I was the fourth disaster in Yokohama and was loved by everyone.

Actually, I think sending flowers would be fine. As N's subordinate, I often see K sending flowers to N.

309L

I witnessed it too. But... actually, Lord K also sends things to Lord D.

310L

...Just between you and me, I wonder if everyone who's on good terms with Lord K has received flowers from him?

I'm not pretending anymore, I'll come clean: I actually received flowers from Mr. K! [smug][smug][smug]

314L

Actually, me too.

I also......

Chapter 196 (Limited)

While waiting for the game to update, Zhu Yu replied to messages from some relatives and friends, and then chatted with netizens about her recent gaming experience.

Netizens have mysteriously revealed that the latest update will be quite different.

Different? In what ways are they different?

Zhu Yu, who had originally planned to rest before playing, was immediately intrigued. As soon as the update notification sounded, she couldn't wait to enter the game pod.

[Game logging in...]

Unlike previous updates, a wave of dizziness washed over her instantly, making her thoughts feel like cotton soaked in water—heavy and limp.

Fortunately, the dizziness passed quickly in the blink of an eye, and she quickly browsed the update information that popped up from the system.

The game merges all activated and inactive maps together, and adds many unknown maps for players to explore.

In addition, some world-building settings and ability systems were added, and some bugs were fixed as usual.

She was somewhat prepared for these things, but what caught her attention was a message that suddenly popped up from the system.

— [The limited-time map "Jujutsu Chronicles: Heian-kyo Gathering" has been changed to the limited-time event "Heian-kyo Gathering". Will you start it?]

Open open open!

Click [YES].

[Player detected entering limited-time event. Current character card unusable. Please create initial avatar...]

[Character creation in progress...]

Watching the sudden character creation process, Zhu Yu thought back to how confident she used to be, and then...

Forget it, I'm too lazy to customize the character's face anymore.

Click on [Default].

Suddenly, a copy of her appeared before them, and they stood facing each other in bewilderment.

Zhu Yu pinched his chin, circled "her" once, and thought that he was already tired of seeing black hair and black eyes, so perhaps...

Quickly change the character's hair and eye color, then click "Confirm".

【Loading......】

[You were born at age 0. Where was your initial birth point?]

【A. City】

【B. Rural Areas】

【C. Random (Choose with caution)】

Fortunately, the save file was still usable, but there was only one save slot left. After saving, Zhu Yu decided to choose C to test the strength.

A flash of white light, and consciousness suddenly sank into a state of chaos. When I opened my eyes again, my body was lying on a large leaf, swaying gently with the waves.

She tried to raise her hands, but found that her limbs were short and limp, completely out of her control.

She has completely turned into a baby.

"Ugh..." She opened her mouth as if to say something, but only managed to utter a muffled syllable.

Zhu Yu: ......

No! Players shouldn't be like immobile babies!

No gaming experience at all!

Zhu Yu struggled to turn over, but to no avail.

The stream was shallow and clear, carrying the leaves as they floated slowly, the ripples creating tiny silver sparkles beneath them.

The leaves swayed gently with the stream, and her vision followed suit, sometimes showing lush green forests, sometimes birds flying overhead.

The water murmured softly, and the whole world was so quiet that it seemed only this leaf, drifting with the current, and she, the pitiful player, were left with no power to resist.

After drifting for a while, the sky gradually darkened, and the sunlight turned blood red.

Dusk has fallen, the hour of twilight has arrived.

Just as Zhu Yu was getting bored and was about to reload the save file and start over—

Something is approaching.

Suddenly, unnatural ripples appeared on the water's surface, one circle after another, as if unseen fingers were gently stirring them.

"It smells so good...it smells so good...look what I found?"

"It's the most delicate skin and flesh~"

"No, I found this! Give it to me, give it to me!"

Countless monsters were attracted and surrounded them in layers.

Pairs of eerie green and scarlet eyes gleamed underwater and in the forest, greedily locking onto the incredibly alluring body, vying to pounce on her—

Zhu Yu flipped through the panel, which was now back to square one, and after confirming that her pain sensitivity was off, she lay down peacefully.

I'm afraid I'll be eliminated right after landing in the first round.

Just as those pale arms were about to touch the leaves, a faint white light suddenly emanated from her body, as soft as a moon halo, yet it repelled all the demon's claws.

The monsters hissed in anger, but could not get any closer. The stream churned, and black mist filled the air. They lingered around unwillingly, their eyes filled with greed and anxiety.

—Until a shadow swept across the water.

The sound of wings tearing through the air startled the demon horde. The enormous Guhuoniao swooped down from the twilight, its black wings flapping and unleashing demonic power that instantly blasted away the surrounding monsters.

The monsters immediately scattered and fled.

Seeing that there were no more threats around, the Guhuoniao folded its wings and stared intently at the Zhuyu on the leaf.

Is it... an abandoned child?

The Guhuoniao, also known as "Shinu," is said to be "the transformed form of a woman who dies in childbirth." It sneaks into other people's homes at night to steal babies.

The deeply ingrained demonic quality of "nurturing children" held her gaze captive for a long time.

Finally, the Guhuoniao stretched out its wings and pulled the baby into its embrace.

Her feathers are not soft, but they provide excellent protection for her.

Zhu Yu curiously observed this creature she had never seen before, and unconsciously waved her little hand, managing to grab a feather from the Guhuoniao.

The Guhuoniao froze for a moment, then its eyes moved and met her gaze.

Like a human mother, she gently patted Zhu Yu's back and patiently coaxed him.

Then he folded his wings, secured her to his back, and flew away.

At one year old, you've become the "child of a monster," growing rapidly and already able to run and jump. What are your plans for the future?

A. Exercise

【B. Rest】

C. Go out for a stroll

Choose A decisively.

The panel displayed the message "[Battle Idle...]".

[You're 2 years old. You're strong enough to slap away any little monster that bothers you. What are you going to do next?]

A. Exercise

【B. Rest】

C. Go out for a stroll

As usual, Zhu Yu quickly chose A, as her current level made her feel extremely insecure.

Fortunately, the early stages of the game are very short and the time passes quickly. Players will only encounter a few scenes involving interaction with various monster NPCs before moving on to the next year's options.

This situation continued until the age of five.

She awakened her demonic powers.

What the heck? Has the player been expelled from the human race again?

At the same time, her newbie protection period was also canceled due to the awakening of her demonic power.

With her demonic powers, her combat strength soared. Having grown tired of staying in the same place, she bid farewell to her mother, the Ubume, and gave the area around her dwelling forest one last haul before leaving amidst the "reluctant" gazes of the other demons.

You choose to go to—

[A. Nearby cities]

B. Nearby rural areas

【C. Random (Choose with caution)】

Although I don't know why the game keeps insisting on leading her to the city and the countryside, the temptation of this "randomness" is just too great.
