Where's the cute girl we were promised? She's completely wiped out S-rank dungeons!

This achievement will be added to your reward points, so keep up the good work!

The viewers in the live stream were also very excited. Song Yuan glanced at her fans. In her first game, she only received gray comments, and the only fluorescent blue comment was from "Being handsome is my sin." But now, blue comments had taken up almost a third of the screen.

Although most of the comments were from paid trolls recruited by Midnight Ghost, you could also vaguely see comments from normal players:

【Holy crap! Holy crap! Holy crap! Now it's all clear! Everything makes sense now. Seriously, what kind of stupid dungeon is this? "Killed because I wanted to"? Are they treating the players like idiots? What kind of motive is that for killing? To guess that is just plain ridiculous!】

[Iris God! Iris God, look here!!! Oh my god, after this game, is Iris God going to rise to the top again? You were ranked seventh on the newcomer leaderboard in the first game, so after this game, won't you be in the top three?!]

[Top three is out of the question. Making it into the top ten of the new talent list is nowhere near as difficult as making it into the top three, okay? But her ranking is definitely going to rise! Ahhhh, I can't take it anymore! At first, I thought she looked a bit fierce and not particularly outstanding, but now I think she's so cool!]

[+1 I'm really a fan of her looks, why isn't she on the beauty rankings?!]

[Recharge! Recharge as much as you can! Throw all my points into her, be obsessed with her, be crazy about her, be willing to bang my head against a wall for her!]

【But don't you guys think this second condition for passing the checkpoint is a bit far-fetched? Those who are trafficked are all women; how can you possibly associate them with the word "children"?】

I'll kill you if you're in front of me!

These NPCs are all unfortunate people, okay? They were all different ages when they entered this village; some were fifteen or sixteen, or even just two or three years old, and they were all their mothers' most cherished children, okay? What's so far-fetched about it!

[Haha, that's hilarious! Feeling sorry for the NPCs? Next time an NPC wants to eat you, remember to take a shower first, so they don't get diarrhea. Oh, and don't forget to carry some tissues in your pocket, so they can wipe their mouths afterward!]

After briefly glancing at the comments, Song Yuan checked her follower count. Her anonymous follower count had risen to 3.2 in this game. No one earns points easily in this game, so the fact that they were willing to spend money on her showed their genuine support.

Song Yuan closed the game panel and was about to divide the tasks to complete the second condition when she suddenly realized that the surrounding environment had subtly changed at some point:

The sky grew dark.

Although it was nighttime, the moonlight was very bright, providing the players with excellent illumination. Just a few seconds ago, the moon was obscured by dark clouds. She could no longer see the distant path or the surrounding houses; without the help of a flashlight, they would have difficulty moving freely.

Noticing this change, Song Yuan and Qiao Ran looked at the distant firelight:

Song Yuan: "The gunfire has weakened."

Qiao Ran: "Why are they all heading towards the back hill of the school?"

The other two looked bewildered. Zhao Meng, who was still grieving over her ex-boyfriend He Xiao, had been sniffling and crying. Hearing this, she also looked down the mountain.

"School? Is there anything special about it? Did the gunfire get weaker? I can't tell..."

Qiao Ran replied, "There's a cemetery behind the school. You can usually find some useful clues in places like that, but I went there with Song Yuan before and found nothing. We just forgot about it. I wonder what the monsters are doing there?"

Song Yuan stated confidently, "The gunfire has indeed weakened. If they only wanted to surround He Xiao, they could have stayed put. But the current situation seems more like they're driving him towards the school."

The air in that cemetery felt off; it was too cold and damp, and the torches went out automatically as soon as they entered the hill behind the school. After a brief moment of thought, Song Yuan turned to look at Qiao Ran:

"Just in case, let's go after him and see. If He Xiao is dead, his points and items will drop. If he's not dead, we'll finish him off." He then asked Zhao Meng and Cui Xiaofei, "If either of you is thinking of acting alone, say so now. If you want to continue working together, then follow my instructions."

Zhao Meng quickly raised her hand: "I'll listen to you! I'll stick with you guys, I definitely can't get through this dungeon by myself..."

Cui Xiaofei nodded weakly, "Okay, let's cooperate."

"That's settled then," Song Yuan and Qiao Ran headed to the back mountain. While the monster villagers were also gathering at the back mountain, Cui Xiaofei and Zhao Meng went to the village chief's house to find the account book. According to the records in the account book, they brought out all the women who had been trafficked from the village and gathered them at the village entrance until the four of them met up.

On the way to the back mountain with a flashlight, Song Yuan asked Qiao Ran:

"Will your talent still be usable after losing your weapon?"

Qiao Ran snapped her fingers, transforming back into the blonde, blue-eyed beauty she had been when they first met, and gave her an OK sign:

"Sure~ Talents and weapons aren't tied together. Weapons can be stolen, but talents won't disappear."

If that's the case, then Song Yuan was puzzled. She clearly remembered that Qiao Ran's talent was to change form by kissing the scales and to change form by stroking them?

"But what about your explanation of your talent? That's not what it says there."

"Oh, I filled that in myself. How about it, isn't it super cool? Of course, there needs to be a wind-up animation when using a talent, that's what makes it cool!"

Song Yuan: "...Oh, so snapping your fingers is also part of your prelude?"

Qiao Ran: "Hmm~ Although you can change even without fighting, you're still cooler after fighting, right?"

Whether it's high-class or not, I don't know, but it's definitely quite speechless.

Soon, the two arrived at the school. It was covered in bloodstains and footprints; the closer they got to the back of the mountain, the stronger the stench of blood and decay became. Dry fallen leaves were trampled into fine fragments, which then seeped into the blood-soaked soil. Just looking at it, it was clear that a riot had recently taken place.

Once here, you can go up the mountain by simply going around the teaching building. Before starting, Song Yuan warned Qiao Ran:

"Stop staying in this form and become Zhao Meng. In He Xiao's eyes, Zhao Meng and I didn't die in front of him; we can only be considered suspected dead. If you appear in front of him as Zhao Meng, you can at least come up with some excuse to deal with him."

Qiao Ran replied, "Okay, don't be so serious. I just thought this skin was pretty, so I used it a little longer."

After the snap of her fingers, Qiao Ran transformed into "Zhao Meng":

"Okay, so next we'll...!"

Just as Song Yuan lifted her foot, preparing to step into the back mountain area, a black hole half a meter in diameter suddenly unfolded beneath her feet. A powerful suction force pulled her into the hole, and a sudden feeling of weightlessness overwhelmed her. Qiao Ran instinctively reached out a hand towards her back and grabbed her wrist.

"Song Yuan!"

In the blink of an eye, the two of them disappeared together.
