Chapter 3: The Price of Being a Rogue

  Xiao Yi's mouth was agape as he stared at Wan Wan, circling around her several times before finally speaking up: "Aren't you just the APC who guided me through the game earlier? You've added a name and suddenly think you're high-end and elegant?"

  Wan Wan smiled politely and said, "I need to correct that. Everyone who enters this game will encounter the previous APC, but afterwards, the APC assistant they obtain is not necessarily the same as before. In general, the probability of two identical appearances won't exceed one in ten thousand!"

  "Is it that awesome? You mean I've struck gold? Is there some kind of heavenly reward? Like giving me a Dan medicine to directly level up from level one to level 100. Or gifting me a divine artifact, so no matter what kind of monster it is, I can kill it with one sword."

  Wan Wan looked at Xiao Yu with a silly expression, then finally recognized him and replied: "No!"

  "Cut, this doesn't have that and that doesn't have this. Then tell me, with such a small probability of being selected, what benefits will it bring to me?"

  "Looks familiar? Intimate?" Wenwen hesitated for a long time before giving an uncertain answer.

  "Goodness gracious, it seems like we've met before for no more than five minutes!"

  Wan Wan also awkwardly said: "I think there must be some benefits that we haven't discovered, or maybe our way of opening it is not correct! For this kind of thing in the future, it's still up to you to complete it. I can really help you very little. Only through one's own exploration and discovery can knowledge be obtained most reliably!"

  "Self-exploration discovery?" Xiao Yi pinched his own chin, constantly sizing up Wanwan. It seemed that he had heard before that in this game, you could go to a brothel, a loving entertainment venue? Was it said that as long as it was a beauty in the game, he could have fun with all of them?

  In his heart, he knew this idea was despicable, but Xiao Yi thought it wouldn't hurt to try it out on Wanwan. After all, it was his own sword spirit, and in theory, it should still be his thing; playing with his own thing shouldn't be a big deal, right?

  Moreover, I'm still a virgin now, even if something happens with Wenyue, it's not too bad. You know, as an APC, she might not have the chance to be intimate with the opposite sex in eight lifetimes! If it's really successful, I can also practice my skills, what's not to gain?

  With that thought, Xiao Yi stretched out his hand and wrapped Wan Wan into his own arms, his left hand lifting her chin, his right hand constantly roaming around Wan Wan's waist!

  "Little girl, tell me honestly, what role do you play in this game? I don't want to know anything else, I just want to know if there's a function for warming the bed?"

  Xiao Yi almost couldn't help but applaud for himself, what a professional move, what a familiar expression, this is simply a living and breathing old professional rogue!

  "Ah, so this is what a girl's waist feels like? This is what a girl's skin feels like? No wonder men all like women, women are really the best gift God has given to men! Being able to touch these two (breasts) makes me willing to be struck by lightning!"

  Just as Xiao Yi was secretly pleased, he suddenly found that Wanwan's face had changed. Earlier she was still very gentle, but now she had turned into a frosty expression.

  But thinking of Xiao Yi made her feel at ease, whether it was a real girl or a program created by code, they shouldn't like being touched casually by men!

  "I bumped into you today, what can you do to me? I'm your master, don't I still have this privilege? I told you today, stop messing with me! From now on, every time Grandpa comes up, he'll make sure to be affectionate with you first. If you cooperate a bit, that's fine, but if you don't... Hehehehe!"

  "Warning! Warning! Honorable player, you have violated the third clause of the fourth article of the game rules. This behavior may cause internal code chaos, leading to a massive overflow, and the system will enter an infinite loop. If you fail to escape the infinite loop within three minutes, the system will automatically activate the secondary AI system, and all consequences will be borne by the player themselves!"

  "What the heck! Trying to scare me? Thinking I don't understand these professional terms, huh? Let me tell you, no way! I'm absolutely not going to let go, even if it means getting struck by five thunderbolts, as long as I can get a good feel of my sister!"

  Xiao Yi tightly hugged Wanwan's waist, he wasn't afraid of any danger to himself, but mainly worried that Wanwan's second intelligent system might be a self-destruct system.

  Three minutes passed quickly, and Yuwen's face showed another expression, which was more charming than before. Xiao Yi, who was standing on the side, swallowed his saliva!

  "Alternate personality initialization complete. Alternate personality successfully activated and is now in effect. Entering chaotic neutral mode!"

  "What does that mean?" Xiao Yi expressed his own lack of understanding towards the words coming out of Wenwen's mouth, which always seemed to have a high-end, elegant and cool tone.

  "That means if you dare to flirt with me, I can summon the Nine Heavenly Thunderbolt through the system and strike you dead!"

  As soon as she finished speaking, Yuwen pointed at Xiao Yi with her finger, and a bolt of lightning suddenly appeared out of thin air, directly turning Xiao Yi into a piece of charcoal!

  "Article 4 of the third clause of the system clearly states that in games with male roles, if a female character is touched intimately without her consent, she can request protection from the system. This article also applies to female players and APCs!"

  "Alright, I knew there's no such thing as a free lunch in this world! But I can still accept this kind of punishment!" After saying that, Xiao Yu's face revealed a sly smile again.

  "By the way, if male players don't change their ways, the level of punishment by thunder will get higher and higher until it can really turn a person into ashes!"

  "Can I ask if frequent queries will accumulate the power of thunder?"

  "Not more than three times a day, otherwise it will be like this!"

  "That's great, it turns out we can play twice more, let's hurry up, I'll get undressed first!"

  "Nine Heavenly Thunder!"

  Wan Wan threw Xiao Yi to the ground like a dead dog and said, "Alright, we've wasted enough time. We must hurry up and cultivate now. Since you didn't choose a sect when entering the game, the system will first give you a secret manual. You can raise your level by cultivating the manual, then do tasks to earn money and buy better manuals in the store!"

  Looking at the tattered and worn-out manual in his hand, Xiao Yu's eyes became blurry. Judging from the extent of its damage, this thing had been around for a very long time. Even its name was particularly apt - Tattered Manual!

  Xiao Yiyi vaguely felt that this thing was definitely a heaven-defying secret book, just like the wild baseball fist that came with the system when Jin Yong's Heroes first appeared.

  "This secret book must be very expensive, right? Can I cultivate this thing until I become an immortal? Is this a hidden secret book? It's especially difficult to practice at the beginning, but in the later stages, can I surpass others by a great margin?" Xiao Yi asked several questions in a row, his heart was surging with excitement!

  Wan Wan nodded and said, "That's right, this book was indeed difficult to cultivate at the beginning, but it won't make much progress in the later stages! I've told you all along, work hard on your tasks and strive to buy better secret recipes! Now you can check the task list, you rookie!"

  Xiao Yi began to review his tasks with a heart full of sorrow, feeling that he had really brought trouble upon himself when he chose his profession in the first place!

  At first level, tasks are relatively simple and often involve running errands for people around him. But even these tasks leave Xiao Yi exhausted like a dead dog.

  Mr. Zhang from next door feels leg pain, possibly due to his old cold legs acting up again, so he hopes Xiao Yi can help him go to Dr. Li's place to get some medicine! Mission reward: 10 experience points, 5 copper coins!

  Xiao Yi searched the entire novice village but couldn't find Li Dafu anywhere. Just when he wanted to give up and return to Zhang Da Ye, he found that Li Dafu was standing right next to Zhang Da Ye!

  "I know you have money, but having money isn't about spending it like that! You made me run all the way to the other side of the newbie village just because I was next to you! Having money doesn't make you superior!"

  After a whole day of busy work, Xiao Yu finally completed all the first-level tasks. He was still very satisfied with his results. Although the task was a bit tiring, there was no danger. In this process, he not only gained experience and money but also fully equipped himself with primary equipment.

  Although they are all whiteboards, compared to the triangular pants he wore before, these things can give Xiao Yu a strong sense of security!

  "Beautiful woman, I've already leveled up to level 2, what's the next task? Also, after level 2, can I learn new skills?" Xiao Yi asked excitedly, waving his long sword.

  Wan Wan directly said: "You don't have money, so you can't afford a skill book!"

  "We should do something else, always helping the elderly run errands. If that's all it takes to become immortal, then it's just too easy!" Xiao Yi expressed his dissatisfaction, waving the long sword in his hand, he yearned to wield his sword and roam the world!

  "Hey, you're really eager! No problem, I just received a distress call from the village chief. Apparently, something's going on at the chicken farm south of the village, and now we have to go over there and take out all the chickens that got loose!" Yuanyuan's face was dead serious, as if they were about to face off against a formidable foe!

  After finishing speaking, Yuwen began to transmit, Xiao Yi was very dissatisfied and shouted: "Are you sure that a young hero like me with unparalleled talent really has to go kill chickens?"

  "Of course! Everyone has to go through this step! Come on, young man, your goal is right in front of you!"

  As soon as Wanwan's fingers brushed past Xiao Yifei's ruthless gaze, his eyes became disordered!

  "Are you sure our enemy is this guy? Are you sure this three-meter-tall fellow is the Ring-necked Pheasant, a vertebrate, bird, and member of the chicken family that we often talk about?!?!" Xiao Yi swallowed hard.
