Chapter 639: Lanchi and Talia Make an Appearance
"But consider this, my spiritual attribute growth is extremely high. By the time I reach the eighth rank, I'll be the one boosting your attributes. It's like lending me some of your spirit now, and I'll repay you with interest later." Lanchi explained to her.
He continued to analyze, "Talia's attributes are well-balanced, with high growth rates across the board. In short, she's a super soldier. When it comes to magic, Talia only excels in spiritual interference and curse retaliation. It's a simple mechanism that is easily countered, despite having a numerical value."
This was in contrast to the Poet of Great Love, who had powerful mechanics but lacked numerical values.
As for Lanchi, he possessed both strong mechanics and high values, making him a triple threat.
"So, do you want to wear this bracelet?" Talia asked, appraising him.
The beauty of magic card-type jewelry was that it could be hidden in one's soul space and didn't need to be worn at all times, preventing others from discovering it.
"Setting aside whether I want to or not, you definitely wouldn't want to," Lanchi shook his head and spread his hands, walking out of the award center. "This card would only bring you negative effects."
"... "
The Cat Boss felt that these two were not considering his willingness at all. Instead, they kept probing each other's intentions.
"Just tell me if this bracelet is useful to you or not," Talia said, her voice turning colder.
Although she felt that Lanchi was thinking impolite thoughts again, she didn't care as much anymore as long as he didn't say them out loud. Otherwise, she wouldn't bother arresting him.
"Of course, it's useful. It can increase my spiritual attribute by ten to twenty percent," Lanchi replied honestly, sensing Talia's imposing manner.
"I'm lending you my attribute, and you'll have to return it to me later. I only agreed to this exchange because I know you have important responsibilities. Otherwise, I wouldn't have agreed to wear a matching piece of jewelry with you," Talia murmured, putting away the bracelet.
This caused Lanchi to pause briefly. He hadn't expected Talia to be willing to make such a deal.
Soon, a cunning smile reappeared on his face. "Hehehe, once my spiritual attribute surpasses yours, I'll unbind it."
Lanchi said with a mischievous smile, his eyes narrowed at Talia.
"You're not allowed to unbind it! Keep it bound until death, and you owe me interest!" Talia glared at him, pointing at his forehead.
And so, they continued walking while bickering.
The massive stone archway of the Golden Bee Amusement Park was adorned with countless sparkling jewels, emitting a faint glow in the night, like mystical fairy lights guiding visitors forward.
Celebratory fireworks continued to bloom sporadically above their heads.
The two of them bought candied apples coated with syrup as a snack.
Suddenly, a loud bang tore through the peaceful night sky, followed by a series of continuous explosions. Half the horizon seemed illuminated by the colorful lights, which then fell like meteor showers, blending into the starry night sky before darkness returned.
As if remembering something, Lanchi suddenly stopped walking, his palm facing upward as he extended a fist toward Talia.
"By the way, this is for you," he said.
Talia looked at him quizzically as he slowly opened his palm, but it was empty.
"Are you playing a trick on me?" She frowned and asked.
Lanchi nodded.
Just as Talia was about to get angry, Lanchi turned his palm downward and, like a magician, pulled out a semi-transparent white card from thin air. As he presented it to Talia again, it had transformed into a hand-held doll.
It was a cute little demon doll with gray hair and golden eyes, a playful version of the Poet of Great Love.
[Talia Doll]
[Category: Summoning Card]
[Grade: White Common]
[Attribute: Spirit]
[Class: 3]
[Effect: Aside from looking cute, it doesn't have much use, but it can improve one's mood.]
[Note: Happy birthday.]
"I was planning to give this to you tomorrow, but since I ran into you here, I might as well give it to you now," Lanchi said, his figure illuminated by the fireworks in the sky. He smiled gently.
"... "
Talia looked at Lanchi, touched and with a complicated expression.
So this brat actually remembered her birthday.
She wanted to tell him that she didn't really want his gift because she didn't know how to calculate the cost, but at that moment, she felt that this gift was especially satisfying.
"Thank you," Talia said, taking the little doll from Lanchi's hand and inclining her head slightly in gratitude.
"Uh." Lanchi was at a loss for words as he looked at her.
So Talia could indeed look like a princess.
"I am a princess," Talia asserted, lifting her gaze to meet Lanchi's eyes.
Lanchi instinctively took half a step back.
"What's the point of this doll?"
Talia stopped paying attention to Lanchi and flipped the doll over, examining it with a puzzled expression.
She recalled that during the Card Master Registration Exam, Lanchi had made a White Card called [Little Love Doll] that was also a third-grade card.
Its effect was to mildly seal and weaken the target's emotions through song, calming their minds. It had some use, albeit limited.
But this card didn't even have an effect.
"What's the point of it? I'm also looking for an answer."
Lanchi covered his mouth as if he had just thought of something delightful, his shoulders shaking with laughter.
"Are you hinting at something?"
Talia fixed her gaze on Lanchi, moving a little closer, her bright golden irises boring into him.
"Nope."
Lanchi blinked innocently.
He even tilted his head fifteen degrees to the side, looking utterly guileless.
"Hmph!"
Talia was amused by his shamelessness.
However, she was starting to figure out how to deal with Lanchi.
She inched a little closer and whispered in his ear, mimicking the voice of the Poet of Great Love, "Thank you, big brother Lanchi."
Her voice was sickeningly sweet and gentle.
"..."
Lanchi was instantly petrified, his expression frozen in place.
Then he shivered, hugging himself as goosebumps erupted all over his body.
"Ahhh, just kill me now!"
He felt his brain trembling.
Even Cat Boss felt the ride becoming unstable and jumped to the ground.
"Meow."
It was the first time Cat Boss had seen Lanchi so thoroughly defeated.
He seemed truly disgusted, his whole body reacting as if there were insects crawling on him.
It wasn't exactly disgust, though. The feeling was hard to describe—a mix of shock and discomfort.
"Try annoying me again and see what happens."
Talia recalled what she had just said, feeling a bit embarrassed herself, but seeing the profound effect it had on Lanchi made it worth it.
"Ahhh!"
Lanchi clutched his head, unable to get Talia's voice out of his ear, like a magical curse repeating endlessly in his mind.
After some time, the two of them finally calmed down, maintaining a certain distance as they walked towards the exit of Golden Bee Amusement Park.
"Are you two just going to head back now?"
Cat Boss looked at the projection map of the amusement park and asked.
"What else should we do?"
The two of them countered, looking at the cat.
"Since you're already here, why not spend some time playing in the Golden Bee Amusement Park? Otherwise, your entrance tickets will have been a waste."
The little black cat glanced meaningfully at the direction of the Love Hindrance Corridor Academy's activity stage.
"Plus, aren't the two of you wanting to spend time together? It's rare to see you two so happy."
"Who wants to?"
The two of them glared at Cat Boss in rebuttal.
"Don't you?"
The little black cat didn't back down this time. Instead, it drew closer, its voice stretching out, its shadow elongating on the ground like a massive black tiger.
"Talia, I won't be making your supper tonight."
Cat Boss said to Talia, then turned to Lanchi.
"And Lanchi, there's no food left at your place. Tonight, you just hastily ate a couple of bites of a sandwich before rushing off to work. Talia, can I trouble you to take Lanchi out for a meal?"
"Um..."
Talia hesitated.
"Alright then, I'm off! Meow!"
Cat Boss strolled away with cheerful steps.
The two of them stood on the path, an unusual silence falling between them, as if neither knew what to say.
Until Cat Boss's figure completely disappeared from view.
They became even more aware that it was just the two of them.
The silence was becoming awkward.
"These Golden Bee Coins should be enough for us to spend."
Lanchi took out the points card he had received from the activity administrator, speaking to himself.
They had earned a total of 196 Golden Bee Coins from a single activity.
"If it's not enough, you'll have to play games with me until I'm full."
Talia didn't look at him as she replied.
"Then let's go."
Lanchi smiled with relief, a relaxed expression on his face.
It was as if ripples had been cast upon the silent night sky, and the fireworks blossomed once more.
The firmament transformed into a vast canvas, the stars like countless sparkling jewels embedded in the depths of the night.
On such a midsummer night, the two of them walked down the path, and all their worries seemed to be blown away by the cool evening breeze.
