Building a Gaming Empire From Scratch

Chapter 742: Chapter 703: Come, follow me back home!

“Perseverance pays off! Finally found her!”

Camille Victoria was overjoyed, hugging the soft little dragon girl.

The little girl in her arms seemed a bit dazed by nature, not surprised to be suddenly hugged. She leisurely turned her head to see who had grabbed her.

After seeing Camille Victoria’s face, she rubbed the panda in her arms and then slowly asked, “Are you looking for Connar?”

“Connar? Is that your name? You’re so cute!” Camille Victoria couldn’t help but hug her tighter.

Of course, she didn’t forget the main point: “Little Connar, you’re actually a dragon, right?”

Little Connar nodded her head, not denying it.

So Camille Victoria continued, “Your auntie thought you were kidnapped and is really worried about you.”

Unexpectedly, Little Connar, who had been calm the whole time, suddenly became agitated:

“Connar doesn’t want to go back!”

“Connar wants to run away from home!”

“Connar wants to go out and play!”

As she spoke, the little girl struggled in Camille Victoria’s arms, flailing her small arms and legs, trying to break free.

Camille Victoria wasn’t sure if she was imagining it, but she seemed to hear a faint current of electricity.

However, before she could react, she saw the little girl looking at her pitifully with tearful eyes:

“Are you going to take Connar back?”

“No, no, don’t cry.” Camille Victoria hurriedly shook her head, “Forget it, just let Connar play without worry. I won’t tell anyone you’re here.”

“Really?”

“Yes, really! I keep my word.”

Camille Victoria couldn’t bear to see the cute little girl cry, so she quickly abandoned the idea of taking her to the metropolis and to the Fire Dragon.

Just let her wholeheartedly have fun!

As for her little sister-in-law being beaten 12 times a day …

Well, the little sister-in-law should endure it a bit more.

“Happy! Connar likes you!” Connar put down her panda and reached out with both hands to hug Camille Victoria.

“Haha.” Camille Victoria happily stroked Connar’s head.

Then an idea popped up: “Connar, where do you sleep at night?”

Connar shook her head and pointed to a temporary giant panda nest not far away, answering: “There, Connar sleeps with them!”

“Ah, this…” Camille Victoria suddenly found herself at a loss for words.

If Connar slept with other animals, she would definitely feel heartbroken.

But sleeping with a group of giant panda cubs, in a nest woven from bamboo, padded with clean and soft cushions … it seems … hard to feel sorry for her.

With pursed lips, Camille Victoria tried to ignore the distraction of the giant pandas and continued, “This won’t do, Connar, you’re a girl, you can’t sleep outside!”

“Do you want to come home with Big Sister? I have a cute little dog at home, and the bed is very big and soft, it’s really comfortable to sleep on!”

Connar looked at the panda nest and then at Camille Victoria, seeming hesitant.

Camille Victoria watched Connar nervously while brainstorming to find more reasons to coax (crossed out) the little girl to come home with her.

But before she could come up with more reasons, the little girl shook her head and said: “Connar hasn’t had enough fun yet, and doesn’t want to change places.”

Camille Victoria didn’t want to give up: “I can play with Connar! When you’re tired of playing, you can go home with Big Sister to rest.”

Connar looked at Camille Victoria again and asked her a completely unexpected question:

“Can Big Sister’s house charge me?”

“Yes!” Camille Victoria answered without hesitation.

Although she had never paid attention to whether there were outlets in the virtual house, since the TV, fridge, and karaoke all worked normally, it must be possible to charge.

If not, she would call Lincoln! Even if there was no electricity, she would ask Lincoln to run an electrical wire there!

Hearing that she could recharge, Little Connar’s eyes lit up, and she took a fluffy little ball from her pocket and handed it to Camille Victoria.

“Big Sister, you hold on to this. Can I come to find you tonight?”

Camille Victoria pinched the white fluffy ball in her hand, not quite understanding what it was. The system prompt only showed one name- [Dragon Girl’s Token].

Despite that, Camille Victoria still carefully put it away.

“Thank you, Big Sister! Connar needs to go play somewhere else now!” The little girl handed over the token and ran off.

“Hey!” Camille Victoria reached out to try and stop her, but the little girl quickly disappeared into the crowd.

Camille Victoria felt a bit disappointed, but she did not regret her decision.

Maybe by forcibly taking the little girl back to the Metropolis and returning her to the Fire Dragon, she would have received a precious Achievement trophy.

But if she had to do it again, she would still let the little girl go and allow her to play freely.

The only regret was that she couldn’t play with her.

So…

“It’s all Cloud Dream’s fault!”

Certainly, Cloud Dream might have been worried that once a player found the Dragon Girl, they would bring hundreds or even thousands of people to see Connar, so they set a rule that Connar would not stay with one person for a long time.

Fortunately, Camille Victoria took out the fluffy token and pinched it twice. “I can still see Connar tonight! Hahaha!”

*

Though Camille Victoria never mentioned what she had been looking for all afternoon, her conversation with Connar after hugging her was watched by the live-streamer community in the live broadcast room.

——Camille Victoria indeed kept her word and didn’t tell anyone that Connar was in the amusement park.

But more than three million viewers in the live broadcast room had already seen it…

No more than half a minute after Connar ran away, many people rushed over in hopes of getting close to the Dragon Girl.

But since Connar had already run away, they could only start looking from scratch.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Watching more and more people in the amusement park not playing but instead looking for the Dragon Girl, Camille Victoria couldn’t help but be anxious for the little girl.

Interestingly, even though everyone around was looking for her, the little girl was never found.

Camille Victoria then guessed in her heart: it seemed that the little girl had run to another Mirror.

This made her feel completely at ease, and sent a message to Senior Schoolgirl Queenie——

[I’m done with my stuff, invite me.]

Queenie sent a group invitation efficiently, and when Camille Victoria accepted, she noticed that she was actually in Terraria.

She returned to her virtual house strangely and logged into Terraria.

“Senior!” Queenie greeted excitedly.

“What are you doing here?” Camille Victoria asked, puzzled.

She remembered that there were no new events in Terraria, right?

As for the main game itself, she had not yet beaten Moon Lord… even with the Skipping Class scheme.

Currently, the Skipping Class schemes for the Moon Lord are not very mature and don’t have the kind of “foolproof and easy completion” method.

Also, considering the grand and infuriating nature of Moon Lord, Camille Victoria decided to let it go and wait until someone developed an Invincible Grinding Skipping Class scheme before tackling this final battle.

“Senior, have you noticed the [Lover Contract] just updated by Cloud Dream?”

“I glanced at it, what’s up?” The announcement really caused a stir, but Camille Victoria, being single, skimmed through it and didn’t have the interest to continue reading—— she’d rather go to Dinosaur Island and dig up some ore with her spare time.

Queenie explained her idea to Camille Victoria: “Someone tried it, and these contracts can only be made between opposite sexes, not the same sex.”

“Then I thought of a potion in Terraria.”

“The [Gender-Swap Potion]!?” Camille Victoria immediately reacted, and the next moment, she saw the rainbow-colored potion in Queenie’s hand.

“Exactly!” Queenie skillfully tilted her head back and poured the entire potion into her stomach.

In an instant, light burst forth, and the magic boy—transformed!

Camille Victoria had seen this scene many times and had experienced it herself, so she wasn’t surprised, just waiting quietly for the transformation to end.

The process was quick, taking only a few seconds.

As soon as the transformation was over, the male version of Queenie quickly opened the panel, jumped to the contract interface, and sent Camille Victoria a request.

The prompt box automatically popped up——

『You sent the player [Camille Victoria] a request to form a [Lover Contract], are you sure?』

“Sure!” Queenie said firmly.

『Player [Nishino Chihiro] has sent you a request to form a [Lover Contract], do you agree?』

“It really works!” Surprised at the prompt before them, both of them were shocked.

“Is it that simple?” Camille Victoria asked in amazement, “Then when you leave the Game World and automatically revert to your original gender, will the contract still be valid?”

“Why not…” Queenie carefully suggested, “Give it a try?”

“???”

Camille Victoria’s gaze at Queenie changed——

‘You’re not yourself!’
