Am I going to be controlled by the players too?

Mu Zimi tilted her head in confusion, her face remaining expressionless, but her mind was in turmoil: "Huh? Does being on QQ mean we're boyfriend and girlfriend? What about the other people in the hotel? Girlfriends? Wait, I was on QQ with Cheng Cheng too, could it be... he's my boyfriend too?"

"Hehe~"

Seeing that she could still play a little prank before she left, she suddenly felt that reincarnation wasn't so scary after all.

Brother Cheng Cheng, did you know... that Motis is not only the most cheerful and best actress among Mu Zimi's friends... but also the one who loves playing pranks the most?

Metis retreated to the shore with her hands behind her back, leaning slightly forward, and smiled brightly, "So, you must remember me! Big Brother Cheng Cheng! If we can meet again in the next life, I will definitely come to find you and be your lover for eternity~"

Cheng Cheng reached out and touched the lingering fragrance on his lips, his heart filled with mixed emotions.

Metis smiled, looked again at the disappearing river, and murmured softly, "After reincarnation, I will no longer be anyone's puppet. I can finally be free and live for happiness... Let's abandon the name 'Metis' from now on."

"What new name should I choose for my next life?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she leaned back and fell straight into the river.

"Do not--!"

In a daze, she vaguely heard Cheng Cheng's voiceless shouts coming from the shore.

A sense of triumph welled up in her heart, and she secretly rejoiced. It seemed that this prank had ultimately left an indelible regret in his heart.

Metis, Metis, you are such a naughty girl.

No, from now on, I will no longer have this name... What name should I choose?

The river water washed over me, and I could hear the sound of bubbles in my ears.

"Gurgle...gurgle..."

Her fading consciousness was still struggling to come up with a new name, intermittently repeating the syllables she had last heard in this world: "No... Gu? Bu Gu? Or... Bu Gu?"

A moment later, a faint smile appeared on her lifeless face:

"Hmm... this last one sounds pretty good~"

The girl's consciousness eventually faded into nothingness in the endless cycle of reincarnation.

Chapter 144, What are "ordinary" and "taken for granted"?

"call……"

The night is deep.

After finishing Mu Zimi's mental drama, Cheng Cheng was exhausted and chose to quit the game.

Before leaving, I checked Mu Zimi's character attributes:

"The Incarnation of the World-Honored One - Mu Zimi"

Level: 61

Combat Power: EX

"Intimacy: 50 (80% attribute sharing)"

"Inherent Talent - Multi-Headed Monster: Mu Zimi possesses multiple personalities, capable of splitting them into separate individuals (currently ineffective)."

"First Life - Primordial Chaos: Born with the essence of chaos, but sealed within the Church of the Primordial God; Second Life - Self from Another World: Blessed by the 'Moon,' lies are more easily believed; Third Life - Embracing the Miracle of Magic: Normal attack damage increased; Fourth Life - Bearing the Legacy of the Gu Realm: Possesses the Immortal Aperture of the Great Love Immortal Venerable, allowing the use of remaining killing moves and Gu worms; Fifth Life - Maintaining an Eternal Childlike Heart: Ultimate skill damage increased; Sixth Life - The Gaze of Extraterrestrial Gods: Effect unknown."

"Source Material: [Basic] Chaos Wheel (Mastery: 100%) (Unlocking: 20%)"

"50 intimacy points, that's pretty much a mini-graduation..." Cheng Cheng muttered to himself, looking at the character's stats. "The strength is also pretty good. This mini-graduation for Mu Zimi is so awesome!"

I really want to get back into the game and have some fun controlling Mu Zimi after she's just graduated.

"However, as Mu Zimi and the others entered the cycle of reincarnation, the 'Inherent Talent - Multi-Headed Monster' has become ineffective..."

"They're not hiding their fates anymore. The effects of one life... The Church of Genshin Impact was actually able to seal the essence of a primordial demon, allowing him to live like an ordinary person. It seems the Church of Genshin Impact is stronger than I imagined... There must be at least one true god among them, right?"

Which one could it be?

Furthermore, what exactly constitutes "ordinary" and "taken for granted"?

In this world, which is also threatened by the abyss, there will probably never be a truly ordinary life again.

"Second life effect... ugh, what does this have to do with the 'moon'? Is Mu Zimi the sister of the March goddess, Columbia?"

“Four lives are useful, though. Although a lot of the Great Love Immortal Venerable’s Immortal Gu have starved to death, there are still some decent immortal killing moves we can use.” Cheng Cheng continued reading, “Three and five lives are just filler, just like in ‘Yuan Shen’. Sigh, this crappy game plagiarizes ‘Yuan Shen’ every day. If this continues, what will become of our ‘Destiny: Immortal Crown’ (choking up)…”

"The only thing still being concealed is the Six Lives, the spying of extraterrestrial gods... Hasn't Mu Zimi already severed ties with her past and is no longer affected by her previous life?"

It seems that although Kasyapa Namo is gone, the "Buddha Tathagata" has not given up.

We were already facing enough troubles from the abyss and the primordial demons, and now an extraterrestrial god has appeared. If this continues, what will become of our Earth? (choking up)...

After flipping through the pages for a while, I looked up at the clock and saw it was already midnight.

I entered Mu Zimi's mental world around 7 PM, and there was a welcome banquet, a series of arrests, a battle with Kasyapa Ruomu and the Buddha's projection. I didn't get back until midnight... It seems that the flow of time in the mental world is different from that in reality.

I'm a little hungry, let's order some food from Meituan.

Meituan Pinhaofan now has a "Clear Kitchen" feature for merchants, where you can see real photos of the kitchen and even live cooking demonstrations. You can see whether the food preparation environment is clean and hygienic before placing an order. It's cheap, delicious, and cost-effective... Wait a minute, I think I'm quite rich now?

Although Mu Yuan initially donated the five million to children in mountainous areas, she later obtained more than ten million from her. There was no need to order a meal together, right?

Without even using coupons, Cheng Cheng directly searched for the most expensive takeout on Meituan and ordered a steak costing over 300 yuan and seafood costing over 700 yuan. Only then did he realize that he really didn't know how to use his money... If it were Mu Yuan who was hungry at night, she would either have a private chef or call Michelin directly, right?

Hmm... how about we go to Mu Yuan's house for a free meal?

Although he said he was just trying to freeload a meal, all he could think about was seeing Mu Zimi.

Just now, I was imagining them fighting side-by-side, and it seemed a bit inappropriate not to meet in real life; but it's so late now...

Despite having already developed deep feelings for Freya and Sylvia, knowing Bugu inside and out, and even breaking through the sky with Mu Zimi... Cheng Cheng still hesitated for a long time, like a high school student who had never been in a relationship and was about to go to his girlfriend's house, unable to make up his mind.

After all, it's a face-to-face meeting...

In the end, I gave up.

He opened his phone and realized he had hesitated for too long; the food delivery had already arrived. Cheng Cheng sighed and opened the door.

In the living room, the parents were still awake. The older sister, the one-year-old brother, and the family's Labrador were all gathered together, watching a movie on the big screen while enjoying their takeout. It was a scene of harmony and family joy.

"As expected, our annual family gathering should include something nice!" The father picked up a piece of steak and tossed it to the Labrador. "Brian, this is for you!"

Brian: "Woof (wagging tail)!"

"I wonder which kind person sent us this late-night snack. Was it the Fairy of the Snail?" The older sister slurped up her crab roe noodles. "It must be the Fairy of the Snail. After all, GHG is a fine virtue for us girls."

Mother: "Sigh, this snail fairy must not have studied our ancestors' traditional Chinese medicine. She doesn't know that you can't eat after nine o'clock at night, because at this time the body's yang energy is restrained and yin energy is increased, which will lead to stagnation in the spleen and stomach, producing phlegm and dampness, and over time it will damage the body's vital energy... not to mention that it's foreigners' food!"

"Mom, don't just talk, save me a dessert!"

Younger brother: "Eee-yah-yah~"

Cheng Cheng: "...When was this annual family gathering scheduled? How come I didn't know about it?"

Sister: "Just now, I saw that a fairy godmother was delivering takeout, so I called everyone to have a late-night snack together... Didn't you say that no matter what happens, I shouldn't bother you?"

Cheng Cheng: "??? Dude, this is what I ordered!"

On the other side, when the father saw Cheng Cheng enter the living room, he was startled: "Who the hell are you?!"

Mother: "Have you forgotten? This is our son!"

"Isn't our son only one year old?"

"The big one, he plays video games at home all day, it's normal that you don't remember him." The mother got angry when she talked about this. "Cheng Cheng, I'm not trying to criticize you, but all you do is play video games. What use are you in society? In this society, people only remember the first place!"

Cheng Cheng: "Are you sure?"

Mother: "Nonsense!"

Cheng Cheng: "Then who is the world's second largest economy?"

The mother felt as if a hat had fallen from the sky, and was immediately startled: "Holy crap, there's even a strategy from the previous version!"

My sister was also pleasantly surprised: "Wow, you use Xiaohongshu too!"

“…Never mind, I’m not hungry anymore.” Cheng Cheng sighed. “I’m going back to my room to sleep. Don’t disturb me.”

It's time to sleep.

Since the Witch's Night began, he hasn't slept a wink. One thing after another has happened. He's either killing in the game or killing in real life, and he even goes to Mu Zimi's mental theater to chat on QQ... Even though his physical body is now so strong that he doesn't need sleep, his mind still feels tired.

I closed the door, thinking the world would be quiet, but the laughter and chatter of my family outside still reached my ears.

"Oh my, our daughter is actually using Xiaohongshu! Looks like you've really been studying hard at home for your exams... You're so amazing, you're my pride and joy!"

"You flatter me, you flatter me! You and Dad are my true heroes! Home is my eternal ark!"

"Yes, yes, our family is an unbreakable and fearless pact. Genshin Impact will bless our family with everything going smoothly!"

"Whether it's you or your brother, you are both peacekeepers in our family. I hope our Delta will be safe and sound. Let's take the Starry Sky Railway for a trip in a few days!"

Cheng Cheng: "...Amazing."

I'm hopeless, I can't take it anymore, I really want to run away from home...

…………

"call……"

The night is deep.

Mu Yuan rubbed her hands, which were busy typing, and looked at the file she had just finished writing on the computer screen:

"Anomaly ID: Undetermined"

"Anomaly Name: Cheng Cheng"

"Rank: Difficult to determine, estimated at S-rank (Legendary)"

Special control measures: Given the target's highly anthropomorphic characteristics, it is recommended that the target wear a cognitively stable collar during daily contact. Three times the recommended dose of caffeine may be used as an observation aid to prevent interference with thinking by its abstract pronouncements;

Regarding specific management measures, it is temporarily recommended to make human rights-compliant arrangements according to the standards of the Human Rights Council, or to invite him to join the Primal God Cult for management. However, given that this is an extremely abstract concept, it may be necessary to disregard his human nature if necessary.

"Description: The target has standard human male physical characteristics and is currently studying at Dongshui City Sports University. His appearance is similar to that of an average student. He is 184cm tall, has a good physique, orange hair, and his facial features are above average by normal human aesthetic standards. (PS: The high standard is based on the great Dr. Mu Yuan and her lovely sister. By ordinary standards, he should be considered quite handsome...)"

"Abnormal characteristics:"

1. Cheng Cheng possesses physical strength that surpasses human limits, but his genetic sequence is no different from that of humans;

2. Cheng Cheng possesses multiple sparks of fire, the origin of which is unknown;

3. Cheng Cheng can use the "Puppet" seed, the "Empress," and the authority of [Understanding], but he doesn't know their origin. He hopes to receive confirmation from the Sect Leader and the Second Seat.
