Online game: Mistakenly became a female character, started by slaughtering millions of chickens.

The Demonized Forest.

Stepping into this forest shrouded in black mist, the surrounding light instantly dimmed.

Su Yu frowned. The trees here were twisted and bizarre, like menacing ghostly hands. A faint stench of decay permeated the air, and occasionally, a few chilling wolf howls could be heard from afar.

He carried his katana, keeping a watchful eye on his surroundings while casually glancing at the guild chat.

My best friend, Fatty, has a grayed-out profile picture. He's probably either offline to eat, or he's been provoked by Qin Tian's purple weapon and is posting on the forum to brag.

Su Yu glanced at his sister in his friend list again.

[ID: Qianqian (Pastor)]

[Status: Online (In a team: Lin Qingyue.....)]

Location: Dawn City, Western Suburbs, Advanced Leveling Area

"It's definitely good to hang out with a rich female president."

Su Yu breathed a sigh of relief and smiled with satisfaction. With a top-tier mentor like Lin Qingyue, her older sister's safety and status were definitely not a concern.

He can then focus on his own business and get rid of this damn red name as soon as possible.

Turning off the control panel, Su Yu quickened his pace.

Most of the monsters in this outer area are around level 8. Although you can remove the red name, there are quite a few players here, so it's easy for them to fight over them.

He planned to go a little deeper, into the more dangerous, but also more tranquil, depths.

However, just as he was walking through a thicket of bushes...

"Ah—! Help!"

"Iron Pillar! Hold it! Don't let it get any closer!"

"I can't take it anymore! Nanny, please give me a little milk!"

A flurry of cries for help and the clang of metal came from ahead.

Su Yu stopped and looked through the gaps in the leaves.

In the open space ahead, three players stood back to back, looking disheveled. Around them, two enormous [Demonized Black Wolves (Lv.9)] were drooling and launching frenzied attacks.

The configuration of these three people is quite standard:

A burly warrior wielding a tattered shield, whose ID is [Iron Pillar].

A swordsman and a priest who look like a couple; the man is called "Qingfeng" and the woman is called "Mingyue".

However, the equipment of these three people was really too poor, and their teamwork was also a complete mess.

Iron Pillar, the knight, couldn't hold back the aggro at all, as two demonized black wolves were relentlessly tearing at the fragile swordsman named Qingfeng.

Most importantly...

Su Yu glanced at the guild prefix above their heads.

【Qingge·Qingfeng】

【Qingge·Bright Moon】

【Qingge·Iron Pillar】

"So you're from our own guild." Su Yu raised an eyebrow.

Since they're on the same side, it's not right to just stand by and watch them die. After all, Lin Qingyue has been good to him, and helping the guild's newbies is just a small favor.

At this point, the situation on the field was already in dire straits.

"Wife, run! I can't stop them!"

The male swordsman named Qingfeng had only a sliver of health left, and the demonized black wolf was about to bite off his neck with its gaping maw.

At this critical moment.

brush--!

A red figure darted out from the woods.

boom!!

Su Yu leaped high into the air, his purple katana slamming down with unstoppable force onto the head of the black wolf that was about to commit its attack.

The level nine demonized black wolf's body was smashed into the ground, its health bar instantly dropping below half. Then, Su Yu landed and, using the momentum, delivered a backhand upward slash, precisely knocking away the second black wolf that was pouncing on the shield guard.

Basic attack! Followed by a heavy slash!

The movements are fluid and smooth, without any unnecessary fancy effects; it's all about simple, unpretentious numerical superiority.

Just two seconds.

The two elite monsters that had driven the trio to despair were reduced to two corpses.

Quiet.

A deathly silence.

The trio, who had been screaming in panic, now stared wide-eyed at the red figure standing beside the wolf carcass, slowly sheathing his knife.

Dressed in fiery red, with flowing black hair, the katana in her hand looked particularly eerie in the dim forest.

Su Yu turned around, her clear, cool eyes sweeping over the three of them, and asked indifferently:

"Are you alright?"

Upon hearing this voice, the girl named Mingyue suddenly came to her senses.

Her eyes widened as she stared intently at Su Yu's face, then glanced at the purple weapon in his hand, and suddenly let out a scream that could pierce eardrums:

"Aaaaaah—!!"

"Red clothes! A purple katana! And this face!"

"Holy crap! You're that Su Yu who did 50% DPS in yesterday's raid?!"

"It really is Su Yu, the master! I've seen your photos on the forum! You're my idol!"

Mingyue was so excited that her face turned red. If her boyfriend hadn't been holding her back, she probably would have pounced on him already.

At this time.

The male swordsman Qingfeng, who had narrowly escaped death, finally recovered from the shock he had just experienced.

He stared blankly at Su Yu's face, which appeared even more aloof and exquisitely beautiful in the dim light, his eyes wide open, and he subconsciously swallowed.

"Gulp..."

"This...this is so beautiful..."

"She's a hundred times more beautiful in person than in photos..."

He had barely finished speaking.

Awooo—!

A cry even more pitiful than the one from being bitten by a wolf rang out.

His ear was being tightly twisted by his girlfriend, Mingyue, who had skillfully rotated it 360 degrees.

"Is it pretty? Huh?"

Mingyue wore a benevolent smile, but her grip remained firm: "Want me to gouge your eyes out so you can look at them all you want?"

"Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Honey, I'm sorry! Let go! It's about to break!"

Qingfeng winced in pain, begging for mercy while explaining, "I...I just admired the pro player's gear! Really! My admiration for the pro player is like a surging river..."

Seeing this flirtatious scene, Su Yu's tense nerves relaxed a little.

only.....

Feeling the intense gaze the male swordsman was casting at her, as if he were looking at a beautiful woman, Su Yu's lips twitched involuntarily.

I felt nothing, and even a little like laughing, but more than that, I felt an indescribable awkwardness.

"Dude, stop looking."

Su Yu felt somewhat helpless. If she had known he was a man, she wondered if she would still have thought this way; she probably would have died on the spot...

Thinking of this, Su Yu suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.

"Cough cough."

He didn't want to dwell on this awkward topic any longer, and simply waved his hand:

"Since there's nothing else, I'll be going now."

"There are too few monsters here, be careful."

After saying this, without waiting for the three to stop him, Su Yu picked up his katana and turned to walk deeper into the forest.

"Take care, master! You're so handsome!"

The sound of Mingyue calling out came from behind.

Su Yu walked even faster.

As long as I don't turn back, embarrassment can't catch up with me.
