"E-eh...but i-if I don't plant the barcode…" Bunnie gulped. "Y-your master can't get my help, right? B-because of the points system…"
"Don't worry, quack. I will be the one managing the points and other things, quack." Yaya lifted his chin high, acting like an arrogant little duck.
"If Jia needs your help, quack, I'll deduct her points and get you to do the task, quack. So, it's still fair for other players, quack."
"T-that…" Bunnie paused. The blue rabbit's eyes turned watery again. "B-but…"
'If I don't plant my barcode, then I am not counted as an official assistant AI, ah?'
"I know what you are thinking, quack." Yaya shook his head. "But if you plant your barcode, you might suddenly betray us one day, quack."
'And I can't forgive that! I won't let that happen to Jia.'
"So, you will only be shadow assistance, quack, helping me from the dark. If I lack material to make an item, you will make it, quack, " Yaya explained his plan.
"Of course, the points needed to make or buy that item will be deducted from Jia's points, quack."
Bunnie fell silent. The rabbit bit her lips for a few seconds before reluctantly nodded.
"A-alright, if that's what you want...I-i will be an unofficial assistance AI…"
'This is better than doing nothing and gets non-activated. I know that the game company sends me to this girl because they want me to monitor her.'
Bunnie sighed.
'It's all because this duck...is relatively unstable.'
'The higher-ups said that this duck is a failed product, a defect, and that's why he can't send the footage of his master's recording 24 hours a day. But…'
Bunnie glanced at Yaya.
'Is it truly the case? Is this duck a defect or...does he have a hidden special skill that no one knows?'
Bunnie squeezed her eyes tightly and shook her head.
'Only the inventor will know this duck's real skill. I don't need to know anyway. Let's just focus on me.'
Bunnie slowly lifted her head and looked at Yaya with the corner of her eyes dropped low, looking pitiful.
"I-i agree with your terms...b-but, I-i will still get access to speak to your master via telepathy, r-right?"
"Yes, I guarantee that, quack." Yaya nodded. The duck then scanned Bunnie from head to toe before clapping his wings.
"Now you have agreed, please turn on your sleeping mode, quack. I'll discuss with Jia where to put you near her, quack."
Bunnie gulped. The rabbit inhaled and decided to trust Yaya.
'As long as they don't abandon me!'
The rabbit then turned on her sleeping mode at the same time as Yaya speaking to Lai Jiayi.
[Jia, come in, quack! It's all settled.]
[Good!] Lai Jiayi dashed to enter the bathroom, and the first thing she saw was Bunnie's body slowly falling to the floor.
!
"Bunnie!" Lai Jiayi hurriedly grabbed Bunnie's body before the rabbit hit the floor. Once she caught the bunny, Lai Jiayi sighed in relief.
The girl then abruptly looked at Yaya as she carefully protected Bunnie in her palm. Lai Jiayi glared at the duck.
"What did you do to her? Why she suddenly falls– "
"She just entered sleeping mode, quack." Yaya shrugged. "Anyway, our agreement went like this •••" Yaya started to explain the agreements between him and Bunnie.
The duck had a satisfied smile on his face as he elaborated on the topic.
'Hehehe, with this, I'll still be Jia's exclusive assistant! Hmp, no one will be able to replace me.'
Yaya secretly snickered while Lai Jiayi listened to the duck's explanation. Once she finished listening to Yaya, the girl raised an eyebrow.
"So...Bunnie will stay with us, but she will be in a sleeping mode until we call her."
"Yes, quack."
"But where do I put her? If she has to follow me anywhere– "
"You can hang her around your waist, quack. I'll get Bunnie a magnet so that she will always be glued to you, quack." Yaya grinned. The duck then stared at the sleeping bunny.
'Hohoho, I wonder if it will be uncomfortable for you if I glue you to Jia's waist!'
One could see a devil's horn and tail popped out behind Yaya. The duck looked like a malicious duck at the moment.
Lai Jiayi paused. She shook her head. "I think we can just hang her like an accessory. Look, there's a cute chain behind her neck. This way, I won't lose her."
'And she won't look suspicious at all. People will see Bunnie as a cute rabbit bag or something. I'm a bit sorry for having to hang her like this, but…'
Lai Jiayi sighed.
'I can't always bring a small bag everywhere I go. Attaching her to my body is the safest method.'
"Okay, I agree, quack. Then, you can already hang her around your waist, right, quack?"
Yaya pointed at the belt hole on Lai Jiayi's black skirt. Every trousers or skirt the girl owned also had a place for a belt.
It would be convenient.
Lai Jiayi only needed to hook the small chain behind Bunnie's back and hang it around the waist.
"Oh, right. I'll do it now." Lai Jiayi slowly picked up the chain and placed it around the belt place. Once she's sure that it won't suddenly fall, she released Bunnie's body.
The bunny was now hanging on Lai Jiayi's waist, looking like a cute accessory. Since the rabbit was also sleeping, she didn't feel any discomfort.
"Now, let's go! Zhao Yang and Zhao Yun must have been waiting for us." Lai Jiayi patted her chest and went out of the bathroom.
'Can't let those two wait any longer!'
