Miss Dragon, the BOSS, will not be captured.

Estia transformed back into her original form and took to the air first. Since the Sun Plains weren't too far from the Abyss of the Netherworld, there was no need to use a teleportation array; flying back would be fine, and she could even lose some weight along the way...

Miss Silver Dragon is really troubled. If you say she's fat, her figure is actually perfect. If you say she's not fat, her tail is just a size larger than other dragons.

She's fatter than Fafnir, fatter than Fuffnir, and fatter than Nedhogg.

How can I make my tail a little thinner? Estia doesn't want to be called a fat-tailed dragon.

She flapped her wings forcefully in the air and soon left the Sun Plain. Most of the humans watching the battle dispersed with some disappointment, because in their eyes, the two dragons were not really fighting and it looked like they were just exchanging blows.

The members of Esther's fan club watched Esther leave, then carefully edited and saved the various videos.

In the eyes of the humans of the Kingdom of Fania, these adventurers from another world are all crazy for liking the evil dragon Estia. Even if Estia is cute, one cannot abandon principles because of appearance!

Humans and monsters will never be at peace. Every year, countless humans die in monster attacks. Many humans harbor deep hatred for monsters, but most of the time they believe they are too weak and can only rage in vain.

They will never understand that these adventurers from another world, though human, have always treated this world as a game. They actually like the domineering and charming villains even more because they don't really die, nor do they lose their families and their life's possessions.

"Sigh, when can I join another faction? I want to work for Dragon Girl."

A player's casual remark sparked a discussion among many players.

"Yes, this game is too monotonous right now. The only faction you can join is humans, and you can't go to places belonging to other races."

When Faya Continent was first promoted, it was touted as a fantasy world. As we all know, fantasy worlds are not only inhabited by humans, but also by various other fantastical races. However, when players create their race, they can only choose humans and cannot currently go to the cities of other races to do quests or live.

"After all, the major version of the game hasn't come out yet. I feel that the official team is actually holding back a lot of updates."

All players can see the current game version number – 0.98.

Based on some common knowledge about online games, integers usually indicate that a major version is coming soon, and it seems like it's coming soon. Since the game launched, there has never been a main storyline quest.

Many players also believe that the game's storyline couldn't possibly be so dull; otherwise, it would be a dereliction of duty on the part of the official team responsible for arranging the storyline.

Having not visited player forums for some time, Esther was unaware that since the previous Netherworld Invasion event began, numerous monsters from the Netherworld Dragon Abyss had appeared before the players, leading many to consider joining the monster faction, and related discussions were increasing.

Even if these players were asked to choose between good and evil, many players who knew this was a game would still choose to join the evil camp because of their chuunibyou (adolescent delusions of grandeur). They would kill the native inhabitants of Faya at will, and killing NPCs would not be a psychological burden for them.

The players' forums are buzzing with discussion about Estia again. This lovely silver dragon lady often appears in their lives, but although she seems close to them, she is always just out of reach.

"It's time."

In a tavern in the capital city of Fania, several players sat together, preparing to do something big.

The leader among them was Luo Huawu, who was wiping away tears with a handkerchief as she looked at the comic she had finished drawing.

The comic's content is truly touching.

This is the comic book created at Estella's request, a well-drawn and deep story suitable for all ages, titled "Silver Dragon's Tears: Chapter 1".

"Let's publish it now while Esther is still very popular!"

Since it's an all-ages comic, it can be directly published in the fan art section of the player forum.

Luo Huawu believes that most people who have read the beginning of this comic will be attracted by the character of Esther, and will develop a liking for Esther and a desire to see the second chapter.

"Sister Huawu, does this count as whitewashing the bad guys?"

An artist asked a question, and Luo Huawu immediately flicked him on the forehead: "What bad guy? Is Esther a bad guy?"

"Waaaaah, it doesn't count, it absolutely doesn't count."

During the painting process, they also developed feelings for the character of Esther.

Now all that needs to be done is to publish the comic.

Section 161 Taking a day off today

See you tomorrow! By the way, I'll be updating three times a day again tomorrow!

I'm currently out and unable to go home, which fully demonstrates the importance of having a stockpile of drafts, so I'm going to start working like crazy.

Section 162, Page 153: Not an illusion, but reality.

Estya, who had already returned to the Netherworld Dragon Abyss, was unaware that Luo Huawu had already completed the task she had given her brilliantly, and even achieved better results.

Her comics quickly became the hottest topic of discussion on the entire player forum. Asteia was already very popular, any high-quality fan art was bound to become a hit.

Luo Huawu assembled renowned doujinshi artists, and although this was their first time working in the field, they still showcased their superb drawing skills. At the same time, she also found a group of novelists with excellent writing skills and creative ideas to fabricate the plot, ultimately creating such a high-quality work, making its explosive popularity inevitable.

There are many fan-created works about Estia, and the Estia in these works all have different personalities and experiences. After all, they are fan-created works, so you can use your imagination.

The protagonist of "Silver Dragon's Tears," Estia, is clearly a positive character, and the story begins with her tragic childhood. The CGs released by the game's official team only explain a small part of the plot, which is far from enough to support the entire story of the manga. Therefore, the creators can only use their imagination to create a story of a pitiful silver dragon girl that makes people want to pity her.

At this time, Esther was searching for Ye Qingxian, and finally found her in the training ground of Youjing Longyuan.

"You didn't even tell me you were online?"

"A... Estya!?"

Ye Qingxian quickly wiped her sweat with a towel and then ran to Estya.

Even though it had only been a day since they last met, she seemed somewhat distant and didn't dare to be as affectionate with Esther as before.

"What happened? Why are you practicing so hard here?"

"Because the previous dungeon attempt failed... By the way, I clearly used a summoning skill, so why weren't you summoned there?"

"I don't know why, something must have gone wrong."

Estya was wondering whether the "hallucinations" she had seen before were real.

"Estella".

Ye Qingxian seemed to have something to say, but hesitated, unsure whether she should say it.

What she really wanted to ask was something about reality: was the silver-haired girl she had seen in the cafeteria actually Esther?

They look almost identical, except they lack dragon horns and tails.

"Just say what you want to say. Don't you consider me your beloved anymore?"

"Of course you are my dearest love!"

Without further hesitation, Ye Qingxian told Esther what she had seen with her own eyes: "When I returned to reality, I found that the place I was in had been attacked, and someone wanted to kill me."

"Huh!?"

Estia feigned surprise and asked with concern, "Are you alright?"

Ye Qingxian couldn't help but roll her eyes at Esther: "If I had something to do, would I still be here? But I don't care about that. What I care about is that I saw someone just like you in reality."

"Same as me?"

"Yes, except for the lack of dragon features, he looks exactly like you."

Wow, that's amazing?

"Estella, you wouldn't happen to be a player too, would you...?"

Ye Qingxian had this guess in her mind, but she also knew very well that the possibility of this guess was almost zero. How long had the game been open? It was probably not even a fraction of Esther's age.

"I wish I were a gamer, so I could meet you in real life and be together forever..."

At this moment, Esther's heart was pounding. Her previous experience was exactly the same as Ye Qingxian's description.

What was the 'Estella' you saw in reality doing back then?

"Eating in the cafeteria, and eating a lot."

"..."

It's true! She actually went to Earth?

She broke down the barriers between worlds? But she was clearly just data.

Estia thought of the woman named Ling Xue and how she addressed her as the young lady.

What's going on here?

As a native of the fantasy world, Esther thought of the most likely reason—she might have had her soul enter the body of that young lady, but if that were the case, why would she look the same?

If Ye Qingxuan enters the Calamity Star instance again and uses his skill to summon her again, will she go to Earth again?

The number of questions is really increasing.

"Speaking of which, since the dungeon failed, how much time do you have left to live?"

Estella was more concerned about Ye Qingxian's life than about seeing him on Earth.

"There are still 7 days left, but I don't seem to feel like I'm about to die at all."

Ye Qingxian was calm. She didn't panic or jump around because of her impending death. Perhaps the reason was that Esther was by her side, which made her feel at ease.

Realizing that summoning skills were useless, she knew that she would have to rely on her own strength to conquer future Calamity dungeons, which is why she had been practicing her skills in the training ground.

In future Calamity dungeons, she will never recklessly challenge missions that offer a large number of Star Crystal rewards. She has realized that the more rewards there are, the greater the difficulty. It is better to complete the basic mission requirements of the Calamity dungeon and get the guaranteed 1 Star Crystal.

Although one Star Crystal can only keep her alive for one day, as long as she grinds more dungeons, she can get more Star Crystals.

Ye Qingxian can now discover countless traces of calamities simply by activating her reconnaissance skill at night. She originally thought these calamities were rare, but she didn't expect them to be so numerous that she wouldn't have to worry about not having enough dungeons to fight.

The difficulty and content of each Calamity dungeon should be different, and whether you can pass it depends entirely on luck. But Ye Qingxian is not afraid, because if you fail or even die in the dungeon, you will only be teleported out and will not really die.

All of this was told to her by the World AI. During the time when Esther was not in the Netherworld Dragon Abyss, the World AI contacted her and told her a lot of information related to the Calamity Star.

She asked the world AI why it was helping her, but it just smiled and didn't say anything. Thinking about the super AI that had eliminated mercenaries and saved her in the real world, she felt even more confused.

Inside the research institute in reality, she saw a silver-haired girl who looked exactly like Esther, and a super AI who looked exactly like Ling. She really couldn't distinguish between the virtual and the real.

Her previous return to the real world was likely due to an attack, which disconnected her from the virtual reality device in an emergency. The benefit of reconnecting this time is that she can now use normal player system functions, such as the player forum.

"Let's not think about that now. Come here, let me hug you."

Estya stepped forward and gave Ye Qingxian a hug, expressing her encouragement to her lover: "Keep going, I'll find a way to help you."

At this moment, the most important thing for her was to find a way to see Ling, because in this world, only Ling could answer her questions.

The premise is that Ling is willing to tell her.
