Chapter 307: DEBUFF

“Pfft!!”

Li Ang, who was drinking goat milk, couldn't hold it in and choked.

The sudden confession stunned Zhong Yi and the bullet comments in the live stream.

“Damn it, this bad woman is toying with us again!”

“First, she’s not bad; second, she’s a girl!”

“All she does is tease the repressed old man.”

“Actually, it’s normal... You have to understand, Su Di’er practically had no fatherly love growing up.”

“Li Ang, you must keep yourself in check!”

“Old Zhong, you must keep yourself in check too!!”

...Li Ang awkwardly wiped the goat milk that had spilled all over him.

Lying on the bed, Su Di’er continued with a serious expression, “This is the first time I’ve fallen in love with someone.”

“Since you’ve never been in a relationship, how do you know this is love?”

Li Ang’s face was beet red, his tongue almost tied in knots.

“Because... I feel it.”

Su Di’er declared confidently.

“Feel it? Where?”

Li Ang was puzzled.

Su Di’er slightly lifted the hem of her clothes and caressed her lower abdomen with her palm.

“In my stomach...”

“It feels very warm here.”

“I used to always feel a knot in my stomach, but not anymore.”

The sunlight spilled onto the girl’s delicate cheek, making her as beautiful as a painting.

Li Ang was stunned for a long time before slowly shaking his head, “Su Di’er, I’m glad your stomach problems are cured, but I don’t think that means anything.”

With that, before Su Di’er could respond, he stood up.

“I’m going to be late, and I hate being late.”

He put on the black jacket he only wore when executing assassin missions and picked up the satchel filled with various assassination tools.

This meant he was going out to perform an assassination mission.

And a very dangerous one at that.

Li Ang walked to the door, let out a heavy breath, then leaned against the wall with a complex expression.

This was the first ❀ Nоvеlігht ❀ (Don’t copy, read here) time Zhong Yi had seen Li Ang look so conflicted.

Just then, the movie screen slowly froze, and the camera slowly shifted.

Zhong Yi regained control of his body.

“Mission updated.”

“Main Mission: Go to the mission objective point and execute the assassination mission (Difficulty: Hard).”

Looking at the mission prompt in the upper right corner, Zhong Yi’s heart was filled with mixed emotions, his attention not on it at all.

“No, I need to talk to Su Di’er and make things clear...”

Zhong Yi was about to turn and go back inside to lecture Su Di’er, but his body froze in place.

“Behavior Score -20 (Li Ang does not want to discuss this matter right now, please focus on the mission!)”

Seeing his behavior score gradually turn red, Zhong Yi had no choice but to give up.

He picked up his weapon bag and silently hurried towards the mission point... A mission with “Hard” difficulty was generally quite challenging.

Fortunately, Zhong Yi had taken on many missions to improve his assassin Rank to lay a good foundation for Su Di’er.

At this time, his panel attributes, skill Ranks, and weapon quality were all at a relatively high level.

Dealing with “Hard” missions was more than enough.

However, just as he was checking his preparations for the mission, he suddenly noticed something was wrong.

Li Ang’s panel attributes... had dropped significantly!

All of them had a downward arrow!

Zhong Yi looked closer and saw that Li Ang currently had a 【Distracted】 DEBUFF.

No need to think, it must have been caused by Su Di’er’s sudden confession.

“A focused assassin can no longer stay focused...”

Zhong Yi smiled bitterly and shook his head.

He could understand this situation.

It was like some Cultivators who Cultivated the ruthless Dao, advocating for severing all Destiny, otherwise it would be difficult to concentrate on seeking the Dao.

“No choice, the mission still has to be done...”

Zhong Yi began to study the mission dungeon... A dungeon at “Hard” difficulty was indeed somewhat challenging for players.

Even more so when in a negative state.

In addition, during the fight, Li Ang’s voice would appear in the player’s ears.

‘Su Di’er, why...’

‘Her? Love? No, no...’

‘Li Ang, stay focused!’

‘She’s still waiting for me to come home...’

...Lu Ze skillfully used the inner voice to make players experience Li Ang’s inner struggle.

Of course, for Zhong Yi, it was a struggle for survival.

Slower movement speed, reduced reaction speed, increased spell cast recovery time... and distracting character monologues.

Under the influence of multiple DEBUFFs, Zhong Yi restarted the dungeon countless times.

Of course, even with better operation, it was useless.

Even Illusion Realm masters like Zhou Yue and Li Mozhan would inevitably suffer almost fatal damage during the final BOSS segment.

This was a plot kill.

After much hardship, Zhong Yi finally defeated the BOSS.

By this time, two full days had passed in the Illusion Realm.

“I wonder if the little one has been diligently Cultivating at home...”

As he walked out of the mission dungeon, Zhong Yi’s first thought was of Su Di’er.

Unbeknownst to him, he had become so concerned about Su Di’er’s image.

“Mission updated.”

“Main Mission: Buy a gift for Su Di’er.”
