At 3:55 a.m., Ye Qingxian's mother arrived at the hospital, still smelling of alcohol, and waited anxiously outside the emergency room.

Because of her work, she often socialized until midnight or simply didn't go home. Little did she know that it was during this time that her daughter got into trouble.

"Sigh, this child is destined to suffer from birth."

The attending physician in charge of emergency care shook his head. If society allowed euthanasia, this girl probably wouldn't have to suffer like this.

When the illness struck, blood clots kept coming out of her mouth. Medical tests revealed that her lungs were ulcerated and the cause could not be found.

The girl's face was contorted in pain, a clear indication of the extent of her suffering. Only after the painkiller was injected into her body did her expression ease somewhat.

"What disease do I have...please tell me."

Ye Qingxian tried to speak, but the syllables she wanted to utter turned into gurgling bubbles because of the blood buildup in her throat.

At first, her mother said she had lung failure, but after she vomited blood for the first time, her mother said she had lung cancer.

She searched online and found many suspicious points, but no one ever explained them to her.

Everyone around me said the same thing: enjoy the little life you have left.

At this moment, Ye Qingxian's hearing was extremely sensitive. Through the thick walls of the emergency room, she could hear the sound of rain hitting the stone steps outside, and it became clearer and clearer.

But her consciousness began to fade until she completely lost consciousness.

In a virtual world, a heavy rain happened to fall.

The Netherworld Dragon Abyss was originally the capital of the Dragon Kingdom. Over the millennia after the kingdom's destruction, it gradually transformed into a decaying ruin.

The surrounding trees and plants grew wildly, forming a forest that completely covered the ruins.

Therefore, in the secluded Dragon Abyss, sunlight rarely reaches the ground, making the area somewhat dark.

Estia, holding an umbrella, strolled alone through the ruins that were now just ruins. Most of her servants had gone to take shelter from the rain, and the rest were all water-loving creatures, such as plant-type monsters or water-type slimes.

Given Esther's current wealth, rebuilding the Dragon Kingdom would be a piece of cake, but she won't do it.

She is the princess of the Dragon Kingdom. Now she is the only one left in the royal family, and theoretically she could directly become the Dragon King.

But the kingdom's people are no longer here; leaving only a name is meaningless.

What happened in the Dragon Kingdom a thousand years ago when she was still a baby dragon?

Why was the royal family of the dragons almost wiped out in such a short period of time?

And what were the causes of death of my father and mother...?

Humans played only the role of accomplices in this, and Estia would not place all the hatred on humans.

The AI ​​that maintains the world is the only entity that can provide clues. The bet between Esther and her is that if Esther is not conquered within a year, she will learn the truth.

Whenever it rains, Esther goes to a certain place.

Her childhood memories were hazy, but that rainy night filled with bloodshed and killing left a deep impression on her. From then on, whenever it rained, she would recall that scene.

"Good afternoon, Father and Mother."

Estia bowed to the tombstone in front of her, then placed the flowers she had plucked from "Plant-type Monster Girl Anawin" on the way to the tombstone.

It's good to have a group of obedient subordinates, even though she had just secretly taken the rainwater while Anawen was enjoying it.

After everything was done, Esther stood in front of the tombstone and listened to the sound of rain.

Although she had many servants accompanying her in the Netherworld Dragon Abyss, she remained lonely throughout.

She is not arrogant; she can treat any creature with equality, even the lowest-ranking slime.

However, she also strongly resists anyone touching her body; shaking hands or touching her head are the bare minimum, of course, it's her touching other people's heads.

For so long, she had only touched other living beings with her hands; the rest of her body was "pure".

Rainwater gathered in front of the silver dragon girl, forming a small puddle that reflected her image in the water.

What a beautiful girl, what a pitiful girl...

She has a tragic past, having spent her entire childhood on the run.

But those experiences are all in the past, and she is now very comfortable with her stay-at-home life.

Hey~

"System notification: A player has already encountered the boss Fenrir for the first time."

"Ok?"

With the difficulty reduced, have any players finally managed to defeat the mobs before the boss?

Estia believed in the dog's abilities, but she still wanted to observe the dog's first battle.

Due to the unique nature of the Netherworld Dragon Abyss dungeon, players need to queue up when engaging in BOSS battles. This means that when dealing with mobs, the dungeon is divided into countless mirror images, and players fight the mobs in each of these mirror images separately.

When it comes to challenging the boss, players will be queued up according to the order in which they defeated the smaller monsters.

This setting only exists in all high-level dungeons. Not to mention the Netherworld Dragon Abyss, even in other high-level dungeons of normal difficulty, it is rare for several player teams to fight the boss at the same time.

Using the privileges of the instance owner, Estia entered the battle arena in an untouchable, stealthy state.

What came into view was a giant wolf as tall as a small mountain, covered in light blue fur, staring warily at the player team in front of her.

When Fenrir gets serious, its true form resembles a wolf, perhaps because wolves and dogs were related in ancient times.

"Awoo!!"

She looked up at the sky and let out a wolf howl. The weather, which had been raining, immediately changed, and snowflakes began to fall.

The players still did not launch an attack, but stood outside Fenrir's warning range, not daring to approach.

When you first encounter the boss of the Netherworld Dragon Abyss, you must study it carefully first.

Estia sized up the group of players. Needless to say, they were all at the maximum level, and their equipment looked excellent. They must be an organized and highly coordinated professional team.

The Dragon Abyss is a dungeon with a maximum capacity of 50 players and a minimum of 1 player. However, the number of players does not change the difficulty of the dungeon, so it is best to attempt it with a full team.

As a high-level dungeon, the mechanics of the Abyss of the Netherworld are ruthless. Once the entire party is wiped out, you'd better leave the dungeon; there's no way you can revive and fight again.

Furthermore, there is a 24-hour cooldown period after each entry into the dungeon, which greatly limits the players' progress.

Estia was eager to see what these players would do, hoping they wouldn't disappoint her.

Chapter 10, Episode 008: Throwing a Meat Bun at a Dog

The guild that successfully encountered the boss is called "Bearded Guild," and its leader is "Bearded Guy."

Although the name sounds a bit outrageous, this guild is actually ranked sixth among all guilds and focuses on dungeon strategies.

The bearded man is characterized by his brightly colored beard, and no one knows why his aesthetic sense is so bizarre.

If you ever forget what colors a rainbow is, just look at the chairman's beard.

As an elite team, their training level and equipment are naturally a cut above those of ordinary players.

However, the bearded man, who is the chairman, often comes up with some outlandish ideas.

When he created the guild, he said: "This is a game world, where we can step out of the established framework and unleash our imagination."

Therefore, the entire team stopped moving in front of the boss Fenrir.

According to the normal player's thinking, it is impossible to successfully defeat a high-level dungeon boss on the first encounter. The optimal solution is to fight the boss at your best, record the boss's behavior and attack methods, and prepare for a more experienced strategy next time.

However, the bearded man did not do that. He looked at the giant wolf (dog) not far away and pondered, and finally made a decision - to cook a meal!

Clang! Clang!

All the team members who had learned cooking skills set up pots and pans and turned the ingredients in their backpacks into all sorts of delicious food.

The team members were already used to the chairman's style, so no one raised any objections.

Estia, who was secretly observing, sensed something was wrong, but she couldn't interfere with the players' battle against the other bosses.

Fenrir, now a giant wolf, stared at the players' pots, her nose twitching as if she had smelled the aroma of food.

As the flames burned brighter, the food in the pot emitted an even richer aroma, making Fenrir's mouth water.

Due to the dungeon's design, the boss fight will not be triggered until players actively attack the boss or enter the boss's warning zone.

So Fenrir could only stand there and watch the humans make fires and cook, unaware that the food was actually meant for her.

"Is the food ready? Proceed according to my plan."

The bearded man trusted his judgment and focused his attention on the door behind Fenrir.

Can we distract the boss with food, then have everyone attack the gate and take the opportunity to pass the level?

This idea is so outrageous that no normal person would do it, but the bearded man insisted on trying it.

After all, that gate has health points, and only one-tenth of the boss's.

As the president, he walked to the front of the line, holding a freshly baked meat bun in his hand, and looked at Fenrir.

For a fleeting moment, Fenrir's gaze fell upon the steamed bun, and the bearded man instantly tossed it away.

Fenrir leaped backward, its claws gripping the ground, seemingly preparing to launch an attack.

However, the steamed bun didn't hit her; it flew at a 45-degree angle to the front of her right claw.

The players remained silent, Fenrir glancing between the bearded man and the meat bun.

Finally, she tilted the dog's head in slight confusion.

Wow! This wolf is so cute!

One of the female players in the team screamed.

"Hey, keep your voice down, what if it attacks?"

As it turns out, everyone was a bit too worried; Fenrir won't attack unless the relevant mechanism is triggered.

The aroma of the meat buns drew closer to Fenrir. Although they looked only the size of a fist, she couldn't resist going over and picking one up to eat.

"That stupid dog!"

Estia, who was secretly observing, felt a pang of heartache. She knew Fenrir was greedy, so she had repeatedly reminded him not to eat food given to him by others.

What if it's poisonous?
