Starting with the Herrscher, mowing down enemies without equal.

Siegfried wanted to say something, but as soon as he opened his mouth, Anna covered her ears and muttered, "I don't want to hear it."

Ah! This girl is even more stubborn than Kiana, who has been in a relationship for five years!

Feeling frustrated, he hugged his chest and continued watching Anti-Entropy's anniversary celebration.

Alicia sat on the other side, getting a little sleepy. She tilted her head and gently leaned on An Yu's shoulder.

"Xiaoyu, let's go home. The Anti-Entropy anniversary celebration isn't fun."

She might be somewhat interested if An Yu were to perform, but since An Yu is here now, she might as well go home and relax on the sofa to watch a movie.

"Okay, let's go home, Anyu..."

Anna also spoke softly, not happy at all. Although her cousin was a good person, sometimes it was more annoying for a good person to do something stupid than for a bad person to do something evil.

"Then go home first."

After the three of them left, Siegfried remained expressionless, his face even appearing somewhat dark.

"Is this the ideal son-in-law you had your eye on?"

He poked the Thunder Dragon Horse, his tone ambiguous. Zhong

"Hasn't he convinced you yet?"

Thunder Dragon Horse replied irritably.

Moreover, without Anna, the little girl from your destiny, interfering, An Yu can focus on her work, doesn't smoke, drinks occasionally, and her biggest way to relax is playing games. The only close girl around her is her sister, with whom she depends on each other. If he can't do it, your daughter can.

Don't make your brother Longma laugh.

Raiden Mei glanced at Kiana, whose tear stains were still wet on her face. Kiana gave her a reassuring look, but Mei just shrugged and turned back without any interest.

"Why was An Yu allowed to leave early?!"

Mei didn't understand! This was Anti-Entropy's anniversary celebration!

“Because he’s in love, Mei,” Planck said softly.

"Ugh! Why is this world so cruel to single people?"

Bronya clutched her head, but for the sake of her investment plan, she endured it. She was unaware that An Yu had already resolved the issue.

Bronya was no longer a child, so she became more sensible after we stopped calling her Bronya.

Schrödinger, expressionless, replied: "Because you're all older singles."

An Yu and the other two, who left early, didn't go out to do anything else. Instead, they huddled on the sofa in the living room, watching the latest international blockbuster.

It looks fairly harmonious.

Alicia kept thinking about the problem because the things she had to do in the dream were too important. She had subconsciously reduced the importance of reality a little and decided to wait until she got home to deal with it. There were too many people in North America, and the intimacy between the siblings had naturally been diluted a lot.

As for Anna, after experiencing Kiana's gloom during the day, she was a bit disheartened and needed to take a nap to recharge her SP... Courage Points.

After a long while, once An Yu was sure that Anna and Alicia were both engrossed in the movie, she ran to the nursery next door. The little boy Coralie, who looked to be a little over a year old, immediately huddled in the corner of the big bed.

"Don't move."

Although the baby couldn't understand, An Yu parted Coralie's overly thick hair and indeed saw a pair of droopy puppy ears and a dog's tail hidden under her pants.

"That's interesting. Although it looks like a dog's ears and tail, and feels similar to a dog's tail, it's actually quite hard inside."

The little tail that had been wagging happily was now tucked between her legs, and her ears were drooping behind her. After being humiliated and scrutinized, the one-year-old Coralie was put back on the bed.

An Yu then had a general plan for what she needed to do in the seventh level of the game.

Bronya didn't come back tonight, but Mei and Ryoma did, along with Kiana and Siegfried.

It's a small manor, but it houses a lot of people, including several people.

However, this was only a brief period of glory. After all, the brief excitement did not affect the subsequent desolation of the manor... Well, with Tesla and Planck around, it was never desolate.

Lying back in bed, An Yu opened the game.

[Level 7 - Flame of Entropy]

"Disordered flames, huh? This should be fire... no, just pure flames. Finally, I'm going to get some stats."

Volume 1: Chapter 140, Page 139: The New Siblings with Poor Expressions

Lawyer: An Yu

Level: 1

Skills: Twin Familiars, Echo (Fire), Purifying Flame 1, Overload

Family member: Himeko (I'm not going to use Himiko anymore, they mean the same thing)

"Oh, how interesting. They haven't even increased their power level, yet they've forcibly bound themselves to their family?"

An Yu showed a slight interest, but not much.

After all, ever since his game levels started having time stretched out indefinitely, he lost interest in playing house.

Yes, ever since Anna's incident, you've noticed your game is getting longer and longer.

It's as if someone is deliberately stretching out the arc, letting you observe the world more closely.

But that suits you just fine.

[Anyway, I don't have to take care of Alicia this time, and I'll have my usual leisure time, so I don't have to be so relaxed this time.]

Furthermore, judging from Alicia and Kevin's previous performance, it's necessary for me to learn a new skill—a skill that wouldn't lead others to suspect my identity.

Then, openly and honestly engage with everything in this world.

But then again, starting all over again without revealing what you learned in your previous efforts to improve yourself is indeed a long journey.

He chose painting, piano, and archaeology, with archaeology being a must; the others could be discarded without reason. Previous challenges had taught him that archaeology in this world wasn't just about cultural significance, and the other choices were simply because Alicia didn't know.

[Of course, that's a story for later. Right now, he needs to see what's going on with Himeko, who's been forcibly bound.] (Liu)

It was a fairly luxurious manor, but weeds and moss covered the celadon paths, making it seem like no one lived there.

Faintly visible among the nearby weeds were yellowed talismans, a water bottle, a sword of unknown material, a cross, and even a Taoist robe.

An Yu squatted down, slightly puzzled: "What, there are demons and monsters involved?"

He pushed open the door, and the white and purple Honkai Beasts and Death Warriors came into view. On the floor were dried blood, bones, and rotting maggots crawling around, round and crystalline. The air was filled with a sweet and pungent stench of death and mold.

An Yu didn't even glance at these lower-ranking subordinates. She pushed open the innermost small room, where withered red hair and a little girl with dense Honkai energy, yet still human, came into view.

She didn't die; her vitality was remarkable. Judging from the moss that had been cleared away and the dilapidated floor devoid of any spiders or insects, it was clear that the girl's will to survive was exceptionally strong.

“Gecko, spider, moss, and…” An Yu looked at the dripping sink next to her. The sound of dripping water was particularly clear. The girl was curled up and did not react at all.

"We're the same kind, Himeko-nee..."

Although the girl can hardly be considered an older sister now, she is like a resilient weed, able to survive, and will stop at nothing to stay alive.

The girl was dirty, but An Yu didn't mind. She gently picked her up and walked back to the living room. On the floor, which was covered in stains and bloodstains, a magic circle seemed to be faintly visible.

Whether she went too far after the sacrifice or was forced by the Honkai Beasts to have no choice but to believe in faith, An Yu didn't know.

If it were placed in a game, it would probably be...

A chaotic exorcism ritual, performed by an unprofessional Onmyoji—perhaps it worked, perhaps it didn't; who knows?

[Inspiration +1]

There was still food in the kitchen, some fast food products, and some well-packaged food.

An Yu went to the bathroom, and it was still usable. It seemed like the place was quite wealthy, as the water supply was still normal even after someone had been dead for so long.

He didn't clean the bathtub, but simply washed the little guy's body. Combing his hair was too much trouble, so he gave the little guy a buzz cut.

An Yu could vaguely sense the girl's lips beginning to move. Judging from the dryness of her lips, she shouldn't be too thirsty. An Yu simply fed her some liquid food.

"These weeds are completely unwilling to die like this."

She survived so naturally, clinging to life as if she were still alive.

An Yu figured that even if she didn't come, the other person could still survive, hold out until someone discovered the place, and hold out until she was rescued.

Finally, An Yu's arm was 'forcefully' gripped, but the force was too light. Ji Zi struggled to open her eyes, trying to remember the other person's appearance, but in the end, all that remained in her mind was the boy's indifferent gaze.

Honestly, if it weren't for this forced bond with a familiar, given An Yu's personality, she wouldn't have developed this kind of connection in a game that keeps dragging on for so long.

[Returning to reality is troublesome. Hei Xi is just a good friend; he simply couldn't bear to see the other person starve to death.]

But An Yu had to admit one thing: Himeko's will to live was exceptionally strong; she didn't want to die, even though she was just a child.

So, he simply held out his hand: "Come with me, or to the orphanage?"

The two simply became partners.

[An Yu was responsible for expanding her own fame and getting herself into the public eye as quickly as possible, in a way that Alicia and Kevin were completely unaware of and wouldn't care about.]

[After recovering from her initial distress, Himeko quickly absorbed nutrients; she is very clever.]

[So intelligent that when An Yu asked that question, she didn't hesitate for even a second; her will to survive was exceptionally strong.]

[An Yu didn't stay in his original place. After briefly adapting to the society, he chose to come to Shenzhou, where the social structure he was most comfortable with was.]

Himeko has a new school, the gifted youth program.

After a brief farewell to her teachers and students, Himeko returned home.

The afterglow of the setting sun bathed the window frames in a warm gold. This was a house allocated by Shenzhou. An Yu was still the same as before, always quietly doing her own thing, without a moment's rest all day long.

"I'm falling behind in the course; I've been too tired these past few days."

After watching An Yu finish her new painting, she spoke softly, her voice unusually weary.

An Yu: "Are you worse than them?"

Ji Zi: “…”

Himeko stood still, and An Yu seemed not to be looking at her. Their relationship had always been lukewarm, but they always managed to maintain a tacit understanding... in most cases.

So she simply composed herself and suppressed her grievances: "I didn't have a good foundation before, so I'm not used to the pace here. You have to help me."

An Yu stopped what she was doing. It was strange, really; Himeko never seemed to have seen paint on the boy's clothes before. Zhong Q: ≮′＼。 ⊥∞□♂←⊙°

"I don't have that much time."

Learning a skill from scratch and gaining recognition from others is no easy feat.

In particular, once this skill becomes a stepping stone, it will be quickly discarded and replaced with something that is truly suitable for this world.

“Invest in me.” Unlike other children, Himeko was not timid: “The time you spend now will definitely be less than the future benefits.”

“…Then let’s do it as soon as possible.” An Yu nodded: “Let’s both try not to waste each other’s time.”

We've had enough of leisure and entertainment in real life; now it's time to push ourselves a little harder to acquire information.

Himeko gritted her teeth. What does it mean to waste each other's time?

But she still stubbornly raised her head: "I won't waste your time."

And she will prove to An Yu that even those of them who are alone and can only rely on themselves can have the warmth of a family. This world shouldn't only be about hard work and scheming, and it shouldn't always be this indifferent, foolish dog-like state!

Volume 140: Chapter 141 Himeko: Am I worse than Alicia?

into the night.

Tired, Himeko looked at the boy's calm eyes, as if he didn't care about her studies at all. She gritted her teeth again. She would not be worse than anyone else, never.

"Let's call it a day. Your grades are really bad."

An Yu lowered her eyes: "Nine, and even now, it seems your mind isn't on studying anymore."

The conversation was as simple and direct as ever, but this time, when leaving, Himeko grabbed Anyu's arm.

"If I make it into the top ten next time, will you change your attitude?"

Firstly, it's really too difficult, after all, she's a latecomer to the field and it's hard for her to keep up with the geniuses tearing each other apart.

Compared to the typical teacher-student relationship, students and teachers often become partners in arguments, except that it is usually the students who realize that they are indeed inferior.

"That's for the best, I really don't feel like taking care of a second idiot."

"Besides, don't you even have the courage to set yourself in first place?"

In reality, everyone is happy and there's no need to be so strict and demanding of themselves. But when simulating a situation where everything is for profit, An Yu doesn't have that kind of mindset.

Himeko was taken aback for a moment, then quickly asked, "The second idiot? Aren't I the first?"
