I'll also work hard to conquer the dungeon today.

Chapter 15, Section 1.1: Fish
In a noisy environment, the slow footsteps should have been drowned out by the noise, but surprisingly they could be heard clearly, and even when they stopped could be clearly discerned.

Before Mu Yegui could make any move, he heard a deep, magnetic voice with a hint of flirtation in his ear, "Don't move."

At the same time, a solid, wall-like object pressed against his back. A hand gently covered his cold, silver eyes, while another hand softly caressed his delicate neck. The touch seemed gentle, yet it was filled with murderous intent; the caress, seemingly that of a lover, carried a deadly danger.

Gold and Silver roared, but were so frightened by Fish's casual glance that they could only tremble and clutch the fur on her cloak.

Her misty gray curls intertwined with stray golden hairs, gently brushing against her delicate face, revealing small, slightly pursed pink lips that exuded an inexplicable allure.

Fish lowered his head and gently whispered in her ear, his tone tender, a hint of seriousness in his voice compared to his usual flippancy. He chuckled softly, his words a tender whisper of love that carried a chilling undercurrent of murderous intent, "So fragile~ Perhaps I'd just use a little more force and it would vanish~"

Mu Yegui tilted her head back, showing no sign of tension or fear even though her neck and eyes were covered by Fei Xiu's large hands. She remained calm and relaxed, stating her thoughts in a serious tone, "My weakness is not my neck."

This means that attacking her neck would neither kill nor injure her, so Fish's threat is meaningless.

"So what's your weakness?" His tone was incredibly gentle, as if he were bewitching and seducing her. His thin lips lightly brushed against Mu Yegui's fair earlobe, his azure eyes filled with a strange, twisted desire that grew stronger and stronger, almost uncontrollable.

The red gem at the end of the three braids beside her face reflected Mu Yegui's calm demeanor. She reached out and, seemingly without much effort, easily pulled away the large hand covering her eyes. Her gentle tone held a hint of indulgence and helplessness, as if she were dealing with a child, "Fei Xiu is really like a child, always asking about things like this. Don't you know that these kinds of secrets shouldn't be told to others?"

Mu Yegui turned to look at her. At only 1.6 meters tall, she looked like an adult next to a child next to Fei Xiu, who was 1.95 meters tall. Compared to Fei Xiu, who seemed like a playboy, Mu Yegui looked extremely delicate. Coupled with her small, exquisite face, it gave the impression that Fei Xiu was bullying or teasing a child.

“The NPC in the dungeon just now was a rabbit.” She took a step back to create some distance between them, looked Fish up and down, and confirmed.

This statement was completely nonsensical and baffling. But for some reason, Fishu understood Mu Yegui's thought process. He raised an eyebrow and teased, "Do I look like a rabbit?"

With this statement, Fish essentially admitted that he was an NPC, and an outsider at that. His purpose was also clear: from beginning to end, he deliberately distorted the meaning of the rules, wanting everyone to perish in that instance.

The most obvious example is the line where he tells everyone to go to the radish field, specifically stating that the probability of a golden radish appearing outside the radish field is 0, and that growing a golden radish in the radish field is the only way to clear the game. However, the rules only state that the probability of a radish appearing in the radish field is 0; everything else is simply Fish deliberately misleading players by changing the subject, drawing everyone's attention to the radish field.

If everyone's attention had been focused on the radish field, it's likely the mission wouldn't have been completed even after seven days. The rules specifically state that only the appearance of a specific item fulfills the condition, and that any area of ​​the dungeon can be explored, which means the golden radish couldn't possibly appear in the radish field. Furthermore, despite no penalty being stated in the rules, someone actually died after the mini-game ended.

Mu Yegui couldn't guarantee whether there were really golden carrots elsewhere. Anyway, the way she cleared the dungeon was cheating and she didn't actually meet the mission requirements. But since she had already cleared it, it meant that it was within the scope of the rule loopholes, so there was no point in saying anything more now.

"Who are you?" Mu Yegui asked slowly, looking at Fei Xiu quietly.

"Guess what? If you guess right, I'll give you a reward." Fisch's eyes held a faint smile, as if his previous near-out-of-control madness had completely vanished. He bent slightly behind his back with one hand, and gently lifted Mu Yegui's three-strand braid beside her face with the other. His thin lips lightly touched the ruby ​​on the hair tie, a slight smile playing on his lips, a casual yet subtly ambiguous expression.

[Fisch asked me: Guess who I am?]

[Completion Time: Within nine months.]

[Reward: Unknown.]

Within ten seconds of the question being asked, Mu Yegui calmly replied, "You are the clown of the Amazing Circus." For the first time, Fish's expression showed surprise, as if he had not expected Mu Yegui to answer so quickly, or even so confidently.

"Why?" He chuckled softly, his azure eyes filled with a hint of suppressed madness and distortion, but after the initial surprise, his expression returned to its usual nonchalant state.

"Outside the instance, I only know one person: the Joker." The reason was very simple: she only knew one person, the Joker from the Amazing Circus, so no matter who asked her, even if it wasn't Fish, Mu Yegui would give the same answer.

"What a good boy~" he chuckled softly, his gentle whisper carrying a hint of enigmatic allure, like a demon luring others into depravity. His handsome face maintained a rational expression, his azure eyes filled with a chilling madness and twisted rage, yet he had become even calmer because he had found something he loved, as if deliberately suppressing something.

In that instant, everyone around felt the temperature drop to zero, and a chill ran up from the soles of their feet, penetrating to their very bones.

The red-haired man wearing a terrifying mask glanced thoughtfully at the two seemingly confronting each other, then left without hesitation on Route 3.

Surrounded by the crowd, Shui Qi shivered and exclaimed at the bizarre weather in the royal city. Then, taking advantage of the crowd's stiffness, she quickly slipped away from them.

Mu Yegui seemed oblivious to everything. She reached out and gently stroked the gold and silver in her hands, then asked earnestly, "Did I answer correctly?"

"You guessed right~" A hint of covetousness flickered in her azure eyes as she greedily gazed at Mu Yegui, a thick killing intent pressing down on her, as if she wanted to see any other expression on her face.

Her cool, silver eyes turned to Fish, and she stretched out her hand, earnestly asking for her reward: "What about my reward?"

Fish was stunned for a moment, then burst into wild laughter.

After a long while, he took out an invitation card that was covered in colorful graffiti, almost like visual pollution, and placed it in Mu Yegui's hand. He leaned slightly closer to Mu Yegui's ear and said in a suggestive tone, "Invitation to the Amazing Circus Crazy Night in September, don't lose it~"

After handing the invitation to Mu Yegui, he suddenly disappeared. The surrounding temperature gradually warmed up, as if he had never appeared. Only the invitation in Mu Yegui's hand proved that he had been there.

[To win the Joker's favor.]

[Received a Rainbow Invitation to 'Amazing Circus Crazy Night' personally presented by the Joker. View now?]

Mu Yegui gently unfolded the folded invitation and saw the following information.

[Rainbow Invitation to 'Amazing Circus Crazy Night']

[Details: This is an invitation personally sent by Fish the Clown to his favorite prey. Using it at the opening ceremony will bring an unexpected surprise.]

Fitch is my favorite character. As an important supporting male character, his screen time is only more than his role, and even being an NPC doesn't change that.

However, Fish's favorability isn't easy to raise. Fish is the kind of pervert who wants to dismember you the more favorability you have.
