With My System, I Can Even Tame Gods

Over the next few days, Lin Fan was quite busy with the various different errands that he had to do for the town.

He was planning to leave again to head to the village, but before he left, he wanted to do all that he could to make Yue Lan's job easier.

So even if it ran him ragged, he would take care of everything that he was assigned.

Today, he finally had some free time, so he headed into the dungeon.

As for why he was going to the dungeon…of course it was to improve it.

With the development of the town, the amount of DP that they raised kept growing and growing and now there was a large bank of DP that they could spend.

Rokuko never spent any of it other than a certain amount that Lin Fan allowed her to spend to maintain the dungeon. As well, she spent another amount that Lin Fan gave her as an allowance to buy things that she wanted to buy.

But of course, she didn't have any complaints about Lin Fan restricting her spending of the DP at all.

That was because she had been completely subdued by his method of running the dungeon.

She wasn't a fool and she wasn't too prideful to admit that she was wrong. In fact, she didn't really have any pride when it came to Lin Fan because he had already seen her at her lowest.

There was no reason for her to have any pride when it came to this person who had seen her at her lowest and was her partner.

She knew that if she had run the dungeon the way that she wanted to run it, it would have most likely already been destroyed.

What would have happened was that a powerful expert would have made it all the way to her core once she posed enough of a threat, like Lin Fan had done previously. However, it wasn't certain that the expert would have spared her like Lin Fan had done.

What most likely would have happened was that her core would be destroyed by that expert and she would die.

So she was happy that it was Lin Fan that she met and not some unreasonable person that would destroy her at any cost.

When Lin Fan appeared in the dungeon core room, he was surprised by what he saw…

That was because he saw a room that was completely filled with trash…

Rokuko was in a corner of the room with a computer right in front of her, eating her way through the junk food that she had bought with her DP allowance. Whenever she finished off a bag, she would just throw it into the pile of trash behind her…

Lin Fan's lips couldn't help twitching when he saw this.

He was the one that hadn't allowed her to go out, but he never thought that she would become a hikkikomori like this…

But he realized that it wasn't that strange when he thought about it.

After all, Rokuko had nothing to do since the dungeon mainly functioned on its own.

So the only thing that she could do was play with the computer that she had bought with saved up parts of her allowance. Of course, it wasn't just the computer that she bought.

She also bought several game systems that were scattered around the room, buried under the trash.

Lin Fan shook his head and gave a sigh before walking through the piles of trash to come to Rokuko's side. She had headphones on currently, so she couldn't hear him at all as she giggled to herself while looking at the screen.

Lin Fan looked at her screen and saw that she was playing an otome game. However, he found that he didn't recognize this game at all.

When he looked closely at it, he found that the male character that was currently on the screen…looked very similar to him…

Lin Fan's lips couldn't help twitching again before he took the headphones off Rokuko's head.

Rokuko was surprised by this sudden action and looked up at Lin Fan with a dazed look. Then a blush came over her cute little face as she jumped forward and covered the screen with her body while saying in a flustered voice, "What, what, what are you, you doing here?"

Lin Fan revealed a bitter smile that couldn't help turning stiff when he looked at her carefully.

Rokuko was dressed in a very loose fitting t-shirt that covered her whole body, so when she stood up like this, it hung quite loosely on her figure. Especially with her full figure, it gave Lin Fan quite a few gaps to peek down her shirt.

When he saw this, he couldn't help feeling a bit awkward, but that didn't mean that he turned his head right away. It was only after getting a good look that he turned his head away from her.

Rokuko had noticed the strange way that he had acted and couldn't help being confused.

Then when she looked down at her shirt, she realized what Lin Fan had been looking at and quickly covered herself up. She brought her arms around herself and squatted down, without caring about hiding the computer screen behind her.

However, she didn't hide herself because she didn't want to be seen by Lin Fan…it was just that it was a bit embarrassing to be in this situation.

There was actually a small part of her that wanted Lin Fan to look at her.

Lin Fan gave a cough before picking up a coat from the pile of trash on the side and handing it to her.

Rokuko took it and covered herself up before saying, "I can explain. This is…"

But before she could continue, Lin Fan raised his hand to cut her off. He then gave another cough before saying, "You don't need to explain, I can guess what happened."

Then he looked at the screen again and said, "But I do have a few questions."

Rokuko was taken aback by this, but after a moment of hesitation, she gave a nod in response and waited for his question.

Lin Fan pointed at the male character on screen and asked, "I don't remember a character like this from any of the games offered by the system, so where did you get this game?"

Rokuko's face filled with a blush when she heard this and she lowered her head as she remained silent. It was clear by the look on her face that she was embarrassed about this and unwilling to say anything.

But facing Lin Fan's silence, there was an awkwardness that eventually forced the answer out of her.

"I…I drew and coded it myself." Rokuko said in a little shy voice. All at the same time, she had been looking down as if she was afraid to look at him.

Lin Fan revealed a surprised look as he asked, "You coded all of this yourself?"

Rokuko gave a slight nod.

Lin Fan looked at the screen and couldn't help feeling amazed.

That was because the art and quality of the game wasn't low as far as he could tell and he had his experience as a gamer of over ten years supporting him. Though he didn't play that many otome games, he had played a lot of galges and they were similar enough for him to judge it.

But he also had no choice but to face the real problem.

It was that the male lead of this game that Rokuko had made…looked very similar to thim.

Well, similar was a bit of an understatement. It wasn't an exaggeration to say that it looked almost exactly like him.

What this implied was very clear, but it was not something that Lin Fan had considered before.

He had treated Rokuko as a little sister before this, so for her to suddenly act this way…he was a bit helpless about what to do.

Still, as a man, he knew that it was his duty to take the lead here.

So after a moment of hesitation, he slowly said, "That character…it looks very familiar…"

That had been the only thing that his brain could think of because this situation was just too much for him.

Perhaps it was a common scene in his research, but when he was actually faced with it, it really was hard for him to confront it. Let alone know what to do with these complicated emotions.

Rokuko could only just give another shy nod before they fell into silence again.

Lin Fan took a deep breath before saying, "If that's how you feel, I'll take responsibility…However, you should know my situation as well."

Rokuko had just been born not that long ago, but as a dungeon core, she learned much faster than normal people. Her feelings also developed faster than normal people's so she was certain what she wanted.

So she gave a nod and said, "It's fine. As long as I'm with you, it's fine."

Lin Fan nodded before turning around to take her in his arms.

Of course, he didn't go any further than that.

Perhaps he could be considered a coward, but there were many feelings that he had to sort through before he could do that. At the very least, the time for this wasn't now.

Rokuko was a bit disappointed, but she could understand why he did this.

After all, her heart wasn't ready for it just yet either.

She felt that…she needed to do a bit more research before that.

While she did play otome games…the ones that she played were a bit quite tame. She hadn't played any of the ones with a higher age rating since she wasn't sure if she was ready for them.

But now that the situation had developed this far, she was interested in this research.

After taking a few more minutes to recover from this awkward situation, Lin Fan cleaned up the room while Rokuko went off to take a shower.

She had already been stuck inside for many days and had been playing the entire time. So she had completely forgotten to take care of her own hygiene and she wasn't going to sit there with him like that.

Lin Fan had completely furnished the core room like an apartment, so there was a working shower and a working kitchen here as well. This was where Rokuko lived, so he didn't want her to suffer.

So he had made sure that she lived in comfort even if it did cost quite a few DP.

Once she was done, she sat back down in the clean room at the table that had been previously buried under the trash and waited for Lin Fan to speak.

They had sorted out the issues between them, so they were now going to talk about the main topic that Lin Fan had come to discuss today.
