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

Lin Li showed no sign of stopping, so he had to find a way to save himself.

The moment she spoke, all eyes at the table turned to Cocolia, except for Lin Li, who remained unmoved. He was indeed highly skilled and daring, showing no fear whatsoever under the watchful eyes of so many.

Although Cocolia didn't have his guts, the psychological stimulation of making small moves under the watchful eyes of others was unparalleled.

A mixture of shame and a strange excitement made the blush on her face even more pronounced.

Everyone else noticed the change in her expression, but no one thought of it that way; they were all curious about what Cocolia was going to say.

"Before the arrival of the train crew in Beloborg, I was bewitched by the Star Core, made many mistakes, and caused many terrible consequences."

I was fortunate to receive Mr. Lin's help, which freed me from the influence of the star core. In the end, everyone worked together to seal the star core, but this does not mean that the mistakes I made in the past have been wiped clean.

"A person who has made a grave mistake is no longer suitable to lead Belloberg. I have decided to relinquish my authority and have Bronya succeed me as High Guardian, guiding Belloberg into a new chapter."

"Lady Cocolia?!" Bronya was utterly shocked. It was obvious that Cocolia hadn't consulted her beforehand about this decision. "I...I'm still inexperienced."

“Bronya, listen to me, everyone has to pay the price for their mistakes, and I am no exception.”

Besides, my thinking is outdated and backward, and I can't compare to you young people. Berloberg is about to usher in a new era of vigorous development, and it needs young people like you who are ambitious and enterprising.

That's settled then. We'll hold the handover ceremony the day after tomorrow!

Cocolia's attitude was firm, but Bronya still hesitated: "Guardian, although you have made mistakes, you have also paid a huge price for the future of Beloberg..."

Her gaze swept over Lin Li, the meaning of which was self-evident.

"Alright, Bronya, I've made up my mind, and I won't change it!" Cocolia's expression changed slightly, and she seemed to tremble. A blush crept onto her beautiful face, as if she were emotionally agitated.

Actually, it was because Lin Li brushed the pearl with his fingertips a few times while talking to her that she was brought to a small climax!

Two chapters released in quick succession! Thank you to readers 926116994 and Xinghe for their monthly tickets and rewards!! Please vote with more monthly tickets!

Chapter 144 Cocolia: I'll face the fate that awaits you.

Fortunately, Cocolia was prepared and tried her best to endure the wonderful feeling that penetrated to her very bones, without revealing any further flaws.

But all of this was seen by Bronya beside her. The girl, with mixed feelings, couldn't help but think to herself, "This is what you call outdated and backward thinking? We young people would never do something like this!"

However, Bronya knew in her heart that Cocolia was not a pleasure-seeking person, and that Lin Li must have been bullying her. This was also the reason why she could forgive Cocolia for her mistake.

Cocolia made a huge sacrifice to make up for her mistakes and for the future of Beloberg, which Bronya saw, but she couldn't tell anyone about this sacrifice.

Her gaze fell on Lin Li again, but she did not refute Cocolia's decision.

The position of High Guardian may be a source of power and status for others, but for Bronya and Cocolia, it is an inescapable responsibility and pressure.

The Guardian has already sacrificed so much for Beloberg, let me share this burden with her. After bringing Cocolia to a small climax, Lin Li stopped, satisfied.

He wiped all the wetness from his fingers onto Cocolia's thighs, which were covered in black stockings, and casually withdrew his left hand. He remained calm and composed under the watchful eyes of so many people.

"The handover of the Great Guardian is an internal affair of Belloberg, and the Star Train will not interfere. We respect Ms. Cocolia's decision, and it is our honor to be able to witness the ceremony. We will be there on time for the handover ceremony the day after tomorrow."

Himeko, after they made their decision, agreed that Dian Dian would attend the handover ceremony as a guest of honor.

"Thank you again to Star Train for your help to Belloberg. Belloberg will always be your friend!" Cocolia raised her glass again to toast, and the celebration banquet ended in a joyful and peaceful atmosphere.

After the banquet ended, Lin Li had used up a considerable amount of time in the real world, so he found a quiet spot and returned to the NPC world. Liu Ying and Xing Bao went shopping together on March 7th.

Himeko, being calm and collected, had little interest in shopping and returned to the Starry Sky Train alone to do her own thing.

Cocolia and Bronya went to the High Guardian's office to discuss the upcoming handover ceremony, the future development direction of Beloberg, and so on.

After all the important matters were discussed, Bronya hesitated for a long time before finally speaking up: "Mother... no, Guardian, I saw what happened at the dinner table today. He actually did such a thing at the banquet. Isn't that too much..."

"Shh! Don't say anything bad about him. Lin Li is all-powerful; he might hear what you say!" Coco Liya made a shrugging gesture.

When Bronya revealed what happened at the dinner table, Cocolia's cheeks flushed slightly. Come to think of it, her black stockings were still torn, and she hadn't had a chance to change them yet!

"Bronya, things aren't as bad as you think. He's really good in that area, and I'm actually... quite happy."

Cocolia couldn't help but feel ashamed when she talked about this topic with her adopted daughter and admitted that she was actually willing to do it. Her beautiful face quickly turned from pink to red.

Bronya really didn't expect to hear those words from Cocolia. Was she really that happy?

"Speaking of which, Lin Li has already saved Belloberg as promised. Bronya, are you... ready? If you're unwilling, I can try to plead for you."

"I...I've already made up my mind, and I won't go back on my word! Tomorrow...tomorrow night, I'll invite him to my place." Although she was extremely ashamed, Bronya had no intention of breaking her promise.

If Lady Cocolia can sacrifice herself, what is this little sacrifice she makes?

Hearing Bronya's answer, Cocolia breathed a sigh of relief. She had actually considered that Bronya might change her mind afterward, and with Himeko's appearance, that was possible.

After Himeko appeared in Belloberg as the train conductor and navigator of the Starry Sky Train, Lin Li noticeably spoke less, and Himeko took the lead in most matters.

This could easily lead Bronya to misunderstand that Lin Li was merely using Lin Li's power as a pretext, and that he didn't actually have much say in the Star Train. Himeko, on the other hand, clearly seemed like an upright and kind girl who wouldn't do something like coercing them into repaying her with her body.

But a woman as worldly-wise as Cocolia could clearly sense that, apart from March 7th, the girls in that pioneering team basically followed Lin Li's lead.

Even March 7th listens to Lin Li quite a bit. Ji Zi is just the leader on the surface. In reality, Lin Li's words carry weight. Ji Zi herself may not even realize this!

This man's abilities are definitely more than what he has shown.

If Bronya changes her mind, she will indeed try to plead for mercy, but she knows in her heart that pleading will most likely be useless and will only cause more trouble.

Fortunately, Bronya had no intention of breaking the contract, so she wasn't caught in a dilemma.

"Hmm... Come directly to my palace tomorrow night, don't go to your residence. Once you take over as the Great Guardian, you'll be moving to Kripper Castle, so it's good for you to get familiar with it sooner."

"This...isn't this a bit inappropriate?" Even Bronya, who was usually as cold as ice, blushed slightly.

She felt uneasy, naturally because it had nothing to do with inheriting the position of High Guardian or the right to reside in Kripper Castle. She wasn't stupid; how could she not understand Cocolia's meaning?

“I...I brought you back from the lower class and raised you, and taught you many things, but I was too cold and strict before, and we lacked the warmth that a normal family should have.”

The biggest mountain that was pressing down on us has now been shattered by him. I hope to make up for it as much as possible. As the person who raised you, I have an obligation to teach you how to face your future. What do you think?

Bronya hesitated; after all, the idea of ​​two people serving each other was utterly absurd, let alone actually doing it.

"Actually... this is for your own good. He's very capable, really very capable. I'm afraid you won't be able to handle him alone, so I can help you share the burden."

Moreover, this was part of his original request; he had said from the beginning that he wanted both of us to be together.

Cocolia blushed more and more as she spoke. Whatever the reason, it was simply unbelievable that she, as the one who raised Bronya, was now trying to persuade her to serve the same man!

No matter how absurd it may seem, things have come to this point and there's no turning back!

"I...I understand!" Bronya blushed and finally agreed to Cocolia's suggestion.

I'll post one chapter now, and the other one should be after midnight. Thanks to Blue Mountain Without Milk Candy for the monthly ticket support, and thanks to Galaxy for the knife!

Asking for a monthly ticket! ! !

Chapter 145 The Side Dish is on the Seventh of March

While Cocolia and Bronya were discussing how to fulfill their agreement, Lin Li had already fallen asleep in the NPC world.

Yesterday's battle was also a test for him, consuming a lot of energy. His physical strength can be instantly restored with the [Recovery] skill, but he needs to deal with the mental pressure on his own.

After all, this was the first time he had personally killed so many living beings, many of which were humanoid.

During the battle, Lin Li was too busy to think about these random things, but after the battle ended and he had some free time, images of himself personally reaping lives flashed through his mind.

Although the Rift Monsters are not human, but rather ferocious and brutal monsters, they also feel pain and will scream and wail when they suffer fatal attacks. This still had a significant impact on Lin Li, who was going to the battlefield for the first time.

Despite the discomfort, Lin Li still managed to shine in battle and kill countless enemies, demonstrating that his willpower and talent are absolutely top-notch!

Therefore, this kind of mental pressure is not a big problem for him. He can adjust himself, and his way of adjusting is to get a good night's sleep!

I slept very soundly, and when I woke up it was already evening.

After waking up, Lin Li felt much more refreshed, and all the images that had been bothering him had disappeared.

Full of energy, Lin Li took out his phone to see who was in the NPC world. He was feeling quite energetic and wanted to burn off some of it.

He had been holding back a lot of energy while teasing Cocolia during the day, since Cocolia had a mini-climax and he hadn't gotten anything else besides a little pleasure from touching her.

There were quite a few girls in the NPC world at night, including Black Tower, Firefly, Star Treasure, Silver Wolf, and Kafka.

However, Lin Li's gaze ultimately fell on another person. March 7th!

This little pink-haired girl has been in the NPC world for quite some time now. Lin Li has tried to take advantage of her a few times, but there hasn't been a suitable opportunity to go further.

Go tease her!

I was just guessing I'd be able to have Cocolia and Bronya's rice bowls tomorrow, so having a little appetizer like March 7th beforehand wouldn't be bad, right? In the NPC world, on the Starry Sky Train, March 7th was daydreaming in his carriage.

Although the Black Tower space station had a room prepared for her, she still preferred to rest on the train.

In the real world, they spent most of the day wandering around Belloborg, having a great time, before returning to Hilva's machine room to sleep, and then collectively entered the NPC world.

It's rare for March 7 to space out; this energetic girl seems to have inexhaustible energy and can always maintain plenty of vitality.

But now, sitting in front of her dressing table, she stares blankly at her delicate face in the mirror, showing no trace of her usual liveliness.

When a vibrant young girl starts to become quiet and melancholic, it's highly likely that she's experiencing puberty and has someone she likes.

This pattern also applies to March 7th; she does indeed have someone she likes. Without a doubt, that person is Lin Li.

March 7's feelings towards Lin Li have always been complicated. When they first met, it was naturally very unpleasant. This perverted guy actually collected nude photos of her and Sister Himeko and used them to threaten her into helping him board the Starry Sky Train.

Not to mention that during this time, he took advantage of her under the guise of punishment, and made a lot of money off her. Just thinking about the scene makes San Yueqi's cheeks burn slightly. It's so shameful!

The most embarrassing thing is that I actually had such a strong reaction at the time, and I even seemed to enjoy it!

March 7 remained wary of Lin Li boarding the Star Train, since Lin Li's use of threats to get on board made it hard not to suspect his motives.

But to her surprise, Lin Li behaved perfectly after getting in the car and did not act recklessly as she had expected.

He was very respectful to Himeko-neechan, not at all like he used to be frivolous. As for himself... well, although he occasionally took advantage of her in small ways, it wasn't too outrageous.

What truly changed March 7's opinion of Lin Li was the Belloberg incident, in which Lin Li was practically the only one handling the situation! He was the one who initially noticed Cocolia's unusual behavior, promptly relocating them and preventing direct conflict or even imprisonment. He then swiftly dealt with Cocolia, uniting sufficient forces to launch a full-scale attack on the Star Core.

Belloberg had been searching for the star's core for thousands of years, but he precisely located and struck it, turning the tide of the battle and eliminating the source of the chaos!

Throughout the entire incident, he seemed to have a third eye, anticipating the enemy's moves and strategizing ahead of time. In particular, he single-handedly dealt with Cocolia, who was controlled by the Star Core. Even now, March 7th still can't figure out how he did it!

No matter what, March 7th knew in her heart that if it weren't for Lin Li, they might still be in the Silver Forbidden Iron Guard's prison trying to escape, or still struggling in the lower districts!

Without him, resolving the Belloberg issue would be several times more difficult!

With his literary and martial talents, he can strategize and control the overall situation, and his martial prowess allows him to traverse realms and slay countless enemies. It's no wonder that such a man, who is both literate and martial, and also young and handsome, would have his heart flutter for March 7th!

The only downside might be that he's a bit of a womanizer.

But since Xingbao and Yingbao are both willing to do that kind of thing with him together, what is there for me to be conflicted about?

The pink-haired girl couldn't help but think of the shocking scene she had witnessed at the NPCs before the final battle, and the alluring charm that Starbaby and Eggbaby exuded at that time, which she would probably never forget for the rest of her life.

If it were me...

"Tsk, what are you daydreaming about? Your face is so red." Lin Li's voice suddenly rang out behind March 7, startling her and making her tense up instantly.

Just as I was having a silly fantasy, the person I was fantasizing about showed up. How embarrassing!

"Could it be that you're thinking about me?" Lin Li pressed against March 7's back and pulled her into his arms.

The pink-haired girl felt enveloped in a warm and pleasant scent, and her stiff body instantly went limp, without even a prick.

Whenever Lin Li hugged March 7, she would always struggle a few times. Today's unusual behavior immediately piqued Lin Li's interest.

He brought up the information panel he hadn't used in a long time and checked March 7's status—[Sweet and Shy] Hmm?!

Has it progressed to this point already? I haven't really been flirting with her much lately, have I?

[Sweet and shy] This state is naturally due to Lin Li's embrace, and March 7's attitude towards Lin Li is self-evident.

It seems the appetizer has served itself up!

Lin Li's lips curled up, and with a slight exertion of his hands, March 7 involuntarily stood up from the stool.

He looked down into the pink-haired girl's eyes, and under her gaze, he kissed her!

The second update is here! Please vote with your monthly tickets!!!

Chapter 146 White Sand Embankment Under the Shade of Green Willows

This wasn't the first time the two had kissed. Back when March 7th first arrived in the NPC world, Lin Li had already stolen her first kiss. However, March 7th's feelings back then were completely different from now.

Just as the girl was missing him, he came to her side on March 7th. Although she felt a little flustered that her secret had been exposed, she felt mostly sweetness and happiness.

Her eyes quickly became watery and dreamy, her soft lips carrying a hint of sweetness, and March 7th took the initiative to stick out her little tongue, chasing after the softness of her beloved.

To be honest, March 7's initiative was somewhat unexpected by Lin Li. He hadn't been flirting with March 7 much lately, and most of his attention wasn't on her.

I never expected this pink-haired girl to actually win herself over!
