Highway Survival for All: My RV's Infinite Evolution

【Mythical Battlefield - Day Two】

【City of Opera】

This is a medieval Gothic city. The sky here is not clouds, but a vast, boundless white velvet curtain.

On Central Avenue, the buildings on both sides are tall and sharp.

"Giddy up! Giddy up! Get out of the way! All of you, get out of the way—!"

A dozen or so all-black four-wheeled carriages, their carriages adorned with intricate city lord crests, sped headlong toward the tallest castle in the city center, ignoring the lives of the commoners on the streets.

"Cough cough... cough cough cough..."

A young woman in a white lace dress was nearly knocked over. She leaned against the stone wall, clutching her chest in pain and coughing violently.

She is Li Hanyue.

A top player with a dual personality seemed so weak at this moment that he looked as if a gust of wind could blow him over.

Her alter ego, "Li Feiyue," was screaming madly: "Let me out! Kill all these disgusting knights! Drain their blood!"

A hint of coldness flashed across Li Hanyue's face, but she still shook her head.

She can't do that.

In this opera city, which is like a giant stage, a character card appears in the palm of each player's hand.

Within this mythical battlefield, players are actors in a stage play. All actions and behaviors must absolutely conform to the settings of the [Character Card]!

Once an out-of-compete (OOC) behavior occurs, the rules will be triggered!

Li Hanyue's character card clearly states: "[A fallen noble lady]".

The character requirements are listed below: pitiful and sickly. She must be breathless after taking three steps, and can only silently shed tears when wronged, displaying a fragile and pitiful quality. Absolutely, absolutely not, can she use any means exceeding human strength! Her ancestors were once illustrious earls.

"Miss! Are you alright?!"

Accompanied by a series of hurried footsteps, Li Feifei, dressed in dark, tight-fitting leather armor with a short sword and dagger at her waist, came running over breathlessly.

Her role card is "Loyal Bodyguard of the Noble Lady," and the script requires her to find odd jobs on the streets to support her sickly young lady.

"I...cough cough, I'm fine." Li Hanyue covered her mouth with a handkerchief, her voice barely audible, completely absorbed in the role.

"Miss, let's go back first. I helped the blacksmith with the bellows all day, and now I finally have dinner sorted out." Li Feifei pulled out a crumpled brown paper bag from her bosom, inside which were two pounds of black bread as hard as rocks.

Who would have thought that two top masters would now have to survive on black bread?

Just as the two were about to help each other leave, something unexpected happened.

"Clang! Clang! Clang!"

The clock tower at the end of the street rang out a dull bell.

A squad of fully armed city lord guards suddenly emerged from the crossroads.

They scanned the civilians on the street with extremely brazen eyes, as if selecting livestock, and without saying a word, rushed up, grabbed a few women who were fairly good-looking, and dragged them away.

"Ah! Let me go! What are you doing?!"

A female player wearing a coarse cloth skirt was held down by two guards, struggling desperately with her face full of fear and indignation.

The leading guard captain, clad in gleaming silver half-body armor, stepped forward with a cold smile and gripped the female player's chin with his large, gauntlet-covered hand.

"What are you yelling about? Lord Earl Edric is hosting a grand ball tonight and needs a large number of maids."

"I won't go! Let me go!!" the female player screamed, tears welling up in her eyes.

After spending two days in this opera city, who doesn't know that the so-called Count Edric is a complete pervert? The actor playing the city lord, relying on the system's identity, is utterly debauched. Once a woman is captured and brought to the city lord's mansion, her fate is absolutely worse than death!

However, this female player's identity card was only that of a "civilian," and the rules restricted her to only fear when facing the guards, and she could not fight back!

"Hurrah! I'll fight you scum!!!"

Just then, not far away, a female player from the Grizzly Bear Kingdom with an extremely hot figure finally couldn't bear this suffocating torment any longer.

Her eyes were bloodshot. She ripped off her long, cumbersome dress, drew a submachine gun, cocked it, and prepared to mow down the knights.

But before she could fire the shot...

A thin, transparent blue line descended from the white sky and pierced his spine with a "whoosh." She didn't even have time to scream; she was like a puppet, forcibly controlled and obeyed.

"hiss--"

The entire street was deathly silent.

In the distance, Li Hanyue and Li Feifei's faces turned deathly pale, and cold sweat broke out on their backs.

This is the punishment of the rules! If you go out of character (OOC), that bizarre puppet string will descend!

The implication is that you don't know how to play this role, so I'll teach you!

"There! In the corner!"

Suddenly, a sharp-eyed guard turned around and stared intently at Li Hanyue. Although Li Hanyue had deliberately smeared ash on her face, her innate aloofness and stunning beauty made her stand out like a searchlight in the dark among the commoners.

The captain of the guard's eyes lit up, and he licked his lips: "Bring that sickly beauty here! The Earl's been enjoying this kind of thing lately!"

"Damn it! Run!"

Li Feifei cursed under her breath. As a loyal guard, she immediately drew her short sword and stood in front of Li Hanyue, grabbing her wrist and running wildly down the side alley.

"Stop right there! If you run again, don't blame me for being ruthless!" The heavy footsteps and vicious curses of the guards came from behind.

As Li Hanyue ran, she desperately suppressed the insane urge of Li Feiyue to "turn back and kill them all," while also trying to maintain her frail persona of "being out of breath after every three steps," making the run extremely difficult.

Just as the two rushed around a street corner, about to be locked onto by a crossbow from behind.

"Squeak—"

On a street corner, an inconspicuous European-style café suddenly had its heavy oak door pushed open a crack.

"Come in, you two!"

A clear, crisp female voice came from the crack in the door.

Without the slightest hesitation, Li Hanyue and Li Feifei slipped into the coffee shop.

The door slammed shut, and the sounds of pursuit outside lingered for a while before gradually fading away, accompanied by a few curses and complaints.

After confirming that the guards had left, Li Hanyue leaned against the door and let out a long sigh of relief.

She looked up and glanced around the room, which was filled with the rich aroma of coffee beans.

In front of the bar stood a capable woman dressed in a black and white maid outfit with short, ear-length hair.

Li Hanyue was slightly taken aback, then cupped her hands and said, "I am Li Hanyue, thank you for your help."

"Li Hanyue?"

The short-haired woman behind the bar, wiping the glass in her hand, paused slightly, her eyes suddenly burning: "Li Hanyue, ranked thirty-eighth on the leaderboard? You're the one... who drew the [Fallen Noble Lady] character card?!"

"You know me?" Li Hanyue frowned slightly, her eyes instantly becoming wary.

"I've been looking for you." The short-haired woman extended her hand generously, a smile playing on her lips. "Let's get to know each other formally. My name is Xia Yun'er."
