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

Mu Zhixi lifted her foot and continued walking towards the library entrance.

"Wait a minute."

Yuexi's voice suddenly rang out. She stood up from the ground, dusted off her red dress, and walked a few steps to Mu Zhixi, blocking her way.

"What is it?" The beauty turned her head to the side, exuding an air of aloofness and superiority.

Yuexi looked at her; her stunningly beautiful face, full of divinity, appeared even more holy and captivating in the dim light of the library.

"May I...follow you?"

To follow you?

Everyone who reviewed the event, including the millions of viewers in the live stream, was stunned.

That's Yuexi! The "Queen of Cold Noodles," known for her speed, cold-bloodedness, madness, and selfishness!

He's the ruthless character that countless players on the forums have exposed, who once slaughtered an entire elite squad in order to monopolize the rewards!

But when they thought about who the other person wanted to follow, everyone felt relieved and even felt that the other person was trying to climb the social ladder.

Mu Zhixi was also somewhat surprised.

Follow me? She looked at Yuexi, who was blocking her way, but her mind was on something else entirely.

Sure, just give me some faith points.

"The Holy Land never rejects lost sheep." So, Mu Zhixi simply tilted her head slightly, her face beneath the white feathers revealing no emotion, her voice remaining as cold as ever.

She did not give a direct answer of "yes" or "no," but instead gave an ambiguous yet divine and inclusive answer.

The implication is that if you want to come, I won't refuse.

But whether you are qualified to be my follower is another matter.

Yuexi naturally understood the implied meaning.

If the other party readily accepts your request, it will be seen as a sign of poor judgment by others.

"I understand." Yuexi smiled and took a step back to make way for her, her posture graceful.

Watching from the side, Wen Gu's understanding of this Miss Number One was once again refreshed.

If she was powerful, mysterious, and unfathomable before, then...

Now, with the blessing of that achievement evaluation, all her actions have a new interpretation.

It's not that she doesn't understand the wickedness of people's hearts, but rather that she disdains to pay attention to it.

Her strength and background are powerful enough to protect her "innocence".

This is something even the gods favor!

As Wen Gu watched Mu Zhixi walk past Yue Xi, he suddenly remembered the last words left by the old royal court historian in the appendix of "The Lost Era".

So that's what it meant.

"Please don't let her encounter the bad you," not because she is weak and needs protection, but because... when she really encounters "bad," perhaps the whole world will have to pay the price for that "badness."

The wrath of the gods is not something everyone can withstand.

[I get it! That historian's line was written for us players!]

Let's not try to understand her using the dirty survival rules of gamers, and let's not try to manipulate or hurt her, because we can't afford the consequences!

[Upstairs, this is a warning! A warning not to court disaster! Have you forgotten that crazy lion who smashed the cup? That was just a cup she used; if someone actually dared to have any malicious intentions towards her... I don't even want to think about it.]

[I now think that Queen Yuexi's decision was absolutely the wisest choice! With such a powerful backer, we can practically roam freely in this strange world!]

[She's not just arrogant, she's practically driving an armored vehicle! Even the rules are softened for her, who else can do that?!]

...Mu Zhixi was completely unaware of the thoughts and feelings of the people behind her.

All she wanted to do now was leave this place of trouble as soon as possible, find a quiet corner, and properly study the newly acquired "Creator Panel," while also brainstorming ideas for her next alternate character.

Let's get a princess! We'll create a powerful figure like a judge or a knight commander!

Even if all else fails, we can at least get an Elf Queen, dang dang! That would make it easier to continue the next scene.

Just as she was about to walk out of the library, the cold system notification sound, without warning, once again resounded throughout the entire castle.

This time, the hints are no longer localized, but are directed to all players in this "Hunting Game" instance.

[Warning to all regions: Due to the intervention of special units, the original "hunt" rules in the instance have deviated uncontrollably.]

[Temporary Quest Issued: The Lost Crown]

[Mission Description: The princess of the old royal court seems to be searching for something; her lost crown may be hidden somewhere in this ancient castle.]

The first person to find the crown and return it to the "correct" one will gain the princess's favor and... the highest honor from the royal court.

[Mission Hint: The aura emanating from the crown seems closely connected to a certain "old friend" she has been unable to let go of for countless eras.]

As soon as the system notification sounded, within the blink of an eye, everyone in the library instinctively and cautiously turned their gazes toward the departing figure at the door.

The mission prompts... Having spanned several eras, is there a close connection with a certain "old friend"?

Who else could it be?

Who could be considered a "former friend" more than this "older sister"?

The old royal court? Princess? crown?

Mu Zhixi froze at the doorway.

What is all this about? When did she come up with all this stuff?

Looking at everyone's knowing looks, Mu Zhixi had only one thought in her mind.

Oh no, this "fake to real" passive ability seems a bit too intelligent. It's forcing her to work overtime to make another big profit!
