Miss Dragon, the BOSS, will not be captured.

Estia wanted to hear what humans thought of her.

"Have you guys read the 'Tears of the Silver Dragon' comic? It's simply the best fan art I've ever seen."

"I agree. I was very moved after reading it, and I really can't wait to see the next episode."

"This fan comic also broke records, garnering over 10 billion views within 24 hours of its release."

"Who is the author team behind this? They are incredibly talented."

The young people were discussing amongst themselves, and a girl in the crowd listened quietly to them, a hint of pride in her eyes.

Esther was amazed at how small the world was. If she wasn't mistaken, wasn't this girl Luo Huawu?

Should we go say hello? Also, what comics are they talking about?

At this time, Esther was unaware that the comic featuring her as the protagonist had become the most popular work recently, and she had not used the player forum during this period.

"Everyone! I've printed out the comics!"

A girl ran from a distance, holding a bound book in her hands.

Luo Huawu finally spoke up: "Hey, isn't this kind of behavior considered an infringement of the creator's copyright?"

"Xiao Luo, what are you thinking? Where does the copyright come from for derivative works?"

"Yes, it is. If you don't believe me, you can check the user manual for 'Faya Continent'. All the derivative works created around this game are copyrighted."

"Hey, don't take it so seriously. We're just printing it out for ourselves, not to make a profit."

The girl patted Luo Huawu on the shoulder, then handed the comic to her other companions to look at.

She then said, "Sigh, the quality of this comic is really high. The artists who drew it must be top-notch in the industry. When will we be able to be as good as them..."

"Keep it up, Xiaoling! We haven't graduated yet, so let's keep working hard in the future."

Luo Huawu comforted her friend, then leaned over to look at the printed comics.

She drew half of the first chapter of this comic herself, which means she is the main artist. Although she lost the magic paintbrush, her own drawing skills are still very high.

The young people present were actually Luo Huawu's classmates. They were all art students, but Luo Huawu had never shown her true drawing skills and had always been very low-key. Even her closest friends did not know that she was one of the authors of this comic.

Of course, there was another reason why she didn't want to reveal her identity. If her classmates knew that she was a famous doujinshi artist, she would declare the club dead.

Luo Huawu looked at the empty space to her right with some confusion. There was clearly no one here, so why did it feel like someone was standing here?

Estya was secretly reading the comic, but because the other person was flipping through the pages too quickly, she couldn't read the whole story in one go.

But after reading only a few pages, Esther was intrigued and curious about how Luo Huawu had completed her task.

She decided to meet with Luo Huawu, but she would need to use some special methods.

She first ran into a deserted grove in the park, then used magic to hide her dragon features. Next, she conjured a white parasol, and after preparing, she walked out with the parasol in hand.

Although the time is the same on Earth and the continent of Faya, the seasons seem to be different. Although it is autumn, the weather is extremely hot, and the sun in the sky is like a giant furnace, so it is normal to hold a parasol under the scorching sun.

The main reason she hides her dragon features is that she has nowhere to put her big, fat tail; it would definitely be seen by humans and cause a commotion.

She needs to keep a low profile now.

Esther slowly walked up to Luo Huawu and called out, using the same address Luo Huawu's friends had used before, "Little Luo."

"Well?"

Luo Huawu heard an unusually familiar voice and couldn't immediately recognize who it was, but she was certain that the person knew her.

"Xiao Luo, come here for a second."

Estia held the umbrella low to cover her face. Although she had concealed her dragon features, people who had played the game would still recognize her face as Estia.

"Is he/she your friend?" Luo Huawu's classmate asked.

"Uh, I think so. I'll go check."

Luo Huawu ran to the girl holding the parasol, who gently lifted the parasol, revealing her face to Luo Huawu.

Upon seeing the girl with long silver hair and crimson eyes, Luo Huawu's eyes widened.

"Ai..."

"What do you mean, 'Ai'? Bring the comic over so I can see it."

"..."

Luo Huawu's body trembled slightly, and she took a step back, unable to hide the surprise on her face.

Her reaction was even stronger than Chu Jinlan's, as if she had seen a ghost.

"You're that surprised to see me?"

Luo Huawu's first reaction after her initial surprise was: "You...you...you're a player!?"

Indeed, the reason that NPCs are actually players pretending to be players is easier to believe than NPCs from games running into reality.

"Yes, yes, I'm a player. Let me see the comic first."

"This……"

Luo Huawu felt like she was dreaming. She never imagined that the famous Silver Dragon Estya was actually a real person. How did a player acquire such a powerful identity? Could the girl in front of her be a staff member of "Faya Continent"? Was she deliberately playing the role of a high-difficulty boss?

However, she quickly ran to her classmates and snatched the comic book away, saying, "Wait a minute, let me show it to my friend first."

"So she really is your friend. Who is she? Can you introduce her to us?"

"Well... cough cough."

Luo Huawu didn't say anything, but ran up to Esther with the comic book in her hand.

Just as Esther was about to open the comic book after finally getting her hands on it, an unexpected person appeared.

"Young Miss! How can you just wander off like that!"

Estya was startled and dropped the parasol.

It was Ling Xue!? How did she manage to catch up with me??

Wait, wasn't she under a hypnotic spell? She should be sleeping until the next day. Does she have such a strong immune system?

But now she needs to worry about more than just that; there's also—

"Holy crap! It's Estia herself!?"

"No, maybe it's cosplay? But it looks so real!"

When Luo Huawu's classmates saw Esther's face, the group of young men and women immediately surrounded her with shouts. Their cries attracted the attention of more people in the park. Anyone who had played the game and paid attention to Esther noticed the white-haired girl.

This scene resembled a public figure appearing in a park and being recognized by the public. Ling Xue, who came to find the young lady, was unable to approach Esther because of the commotion.

Section 171, page 161: What are you looking at? Haven't you ever seen someone with a stubborn head?

Faya Continent is the world's most popular virtual reality game, and there is no substitute for it. However, it is still a game at its core, and the largest group of players it attracts is young people.

The park where Luo Huawu and her classmates were was actually the park next to the university. Almost everyone strolling, resting, and chatting there was a young student, and almost everyone knew Esther.

At this moment, in their eyes, this girl with white hair, cosplaying as Esther, had achieved such a level of realism that they all suspected that the real Esther had broken through the dimensional barrier and appeared in reality.

Estia stared at Ling Xue with a reproachful look. This sudden appearance of hers had exposed her, but fortunately she had concealed her dragon features beforehand, which prevented a more serious commotion.

But what do these people mean by "roasting to death"?

"Young Miss, please come back with me first."

Ling Xue walked over and tried to take Estya's hand, but the latter pushed her away.

"Don't touch me."

In Miss Silver Dragon's eyes, this human woman was like a shadow, impossible to shake off.

She held the comic book in her hand, walked up to Luo Huawu, and stuffed a gold coin into her hand: "Consider it a purchase from me."

"These are... gold coins?"

Luo Huawu had once copied the gold coins in the game when she was training her drawing skills, so she recognized what this was and then regarded it as a replica of game merchandise.

Actually, these are the gold coins that Estella carries with her, just like the ones she gave to the restaurant staff before; they are genuine gold coins.

Estya had anticipated that Earth would be unable to access the system menu. In fact, even when she lived on the continent of Faya, she never fully trusted the so-called system.

Before the digitization of the continent of Faya, spatial magic items were already being used by various powerful individuals. Therefore, they did not need the so-called "system backpack." Most top-tier individuals had some resistance to digitization and preferred to place their assets and treasures in safer places.

Estya was like that; she stored her wealth in a treasure vault beneath the Netherworld Dragon Abyss and set up an impregnable defense, making it impossible for anyone to break through.

When she goes out, she prefers to store her items in the personal storage space rather than the backpack function provided by the system.

The spatial item on Estella's body was the inconspicuous bow tied to her tail. On the surface, it only served a decorative purpose, but in reality, it could store a large number of items. She stored some spare gold coins and items inside for emergencies.

To this day, she still doesn't understand why she ended up in the real world. Things always happen very suddenly. She inexplicably switched worlds. This is the second time already, and she doesn't know how many more times it will happen in the future.

At this moment, Ling Xue was still trying to persuade Esther: "Miss, please don't be so willful, okay?"

"Young Miss? She called you Young Miss?"

Luo Huawu stared blankly at the woman in the suit in front of her; she somewhat resembled a bodyguard in a movie.

As an excellent comic creator, Luo Huawu almost immediately guessed the silver-haired girl's family background. Being able to play a powerful NPC in the game, she must have a powerful family background...

Thinking about her previous interactions with Esther, which were essentially interactions with humans, Luo Huawu felt a chill run down her spine and felt extremely ashamed.

Ling Xue overlooked one thing: the curiosity of young people about things they are interested in. At this moment, the surrounding students gathered around, and many of them politely asked Esther if they could take a photo with her.

Ling Xue herself was also wondering, when did the young lady become so famous? But this was definitely not a good thing, because the hostile forces had been operating in the shadows, and she had to protect the young lady's safety with her life.

The streets outside are far too dangerous; it's not safe to linger for even a moment longer. If the young lady continues down this path... she's prepared to use force.

Ling Xue quietly put her hand in her pocket and gripped the powerful anesthetic spray, but someone was clearly a little faster than her.

A few hundred meters away, a man dressed in a black suit was lying on the roof of a building, his sniper rifle already set up.

Unexpectedly, Ai's silly daughter ran out into the street with only one bodyguard by her side. This was a perfect opportunity for assassination.

Neither Esther nor Ling Xue, caught up in their entanglement, were aware of the impending danger.

boom!

The bullet left the barrel, flying towards its target with a trail of flame. If this were a magical attack, Estya would have easily noticed it. However, the tiny bullet, combined with a speed far exceeding that of an arrow, left Estya with no time to react.
