Chapter 102: Alice Recovers Her Vitality

“Is this really important?”

Luo Sheng pinched Alice’s delicate little cheeks and gave her a sunny smile. Holding her soft, fair hand, he said, “Whether you’re a weapon or a human doesn’t matter. In my heart, you’ll always be Alice, my family, and everything in my life. Isn’t that right?”

He said this without any mental burden, with genuine sincerity and touching emotion.

He was quite practiced at this.

“But I… I’m a modified human, a weapon sealed away for 50 years, only reactivated when needed.”

Alice couldn’t accept the part of herself that was a weapon.

She became withdrawn, hating the idea of living as a weapon, as if she had lost her sense of self and become a lifeless object.

As she spoke, tears of grievance flowed like a gentle stream, continuously falling.

Luo Sheng hugged her tightly, gently patting her back to comfort her: “Actually, from a different perspective, if it weren’t for your previous experiences, you wouldn’t have been abandoned in the ruins and met me.

You also wouldn’t have your current abilities, nor would you have a complete body now.

Many ordinary women live their entire lives in mediocrity, without even the ability to protect themselves. But you’re different. You can have a different kind of life.

We can’t choose our fate, but we can change it.

Whatever script the world gives us, whether good or bad, we can try our best to play it well, can’t we?”

Then Luo Sheng held Alice’s shoulders with both hands.

Looking at her seriously, he said word by word: “Alice, you need to believe that you’ve never been wrong. It’s this world that’s wrong.”

Alice stared blankly at Luo Sheng, whose eyes were full of determination.

Her eyes welled up with tears again, which flowed down her delicate face uncontrollably.

Drip, drip, they fell onto the bedding.

Then Luo Sheng continued: “No matter when, I will always be by your side, even if it means going against the entire world.”

“Thank you…”

Alice’s soft, fair arms tightly embraced Luo Sheng’s neck, her whole body leaning against him, her soft parts pressing against his chest, limp and boneless.

She kept saying:

“Thank you…”

“Thank you…”

“Thank you…”

She sobbed chokingly, tears flowing uncontrollably. Perhaps she was afraid of losing everything.

Especially when she heard that she was a weapon, and with the memories constantly replaying in her mind, she felt even more terrified.

It was as if everything before her eyes would disappear, and she would ultimately become a weapon that anyone could use.

Luo Sheng was really afraid she might crush him, but he still gently rubbed her back and said softly:

“You have to live well, after all, I picked you up. So without my permission, you can’t give up on yourself. You don’t want to see me heartbroken, do you?”

“Okay…”

Alice wiped her tears, her red nose looking very cute.

Then she said: “I want to become human.”

“You are human now,” Luo Sheng said, gently smoothing her hair.

Alice continued: “I also want to find my lost memories, especially those from before I was modified, to understand my background.”

“Then I’ll help you find them together.”

“Okay~”

Alice lay in Luo Sheng’s arms.

Looking at the sunset outside the window, she hoped time would freeze at this moment.

Luo Sheng gently combed through her hair strand by strand, softly caressing her cheeks and wiping away her tears.

Alice also tightly held his hand, allowing it to slide and knead her face continuously. Finally, she fell into a deep sleep, sleeping very sweetly. The two spent an ambiguous night like this.

The next day.

Luo Sheng felt his legs were numb and his waist was sore.

He had been a leg pillow for Alice all night, and she wasn’t still in her sleep, tightly hugging his waist as if afraid he would leave.

It almost burst Luo Sheng’s bladder, but thanks to his Card Master level, nothing serious happened.

Alice, waking up in the morning, was still as usual, cute and dazed, lazily crawling up from the bed, her white-blue hair hanging over her light pink lips, looking stupidly beautiful as she ate her hair.

The morning sunlight shone on her soft shoulders, emitting a faint halo, charming and alluring.

“Time to get up, Alice,” Luo Sheng said, massaging his waist.

“Mm.”

Alice returned to her usual dazed state.

Although she had regained many memories, due to her incomplete brain, she had cognitive deficits in certain emotional aspects, appearing silly and confused.

Luo Sheng took out the 【Era Battle Suit】, which transformed into a sky-blue form-fitting combat suit.

He placed it in front of her, “This is what I prepared for you when I came back. Try it on and see if it fits?”

“Mm.” Alice nodded.

Then she began changing clothes right in front of Luo Sheng, seemingly unconcerned about her holy light-like body.

Luo Sheng coughed awkwardly, “Ahem, why are you changing clothes here?”

He turned his head away, knowing if he looked any longer, his genes would be stirred up, and it would be hard to calm down… This girl was simply tempting him to commit a crime, asking for trouble!

Alice tilted her head and looked at Luo Sheng, puzzled, “Then where should I go to change?”

“I’m still here, so you’re exposed!”

“It doesn’t matter changing in front of you.”

“…”

Luo Sheng had never met a girl like this, perhaps her brain wasn’t working well from being a weapon for too long.

So he crawled onto the bed, staring at her with big eyes, without any reservation. But Alice still blinked, maintaining eye contact with Luo Sheng.

It wasn’t until 20 seconds later that she finally blushed and turned around to change clothes.

This reaction time…

Luo Sheng complained speechlessly, then said: “Don’t take off your clothes in front of others in the future. If you encounter a pervert, you’ll be in trouble.”

“I’ll only change in front of you.”

“That’ll do, I guess.”

Luo Sheng accepted it, after all, her combat value was off the charts, but her brain didn’t work too well. You can’t expect too much from a modified human.

When Alice, now in her new clothes, walked down from the bed and looked at herself in the full-length mirror, she said strangely: “This clothes feels weird, I feel like I’ve become one with it.”

“This Era Battle Suit can transform into various types of clothing through the user’s will,” Luo Sheng explained as he looked her over.

At this moment, Alice had transformed the Era Battle Suit into a complete set of gray-black baseball uniform style, with a form-fitting high collar, loose cargo pants below, and a white shirt under the baseball jacket.

Perhaps due to her full, plump figure, her breasts were quite prominent, bulging out, though fortunately covered by the baseball jacket.

Then Luo Sheng noticed a baseball uniform girl magazine lying on the bedside table.

Evidently, Alice had seen the magazine and transformed her outfit based on the images in it.

“Does it look good?” Alice asked.

Luo Sheng nodded, “It suits you well.”

…

Then Luo Sheng continued with his business, going downstairs and placing one old and one new mecha in front of Dr. Jack, “Can you help me improve this?”

Dr. Jack carefully examined the two sets of mecha.

One was the mecha he had been constantly modifying before, which was rather crude to use, somewhat similar to the exoskeleton of the NASDAQ Group mercenaries.

The other was a brand new mecha, with light and thin skin, very flexible joints in hands and feet, very similar to Iron Man’s suit, though of course it had its drawbacks.

The interior of the mecha was somewhat disorganized, and while the skin was sufficient to withstand conventional weapons, it would probably fall apart if hit by military-grade pulse cannons.

“It’s no problem to modify based on this set,”

Dr. Jack stroked the mecha’s skin, took apart the internal components, and examined them briefly with a magnifying glass.

A moment later, he put down his work and said in a rather regretful tone: “However, with the current technology level in the small town, we can’t modify it. We lack precision equipment and mechanical mother beds.”

“Then what should we do?”

Luo Sheng frowned. The mecha was very important to him, as it was a crucial means of survival.

Whether in the Ghostly otherworld dimension or in various battles, it could protect him from harm.

Moreover, the mecha could also enhance his own combat capabilities.

Ordinary Card Masters weren’t originally strong in combat, and even as their levels increased and their physical abilities were tempered to become more sturdy and tough, they were still weaker than card summons.

Leveling up only allowed them to use more powerful cards.

After all, Card Master = Summoner.

Dr. Jack took out his pipe, took a couple of puffs, and said: “At the nearby Melon City-State Alliance military base, they have this kind of mechanical mother bed.”
