Miss Dragon, the BOSS, will not be captured.

If she didn't do that, Fenrir would pounce on her.

She strongly dislikes extensive physical contact with other living beings, and anyone who dares to do so should not blame her for being ruthless.

"What do you need? I'm super bored right now."

"You won't be bored for long." Estia's lips curled into a slight smile. "I'll have you and your men go easy on us."

As the first mini-boss, Fenrir commands a legion of magical beasts, numbering around thirty, which can form a small-scale beast horde if they charge together.

But so far, those incompetent players can only kill a maximum of two monsters each time they enter a dungeon, and that's only if the monsters don't attack together.

"Release the water?"

The puppy wagged its tail frantically, and she knew what that meant—a fight was about to break out!

"Next, I'll lower your level."

"Mmmmmmm!"

As the owner of the copy, Esther has this privilege.

She lowered Fenrir's level from LV300 to LV200, and the monsters under Fenrir's command were also downgraded.

Level 200 is still 50 levels above the normal level, making it a difficult challenge for players attempting to conquer dungeons.

Although Estia enjoys mocking the players, she has to admit that there are "pro players," or elite players, among them. Therefore, she believes that she should eventually be able to fight Fenrir.

If players still can't survive until Fenrir appears and die at the hands of the mobs, then why not just shut down the Abyss of the Underworld dungeon and just live a quiet life behind closed doors?

Without hesitation, after settling everything in, Esther immediately started posting on the player forum.

[“Estella is not cute”: Hey trash, are you still trying to clear dungeons today? This dungeon is so hard, I suggest you just give up. And even if you succeed, what's the point? That white-haired dragon girl is so ugly!]

Within seconds, Esther's post was flooded with replies, because countless people watch her posts every day.

Such provocative posts won't be deleted because administrators will also join the fray. Logically, Estria's fan base should be large enough to overwhelm this hater, however…

Almost every time, this hater is facing off against countless fans of Esther alone. What everyone can't understand is how tenacious this guy is.

Despite enduring so many verbal attacks, he showed no anger whatsoever, instead taking pleasure in it and frequently making sarcastic remarks to ignite everyone's fury.

Some players tried to dox this hater in real life, but despite using all their technical means, they couldn't find any clues related to the ID "Asteria is not cute".

In general, Estia's fans hate "Estia is not cute" to the core, but there's nothing they can do about it.

Estya had already turned off the private messaging function because she knew that nine out of ten messages were insulting her, so she might as well turn it off.

She loved watching the players get furious; it was a strange feeling.

Estia isn't mentally unstable; she didn't deliberately create an alias to smear herself. There's a reason she did it.

Only by constantly creating buzz can she become the most popular and influential among all the bosses.

Although she won't gain anything, Esther enjoys the sense of accomplishment, and she can also make money this way!

"Estya is not cute" is her biggest hater. Some players who are also haters want to follow her, but because she has turned off private chat and posts on the forum will not get replies, it is difficult to contact her.

Just when the haters were at their wits' end, Esther posted a message—allowing everyone to contact her via email, but each email must include at least 1000 gold coins, otherwise the email will not be delivered.

Gold coins are a currency that circulates worldwide and players use them. 1000 gold coins is a lot and will make most players feel the pinch.

Estia had seen players discussing this on the forums, saying things like 1000 gold coins were equivalent to 10,000 yuan in real life...

Unfortunately, she had no concept of "reality" and didn't know what ten thousand yuan could buy.

However, shortly after the post was published, many people did send emails. But they weren't haters who wanted to follow her; they were fans of Esther. Apart from 1000 gold coins, the emails were full of vulgar and offensive language.

That's right! Those fans actually spent gold coins to send emails to insult the hater "Estia is not cute"!

Esther happily pocketed the gold coins, her brain automatically filtering out those words.

To make it easier to collect money, she simply placed the mailbox right next to the throne, so she could easily receive emails from players.

The players were truly manipulated by her.

By simply manipulating players' emotions, you can make money while lying at home. Who wouldn't want to do that kind of business?

The white-haired dragon girl sat on the throne, swinging her legs and letting her long, smooth hair fall over her shoulders. She took a sip of red wine, her scarlet eyes reflected in the glass, giving her a somewhat sinister look.

Anyone who didn't know better would think she was a vampire who crawled out of a coffin.

Unfortunately, her clothes were disheveled, and her soft belly was even exposed. Her hair was not styled at all. Rather than sitting on the throne, she was slumped on it.

Estia is the final boss of the Abyss of the Netherworld, the strongest dragon species on the entire continent, and the "Silver Comet" who can destroy cities with a flick of her finger.

But ever since she reclaimed the ruins of the Dragon Kingdom, this dragon princess has become a shut-in dragon.

Since all the kingdom's citizens are gone anyway, there's no point in leaving her as the only member of the royal family. She might as well live a lazy life every day.

Player forums became her best form of entertainment, and sometimes she would become curious about what players were talking about in "reality".

Unfortunately, the player forum has rules that only discussions related to "games" are allowed.

Estia didn't care about all that; she was perfectly content as long as she could have some fun.

She made a bet with the AI ​​that maintains the world, betting that she wouldn't be successfully romanced by players within a year.

If she wins the bet, the AI ​​will tell her the truth about the destruction of the dragon kingdom, and she will also find out the cause of her parents' deaths.

But if I lose... Hmph, how could I possibly lose?

She is one of the most elite combat forces on the continent of Faya; even if all the players joined forces, they couldn't defeat her!

Therefore, it is absolutely impossible for her to be romanced by players.

Section 5, Chapter 003: A Girl Who Loves to Play Music

Moonlight shone through the glass onto the windowsill. Because the window wasn't closed tightly, a gust of wind blew it open completely.

The girl lying in bed began to tremble, and then woke up from her sleep.

The clock on the wall shows 10 p.m.

"Cough cough..."

A short, rapid cough echoed through the room. The girl covered her mouth with a handkerchief that she had placed on the bedside table beforehand to prevent the blood she coughed up from splattering elsewhere.

Her mother hadn't come home yet, probably busy with work and social engagements, but the girl didn't feel resentful because her mother was the only person she could rely on.

At just seventeen years old, she was suffering from two devastating illnesses—congenital lung failure and lung cancer.

Her father passed away before she could remember anything.

To live to seventeen is already a miracle; the tenacity of life is evident here. The young girl possessed a strong desire to live, yet…

I really can't hold on much longer.

A pleasant ringtone sounded. By then, the girl had stopped coughing and quickly picked up the phone from the bedside table. She saw that it was her mother calling.

"Qingxian, Mom won't be home tonight. It'll get colder and windy at night, so remember to close the windows tightly."

"Okay, Mom..."

Qingxian practically pressed her lips to the microphone, but her voice still sounded as soft as a whisper.

Because of her lung disease, she dares not speak in a normal voice at all, and this is the volume she usually uses.

After hanging up the phone, she put away the blood-stained handkerchief and then got up to close the window.

Standing by the window, she gazed at the moon for a while, lost in thought. Tonight's moon was a waxing crescent, and it even shared a character similar to one of the words in her name...

Ye Qingxian is her name.

Ye Qingxian didn't close the window until a cold wind brushed against her cheek.

As she returned to bed, her gaze fell upon the virtual reality equipment on the table.

She also plays the most popular game, "Faya Continent," and immerses herself in it all day long. After all, she's practically half-buried, and all she can do with the rest of her time is enjoy entertainment.

Virtual reality is connected through consciousness, so Ye Qingxian in the game is physically healthy and can try many things that are impossible in reality, such as speaking loudly, running around freely, or even eating excessively.

Evening is supposed to be rest time, but my mother isn't coming home tonight...

So she followed her desire to play games and prepared to activate the virtual reality device.

As a patient, Ye Qingxian's equipment differs from normal equipment, as it includes life and pathology monitoring devices. If she experiences any serious health problems while playing games, it will automatically inject life support fluid and notify the nearest medical emergency agency.

Normally, she also needs to receive life support injections three times a day to slow the deterioration of her condition.

As the virtual reality system loaded, her consciousness in reality gradually faded away.

call out!

A player with the game ID "叶晴弦" has logged in.

When she created her character, she honestly filled in her real name, and now she regrets it a little, but the name change card costs money.

Although many people like to use their real names, Ye Qingxian does not want to use her real name.

But she didn't want to waste any more money changing her name.

Many players of "Faya Continent" have reached the maximum level, which is LV100, but for players, reaching the maximum level is just the beginning of the game.

Many dungeons have a level 100 requirement for entry, and the quality of equipment and combat skills are the factors that determine victory.

Ye Qingxian wasn't interested in fighting, so she joined a small, casual guild where the main activities were fishing, farming, and traveling...

Her profession is a bard, and she is only level 43 at the moment. She chose this profession because it provides a bonus to playing music.

Ye Qingxian, whose name means "string" or "zither string," seems destined to be connected with music.

In reality, she enjoys playing music because plucking the strings doesn't require speaking.

Now she's even incorporated this hobby into her gaming.

By performing in the city, Ye Qingxian can receive a small amount of tips from players and NPCs. Although it's not much, it's her main source of income since she doesn't fight monsters or do many quests.

Because of her delicate appearance and serene beauty, coupled with her excellent playing skills, Ye Qingxian was quite well-known in the city where she lived.

"Hoo hoo! What should I do?"

In stark contrast to her soft-spoken nature in real life, Ye Qingxian in the game likes to shout when no one is around, as if she wants to unleash all the bitterness and pain in her lungs.

As for when there are other people around... she still maintains her elegance out of shyness.
