Her voice sounded very old, and with her hunched body, it was obvious that she was an old grandmother.
"You're welcome, I'm just passing by."
Lin nodded at the other party and gave the standard answer according to the routine of the game. Then he asked curiously: "It's so late, why is the old man still in the suburbs? It's very dangerous."
The other person's hand holding the torch trembled slightly, and he lowered his voice: "There is something urgent that needs to be done. There was originally a hunter with us, but he said he was going to relieve himself and never came back."
…I’m afraid I won’t be able to come back, Rin thought silently.
"That's great, young man. Would you like to give me a ride? I can pay you."
Thinking that there was nothing else to do and it would be dangerous for an old man to travel alone at night, Lin nodded in agreement.
Seeing that he agreed, the other party was somewhat happy. He turned around and took out a book from the carriage and handed it to Lin: "I don't have much money, so I'll give this book to you."
Wow! Is it a magic book? Or is it an important clue?
Lin took the book with a slight politeness. Just by looking at the exquisite packaging, he knew that it was worth a lot of money. This was the culture of the other world. He looked at the title again with full of anticipation.
"Dragon Knight hardcover edition, written by Snow. Warning: Those under 16 are prohibited from purchasing or reading."

Chapter 44: In-depth and simple communication with erotic writers
Hey, hey, no matter how you look at it, this is an erotic book that is not suitable for children. I respect you as an elder, but it's not right for you to harm a minor like me, right?
“This…this.”
Lin wanted to complain awkwardly, but then she thought that this was a modified erotic world, so it didn't seem strange to get anything as a gift.
"Young man, this is the work that the most famous bestselling author Snow is most proud of. Who in the entire continent doesn't want it? It's always sold out, and most people can't even get it if they want it. Isn't this reward enough?"
For some reason, Rin always felt that when the other party said the last word in a row with an excited expression, the low, old and hoarse emphasis seemed to change, and there was always a feeling that it was deliberate.
Suspicion quietly hid in his heart, Lin scratched his head: "It's okay, it's good, then let's set off quickly, and I can rest if I arrive at the destination earlier."
The old woman extinguished the torch in her hand, walked unsteadily to the carriage, and stepped on it holding the frame. Lin had been paying attention to her and keenly noticed that when her wide sleeves fell, a piece of her snow-white arm was exposed.
It seems that this so-called old woman is probably just a young girl, who disguised herself as an old woman out of vigilance or for ulterior motives. Unfortunately, the cloak on her body and the hood on her head completely conceal her appearance.
He got into the carriage as if nothing had happened. This was his first time driving a horse-drawn carriage. Fortunately, the horse was very obedient. After just a whip, it automatically moved forward along the road.
The frame was slightly bumpy. Lin moved his butt to a more comfortable sitting position and asked curiously, "Old man, how far are we from our destination?"
"Well... our destination is the Kingdom of Dia, but if it's inconvenient for you, you can just take me to the next town, which is about four or five hours away."
Knowing the distance roughly, Lin stopped asking questions. After driving for a while, he felt quite bored, so he took out the book that had just been given to him and began to appreciate it carefully under the swaying light.
Well, this book is basically about a descendant with dragon blood, who stimulates the dragon's innate bloodline when he grows up. Coupled with the fact that dragons are inherently lustful, he goes on to conquer the world with lots of sex.
The author has a sophisticated literary style. When describing certain events, he not only has delicate emotions, but also many scenes. The words he uses are not as explicit as those in ordinary erotic novels. Instead, there is a kind of hazy feeling of half-covering the face of the lute. When you feel that something is not going well, a large number of high-C plots will suddenly burst out, making people feel extremely refreshed.
“How do you feel about writing?”
An old voice sounded behind him. Lin closed the book and commented seriously: "The description is delicate and the writing is sophisticated. The only shortcoming is..."
"Just what?"
Hearing the other party's anxious questioning, a look of understanding flashed across his eyes, and he had already vaguely guessed who this "old man" was.
"There are too many descriptions of the actions and environment, and the feelings of both parties are almost glossed over. This is what I have discovered after reading ten chapters so far... How should I put it? It makes people feel like they are just observing rather than putting themselves in the shoes of the male and female protagonists."
"It turns out...that's it."
The other party was silent for a while, then slowly said: "...I will convey it to the author. Thank you for your suggestion. By the way, what do you think if words like XX are changed to OO?"
"Good idea, but I think sometimes it's good to change it to GG."
"Hey? Young people are very knowledgeable."
"No, no, I was just taught by a friend."
The "old man" in the carriage moved forward and sat closer to him: "I wonder if you have read Snow's other book, The Duchess's Secrets?"
"Um... You know I'm an adventurer from another world. I've only been in this world for a short time. Besides, the Lily King City has banned all of Snow's works, so I've only read the one you gave me... But, when I heard the name you mentioned, it sounded a bit forgiving, so I'm not very interested."
"...Banned? She actually did such a thing!"
Like someone whose bones had been robbed (sorry, I just wanted to blacken you, Kasumi), she couldn't suppress her tone, with the crispness unique to young girls, and then she coughed a few times and continued in a hoarse and low voice: "What do you mean by the color of forgiveness?"
Lin smiled mysteriously, imparting the profound culture to this "friend" he met by chance in another world, and then added seriously: "I hate NTR works the most. If the protagonist is NTR, others can accept it, but if it is NTR, I will immediately abandon the book."
"I see... But this kind of book is still very popular among the nobles."
"How else can you say your circle is so chaotic?"
The two people seemed like good friends who had known each other for many years, sitting together and chatting, walking forward on the night road. The light elongated Lin's figure, and along with the shadow of the horse's butt, it was imprinted on the ground, leaving some traces in this world.
……
In a daze, the carriage bumped and Lin's sleepiness temporarily faded. When he met the "old man" behind him, it was still an hour or two before dawn, but now it was bright. The moist air with a slightly cool breath, and the flowers and plants freshly covered with morning dew made the world full of vitality and reality.
At this point they had already passed the novice area, and the level of the monsters they encountered was around level 15. Fortunately, they did not actively attack during the day.
The people in the carriage were already fast asleep. Lin rubbed his sleepy eyes and looked far away. Suddenly, the carriage had reached the top of the hill. Following the winding downhill road ahead, he could already see a city located by the river in the distance. Its central building was clearly visible even from a long distance. It was a huge broccoli, green and delicious.
"That's Blueberry City, the closest city to the capital."
An old voice came from behind, indicating that a girl disguised as an old woman had woken up. She deliberately lowered her hood and said slowly, "Just take me there."
Even in the daytime, even at a distance of less than half a meter, Lin could only see a shadow under her hood, and could not see the outline of her face at all. This made him suspect that the hood had been cast under a spell.
A quarter of an hour later, the carriage stopped at the city gate. Lin then noticed that another player had arrived at the city gate one step ahead of him and was talking to the guard at the city gate.
This player had a slender figure, with long black hair. His face could not be seen, but his voice sounded mature and calm. He was probably no older than 18. After receiving the mission from the guard, he turned around and left without stopping for a moment.
Listening to their conversation, it seems that the city lord has issued a mission, and only by completing the mission can one enter the Blueberry City.
"It's okay. The city lord and I are old acquaintances. With his token, I can take you in."
So the two men got off the carriage and walked towards the guard.
Chapter 45 I Give You This Hat
Lin looked at the Lord Mayor of Blue Flower City with dead fish eyes. Every time he saw him patting his bulging belly like an angry pufferfish, the huge amplitude of the tremor always made him worry that the viscount's luxurious clothes would burst directly.
This viscount has very unique taste and wears colorful and luxurious robes. It is worth mentioning that the colors of each grid on his luxurious robe are colorful and the requirements are extremely high. Red cannot be next to red, and green cannot be next to green. In addition, with the glittering sequins, it looks like a colorful lantern hanging in the center of the ballroom.
He wore a broccoli family emblem on his chest, and a gem-inlaid broccoli headdress on the side of his round head. The green color was very eye-catching, but this attention could not compare to his 300-kilogram body, his "seductive" smoky makeup, and his orchid fingers that subconsciously pulled his moustache.
What's the story behind this giant poisonous mushroom? Does the fairy tale world have to have such strange people as a foil?
In order to prevent herself from being frightened, Lin lowered her head and looked at her adventurer's boots. Well, they were made of calfskin, comfortable to wear, and the style was novel and fashionable. She could give some advice to her elder sister after returning to her own world.
"You... are you?"
Broccoli looked at the cloaked woman in front of her, who was holding the token of their Broccoli tribe - a Broccoli badge in her hand, but she couldn't recognize who she was just by looking at her figure.
"It's me, Uncle Broccoli."
She no longer pretended to be an older person, and instead revealed her original young girl's ethereal voice, while taking out a silver-white lily brooch.
"...!"
The moment Viscount Broccoli saw the brooch, he instantly understood who the visitor was. He quickly asked all the servants around him to retreat, and his powdered face was filled with anxiety.
"Oh my God, my princess, don't you know that your mother is looking for you everywhere?"
So she took off her hood and finally revealed her true face.
The fairy tale describes Snow White... ahem, Princess Snow White as follows: her skin is as white as snow, her lips are as red as blood, and her hair is as black as ebony.
Lin roughly imagined it in his mind, oh, isn't that the feminine version of Jeff the Killer in the American urban legend?
It's always the absolutely scary ghost type, and even though I understand that this is a common modifier, it still feels horrifying every time I think about it.
The princess in front of him had medium-length black hair that was a little greasy because he hadn't washed it for three or four days. Her skin was indeed fair, but still not as fair as snow, and she had some freckles that were unique to European girls of fifteen or sixteen. She looked very sweet and lovely, but her lips seemed pale due to her anxiety.
No, no, the most important thing now is not Princess Snow White's appearance, but the fact that she has revealed her identity so blatantly in front of him. She doesn't want to kill her to silence her, right?
"Oh, my mother is so abominable. Not only does she not allow me to update my books, she also banned all the works I worked so hard on..."
As she spoke, Princess Snow White's eyes turned red. "I can't stay in the palace anymore. I have to run away from home. I think only Uncle Broccoli is willing to help me!"
"..." Viscount Broccoli sighed, "Now that the king has passed away, everyone in the country has to obey the queen. Even I can't protect you for long."
"It doesn't matter, as long as it gives me some rest. My mind is in a mess right now because of all these messes and the readers' urging for updates. I'm so stuck in the rut that I've decided to travel around the mainland to look for inspiration."
"Oh, speaking of this..." His expression became excited, the powder on his face fell down because of trembling, his eyes bulged out scary, and the robe wrapped around his body made a creaking sound under the weight, making people worry that it would be torn apart in the next second.
"Princess, when will you update? I have been waiting for the next chapter of "The Legend of Bai Jie" for half a month!"
Well, here comes another one urging for more updates. Lin moved his feet and inched slightly towards the door.
"Ahem... I'll definitely update in these two days. Really, at least give me time to contact the editor. Oh, by the way, let me introduce you to someone who saved my life on the road. This is an adventurer from another world, Jingu Rin."
The topic was successfully changed. Viscount Broccoli looked at Lin. When he stared at him until his hair started to growl, he nodded and said, "Speaking of which, as the first adventurer to enter Broccoli City, I, as the lord, have specially prepared a gift for you."
Wow! So there is such a benefit!
Seeing the other party calling the butler to give orders, Lin felt a little excited and expectant. Princess Snow White walked towards him happily and said with a smile: "How about escorting me to the Kingdom of Dia? There are many benefits, right?"
"Well, I do think about it. After all, this is the main storyline... After all, escorting the princess is something worth boasting about. But I'm only level 5 now. Aren't you worried?"
"Hey, don't think I didn't see it. There was no monster that could have touched you along the way. You must have been blessed by the goddess of luck. If you are really worried, you can find a few trustworthy adventurers. Don't worry, the reward will definitely exceed your imagination."
Lin lowered his head and thought. The important issue now was not that Princess Snow White was aware of her great luck, but the plot. It was obvious that either Princess Snow White was captured and brought back to the royal city to be handed over to the queen, in which case he would definitely get a generous reward. But if he thought about it carefully, the plot ended directly without the appearance of the seven dwarfs and the necrophiliac prince. This did not conform to the basic principles of a game.
It is obvious then that only by following Princess Snow White can the next task be triggered.
He did consider whether or not to reveal the information to other players, but the idea was dismissed as soon as it came to mind. After all, human nature is complex and unpredictable, and it is better not to tell it to others unless it is necessary, so as to avoid ruining the plot and causing the strategy to fail.
"I understand." After thinking it over, Lin said righteously with a firm face, "Since Your Highness trusts me, even if it is for this trust, I will definitely protect Your Highness's safety, and I will not betray you!"
“The most important thing is that we can exchange our writing experiences…”
However, her next words revealed her true purpose, but fortunately, Rin didn't mind at all.
While they were issuing and accepting tasks, the attendant brought a box to Viscount Broccoli. The Viscount was full of pride, and with a unique NPC accent, he opened the box and said, "As the first adventurer to come to our Broccoli City, I have decided to give you this special Broccoli Hat. With it, you can enter and leave the Royal City as you please, be pardoned three times, get a 40% discount on goods in all stores, and get rescue and help from the guards in critical moments."
It sounds good, and it looks... well, this broccoli hat is also very nice. It is made of cashmere and is beautifully crafted. It is dyed green and has a broccoli logo inlaid with small gemstones... It looks pretty, but...
"My Lord Viscount, please allow me to refuse..."
Chapter 46: What’s wrong with men being BT!
"Isn't this hat pretty? Is it useless?"
Looking at the Viscount's extremely disappointed eyes that were so disappointing that he doubted his aesthetics and life, Lin felt it necessary to save this kind-hearted but fragile Viscount.
"In terms of appearance, it is definitely exquisitely crafted and rare in the world. Ahem, that green is also quite environmentally friendly and refreshing. It's just..." Lin's expression was serious and righteous. "I found out at the city gate with the princess before that adventurers must complete a mission before they can enter Broccoli City. How can someone like me who followed the princess in by taking shortcuts be worthy of it! No... Lord Viscount, you don't have to say anything. My dignity does not allow me to accept it."
After much persuasion, Viscount Broccoli gave up on giving the hat to Rin and decided to give it to the next adventurer.
After observing a three-second silence for the black-haired girl who was on a mission when they met at the door, Rin and Princess Snow White were arranged to stay in two adjacent rooms in the castle.
After snoring for four or five hours, Rin had already missed lunch time. He originally wanted to look for Princess Snow White to see if there was any mission he could take, but after learning that Princess Snow White had locked him up in a small dark room to write, he had to walk out of the small castle alone and came to the streets of Blueberry City.
As a game expert, the first thing to do is of course to go to the guild to understand the situation and calculate the approximate value of the perfect-level materials in your hand.
About half an hour later, Lin's eyes were full of excitement and joy. Even his usually expressionless face couldn't control his muscles and smiled like a dog's tail flower.
Unexpectedly, the money came so quickly, and in an instant the pot was full of gold and silver, which was more profitable than robbery.
After taking a stroll down the street, updating his equipment and having a hearty meal, Lin returned to the Viscount's castle in high spirits and full of energy.
As soon as he passed the guard and arrived at the main hall, he saw a familiar girl staring at the hat in the box for a long time without saying a word. He was so embarrassed that he didn't know what to do. When Lin passed by, he glanced at the black-haired woman he met at the door.
Well, judging from her profile, she seems to be a stunningly beautiful girl, and her actual age seems to be a few years younger than her voice suggests. There is nothing else worth noting.
Returning to the room, Rin took out the novel she bought from the bookstore and lay on the bed to appreciate it carefully. Princess Snow White slept until dinner time and then floated past Rin's room.
After dinner, Lin continued to read novels. After spending a whole day as a bookworm in the other world, he fell asleep in a daze, and was finally awakened by the sound of a door closing. He opened the game menu and checked the time. It was already past 12 o'clock in the evening.
Hearing faintly a suppressed and tiny voice in her ears, Rin curiously opened the door and saw the Snow White Princess walking on tiptoe in the corridor. When she heard a voice behind her, she froze with fright. She turned around and found it was Rin. She heaved a sigh of relief and put her finger in front of her mouth to make a whispering gesture.
"What are you...doing?"
Lin asked in a low voice, and saw the other party laughing excitedly. He walked over to him and answered in a low voice: "Did you hear this moaning sound? Based on my years of peeping... ahem, years of experience, this must be the sound of pa pa pa. Let's go find some material."
