"That's the number of times it's been used this week."
Ye Feng replied nonchalantly while slurping his noodles.
He usually wouldn't end a session without hitting at least 10 reps. After all, he could refresh his status, allowing him to forever maintain the peak state of 100 days of celibacy.
"...This week? Number of times used?"
"Mmm. The world resets every week, which is seven days. By the way, today is Friday. Is it the same in the outside world?"
"Yeah, it is."
Kiana tilted her head and replied in agreement.
She continued looking at the status bar. There were too many words, and the literature was too profound; she couldn't understand any of it. So, she naturally skimmed past it.
Cultural lessons and the like... the Tuna's head always started to hurt just looking at them.
Ye Feng was actually looking forward to her probing deeper into the matter. Seeing the look of utter despair on Kiana's face would surely be quite delightful.
But since her attention had shifted, he wouldn't go out of his way to remind her.
Kiana stared at her attribute panel, stroking her chin. "So, you're saying I have two bodies? One in the game world, and one in the real world."
"Something like that. However, this world belongs to me. As for this body, you only have 'user rights' at best."
"User rights, huh..."
Kiana munched contentedly on her strawberry cake, her eyes fixed on her attribute panel. She wanted to learn from Ye Feng and "change her outfit," trying to do so with her thoughts and by tapping her fingers, but it was all completely useless.
"What kind of user rights are these?! I can't do anything!"
She couldn't change her outfit, nor could she modify her status.
"Can you change your clothes with a single click or instantly heal yourself in the real world?"
"Ugh..."
"If I had to put it another way, translating it to your real world, what you're seeing now is the underlying logic of how this world operates. It's a form of the 'rules'."
"Huh?"
The Tuna looked completely baffled.
She didn't quite understand, but it sounded incredibly impressive.
Just then, long, straight, navy-blue hair swayed beside them, and an alluring, clean fragrance faintly wafted into her nose.
Kiana turned her head, her gaze instantly captivated by a tall, curvaceous figure.
It was a woman who possessed the grace of a Yamato Nadeshiko and the gentleness of a beautiful wife. Her temperament was like a lone orchid in a secluded valley—elegant on the surface but exuding a rich fragrance.
Kiana stared at her blankly, the hand holding the cake frozen in mid-air, her mind seemingly drawn into that very figure.
She was Kiana's absolute ideal type.
"What do you think? Beautiful, right?"
"So, so beautiful..." Kiana murmured.
But she immediately shook her head violently.
No, my heart will forever belong only to Mei!
Ye Feng chuckled. "That's my wife."
"Eh? No way!" Kiana retorted in disbelief.
"Her usage count, along with Da Yaya's, is overwhelmingly higher than anyone else's, you know."
"?"
Kiana still hadn't grasped what "usage count" actually meant.
But what concerned her more was, "...She looks so familiar."
"She should. That's Mei from 8 years in the future... no, wait, what year is it in the outside world now?"
"Summer, 2014."
"Oh, so you just enrolled at St. Freya. Let me think... that's probably the Raiden Mei from 10 years in the future."
"Mei!!? That's Mei! From 10 years in the future! Of course! Ehehe, Mei is the best~ Ehehe~~"
Kiana clasped her hands together, holding them to her cheek as she stared at Mei-yi with a lovestruck expression.
Suddenly, she shot up from her seat. "Wait, what did you say? Mei is your wife?"
"What else? You're my wife, too."
"??"
Is he nuts? Any woman he sees is his wife?
Kiana looked at Ye Feng with utter disgust.
"It's true. In this world, every woman is my wife. However, you only rank third."
"Huh? What do you mean? I can understand Mei being first, but who's second? This young lady is not inferior to anyone. Except for Mei."
Hearing this, Ye Feng was taken aback.
No, this silly child... did she just ignore the whole 'wife' thing that quickly?
Well, perhaps in Kiana's mind, she didn't take anything Ye Feng said seriously in the first place.
Ye Feng said coolly, "No, Mei-yi is second."
"??"
The Tuna froze. "Who's first?"
"Bronya."
"Huh? No way, that little munchkin?"
"What do you mean, 'little munchkin'? That is the great Ms. Bronya, who used her life's work to prove that 8 is greater than 50,000."
What eight? What fifty thousand?
He was speaking in riddles again.
But the Tuna always managed to grasp the core issue that she cared about.
She and Mei had both been beaten.
Although the Tuna didn't know what the "competition" was, she was inexplicably annoyed.
No matter what, she had to get to the bottom of this.
"Why is Bronya first?"
"The usage count. My dick doesn't lie."
"What?"
"Oh, here comes Bronya. Look."
Kiana followed Ye Feng's finger.
At the entrance of the cafeteria, Da Yaya, dressed in her OL suit and black stockings, walked in with light, steady steps.
Her beautiful silver hair, voluptuous curves, upright posture, and rounded legs all left Kiana in a state of shock.
Especially the way her exquisite high heels supported her long, stocking-clad legs as she walked, the sound of her steps on the floor was even and rhythmic, as if she were stepping to a melody.
Light and elegant, her every step bloomed like a flower.
"Sh-sh... she," Kiana stuttered, "is Bronya? You've got to be kidding me."
The short, flat Bronya from her memory...
"Could actually grow to this extent in 10 years?"
"Of course. Some people say Da Yaya used her Herrscher of Reason authority to modify herself. I think they're completely clueless. It's obviously a result of her mother's excellent genes."
"What about me?" Kiana asked curiously, still in shock. "What will I look like in ten years?"
If Mei and Bronya turned out so amazing, then this young lady must be incredible, too, right?
"I'm not sure about 10 years, but I do know what you're like in two years."
Ye Feng suddenly thought of something, and the corners of his mouth slowly curved into a delighted arc. "Want to see it? Your moment of glory, Kiana."
