I Will Never Submit to Miss Grim Reaper - Chapter 416

Chapter 416: Who Stains the Frosty Forest Drunk in the Morning?

 

The central area of Shenzhen City has many pedestrian streets. The one Xiao Mo and I visited is relatively secluded and loosely managed. Many low-income residents live nearby, giving it the feel of an “urban village within a pedestrian street.”

 

An urban village in a city is often located away from the bustling downtown, in a relatively remote area. Here, the cost of living is low, the environment is poor, and there are almost no dedicated managers except for a few people collecting management fees or a handful of urban management officers.

 

Some pedestrian streets may have lingering historical issues, such as residents dissatisfied with relocation compensation or those whose families have lived there for generations and are unwilling to leave despite urban development. The surrounding area is filled with people of the same surname.

 

Similarly, the urban village within the pedestrian street feels much the same.

 

Behind this small pedestrian street is the “Desolate Park.” In theory, entry is prohibited, and there are signs indicating “No Trespassing.”

 

However, bold passersby and curious children enter without anyone saying anything, as there is no gatekeeper. Its location is quite elevated, below is a road, and above is the slope leading to this abandoned park. Ordinary people have no desire to enter upon seeing it, and even if they did, finding the way in would be challenging.

 

A few years ago, some outdoor adventure streamers or idle individuals might have ventured in. Nowadays, such people are rare. Streamers have better places to go, such as the small forest in the Nanqi District.

 

As for idle individuals, they used to come here looking for food or water, but now that living conditions have improved and there are hardly any beggars in Shenzhen City, no one pays attention to such places anymore.

 

“Xiao… Xiao Mo, I don’t think this is right. Yes, this is not right.”

 

Clearly sensing that there are no living humans within a three-kilometer radius except for some small animals, I instinctively took a few steps back as someone’s face got closer and closer.

 

“This is your body… You… you can’t harm yourself, can you?”

 

Oh no, I forgot to learn lightning magic in the other world.

 

I thought to myself in a bit of a panic.

 

Xiao Mo’s body is indeed strong, but she isn’t specialized in water magic, and her water elemental talent is quite low. Previously, near the teleportation array, I tried using her body to perform “Surf” and “Walk on Waves,” but the results were far from ideal compared to using my own body.

 

I couldn’t even use the “Water Elemental Domain.”

 

As for the powerful lightning magic that Xiao Mo knows, I can’t use it at all. To me, it’s a completely unknown field.

 

“Your body… You’ve been using it for thousands of years, so you’re used to seeing it every day, right? It’s just… this, that…”

 

“……”

 

At this moment, Xiao Mo and I are sitting at the top of a slide in the center of the abandoned park.

 

This slide was originally meant for grown-ups to play on—not kids, but grown-ups with a youthful spirit. It is noticeably taller than the small slides found in ordinary residential areas, and it is not made of plastic like children’s toys. This large slide is made of metal.

 

Despite years of exposure to sun and rain wearing away most of its paint, the overall structure remains very clear and intact, making it perfectly usable for both Xiao Mo and me to play on.

 

As a large slide, the “waiting-to-slide” area at the top is particularly spacious, a metal square space with an umbrella-like structure at the top. Even during heavy rain, one could sit inside without getting splashed.

 

How do I know this? Because once, when I came here to relax, it started raining, and I had no way to get back. I had to stay inside for an entire afternoon, and not a drop of rain got in.

 

Therefore, all Xiao Mo and I need to do is clear out the fallen leaves from this space. Xiao Mo can then use my body to perform “Surf” and clean the interior, turning this place into a particularly spacious little room.

 

Xiao Mo once learned some water magic from a hero. Although her own body has low water magic talent and she only has a basic understanding of water magic, my body has a high water magic talent, allowing Xiao Mo to fully utilize her abilities.

 

The reverse doesn’t work. At least for now, I still can’t fully adapt to Xiao Mo’s body, nor can I use lightning magic.

 

I thought when she said “cuddling” it was just some role-playing game to act cute. Unexpectedly… after tidying up the small room, she actually… lay directly on top of me.

 

“What do you mean by hurting myself? I am Nuo’er now.”

 

In the warm little room, “Yin Nuo’er” on top of me smiled brightly.

 

“Nuo’er likes Sister Momo. What’s wrong with doing something to my beloved Sister Momo?”

 

The once devious smile of Xiao Mo displayed on my small face had an unusual cuteness to it for some reason.

 

“And, my dear Sister Momo.”

Xiao Mo lowered her head slightly, looking very happy. “If you think I like ‘Nuo’er’ just because of her body, you’re greatly mistaken.”

 

Alright, everything she said… is true.

 

I really shouldn’t have thought that after swapping bodies, Xiao Mo would lose her feelings for me. After all, she’s always been doing this.

 

This person has always… liked my “soul.”

 

Why do I feel a sense of déjà vu…

 

I glanced outside the window discreetly.

 

Earlier, when I took Xiao Mo to my “secret garden” in the medicinal plant garden, she pushed me down. Now that we’ve swapped bodies, I’ve brought her to my second secret base, and she pushed me down again?

 

Why do I always feel like… no matter how I struggle, I can’t escape a certain maze?

 

“Calm down…”

 

Then, “Yin Nuo’er” cornered me in the small room at the top of the slide. I looked out again at the sky, which at some point had become somewhat misty.

 

“This kind of thing is definitely weird!”

 

Xiao Mo’s body is very strong, with almost unlimited magic power. Her brain’s computational ability and the sensory abilities of her various organs are thousands of times greater than my previous body.

 

However, the problem… the “disaster” I’m currently facing doesn’t require high computational abilities to solve.

 

It’s like playing casual games like Bubble Shooter, Zuma, Tetris, and Gold Miner on a computer. An E5-level CPU and a 580 graphics card are already enough to run them. While a 13th Gen i9 processor and a 4090 graphics card can also run them perfectly, at this point, whether you can win the game or not has little to do with your computer configuration. It’s all about your ‘game proficiency’ or ‘game skill.’

 

Because these games are too simple.

 

The rules for cuddling between girls are naturally simple.

 

It’s like two lilies, each with stamens containing nectar and pollen. When a war breaks out, it comes down to which side has more nectar and pollen and who can last longer.

 

Clearly, when it comes to “fighting,” I’m no match for Xiao Mo.

 

Even if we’ve swapped bodies, due to my lack of experience in “strange matters,” it’s hard for me to gain the upper hand, and I don’t know how to handle it…

 

Previously, I naively thought that becoming Xiao Mo meant that my physical and magical abilities would be overwhelmingly superior to “Yin Nuo’er.” However… physical abilities can apparently be restrained.

 

As for magic… I currently can’t use Xiao Mo’s magic, and even if I could, I wouldn’t have the face to use offensive spells like lightning or thunder strikes directly. When Xiao Mo approaches, it’s just a “tingly, numb feeling.”

 

After all, it’s my body. If it gets hurt, when we switch back tonight, I’ll be the one suffering!

 

“Sister Momo…”

 

Suddenly, Xiao Mo leaned in close and gently exhaled by my ear.

 

“Eek!”

 

In an instant, the unique, delicate fragrance of “Yin Nuo’er,” a blend of milk scent and fruity floral petals, filled my nose, making my mind go blank as I was thinking of how to escape.

 

This girl knows too well how to use her advantages!

 

At this moment, “Yin Nuo’er” lying on top of me was like a pure white, fluffy kitten that one can’t help but want to cuddle.

 

The little kitten before me was heart-melting, with a tempting aroma surrounding her every breath and surface. Xiao Mo also extended her hands to gently press me down, her voice soft and adorable as she spoke…

 

Sight, smell, touch, and hearing… all of them were overwhelming my senses.

 

At this moment, I understood one thing—regardless of whether we switch bodies or not, in matters like this, I probably, and should, always lose to Xiao Mo.

 

If I were Yin Nuo’er, Xiao Mo would use her powerful body and abilities to make me comply. If I were Xiao Mo, she would leverage the full charm of “Yin Nuo’er” to disarm all my defenses.

 

There’s also the factor that I used to be an “uncle.”

 

Simply put, if my original gender on Earth wasn’t an uncle but an ordinary girl, even a straight girl, turning into a little girl should give me some level of resistance to other girls. However, after becoming “Yin Nuo’er,” I even get mesmerized by myself when looking in the mirror, giving Xiao Mo’s “charm” great room to work.

 

This… isn’t good.

 

In the small space at the top of the slide, I glanced at the sky outside again and instinctively said, “Um… it’s about to rain. Maybe we should… head back?”

 

Shenzhen City, being a coastal city, has unpredictable weather, and rain at any time is normal.

 

But rain on a sunny day is quite rare.

 

“Is it going to rain? That’s perfect, hehe…”

 

Xiao Mo took the hair clip out of her hair, letting her long hair flow freely. “If it rains, it’s even less likely that anyone will pass by here. No one will disturb us.”

 

Why do you always see things from such a novel perspective?

 

“I won’t let you escape, you know?”

 

Seeing me glance at the slide exit not far away, Xiao Mo climbed over again. Her slender legs, wrapped in white tights, were particularly eye-catching under her Lolita dress.

 

“You don’t want that video from Grandis to be seen by your friends or the fans in the book group, do you?”

 

Huh?

 

Even though I knew Xiao Mo’s personality and that she was just joking, and wouldn’t actually spread that video, I still felt incredibly embarrassed remembering the shameful things my body was made to say not long ago.

 

As “Yin Nuo’er” got closer, I felt like I was falling into an unbelievable, strange vortex.

 

“……”

 

The scent of water in the air gradually intensified.

 

In the sky of July, even though many clouds had drifted in and blocked the sun, the world outside was still bright.

 

It looked like today might see a “sun shower”—a phenomenon where it rains even without dark clouds.

 

“Huff, huff, huff—”

 

Near the slide in the abandoned park, there is a natural lake called “Yumian Lake,” named for its smooth surface and clear water.

 

Yumian Lake has a very flat and beautiful terrain. The surface is smooth, the water soft, and it reveals an elegant curve. Most lakes are surrounded by dense forests, but this lake has not a single wild grass around it, just a flat cobblestone path that gleams like white jade under the sun, making it particularly beautiful.

 

Above Yumian Lake are two gardens that also give a very clean and fresh feeling. The flowers in the gardens are mainly pure white, with a single cherry-red peony in the center. When a gentle breeze blows, the tallest and most alluring cherry-red peony sways slightly from side to side.

 

“Drip.”

 

Under the warm sunlight, a few raindrops fell from the sky onto the cherry-red peony. The summer wind near the rainy season also caused the tender white flowers around to sway a little, resembling the tempting jelly in a girl’s fridge. The white surface of the lake below the garden rippled slightly from the influence of this breeze.

 

To the south of the white path, a flat cobblestone road without any forest connects to the exit of this small amusement park.

 

As an abandoned amusement park, there are no strict fences or gates here. Only at the entrance is there a small fountain.

 

Previously, visitors wanting to enter the park needed to buy tickets at the ticket office near the small fountain, surrounded by small flags, but now these flags have long been blown away by the wind, leaving only the quiet fountain at the entrance, giving a lonely and mysterious feeling.

 

The design at the center of the small fountain is a small spherical ball enclosed. The fountain itself has an elliptical structure. Perhaps because no one has tended to the surrounding landscape for a long time, or because of recent terrain collapses, a fine crack has appeared in its marble floor, hardly noticeable without careful observation.

 

“Splash, splash…”

 

Rain gradually started falling from the sky. The summer wind stirred the entire abandoned park into motion, and rain poured down along the gardens and lake, covering the once dry fountain with a layer of moisture.

 

“Gurgle, gurgle…”

 

Several unknown birds passed by, landing under the spherical ball in the center of the fountain, seemingly seeking shelter from the rain. They took a few sips of fountain water, squinting their eyes, their expressions as if telling passersby how sweet the dew here is.

 

“Splash, splash…”

 

After drinking the water, the birds spread their wings and fluttered rapidly, causing the surrounding rain curtains to shake along with them.

 

“Plop, plop.”

 

The birds’ wing movements grew faster and faster, and the rain from the sky became heavier. From a distance, it looked as though the fountain was splashing water outward.

 

Moreover, because it was raining under clear skies, a beautiful rainbow soon appeared above the garden. These rainbows were like a pair of beautiful stockings, hanging in the air near the fountain but at a distance, sparking endless imagination.

 

“Splash, splash…”

 

Gradually, the world was enveloped by rain. The increasing downpour blurred the entire park.

 

“……”

 

Over an hour later, I opened my eyes inside the small square space above the slide. I glanced outside to see the world had cleared up again.

 

Xiao Mo was already asleep in my arms, her small head resting on my thigh, curled up, breathing peacefully, with a relaxed expression. She looked like a little hedgehog, as if she were having sweet dreams.

 

At this moment, my body wasn’t in great shape—soft, as if I had just engaged in vigorous exercise.

 

“So, I guess I won?”

 

I lowered my head and subconsciously rubbed Xiao Mo’s fair cheek. Despite “Yin Nuo’er’s” endurance being quite good, it was still too much compared to Xiao Mo. Plus, I hadn’t rested before, so her feeling tired now was normal.

 

Although… I also paid a painful price.

 

I adjusted my slightly disheveled skirt to keep Xiao Mo resting against my thigh, took out my phone, and clicked to capture a photo.

 

From this angle, I could capture the adorable sleeping face of “Yin Nuo’er.” Xiao Mo’s Lolita dress was predominantly black, matching her black stockings, while “Yin Nuo’er” leaned towards pink.

 

The photo I took had a vibe of “a pink-themed girl resting on her sister’s thigh,” and also felt like… two beautiful Lolita enthusiasts appearing on the scene.

 

Since we were both dressed up and Xiao Mo looked so cute in the photo, I felt it was worth sharing.

 

I opened Xiao Mo’s phone editing app, lightly beautified the picture, then opened a social media site and posted it with the caption. “This time, victory is mine.”

 

Although it’s a bit teasing towards Xiao Mo, who let her mess around earlier?

 

Since I woke up first, that means I won.

 

After saving the post, seeing that “Yin Nuo’er” on my thigh hadn’t opened her eyes yet, I took out my phone, opened Tongmeng Net, turned on mute, and casually searched for a few videos of “Age of Aquarius.”

 

Hmm… as expected, this game is really popular lately.

 

“Age of Aquarius” is currently one of the most discussed games, mainly because it employs cutting-edge AI technology in almost every aspect. Wormhole travel, alien planet layouts, and NPC body types and faces are all generated by AI. Even some special items, equipment, and weapons are AI-controlled.

 

One of the most surprising aspects for players is that almost all important NPCs can be considered intelligent AIs, and all data about interactions with these NPCs are stored directly on the national server backend.

 

For example, in my game ID “Jialan Nuo’er,” after just having my face sculpted by Jia Bairui and the others, some NPCs we’ve interacted with already know about this.

 

Like some of the grocery store NPCs in the city center, normally when we approach them, there are options to buy or sell items, and there’s a dedicated “dialogue” section.

 

This “dialogue” can select from preset system content, or you can input your own, or even, like Jiang Wei and the others, directly voice input, and the grocery store NPC will respond based on what you say, just like having a conversation with an intelligent robot.

 

What’s even scarier is that every day, the content of your conversation with this NPC is recorded. For example, if on the first day you ask him, “Do you sell goldfish here?” and the NPC says no, if you ask again on the second day, the NPC will still say no.

 

If you ask again on the third day, the NPC will respond strangely, saying something like, “I sell potions here, not goldfish,” and the system backend will clearly remember, “This player asked three times if we sell goldfish.” By the fourth time you visit the NPC, he might even preemptively respond:

 

“Oh, my dear God, look who’s here, my lovely Jialan Nuo’er, I mean… I remember you, yes, your outfit is as beautiful as Mr. Tom next door’s garden, but I must regretfully inform you, we do not sell goldfish here, yes, I swear, we don’t.”

 

Even by the fifth day, sixth day, a week, or a month later, this NPC will still remember you:

 

“Look, isn’t this Miss Jialan Nuo’er who has been here for four consecutive days asking if we sell goldfish? Have you had any luck finding your goldfish?”

 

This makes many players who have played this game quite panicked, thinking that the game’s technology is too advanced. However, I personally think it’s quite good this way.

 

Even in games released before “Age of Aquarius,” theoretically, technology could achieve this. Whatever day, month, or year you log in, everything you do after logging in is recorded—when you draw cards, how many slimes you kill in a month, late nights playing alone, critical hits during slime battles, the damage dealt during critical hits… Even mobile games record these data clearly. For today’s game companies, recording what you say to NPCs is no difficulty at all.

 

Analyzing and interpreting the recorded content with intelligent robots and then “responding” is straightforward. As a game directly managed by the Sankyo City government, it certainly has to be “special.”

 

“Mm…”

Inside the slide, I passed the time for half an hour with Xiao Mo’s phone, watching videos of ‘Age of Aquarius’. “Yin Nuo’er” in my arms woke up quietly.

 

“I just… drifted off and fell asleep. Yin Nuo’er’s stamina is still a bit weak.”

 

Upon waking up, Xiao Mo yawned widely. “What time is it now?”

 

I gestured towards the sun beginning to set outside. “It’s four thirty in the afternoon.”

 

“Ah… it’s already this time.”

 

Xiao Mo got up, saying, “Sorry, I was just too sleepy so…”

 

“It’s okay. If you’re still tired, you can sleep a little longer.”

 

I took out my phone and showed her the photo I had just taken. “I’ve already taken it. This time, you lost.”

 

“I lost?”

Xiao Mo paused for a moment, then realized what I meant. “No way, silly Loli. The photo clearly shows that it’s Nuo’er who lost.”

 

My brain felt a bit overwhelmed. “Huh?”

 

“Even though you’re Xiao Mo now, we only swapped bodies for a day, remember? Once today’s over, you’ll be Nuo’er again.”

 

Xiao Mo stretched lazily. “Tonight when we switch back, the photo will show Nuo’er being cuddled by Xiao Mo. You didn’t post it on our timeline, did you?”

 

“It’s getting late. Let’s pack up and head back.”

 

“Back to Moon Orchid Island, to Grandis to switch our bodies back.”

 

“……”

 

……
