No health bar? You call this stunningly beautiful NPC sickly?

I really want to accidentally reveal my character panel and scare these players to tears! Let the world learn humility and make all idiots disappear!

Mu Zhixi sighed sincerely, wondering when she would be able to walk horizontally, vertically, and hop around in the bizarre game, taking one step and stopping at a time!

As for the players, that record from the royal court historian was like a boulder thrown into their already turbulent hearts, and the aftershocks lingered for a long time.

[“Reclaiming her lost power and past”... So, the “she” this historian speaks of is suffering from amnesia? And her power isn’t at its full potential?]

[This amount of information...so what we've seen before was just the tip of the iceberg?]

[Seriously, aren't you guys curious about Miss Number One's identity? And Miss Number One... *drools*! My wife!]

【Hey, hey, hey, even if we take a step back and say this, she's my wife, okay? If she isn't, I'm willing to be slapped a hundred times by the person I'm spreading rumors about!】

[What?! The person upstairs got to eat and take things, the reward's been mentioned, but what about the punishment?]

[You know how to enjoy yourself, but please give me a slap on my right cheek. Before the slap comes your sweet fragrance~]

[Wait, why is the camera angle in Miss Number One's livestream fixed instead of following her movements?]

Please, even Miss Number One might not be able to see her own face in the mirror. After all, gods have no form! And how dare you question Miss Number One's authority?

As a veteran who has seen the Moonlit Villa instance, I can only say I'm a huge fan of Number One! I'm crazy about Number One, and I'd bang my head against a wall for that goddess beauty!

The frenzied discussions in the live stream chat did not affect the eerie atmosphere in the village.

On the contrary, all the players present who were still mentally sound turned their attention to the silver-haired elf.

However, what they saw left them speechless.

The silver-haired girl casually tossed the thick diary aside, as if that secret, which could overturn the history of all races, was nothing more than an old story to her.

"I see," a hint of understanding flashed in Yuexi's beautiful eyes. She had seen all of Eileen's reactions and had already filled in the whole script in her mind.

"It seems that this historian was one of the witnesses who saw His Majesty break with the princesses back then, and this diary may be waiting for a destined person to uncover that long-buried truth."

Ling Xi nodded as if she understood, and asked softly, "Then...didn't Sister Eileen already know?"

"Perhaps," Yuexi's gaze fell on Eileen's exquisite profile. "Miss Eileen has a close relationship with His Majesty, so it's not surprising that she knows these secrets. Perhaps the reason she came here is... just to revisit this place and confirm some things."

Normally, Yuexi wouldn't say this much, but since her younger sister was there, she didn't mind sharing more information.

I doubt these people can deduce anything from just a few words.

[Ding-dong—The number of players remaining in the dungeon has dropped below 50%. Emergency replacement players have been deployed.]

[New races added: Blood Bats, Rock People, Phantom Butterflies... a total of seventy-one races have been incorporated into the competition.]

Just then, a cold system notification sounded in the minds of all players without warning.

To enhance the game's enjoyment, the special event "Arena of Friendship" is now live.

The sudden turn of events stunned all the players. The Arena of Friendship? The name sounded completely out of place with this bizarre dungeon.

Rule 1: All players will enter the arena in the order determined by a draw.

[Rule 2: Under the supervision of the referee, players must randomly select one person from their pool of "acquaintances and friends" as their "battle partner" to participate in the duel.]

[Rule 3: This event consists of three rounds: preliminary rounds, qualifying rounds, and the grand final. Supporting partners will be re-drawn for each round.]

[Rule Four: Exclusive livestream rooms for all participating races are now open. Your performance will determine the future of your race. Please showcase your "connections" to the fullest.]

After the rules were read aloud, the players in the entire village looked at each other, their expressions a mix of emotions.

A competition of connections?

What kind of outrageous rule is this?

These players, struggling to survive in this bizarre world, might only know the strongest figures among their own clans, such as elders or captains. But how much of a storm could those beings stir up in this game of gods fighting?

"These rules... are so unfair to us."

A newly joined Bloodbat player couldn't help but complain, "We just joined and haven't even figured out what's going on yet. The highest-level being we know is probably our teammates."

"Stop arguing. The rules say everyone you know counts, which means people you knew before you entered the game also count," a veteran player coldly interrupted him.

"Do you think this is child's play? When have the rules of this weird game ever been fair? Besides, the quotation marks indicate that the meaning has changed. It may be stricter, or it may just be that we've met once and are considered to be acquainted and friendly."

When it comes to connections, everyone's attention inevitably turns to those top players, especially Yuexi and the mysterious silver-haired elf.

How terrifying must their network of connections be?

Mu Zhixi found the rules rather strange; they seemed almost tailor-made for her.

She currently has three aliases: Goddess No. 1, Elf Irene No. 2, Fallen Sword Immortal No. 3, plus the Deep Sea High Priestess Siren, whom she had met once.

When Mu Zhixi possessed Eileen in the castle, she also summoned the high priest of the deep sea once using her skills and the ability to achieve true enlightenment. Now it can be considered a perfect match for her profession.

Not too many, not too few, just enough for her to finish three rounds of competition.

Mu Zhixi remained outwardly calm, but inwardly she was already making plans.

In the preliminary rounds, let the Sword Immortal make his appearance first, giving the players a little villainous shock.

In the qualifying rounds, let Aunt Siren come out again to show the strength of the "enemy" facing the Sanctuary.

As for the grand finale... naturally, it will be reserved for her, the goddess herself, to give the most magnificent and perfect farewell.

Mu Zhixi was very satisfied with her plan and even had high expectations for it.

What a fascinating expression these players will have when they discover that all the top beings they revere, speculate about, and even oppose have been summoned by the same person.

Of course, as long as you don't summon a certain royal court... it'll be fine...

Even if you're incredibly unlucky... it shouldn't be this bad...

Even if we take a step back and assume that one has reached the state of "refining emptiness to true reality" and does not exert any force, they should still be unable to summon it.

"Interesting," the woman in the red dress smiled slightly, and Yuexi seemed quite expectant. "It seems that the organizers of this game want us to witness firsthand what true 'power' really looks like."

She looked at Eileen, a smile playing on her lips, "Beautiful Miss Eileen, as your friend, I am honored and look forward to seeing your beauty."
