Chapter 30 Game Difficulty Selection
"childish……"

Victoria looked down at the low wall at her feet and muttered softly.

Wow, you still hold a grudge.

Li Xiaoen sighed inwardly and stopped teasing the little girl. "Beautiful Princess, please choose your difficulty level and rescue the prince who was kidnapped by the boss and imprisoned at the end!"

"What kind of game is it, saving the prince?"

Victoria was immediately amused and looked over at him sideways.

"Well...it's Super Mario. Since you're the princess, the one you save is the prince."

Li Xiaoen pondered for a moment and replied with a smile, "Do you want something more exciting or more stable?"

"What's the difference?"

It was just a simple game, but Victoria was a little curious when she saw Li Xiaoen making it so mysterious.

"It's exciting, that's it."

As he spoke, Li Xiaoen held Victoria's hand and shook it up and down, which startled her so much that she staggered and was about to fall down. Li Xiaoen quickly pulled her back.

"How's it going? Do you like it?"

As Victoria gasped for breath, Li Xiaoen asked with a smile, "As for the stable ones, I don't need to tell you, right?"

Victoria turned her head and gave Li Xiaoen a look, then tilted her head slightly and pondered for a moment. Then she turned around with excitement in her eyes.

"Let's do something exciting first!"

Li Xiaoen was surprised that Victoria, who looked quiet and well-mannered, was so fun to play. He had originally introduced the two difficulty levels just to make her feel more involved, but he didn't expect that she would actually choose.

"Brave Princess, are you ready for the next adventure?"

"Ready!"

Victoria nodded solemnly.

"Then... the challenge begins!"

As the words fell, Li Xiaoen swayed the hand that was holding Victoria up and down, causing her body to sway from side to side, and quickly used his other hand to quickly regain his balance.

"Could it be that the princess who went out on an adventure fell off a cliff just as she stepped out of the door? Did her adventure end before it even began?"

Li Xiaoen lowered his voice and temporarily became the live commentator of the game, but was immediately refuted by Victoria.

"No, don't bother me with your nonsense!"

Victoria turned around and glared at him in dissatisfaction, "I haven't fallen yet..."

"Alright, alright, how dare a little player challenge the planner?"

Li Xiaoen said slowly, "Increase the difficulty... Increase..."

As he spoke, the palm of his hand holding Victoria's little hand shook even more violently.

"Hehe... Sean, you... you shouldn't do this..."

The sudden change made Victoria lose her balance again. She cried and laughed repeatedly, and said quickly, "I can't leave if you are like this. The road to adventure has been blocked by the plan..."

Li Xiaoen smiled and said, "Apologize."

"you……"

Victoria's eyes widened at this, and she pouted, "I didn't say anything wrong, why should I apologize?"

"How dare you, a little player, be so unrepentant..."

Li Xiaoen remained unmoved and continued to mutter. Halfway through his words, as expected, Victoria immediately gave in.

"I was wrong, I was wrong, Mr. Planner, I apologize..."

"Okay, okay, considering your sincere repentance, Princess, I will forgive you."

Why do you call yourself a god again?
Victoria turned her head and glared, but before Li Xiaoen's gaze fell on her, she quickly shifted her gaze back to the low wall at her feet.

Perhaps it was her natural sense of balance, but after the first few meters of adjustment, Victoria's movements became as steady as a rock, which frustrates Li Xiaoen, who is accompanying her. Li Xiaoen raised an eyebrow at Victoria's teasing, "I'm better than you!" look.

"How about increasing the difficulty?"

"Is there any other difficulty?" Victoria looked at Li Xiaoen with a confident smile on her face.

"Alright!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Xiaoen took Victoria's hand and pulled it down suddenly with greater force.

"Ah……"

Victoria screamed, staggered, and shook her other arm vigorously before slowly adjusting herself.

"Is this your new difficulty?"

"Ha ha……"

Li Xiaoen chuckled, "Congratulations, Princess, for unlocking the Hell difficulty level. Every five steps, I'll hold your hand and apply force in four clockwise directions. I wish you good luck."

"Clockwise, after five steps, does that mean exerting force forward?"

Victoria asked after pondering for a moment.

"Yes, Your Highness Princess."

"I see."

Victoria didn't say anything else, just took a deep breath, raised her legs again and walked forward carefully.

In the fifth step, Li Xiaoen timely transferred the force of his palm from downward to forward, as if he had anticipated it. Victoria leaned back in advance, but was still deprived of her balance by the sudden change of force from that hand, and her whole body fell forward.

"careful!"

Li Xiaoen's heart trembled, and he quickly took a big step forward, stretched out his other arm and hugged Victoria, who was about to fall to the ground.

"..."

Victoria's body tensed up again. For the first time in her life, she felt a man's breath so closely. She couldn't even say she was repulsed. She curled her hands in front of her, her mind blank.

Victoria is tall and not skinny. She has flesh where it counts. Li Xiaoen, who was anxious to hug her, was a little uncomfortable at first and was so scared that he held her very tightly. But after getting used to her, he felt much more relaxed.

He looked down at Victoria, who was in a dazed state in his arms, and couldn't help laughing.

"Your Highness, you should feel lucky." Li Xiaoen's voice sounded a little cocky.

"What...what are you thankful for?"

Victoria looked up at Li Xiaoen. The young man had sharp features and a handsome face that could be said to be unparalleled in the world. She suddenly remembered the actual game that Li Xiaoen had said before.

Aren't most real games about a knight saving a princess, and the two finally getting married?

Li Xiaoen had no idea what Victoria was thinking. He raised his chin to indicate the location of her feet.

"Thanks to me, your Creator, you haven't fallen off the cliff yet, Princess."

"..."

I helped you cheat, and your health was stuck, why didn't you say thank you?
Li Xiaoen was confused, but when he saw Victoria lower her head and fell silent, he didn't dare to say it out loud.

He has a high IQ and was admitted to Princeton University. His EQ is not low either, and he can still understand the atmosphere.

"Next, can you just hold my hand and walk on?"

After helping Victoria to her feet, Li Xiaoen heard her soft request.

"okay."

Under the cover of night, the dim lights and the cover of tree branches and leaves cut the path into intermittent bands of light or dark. Victoria stood on the low wall, with her other hand raised horizontally to maintain balance. Li Xiaoen held her hand tightly to keep a stable position.

Neither of them spoke, holding each other's hands, walking through the light and through the darkness.

In a corner not far away, a mobile phone was held high, quietly recording everything.
