Chapter 539 - - 477 Arsonist of the Heart_3

—————✧✧✧✧—————

“You’re ‘Kill One Every Ten Steps’?” Gu Qingyan looked at Duge, lowering her voice, and tentatively asked.

“Yes, it’s me.” Duge lifted his head to look at Gu Qingyan, shyly nodded, “I originally wanted to surprise my senior, but I didn’t expect to be discovered by you…”

Aside.

Shen Yuning was also curiously sizing up Duge.

Lin Hong was only secretly in love with Gu Qingyan; he hadn’t even spoken a single word to his goddess.

So, to Gu Shen, Duge was a stranger.

Lin Hong was not handsome in appearance.

And with his ‘Hide as if null’ skill disguising him, he looked just like an ordinary person, the kind you couldn’t find in a crowd.

But the moment he admitted he was ‘Kill One Every Ten Steps,’ all disguises vanished, the strong spiritual power of an alien warrior, the physique improved by attributes, the unparalleled charm Duge had from experiencing various worlds, and the added appeal towards the opposite sex brought by ‘Spring Heart is Sprouting’…

All the buffs piled up together, making it seem like an ordinary person was suddenly radiating a dazzling light, blinding both Gu Qingyan and Shen Yuning so much that they couldn’t open their eyes, their breathing almost stopped instantly.

This temperament alone confirmed for both of them that the handsome man before them was indeed the “Kill One Every Ten Steps” from the battle network.

Shen Yuning subconsciously licked her lips, and with a trembling voice asked, “Junior, can I know who the goddess is that you mentioned on the battle network?”

Gu Qingyan looked at Duge with shining eyes, her heartbeat accelerating in an instant.

“It’s Gu senior.” Duge’s gaze swept over the two, as if he had made a firm decision, his shyness vanished in an instant, “Since the moment I enrolled, I wanted to become a mecha pilot. Gu senior is my role model. Unfortunately, I had an accident with my body.

That’s why I had no choice but to switch to the Mech Repair Department. But I’ve always been silently paying attention to Gu senior. I bet on your victory in every match on the battle network. I know my abilities are limited, but I still want to build a mecha for you with my own hands…”

Buzz!

Gu Qingyan’s mind buzzed, as if struck by lightning, and felt as if she was on cloud nine, too thrilled to speak anymore, no woman could refuse such a confession.

Yet, Shen Yuning’s expression instantly turned melancholic; she bit her lip lightly and said no more.

“Why should it be her!?”

How was she any less than Gu Qingyan?

“As compensation, I will tailor-make a mecha for Shen senior too. Whatever style you want, you can come and order from me,” said Duge. Having experienced so many worlds, Gu Shen were like two little girls in his eyes. He easily saw through Shen Yuning’s thoughts and smiled.

“Really?” Shen Yuning’s eyes lit up instantly.

“Of course. I wouldn’t want to affect your relationship with each other because of me,” Duge smiled, “Isn’t happiness being able to be with the person you love the most, without having to part from your best friend? I hope that one day, the three of us can fight side by side on the battlefield, wearing the most powerful mecha.”

“Yes, I feel the same way,” Gu Qingyan nodded repeatedly.

“Alright, I’ll join you,” said Shen Yuning.

“Gu senior, Shen senior, I’m actually a bit reserved and I’ve promised Director Zhong to go to the Science Academy, so I won’t have much time to spend with you. I hope you don’t mind,” Duge said to both of them.

“It’s okay, serious matters are the priority,” Gu Qingyan quickly said, “I understand.”

“Good,” Duge smiled and nodded, but sighed inwardly in his heart.

Every planet targeted by Pan-Universe Entertainment was accompanied by a tragic fate, and Duge didn’t want to get too attached to the people on the alien battlefield.

Just thinking about how Luo Shuang and the State Preceptor, along with others, were eventually soul-extracted by Pan-Universe Entertainment to create simulations, made Duge feel as if a piece of his heart was gouged out.

He wasn’t a lecherous man, but this cursed harem skill kept drawing these kind-hearted people to him like moths to a flame.

What Duge could do was to make them as happy as possible in their last moments of life. Fortunately, little girls were fairly easy to deceive. Thankfully, the skill only made them attracted to him, developing admiration, and nothing more excessive…

One day, when he overthrows Pan-Universe Entertainment and finds a way to lift the skill, he will then give them true freedom!
