Chapter 18: An unusual feeling.
"That's right, it's okay."
Although he was upset in his heart that he had not succeeded, Chris naturally did not show it on the surface. Although he was cursing in his mind, Chris did not take the problem seriously. In his opinion, Linsha's personality was too introverted, and there was no doubt that it was only a matter of time before she would accept him.
After all, the memory of the original owner had given him confidence, but Chris would never have imagined that Linsha's suspicion of him had intensified at this time.
[Unbelievable—would Chris want to hold my hand in the street?!]
At this moment, Chris, in front of Linsha, became a stranger again! Knowing that Chris was just as introverted as her, how could he have the nerve to do such a thing in a crowded place?
In fact, it could be said that Chris' move was completely wrong! This is also related to his personal experience. As a contestant, he comes from a world where men and women are very open. In this world, Chris, who has good circumstances, can easily get the opportunity to have sex with women. So in his concept, a woman should just deal with it casually and then go to sleep. Why waste time and energy?
In fact, he died from being overly pampered before coming to the competition, and after coming to this world, he couldn't walk as soon as he saw Linsha! He had been thinking a lot about sleeping with Linsha, and even though the memories of the original owner were there, he chose to ignore them.
If Chris's original world was extraordinarily open, this world is relatively conservative, to the point that if you kiss a girl, you will be responsible for her for the rest of your life. This is especially true for aristocrats, who have a lot of etiquette. How can aristocratic men and women hold hands in public before concluding a marriage contract?
With this thought in mind, Linsha looked at Chris as if he were a stranger! Remembering Chris trying to grab her arm in the cave the day before yesterday and almost falling on her yesterday, Linsha's heart became increasingly confused.
Chris, Why do I feel like he is a different person? How is that?
However, her behavior continued for about a second, and Linsha immediately felt that her originally chaotic emotions had suddenly calmed down! She quickly stopped staring at Chris strangely and turned to her usual expression. This may be the first time Linsha has acted in front of Chris.
Although Linsha's expression was a little unnatural, and she clearly wanted to show shyness, there was no blush on her face. But Chris didn't seem to care about this matter; he just kept walking aside with a polite smile, and such a smile seemed to Linsha to be inexplicably bad.

"Shhh!!"
In the wilderness, Chris was holding a red dagger inlaid with runes, and a huge flame appeared from the tip of the dagger, then struck dozens of goblins not far away.
"Boommmm!!!"
There was a loud bang, and the fireball hit the gap where the goblins were standing. The heat wave caused five goblins to fall to the ground, and the force of the fireball instantly frightened the goblins!
"Ahhhh!"
"Grrrrrr!"
For a moment, the goblins were so frightened that they hurriedly ran away, but Chris did not pursue them. Instead, he showed a shameless smile to the Linsha next to him and said, "Look, I said I wouldn't kill them."
This is Chris's strategy: use the fire-attributed magic dagger he just got from home to use great and powerful skills on the goblins to scare them away. This way, Linsha's idea of not killing monsters can be achieved.
If Lin Te and Keck were here, they definitely wouldn't let those goblins go. Don't look at the fact that these goblins are running amok right now just because Chris can't beat them; however, the next time they encounter humans weaker than them, they will have a different outlook.
But Linsha had always believed that the goblins who were released would change their ways so that the two old men would suffer from high blood pressure! Now Chris was willing to let the goblins go in order to make Linsha happy, but he saw no trace of joy on Linsha's face.
"That's great. Thank you, Mr. Chris."
A faint smile appeared on Little Linsha's face, then she lowered her waist and began collecting the red jade stones needed for the Adventurer's Guild's mission.
What happened? This looks a little different than I expected!
Chris stood aside, holding the red dagger, always feeling that something was wrong. Obviously, the day before yesterday, he had just been talking to Linsha, and Linsha had a smile on her face! However, today he helped her a lot, but her reaction was indifferent?
Is it possible that she's still mad at me for yelling at the front desk lady yesterday? I thought the progress in the strategy game increased this morning; is this just my imagination?
"Miss Linsha..."
Thinking of this, Chris scratched his head and sincerely apologized to Linsha: "There were a lot of things this morning; I forgot to tell you... I'm sorry! No matter what, I shouldn't have shouted at Miss Tenys yesterday. I'll wait for her in the afternoon. I will also go to her to apologize when I come to the guild."
Hearing Chris's sincere apology, Linsha's expression changed slightly. Because of Chris's apologetic tone, it felt quite familiar.
The reason is also funny, because in his previous life Chris never apologized, so now he has to use the original owner's way of thinking and tone if he wants to apologize, and this sudden incident makes Linsha feel sad and strange.
"You should really go and apologize to Miss Tenys."
After collecting the rubies, Linsha stood up and spoke to Chris sideways. Even though she said that, Chris could clearly feel that Linsha's mood was much better!
"Yes, yes! I'll apologize in the afternoon!"
Suddenly, Chris felt like he could do it again! Although he didn't dare to hold Linsha's hand this time, he might even wave the dagger in his hand to show off!
"Miss Linsha, don't worry!"
"As long as I'm here, there won't be any casualties today," he said, patting his chest confidently.
Even though his current level is only LV15, with the props given to him by his father, the Earl, none of the monsters in this region are opponents to him! As for the LV20 goblin warrior, he would have a way to deal with him later, but now Chris just needed to fulfill Linsha's request to increase her favor!
"Fine, thank you."
But when she heard the word "casualties" from Chris's mouth, Linsha's body couldn't help but tremble slightly. Suddenly, she realized that something was wrong with herself.
Because she had left so many goblins now, she would naturally feel very satisfied. However, for some reason this time, Linsha's heart was empty.
