No health bar? You call this stunningly beautiful NPC sickly?

"Let's go out and take a look. Let's not waste any more time here." Shen Die took a deep breath and stood up from her seat first.

Since the three bigwigs at the long table didn't try to stop them, instead of waiting to be killed, they decided to take the initiative to go inside the manor to find clues to break the deadlock.

Yuexi and Gu Wenzhou exchanged a glance and then got up to follow. The other alien prodigies who were not familiar with each other also quickly huddled together and followed behind, afraid of being left alone in this oppressive hall.

The group passed through the tall archway and stepped into the corridor outside the manor.

Upon hearing the footsteps, the royal guards knights who were originally standing guard under the corridor did not block them with their halberds. Instead, they stepped back half a step to the sides in unison, placed their right hands on their chests, and bowed deeply to Shen Die and Yue Xi, who were walking at the front!

A cool night breeze swept through the corridors, ruffling the dark red feather ornaments on the knights' helmets.

Han Yue paused for a moment, looking at the blood-armored heavy cavalrymen who were bowing respectfully on both sides. He then moved closer to Gu Wenzhou and whispered something in a low voice.

"Brother Gu, am I seeing things? Just now in the hall, these murderers were practically ready to tear us apart, so why are they being so polite to Sister Shen and Miss Yuexi now?"

Gu Wenzhou gently pushed up his glasses, his gaze sweeping over the thorn insignia on the knights' chests, before typing a line of text in the team chat.

[Gu Wenzhou: "With the court and their own superior legion commander present in the hall, the knights naturally have to consider their own dignity. Now that they've avoided outsiders, they're showing the respect due to those favored by the gods. This confirms what Senior Tia said: those favored by the gods also possess extremely high privileges within the royal court."]

[Yuexi: "Hmph, these tin cans know what's good for them. Cangya, take a few aliens to scout the west garden. If anything happens, immediately send a signal on the channel."]

The wolf girl Cangya pounded her chest with delight, beckoned to the black-cloaked priest and several other alien players, and turned to sneak off down another side path.

The remaining core members continued along the main corridor deeper into the manor. Being wary of potential eavesdropping from the shadows, no one spoke loudly, relying entirely on the team channel to communicate.

Cheng Xiaocheng: "Actually, when Your Majesty came over just now, I had so much I wanted to say to her, and I even wanted to ask her about the graduation message she left for us at Faceless No. 1 High School, but when I saw that she could barely stand, how could I dare to go up and bother her?"

Shen Die: "We cannot trouble Your Majesty any further. Whether it was her main body or her clone that descended just now, Your Majesty has already suffered extreme losses. Even if we all perish in this manor today, we absolutely cannot force her to take action again."

Shen Die's words were met with tacit approval from everyone, and even Han Yue, who was always afraid of death, did not object.

If everything has to be done by that half-dead god risking his life, then these followers who consider themselves the backbone of the Holy Land are far too useless.

[Han Yue: "Speaking of which, before we entered the instance, those high-level dispatchers from the Blue Star server came to my office every day, trying to get information about His Majesty. They were implying that they wanted His Majesty to come back to the Red Moon Church for a visit."]

[Review: "Oh? Dispatchers? Aren't they under the control of the weird system?"]

[Han Yue: "Hey, they've long since become fanatical believers in our Holy Land! I heard that the chief dispatcher in Transfer Hall 87 has emptied his savings and mobilized hundreds of high-star BOSSes to plunder materials everywhere, completely renovating the Red Moon Branch Church beyond recognition, just waiting for His Majesty to return for the ribbon-cutting ceremony!"]

Upon seeing this message, everyone's tense nerves finally relaxed a bit, except for Fu Qingfeng, who remained silent as he walked in the middle of the group.

Holding a paper umbrella adorned with plum blossoms, she gazed beyond the layers of rooftops towards the clock tower shrouded in black mist outside the manor.

The aura emanating from there was exactly the same as that of the arrogant monarch who had forcibly torn through her disguise in the void. The other party was clearly waiting for her response in the dark.

While the players were running around with heavy hearts, vowing never to cause any trouble for the goddess.

Mu Zhixi, sitting on the soft couch in the side hall, was staring intently at the system store interface in front of her.

"Give me another 700 blind box vouchers!"

I refuse to believe it! Inside the transit space, Mu Zhixi's chibi-style consciousness waved her hand and, without even blinking, swiped away nearly 6.3 million faith points.

Even after the discount, a single blind box coupon costs a full 9000 faith points, which is half of all her working capital!

The more tragic the scenarios imagined by the players outside, the more joyfully her faith points jumped in the background. Especially with the efforts of the elven players, in just half a day, she had already made up for a small portion of the losses she had incurred from buying fake accounts.

Now that she has plenty of funds, she's determined to forcefully extract the "God Loves the World" premium outfit today, no matter what!

That's an incredible buff that ignores realm levels and forcibly raises all friendly units in the same world by a small rank. If you could collect the whole set, not only would you be able to deal with the arrogant tides outside, but you could even expose the secrets of the bizarre game's system.

The golden lottery wheel spun rapidly in mid-air, accompanied by a series of crisp beeps, as countless orbs of light fell into the storage compartments.

[Congratulations on obtaining 50 Low-Tier Set Piece Card Packs, 30 Mid-Tier Set Piece Card Packs, 30 S-Rank Blank Custom Character Cards...]

[Triggered the pity system! Congratulations on obtaining a premium set piece, God's Love for the World - Compassionate Dress! (3/6)]

[Triggered the guaranteed reward mechanism! Congratulations on obtaining a top-tier set piece, God's Love for the World - Barefoot Holy Ring! (4/6)]

Only two more accessories are needed to complete the "God Loves the World" premium outfit.

Unfortunately, given how this panel works, it's unclear how long she'll be stuck with the last two items!

Mu Zhixi sighed slightly and chose to activate it.

The next second, a faint warm golden light emanated from the silver-clad goddess on the soft couch, and the thorn crown in her hair and the holy ring on her ankle echoed each other.

[Congratulations, host! Your set activation progress has exceeded 60%, and you have obtained a new skill for this stage of the set!]

【Universal Radiance (Forced Passive): As long as you have not fallen, all followers and allies inscribed in the Holy Land have a 90% chance to trigger "The Sigh of the Gods" when they receive fatal damage, becoming immune to this death and gaining three seconds of physical and magical immunity.】

[(The skill effects will continue to improve as the set is activated)]

"That feels good. I got two big accessories with 700 pulls, not bad!"

Mu Zhixi clapped her hands in satisfaction and casually opened a server-wide pinned announcement that had just popped up from the system.

That was the announcement for the annual multiverse anniversary celebration of the eerie game.

According to the rules on the panel, three days later, all high-star dungeon navigators, leaders of major clans with nine stars or above, and top player representatives from each server will be forcibly summoned to the public hub, the Endless Starry Sea Grand Theater.

At that time, there will not only be open ranking matches for major forces, but also cross-server map battles.

Mu Zhixi rested her chin on her hand, looking at the rows of character cards in her inventory that hadn't even had a chance to show their health bars yet, and then at the group of elven Fourth Scourges on the Emerald Star server who were wielding homemade pistols and looking for monsters to beat up.

The original monsters in the Seven Star Wasteland dungeon have been wiped out by that group of infrastructure-building maniacs. If they don't expand into new maps soon, her more than 10,000 players will be bored out of their minds in the city.

"Perfect timing! With all the major powers gathered for this anniversary celebration, let's give the White Tower Inquisition, the Deep Sea Ancient Temple, and the Ancient Elf Holy Dynasty the grandest spectacle!"

Mu Zhixi skillfully brought up the background editor, preparing to write a few earth-shattering and tear-jerking scripts for the upcoming anniversary celebration, when suddenly a very light footstep sound came from outside the tightly closed carved wooden door of the side hall.

Immediately afterwards, the Holy Guard outside the door fell silent without even sounding the alarm.

Mu Zhixi paused, raised her eyes covered by white feathers, and looked towards the palace gate.

A slender shadow appeared on the originally smooth door panel at some point, and the reflection of nine tails was mirrored in the doorway. Then, a voice passed through the barrier without any hindrance.

"Master, you've been playing with those bugs for so long, now... it's my turn, isn't it?"

Before Mu Zhixi could react to who was outside, she suddenly felt as if someone was holding and stroking the black hair hanging down her chest, which had a slightly threatening feel to it.

Oh no! No matter who's outside, why is the princess still here?!

Mu Zhixi's clever mind kicked in. Could the people outside be looking for the princess? The reflection of that tail... it looks a bit like the pink and white fox she raised in her past life.
