People are in Star Iron; who says they're just NPCs?

"It's getting late, you need to go back to the real world. The antimatter legion's attack should be imminent." Lin Li gently ruffled her soft pink hair.

The Black Tower space station is located in space, where there is no strict distinction between day and night. It uses the universal time system, which is one hour.

"Mmm!" Estella recovered from her excitement, feeling a little reluctant to leave. Stargazing with Lin Li brought her a long-lost sense of ease.

Here, she doesn't have to deal with the complicated interpersonal relationships among the staff, and there's no tedious work. These few hours are a rare time of relaxation for her.

Noticing the subtle change in her emotions, Lin Li ruffled her hair again: "Go ahead and get busy. Come back and teach me when you're done. See you tomorrow!"

Okay, see you tomorrow!

In the real world, Estella awakens to the simultaneous warning from the defense officer on duty: The antimatter army has arrived!

Thanks to the intelligence provided by Lin Li beforehand, the space station was well prepared, and the antimatter legion's attack was blocked from the start.

In the NPC world, Lin Li lay leisurely in bed, watching this real interstellar war through [Perspective Sharing]. It was his first time witnessing such an interstellar battle, and the scenes were far more spectacular than any science fiction movie he had ever seen before!

From Estella's perspective, he truly felt like he was there. The battle was intense, and the passing Star Train, having received the news, also came to provide support.

The antimatter legion was indeed incredibly powerful, but the space station was well-prepared. The Black Tower itself also descended, its consciousness controlling the puppets and overseeing the overall situation, with everything under the space station's control.

The antimatter legion's phantoms couldn't even break through the space station's defenses and enter its compartments. The phantoms couldn't get in, but some had already sneaked in.

"Tsk, the people at Black Tower Space Station aren't bad. The antimatter legion couldn't even break through their defenses?"

The speaker was a petite girl with silver hair tied back with blue highlights at the ends, adorned with cute hair accessories, and wearing goggles on her forehead.

The girl walked with a casual and light step, wearing tight hot pants that revealed her fair and slender legs. She wore leg rings on her thighs and fishnet socks on her calves.

While chewing gum, she hacked into the space station's system with her computer. The heavily guarded space station was like an empty place to her.

Something definitely doesn't seem right. The space station seems to have been prepared all along; did they know in advance that the antimatter legion was coming?

The one who answered was an elegant woman with purple hair and pink eyes. Her figure was alluring and shapely, and a dark coat made her appear even more slender. Her full, long legs were encased in dark pantyhose, paired with dark hot pants, perfectly showcasing her mature and seductive charm.

One of them has a voluptuous figure, while the other is cute and petite; their height difference is adorable.

They were none other than Silver Wolf and Kafka, the Star Core Hunters who infiltrated the space station during the Antimatter Legion's invasion! "Maybe Eriol gave them a script too, who knows!" Silver Wolf said nonchalantly, shoving his shoulder.

"Elliot isn't that kind-hearted. We'd better be careful. That Black Tower lady is no pushover."

"Relax, it's alright. There are still so many antimatter legions outside, she doesn't have time to care about us. OK, it's done!" Silver Wolf tapped his finger lightly, and the door of the containment module opened in response.

"I just checked the space station system, and the star core is stored inside. That Black Tower guy has quite a rich collection!" Silver Wolf clicked his tongue as he and Kafka entered the huge circular tunnel of the containment module.

The Black Tower Space Station was built to house the Black Tower's countless [Anomalies], and the Star Core is one of them. "It's going so smoothly it's almost unsettling! Hurry up, Silver Wolf, I have a bad feeling." The containment module was unusually quiet, and...

There were no guards around, and Kafka frowned slightly.

From the moment she stepped onto the space station, she had a feeling that something was wrong. She hadn't encountered a single person, let alone fought anyone along the way.

"You have moments of unease too? Don't worry, in Elio's script, our operation will go smoothly this time." Silver Wolf seemed unfazed, appearing carefree.

"Found you!" Silver Wolf's fingers, which had been dancing across the keyboard, suddenly stopped as she discovered a dazzling star core.

"Is it that simple? The Genius Club's methods for hiding things are nothing new," Kafka remarked. "Then let's move on to the next step. You prepare the carrier."

"Okay, I'll get it done right away." Silver Wolf's hands didn't stop moving. A stream of data flashed through the void, and a gray-haired girl with her eyes closed slowly appeared from the void as if she had been printed out.

"Your methods are still as amazing as ever." Kafka exclaimed in admiration, sending the star core she had grasped into the girl's body. "Just modifying reality data, a trivial trick." Silver Wolf blew a bubble, completely unconcerned.

Time ticked by, and after the star core merged into the girl's body, she remained still. Kafka waited a while, then exchanged a glance with Silver Wolf: "Why hasn't she woken up?" "I don't know!"

"Did Elio's script mention this kind of situation?" Kaffa reached out and shook the gray-haired girl, but there was still no movement. "No! That shouldn't be the case! Could something have gone wrong?"

Just as the two women were staring at each other, the door behind them suddenly closed.

"Let me see where this little mouse came from, daring to break into the space station's storage room!"

Thanks to Ye Moxie for the razor blade!

Chapter Thirteen: Xingbao Pretending to Sleep

A cute little black tower doll appeared in front of the two.

"The Black Tower?!" Silver Wolf looked incredulous. "Impossible! Elio's script clearly stated that we wouldn't encounter the Black Tower this time!"

Elio's script is wrong? How is that possible?!

Upon realizing this, Silver Wolf and Kafka were immediately filled with shock and disbelief!

The operation, which was originally going smoothly, unexpectedly encountered one setback after another just as it was about to be completed!

"Two little mice barging into someone else's collection room and taking things without permission is very impolite!" Little Black Tower's voice was indifferent and expressionless.

The containment module door opened again, revealing a dense array of guards, a red-haired girl, and a cute pink-haired girl standing ready!

"Never mind that for now, Silver Wolf, we have to get out of here!" Neither of them remained as relaxed as before; their expressions turned serious. After all, with the Star Train and the Black Tower joining forces, no one dared to underestimate them.

"It's working, almost done. What about her?" Silver Wolf's fingers flew across the keyboard as he glanced at the gray-haired girl lying on the ground with her eyes still closed.

"There's no option to take her with you in the script, let's leave her here!" "Okay, all done! Let's go!"

Neither of them intended to waste words with Black Tower. Upon realizing the drastic change in the situation, Silver Wolf reacted instantly. A stream of data flashed by, and the two disappeared from the containment chamber as if their holographic images had been erased.

Watching the two disappear before their eyes, the cute pink-haired girl outside the door felt a pang of regret: "Who are they? We just let them get away like that?" "They're from the Star Core Hunters. They manipulate reality data; it's a very interesting method," the little black tower doll waved its hand. "So what if they got away?"

Please take this person to the medical ward.

After everything that's happened, the gray-haired girl is still lying unconscious on the ground, motionless. "And who is this person? Isn't he an employee of your space station?"

“In March, saving lives is the priority. Let’s get her to the medical ward first. Ms. Black Tower will explain the whole story to us,” said the red-haired Himeko.

NPC world.

Lin Li held the gray-haired girl Xingbao in one arm and Aista in the other, enjoying the spectacular scene of the interstellar war through Aista's [perspective sharing], feeling quite content.

The battle lasted for half an hour, after which the antimatter legion was routed by the space station's artillery fire and began to flee.

Lin Li got bored and exited the [Perspective Sharing] feature to check her phone, where she noticed that Xingbao's character card was flashing.

[Member: Xing] [Age: 18+]

[Affiliation: None] [Status: Bonded] [Bond Level: 5]

[Available Functions: None] Hmm?!

Lin Li glanced subconsciously at the gray-haired girl in his arms; her eyes were closed, as if she were fast asleep.

The girl had a delicate and pretty face with a slightly pointed chin. She was originally wearing a sweatshirt with a dark trench coat, but Lin Li felt that it was too obscuring of her good figure, so she changed into a cute printed T-shirt.

This way, Lin Li could appreciate her exquisite and beautiful figure.

Lin Li checked Xingbao's status in her chat window, and a slight smile appeared on her lips: [Xing (pretending to be asleep)]

Judging from the character card and information panel, Xingbao had been here for several minutes and was pretending to be asleep with her eyes closed! This development was slightly unexpected by Lin Li.

When he told Estelle that the antimatter army was about to attack the space station, he made a condition.

That means letting the Black Tower hold back, handing over its collection of star cores to the Star Core Hunters for disposal, and then having the star cores sent into the Star Treasure's body before the Black Tower intervenes.

Grabbing people is fine, whatever.

Lin Li's goal was to ensure that the Star Core Energy was successfully obtained by Star Treasure, because Star Treasure was also an important part of his subsequent plans.

However, he didn't expect that Xingbao would be the second girl to enter the NPC world. But since she was already here, pretending to be asleep wouldn't work!

Lin Li pretended not to notice her feigning sleep, released Estella from her NPC-like state, leaving Xingbao alone. Then—

Xing was confused. The moment she woke up, she found herself in a strange room, being held by a strange man. And she seemed to have amnesia!

She only remembered her name was Xing, and a woman named Kafka; everything else was completely forgotten.

Although she had amnesia, she still had basic common sense and her intelligence was not affected, so she calmed down after a brief period of confusion.

Lying in Lin Li's arms, she didn't struggle or question him immediately, but instead chose to pretend to be asleep and observe the situation. Losing her memory and rashly getting into a conflict with someone in an unfamiliar environment was not a wise choice.

Of course, another reason was that Lin Li's embrace was warm and comfortable, giving her a strange sense of intimacy.

This doesn't mean Lin Li has any succubus constitution, but rather that Xingbao, who has lost her memory, has a natural affinity for the first person she sees upon waking up.

It's similar to how a newborn animal might mistake the first creature it sees for its mother. She wouldn't necessarily see Lin Li as her father, but it's normal to feel a little close to him.

There's a saying that goes, "You can't wake someone who's pretending to be asleep." Lin Li didn't believe in that; he wanted to see how long Xingbao could keep up the act.

His hand wrapped around Xingbao's waist, and with a gentle slide, it slipped under the hem of her T-shirt.

The girl's skin was smooth and fair, truly deserving of the description "skin like solidified cream," and its delicate texture made Lin Li unable to put it down. His fingers gently caressed her, first her slender waist, then her flat stomach, and finally moving upwards step by step.

Lin Li's movements were gentle and slow, while her eyes were fixed on Xing Bao's expression, watching to see how long she could hold back. Xing Bao was having a hard time!

Lin Li's fingertips seemed to carry an electric current; each light touch sent a tingling, electric-like sensation through her. The numbing, tingling feeling struck her very soul.

She felt her body temperature rise sharply, giving her serene face a faint pink blush. The girl's long eyelashes fluttered, clearly indicating she was starting to feel restless.

When Lin Li's hand continued upwards, it was blocked by two small hills, and he had no choice but to touch them. The girl's body trembled slightly.

The soft, delicate touch traveled through Lin Li's fingers to his mind—it was truly wonderful! Even more wonderful was Xing Bao's strong emotional response.

Lin Li's gaze remained fixed on her, observing Xingbao's changing state from feigning sleep to being in a state of utter confusion and then to panic.

Finally, when Lin Li, after tireless efforts, reached the summit and found the fullest and brightest ruby, the girl could no longer resist and opened her eyes.

Their eyes met, and their gazes locked!

Chapter Fourteen: Xingbao: Did I give it away for nothing?

"You're finally awake."

Lin Li wore a mischievous smile, his gaze meeting Xing Bao's without flinching, as if that restless hand wasn't his. "You...who are you?"

Xingbao opened her eyes with anger. After all, anyone would be angry if someone took liberties with her like that, even touching her chest.

But when faced with Lin Li's open and honest gaze, Xingbao was momentarily unable to lash out.

It wasn't that Lin Li's fierce gaze scared Xingbao, but rather that he was too calm. He showed no remorse for being caught red-handed taking advantage of someone else; he seemed even more upright than a true gentleman.

Even now, his hands are still gently caressing and kneading her, as if it's perfectly natural for him to be so indecent towards her. Could he be my boyfriend before I lost my memory?

Otherwise, how can you explain him so calmly touching himself all over, and with such skillful technique, as if he were very familiar with his own body?

And the inexplicable sense of familiarity I felt when I first woke up also seems to make sense!

It has to be said that Xingbao has a strong ability to think outside the box, or maybe she reads a lot of melodramatic romance novels. Lin Li would never have imagined that she would have such a misunderstanding.

Lin Li's calm and composed demeanor actually stemmed from his absolute control over this world and his genuine confidence. As for his skillful techniques and familiarity with Xingbao's body, that goes without saying.

On the very first day that Xingbao appeared on the space station in NPC form, Lin Li had already explored countless positions with her, and he knew every inch of her skin like the back of his hand.

But he never expected that in just a few breaths, Xingbao would have imagined a melodramatic love story and even some strange misunderstandings.

Lin Li was surprised that she didn't react strongly. Although he didn't know why, it didn't stop him from pushing his luck. His technique became increasingly exquisite, and the two rabbits changed shapes in his palms.

"Mmm~!" It was as if a jolt of electricity ran through her heart, bringing out a soft moan from the girl.

"Don't do this... I... I don't remember who you are!" Xingbao had never experienced such stimulation before and felt overwhelmed. "Oh, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Lin Li."

Is this a question about your name? The problem is I have amnesia, I don't remember you! "I have amnesia!"

Xingbao was a little annoyed. Even if he was her boyfriend, that was before she lost her memory. Now that she had lost her memory, she couldn't let things continue like this!

“I know you have amnesia, it’s okay.” Lin Li smiled. “From now on, you don’t need to think about the past anymore, and you don’t need to doubt yourself anymore. Just stride towards the future.”

"So could you please take your hand off my chest?" Xingbao rolled her eyes helplessly, getting straight to the point. "Oh, you mean that? Sorry, it's a habit!"

He apologized, but showed no intention of removing his finger. In fact, he even lightly scratched a certain sharp spot with his finger.

Xingbao had intended to break free violently, but before she could even exert any force, the scrape felt like an electric shock, and her breath instantly dissipated. "Ugh~!"

The girl's soft moans were like those of a kitten in heat, delicate, alluring, and captivating.

After she finally caught her breath, it was difficult for her to gather it again, and a new thought popped into Xingbao's mind. He just said he was used to it; could he really be my boyfriend from before I lost my memory?

But he doesn't seem to be thinking straight. Could it be that because I have amnesia, he's also having mental problems due to being too sad?

We two are so pitiful!

Xingbao's thoughts were still wandering; she had already imagined a tragic story of a girlfriend suffering from amnesia, and a boy heartbroken and mentally unstable. Thinking of this, Xingbao temporarily abandoned the idea of ​​pushing him away, silently shrinking into Lin Li's arms, exuding an indescribable obedience and cuteness. Mainly, under Lin Li's superb skills, even if she wanted to struggle, she was almost too weak to continue.

In Lin Li's eyes, the girl's status bar changed from "angry" to "suspicious" to "sympathetic" and finally to "silently enjoying".

No, how come you're enjoying it?

Lin Li's hand paused involuntarily. He was quite curious about what kind of mental journey Xingbao had gone through in her little head to go from "angry outburst" to "silent enjoyment".

But since you're already enjoying it, it wouldn't be right if I didn't show off my real skills!

Lin Li's other hand was always on Xing Bao's waist. At this moment, he gently hooked his pinky finger and untied the belt around her waist.
