Chapter 181: 7.19

"Constantly having mediocre ranking in class because of his laziness, but he has a heart of gold nonetheless! Cute Soldier is here! Sailor Cutiepie! I shall punish you with the power of love, Kyun~."

XuanLake watched Yunyu transformed and posed like he did in the cave. His heart was pained, but he was looking in awe whenever Yunyu turned into a Sailor Soldier. Because Yunyu was cute, really cute. 

'That shamelessness, loudness, cuteness, and exaggerated poses… so cute, so interesting, so… lovely,' XuanLake thought as he couldn't take his eyes off Yunyu. He appraised Yunyu and saw that he reduced his level to 150, probably to avoid too much destruction as he did before. 

Meanwhile, Pupa was arguing with Yunyu;

[Pupa: I'm surprised that you are not embarrassed showing this kind of thing in front of XuanLake, I mean, he must have been disgusted!]

[Oh, come on, he will not! I think he also sees me as a cutie after I've transformed!]

[Pupa: There is no way a normal man would—]

[Pupa: Ding! Fatemeter increases to 90%.]

[…]

[Pupa:…]

[Pupa: You are all disgusting.] 

Yunyu giggled. He turned his head towards XuanLake on the ground and smiled, "Brother Xuan, I will protect you!" 

Yunyu summoned a wand with a crescent moon as the head, "I will end this with one attack!" 

The wand started emanating a glowing aura, and stardust poured out of it. Yunyu spun around to scatter the stardust, then he created a circle with it, "Moon Healinggg… Escalatioonn!"

The stardust covered the whole city. The android was stuck in his position, unmoving, waiting for Yunyu to kill it with his attack. It infuriated Pupa very much. 

[Pupa: Hello? Logic, please? Why are you not moving!? You are so fierce before, you almost killed three of them. Now you are just going to stand there, stupidly? Oh god, I swear this thing annoys me so much!]

[Sshh… that's the charm of magical girl, just let it go and enjoy it.]

The stardust slowly depleted the Lost Android's health bar until it reached zero, "Refresh..." the android said before it got destroyed for real. 

Meanwhile, the stardust also healed both XuanLake and ZeroCheat. Slowly, their HP increased up to 50%. 

After Yunyu finished his transformation, he had exhausted all his energy and mana, he fell from the air, and XuanLake caught him with his hands, "Ah… so tired…" Yunyu complained. 

Yunyu glanced at XuanLake, who caught him, "Brother Xuan, please take the Advanced Chip from the android… it is important if you want to… hm… to clear the tower…"

"I need to sleep. I'm so tired…" Yunyu closed his eyes after he exhausted all his energy. He was still in XuanLake's embrace, as XuanLake felt that his heart was beating faster when he was able to touch Yunyu again. 

Indeed, he missed this moment very much. Although their harmonious time was short, it was impactful for XuanLake. He stared at unconscious Yunyu and his gaze darkened. A twisted smile appeared on his face, then he kissed Yunyu's lips gently, "Yunyu, you may be his for now. But please wait patiently, okay? I shall kill him at the right moment and have you all for myself."

XuanLake placed Yunyu gently on the ground, and he stared at ZeroCheat with a cold gaze. Indeed, he wanted to kill this guy and end the torment in his heart. But by that, Yunyu might detest him forever. He needed to find a more subtle way to kill him. 

XuanLake went to the destroyed Lost Android. He slashed the brain open and saw not only three but five Advanced Chips inside its brain. He took all of them and grinned maliciously, "These chips are very rare. It is best to take all of them."

XuanLake put one chip to Yunyu's storage and one to ZeroCheat's storage. He took three of them and socketed it as an enchantment in his gear. The notification showed his upgrade. 

'Three Advanced Chips have been inserted, gained additional effect.'

'Immunity to Poison. 30% increase to all stat. Immunity to electricity.'

'Gained special skill for socketing three Advanced Chips: Android Boost (For five minutes, all stat will be doubled. Only usable once a day.)' 

XuanLake was satisfied with this. He was one step closer to clear the Tower of God in a breeze. XuanLake sat beside unconscious Yunyu and brushed his hair gently, "Bai Yunyu, do you know that I've entered debug mode secretly to find the information of all three gears needed to defeat the Tower of God? I know that you want me to have all of them to defeat the tower."

"But for what? Why do you want me to climb so bad? Is it because you want to forgive me, or…" XuanLake typed something on his menu bar. Then a portal appeared, it as debug mode portal, only accessible for him.

He could double his level by entering the portal and changing his stat a bit, similar to cheating, but that was not the debug portal's primary use. XuanLake went inside the debug portal and returned with something inside his mouth, countless nano bugs from the debug world.

He opened Yunyu's mouth and kissed him, pouring all the nano bugs inside Yunyu's mouth. Pupa watched everything, and the hidden plot notification was triggered.

[Pupa: Ding! A hidden plot has been triggered! XuanLake, the debugger and culprit.]

However, Yunyu was still unconscious. Thus he couldn't hear the notification. After Yunyu swallowed all the nano bugs, Pupa suddenly could not communicate with Yunyu at all. As if the nano bugs suddenly crawled inside Yunyu and destroyed all his form of communication with Pupa. 

[Pupa: Yunyu! Wake up! Bai Yunyu!]

Pupa started bumping at Yunyu's head to wake him up. But, Yunyu was sleeping like a log, not realizing the danger that XuanLake had put inside him. 

Pupa was surprised when the nano bugs also started showing in the invisible leash that bound Pupa as a system with Yunyu. This leash was unbreakable until the host cleared the mission.

But it could be cut temporarily when there is an emergency. However, the system needed to find a fix in the headquarter and return to the host after that. 

The system was even more surprised when the nano bugs started crawling to Pupa. Afraid that the nanobots would also corrupt the system and possibly infect the headquarter, Pupa temporarily cut the connection between itself and Yunyu. 

[Pupa: I have no other choice, I have to leave!]

Pupa honestly had no choice. When a system was not connected to the host with the invisible leash, it would be sucked back to the headquarter.

Pupa could only show a constant update on Breakmeter and Fatemeter, alongside a message containing only 1 word before leaving the world. Thus, Pupa wrote;

[Debugger.]

With that, Pupa was kicked out of the world until it could find a fix or until Yunyu could complete the world by filling the Breakmeter. Pupa could not even restart the world since Pupa was not inside the world with Yunyu, so Yunyu was stuck until he finished the mission.

"Ah, I can't wait until I can have you again, Bai Yunyu," XuanLake kissed Yunyu again, "You make me crazy. I have to actually enter the debug world and showed my true self for you. What a surprise."

Meanwhile, Yunyu was dreaming of a big bucket of fried chicken, good food after an exhausting day. But the chicken tasted funny as if the chicken tasted like metal and wires.

'Eh, this fried chicken taste weird…' Yunyu thought in his dream, and he just shrugged, 'Oh well, a new taste, I guess.'
