[Ding! Favorability has risen 7 points and is now 96]
...
After the two got together, time seemed to go by in a flash. Before they knew it, they had already been together for three months, then six months, then a year. Their time spent together was sweet and cozy. They relished in the small nothings that mixed in with their everyday life.
They had picnics on Orion's Belt, swam along the river near Hu Xing's apartment, held hands while visiting history museums, kissed each other's face until they giggled, and said hello to the apparatus whenever it woke up. The two explored the galaxies as well as Hu Xing's home planet. Bai Wei even took Hu Xing to his home planet. It was a desolate planet with nothing but metal ,but Hu Xing was happy to visit the place of his love's origin.
Finally, on the eve of their second year together, Hu Xing walked back into his apartment after getting off work from his job. He had been promoted to senior vice manager and was presided over hundreds of artists now. He was tired from the extra work ,but his exhaustion was swept away the moment he walked back into the door. There was a line of rose pedals scattered from the doorway leading into the living room. Candles were in various places lighting the room and creating a romantic atmosphere. Finally, there at the end of the trail of roses was Bai Wei down on one knee. In his hand was a ring much like the one that Bai Wei had given to him when they first met.
"Will you marry me?"
Hu Xing was moved by the sight,but couldn't help but laugh. Bai Wei took this as a bad sign ,but Hu Xing rushed over to comfort him and pulled out a ring of his own.
He also got down on one knee and said "I love you, please marry me!" with tears of joy in his eyes. It was a night of pure happiness and love. The two shared multiple kisses, tears, laughs, and... other things.
The next morning, Bai Wei sat in bed admiring the rings on his ring finger. Bai Wei found himself facinated by the glimmer of the jewel and kept moving it around to reflect the light until a larger hand reached up from behind Bai Wei and intertwined their fingers together.
Hu Xing brought their clasped hands to his mouth and kissed Bai Wei's hand before groggily saying "Come sleep with me some more"
Bai Wei chuckled and kissed his chin before saying "okay" as he snuggled into the other's embrace once more.
The rest of their time together was uneventful but beautiful. Hu Xing aged gracefully and took the years in stride while also keeping up with his fitness. Bai Wei on the other hand didn't look as if he had aged a day since the first time they had met. The only things that gave away his age was the creaking of his joints, his slowed output, and the occasional electric shock.
Still, the mechanical race was not meant to live long lives and so Bai Wei left Hu Xing during their thirtieth year together. Hu Xing was only fifty-five at the time and desperately wanted nothing more than to follow his lover into the afterlife ,but he gritted his teeth and got to work. He worked to improve the political standing of humans within the inter-spacial community and gave humanity a voice among the alien races. He whitewashed the views of the mechanical race among the aliens and humans alike as well. He advocated for peace and prosperity, insuring that humanity would never face another doomsday event like they had in his youth regardless of the cause.
Finally, in his eighy- seventh year Hu Xing died a hero, leader, pacifist, and Bai Wei's husband. Both of their names went down in the history of humanity as the bringers of the spacial age of the humans.

In the system space, Bai Wei read out the information while patting the system's ,Hai's , fluffy head. When he was finished Hai shook out his tail and began announcing the rewards for the mission.
[Congratulations on completing the mission!!
World Difficulty: A
Total points earned: 1000 points ]
Bai Wei looked at his total points of 1,710 points and sighed happily. Maybe the 100,000 points for a second chance of life was doable.
....maybe
Bai Wei quickly selected one more books for randomized skills for twenty points and one randomized item draw for thirty points.
He watched the wheel of skills spin once more with interest. It looked rather mesmerizing with an array of different colors before finally stopping on a small green sliver that was so small Bai Wei couldn't read the writing in it. His curiosity was finally answered when Hua called out that he had won the skill for Martial Arts (karate)
Before he had a chance to admired this new skill he would learn, a different system appeared in front of him it was more of a lotto machine with three columns spinning with different words written in them. The first column was the ranking of the object. It stopped first and read B rank item. After that the second column stopped spinning, it was the column for category of the item. It stopped and said edible. Lastly the column for the items effect stopped spinning and read intellect based. Finally a pill appeared in Bai Wei's hand. The description of them appeared above them after a moment and read.
[Jim Bob's Miraculous Pill- This pill allows the person who ingests it to heal at faster speed and come back from guaranteed death.]
Bai Wei looked at the pill silently for a moment hoping that it would never come to him using it. After a moment, he stuffed the pill into Hua's inventory to hold onto it and then entered the training space. 100 years later Bai Wei emerged from the space. His body looked exactly the same as before he went in except that his muscles were obviously more toned.
Without any hesitation, Bai Wei immediately signaled to go to the next world.
