"If we had met someone with your looks and temperament before, I would have fallen in love with you at first sight and would never have forgotten you."

"Ok?"

Hearing this, Yuuki Asuna was stunned.

love at first sight?

What do you mean?

This Iwanaga Kotoko...actually fell in love with Asagiri at first sight?

035 Iwanaga Kotoko's unique talent

"Don't do this."

Asagiri remained unmoved by Iwanaga Kotoko's words, which sounded like a confession.

"Forget about love at first sight. Even if you put on a sexy reverse bunny girl outfit and pole dance in front of me, I won't trust you so easily and enter into any so-called cooperation with you."

"How heartless."

Iwanaga Kotoko pursed her lips, then held her cheek with one hand and smiled prettily.

"But I also like your ruthless yet slightly condescending attitude~"

When Yuuki Asuna heard this, her expression became a little complicated.

She never expected that in this dungeon with a total of five players, first two idiots appeared, and then two geniuses appeared.

This classmate Kotoko Iwanaga looks like a lady from a noble family, but why is it that when she speaks, she has an abstract air that is comparable to Asagiri?

"Well... Iwanaga-san."

Yuuki Asuna coughed twice and brought the topic back to where it was going.

"To be honest, neither he nor I can trust you. Conversely, you can't completely trust either of us, right? To put it bluntly, even if we truly have a so-called cooperative relationship, it's just empty talk when we can't trust each other absolutely. We might as well act separately to avoid having to be wary of each other."

"I see... Now that it's come to this, I won't hide it anymore."

Iwanaga Kotoko smiled, then looked at Asagiri and spoke slowly.

"I want to team up with you... oh yeah, and the person next to you. Not just for this dungeon, but to establish a long-term teammate relationship. How about that?"

Seeing that Iwanaga Kotoko described herself as an insignificant accessory, Yuuki Asuna felt a little displeased, frowned slightly, and said doubtfully.

"You're not... just because you're in love with him, so you want to team up with us, right?"

"How could that be? While that's a factor, it's not the decisive reason."

Iwanaga Kotoko said this first, and then explained patiently.

"You were able to solve the dungeon's most important mystery within an hour. Furthermore, the two players in the room just mentioned that their dungeon hint was 'Never attempt to fight evil spirits.' Yet, not only were you able to fight the evil spirits, you even had the energy to capture and torture them. This clearly proves that your abilities far surpass those of ordinary players."

"More importantly, when I suggested killing those two players possessed by a strange spirit, you didn't object and even suggested using them as cannon fodder. This shows you're not the kind of indecisive, soft-hearted saints. If you were that kind of person, I wouldn't have considered teaming up with you."

"Of course, you might think it's rather unusual and suspicious that a player like me, who dares to enter a dungeon alone, would be so eager to form a team. But I actually have my own reasons, which you should understand after reading this."

Having said that, Kotoko Iwanaga suddenly took out her mobile phone, clicked on the APP with the eye icon, and then placed the phone directly on the table without covering it.

"this..."

Yuuki Asuna was a little confused. After all, the personal panel in the APP can be said to be the most private thing for every player. It not only contains the real name and real age, but also displays the player’s current skills, equipment, props, talents, occupations, etc., all information.

Did Kotoko Iwanaga just take the initiative to expose her player panel?

As Asuna Yuuki thought about it, she looked at the screen of her mobile phone.

[Player Name: Iwanaga Kotoko]

[Physical Fitness Level: Weak (Physical fitness is higher than that of an average person, but the left leg is a prosthetic and cannot function at its normal level)]

【Player Level: Official】

[Exclusive Talent: Strange God of Wisdom]

[Weird God of Wisdom: All strange enemies with rational thinking ability (evil spirits, ghosts, vengeful spirits, monsters, and goblins) will not actively attack this player (except in a few special cases). You can observe "weird" auras and traces, and are immune to any mental attacks from strange things. The effects of "weird" skills are enhanced.]

[Negative Effects: Unable to master any skills or passive skills other than "Weird" types. When the physical value is too low, it is impossible to activate any skills, unable to equip most weapons and armor, and unable to unlock any professions other than "Weird" types.]

[Occupation: Unlocked]

[Equipment: Masquerade Mask, Princess's Cane]

[Masquerade Mask: A mask made of ordinary materials but with an extremely gorgeous appearance]

[Princess's Cane: A cane specially crafted by the monsters for their princess, Iwanaga Kotoko. The material is unknown, but it is extremely tough and difficult to damage. When equipped with this cane, the speed of mental power recovery is increased.]

"this..."

Noticing the surprised look on Yuuki Asuna's face after seeing her player panel, Iwanaga Kotoko smiled and said softly.

"Now you should understand, right? Without unlocking my profession, I have no combat power at all. I can't even master skills other than those of the weird type."

"Even if I mastered it, because of the negative effects of my unique talent, including the inability to equip most weapons and armor, and my physical disability, I'm not suitable for fighting on the front lines."

"In this dungeon, my unique talent is indeed very powerful, but if the dungeon I queue for next time doesn't involve so-called weirdness, then the advantages of my unique talent will not be able to be utilized, and only disadvantages will remain."

“So, I need teammates.”

Having said that, Kotoko Iwanaga looked at Asagiri who was sitting there. Obviously, she also knew that compared to Asuna Yuuki, Asagiri was the one who had the decision-making power.

"Well, what do you think? Someone like me has significant talent limitations and must rely on teammates, but I have excellent personal abilities and a similar work style to yours. I can also be very useful in weird dungeons, and I have no reason to betray you. So, I'm the perfect teammate, right?"

"It really is."

Asagiri nodded first, then looked at Yuuki Asuna and spoke with a smile.

"I think this Iwanaga Qinzi is quite a hero. Why don't we recruit her into our raiding group? Together we can conquer the dungeon and work on our grand plan. What do you think, my beloved?"

"Who...who is your beloved concubine? Stop shouting."

Yuuki Asuna first retorted with a blush on her pretty face, and then said with a hint of helplessness.

"Although what you said sounds like something out of the Water Margin, I won't complain this time. Since you've already made your decision, I won't object. After all, you're the leader.

036 The Three Brothers in the Mysterious Hotel

Upon hearing this, Asagiri nodded with satisfaction and chuckled.

"Well, my dear, your words are very comforting to me."

Yuuki Asuna was a little speechless: "Isn't this Water Margin? How did it become the emperor again?"

Asagiri replied confidently, "This is the Water Margin IF line, the Peach Garden Oath of War, and the super-enhanced version of the Three Kingdoms Gundam collaboration."

"What the hell are you talking about? Why did it change from Water Margin to the Three Kingdoms again..."

Asuna Yuuki rolled her eyes, then looked at Kotoko Iwanaga, who was sitting there, dignified and elegant like a lady from a noble family, and handed her cell phone to her.

"Iwanaga-san, since we've decided to team up, let's add him as a friend first."

"Okay."

Kotoko Iwanaga didn't say much, she just clicked on the APP with the eye icon, turned on the add friend function, and then gently touched Yuuki Asuna's phone.

[You have successfully added "Player" Yuuki Asuna as a friend]

[You have successfully added "Player" Iwanaga Kotoko as a friend]

"So that's your name..."

Kotoko Iwanaga glanced at the pop-up notification on the APP indicating that a friend had been successfully added, then handed her phone to Asagiri and said with a smile.

"Shall we add a friend too? Leader?"

"walk slowly."

[You have successfully added "Player" Iwanaga Kotoko as a friend]

[You have successfully added "Player" Utsunomiya Asagiri as a friend]

"So these are your two real names. So, Leader and Violet are the code names you used during the dungeon?"

"Yes."

Yuuki Asuna tucked her long hair by her ears and said lightly.

"In order to avoid revealing your real name in the dungeon, you should also choose a code name."

"A code name... Hmm, that sounds quite interesting... In that case, I'll be called..."

Iwanaga Kotoko looked like she was thinking seriously. After a few seconds, she tapped her chin with her white index finger and smiled playfully.

"Then my code name will be Leader's girlfriend~"

Yuuki Asuna was stunned when she heard this. It took her a few seconds to react and she frowned slightly.

"Hey, we're seriously picking out code names. Don't bring any ulterior motives here."

"I think it's pretty good."

Seeing that Iwanaga Kotoko was refusing to repent and seemed to really want to adopt that code name, Yuuki Asuna held her forehead and sighed, looking at Asagiri for help.

"Leader, tell me about her. How could she..."

"Yeah, how can you come up with such a code name?"

Asagiri shook his head seriously and spoke seriously.

"Let's put it this way. I'm the Butter Archer, and you'll definitely be a Warlock or something like that. We'll be called the Sausage Warlock, and Violet will be the Bread Swordsman!"

Yuuki Asuna rolled her eyes and complained unhappily.

"What kind of ridiculous codename is this? Are we some kind of Western fantasy sandwich combination? Besides, I'm a swordsman, and she might be a warlock, but your profession and talents have nothing to do with marksmen, right?"

"Haha, never mind. Do you know what this year's best shooting game is?"

"I don't know. I don't play games."

"It doesn't matter, because the award-winning piece wasn't a game, it was a piece of software called JM Paradise."

"Huh? What does that have to do with shooting?"

"So, you don't understand why I'm such a butter shooter. I'll explain it to you later."

"Okay...wait, no, what's good about that? You two, be serious!"

Yuuki Asuna suddenly realized that the topic had been diverted again without her realizing it, and said with a helpless look.

"I beg you two to come up with a proper code name, okay?"

"A proper code name... then..."

Asuna Yuuki was worried, fearing that the genius Kotoko Iwanaga would come up with some outrageous code name again. Fortunately, this time, the other party did not play tricks again, but gave a serious answer.

"Necro, how's it going?"

"Necro..."

Yuuki Asuna frowned slightly, thought about it carefully, and asked in confusion.

“Is there a word for this…?”

While Yuuki Asuna was still thinking, Asagiri spoke with a smile.

"Necro, it's named after the first five letters of the fictional book called the Necronomicon in the Cthulhu Mythos, right? It really suits you and fits your talent."

Iwanaga Kotoko said with great interest, "Oh? Leader, do you know something about Cthulhu?"

Asagiri waved his hand, and although his tone was very humble, he was obviously showing off.

"I understand a little bit, I understand a little bit."

Looking at the conversation between Iwanaga Kotoko and Asagiri, Yuuki Asuna suddenly felt a little sour in her heart and couldn't help but interrupt.

"In that case, your codename will be Necro. However, I'm still curious. You and Leader both have awakened unique talents. What exactly does the app use to determine the most suitable talents for players?"
