Chapter 113: The Qipao Incident

Following the safe return of the conservative religious leader, the reformist and conservative factions entered into negotiations.

Immediately after, Princess Marina and Masud Rachmadi jointly issued a speech to the entire nation, requesting everyone to set aside their disputes and restore national peace and social stability.

Although unrest still occurred within Azadistan, generally speaking, no large-scale civil war had broken out, and the situation was gradually developing in a positive direction.

It could be said that in the series of actions that followed, this conservative religious leader displayed unexpected energy and skill, helping Princess Marina stabilize the domestic situation.

With this, the series of events in the Azadistan Kingdom concluded.

The system determined that the civil war in the Azadistan Kingdom did not fully erupt; the Celestial Being faction mission was successfully completed, and Li Boyong received five plot points and fifty points of Celestial Being reputation.

As for the plot mission, because the construction of the solar power receiving station was not yet complete, Li Boyong had not yet received the reward. However, now that the situation was gradually stabilizing, Li Boyong believed that the safe completion of the station would not be a major problem.

However, the combat mission was a complete failure; he failed to shoot down Ali Al-Saachez's Enact. Fortunately, this mission failure did not deduct any points.

The gains were barely acceptable, but it seemed that ever since arriving in the Gundam 00 world, no matter how many missions were completed, the system had not unlocked any new functions.

This made Li Boyong somewhat depressed...

What is this?

Back in the SEED world, was it just bullying me for being a newbie, making me dig out every single function stingily?

It even gave me a character panel that was half-pixelated.

Now that the system has upgraded, it's all-in-one, but aside from clearer mission categorization, I haven't seen any new functions at all?

This system is still toxic...

Human Reform League, Wang Family Mansion.

Li Boyong, having nothing to do, complained about the system while continuing to study it.

While flipping through it, he suddenly discovered that at some point, Wang Liumei had already appeared on the character intimacy page.

"Hiss... how is that possible?"

This black-bellied loli has 67 intimacy points?

Li Boyong felt his scalp tingle; impossible, impossible, and he could even view this black-bellied loli's various attributes...

Speaking of which, this person isn't even a pilot, what kind of attributes could she have?

Since he was idle anyway, Li Boyong took a casual look.

Wang Liumei (Natural)

Combat: 37

Shooting: 28

Reaction: 56

Will: 78

Skills: Information Gathering (Increases search capability when a warship member, provides information gathering capability when acting alone)

Agent Leader (Increases information coordination capability)

Business Genius (Extremely strengthens business capability)

Born Noble (Can obtain a sum of initial funds upon arriving in each world)

Head of the Family (Strengthens organizational leadership capability)

Title: Witch Who Plays with Money (Strengthens bribery capability using money)

Li Boyong: "???"

What the hell?

Aside from Will, this person is basically weak as hell, but why do these skills look so overpowered? And the points required for recruitment are actually as high as 31, meaning the system implicitly values her more than Shihe?

But it's too expensive...

Li Boyong thought to himself, I, Li Boyong, would rather starve to death, have no money to spend, and end up homeless than recruit her, Wang Liumei.

Just kidding, recruit this person and let her stick to Shihe like a super lightbulb?

Wouldn't it be better to spend those thirty-something points to learn a 'Spatial Awareness' skill?

Why would I recruit you?

But why does the recruitment option show that it can be attempted?

Although I have enough saved points, theoretically, the intimacy isn't enough, right?

Li Boyong checked the system page again and discovered that the intimacy between Wang Liumei and Shihe had reached a staggering 87.

So, if someone's intimacy with their follower reaches the recruitment condition, one can also perform recruitment.

But these are not the main points; the point is, why does this black-bellied loli have such high intimacy with Shihe?

This young lady is definitely a lesbian, right? Hey?

Unfortunately, Wang Liumei is not.

Just as Li Boyong was silently checking the system in the hall, Wang Liumei invited Shihe to visit her boudoir for the first time.

"This is..."

Shihe was very surprised to see her own photo in Wang Liumei's room...

No, that's not right, it's a photo of a woman who looks very similar to her, because the woman in the photo is wearing a dignified and graceful cyan qipao, and she has never worn such clothing before.

"Hehe, Sister Shihe is surprised, right?"

Wang Liumei approached Shihe from behind and whispered: "Actually, the first time I saw you, Sister Shihe, I was also a bit surprised. Clearly, when looking at your military ID photo, I didn't feel anything, why did I feel you were so similar after meeting in person..."

"The one in the photo is my mother."

"When I was eight years old, she committed suicide..."

So that was it; only then did Shihe understand why Wang Liumei would stick to her so much and why she would treat her specially.

Yes...

The girl behind her has indeed always appeared shrewd and mature; she is the head of a major financial conglomerate, and she is also an excellent intelligence agent for Celestial Being, but she is really only fifteen years old.

She is even a Natural...

A fifteen-year-old Coordinator might be considered mature, but the girl behind her clearly is not...

With a faint sigh, Shihe turned around and hugged Wang Liumei: "I don't know what to say at this time, but I hope this can comfort you."

Wang Liumei also hugged Shihe, buried her face in Shihe's chest and rubbed it, then burst into a giggle. She looked at Shihe with somewhat crafty eyes, stuck out her tongue and said: "Sister Shihe, you are really too kind. If Li Boyong were here, he would definitely scold me for using acting to gain favor and sympathy."

"Liumei..."

"Haha, Sister Shihe, don't be so sad." Wang Liumei let go of Shihe. "Inviting you to my room specifically really isn't to sell you on my misery. It's just purely to invite you to sit, and by the way, talk about some past events."

"Come, let's sit on the bed together, I'll show you some photos."

Wang Liumei pulled Shihe and smiled.

"Okay."

The two held hands and sat on the bed. Wang Liumei took out an album, and while flipping through it, told Shihe about some past events.

A pair of siblings born to a mistress, what kind of suffering they experienced in their childhood, and what kind of heaven-sent luck it was that the younger sister actually became the heir to the Wang family.

After becoming the heir, what kind of harsh education she experienced before finally being able to become the head of the family at the age of fifteen after the family head died.

"So that's it, so Hong Long is actually your brother."

After hearing Wang Liumei's story, Shihe sighed: "It's just that he wasn't chosen, so he couldn't get the Wang surname, and he couldn't even call you sister; he could only accompany you as a bodyguard."

"Alright, my story is finished." Wang Liumei blinked playfully at Shihe. "Sister Shihe, can you grant me a selfish request?"

At this time, Shihe's sympathy was overflowing, so naturally, she wouldn't refuse.

"Okay!"

In the living room downstairs, Li Boyong, who was flipping through the system, suddenly discovered that the intimacy between Wang Liumei and Shihe had suddenly increased by two points, and it seemed there was a trend of further increase.

"What's going on?"

Li Boyong was a bit panicked; he grabbed Hong Long who was passing by: "Have you seen Shihe?"

"Miss Hafunis?" Hong Long replied: "The young lady invited her to play in her boudoir..."

Before Hong Long finished speaking, Li Boyong had already stomped upstairs.

"Open the door, Wang Liumei, open the door for me!"

He walked quickly to Wang Liumei's room and knocked hard on the door. At this moment, he was as angry as a husband who had caught his wife in bed.

"What's the matter?"

After a long while, Wang Liumei's voice came from inside, sounding a bit breathless.

Li Boyong continued to smash the door: "Open the door for me."

"Wait a moment, it's not convenient right now."

Wang Liumei shouted.

"What's not convenient? Let Shihe answer me."

Li Boyong said angrily.

"Ah-Yong, Liumei is helping me comb my hair, wait a moment."

What?

Doing hair?

Li Boyong's face turned green; he kept knocking on the door desperately, and finally, in a fit of rage, he simply started kicking the door.

"Mr. Li Boyong, what happened?" Hong Long heard the commotion and came to Li Boyong's side to ask.

Although he didn't know what Li Boyong was making a scene about again, he guessed it was probably being played by Liumei again.

So even though his young lady's boudoir door was being banged on, he had no intention of stopping it at all.

Anyway, this door couldn't be broken so easily...

Li Boyong kept making a scene, and after a while, it seemed that the people inside really couldn't take it anymore, and finally opened the door for Li Boyong.

Before Wang Liumei could open the door, Li Boyong rushed in.

Then he saw a qipao beauty standing quietly by the vanity mirror; who else could it be but Shihe?

"Ah-Yong, why did you come in?" Shihe looked shy, seemingly unaccustomed to the clothes, so she appeared a bit fidgety. "What's the matter, being in such a hurry?"

"You really never know what a gentleman is. Just now, I was helping Sister Shihe put up her hair at a critical moment; couldn't you wait a little bit?"

Wang Liumei complained: "What is so urgent? Is there any urgent intelligence?"

"This..."

Li Boyong looked at Shihe's hair tied up in a bun, and suddenly didn't know what to say...

He couldn't say that he discovered the intimacy between the two of you suddenly increased, and then rushed up here fearing his girlfriend would be turned into a lesbian, right?

Speaking of which, you two hid in the room and wore a qipao, and that increased intimacy?

Are you sick?

And why are you panting while putting up hair? Is it that strenuous?

"This is..."

Hong Long also followed into the room. He was stunned after seeing the qipao on Shihe, and then felt relieved.

"Aha!" Wang Liumei saw Li Boyong's dumbfounded expression and seemed to guess something. She revealed a crafty expression and said to Li Boyong: "So you..."

Li Boyong felt nervous, suspecting that the matter of his girlfriend being turned into a lesbian could not possibly be exposed in front of Shihe, right?

She looked at the nervousness and pleading in Li Boyong's eyes, closed her mouth, and then gave a 'you know' expression.

This... is this a PY transaction?

Li Boyong helplessly gave an 'OK' look.

Wang Liumei skipped this part, ran to Shihe's side, and exclaimed: "Sister Shihe is so beautiful, Li Boyong, what do you think?"

"Mm-hmm, my Shihe is the most beautiful."

Li Boyong nodded frantically. ===== CHAPTER 114 =====
