Miss Player, please don't cast spells on me.

Even the Xia Nuoer that Xue Dao hugged earlier wasn't actually played by Qing Ye Hui, but by her.

The reason she played Xia Nuoer was simply because Qingye Hui was too busy.

The popularity of "Rose Kingdom" is still growing!

Five hundred passenger capacity is simply not enough for Qingyehui.

So he quickly used the faith power he had just obtained from his relatives at the tea party, as well as the faith power he had earned from the female players in "Rose Kingdom," to increase his maximum capacity for receiving guests.

It directly consumed about 4,500 points of faith power, increasing the number of guests to 900 in one go.

Although the improvement doesn't feel significant, this is Qingye Hui's limit. Apart from the restrictions of the god rank, it seems that only eleven to twelve points of faith power are needed to change the maximum number of guests.

This feeling of adding more water to noodles and more noodles to water seems to be an inevitable stage in any management game, but in the end, the total amount of Faith Power earned by Qingye Hui is increasing, so there's nothing to complain about.

Even with the limit increased to nine hundred people, Kiyono Gray could only keep up with the operation of "Rose Kingdom".

In the newly opened Shanor Village in "Dungeon Sanctuary 2", Qingye Hui really can't handle it!

So Kiyono Gray had to ask Miss Fox to find someone to help. Miss Fox herself had to lead and play most of the monsters in the dungeon, so she couldn't help Kiyono Gray play Shanor...

This Ms. Shiina Akane is the one who was brought in by Ms. Fox to help out as a guest star in Shanor's gacha game.

"Does this really work?"

In the movie theater set up behind the stage by that fox lady.

Shiina Akane asked Kiyono Hai in a tone that was somewhere between doubt and incomprehension whether Kiyono Hai's method of healing the player girl was really effective.

Her use of 'useful' here doesn't refer to 'whether it can heal the player's trauma,' but rather 'whether this method is truly effective in stopping the player's attack?'

"While it cannot completely stop the players' attacks, at least the village of Shanor, established by the relatives of the tea party, will provide the followers of Takigami-senpai with an absolutely safe haven."

While answering the junior student's question, Kiyono Hai was also observing the second female lead of "21Rain".

Unlike her proactive personality in the anime, Shiina Akane's real-life personality seems to be somewhat emotionless, but her emotionlessness only means she doesn't have much emotional fluctuation; she is still extremely sharp-tongued in both words and actions.

As for her appearance, she looks petite and lovely, with shoulder-length crimson hair and a cat hair clip to highlight the character's cuteness.

"But if the labyrinth is breached, it's meaningless to provide believers with the safest sanctuary within it."

Unfortunately, no matter how cute this junior school girl is, her words are still so blunt that they can be quite hurtful.

That's true.

In Qingye Hui's plan, the storyline of Shanor Village is a transformation for the player from an intruder into a guardian of the labyrinth.

After hugging and rubbing against Shanor, played by Shiina Akane, Xuedao was already wandering around the maze looking for building materials to construct Shanor Village.

The village of Shanor has been transformed into a player-owned territory, much like the hideout in Tarkov.

Players can scavenge a lot of resources in the PVP area of ​​the maze and then bring them back to rebuild Shanor Village.

During the reconstruction process, a new Shanor will lead his player lady to settle down, creating a recurring farming game mechanic.

That fox lady could easily arrange for her followers to move into Shanor Village as residents and receive protection from the players.

If any clueless new player dares to attack Shanor Village...

They will then be facing an entire tea party group transformed into dragons, and these top players will likely be breathing fire with rage and wielding claws capable of tearing anyone apart...

Let these invaders see what the insurmountable gap is between an ordinary player and a professional player who has conquered countless game worlds and trampled gods and Buddhas underfoot!

Although Kiyono Ash used this method to initially ensure the safety of... Miss Fox's followers.

However, Kiyono Ash is currently unsure where to begin regarding the security of the labyrinth itself, or rather, the core of the world at the very bottom of the labyrinth.

And just then... the fox lady, Rena Takigami, suddenly appeared in the movie theater, but this time there was an indescribable weariness between her brows.

After sitting down in the movie theater, he slumped down and looked listless.

"Those bastards from the Black Sword Knights! They formed a hundred-person raid group and started running dungeons before the open beta even started. These guys are really treating 'Dungeon Sanctuary 2' like an MMORPG!"

"Black Sword? Is this the mercenary group that attacked the core of the dungeon?"

Qingye Hui looked at the fox's tired face, and it seemed that she had just fought a big battle with the Black Sword Knights.

"Yes! That damned God of Slaughter and Plunder actually chose to consume an unknown amount of faith power to forcibly allow the Black Sword Knights to inherit the level and some equipment of their main character... These guys were only after the core of the maze from the beginning, and had no intention of playing the game 'Maze Sanctuary 2' at all."

Rena Takigami was so angry she wanted to roar. At that moment, Hai Kiyono walked up behind her and put his hands on her shoulders.

This made the little fox shudder. Just as it was about to break free, Kiyono Hai's massage of her shoulders, with just the right amount of pressure, made Takigami Rena feel a wave of weakness wash over her.

"That's it... Hmm, how come you're so good at massage?" Takigami Rena instantly felt her physical fatigue relieved a little.

How could I not know the essential skills for swindling rich women?

"So, Takigami-senpai, could you explain the situation of that Black Sword Knights to me?"

According to Qingye Hui's understanding, the conditions for players to inherit their characters in any game are extremely demanding.

Completing multiple playthroughs is just the bare minimum; in addition, you have to complete a whole host of demanding challenges.

The reason is that inheriting this function requires consuming the faith power of a certain deity.

Only when a player is deemed valuable by a deity in the performance will the deity help to transfer the player's main character to this world.

Therefore, most top players primarily focus on MMORPGs, which feature long-term game updates and extremely fierce competition between players.

Through Takigami Rena's complaining description, Kiyono Hai roughly understood the current situation of the Black Sword Knights.

The Black Sword Knights were once one of the top-tier, dominant guilds in "Dream City".

However, after "Dream City" shifted to a children's game, they gradually moved on to another MMORPG that became a global hit, "Sacred Stars".

However, the Black Sword Knights and "Dream City" still maintain a close connection, including the fact that their guild in "Dream City" has not been disbanded and is still active.

It's just that the main force is no longer stationed in this game.

Now, their main force relies entirely on the power of faith in the God of Light and Exploration, bringing a portion of their levels and equipment into this "Dungeon Sanctuary 2"...

They are probably mercenaries hired by the gods to plunder the core of this world.

"So that's it."

Using the light screen projected by the fox lady, Qingye Hui watched the group of players advancing in unison through the maze, a group that seemed unapproachable at first glance.

Qingye Hui quickly spotted a beautiful figure in the Black Sword Knights: a white-haired elf carrying a bow and arrow.

Of course, this white-haired elf's figure is many times better than the elf played by the previous female lead, Chiyo Wakaba, and her temperament exudes a cold and aloof feeling. However, it is her ID that is what Kiyono Hai cares about the most.

Yang Gong Naiyin.

Was it you?

All Qingyehui can say is that after Xia Nuoer issued the challenge at the tea party, the scope of the attack on these top players was simply too wide.

It was only after Qingye Hui asked Uncle Haolan that he learned the answer.

The leader, deputy leader, and several core members of the Black Sword Knights were all members of the Tea Party, but they left the Tea Party due to differences in ideology.

Even though they withdrew from the tea party, the network of relationships they left behind remained.

Before they discovered Shanor, this interesting toy, they could only vent their fighting spirit on their old friends.

And Shanor had also received several members of the Black Sword Knights, including Ms. Hinamiya Noon.

She's special; she came to test her skills after learning of Xia Nuoer's reputation, but ended up in bed with him without any apparent reason.

Unlike Ms. Owlface, who was single-mindedly focused on killing him from beginning to end and had no intention of sleeping with him.

Miss Yang Gong wants to kill Xia Nuoer and also wants to sleep with Xia Nuoer.

Perhaps she never expected to meet such a skilled player in an otome game. Having common interests made it natural for them to start a relationship.

"Kiyono-kun, don't even think about making a move on this woman. She's notoriously cold-blooded in the Black Sword Knights. Even if she beats 'The Principality of Roses,' she might just be using your Shanor as a cannon fodder..."

Rena Takigami fiercely advised Hai Kiyono not to assume that every player in the world is as soft-hearted as Ms. Yukishima.

Unfortunately, she immediately lost her nerve when she got to the last word.

“Takigami-senpai, you don’t need to force yourself to say words you can’t accept.” Kiyono Hai gently stroked Takigami Rena’s little head and fluffy fox ears.

"..."

Rena Takigami first let out a soft "oh," then seemed to realize something and immediately stood up, covering her forehead with both hands and looking at Kiyono Hai with a wary expression.

She hesitated for two or three seconds before finally managing to utter a sentence.

"You're not my guest!"

The hidden meaning behind her words was probably, "I'm not as easily fooled as Miss Player! I know you have a lot of tricks up your sleeve behind every gentle gesture you make towards a girl."

"Yes, yes, Ms. Shiina... may I borrow the role you played on the hero's side?"

Kiyono ignored the fox-like girl's shyness and went straight to talking about serious business with Shiina Akane.

She is a deity belonging to "Dream City", so there is a restriction for her participation in this game: she cannot harm players and can only play a friendly role that helps players.

Kiyono Hai wanted to borrow the identity of the character she was playing in order to infiltrate the Black Sword Knights.

"You can borrow whichever one you want, but I don't think you can stop the Black Sword Knights from invading the core of the labyrinth with just these characters."

"Is that so? What if the Black Sword Knights... are facing their most trusted, admired, or even long-time crush as the final boss in the dungeon? Do you think they can still remain calm and perfectly coordinated like a series of seamless machines?"

Qingye Hui knew that one of the strengths of a player team was their teamwork, but with internal strife within the guild, to the point where they were all leaving tonight, what kind of teamwork could they possibly have?

"What exactly do you want to do?" Shiina Akane asked this question purely out of curiosity.

"Of course, I'm going to show you..."

At this point, Qingye Hui had transformed into an extremely aged-looking old mage NPC named 'Church Labyrinth Explorer - Gavi'.

"How far would Miss Player go insane for Shanor!"

Chapter 48 The Princess of the Black Sword Knights

With the help of the Fox God, Kiyono Hai easily approached the Black Sword Knights' encampment.

If you're playing "Dungeon Sacred 2" as a single player, it's a typical Japanese RPG: fight monsters, collect equipment and materials, and maybe even have a casual outing with cute female and male NPCs.

When hundreds of players team up to explore the Sanctuary 2, it truly becomes a perilous and dangerous realm where one wrong step could result in heavy casualties.

The monsters' health and attack power have been increased to a level that is incomprehensible to ordinary players, making it potentially several levels more difficult than heroic raids in World of Warcraft.
