She suddenly felt something surging in her heart. This was the extraordinary NPC she had recognized at first glance! Such respect, such closeness—this game was truly amazing!
At this moment, Excavation Princess was completely captivated by Lily.
She also extended her right hand, gently clasping that porcelain-white hand.
"I made you worry."
"Lily's smile, ahhh, it's so warm, my heart is melting."
"They're holding hands, they're holding hands! Excavation Princess, you're so dead."
"This hand can't be washed anymore."
"This is so satisfying. Lily's immersion is directly maxed out this time. In that crappy game I played before, I adventured with an NPC for several years, but when we met again later, she couldn't even be bothered to say hello to me. What a joke."
"Excavation Princess, quickly share what Lily's hand feels like."
Bullet comments flew by, and Excavation Princess also noticed Anya staring fiercely at her hand intertwined with Lily's.
Heh, let them hold hands!
Excavation Princess ignored these bullet comments. Right now, this was her exclusive moment!
Seeing her silly grin, Lily also secretly smiled. This meant her plan for today was 3/4 successful. Now, she only had one final step—
To establish Excavation Princess, who had chased her all the way from the Abandoned Cooling Plant to Lynn, as a benchmark, to entice other players to adore her like Excavation Princess!
Before, she had led players to fight monsters and earn experience, and used her own sacrifice to earn players' tears. Today, on this exciting day of reunion, it was time to try a new tactic to provide players with a different kind of emotional value.
"The journey from the Abandoned Cooling Plant to here wasn't easy, was it?" Lily suddenly asked.
Excavation Princess waved her hand: "It was alright, I was in a car anyway, and didn't encounter any danger on the way."
As she spoke, her stomach suddenly rumbled a few times.
"I…"
Excavation Princess's face flushed with embarrassment.
Just as she said she was fine, her hunger exposed her. Sometimes, games being too realistic isn't necessarily a good thing.
Fortunately, Lily's smile grew even warmer.
"I'll take you to eat first."
"No need, really no need." Excavation Princess quickly declined.
Lily pulled her without question: "Don't be nervous, Anya and I came out to have dinner."
Facing Lily's "firm stance," Excavation Princess could only follow.
She had originally wanted to show a perfect side to Lily to earn some favorability, but it turned out to be completely embarrassing in practice.
But despite the embarrassment, Excavation Princess was now incredibly pleased, especially after seeing the wails and various real-name envies in the bullet comments, she felt so good she thought she would fly.
Thinking back to when she first posted in the community praising Lily, there was a large group of people questioning her, and the few who supported her were mostly there for the fun of it.
Now, looking back, what do you call a complete reversal!
One can only say, true wisdom is lonely!
Excavation Princess had already decided that after she temporarily parted ways with Lily today, she would open a new thread in the community.
She wasn't doing it to torment those players who mocked her; the brilliance of a wise person isn't gained by playing tricks on fools.
She mainly wanted to show off, to elaborately describe her mental journey from deciding to search for Lily to reuniting with Lily. Oh, and she also had to focus on describing the feeling of shaking hands with Lily. How could such good writing material not be written into several hundred words?
With these thoughts, Excavation Princess followed behind Lily. Soon, both she and the players watching the live stream realized that the writing material accumulated from tonight's journey would probably be too much for her to finish writing.
19:03: Arrived at the Red Sail Restaurant with Lily and Anya. Lily treated them to delicious wasteland-style cuisine.
19:52: Left the restaurant with Lily and Anya, strolling along the path lined with metal pipes. Unexpectedly learned that Lily loves sweets. Eating while walking, unexpectedly cute.
20:26: Arrived at an amusement park called "Mechanical Power" with Lily and Anya. Visited a scrapped power armor there. As colored lights spilled from the pillars, she felt a bit envious of Lily and Anya's close relationship.
21:28: Ascended Lynn's tallest radio tower with Lily and Anya. The wind on the tower was strong, but standing next to Lily, she felt warm all over.
Standing on the radio tower's observation deck, looking out at Lynn sleeping in the dark night, Excavation Princess's thoughts drifted far away.
While she and Lily were out having fun, the Star Wanderer Community was practically exploding. From the Abandoned Cooling Plant sub-forum to the main forum, player activity was ridiculously high.
"Oh no, oh no, something big has happened!"
"What big thing happened?"
