Seeing Little Yuna gradually disappearing from sight, Lynn's previously smiling expression suddenly turned somber.
If it were the Lynn of the past, all this would just be part of the game background, merely a set of data from the system.
But seeing the living Little Yuna now, well, compared to real orphans, Little Yuna is actually quite fortunate.
However, this does not mean Lynn can completely disregard what he hears.
Even Little Yuri, who has no father or mother, has new clothes to wear and little cakes to eat.
Here, I have to commend Ms. Xiya; she does an excellent job as the director of this orphanage.
"You shouldn't be short of money..."
Lynn glanced at his own mansion, then at Little Yuna's house next door.
When he bought a house in Celestial Destiny City, he didn't buy in the slums; it wasn't even considered a civilian area.
Although it can't compare to the golden locations where nobles are clustered in the inner city, at the very least, owning a mansion requiring strength isn't something anyone could achieve in his neighborhood.
Little Yuna's parents don't seem like people lacking money; their mistreatment of her probably isn't economically motivated. Maybe just as Little Yuna said, they prefer sons over daughters.
Goodness, what era is this, and there are still such remnants of feudal thinking, really...
Alright, this is another world; they even have emperors, what's wrong with being a bit feudal...
But being born female isn't Little Yuna's fault. She's so cute; what did she do wrong?
I'm starting to think about adopting two daughters...
However, this is a personal family matter; with what authority can he interfere? Could he claim he's Little Yuna's adopted father?
Can't manage it; their blood ties can't just be forcibly severed, right? Would Little Yuna be happy with that?
Forget it, just be nicer to Little Yuna to make up for her missing love.
Thinking this, Lynn perked up, ready to get on with the day's tasks.
He plans to stay in Celestial Destiny City for a while, to get reacquainted with Little Yuri once she returns home, then consider gallivanting around the continent.
As for matters of the Demon Realm...
He'll deal with them once he fully masters his magic power!
After delving deeply yesterday, Lynn confirmed one thing: His warrior player levels didn't directly translate into Demon Race levels. Although he didn't start at level 1 due to a very high initial point, a simple assessment of his output using magic power suggests his current "Demon Level" is between level 500 and 550.
Perhaps this is the level a level 1 "Demon Race Player" achieves after slaying the Demon Dragon Emperor; as for the Demon Race spy's comments that whoever kills the Demon Emperor becomes the new one, that might be calculated on the basis of having the power to slay the Demon Emperor.
For example, if the final scene's super boss, Proud Demon King, elevated to level 950, kills the world boss, Demon Dragon Emperor, who's level 999, then becoming the new 990+ level Demon Emperor makes perfect sense.
Unfortunately, Lynn didn't have this secondary profession beforehand, nor a strong Demon Race background, so the "Demon Race Experience Points" he gained from slaying Demon Dragon Emperor only elevated him a few hundred levels, becoming an ordinary Saint Tier demon.
Luckily, his warrior player levels remain, as do years of collected treasures, so he doesn't have to worry about a lack of strength or living means. He has money, power, and looks; what he lacks is...well, some...well, an unknown number of girlfriends.
Sigh, soon enough. Yesterday he even met three first loves, might not be long before it changes.
Whether it's coincidence or telepathy, just as Lynn reminisced about yesterday's chance meetings with beauties, a call came through.
"Ding dong! You have a new message, please check it."
The Communication Stone in the Spatial Ring rang, and Lynn immediately sensed it.
"Lynn, are you free today? My dad insists I attend Lajian Wilson's birthday party, can you accompany me? Not using you as a shield... Well, maybe a little, but I genuinely dislike that guy, so can you be my temporary companion? One that might become permanent later on~~Time is 8 PM, location is at Wilson's Duke Mansion entrance, I'll be waiting for you~~"
Lynn took out the Communication Stone and opened the message, receiving a long stream of information.
It's the usual routine for Miracle World NPCs; since the Communication Stone messages aren't instant and sending a message back and forth can take an hour or two, they habitually say everything clearly in one go. Otherwise, just waiting for information can be exhausting.
If they sent messages like players, asking only "Are you there?"— when the reply "Yes" is sent back, the time-sensitive matters could be overdue.
Lynn rarely received messages from NPCs through the Communication Stone, so he was initially unaccustomed. But after reading the message from his friend "Wei Bao," Lynn decided to attend the appointment punctually.
Are you kidding? Vivian is one of those three first loves I met yesterday, of course, I'll try my best to fulfill her request, not because of any prospect of permanence!
Talk of permanence; are there any thrilling benefits after that? Lynn just tried touching his face lightly without system punishment, but whether 18+ content would trigger system destruction is uncertain yet...
Who cares anyway? First, get the girl home; Vivian's looks alone are pleasing even if untouchable, just observing is rewarding.
With this thought, Lynn moved with more enthusiasm, first buying all the necessary daily supplies, then purchasing gifts for Little Yuri and Little Yuna, and dressing up well at night to help Vivian dominate the scene!
Ordinary household supplies are available everywhere as long as one has money, Lynn also has a Spatial Ring, so there's no concern over carrying capacity.
In just over an hour, Lynn completed his shopping, including breakfast; afterward was buying gifts for the little ones, which required careful selection.
Little Yuri's height and weight have official data, but as she is now a year older, Lynn considered buying slightly bigger sizes, while Little Yuna and Little Yuri resemble twins, so identical purchases suffice.
After significant effort, Lynn bought three little dresses for each of the two kids at a children's clothing store, identical in style and color to avoid seeming partial.
Then at a jewelry store, he bought each a small bracelet, opting not for eye-catching gold but cute designs suitable for little girls and slightly clumsy big girls.
