Miss Dragon, the BOSS, will not be captured.

Honestly, with a full set of god-tier equipment and a hidden class, even launching a normal attack on these wolves would be considered bullying them.

Boom!

Just as Ye Qingxian was preparing to attack the wolf pack, an explosion suddenly occurred in the middle of the pack. The shockwave blew up large swaths of snow and produced black smoke.

The wolf pack's momentum was immediately weakened, followed by several more explosions, and the wolf pack began to flee in disarray.

Ye Qingxian looked around in confusion, then simply activated her reconnaissance skill and discovered several people standing under a tree a few hundred meters away.

"Hey! Miss over there, come over here quickly!"

A man shouted at Ye Qingxian at the top of his lungs. Ye Qingxian hesitated for a moment, but still ran towards them.

Based on what just happened, this group of people must have saved me, even though I didn't need to be saved at all.

In an instant, Ye Qingxian covered the distance of several hundred meters and found three people under the tree: two men and one woman, a middle-aged man with a big beard, and the rest were young men and women of similar age.

All three were wearing thick wool coats and wool hats that covered their faces, making them look very warm. However, Ye Qingxian couldn't see what they looked like because of this.

They were holding a projectile and a tube of explosives, which is what caused the explosion.

Ye Qingxian thought for a moment and decided it would be better for her to speak first: "Thank you for saving me."

"It's alright. We will rescue anyone who is in distress. The environment in the North is too harsh, so we should help each other."

"Yes, without you guys, I would have been eaten by wolves."

The other party's intentions were good, and Ye Qingxian naturally wanted to express her gratitude for their kindness.

“We are hunters who live nearby. What about you?” the woman among the three asked.

"I am a traveler passing through."

Ye Qingxian wondered if it was just her imagination, but the woman's voice sounded somewhat familiar.

“Father, sister, I don’t think this young lady needs our help at all,” the young man finally couldn’t help but say. “Look at her protective gear, it’s just… it’s just…”

As a hunter who makes a living by hunting, the young man was not very educated and couldn't find the right words to describe Ye Qingxian's equipment.

But anyone with a normal brain can see that Ye Qingxian's outfit is very expensive, even like a treasure.

After all, this armor looks like it's sparkling, it's really glowing!

Ye Qingxian couldn't say much, after all, this was a divine artifact, and the light effect alone was dazzling.

"Look at the sword in this young lady's hand. She can lift such a big and heavy sword so easily... Ouch!"

The young man cried out in pain as his sister stomped on his foot with her boots, while his father kicked him from behind, saying, "Shut up if you can't speak properly."

How could my son be so stupid? If only he were half as smart as his sister.

Couldn't he see that he was deliberately doing this powerful adventurer a favor, asking her to solve the village's urgent problem?

Section 242, Chapter 228: The Wicked Player

Although the young man's words were not intended as flattery, Ye Qingxian found them very pleasing. Now, she was considered a powerful expert and was respected wherever she went.

Although Ye Qingxian was like a helpless infant compared to the dragon at home, once she came to the outside world, her level 100 and super powerful equipment made her surpass 99% of people.

The middle-aged man looked up at the sky and said to Ye Qingxian, "Miss, a blizzard is coming soon. If this is your first time in the Northern Territory, I strongly suggest you come with us to the village. Otherwise, it will be difficult to survive the blizzard."

"snowstorm?"

Ye Qingxian had never personally experienced a blizzard, and her knowledge of it was limited to written descriptions.

The middle-aged man's words sounded very kind, and Ye Qingxian looked at his large beard, which couldn't be hidden by his mask, and fell into thought.

She now had to be careful. After traveling for so long, she was now far from the Netherworld Dragon Abyss. If she were to die by accident, she would only be resurrected in the Netherworld Dragon Abyss, meaning that all her travel efforts would have been in vain.

"Alright, I'll go back to the village with you. And if it's convenient, I'd also like to buy some food and water."

The bearded middle-aged man's expression behind his mask became very delighted: "Great! We will treat you to a warm welcome. Don't be fooled by what others say about us Northerners being barbaric; we are actually very hospitable."

Ye Qingxian wasn't particularly interested in the villages in the northern border, but if they genuinely showed goodwill, she would reciprocate accordingly.

She wasn't worried that the hunters' invitation was a trap; after all, her strength was undeniable, and she had nothing to worry about.

After experiencing countless overwhelming battles, Ye Qingxian was very confident in her strength.

"Please follow me."

The bearded middle-aged man led the way, while the young brother and sister walked side by side with Ye Qingxian and began to introduce themselves.

“My name is Norm, and this is my brother Noran.”

"Hello, my name is Ye Qingxian."

"Ye Qingxian? That sounds like the name of an adventurer from another world."

"I am indeed an adventurer from another world."

"..."

To Ye Qingxian's surprise, after she said those words, she could clearly feel the two siblings' bodies tremble.

At that moment, the bearded middle-aged man turned around, his tone suddenly becoming distant compared to before: "My name is Robert."

He seemed to want to say something more, but ultimately didn't.

Ye Qingxian had no idea what was going on. Ever since she revealed that she was an adventurer from another world, the atmosphere had suddenly become quite strange.

The usually talkative Nuoan fell silent, walking forward in silence just like his sister.

The silence made Ye Qingxian very uncomfortable. Finally, she couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong with the adventurers from another world? Why do you all seem to have something on your minds when you hear this?"

"..."

The three remained silent until Ye Qingxian stopped and indicated that she wouldn't leave unless they spoke, at which point they finally voiced their opinions.

"You adventurers from another world are very...free, you can do whatever you want without any restrictions, so that's why we think of you..."

Norm's voice trembled slightly as she spoke, but it was clear that she didn't want to offend Ye Qingxian.

Unfortunately, his outspoken younger brother, Noan, bluntly stated, "You adventurers from another world are a bunch of wicked bastards who rob our village and slaughter our people..."

"Noan!"

Robert, who was standing next to her, slapped himself across the face, then quickly explained to Ye Qingxian, "I'm sorry, Miss, don't listen to my son's nonsense..."

"What exactly is going on?"

From the moment they started, Ye Qingxian could clearly sense the hatred these people harbored towards the adventurers from another world.

The only response from the three was silence.

Ye Qingxian could only say in the end, "Listen to me, I come from the Kingdom of Fania, which is quite far from here. Although I am an adventurer, I am definitely not a bad person. On the contrary, I will kindly help others. If there is anything I can do to help you, please feel free to ask."

These words made the three of them waver. At this moment, Robert took off his mask, and his appearance made Ye Qingxian gasp.

Half of the middle-aged man's face was burned, and there were several irregular knife wounds on the other side of his face. He was also missing an eyeball, and the dark, empty look in his eyes made Ye Qingxian feel a little sad.

"What...what's wrong with you?"

"It's all thanks to you adventurers from another world."

Robert felt that Ye Qingxian didn't seem like a bad person; the aura she exuded was completely different from those demons. Therefore, after some hesitation, he finally answered Ye Qingxian's question.

He lived in a place called Ice Lake Village, named after its location next to an ice lake. His ancestors had lived there for generations. Although the environment was harsh, there was no war or famine. They traded materials obtained from hunting in the snowfields with the outside world, and every household was able to live a prosperous life.

However, this period of prosperity was short-lived. Everything changed when adventurers from another world arrived in this world.

It started with a small group of strangely dressed adventurers from another world visiting the village. They were quite polite and asked each villager if they had any quests to offer.

However, the villagers were not assigned any task. They were hospitable and treated the people well, but the people did not appreciate it. Instead, they cursed at them because they had not assigned any task.

From that time on, the villagers had a very bad impression of the otherworldly adventurers, but their nightmare had only just begun.

Since Ice Lake Village does not belong to any kingdom, attacking Ice Lake Village is unlikely to affect the reputation of otherworldly adventurers.

After all, they were just an ordinary village, and the village's defense force consisted only of the young men from each family. Not only did they lack the defense capabilities of a town, but they also received no help from the kingdom when they encountered difficulties.

"A group of adventurers from another world ravaged our village. They killed many people and looted every house..."

“My father was injured around that time; he almost died,” Norm added from the side, his voice somewhat cold.

"Moreover, the leader of that group said that they would come to our village again tomorrow to collect our wealth, and if we didn't hand over our property, they would completely raze the village to the ground."

"..."

Ye Qingxian couldn't believe her ears, finding it unbelievable, but she quickly realized the logic behind it.

In the eyes of players, these people are just data, NPCs, and killing them will not cause them any psychological pressure.

In addition, the game's censorship system ensures that there will be no scenes of blood and gore...

Therefore, some players will act recklessly and even do some heinous things.

Section 243, page 229: In the Name of Miss Silver Dragon

Ye Qingxian knew that this was normal. Although the Earth was now under the supervision of super AI, which had reduced crime from a low-probability event to something that would almost never happen, some people were born evil. If they could evade AI supervision, they would not hesitate to say things that were against humanity.

From a probabilistic perspective, it is also unavoidable that complex and unique individuals will inevitably emerge from among countless people.

Faya Continent uses virtual reality equipment to provide players on Earth with a completely realistic world where they can simply enjoy themselves without being bound by laws.

Although there are constraints in this world, at most you will suffer retaliation from the NPCs in this world. For example, killing someone in town will get you imprisoned or you will be punished by having your reputation reduced. But these punishments are not a big deal to the players.

Ye Qingxian had heard since entering the game that some players deliberately commit crimes in towns, making all towns want them, and then act as bandits in the wild, even attacking other players. If they don't want to lose experience after death, they have to pay money or hand over equipment.

Although Ye Qingxian had never met that kind of person, they definitely existed. Some people could not do things in real life, but they were able to fully express themselves in the game.

With over a billion players, it's absolutely impossible to say that there aren't a few million villains among them.

"I am deeply sorry for what you have been through, but please believe me that I am not that kind of person."

Seeing Robert's miserable state, Ye Qingxian felt quite distressed. Those players, relying on the fact that they could resurrect infinitely after death and were not subject to real-world legal punishment, did whatever they wanted to these "NPCs" in the game.

If it were before Ye Qingxian didn't know that the Faya Continent was the real world, she would at most feel uncomfortable upon hearing such a thing, but she wouldn't feel such extreme discomfort as she does now.

At this moment, the spirit of justice in her heart began to burn brightly. Now she had the power to change the miserable situation of these people.
