Dimensional Codex System: I'm really not a cultist!

Chapter 925: Chapter 924: A Veteran Driver Never Loses Control

For a moment, the atmosphere was a bit awkward.

Eiriri widened her eyes, staring at Fang Zheng, but the next moment, she quickly reacted.

Why did I say something like that?

Thinking of this, Eiriri’s face couldn’t help but flush. The reason she spoke out of spite earlier was partly due to Fang Zheng’s comforting words suddenly inciting her outburst. After all, anyone can say these things, but she was heartbroken; how could she talk nonsense like that so irresponsibly?

Eiriri herself has a fiery temper, and hearing Fang Zheng speaking so nonchalantly, she suddenly got heated and retorted.

Now that she’s calmed down, she realizes she might have been a bit thoughtless earlier.

”Um... I am...”

”Alright.”

However, before Eiriri’s words could take shape, she saw Fang Zheng nod decisively. Hearing Fang Zheng’s response, Eiriri was stunned.

”Huh? Mr. Fang Zheng... What do you mean?”

”It’s exactly what I said. If you confess to me, then of course, I’ll agree to you.”

”Eh... Eh eh eh?!!”

Upon hearing this, Eiriri froze momentarily, then suddenly screamed and jumped up, her twin golden ponytails swinging with her motion.

”Wh-why did you agree!”

”Didn’t I say earlier? With your qualities, anyone you confess to is sure to be easy to win over.”

Fang Zheng spread his hands and shrugged.

”If a beautiful and lively girl like you confesses to me, then of course, I have no reason to reject you, right? But there’s something I must say to you in advance.”

”...What is it?”

Faced with Fang Zheng’s unconventional response, Eiriri felt her mind go dizzy, not knowing how to react.

”If you really confess to me, then of course I will accept. But I also need to remind you, Eiriri, I do indeed like you, and I am willing to accept your confession. However, I can’t only like you alone, and I’m not afraid to tell you that there are several women around me, all with very close relationships with me. So if you really decide to do this, I hope you understand this.”

”...”

Faced with Fang Zheng’s forthright statement, Eiriri found herself momentarily at a loss for words, staring blankly at Fang Zheng, her mind in chaos.

”Mr. Fang Zheng, are you talking about Miss Ester and Miss Restia?”

”Hmm... those two are different; they are very vital to me, but it’s not quite the way you think.”

”I don’t quite understand what you mean...”

Originally, Eiriri should have been angry by this point, but Fang Zheng’s twists and turns left her not knowing what to say.

”Miss Ester did say that Mr. Fang Zheng, you have several girlfriends, but... she said they are all in another world...”

”Literally, that’s indeed correct, but reality is not as simple as you think.”

Saying this, Fang Zheng smiled slightly, then stood up.

”So you see, you don’t know much about me, and I’m definitely not the most devoted man. In this situation, if you want to confess to me, you need to consider it more carefully.”

While saying this, Fang Zheng held Yui’s hand.

”Alright, we should head back... You should return to the base soon too, Eiriri. The customized new weapons for you all have arrived; I think you’ll be very interested.”

After saying this, Fang Zheng led Yui towards the other side of the plaza towards the Teleportation Crystal, while Eiriri stood there dazed, watching his back.

Indeed, just as Fang Zheng said, she knew nothing about him. Since entering this game until now, Eiriri and Fang Zheng had spent not a short time together, and she thought she understood Fang Zheng quite a bit. For instance, she knew he was gentle, knowledgeable, and charismatic; someone trustworthy and reliable.

Eiriri originally believed she understood enough about Fang Zheng, but after hearing Fang Zheng’s words, she was surprised to find that she only knew him in this game world.

So what kind of person is he in reality?

Eiriri was utterly clueless, even though over such a long time, they all had some understanding of their companions. They knew that Asuna is a young lady, Black Cat has a poor family with two sisters, Gabriel has a foolish friend named Satania, Leafa’s family runs a Kendo dojo, and she’s earned rankings in competitions.

But as for Fang Zheng’s situation in reality, no one knew anything. What he does in the real world, why he came into this game world, who he has in his family, and his relationships with Ester and Restia... Eiriri knew nothing at all.

In fact, not only her but probably the other members of the Dark Moon Sword Guild were equally unaware of these matters.

”Hmph, what, obviously he’s such a playboy, yet he has me make choices. For a man like this, I...”

Stomping her foot angrily, Eiriri bit her lip, sulkingly complaining, but her voice gradually softened.

”...I...”

If that person was also a playboy like him, perhaps... I’d still have a chance.

However, that’s already impossible.

”Hmph!”

Eiriri tossed her head, following Fang Zheng’s shadow, towards the Teleportation Crystal.

When Fang Zheng returned to the base again, the others had already received messages from him and were eagerly waiting in the guild’s plaza.

”You’re back, Mr. Fang Zheng!”

Seeing Fang Zheng and Yui, Yuki was the first to rush over, just like a puppy seeing its owner come home, circling around Fang Zheng.

”You’re back, where’s our weapon? Where’s the weapon?”

”Of course, they’ve been prepared long ago.”

Looking at the eager Yuki who behaved like a puppy begging to be fed, Fang Zheng laughed and smiled, then he opened the item list and selected a trade, and immediately, a unique longsword appeared in Fang Zheng’s hand.

”Oh oh oh oh!!”

Seeing the longsword, Yuki shouted excitedly. It was a Two-Headed Sword, with the front styled as a Western Sword, and a Dagger attached behind the hilt.

”It’s called Luoyang, and it’s your weapon.”

Fang Zheng handed the Two-Headed Sword to Yuki and pointed to the sword’s body.

”As you can see, it can detach from the middle, becoming two swords, which I think suits your Dual-Wielding.”

When clearing the twenty-fifth floor, Yuki acquired her exclusive Skill, Dual-Wielding, which means she can use two single-handed weapons to unleash Sword Skills. However, Yuki hadn’t found any suitable weapons until now, when Fang Zheng finally eased her concern.

”Oh oh oh oh!!”

Receiving Luoyang, Yuki excitedly swung it, then she held the hilt firmly as Fang Zheng instructed and pulled with force. With a ”click” sound, Yuki’s Two-Headed Sword transformed into a long and short sword. Holding the Dual Sword tightly, she faced forward, and suddenly sword radiance sparked from both swords in her hands...

Skill Release!

”Starburst Stream Slash!”

Following Yuki’s shout, dozens of dazzling sword lights exploded, engulfing everything in front of her. At that moment, everyone could only see the brilliant glow of the sword and the sweeping ground wave surging like a tide.

”Whoosh!”

After the final strike, Yuki stopped, and around her, specks of starlight gradually descended.

”Amazing!!”

This prompted Aoba to clap excitedly, and others joined to applaud as well. Yuki also retracted her sword, happily leaping at Fang Zheng.

”Thank you, Mr. Fang Zheng! This sword is amazing!!”

”As long as you like it.”

Patting Yuki’s head, Fang Zheng smiled slightly, then looked at Shinong standing among the crowd.

”Shinong, your weapon has also been sorted out.”
