What do you mean by "this is a dating game"?

Oz hasn't changed at all.

Anyone who sees her for the first time will be amazed by her incredible amount of hair.

Her long, jet-black hair grew wildly, thick and dense, and paired with her delicate little face, she resembled a lion cat, exuding indescribable gentleness.

After that.

People will notice her eyes.

Oz's eyes were exceptionally exquisite; the contours of his eye sockets and the curves at the corners of his eyes were so perfectly crafted that they seemed fragile.

It seemed as if her beauty would be shattered if she blinked even once.

pity.

Her eyes were always lifeless, carrying a look that was hard to describe as either as deathly ashes or detached indifference, lacking vitality.

Sieg stood frozen in place.

It's not surprising that Oz knew the "spell".

The tricky part is, should we accept it?

Oz, what do you want to know?

"Your Excellency, why won't you accept?"

Oz sighed, "I can sense that I've triggered some kind of spell. You're looking at me right now, aren't you? Or... is it because I'm too powerful that you're afraid to face me?"

"..."

How arrogant this woman is!

Given the current situation, confronting Oz is highly probable; it's not something Sieg can simply decide to avoid.

The best outcome would be for them to meet as the Lord of the Fire Palace, rather than as Sig, during their first meeting after being separated.

There is no room for hesitation.

We must muster our courage immediately.

Sieg raised his hand, donned the Mist Robe, and decisively touched the pure white flame. Endless darkness flowed down, and he was already seated behind the round table.

In the shadows ahead stood a petite human figure, about 1.6 meters tall.

His bright red eyes gleamed as he stared directly at Sieg.

Pure magic surged in from all directions, searching for any possible openings to infiltrate; this was perception magic, and Oz was attempting to steal Sig's information.

only--

The Mist Robe is the first layer of protection.

The Crown of the Eastern Demon King is the second layer of protection.

Both of these have absolute power, which Oz cannot overcome in his current state; she is powerless to do anything about it.

"Sizzle."

Sieg lit the kerosene lamp methodically and looked at Oz: "Welcome. Great witch, Lord Oz."

Oz's skirt opened like the pages of a book.

Sieg read her message:

Name: Oz

[Race: Witch]

[Class: Grand Witch]

[Rank: 9]

Favorite item: Opera cake.

What I dislike: Idiots.

Her current situation is protected by the Eternal River of Night and cannot be known. All you need to know is that she is powerful.

"I thought you were just a charlatan seeking fame and fortune, but I didn't expect you to have some tricks up your sleeve. This space is quite nice; it's a bit small and dark, but it has a strange effect of repelling force, which is quite impressive."

As Oz spoke, he sat down at the round table.

Sieg really wanted to ask her how she knew that weapons were forbidden here. Did she try to attack as soon as they met?

Does she have to be so short-tempered? What did I ever do to you?

Oz showed no respect. She looked Sieg straight in the eye and said, "However, 'all questions about the Fire Palace can be answered by you'? Whether you are as capable as you claim remains to be seen."

"I never lie."

Sieg gave a restrained response.

Oz said matter-of-factly, "I only need to ask one question to know whether you're bluffing or if you really have something to offer—Lord of the Palace, could you please tell me what this so-called 'player' is?"

"??"

Sieg was somewhat dazed; he wondered if he had misheard.

"Player", is that right?

The word coming from Oz's mouth truly felt like breaking the fourth wall, and Sieg felt a chill run down his spine.

Upon reflection, this doesn't seem surprising.

"Love in the World of Sui" is an immersive game where players can interact with NPCs without barriers.

When playing games, Sieg is certainly not very serious, and he often uses modern words and internet slang, which are quite common.

Sieg couldn't recall whether he had used any "techniques" like "player" in front of Oz.

It's highly likely.

and--

Is Sieg the only one who is special?

Are there no other transmigrators who are also players on this vast land?

It's hard to say.

Just like aliens, given the vast universe and countless galaxies, it's reasonable that Earth is the only planet to have given birth to life, and it's also reasonable that aliens truly exist.

It is foreseeable that other players exist in the world of Sui.

"An interesting question."

Sieg still gave a restrained response.

He looked at Oz and asked again, "Lord Oz, what kind of answer do you hope to receive?"

Oz remained calm: "You are free to speak."

"..."

Ok.

If we don't put her through some real hardship, she'll really think the title of Lord of the Fire Palace is just an empty name.

After a moment's thought, Sieg put himself in the shoes of the Lord of the Fire Palace—a special and superior being in the Fire World—and he wanted to explain the "player" from this perspective.

"It is a strange life form. It dies and comes back to life, wanders aimlessly, and seems to exist in any era, yet its origins are impossible to discover."

Sieg calmly recounted the events.

He chuckled. "My abilities also have limits. This is my entire understanding of players."

A hint of life appeared on Oz's face.

It's so fine that you can't even notice it without careful observation.

She said, "I acknowledge your expertise; you really are a knowledgeable guy."

"...Brother Dong?"

"This is the language of players, meaning they are experienced and knowledgeable. Players have their own language system, which is very—profound."

In the Oz save file, Sieg spouts words that are incomprehensible to ordinary people, such as "sent away" and "imprisoned."

Although she didn't repeat it, with her comprehension ability, she had already grasped all the key points of the semantic context, except for some that she simply couldn't understand.

For example, the activation of Genshin Impact and the "Old Ku God" are completely meaningless.

Oz was straightforward; she was just doing it on a whim, chanting spells for fun when she had nothing else to ask, and didn't actually have anything she wanted to ask.

Since she was already there, she simply said, "Should I ask something?"

"No need. I respect the strong, and I welcome casual conversation."

"Really? I'd better ask something, just in case you think I'm being rude."

Oz considered for a moment, then asked, "Of all the paths to godhood, three are extremely special. One of them, called the 'Fusion Path,' requires the successor to master at least three paths, is that right?"

"Yes."

[Integration Approach], one of the three ultimate approaches.

This path is difficult and complex, requiring adventurers to have at least three paths.

The sequence of fusion pathways depends on the lowest of the three pathways.

Its advancement is extremely difficult, especially after Sequence Six – there are fewer than a hundred Sequence Six seats available through any means.

Becoming a Sequence Six of a path is already incredibly difficult, let alone controlling three at the same time.

Oz then asked, "If I want to reduce the difficulty, which three ordinary paths do you think I should choose?"

Choosing any of these three options is so difficult!

Sieg was speechless.

Since Oz is already at rank 9, she can only entrust others to race. Ranks 1 to 6 are fine, since there are as many adventurers as ants at that stage, and there will always be someone willing to help.

Once you reach the 7th or 8th tier, even if you're willing to bleed and offer a large sum of money in exchange, it's not guaranteed that anyone will be willing to lend a helping hand.

Strategic-level military force would make anyone wary.

Sieg paused for a moment, then raised his hand and gathered red light—the Curse of Certain Death.

He said, "That's a good question. Your Excellency Oz, you'll need to pay a price to get the answer."
