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

Kiyono continued asking questions while continuing her work.

"If a player's game character suddenly develops their own consciousness, do you think that game character would be entitled to use, or even enjoy, the assets left behind by the player?"

This is a rather philosophical question. A more apt analogy is: should warhorses that charge into battle alongside soldiers be awarded the same merits and rewards as the soldiers?

The answer is, of course, no.

No matter how outstanding a warhorse's achievements are, it is not a human being. Even if it makes great contributions alongside humans, it does not deserve the same status and rewards as humans.

The same applies to game characters.

"So?" Sayaka had already vaguely guessed what Kiyono Hai was planning to do.

"So... this is the first 'cruel truth' I want to show Ms. Yukishima, the cruel truth behind the glamorous magical girls, the passionate tokusatsu dramas, and even the amusement park-like game world where players can roam freely and live life to the fullest."

When Kiyono Hai got to this point, Shiina Akane, who had been silent all along, asked a question.

"And when this cruel 'truth' was revealed, the power of faith that rose among the players... belonged to you, Akane-senpai, right?"

"of course."

Akane Shiina felt that the storyline that Kiyono Hai would be involved in afterward would be more than just adult-oriented; it might even be somewhat R-rated. The power of faith generated under such a cruel storyline would naturally belong to her, the 'future god'.

"That's fine."

After setting up her temporary shelter, Kiyono Hai picked up Haruka's small handbag with a very girlish gesture and prepared to leave the villa.

"Where are you going next?" Rena Takigami asked curiously.

"Go get a job." Kiyono Gray said a word that might seem a little too real and cruel in the game world.

"Work...work?"

Miss Fox couldn't keep up with Kiyono Ash's train of thought for a moment.

But Kiyono Hai has already consulted Sayaka and Shiina Akane... about places in the Dream City that players can't go to but can still do some odd jobs.

Kiyono not only wants to use the character that Ms. Yukishima worked so hard to develop to work, but the more humble the job, the better.

Now, we can already imagine what Qingye Hui (a character from a Chinese novel) is like…

After Miss Snow Island went online, she thought that her "daughter" with the title of "Guardian of the Dream City" couldn't possibly be living a bad life in secret. But when she actually went to the place and found out that she was just a humble working girl, her expression changed.

Chapter 73 The Approaching Truth

Like Kiyono Hai, Yukishima was also timing it perfectly, waiting for the limited time for the special item 'Blade of Disorder' to be transferred to other characters to end.

But after the 24-hour transfer cooldown period ended, Xuedao hurriedly walked out of the room to look for her sister.

Since meeting Kiyono Hai in person at the hospital and receiving psychological treatment from him, Yukishima's health has improved considerably.

Previously, Xuedao could only move around in a wheelchair, but now she can walk around at home.

Doctors attributed Xuedao's improved condition to psychological factors.

Xuedao's illness is actually a form of ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis)... Of course, it cannot be cured with the technology of this era, but for an omnipotent deity, her disease can be easily cured by making a wish.

As for why no deity wished to cure her illness in order to establish a relationship with Owlface.

When Kiyono left the hospital, she also came up with a reason, a very cruel and realistic one.

That is, a large part of Snow Island's value comes from the fact that she is a disabled but determined and frail girl.

In other words, Snow Island's serious illness actually increases the amount of faith power that can be extracted from her.

This resulted in even the gods being too lazy to treat the illness, even though Kiyono Ash spent over a thousand units of faith power, only barely managing to delay the onset of the illness.

To truly cure her ALS, it would probably take tens of thousands of points of faith power.

Aside from the Ash of the Wilderness, there aren't that many kind-hearted gods in the world.

As for Kiyono's plan, it's probably... to pay in installments. This girl has helped him a lot, and if he meets her again in the future, he'll treat her as much as he can until he's finally cured.

Leaving aside the somewhat somber topic, Xuedao saw Xiaomian carrying two drinks and preparing to bring them inside after leaving her room.

"Ah Xue...you...I know you can walk now! But the doctor also said that you can't put too much weight on your legs yet!"

Seeing his sister running around again, Xiao Mian quickly put down the drink he was holding and helped Xue Dao back to her room.

"It used to be very uncomfortable when I couldn't move my legs, but now that I can move them, I always want to use them as much as possible."

"Okay, okay, so what's the matter that you suddenly called me?" Xiaomian asked, somewhat helplessly, as he subconsciously helped his sister relax her leg muscles.

"I just want to borrow your Dream City account, sister."

"Sure, but what do you suddenly want to do with my Dream City account?"

As he spoke, Xiaomian walked to the computer on Xuedao Island and began logging into his account using fingerprint and facial recognition.

The world has widely adopted fingerprint and facial recognition login, and although the primitive authentication method of passwords still exists, it has been gradually phased out.

This is also to confirm that the person operating each account is the account holder.

"There's a new storyline in Fantasy City that I want to check out. My account is almost three years behind. You've been playing all along, haven't you?"

Snow Island remembers that Owl Face often switched between different MMORPG PvP arenas. Since she wanted to engage in PvP, she naturally had to keep up with all the necessary equipment, skills, and other hardware.

"Has there been any new story updates in Dream City lately? Never mind... I have a grand prix to play tonight. Until then, you can do whatever you want, Xue."

In reality, Xiaomian's profession is a bounty hunter for various game competitions. This world frequently hosts a large number of game grand prix tournaments, and all of them are short and fast-paced.

Therefore, as long as a professional player has excellent skills, he can do very well even if he only gets a top ten finish in a Grand Prix.

Xiao Mian probably thought that with the current childish plot of Dream City, it wouldn't have much impact on his younger sister. After giving her the game account, he immediately got up and went to the hospital to get medicine for Xue Dao.

"That older sister..."

She didn't even have time to explain the details to her sister.

"It should be alright, right?"

Xuedao successfully transferred the ominous dagger to her sister's inventory.

Because of the inexplicable boom in the global gaming industry, account bans are extremely rare.

After all, in a real world run by a bunch of gods, the only way to cheat is for the cheater to be a powerful god himself.

Just like now...

This wasn't the first time Snow Island had used her sister's account to play the game; in the Dream City, the character she created was a true apex predator.

This is the ultimate account among the richest accounts; every piece of equipment on the character and the character's overall build are the strongest in the current version.

After landing, Snow Island discovers that her character is on the top floor of a building.

"Let me see."

Yukishima first opened her sister's friend list and found that her account 'Yukishima Haruka' was showing as offline.

This is only natural; how could she be online if she hadn't even logged into her account?

"If my character really awakens self-awareness, how do I find her? Should I look for her near the property I bought in the fantasy city?"

As Xuedao was struggling with her decision, the black dagger in her hand suddenly trembled, as if it wanted to move towards the 'friends list' interface like a magnet.

"Ok?"

Yukishima tentatively touched the name 'Yukishima Haruka' with the tip of her dagger. The next second, Yukishima Haruka's status changed from never being online to orange, representing busyness.

The name also revealed her location: 'Room 104, 52nd Floor, Central Building'.

"She's actually online?! No... I should say, has my daughter really been secretly living with me behind my back after I went offline?"

Snow Island is currently experiencing a surge of joy, somewhat like discovering a hidden reward in a game.

After confirming the exact location of her 'daughter' Haruka, she did not hesitate and directly controlled her older sister character to jump off the high-rise building.

The character's profession is 'Shadow Esper', who possesses the power to manipulate shadows and darkness.

Dream City is a game with extremely high freedom of choice. The overall experience feels like a ten-times larger version of GTA, plus the combined experience of several urban superpower games such as Marvel's Spider-Man and Prototype.

Furthermore, the fantasy city itself has an extremely rich network of narrative storylines. Also, because it is a real world, every building in the city is accessible, and each building carries different functions and storylines.

Snow Island controlled her older sister's role, relying on her ability to control shadows, and like Spider-Man, she traversed freely between skyscrapers, reaching the vicinity of the most important and magnificent building in the Dream City at top speed.

The Central Building is a towering structure that reaches straight into the sky, reportedly over three hundred stories high.

It is also one of the landmark buildings of the dream city. In version 5.0, the official also promised that this central building would eventually lead to the universe and start a new version of space travel.

Unfortunately, given the current operational strategy of Dream City, we probably won't be able to enjoy this pie anymore.

Is this the place?

Snow Island entered the first floor of the central building, which also houses the game's main city and starting area, among other functions...

After taking the elevator to the 52nd floor on the snow island, she began to inexplicably look forward to her daughter, Haruka… She had been secretly doing something while she was offline.

Xuedao now inexplicably feels a sense of pride and happiness as an elderly mother visiting her successful youngest daughter, along with a sense of anticipation about what her lovely little daughter is up to.

With this feeling of great anticipation, Xuedao arrived at the fifty-second floor of the Central Building... the Central Command Floor.

Chapter 74 How much suffering has she endured in these past three years! (Final Chapter)

I'm requesting monthly pass support for one day!!

The setting of Dream City is very similar to that of Academy City, both being stages where superpowers and magic are intertwined.

Snow Island naturally chose the side of superpowers, and the organization that now governs the entire Dream City is set in the background as the 'City Council'.

The council also includes several special departments... and several 'academies' with different national styles.

While searching for someone on the 52nd floor, Xuedao also carefully considered, based on the background setting of Dream City, what her daughter's current identity and status were in Dream City.

First and foremost, her daughter Yaoxiang's most prestigious identity and status is undoubtedly that of a 'Ten Heavenly Saint'.

This title cannot be obtained by players through grinding or hard work. The meaning of "Ten-Day Saint" is that only players who stand at the top of each of the ten most influential academies in the current Dream City can obtain this title!

According to players, the title 'Ten Heavenly Saints' can only be obtained through PVP in the Academy Battle.

A season lasts approximately three months. If a player's PVP contribution consistently ranks first on the current academy leaderboard, they will be awarded the title of 'Ten-Day Saint' at the end of the season.

In short, as long as you have this title, whether it's an NPC on the street or a player, they'll all respectfully exclaim, "Ah! It's a big shot! I'm dead!"
