Dark Eldar

258 Unwilling to settle for mediocrity

"Dark Eldar" ranks highly in readers' poll for best fantasy novel!

A world composed of madmen, beggars, farmers, and "roarers" (generally used to describe high-ranking heroes who love to complain) might be the most perfect one... —Nameless Commandment 161681163841

Loki has been in a daze these past few days. Within the powerful "virtual space" of the Mysterious House boss, he hasn't found "relief." His soul-bound artifact, the "Mold of the Creator," can provide "buffs." Sometimes, for some, these "buffs" manifest as a peculiar, unsatisfying mindset...

In the Woodcutter's Forest (coordinates unknown), Loki sits alone at the end of a broken log, lost in thought. Priestess Catherine is powerless to help. Sometimes, to make it as realistic as possible, she deliberately acts "aloof." The Priestess Catherine of this other world is always "aloof," and if she were constantly being affectionate, Loki would definitely get annoyed. The boss of the Strange House isn't stupid. (Note: The higher-level intelligent monsters, or epic monsters, "generated" by the Strange House are "independent" higher-level intelligent beings. Compared to the current otherworldly order, their "physical" configuration is incomparable. Moreover, the Strange House is already heavily damaged. The invasion of the "worm" virus was not premeditated. It is largely the work of the "order." The otherworldly order is relatively merciful, allowing a small number of "trial bosses" to fend for themselves. If it were another cold-blooded order, it would probably have been completely invaded by the virus long ago. It is possible that the current order of the otherworld is not powerful enough, or that it is "too busy to look elsewhere"... etc. Some of these speculations are true, and some are not. In short, "existence is its own justification.")

The "boss" of the strange house wants Elder Sun Yun to come and help. The power of the latest version of the artifact, "Creator's Hammer," is almost enough to rival this super boss. If they don't take precautions, "Forget-Worry Pavilion" might "play with fire and get burned."

In another elegant "separate room," Elder Sun Yun remained unconscious. Upon seeing visitors, he assumed it was another round of "philosophers from the Hundred Schools of Thought" coming to flatter him. Elder Sun Yun encountered "Ya Mei" (female, healer, level 39) again, having gotten a little carried away. He had completely forgotten his identity as an "elder from another world." Various Eastern cultural figures, such as those from the "Classic of Poetry" and the "Analects," came to visit (default level). The healer Ya Mei nestled affectionately in her senior brother Sun Yun's arms. Meanwhile, Elder Sun Yun's appearance had changed; his hair had become jet black and shiny, and the wrinkles on his face had gradually faded, returning him to his "apprenticeship." (Eastern magic is profound and complex. In terms of spellcasting rhythm and spell structure, it's somewhat similar to Western "bards." Before casting a spell, they would recite famous poems and verses, and for healing, they would chant blessings and other incantations. The modern magical world, however, places more emphasis on "efficiency," taking a different path from traditional magicians. There are ice, water, lightning, and even mental magic, with very detailed branches. If you want to learn a particular spell, you can simply buy the book in the main city. If it's too obscure, you have to search the auction house. For example, the current warlock class, SS. In Eastern magic, there used to be spells that could summon "zombies" and "imps," but these have unfortunately been lost. Tracing their history, it seems there was a ghost king boss named "Qin Shi Huang," and after he was defeated, no more powerful warlocks have appeared since... In the Western magical hierarchy, the ninja class is more highly regarded, even surpassing the proportion of "bards.")

As it turns out, Loki will never settle for mediocrity, no matter where he is.

"Sister Catherine, let's leave here. I want to go and see the ruins of another world; maybe we'll make some important discoveries," Loki earnestly requested after returning to his "comfort home" and having dinner.

"Back to the other world?? Loki, haven't I told you many times? There's nothing there anymore, it's no use for you to go." Catherine answered shyly, instinctively. She even smoothed her hair, trying to confuse Loki's mind. (Detailed Explanation: Although the BOSS of the Strange House is high-level, it hasn't reached the point of being able to "create people out of thin air." The virtual characters like Catherine and Yami are generally played by one of its high-ranking slaves, presumably a high-ranking maid. Their specific identities, personalities, and even their ID numbers are difficult to ascertain. Analysis: This imprisoned "Eastern maid" is almost devoid of her own mind. She only arrived temporarily after learning from the "Training Material Task 2" given by the BOSS of the Strange House. As for questions like "Was the learning time sufficient?", these are essentially negligible in the computing environment of this once "super AI." Each room in the Strange House BOSS's territory is completely independent ("Caution: Those with trypophobia beware"), and each room should have a dedicated cleaner. A netizen asked, "Won't these people feel suffocated?" The official answer is unclear. A hasty "temporary patch" was added later. The text is brief, but the general meaning is probably "to each their own.")

"Sister Catherine, you weren't like this before. I hope you can think about it again. We can even rebuild our home," Loki continued earnestly.

The powerful artifact, the "Mjolnir," bestowed upon Loki an aura of immense power, purifying his mind and filling him with positive energy. Even in dire straits, he remained in a state of "otherworld."
