Am I going to be controlled by the players too?

"Experience +30"

He swung his sword faster and faster, his movements becoming increasingly fluid, as if he had entered a state of flow. In his hands, the sword of benevolence was like the scythe of death, reaping the lives of Xiaowu one after another.

The boss and bodyguard watched Sylvia's frenzied slaughter among the rabbits, their expressions gradually shifting from initial shock to confusion, and finally back to shock again.

"How many minutes has it been?" the boss asked in a trembling voice.

"Fifteen minutes...do you even count how many you killed?"

"The fifty-third... the fifty-fourth."

Although the rabbit looks harmless, it is a magical beast that is close to silver rank!

They wouldn't let the young lady kill them—especially after she stepped into the cage. Several rabbits attacked from all directions, and the gold-rank bodyguards had already prepared their holy domains, ready to strike immediately if the young lady was injured.

However, the young lady was unharmed.

She deftly dodged the attack from behind by the rabbits, kicked one in front of her away, then swung her sword, slashing one while pinning the rabbit to the iron cage on her side!

How much combat talent, how much combat experience, and how strong mental and physical strength would that require?

Such skillful killing techniques are reminiscent of a mythical warrior who has died and been resurrected dozens of times, fighting on an endless battlefield...

But that's impossible.

The young lady has never participated in the Abyss War, nor has she ever been to the underground level. How did she develop such killing skills?

The bodyguard didn't dare to think too much; he was just ready to act at any moment and save the young lady before she was in danger.

After all, such a high-intensity battle is an extreme drain on both body and mind—the fur of the rabbits is extremely tough, and every swing of the sword requires all one's strength. Coupled with constant dodging and maneuvering, even the kingdom's regular army would need to rest after five minutes of such a battle, otherwise their stamina and concentration would inevitably decline, and they would be killed by the enemy.

Moreover, the young lady is facing hundreds of rabbits. Even a veteran Silver-ranked warrior would be exhausted by then. At her level, which is just entering Silver-ranked, she can probably only last for about three minutes...

Thinking this, the young lady had been killing rabbits for more than twenty minutes, yet she maintained her initial fighting strength and had not stopped!

"Miss, aren't you tired?" the bodyguard couldn't help but ask.

"Tired? Not bad, I don't feel anything." Cheng Cheng casually killed a fleeing Xiao Wu. "Fighting is only fun, how could it be tiring?"

After all, the system automatically filters out negative effects like pain, making combat feel like playing a game.

Isn't it normal to be completely absorbed in an FPS game for several hours?

"No, I'm so tired! Mr. Godman! I'm so tired!"

Cheng Cheng pretended not to hear Sylvia's wails.

Wow, such terrifying physical abilities—

The bodyguard gasped, his gaze inevitably drawn back to the young lady's ruthless demeanor. Aside from fear, a hint of respect gradually crept into his eyes.

Just then, the boss took out a pair of combat capability testing glasses from the counter and put them on.

"1450..." The shopkeeper read out the number on his glasses, his face full of disbelief. "That's equivalent to the level of someone who has just entered Silver rank two or three years ago... Wait, no, why is his combat power still increasing?"

"What?" The bodyguard was slightly surprised, then understood. "Intense battles are also a form of training. Besides, Miss has been fighting for so long, it's normal for her combat power to improve a bit."

"No, it's not just a slight increase!" the boss exclaimed in horror, "it jumped from 1450 to 1500 all at once!"

"What!?"

How can it be!

Humans can only improve their overall combat power slowly by constantly cultivating and integrating magic into their bodies to temper their physical strength and mental power—how could one's combat power jump fifty points after just one battle?!

"Your glasses aren't broken, are they?" the bodyguard questioned. "If your combat capability monitoring glasses are broken, just go buy a new one. Hey, where do you usually buy these kinds of electronic products? I can recommend..."

"It jumped again!" the boss suddenly exclaimed, interrupting the bodyguard. "It's reached 1550!"

The bodyguard quickly snatched the glasses, checked them, and put them on after finding nothing wrong.

At this moment, the young lady's combat power has reached 1600!

"You can become stronger by killing rabbits..."

The bodyguard took a deep breath, then immediately reacted, crushing his boss's combat capability monitoring glasses, and then pulled out the Claire family crest from his pocket:

"Your glasses are broken, you didn't see anything just now, understand?"

The boss nodded blankly.

While pondering whether to find a chance to send the boss to jail and silence him forever, he glanced at the young lady's dashing figure and couldn't help but sigh:

"As expected of Lord Vilette's daughter... Such extraordinary talent is terrifying."

…………

Another full ten minutes passed.

"Pfft!"

"Experience +30"

With the final strike, the rabbits in the cage were finally wiped out. Cheng Cheng sheathed his sword, leaving only blood and corpses on the ground.

"Xiao Wu, it wasn't me, Sylvia, who killed you all, but this chaotic world that killed you!"

Cheng Cheng sighed in admiration, then looked at Sylvia's attribute panel with satisfaction:

"The Judgment of the End of Light, Sylvia de Claire"

"Intimacy: 13 (43% talent attribute sharing)"

Level: 12→16

Combat Power: 1300 → 1900

"Inherent Talents: Collector, Baki"

"Spark: Burning at the stake, puppetry"

After killing a hundred monsters that were close to the Silver rank, his level increased by four levels, and his combat power nearly doubled!

However, Cheng Cheng was not satisfied.

"Just a little short of level 17," Cheng Cheng thought to himself. "The experience I need to level up once now would be enough to level up 10 times at the beginning of the game... This lousy game is full of pay-to-win elements..."

"Are there any more of these magical pets?" Cheng Cheng asked the shopkeeper. "They're not very strong in combat, but there are a lot of them."

Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper waved his hands frantically, "No...no more! Miss, these rabbits are sourced from the Adventurers' Guild, and this is the only place in the entire capital that sells them! If you've killed them all, then there really aren't any left..."

Adventurers' Guild?

Towards the stars and the abyss, huh? You've plagiarized our Yuanbao again!

With a cold snort, Cheng Cheng memorized the term, pondered for a moment, and then asked, "Alright, how much did it cost this time?"

The shopkeeper said cautiously, "One rabbit is worth 10,000 credits. Since you killed 137, I'll give you a discount. It only costs 1.3 million credits..."

Sylvia's mind immediately went blank: "One million three hundred thousand?"

"A lot?" Cheng Cheng raised an eyebrow. "You...aren't you a noble lady?"

"Well, even so, I'm still a minor and can't access the family trust. I've been using my own allowance, and this month I only have a little over 500,000 left..."

Tsk.

What kind of rich girl is this? I thought she was super rich, but it turns out she's not even as wealthy as me.

You know, I can get a 30 million contract from Mu Yuan just by applying glue, and you, a dignified young lady, are not even worth as much as the glue I apply!

But after thinking about it carefully, Cheng Cheng felt relieved—after all, both games have a currency system, and Cheng Cheng couldn't just draw a rich girl and expect her to come with a dowry so he could spend money as he pleased, could he?

Looks like I still need to find a way to make money... Wait a minute!

Cheng Cheng had a sudden inspiration, and then drew the Sword of Benevolence—

Slide it onto your own neck and slash it hard!

"Oh!"

The bodyguard reacted instantly, kicking the sword out of Cheng Cheng's hand just before the blade could sever his skin!

"So fast!"

Golden's speed was beyond imagination; the crisp sound of the sword being kicked away still reverberated in the air. Cheng Cheng stood frozen in place, his right hand still gripping the sword. Before he could react, the bodyguard asked in a trembling voice, still shaken by fear:

"Young Miss! What are you doing?! Weren't you having a good time killing people just now? Why are you suddenly acting like this?!"

Oh, I'm not thinking anything of doing anything wrong?

This is because they've killed off all the rabbits and can't afford any more money, so they're thinking of committing suicide and reverting to a previous state.

Moreover, after reverting to a previous save file, the attributes from the previous save file are retained, and the Xiao Wu pets in the pet shop can be resurrected on the spot without Tang San having to come and help—this is a win-win-win situation!

The thought of being able to exploit such a bug made Cheng Cheng feel like a genius.

Why did you come out and stop me?

No, that's not right, I shouldn't think like that.

"Has the bug been fixed...?" Cheng Cheng said with relief. "No wonder I got a Gold-tier bodyguard as soon as I logged in. They were afraid that players would commit suicide and trigger the bug."

There's no other way; we still have to make money...

"Intimacy Level: 13 → 0 (30% attribute sharing)"

Cheng Cheng: "???"

Why did our intimacy level drop?!

"Mr. Mambo," Sylvia's plaintive voice echoed in his mind, "Why did you want to kill me?"

Didn't we agree that I was the chosen genius? Wasn't it supposed to be that after I mastered my cultivation, I would help you reclaim everything that belonged to you?

Why are you suddenly trying to kill me?!

"Tsk, this is bad."

Cheng Cheng sighed.

Not only is there a rollback prevention mechanism, but the intimacy level also dropped directly from 13 to 0, so the situation has to be salvaged.

"I..." After a moment's thought, Cheng Cheng spoke, "I'm testing you."

The bodyguard was stunned.

"Test...me?"
