Crossing the Ark, I was picked up by Penguin Logistics at the beginning

After a wild drifting operation in Texas, Mo Yu placed the box in his hand heavily on the solid wooden table of the Emperor, making a heavy muffled sound, meeting the deadline of 5 p.m.

"dong."

"Penguin Logistics, mission accomplished——"

The emperor just glanced at Mo Yu, who looked tired. His large sunglasses covered his face, so Mo Yu could not see his expression.

"Looks like you did a good job, newbie." The emperor tried to pat Mo Yu's shoulder with his penguin fin to show encouragement, but then found that he seemed out of reach, so he had to withdraw his hand in disappointment. "Didn't you encounter any trouble?"

"We encountered some blind bikers, but Texas and I took care of them." Mo Yu felt somewhat relieved when he recalled his first actual combat, where he only said one sentence to knock down several people who wanted to rob his goods. "That's right, the car was turned off and left at the scene, and Texas and I rode a motorcycle back."

"Oh, that's great. At least they didn't damage my beloved vinyl." The emperor nodded, and then tore open the box on the table with his hands. "We'll call a tow truck to tow the car back. Of course, the towing fee will be paid from your salary."

Inside are neatly stacked vinyl records.

"Uh..." Mo Yu was stunned. So this is the valuable item?

He couldn't understand. If the bikers really stole the box of vinyl records, he didn't know if they had the artistic talent to appreciate it. Maybe they would just sell it on the black market. But Mo Yu knew that if the box of vinyl records was not taken back, the emperor in front of him would definitely make some indescribable... penguin screams.

After taking a look at the emperor who was eager to start enjoying the new music, Mo Yu consciously left the emperor's office.

[Side quest completed, rewarded with Texas favorability, Penguin Logistics reputation distributed]

Listening to the prompt sound in his mind, Mo Yu did not feel any changes in himself. After all, this was not something tangible like a number, and there was nothing that could be reflected intuitively.

"How did it feel?" Texas stood by the door and handed Mo Yu a can of coffee at the right time. "Your first time."

"It's a bit too exciting." Mo Yu took the can of coffee from Texas and said, "Thank you."

"This is just a minor incident." Texas said calmly, "Longmen has its own rules. They won't go too far."

"I mean your driving skills." Mo Yu smiled. "It's really exciting."

......

The increase in favorability and reputation did not bring any changes to Mo Yu's body, but more changes occurred in his life.

Mo Yu found that the employees of Penguin Logistics would take the initiative to come and talk to him. Although there was not much to talk about, many people were friendly to him and did not act like a senior.

Croissant and Angelica would occasionally take the initiative to look him up for a chat or get-together. Although the latter was more interested in trying to sell Mo Yu her unsellable gadgets, Mo Yu could truly feel that the distance between them seemed to be getting closer.

The one who has seen the biggest change is Miss Texas, whose favorability and reputation have both increased.

Just like it is now.

Looking at Texas who was holding a cup of coffee and sipping hot air in front of him, Mo Yu was a little at a loss.

Originally, today was going to be a training session like any other day, but after the training, Texas stopped him and extended an invitation to him.

"Would you like to have a cup of coffee together? It's my treat."

Although he didn't know why Texas would suddenly invite him like this, Mo Yu naturally would not refuse the kindness from Texas.

The location was simply the cafe in the Penguin Logistics canteen, but it must be said that the supporting facilities of the Emperor's manor were top-notch. The soft and warm lights and soothing music in the cafe made Mo Yu feel like he and Texas were a couple on a date in a high-end cafe in the city of Longmen.

If Texas, who was sitting in front of him, hadn't said a word, just sipped his coffee and looked out the window.

Texas was still dressed smartly today. She did not wear the Penguin Logistics uniform she wore during the mission. She just put on a neat light-colored jacket over her sportswear, looking like a cool sporty girl. Her long dark blue hair was neatly draped behind her head. Her face was slightly flushed because of the warmth of the coffee. Her ten slender white fingers held the coffee cup in her hand and she was sipping it in small sips.

Mo Yu looked at Texas who remained silent and fell into deep thought. This might be the first time in more than 20 years that he was invited out by the girl he liked.

If this was a date invitation from Texas, then Mo Yu would naturally face the common difficulties in a date.

“How to find a topic!”

When he was in school, although he was not the talkative type, he could still talk to girls. But ever since he became addicted to the two-dimensional world, his social skills have plummeted, and now he can't even find topics to talk about.

Or maybe it was because of the nervousness in front of the person he liked. He obviously had a lot to say to Texas, but when the latter actually invited him to have coffee together and sat in front of him, everything Mo Yu wanted to say seemed to be stuck in his trachea and he couldn't say a word.

I could only stare at Texas' profile in a daze, without even touching the coffee in the cup.

Under the warm lights in the coffee shop, Texas's expression didn't seem as cold as usual. Even the lines of his profile had a soft texture, which made Mo Yu stunned for a moment.

"Why do you like me?" Texas asked in a light tone, his eyes not looking at Mo Yu in front of him, but looking outside the glass window of the cafe.

[Because Texas looks good, click on my XP!]

【Because Texas is my wife! 】

【I have liked Texas since 08! 】

Listening to the options popping up one after another in his mind, Mo Yu remained calm on the surface, but in his heart he had already cursed the system three hundred times.

Is this option yours?

"Can I answer this myself? None of your answers are reliable."

【Can】

Surprisingly, this time the system did not force Mo Yu to make a choice among the options it gave, but instead gave the choice to Mo Yu himself.

"Do you want to hear the truth or lies?"

"The truth." Texas withdrew his gaze from the window, and his bright light yellow eyes stared at Mo Yu, not moving away. "That's why I invited you out tonight."

"I just want to hear your answer, a real answer without deception."
