Girl, you form the head.

Chapter 1 If you wish

"So, are you willing to merge with me?"

At the corner café, the woman stared in astonishment at the young man who had asked the question. Realizing he wasn't joking, she stood up angrily: "You're crazy!"

Then he turned around and left, but halfway there he turned back again, still very upset, and splashed the coffee he hadn't finished drinking onto the young man's collar.

"You think you can possess me with just a cup of coffee!" she said, throwing down the words, "Dream on!"

Watching the woman walk out of the coffee shop, the young man Bai Chi silently removed the coffee-stained cloth from his chest.

Luckily, he was prepared, otherwise his clothes would have gotten dirty.

"Why can't it be?" Bai Chi sighed. "I was already being very sincere."

Bai Chi believed he had been sincere enough, having spent half a day chatting with the woman about her favorite celebrities, cursing her clueless boss, and expressing his financial strength.

No matter how you look at it, I am very sincere.

So why are these women unwilling?
It's just a fusion, nothing serious.

He didn't quite understand.

"Hey buddy," the coffee shop owner said, approaching him. He'd been watching for a while. "You failed again."

"Yes." Bai Chi nodded slightly. "Please help me pack up. I'm about to meet the next person. The next one should be fine."

"Uh."

The coffee shop owner scratched his head. Although he was happy to continue making money off Bai Chi, after all, the other man had stayed there for three days in a row, met countless women, and ordered countless cups of coffee, almost single-handedly supporting the turnover of his small shop, the coffee shop owner was also reluctant to see Bai Chi continue to fail like this.

"Young man, forgive my bluntness, but if you don't change your approach, meeting you again won't make a difference." The coffee shop owner decided to teach this stubborn guy a lesson. "You need to take it slow."

"Take your time?"

“Yes, buddy.” The coffee shop owner nodded repeatedly and began to subtly impart his life experience, “Although reaching the destination is indeed a very tempting thing, the process before reaching the destination is indispensable.”

Could you explain it more clearly?

"Of course." The boss sat down opposite Bai Chi. "When it comes to pursuing a woman, it's all about taking things step by step."

“I’m already taking it step by step.”

The boss couldn't deny this point. Over the past three days, he had personally witnessed Bai Chi go from directly inviting the other party to merge at the beginning to later learning to ramble on about a bunch of irrelevant things before getting straight to the point.

“That’s not enough,” the boss said. “If you want to have someone’s body, you first have to have their heart, and that takes time.”

"But I don't want their hearts, I only want their bodies."

"Uh." The boss wiped his sweat, thinking to himself that this guy was really blunt to a certain extent. "I know that many men think like this. But for many women, it is true that the heart is more important than the body."

“Alright,” Bai Chi readily agreed. “Then what should I do?”

"First, you have to become friends," the boss patiently explained. "You have to become the kind of friends you can talk to about anything. During this process, you need to cater to their interests... then do this... then do that... and finally, that's how I did it..."

The boss talked on and on, and Bai Chi listened attentively. After he finished, he asked, "So how long will this process take?"

"If all goes well, a year should be enough."

"A year?" Bai Chi shook his head. "That won't do, it's too long."

"Well, a year is a bit long. Normally, half a year should be about right."

Bai Chi still replied, "It's been too long."

"...Then three months?" The boss held up three fingers, then quickly withdrew two. "If that's not possible, one month will do. If things go quickly, one month will be enough."

But to his surprise, Bai Chi still shook his head: "No, it's been too long."

"This is still a long time? How long do you want it to last?"

"About an hour."

The boss was stunned: "One hour?"

"Any questions?"

"I don't understand, why are you in such a rush?"

Bai Chi replied seriously, "Because once I've dealt with one, I still need to find the next one."

Boss: "..." Seeing the boss walk away with an expression that said "this kid is unreasonable", Bai Chi couldn't help but shake his head.

Honestly, after listening to all that nonsense, it was completely useless.

It's just a matter of finding a fusion partner, is it really that difficult?

He looked up at the spot where the woman had been sitting, and a line of small print, invisible to others, appeared on his iris: "No fusion material detected, unable to transform into Dual Knight."

Yes, incandescent bulbs are "special beings".

In this world, the number of people with special abilities is not large, but it is not small either; there is probably one in every 10,000 people.

Bai Chi can be considered the most extraordinary of all, because his extraordinary ability requires the cooperation of others with extraordinary abilities to be accomplished.

Simply put, he needs to merge with other special individuals to gain special powers.

This is why he has been searching for "fusion material," and the women he has met in the past few days are all special individuals.

Unfortunately, so far no one has been willing to try with him. Basically, as soon as they hear the words "Let's merge," they start throwing coffee at him.

During this time, Bai Chi also reflected on himself, thinking that the term "fusion" might be too straightforward, so he tried to change the wording.

Unfortunately, the results were not very good.

It seems that for people with special abilities, rashly coming into contact with the special abilities of others is indeed a very sensitive matter.

Incandescence led to this conclusion.

Forget it, let's go back now.

Bai Chi temporarily abandoned the idea of ​​meeting new people, paid the bill, and got up to leave. The coffee shop owner watched his retreating figure, shaking his head repeatedly: "There's something wrong with you. It's a miracle if someone like you can find a partner."

……

Soon, Bai Chi returned to his place of residence—Happiness Alley.

It's called Happiness Alley, but it's not actually that happy, because almost everyone living here is so poor they're barely able to afford food. It's also not a small place; thousands of dilapidated houses are crammed together, and the worm-like, winding roads are enough to deter outsiders.

Bai Chi's choice to live here was simple: the rent was low enough, and he wasn't picky about the environment; all he needed was a bed.

Although there were some thugs and thieves around, most of them dared not mess with him because of his identity as a police officer and his not-so-friendly methods.

Bai Chi returned to his house and took out his key to go inside.

He has to work overtime tonight, so he should get some sleep early.

But just then, he heard a rustling sound coming from the nearby pile of garbage.

It seems there is someone there.

Bai Chi raised an eyebrow.

It's perfectly normal to find people in the garbage dumps of the slums; they're either scavengers rummaging through things or petty thugs who've had their arms and legs broken and left there.

If it's the former, there's no need to worry. But if it's the latter, he still needs to go and check on it, since he is a policeman after all.

So Bai Chi went straight there.

But to his surprise, this was neither a scavenger nor a petty thug.

Instead, she was a black-haired girl covered in wounds and with strange markings on her body.

She was like a dying cat, curled up alone in the garbage heap, only raising her head after hearing the noise, her dark eyes fixed on Bai Chi.

His eyes held fear, a yearning for life, and many other indescribable emotions.

Neither of them spoke; they simply gazed at each other in silence.

After an unknown amount of time, the girl finally collapsed and whispered, "Can you save me?"

"of course can."

Bai Chi looked at the "Fusion material detected" message on his eyes and nodded slightly.

"If you're willing to merge with me."
