss Nightingale, Doctor Warfarin and Klose, it's a pity that they couldn't come, otherwise it would be a meeting of all the staff~"

"Is the puppet a plan?" Shen Cangye was stunned for a long time before saying, "It's really... really amazing!"

He said in his heart that not long after you escaped from the old castle, you took everyone to play the immersive script of the old castle.

It's really... courageous.

They came to the restaurant Maria had reserved.

This is a relatively well-known Minoan restaurant. The independent arched facade design is very special. It seems to be independent but it is two spaces connected internally. It is said that it symbolizes the twins in Minoan mythology - the goddess of hunting and God of music.

The restaurant is spacious and bright, and the retro statues also add a bit of solemn and mysterious temperament.

Until they sat down, Maria was still talking about their script.

"—This script is an immersive experience script. Our mission as an NPC is to guide players to experience, provide players with side tasks, and help them complete the main task at the same time. Dr. Shen, do you want to come and play? Come and try it once !"

Shen Cangye smiled helplessly, and glanced at Puppet Shadow, "Boss planner, can this be said?"

Puppet Shadow nodded silently, "It's just something at the background level of the game, and it doesn't need to be kept secret."

Shen Cangye said: "Then, Maria, what is your role?"

Xiao Linguang fed Miss Christine a small piece of fruit and said, "Didn't I play it for you that day? I am the devil! Do you like my role?"

Miss Christine seemed very satisfied, she rubbed the Kuranta girl's arm with her paw.

The puppet gave Maria a strange look.

"What about the puppet?" Shen Cangye asked.

At that time, the film assassin was elegantly cutting the steak with a knife and fork, and said softly, "I can be an ally or an enemy, depending on what you said when you saw me."

"Me too!" Maria answered quickly.

Shen Cangye didn't understand, "Devil King, shouldn't you be the bottom boss?"

"No, no, there are many endings in our script." Maria shook her ears and said, "For example, Mr. Puppet Shadow plays the role of assassin, whether he joins your team of heroes, the ending is different! ——Ah, I shouldn't have said this, palm your mouth, Mr. Puppet Shadow, don't blame me."

Classmate Xiao Lu hummed, and said "It's good for you two to have fun chatting, there's no need to deliberately cue me" all over his face.

Seeing that Shen Cangye was interested, Maria was very excited, "For example, you can choose to fight the devil, or you can choose to join the devil's army and become the devil's subordinate."

Shen Cangye just laughed, "Is there no option to recruit the devil king?"

"Huh?" Maria blinked, and was momentarily stopped by the question.

"For example, like the line you told me last time—"

Shen Cangye learned the lines of Xiao Linguang last time, and said:

"High and lonely demon king, when I came to the castle and saw you, I fell in love with you to the bone. Beautiful and lovely demon king, I am willing to be by your side for the rest of my life. Humanity reconciles and becomes mine?"

773. Can Cat Food and Dog Food Eat Each Other?

Shen Cangye said this.

Maria was still in a daze.

Instead, the puppet reacted first.

"Cough, cough, cough." Xiao Lu choked, still choking heavily, and coughed violently.
