Miss Dragon, the BOSS, will not be captured.

Therefore, she decided that she would put in the effort to become a demigod this time, and if some unexpected event happened that would give her the opportunity to gain the favor of the public, that would be great.

The internal stellate psoriasis is also a problem; hopefully, with my strong constitution, I won't be affected by it...

Ye Qingxian's figure appeared in the distance, running towards them.

Ah... my beloved.

Esther, who was deep in thought about life, carefully observed Ye Qingxian, her face, her eyes, and her body.

She is no longer alone.

The members of Youjing Longyuan were her support, while Ye Qingxian was her spiritual pillar.

However, Ye Qingxian needs to find a way to improve her strength, as human power is simply too weak.

Ye Qingxian had already arrived in front of Esther, and she keenly noticed that Esther seemed to be in a much better mood, no longer wearing a distressed expression on her face.

However, she was still very worried about Ling Xue and the others. What exactly happened back then?

My birthday is in a few days, and I was planning to invite everyone I know...

"Xiao Ye, you've come at the right time. There's something I need to tell you."

"what's up?"

Ye Qingxian sat down next to Esther and leaned against her. Although it was cold due to the snow, Esther's body was warm.

"I haven't explained it to you properly before, but I now have the opportunity to become a demigod."

Estya carefully shared her mission information with Ye Qingxian and asked her if she had any good methods.

If it's about fighting, then Estya is very good at it, but if she wants to build good relationships with people, relying solely on Luo Huawu and the others' comic creations is far from enough.

After listening, Ye Qingxian fell into deep thought. Should she now try to gain public favor...?

"You can do good deeds and help people in need."

"Help them one by one? Even if I, as a dragon, have a long lifespan, I can't wait that long."

"You don't have to do them one by one. For example, you can fund the development of human cities in your own name. Those people should be grateful to you then."

"Would you?" Esther asked in return.

In her mind, humans are greedy creatures. Of course, it is undeniable that there are good people among them, but the proportion of bad people is not small either.

"How will you know if you don't try? Anyway, the system can provide good feedback, letting you know exactly how many people thank you."

"Besides, your intelligence agencies are all over the mainland, right? You can have them keep an eye out, and if anything big happens, you can go and stabilize the situation, or even offer assistance."

"Xiao Ye..."

Esther was gradually persuaded by Ye Qingxian, and she cupped Ye Qingxian's cheeks and kissed her: "I will try to do what you said, but does investing in human development require money?"

"Of course, it might cost a lot of money, but you have plenty of savings in your coffers, don't you?"

Ye Qingxian knew that As a dragon, Esther was naturally inclined to amass wealth. Although it wasn't as serious as she had imagined, it would still cost her a fortune if she were to use money to help others.

As expected, Estia hesitated. The gold coins in her vault served only as decoration, but even so, they were collected over nearly a thousand years. If she were to use them all to gain favor with other races...

Ye Qingxian advised again, "Think about it, isn't the reward for the mission to become a demigod? A demigod should be a god, right? That's a god, you know. Once you become a demigod, gold coins will be even less useful to you, not to mention that it will be much easier to get gold coins."

"Um……"

Estia knew that this was true; once she became a demigod, money would truly be useless to her.

“I’m not very good at these things, Xiao Ye, would you like to come with me?” Esther extended an invitation.

"Of course! But I'd like to know, if you really become a god in the future, will you become detached from worldly affairs?"

Ye Qingxian had read many fantasy and xuanhuan romance novels, and was afraid that Estheria had abandoned her seven emotions and six desires.

"How could that be? There's no need to worry about such things."

Esther cupped Ye Qingxian's face again and kissed her lips.

Because of the cold weather, Ye Qingxian's lips were a little cold, but this time, Estya would not give in until they warmed up.

She dispelled Ye Qingxian's worries with her actions.

Section 229 Group: 10②00③7⑨9② 215 Shocking, there's actually a main storyline!

Which race is the most miserable on the continent of Faya?

Oh no, this group cannot be considered a separate race; they are all human, but they are different from other humans.

They are—adventures from another world.

"Otherworld adventurers" is just a polite term used by the locals of Faya to refer to these people; in reality, they all call them indestructible tools.

As long as these intangible experience points and items are used as rewards, these "tools" will provide services at your beck and call.

When the tool people first arrived in this world, the natives of Faya were in great disarray, but they quickly accepted the reality and learned how to use them.

Players treat the locals of Faya as tools for issuing quests, while the locals of Faya treat the players as tools for completing quests.

Even though the characters are just tools, they're not without their tempers. To be honest, the game "Faya Continent" isn't very player-friendly. Since the game launched, players have only participated in some small-scale system events and side quests.

What about the main storyline? How can a story-driven online game not have a main storyline?!

Many players realize that they play a dispensable role in this world, which is quite upsetting for them. Games are meant to serve people. Before the invention of virtual reality devices, in traditional online games, players' identities were portrayed as crucial.

If Faya Continent weren't the only virtual reality game, the player quit rate would be terrifyingly high.

A loud bang came from the sky, and a system notification came from the heavens, startling the players while announcing an extremely important message.

Ding! Main quest activated! Players, please go to your respective designated main city to accept the quest!

The main city is the place where players resurrect after death. As long as a player dies outside the instance, they will resurrect at the "return point". The return point can only be bound to one city, and there is a limit to the number of cities that can be bound to it to avoid overcrowding.

Shortly after the news was released, the vast majority of players dropped what they were doing and flocked to the city, where every city was filled with a dense crowd of people.

The lord of each city personally went to the town square and issued quests to the arriving adventurers.

In the capital of the Kingdom of Fania, the mission was announced by Anstira.

At this moment, she stood awkwardly in the center of the square and announced: "According to the prophecy, the continent of Faya will soon become dangerous. I hope all adventurers will pay close attention to any anomalies in the wilderness. If you make any unexpected discoveries, please report them to me immediately."

However, only the local people of the capital stood in the square to listen to her speech, because the Kingdom of Fania was already a vassal of the Netherworld Dragon Source, and human adventurers had long been expelled from the country.

If that's the case, there's no need for an announcement at all! But the system insists on forcing her to come and go through a procedure.

Unexpectedly, there was indeed a human adventurer among the crowd.

"Me! Me! Me! I want to take on the mission!"

The black-haired girl approached Anstella, her eyes filled with anticipation.

"Where did these otherworldly adventurers come from? Weren't they all expelled? Guards! Guards!"

"Wait! Sister, we're on the same side!"

"What do you mean by 'one faction'? The Kingdom of Fania currently belongs to the monster faction."

"Yes, I'm also on the monster side."

The black-haired girl proudly took out her badge, a medal of the Dragonblade Legion, directly under the leadership of Esther.

This girl was Kelu. Because she and Ye Qingxian's mother, Chu Jinlan, were comrades in the beginner village, she coincidentally got involved with the Youjing Longyuan.

Previously, Estia decided to accept elite players as her subordinates on a small scale, thus creating the Dragonblade Legion. Kro was the first person used for testing. She went through many hardships to complete the task given by Estia and became the first member of the Dragonblade Legion.

Although she is currently the only member of the Dragonblade Legion.

"So, that's how it is."

Now Anstella understood why the system had forced her to speak; she hadn't expected there to actually be players waiting to receive the quest.

This girl is no ordinary person. Although she is a healing mage, she is Estia's subordinate.

"Ahem, well then, I'll tell you the goal of the main quest next."

Ding!

"Prelude to the Cataclysm - Phase 1: Unknown fragments that can be investigated will randomly appear in the wilderness. Deliver them to the relevant personnel in the city where they are located to unlock more story content. Please deliver at least 10 fragments to complete the mission."

"Oh, oh, oh! It's a collection mission! I love it!"

Koro usually spends most of her time wandering around in the wild, so this kind of task is a piece of cake for her.

"In that case, adventurer, embark on your great journey! I look forward to your success."

(Damn, what kind of lines are these? They're so embarrassing!)

Anstilla didn't want to feel the gaze of the crowd. Apart from Koruru, everyone present was a local from Faya, and in their eyes, her behavior was as shameful as could be.

Although everyone looked at her with understanding, Anstella really didn't want to stay in the square for even a second longer.

Kru happily left after accepting the mission, but things that Anstella would find troublesome were yet to come.

The storyline arranged by the system has ended, so the citizens in the square can now go about their own business.

They quickly surrounded Anstella, and everyone had only one question: why had the Kingdom of Fania become a vassal of the Dark Abyss?

"Your Highness, has that evil dragon coerced you? Let us fight her to the death!"

Even with things having reached this point, the people still believe in the royal family, but Anstilla knows in her heart that the royal family is about to disappoint them.

She and her father wanted to tell the real reason, but considering the current agitated emotions of the people, if they did, the Kingdom of Fania would probably soon face a civil war.

All those in the royal family who know the truth are now in a state of panic, wondering how they should explain this to the public.

The blame lies with Estia, whose reputation is so bad. Even if her father were to announce the merger with another human kingdom now, the public reaction wouldn't be as strong, since they are extremely loyal to the royal family.

But here's the problem: the reason the people are loyal to the royal family is that, for thousands of years, the Fania royal family has never backed down in the face of the tyranny of the evil dragon Estia. But now...

She was getting busy. She wondered if she should go and have a serious talk with Estia, and decide to cancel the vassal relationship altogether and switch to a covert vassalage...

Section 230, page 216: Fania Aid Program

Estia is determined to increase the favorability of various races towards her, so she needs to assess the current situation and then formulate a plan.
