With My Ability To Swap, I Will Never End Up In A Love Triangle Mess - Chapter 113

“So, basically, he teased those guys in public, then right when he had them completely worked up, he swapped our bodies back. They were left high and dry. That’s about it.”

“Mr. Ghost, are you really a guy? That smooth combo you just pulled off was even more skilled than what I, a girl, could do!” Bai Xiaocha’s voice was full of astonishment in her mind.

She never realized how easy it could be for a girl to get a guy all worked up.

Of course, with her own petite, loli-like body, there was no point even thinking about it. No curves to speak of, nowhere near as enticing as those girls who use padded tricks~

“Of course I’m a guy. As for those little tricks? Well, maybe I haven’t eaten the pork, but I’ve seen the pig run! Imitating it was a piece of cake~”

“Mr. Ghost, sugoi~!”

[Task Reward Issued. Bai Xiaocha’s Favorability Increased.]

[Bai Xiaocha’s Favorability has reached 60. A new slot has been unlocked.]

To be honest, Xia Xi didn’t know what Bai Xiaocha’s “wish” in the task was. Maybe it was to experience the feeling of having control over others, teasing and bullying them? After all, he remembered that Bai Xiaocha seemed to really want to overthrow Xia Yue’s “tyrannical rule.”

But none of that mattered now. The task was complete, and a new slot was unlocked. He wondered if he could learn some useful skills this time.

Honestly, the most useful skills for him right now were undoubtedly “Memory” and “Writing” from Liu Yiyi. But as for Liu Yiyi herself… he really wasn’t keen on going to her.

Not just because he’d get an earful from that girl every time, but also because… he didn’t have that many stories to tell her!

He wasn’t some walking library. All he could remember were just things he’d read in his previous life.

[New slot detected. The system has found an excellent candidate for the host. Temporary task activated.]

Huh?

He had spent the whole day fooling around at the comic convention with Bai Xiaocha and was mentally and physically exhausted. His original plan was to use this new slot tomorrow. He never expected the system to directly pick some so-called “excellent candidate” for him.

Xia Xi didn’t buy it.

After all, every girl the system had matched him with for a swap so far had been… unconventional.

A young lady who had been wheelchair-bound and hadn’t stepped outside for over a decade.
A bad-tempered author driven to thoughts of suicide by negative reviews.
And then a legal loli who seemed to have hidden masochistic tendencies but got bullied every day.

I mean, look at this! Are these normal people?

[Temporary Task: Let’s Become Gaming Pros Together!
Bai Xiaocha, still buzzing from today’s novel experiences, is eager to feel what it’s like to boss someone around. You wouldn’t refuse a little loli’s request, would you?]

[Task Objective: Explore 100% of the Goblin Cave.
Task Time: One Dream-Night.
Task Reward: Exclusive Gaming Space.]

[Exchange target An Xiaoyu has been registered to the slot. Host has been granted Level 1 of the skills: Gaming Lv8, Programming Lv6, and Reflexes Lv6.]

….

“Let me get this straight. I’m inside a game world, and you, a game administrator, want to use my body to clear the game?”

An Xiaoyu had been grinding away at her newly purchased, deluxe edition AAA game that cost her 398. Maybe because she hadn’t slept for three days and three nights, her head suddenly felt dizzy, and she face-planted right onto the keyboard.

When she regained consciousness, she found herself in the current situation: a mere puppet with a first-person view of her own actions, but with zero control over her body.

“It’s not like I have a choice! I’m a victim here too. If I don’t clear the game, I can’t return to reality.”

You’ve got to be kidding me!
Aren’t you the game admin? Is it so hard to create a body? Why does it have to be mine?

An Xiaoyu wasn’t exactly dislike, just found the situation utterly ridiculous.

She had played countless games, but this hyper-realistic experience, far beyond VR, was a first. And of course, this guy using her body was also the most useless administrator she had ever encountered.

Xia Xi used An Xiaoyu’s body to facepalm.
Well, more accurately, he used this virtual version of An Xiaoyu’s body to facepalm.

As for why it was virtual…

“Hehe, I wonder which class I should pick~”

Bai Xiaocha’s voice also sounded in his mind.

As a cursor-like thing hovered over the “Select Class” option on the virtual panel in front of him, An Xiaoyu’s virtual outfit began to change accordingly.

A beautiful female knight in silver armor.
A healer in saintly robes.
A mage in a large cloak.
And of course, there were many other strange class outfits. Like the “Caveman” – which was literally just a leopard-skin skirt and a few leaves for cover. Then there were the beast-girl classes like “Kemonomimi,” “Nekomimi,” “Kitsunemimi,” which were particularly… impressive.

“I remember you said the task objective is to fully explore the Goblin Cave?” An Xiaoyu remained very calm. As a hardcore gamer girl who lived and breathed games, she was a top-tier pro.

“Yeah, why?” Xia Xi didn’t know why she was bringing this up.

They couldn’t communicate with Bai Xiaocha. Whatever class she wanted to pick was out of their control.

“I was just thinking… exploring a Goblin Cave, if you’re a Saint-class Healer…”

Goblins? A Saint Healer? Oh no… This combination sounds all too familiar…

“Indeed, if you want to train a loyal hound in a game, using a soft, cute, and adorable healer class is the way to go~”

We’re doomed…
Just what we were afraid of.

Bai Xiaocha without hesitation selected the Healer class for Xia Xi.

In other MMOs, it’s easy for a Healer to catch a few shrews and train some loyal followers, but this was different! He had no teammates!

What happens when a lone healer encounters goblins?

Xia Xi shook his head violently, not wanting to imagine those… classic scenes.

“Tch… Perfect! For a solo dungeon like this, a healer really adds to the challenge!” An Xiaoyu’s fighting spirit was burning brightly.

“Player An Xiaoyu, requesting control over the arms and legs.”

Xia Xi: “?”

What the…? Control can be granted in parts? And wouldn’t it be really weird for two people to control one body?

“Granted.”

Even though Xia Xi found it strange, it was still better to give control to An Xiaoyu. After all, she was a gaming pro, way better than his amateur self.

In an instant, Xia Xi felt he lost control of the arms and legs.

Since the torso itself can’t move actively—well, except for things like urination!

What Xia Xi could still control was basically just the head.

So…

“Stop! Why are you charging straight into the cave?!”
“How else are we supposed to clear it? Relax, just lie back. I’ll carry us to victory.”
“Do you plan to beat the goblins to death with the healer’s tome? Make them feel the weight of knowledge contained in books?!”

One of them wanted to start exploring immediately; the other wanted to observe first and see if there were any ways to boost their combat power.

And so, the “game character” An Xiaoyu assumed a bizarre posture: her feet kept marching forward, while her head and torso struggled frantically backward…
