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

Chapter 518 Extra: Mid-Autumn Festival Interview (Three Main Characters)

[Mid-Autumn Festival Interview] October 10.1st

This is a record of the first interview conducted during the Mid-Autumn Festival for the authors of this article. The interviewees were the three main characters: Mu Yegui (female lead), Mu Yin (male lead 1), and Ling Tong (male lead 2).
Interview room.

F sat on the single sofa on the left, crossed his legs, and flipped through the book in his hands, making a strange "tsk" sound as he flipped through it.

On the right, Mu Yegui sat in the middle of the three-seater sofa. To her left was Mu Yin, who looked just like her, and to her right was Ling Tong.

Mu Yegui, as always, wore her long, wavy, misty gray hair loose, and a black halter-neck dress that revealed her slender, fair arms. Her exquisite and beautiful face was utterly calm, devoid of any superfluous emotion. Her clear, silver eyes were as still as a deep, ancient pool, reflecting no one's image.

Her posture was exceptionally well-behaved and obedient; anyone who saw her would want to praise her.

Mu Yin wore a high ponytail and a red robe that looked strangely festive, making her already pale skin appear even whiter. Her dark golden eyes were fixed on her sharp nails, and she raised an eyebrow slightly, as if deep in thought.

Ling Tong wore a long purple robe embroidered with silver patterns. His beautiful dark red hair was tied into a loose three-strand braid that cascaded down his shoulders to his waist. His narrow, golden-orange eyes were as dazzling as the sunset. He lowered his gaze, elegantly holding a cup of freshly brewed Longjing tea, and took a small sip.

The surroundings were silent, and an awkward atmosphere permeated the air.

F looked up at the clock, her lips twitching slightly. "Huh? It's starting already?"

He coughed dramatically and said, "Ahem, in a sense, today is the only time the three of you will be together. Don't you want to share your thoughts?"

Mu Yegui pondered for a moment, then slowly said, "It doesn't seem to be any different."

F: It's really no different for you, but for them it's their first appearance since the second playthrough.

Mu Yin picked at his ear and said nonchalantly, "I'm enough as the male lead. Everyone else, get out of here."

Ling Tong casually put down her teacup, stroked the sword lying beside her, and said softly, "I'm not really used to being in the same place as strangers."

F glanced at the sword that seemed ready to strike and said, "So you're going to make a move? I won't clean up the mess here."

F, with a blank expression, looked at the two who almost came to blows and said, "Considering certain reasons, I'm too lazy to write down all your actions, so I'll just label them by name. Let's skip the rest."

F: Let's get started. Whether you fight or not, I won't write it down. Even if you fight, the readers won't see it if I don't write it down.

What do you usually do during the Mid-Autumn Festival in previous years?

Mu Yegui: Xu will make me mooncakes, but during the day I'll go to the Ming family's ancestral home to find Jin and Xi. Since their family belongs to one of the three major warlord families in the empire, it's impossible to enter through the main gate without an invitation or appointment. Under normal circumstances, I'll choose to directly tear through space and teleport there, although this often causes some unexpected consequences.

Mu Yin: What unexpected consequences? They were just mistaken for enemy attackers, so the whole house was on alert. In the end, those two were grounded, hahaha, they really had it tough. Although I took them out to play, they basically had to face the wall and write self-criticisms after we came back. The last few hours were spent writing self-criticisms.

Mu Yegui: The mooncakes Xu makes are delicious; I especially like the ones with insect and meat filling. However, I prefer strawberry filling mooncakes now.

Ling Tong (blushing)
Mu Yin: Hmph, what's so delicious about that! I want to eat vinegar-flavored mooncakes right now.

Ling Tong: Are you jealous?
Mu Yin: ...You're asking for it!

Mu Yegui: How does Tong usually spend his days?
Ling Tong: Alone. Mu Yin (gloating): Brother, you look like you're in a really bad situation?
Ling Tong: It's actually quite nice to be alone; it's peaceful, and no one bothers me. However, I only celebrated Mid-Autumn Festival when I was a child. After leaving the Empire, I haven't celebrated it again. Mid-Autumn Festival belongs to the Empire and isn't well-known in other star systems, but occasionally when I think of it, I'll make a big mooncake, cut a piece for myself, and give the rest to the children in the slums—it's a kind of keepsake…

Mu Yegui: This year, we can all celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival together and eat mooncakes together. What about F?
F: Sorry, I'm writing at home, 365 days a year.

What kind of mooncake fillings do you like?

Mu Yegui: I like mooncakes with insect filling and strawberry filling. Actually, I'm not picky; I like all kinds of mooncakes.

Mu Yin: A face with a blank expression.

F: Cough cough!
Mu Yin: Because of our unique sense of taste, human food has no flavor in our mouths, so it has always been considered tasteless. Special spices are needed to make us taste anything. I don't have any particular preferences; I'll eat any mooncake given to me. They're all the same anyway, so it's all the same. However, compared to those fancy ones, I definitely want to eat the ones with the "expressionless face" filling; they must be delicious.

F: ...

Ling Tong: It should be a solid mooncake, the kind with no filling, just a dough. Although I've eaten many other delicious mooncakes since then, my memory of the solid mooncake is the most vivid; it was the only gift I could get as a child.

[What are your opinions on the other princes in the instance? Who do you most like to cooperate with? Who do you least want to cooperate with?]

Mu Yegui: As for cooperation, I'm open to either Daolin or Bertias. The one I'm least willing to cooperate with is probably Shui Qi. I don't trust that guy very much, but he can be quite useful sometimes. As for Jinxi, it's best if she stays under my protection. I don't want anything to happen to them.

Mu Yin: I want to work with that expressionless face… Do you think I'd say that? I prefer the Jinxi Twins because I'm used to being with them. Dao Lin is interesting, but I personally don't want to cooperate with him; otherwise, if we fall out, I'll be the first to kill him. Who don't I want to cooperate with? Anyone who has designs on that expressionless face, I don't want to cooperate with.

Ling Tong: On the one hand, I'm Dao Lin; on the other hand, I'm Fei. But in reality, I don't want to cooperate with anyone. I can manage on my own.

I've heard that the Crown Prince has a particular saying. What is it?

Mu Yegui: Is today another day of betraying teammates?
Mu Yin: Water Qi climbs!

Ling Tong: It's probably... Shui Qi Pa... right.

Mu Yin: It would be an injustice if this guy didn't climb over. I would say this to any two people, especially Daolin and Bertia, who have been deeply influenced by him.

Mid-Autumn Festival greetings.

Mu Yegui: Happy Mid-Autumn Festival.

Mu Yin: Happy Holidays.

Ling Tong: Wishing everyone a happy holiday and a joyous reunion with your families.

F: ...That was a complete sloppy job.

Mu Yin: If you're so good, then you do it.

F: I have absolutely no concept of blessing words, and I don't usually say them. If I did, it would be the same as yours. *cough cough*
Just as the moon waxes and wanes, so too do people experience joy and sorrow, but no matter where we are, we all live on the same round planet. If you get lost, don't panic or be afraid. Just keep moving forward, and no matter how far the road, you will eventually reach your destination. Wishing everyone a happy Mid-Autumn Festival, a time for family reunions.
