Chapter 790: Chapter 750: Thousands of Weird and Wonderful Wishes
The [Lover Contract] indeed had this loophole.
And it was merely three days after the [Lover Contract] was online, there was a flood of player feedback on it.
Yet, this loophole couldn’t be patched.
Although it sounds a bit adult-oriented and counterintuitive, it’s true that backdoor action, a slightly perverse form of intimacy, is actually gender-differentiated.
—Women can’t derive sexual pleasure from this form of intimacy, only men can.
So, sensory data in this regard could only be provided by men.
But here is the problem; Lincoln had no such experience nor would he ever want to have it.
It would be too perverse for him to find a boyfriend and enjoy himself just to cater to the needs of a handful of players and collect relevant sensory data…
He even couldn’t simulate such sensory experiences through pure code editing.
—Without knowing what it feels like, how could he emulate it?
Lincoln did think about asking Fred if he could take on this responsibility.
But considering that he’s still trying to win over Vincent, he probably doesn’t have this kind of experience either. His previous enthusiasm for the gay bar and the male escort club might just be out of pure interest.
In the end, Lincoln chose to ignore this loophole.
One might say that he was advocating for positive and healthy sexual etiquette.
He would consider this issue if, and only if, a true gay made it to the upper echelons of Cloud Dream…
…
…
Yi looked at the bro in shock and couldn’t help but glance a few times at the guy’s rear.
The bro sensed Yi’s gaze, looked back at him, but quickly turned to look at the Divine Dragon.
—At the same time, he slightly raised his hips.
Yi immediately bent backward and turned his head to look in the opposite direction.
But his ears were still tuned to the voice of the Divine Dragon speaking to the other player. The Divine Dragon replied:
“It’s impossible. The only sensory that can be unlocked for a specific part of the body at present is pain.”
For some reason, Yi sighed in relief subconsciously, feeling that his worldview had just been saved a little.
But the next moment the bro spoke again:
“Alright, then unlock the pain sensation there for me.”
After he finished speaking, he muttered, “You’re getting off easy.”
“???”
What the heck?
What on Earth are you planning to do?
Who’s getting off easy?!
Question marks were popping out of Yi’s forehead, feeling his worldview being severely challenged.
He quickly shook his head, trying to forget about this and looked at the other players making wishes.
Most of the remaining players were also contemplating their wishes, except for those enjoying the company of the Dragon Girls at close proximity. The wishes they shouted were bizarre –
“My wish is: to get filthy rich overnight!”
“My wish is: for a game cabin to be delivered to my home by tomorrow morning!”
“I hope all game activities would become regular gameplay!”
“I want a wife! A fire dragon wife!”
“Please grant me a wife. Any female will do, even an NPC!”
“Divine Dragon, please grant me all achievements! If all achievements are not possible, at least complete all diamond achievements for me.”
“Please resurrect Helen.”
…
What surprised Yi is that many of the wishes actually came true!
The one who wished for a game cabin got his wish granted. The Divine Dragon’s feedback was: it’s impossible to send it directly, but his odds of winning could be increased by 1000 times in the game cabin lucky draw segment this Sunday!
—There was a round of game cabin draw for all online players each day during this week’s event. But due to incredibly low chances under a massive player base, people didn’t take it seriously.
Even with 1000 times, it probably increased from 0.00000001% to 0.000001%. In Yi’s view, it was just a drop in the bucket.
However, the player said, “I’ll bet on this!”
As for the player who wished to get filthy rich overnight, the Divine Dragon agreed to give him 10 million!
Unfortunately, the currency was virtual currency of Metropolis…
For the player who wished full achievements for himself, the Divine Dragon said it can only fulfill three gold achievements, or +2 progress for diamond achievements series like [Ancestors’ Glory] and [Where the Magic Animals Are].
The player who asks for a “lifetime monthly card” of a certain game was given a one-month monthly pass for free.
So, it was basically a game of bargaining and discounting. It drove many players crazy.
Yi even suspected that there were Cloud Dream customer service behind these Divine Dragons, whose job was to play with players.
Of course, not all wishes were discounted, many of them were granted to full extent.
For example, the player who wished to resurrect Helen, probably a newbie to “Speed Chase”, still mourning over the death of Helen Wick, so he made a wish for her to resurrect.
The Divine Dragon did fulfill his wish!
—Actually, it was the “Speed Chase” project team that fulfilled the players’ wish.
Anyway, that player said a joyous goodbye to the Divine Dragon and returned to Night City to his wife.
Even the few who wanted to go to the “Chang’an” world in advance got invitation letters!
These results baffled Yi. He couldn’t figure out the criteria the Divine Dragon was using to grant wishes.
But whatever it was, it was certainly of more value than turning Yelang into a woman!
He quickly changed his mind, deciding to stop making a wish and reconsider everything.
But at that moment, Yelang suddenly showed up behind him, patted his shoulder, and said, “Yi, come with me.”
“What’s up?” Yi was startled by this sudden approach.
“I made a wish and want you to witness it with me,” Yelang said, looking at Yi sincerely.
However, Yi suddenly felt that something was off…

Camille Victoria stood at the edge of the crowd, gazing at Connar who was being held by her mother in the crowd. She felt a bit down.
She remembered Connar saying many times that she didn’t want to go home.
Connar had said that her home was cold, her life was monotonous, and her environment was risky.
She also said she liked it here because there was lots of good food and fun stuff, and every day was enjoyable.
…
After hesitating for a long time, Camille Victoria couldn’t resist.
She summoned the Divine Dragon and made a wish:
“My wish is to keep Connar by my side.”
The Divine Dragon looked down at Camille Victoria, who was full of anticipation, remained silent for a moment, and then replied, “I asked her, and she agreed.”
“So, it can be done.”
Hearing this, Camille Victoria immediately turned her head and looked at Connar in the crowd.
Connar, who was being held by her mother and had her feet above the ground, also raised her head as if instinctively and made brief eye contact with Camille Victoria.
A big smile immediately appeared on Camille Victoria’s face.
She turned back to thank the Divine Dragon, but it had already disappeared, leaving behind only seven Dragon Pearls that had lost their effects.
But Camille Victoria still picked up these pearls and planned to take them home for collection.
Meanwhile, her live streaming room was abuzz:
“What’s going on? Why was Camille Victoria successful?!”
“You’re asking me, but who am I supposed to ask?!”
“I saw several streamers making wishes to have the cute Dragon Girl live in their houses, but none of them succeeded!”
“Not to mention directly making a wish, even the people who had previously invited Connar to their home didn’t succeed either!”
…
The players in the live streaming room were utterly confused.
During these six days, Connar hadn’t just been in contact with Camille Victoria.
She popped up in different parts of the virtual world and met many players. Especially in the last few days, as Connar’s reputation grew, more and more people found her.
But not all players were welcomed by Connar.
It seemed to her that players could be classified into three categories.
The first type of player would make Connar run away as soon as they approached her, and in the blink of an eye, she would be lost forever.
——Of course, everyone now knows why: it’s because Connar can also “teleport.”
The second type of player could chat, make friends, and play with Connar.
But if they wanted to invite Connar to their homes, they would be rejected.
Only the third type of player could invite Connar to their homes as guests.
Given this phenomenon and Connar’s comment about the “smell of slaughter and death,” players have hypothesized a possible reason:
To Connar, the “evil” of players may depend on their attitude towards innocent NPCs.
It doesn’t matter if players kill each other or the enemies in tasks during the game, but harming innocent NPCs unrelated to tasks will deduct points and add “evil values.”
Once it reached a certain level, Connar would dislike them.
——This guess is quite close to reality.
But the hidden numerical value is not “evil value,” but “moral points.”
Doing good deeds adds moral points, while doing bad deeds deducts moral points.
If the moral points decrease to a certain level, it will affect the attitude of special NPCs towards players. Especially when players want to develop closer relationships with some special NPCs, this hidden numerical value will play a key role.
So in a way, Camille Victoria’s online purchase of the wooden fish was indeed correct.
It’s just that knocking the wooden fish in reality doesn’t have any effect…
As for why the third type of player with high “moral points” is making a wish to keep Connar but still gets rejected by Connar,
That involves another hidden numerical value –
[Intimacy].
Building intimacy requires plenty of interactions, sufficient shared time and even… genuine feelings.
And Camille Victoria genuinely liked Connar very, very much.
So she became the first person to successfully keep Connar.
And Connar staying was not just about having an extra inhabitant in the virtual house.
Soon, the players who had high enough intimacy with Connar to keep her received a surprise.
