"Level 999?"
At this moment, not only was the Elf Race beauty Xiya watching from the side incredulous, but even the easily trusting little girl Yuri didn't believe Lynn's words.
After all, the most powerful Saint Emperor of Light on the entire Divine Protection Continent was only a level 750 Divine Mage. In the Continent Alliance occupying one and a half continents, there hasn't been anyone reaching level 800. Lynn's self-introduction claiming he is 26 years old is even less believable.
"Of course, I am more than capable of being your mentor."
Lynn habitually wanted to pat his breastplate, but instead, his hand landed on his chest clad in coarse cloth. Though it appeared more genuine this way, pounding his chest till it hurt was still quite uncomfortable.
Wait! Uncomfortable? I'm a gaming character with pain perception set at 0%, how could I feel stifled from punching my own chest?
Though Lynn wasn't exceptionally smart, neither was he a fool. These unusual occurrences led him to a rather bold conclusion.
I must have transmigrated into the game world, right!?
To test his wild theory, Lynn pinched the flesh at his waist hard, and the intense pain woke him up completely.
But that alone wasn't reassuring enough. After rubbing his waist, Lynn turned his gaze to the adorable little Yuri, and under her puzzled stare, he stretched his guilty hands to gently pinch and pull her cheeks.
Watching Little Yuri's chubby cheeks change shape under his hands, and hearing her soft protests, Lynn was 99% sure of his hypothesis.
As for the remaining 1%...
Lynn glanced around to find that besides Little Yuri and the Elf Race girl, there was no one else around, so... sorry about this...
This time, Lynn didn't want to give the opponent time to react; he swiftly reached out and touched the cheek of the stranger Elf Race beauty beside him.
Then, time seemed to freeze for ten seconds.
Lynn waited for ages, but the expected system punishment never came, dispelling that lingering 1% of doubt.
"Holy moly, I really lucked out."
This lucking out is akin to the idiom of getting run over by a lucky truck, both implying being able to transmigrate.
"You..."
"Big brother is a bad brother! Bullying Little Yuri and also Xiya sister! Little Yuri won't play with you anymore!"
Just as Lynn confirmed his thoughts, the two girls he sneak-attacked earlier woke up and protested indignantly. Xiya's speech was slower than Little Yuri's rapid-fire complaints, which interrupted her.
But this didn't stop her from glaring at Lynn as if he were a pest. Clearly, wearing an engagement ring yet still flirting with unfamiliar girls, there's no doubt he's a classic scumbag.
"Sorry, I went a bit crazy just now. I didn't mean any harm, just wanted to see if this would result in Divine Punishment."
Explaining system-related matters to NPCs is challenging, so Lynn chose words they could understand to defend himself.
No matter how much he spoke, it didn't change the fact that he acted against women and little girls. Besides, how could bullying them invoke Divine Punishment? If the lofty Deity could still intervene in Miracle World, how would he tolerate them being oppressed and massacred by the Demon Race for so many years, with so many lives lost?
"Though your apology was rather chaotic, I could feel your sincerity... but as a man already engaged, please refrain from such actions in the future, or you will hurt your fiancé."
As an excellent orphanage director, Xiya had an extremely acute sense of people's emotions. Though this strange man's words were peculiar, she could sense his genuine sincerity.
Though inexplicably touched by him, her 220-year-long vow to avoid men was broken. Considering he might just be having an episode, and his apology was fairly sincere, along with his familiarity with Little Yuri, she reluctantly decided to forgive him this once.
Of course, this had nothing to do with the impressive strength he displayed earlier. She isn't easily bullied; if anyone tries to use strength or power to force her, she would show them the prowess of a former ace archer from the Elf Legion!
See the maiden draw her bow again, unyielding to time and fear!
Meanwhile, Lynn was scratching his head in confusion, trying to comprehend Xiya's words.
"Fiancé? Since when do I have a fiancé? Is it one of those who will come to break off the engagement later?"
Upon hearing the term fiancé, no image of a girl popped into Lynn's mind. Instead, the classic line "Don't bully the poor young" played repeatedly.
Though he's doing well in Miracle World and even achieving success in the real world, all these years, he hasn't found a true love worthy of engagement.
This doesn't mean Lynn lacks romantic luck; rather, his youthful achievements and attractive appearance turn his romantic encounters into a disaster...
It's not that he can't find a girlfriend, it's just that he has too many choices, precisely like the saying describes, his vision blurred amidst too much beauty.
Of course, the reason Lynn hasn't found a suitable partner is not just too many choices but also too few choices...
In a monogamous world, no matter how many beauties there are, he can only choose one. How is Lynn supposed to decide when overwhelmed by choices?
Regarding his own eternal happiness, he can't rush things. Thus, this indecision and procrastination turned the gaming big shot into a diamond bachelor.
"If you're not engaged, why are you wearing an engagement ring?"
Xiya pointed to the ring on Lynn's left middle finger. Its exquisite design was so conspicuous, how could he deny it so sincerely?
"Engagement ring? Oh, no, this is a Spatial Ring, storage equipment. Maybe I was muddle-headed when I went out today, wore it on the wrong finger."
Speaking, Lynn deftly removed the ring from his left middle finger, thought for a moment, and then wore it on his right index finger.
Xiya watched Lynn casually alter his relationship status, especially when he deliberately indicated he was single and yearned for love. Xiya's gaze suddenly became sharp.
Such a clear intent, she's encountered such ring displays over fifty times in the past thirty years. Simply because she wasn't keen on early love, she ignored them every time.
Now, this guy named Lynn is the same; does she look like an easy-to-flirt elf?
