After the proposal, the Valkyrie came to the door

At that point, even the most naive Bai Xier would give up her fantasies and instead imprison An Liang in the basement, raping her day and night until An Liang's mind and body collapsed and he completely became Xing Nuli, who couldn't live without the girl!

"Actually, if you ask me, Seele, you shouldn't have stopped me in the first place. Pushing the captain down and humiliating him would have been faster than any strategy guide."

"Black Seele said quietly."

She initially intended to use the power of the Quantum Sea to forcefully push Anliang forward, essentially getting on the bus first and buying the ticket later, but Bai Xier stopped her halfway through.

"I... I don't think that's a good idea... The captain is only engaged, he hasn't gotten married yet. We still have a chance to win his heart, not just his body."

"Tsk, did you catch the captain's charm in your past life and now you want to pursue some kind of pure love?"

Hei Xi clicked her tongue slightly and ruthlessly stated the truth: "The problem is, on this timeline, those of us who arrive late can only be the third party who destroys relationships."

"We haven't reached the point of formal marriage yet. Breakups are quite common among couples, so it shouldn't count as being a third party... Besides, my other self, don't you want to try to make the captain fall in love with you little by little, and experience the feeling of him pouring all his love into you?"

"If we use force, even if the captain's body submits, there will always be a barrier between him and us, unlike in his previous life when he loved us completely."

Bai Xier clutched her chest and muttered to herself.

She still hoped that, like in fairy tales, she could fall in love with the captain from the bottom of her heart and live a happy life together.

"While that would certainly be better, getting a captain who already has a fiancée to fall in love with us... Oh well, I can't do anything with you. It'll be a bit of a hassle."

Black Seele remained silent for a while, then said helplessly.

Having enjoyed Anliang's passionate and pure love in her past life, Hei Xier is now only getting a body from Anliang, which is not something she is really happy about. She is just worried that things might change if she waits too long, so she decided to strike first.

But now Bai Xier plans to pursue someone she truly loves...

So Hei Xi'er went along with it, changed her target, and temporarily spared An Liang's chastity.

"Now that we've decided to win the captain's heart just like in our previous life, we need to find a new way to use the photos we have."

"Hmm, speaking of which, is it really okay to deliberately take indecent photos to threaten the captain?"

"No problem, I've managed to keep things under control."

Faced with Bai Xier's worries, Hei Xier revealed a calm smile that showed she had everything under control.

"The captain's personality is such that he's easily swayed by gentle persuasion but not by force. If you really threatened him with photos to make him do something outrageous, he would rather be fired than compromise. But I just asked him not to harm Bronya, something that the captain thinks would never happen anyway, so it's fine for him to agree."

"I see. But if the captain has something on us, the atmosphere between us will be very awkward. That won't be good for improving our relationship, will it?"

"Hehe, this is the time for you to step in. Listen carefully, Seele, tomorrow you will contact the captain and do this..."

Black Seele, in the realm of consciousness, began to instruct White Seele, imparting various cunning and manipulative dating techniques.

After a while.

The innocent girl's cheeks flushed as she listened, but she still clenched her fists, her beautiful, deep blue eyes revealing a hint of determination.

Seele will do her best to win the captain's heart!

PS: Seele's turn is not over yet, and Big Duck still thinks everything is going smoothly for her, hehehe, I really want to write the twisted scene of the sisters betraying each other and being robbed by other Valkyries as soon as possible!

Chapter 111 The Captain Wants to Regain His Strength

Golden Courtyard in Sky City.

Anliang walked into the house and subconsciously looked around, but did not see the familiar pink figure as usual.

He slapped his forehead in a daze, then shook his head and chuckled.

"So much happened today, I almost forgot that Alicia went out to film a video. I wonder how she's doing with Fu Hua and Xiao Shi at Mount Song?"

To be honest, Anliang was really a little worried.

It wasn't that I was worried about Alicia's safety. With Fu Hua, who could be considered the supreme master of the martial arts world, there was nothing in the world that could threaten them.

The problem is that Alicia is mischievous, and Xiaoshi is a troublemaker. I'm afraid that if these two get together, they'll cause some kind of trouble...

Well, with Fu Hua watching over things, nothing should happen. But should I send Fu Hua some gifts to lower her blood pressure later?

An Liang pondered for a moment, then leaned back on the sofa and sighed rather listlessly.

If he had known he would be threatened with being forced to take photos by Hei Xi today, he would have flown directly to Songshan after get off work last night to spend two days with Alicia before returning to work, instead of worrying about this and that now.

"However, given Black Seele's personality, even without today's events, she would definitely have faced a calamity after discovering that I was getting close to Bronya."

That's just how yanderes are.

Anliang has encountered similar situations to being threatened by Black Seele this morning several times in his reincarnation. Compared to being dragged into the basement and fought for three days and three nights, being photographed is already considered good.

With this in mind, Anliang felt relieved about what had happened that day.

With Bai Xier watching over him, Hei Xier shouldn't misuse the photos. Once the girl understands his true character, today's misunderstanding will naturally be resolved, and the matter will be over.

By then, the balance of power will have shifted, and Anliang will be able to use this to his advantage against Hei Xier.

Hehe, don't be fooled by Black Seele's bad temper and her seemingly wicked little devil nature. In reality, she's just as good at attacking as Alicia.

Although Anliang didn't mind being pushed down and photographed by the girl, he wouldn't miss the chance to retaliate against Hei Xier if he could... Making Hei Xier blush and apologize in a low voice would be incredibly amusing.

When he was dating Xi'er, Anliang liked to tease Hei Xi, but he would be relatively restrained in front of Bai Xi.

Because Hei Xi may seem difficult to get along with, she is actually just being stubborn most of the time. If you ignore her and kiss her directly, she will become shy like a little wife.

However, the naturally charming Bai Xi will take your teasing seriously and pull you into her room, not letting you go until you're unable to get out of bed the next day.

This is what they call natural-born to counter cunning... But it has nothing to do with him anymore. In this timeline, he is already engaged and there's no way he could flirt with a young girl. At most, he might tease Black Seele a few times.

Anliang sighed inwardly, then thought of a serious problem.

"Black Seele is protected by the Sea of ​​Quanta. What if she gets pushed too far and destroys me?"

"I'm powerless right now, I really can't fight against Black Seele..."

An Liang stretched out a hand towards the ceiling, clenched it tightly, and muttered with a frown.

With countless battle experiences, even if he lost his former great power, he would still be a force to be reckoned with for ordinary people. Only a few, like Fu Hua, whose martial arts are almost at the level of Tao, are more powerful than An Liang.

He thought that would be enough, and that he wouldn't have to worry about combat power in the normal world where there was no collapse. But then an enemy came from the sky, and Seele actually had the power of the Sea of ​​Quanta.

It's like everyone is practicing martial arts in a world without magic, and suddenly someone who can cultivate immortality appears...

The versions are all different; it would be a miracle if we could beat them!

"Seele's quantum adaptability displayed in the cycle of reincarnation was already astounding; she was the only being to receive a gift from the Sea of ​​Quanta. But I truly didn't expect that Seele would still be favored by the Sea of ​​Quanta in this world... Is this the 'Daughter of the Sea'?!"

Anliang scratched his head, half envious and half troubled.

He wasn't particularly worried about Seele's ability to use quantum powers.

The power that the Sea of ​​Quanta can project across the intrinsic world is not much; at most, it can only temporarily enhance Seele's physical attributes to the level of a B-rank Valkyrie, unlike before when she could smash through the Sea of ​​Quanta with seven punches.

But the fact that the girl can still possess extraordinary power in an ordinary world is enough to make Anra, who has been reduced to an ordinary person by the Cocoon of the End, envious!

After breaking the cocoon, Anliang's personality became much more Zen-like. He only wanted to live a peaceful life with Alicia, but if he could regain his past powers, he certainly wouldn't refuse.

"To be honest, I have a lot of experience when it comes to rebuilding, but I lack the ability to perform imaginary number calculations..."

An Liang assumed a five-heart-facing-the-sky posture, used the technique of absorbing energy with the Tai Xu Sword Qi, and took a deep breath.

Naturally, he didn't inhale anything but air.

Even a skilled cook can't cook without rice; no matter how experienced Anliang is, he can't restore his strength without relying on imaginary numbers.

So, where exactly should we look for imaginary energy?

"The anti-entropy technology in this world is not as advanced as it used to be; they haven't developed imaginary cores yet. Otherwise, I could use imaginary cores as spirit stones or something similar for cultivation..."

"Besides that, we have to hope that one day humans will be able to observe imaginary space. I remember that Mebius and Kevin both mentioned that Mei is conducting theoretical research on imaginary space and seems to have collaborated with Destiny to set up a laboratory, bringing together a group of the world's top physicists to tackle this challenge."

An Liang counted on his fingers and realized that to access imaginary energy, they would have to wait for a technological breakthrough in human civilization.

"I focused all my energy on cultivation back then, and I only understood the basic theory of research on imaginary numbers. I was completely unable to help those great scientists accelerate their research. If I had known... if I had known, it would have been useless. I am an art student, not a science student. If you can't learn physics, you just can't learn it."

An Liang sighed with clear eyes, then his eyebrows twitched as if he had thought of something.

"The conventional method relies on technology, but there are shortcuts... Before the Cocoon of the End descended upon Earth, it also went to Venus and Mars. There may be remnants of civilizations in those places, with remnants of imaginary energy or related technologies."

"However, interstellar travel is not something that humans can accomplish in a short time, so only another method remains, a more risky one."

Anliang's expression showed some hesitation.

He doesn't know much about science, but he understands the tree of imaginary numbers and the essence of the world better than any scientist on this planet.

In a world situated on the Tree of Imaginary Numbers, when too many imaginary numbers accumulate nearby, the real space becomes imaginary, a phenomenon known as "imaginary invasion."

Logically, without the Cocoon of End filtering imaginary numbers...

Unless an imaginary energy storm happens to occur outside the world, it is impossible for Earth to experience an imaginary invasion. There are no conditions for that, you know!

However, in order to defeat the cocoon, An Liang had repeatedly used the power of the Imaginary Tree to cultivate. Finally, by chance, he accidentally discovered a method that could actively trigger the invasion of the Imaginary Tree.

However, that method is very special and can only be done by Anliang. Moreover, it is quite dangerous. Once, a pioneering envoy was badly burned when he tried this method in Anliang.

"Ahem, I don't particularly need power right now, so let's forget about actively triggering an imaginary invasion..."

Anliang calculated the risks and decisively sold the goods.

Without his good brothers to help him bear the consequences, he has no reason to take such a risk. He should just wait for a breakthrough in human science. With great scientists like Mei around, he should be able to achieve that in his lifetime.

PS: Actually, it was hinted twice before that the protagonist would eventually regain his strength, otherwise he wouldn't be able to withstand the six Valkyries. But when exactly he would regain his strength is a matter of much debate.

Then the preview for Honkai Impact 3.0 fell flat. It's basically a remake of the Paradise of the Past, right? The Thirteen Heroes of the Fire Chaser have changed a bit, but Kevin and Alicia are almost identical, which is hilarious. Although there won't be another Alicia, considering the author has been laying the groundwork for Aha and Star Iron, after the protagonist defeats the Valkyries in the main world, maybe they can add some side stories, like driving the Hyperion and taking the Thirteen Heroes of the Golden Garden to Onpharos. That would definitely be fun.

Chapter 112 Is the Thunderfire Sword Gretsch's disguise?!

After confirming that he couldn't recover his strength for the time being...

Anliang, like a salted fish that has lost its dreams, lay on the sofa for a while before slowly getting up and going back to his room.

He skillfully turned on the computer, connected the drawing tablet, and lost the power to ignore worldly constraints. The once-savior hero had to work part-time even on his days off in order to save enough money for his wedding as soon as possible.

Ugh, the more I think about it, the more pathetic I feel!

Anliang gripped his paintbrush, just about to let out a long, melancholic sigh.

Then I thought of a certain warrior who bore the mantle of savior, who is probably still coding at the company, living a 996 life, unable to even find time to propose, having gone from a sunny and cheerful young man to a corporate slave, without earning any money at all...

Although it was a bit unethical, Anliang felt a sense of balance when he thought that Kevin was doing even worse than him in the everyday world.

Even the Lord of the World Serpent is suffering, so there's nothing to complain about!

I should hurry up and make money. Kevin hasn't proposed to Mei yet because of the huge difference in their social status. My situation is slightly better, but it won't be easy to catch up with a big internet celebrity like Alicia... If I don't work harder, I'll really end up being a gigolo.

Anliang's fighting spirit was ignited, and he began to write furiously on the drawing board.

Perhaps because Alicia wasn't home, Anliang, who didn't have to worry about his disguise being exposed, could focus all his attention on his creation, and his painting speed was twice as fast as usual.

In just one afternoon, An Liang finished drawing "Yearning to Become a Magical Girl," which was to be updated this week. He even had the energy to draw the beginning of "The Snow Woman and the Cursed Ring 1," intending to give readers something good and thus get rid of his reputation as an old scoundrel.

"This was an exceptional performance today. I wish I could draw this fast every time..."

Anliang put down his paintbrush with satisfaction, glanced at the sky which had become completely dark, and slipped into the kitchen to cook himself dinner.

He eats alone, so he's too lazy to make any fancy dishes.

I quickly made a comet-shaped fried rice with some greens and eggs, then took out a bottle of white wine from Eden and poured myself a small glass.

Wine that Eden chooses is bound to be of high quality.

An Liang took just one sip and judged that the white wine had been aged for at least fifty years. The golden liquid was as elegant and luxurious as Eden itself, with a rich fruity aroma and a perfect balance of sweetness and acidity, giving the taste buds a fresh and delicate experience.

Paired with comet fried rice prepared by a master chef, this seemingly simple meal is actually quite expensive, easily fetching several thousand dollars in a high-end restaurant.

Unfortunately, Anliang had no interest in being a chef.

Cooking is a troublesome thing. It's okay to cook for someone you like, but if you have to treat it as a job, Anliang absolutely doesn't have the patience... Even when cooking for himself, he tends to do a shoddy job, let alone cook for a stranger.

"On another note, although I don't plan to become a chef, I can still draw food manga. As a self-taught artist, it would be quite reasonable for me to draw a book called 'Food Wars!', right?"

An Liang quickly finished his dinner, then lazily leaned back in his chair, took out his phone, logged into Lei Huojian's account, and checked the latest comic update.

His readers are all hypocrites who say one thing but mean another.

Despite saying he'll stop reading the old thief's comics, given the precedent of "Transformation," he'll definitely pull a big stunt in his future works. But every time Anliang updates, this group of readers is the fastest to rush in.

"So sometimes, let the readers make a fuss, because afterwards the subscriptions have actually increased... If you ask me, these guys are actually quite looking forward to me throwing out some angst in my doujinshi!"
