Take the Vampire Empress with you when the game launches!

Suddenly a terrifying sound came from behind Nanaf, making Nanaf tremble in fright.

She mechanically turned her head and found Melu looking at her with a kind expression.

"Ah! Hikari! Help me!"

Meru dragged Nanaf away, and Nanaf didn't forget to ask Hikari for help, but all she got in return was a friendly goodbye and a wave from Hikari.

"Shika-ri"

"Stop yelling. The cultivation of the fruit is at a critical stage. Be careful that the lord will punish you if anything goes wrong."

The cultivation of the advancement fruits is nearing completion, and they are just waiting for the new advancement fruits to be cultivated before they can attempt mass production.

"Hikari, welcome back."

Qin Yu welcomed Hikari back. Hikari was much stronger than before, which was obvious to the naked eye. But the most outrageous thing was that Hikari's aptitude had changed.

Hikari's original potential was only 7, but now it's 9...

Could going to the Trial Grounds really improve one's aptitude? That's even more powerful than aptitude-enhancing potions.

"My lord, I'm back and ready to serve you at any time."

Hikari is as diligent as ever, and she's ready to start work as soon as she gets back. She's so dedicated.

"No rush, you just need to give Hong some guidance."

"Yes!"

Hikari went to find Hong. Qin Yu glanced at the time; Bai Yueya and the others should have already finished signing the contract.

"servant……"

Yin Feixue suddenly appeared and called out to Qin Yu.

"What's wrong, Xiaoxue?"

"Luna has made a new discovery."

"Where is she?"

"Come with me."

Qin Yu didn't know what had happened, so he could only follow Yin Feixue. They left the territory and came to the mine that belonged to their territory.

Here, Luna floated in mid-air with a solemn expression. The azure moon enveloped the entire mine, and the other goblin robots responsible for mining had stopped working, clearly indicating that something was interfering with their operation.

"Humans, we've unearthed a rock of unknown origin deep within the mine. Its power has rendered all the goblin robots here malfunctioning..."

Just in case, Luna sealed off the area to prevent any further mishaps.

"There's no need to make such a big fuss about a machine malfunction."

After listening to Luna's description, Qin Yu roughly knew what had been dug out from below.

"Enough with the nonsense. If you don't care, I'll just blast it to pieces!"

Luna threatened.

"Yes, yes, thank you, Moon Goddess, for giving me..."

"Leaving behind electromagnetic ore..."

"Electromagnetic ore, what is that?"

"It's this thing below. It only exists in the main world. It's a kind of ore that can interfere with the operation of machinery and can only be mined manually..."

Qin Yu explained to the two that the goblins disliked this kind of ore because its presence only interfered with the operation of their machinery, and they wished that the ore would simply disappear.

So, indirectly speaking, this thing is the best weapon against mechanical units...

"So what exactly is the purpose of this thing?"

Luna asked, puzzled.

"Didn't I just say it? It interferes with the operation of the machinery."

Qin Yu saw Luna nod, she should understand, right? Seeing Luna slowly remove the Azure Moon, Qin Yu jumped down and landed smoothly with the cushioning of the Blood Shadow Cloak.

Yin Feixue and Luna followed Qin Yu down the stairs.

The electromagnetic ore, with only a corner exposed, directly interfered with all the goblin robots in the mine, and its destructive power was unimaginable.

According to research, this ore does not appear to be naturally formed; it seems more like a man-made weapon, but it is unknown why it was buried so deep here.

The main world holds many secrets that no one in the previous life could unravel, and the formation of electromagnetic ore is one of them.

Some speculate it's a relic left by a more powerful civilization, others guess it's a meteorite from another world...

Qin Yu didn't care where it came from, as long as it was usable, he put it back into his storage space. If he encountered those mechanically powered armies another day, he could just throw it out.

After the electromagnetic ore disappeared, the goblin robots in the mine started operating again.

"Have your relationship finally improved?"

Qin Yu looked at Luna and Yin Feixue and asked, since Yin Feixue had changed how she addressed Luna, calling her by her name instead of calling her "servant of a servant."

"No, it was just a normal conversation with Yin Feixue."

Luna crossed her arms and gave a small rebuttal.

"Servant, is your business with those people over?" Yin Feixue was naturally asking about her business with Bai Yueya and the others.

"It's over, that's why I came. Let's go back first."

The three returned, and on the way, Yin Feixue, who was carrying Qin Yu, still asked questions.

“Servant, don’t you think you’re gradually drifting away from this world?”

"..."

Yin Feixue's question caught Qin Yu off guard. He reflected on recent events and realized that he had indeed been busy with real-world matters, as he had made a group of friends in the real world...

"Yeah, they're practically abandoning us!"

Luna didn't forget to fan the flames from the sidelines, but this time she was on the same side as Yin Feixue.

"Well..." Qin Yu really couldn't refute it. "It seems so. If I didn't have any friends like before, I might have become even more addicted..."

In his previous life, Qin Yu was truly addicted to this game, one of the main reasons being that he had no friends to play with.

But now, he and Sugar Quixote are facing the same problem. Sugar Quixote didn't work hard because someone was guiding him, while Qin Yu met Bai Yueya and Sugar Quixote, and his progress surpassed that of other players, so he became more focused on practical matters.

"Master...may I call you Xiaoyu?"

Yin Feixue suddenly changed her attitude, no longer acting like a mistress, but like a little girlfriend.

"Of course you can, Xiaoxue, you can call me whatever you want."

"If this world causes you pain, you can choose to leave. You don't need to carry so much burden..."

After that incident, Yin Feixue gained a deeper understanding of Qin Yu. She felt that Qin Yu had been burdened with things he shouldn't have had to bear.

In the territory

Yin Feixue and Luna stayed in the room, while Qin Yu sat on the open grass of the territory, lost in thought.

"Is this really okay?" Luna couldn't help but complain. Qin Yu was usually indifferent to everything, but Yin Feixue's words had completely turned him into this.

“Even if we had another chance, fate is sometimes hard to change. He doesn’t need to risk everything for me again…”

Yin Feixue knew this feeling; something that didn't belong to her had been forced upon her.

"You two are really something, why make things so complicated?" Luna said, hands on her hips. She had learned about Qin Yu from Yin Feixue. The reason Yin Feixue told her was because she didn't want Qin Yu to continue like this.

Seeing Qin Yu with Don Quixote and Bai Yueya, she felt that Qin Yu had found a long-lost joy.

"Huh? Look, someone's gone to comfort her! Be careful, or someone might steal your husband away!"

Luna pointed over there, and the girls Qin Yu had rescued were all watching him. Finally, Hikari went up to him.

"My lord, what are you thinking about?"

Hikari, dressed in battle armor, sat down next to Qin Yu. She had noticed the girls and rushed over to ask what had happened. Qin Yu, Yin Feixue, and Luna had returned in this state.

"It's nothing, just some trivial matters. Hikari, you're now a qualified elven knight, congratulations..."

Qin Yu forced a smile and congratulated Hikari.

"Thank you, my lord. Actually, I almost didn't make it back..."

Hikari was speaking in a very calm tone about something terrifying; she was recounting her trials.

He told Qin Yu about the matter in that place.

"When I fell to the bottom of the lake, I heard many voices: Nanaf's, the voices of my fellow elves, my parents', and even the lord's..."

"Oh? What did I say?" Qin Yu hadn't expected to be involved.

Hikari continued, "The lord said that when I became an elven knight, it wasn't the end, but just the beginning. I should think about what to do with this power after becoming an elven knight..."

"..."

Qin Yu nodded. He seemed to have indeed said that. It seems that sometimes those who try to educate others end up being educated themselves.

"My goal was to first find Xiaoxue, then establish my own territory, gradually grow stronger, and finally destroy all the evil gods..."

"Now that we've reached the third step, I'm a little lost..."

"Is it because you met friends from your world?" Hikari suddenly asked with great insight.

"Probably. When someone has too many goals and too much pressure, they develop an escapist mentality and start thinking that living a simple life with friends wouldn't be so bad..."

"But on the other side is the future I know: endless disasters, countless deaths..."

Images of the disaster from his past life echoed in Qin Yu's mind. Back then, he was just an ordinary person, unable to change anything.

But now that he has the power to change things, he feels numb. Perhaps this is good, that everyone can live together in harmony.
