Chapter 97: Herta Didn’t Rank Up, But It Was Fun

"Because of 300 power stones i have release one more extra chapter with regular chapters" Back to the story

"Hmm... A familiar room."

Gu Tang returned to his room at the space station, nodding with satisfaction. This was the place where he had spent the most time since arriving in this universe.

Lying down on his bed, stretching leisurely, Gu Tang decided to spend a relaxed time before falling asleep.

Suddenly, his instincts alerted him to danger.

"I'm sensing danger?" Gu Tang was surprised. In this universe, there weren't many things that could pose a threat to him. And besides, he was inside the Herta Space Station. Unlike the previous invasion, this time Herta herself was present at the station, greatly enhancing its defense capabilities.

Gu Tang believed that even if the full might of the Antimatter Legion were to bear down on the station, Herta would be able to protect it.

"So where is this feeling coming from? Is the Destruction Aeon personally taking action? Just because I consumed a Stellaron? That's unlikely..." Gu Tang scratched his head in confusion.

In the end, he couldn't find anything out of the ordinary and chalked it up to being overly sensitive.

"Maybe it's just the excitement from the thrilling adventures," Gu Tang muttered to himself.

Soon, it was time to sleep.

Gu Tang turned off the lights and comfortably drifted off into slumber. Unlike Stelle, who was often plagued by nightmares, Gu Tang had a high-quality sleep and quickly entered dreamland.

And then, in the dark room—

Herta slowly crawled out from under the bed.

"Hehehe..." She let out a strange laugh, her eyes glowing with a purple hue.

The sight of a gothic doll crawling out from under the bed at night was straight out of a horror movie. But of course, what happened next was far from horror.

Because Herta, with a flushed face, leaned in and kissed the sleeping Gu Tang.

"Mmm... Smooch..." Her actions were intense, and if it were anyone else, they would have woken up immediately. But as mentioned before, Gu Tang had high-quality sleep, so he continued to sleep soundly.

"Whew..." Herta finally released her lips and took a couple of breaths.

Though dolls don't need to breathe, this one was specially modified by Herta to experience the thrill of suffocation.

Yes, this was the danger Gu Tang had sensed.

This was the Herta Space Station, and the most dangerous thing here was naturally Herta herself.

And dangers come in many forms.

For instance, right now, Herta was stripping off her black and purple gothic attire, revealing her unusual yet beautiful doll-like body.

Then, with a smile on her face, she slipped into Gu Tang's bed.

This too was a form of danger.

"Mmm..."

Gu Tang woke up from his slumber.

In the first second, he felt something was off. Why wasn't he wearing any clothes?

Then he noticed a petite girl lying in his arms.

Herta's head rested on Gu Tang's chest, her expression peaceful, still deep in slumber. Gu Tang could even feel her warm breaths rhythmically brushing against his skin.

Her cream-colored long hair naturally spread out, covering Gu Tang's body, tickling him slightly.

Sensing Gu Tang's movements, Herta's eyelashes fluttered, and then she slowly opened her eyes.

Those beautiful purple pupils came into Gu Tang's view.

"Awake already, dear? You were amazing last night. If it weren't for my doll body, I would've died a couple of hundred times," Herta said with a gentle smile.

"What the...!" Gu Tang sat up in shock.

And then he realized, he and Herta were lying on the floor. His bed...

"What happened to my bed?" Gu Tang looked at his once comfortable and soft bed, now broken in two.

"Sorry, I was too intense last night." Herta scratched her head, a bit embarrassed.

Then, Gu Tang took another look around his room.

"What happened to my room?"

"Sorry, I was too intense last night."

Herta's answer was like a broken record, but it was indeed the truth.

"Don't worry, I'll have someone come clean it up right away. I promise to have it all restored within half a day." Herta immediately contacted the station manager, "Hey, Asta? Send someone to clean up Gu Tang's room, especially the stains on the ceiling—make sure they scrub it clean. And get him a new bed... Ah, don't ask too many questions."

After finishing the call, Herta turned back to Gu Tang.

Gu Tang regrettably punched the ground, "I thought I was careful enough... I can't believe Herta still got the better of me!"

"Hmph, it's all thanks to the power of love." Herta flicked her hair, speaking lines straight out of a cheesy movie.

Then, she blushed and beckoned Gu Tang over with her hand, "You must be furious right now, filled with rage. Come, unleash your anger! Strangle me right here and now!"

"I refuse," Gu Tang rejected her without hesitation.

He knew all too well how twisted Herta could be.

"Eh... How could you do this? I spent so much time fine-tuning my breathing system..." Herta sighed, lying down on the floor in disappointment.

But in the next second, she started smiling again, covering her face while writhing on the ground, "But... this feeling of being discarded like trash... isn't so bad either!"

"Oh, my God..." Gu Tang held his forehead and let out a deep sigh.

It's true what they say—there's always someone who can tame you.

Even with Gu Tang's extraordinary intellect, he couldn't handle a woman like Herta.

Simply because this woman had no bottom line.

Herta touched her lower abdomen, "By the way, it's more than I expected... Did you not meet any beauties on your adventures?"

"No, what do you take me for? Some pervert who gets aroused every time he meets a beautiful woman?" Gu Tang frowned.

"Hmph, but it makes sense. After all, with my perfectly sculpted body by your side, ordinary people wouldn't catch your eye anymore, right?" Herta said confidently.

She lay sideways on the ground, gently tracing her fingers along her thigh, waist, and side, showcasing her slender curves.

Coupled with her flawless and delicate beauty, she resembled a perfect piece of art, exuding a stunning allure.

"I'm not into lolis." Gu Tang shook his head.

Snap, Herta snapped her fingers.

A virtual screen appeared in front of Gu Tang.

Displayed on the screen were 126 different forms.

"Pick one. I'll come to your room tonight," Herta smiled, winking at him.

"Not interested," Gu Tang coldly refused.

Herta puffed up her cheeks, "What's that? After all, it was me who helped you complete those crazy tasks when you first arrived in this universe. Would it have gone so smoothly if you had met another girl?"

"...That's the biggest regret of my life," Gu Tang rubbed his temples.

"Back then, I was also a cold and unapproachable goddess... I never would've imagined becoming a love-struck girl madly in love. The old me would've never seen this coming," Herta sighed.

She saw this as a form of growth.

"You've just become a pervert," Gu Tang bluntly stated, "I miss the days when you were so rebellious."

-------------------------------------

That was an event that occurred two months after Gu Tang first arrived in this universe.

Back then, his skills were limited, his attributes were low, and he had no means of self-preservation in this unfamiliar universe. So, he took every task assigned by the system seriously, hoping to grow stronger as quickly as possible.
