[#277 Orc Scientist Replies to Late Night Snack: It's a Bit Deliberate]
[#277 Shadow Steps onto Princess Liang's Reply: I didn't believe it at first, but this time it seems real.]
[#277 Add me to reply with beautiful pictures of a saint: Holy crap, the male version is even better!]
Hello! ! !
Ella's brain was trembling.
[#277 Xia Lian replies to Ye Xiao: Hehe, then let's add each other as friends, I won't say anything]
Hey, you big dummy! Doesn't your explanation sound even more problematic to others?!
Even if I change my story later, I still won't be able to clear my name!
Ella really couldn't hold back anymore.
"Xia Lian" has requested to add you as a friend.
what……
Should we just add this guy to the list, at least to stop her from talking nonsense?
Ella felt incredibly conflicted, with a persistent feeling that she had fallen into a trap.
You have accepted Xia Lian's friend request.
[Xia Lian: Oh my gosh, my little cutie, you finally added me!!!]
[Late Night Snack: I threw up, you've really mistaken me for someone else, bro. I'm just a burly guy, don't mess with me.]
To deceive the other party, Ella even added the word "brother".
[Xia Lian: Really? Then turn off the hiding of Arena achievements. Who in their right mind would hide that?]
Oh no, that's a game-winning shot.
Ella was in a real bind.
[Late Night Snack: I'm just a side dish, not ranked, and not hidden.]
Xia Lian: Oh?
While I was sending private messages, a flurry of friend requests kept popping up in the notification bar.
[“Look at this beautiful girl who looks like a saint” requests to add you as a friend]
[A user named "Lonely and Desolate" has requested to add you as a friend.]
The "Longest Dwarf" has requested to add you as a friend.
【…】
Ella clutched her forehead in anguish.
[Allowing strangers to add you as a friend has been disabled]
[Late Night Snack: Seriously, don't mess around, I've got a bunch of random friend requests.]
Xia Lian: Okay, sorry, then I might have mistaken you for someone else. I'll go and clarify things for you.
Wow, you're suddenly being so easy to talk to again?
Ella was overjoyed.
[Xia Lian: But you can't delete me, okay, cutie!]
[Late-night snack: I already said it wasn't me!!!]
Poor Ella clutched the blanket with her little hands, covering her head with tears welling up in her eyes.
Chapter Nine firmly holds the top spot
After lying under the covers for a while, Ella calmed down a little.
No, this guy doesn't actually have any evidence at all, so why should he worry about being exposed?
The poster at least provided a picture, but she only said a few words from the other side. What concrete evidence can she possibly provide?
Seeing Xia Lian's message again, she pursed her lips, ignored it, and deleted the guy directly.
Putting everything else aside, no one has ever seen a player who "looks very much like the Holy Maiden of Light".
There is no guild associated with this player, and no one has encountered them in any quests or ruins.
This makes it impossible to verify the claim, and it can only circulate on player forums like an urban legend.
As for the name "Midnight Snack," it doesn't matter to those who don't know her, but those who know her and have added her as a friend have seen Ye Xiao herself in real life, so they are even less likely to take this seriously.
What's really troublesome is the image at the very beginning of that post.
It doesn't matter if the image captured by this crystal is used as the top spot on the arena leaderboard, but the real problem is if someone with ulterior motives associates it with the Saintess, which could cause more trouble.
But Ella couldn't stop people from taking pictures; after all, even UFOs can't do that, so she could only take it one step at a time.
Then, she stretched angrily and entered the arena.
With the season nearing its end and her having not logged in to climb the ranks for quite some time, several players ranked below her are starting to catch up.
We can't let her forgo the system rewards just because of a few rumors.
As the matchmaking countdown ended, a blue light covered the field of vision, revealing a desolate desert.
The scorching wind, carrying yellow sand, lashed against the half-buried cliff face. The azure sky was cloudless, with only the dazzling sunlight hanging above it.
Is this a real, independent space, or a simulated illusion?
After learning that her third body was actually outside the real world, Ella suddenly felt somewhat puzzled by the scene before her.
"Holy crap, bro! This is in the bag!" An excited shout came from beside her. Ella turned her head and saw a burly man with a thick beard, shorter than herself, standing next to her with an iron hammer.
Wearing black gloves, Ella used her slender index finger to draw several fluorescent letters in the air: "Are you a dwarf?"
To prepare for this, Ella had already stopped speaking in the arena.
However, players who have been her teammates are already used to it, since there's no need for much communication or cooperation anyway.
“Brother, you’re joking. There are no dwarves on Earth.” The bearded man looked distressed. “I’m just not tall.”
"What's wrong with you two? Can you..." As he spoke, another teammate came over.
He had intended to remind the two of them not to stand stupidly in the center of the open space like targets, but after seeing the short man wearing a fox mask, he immediately changed his mind and said, "...Could you two stand still for a moment? I'll give you both a buff."
Ella glanced at her teammate who was chanting a spell and noticed that a translucent golden shield was gradually enveloping her body.
He's actually a mage from the defensive school. I wish I could recruit one for those brutes in the Seven Luminaries Society.
Just then, a flying arrow suddenly pierced the air and headed straight for the monk who was chanting incantations.
Just as the defensive mage thought, standing in the open and dazed was tantamount to becoming a target for someone else to launch a sneak attack.
But this was Ella after all; the moment she caught a glimpse of the sharp blade darting out from the side, her right hand was already raised in an instant.
The mage was startled by Ella's sudden movement. He turned his head and saw that she was holding a flying arrow with a cold glint in its eye.
The arrow was only ten centimeters away from his temple.
Ella immediately broke off two fingers, snapped the arrow shaft, and swung it violently. The arrowhead pierced straight into a nearby sand dune, instantly piercing the skull of a ranger who was in stealth mode, causing him to fall to the ground.
The short, burly man next to him stared wide-eyed at the sight—what was this?!
The other two warrior players, who were hiding behind the sand dunes, saw that their ranged ambush had failed, so they also gritted their teeth and rushed out.
From that resolute expression, one could roughly discern the awareness of wanting to be reborn as soon as possible.
However, one of the Ellas looked surprisingly familiar; she was none other than Oz, the leader of the player's rebellion in the previous life.
Ella still vividly remembered the scene of that guy leading a group of Saint-level warriors in a charge against the Saintess of the End.
Unfortunately, he still looks like a naive and immature young man.
She drew her staff from her back, her petite figure flashing as she swiftly closed the distance, the heavy staff tip striking a person's head and sending them to their death.
With a large amount of general points being invested in all sorts of random skills, Ella is now starting to look like a non-normal person based solely on her physical attributes.
The burly man with the thick beard swallowed hard; he had never seen such a shocking scene before, where a person's head was smashed like a watermelon.
Although he had heard the legend of this black-clad fox-headed man back in the Hero rank while working hard to climb the ranks, seeing him in person now, he realized that the rumors about his combat strength were somewhat conservative.
The defensive mage next to him seemed used to it, and even chatted jokingly with his brother: "Our big brother seems a bit ruthless today. Don't queue up in a row when we go out later, or it won't be fun if we accidentally end up on the other side."
The arena was filled with despair throughout the night.
Perhaps because she harbored some resentment, or perhaps because there was no need to hold back in the arena, Ella was far more brutal in her attacks on the group of players than she would in real life.
As for the idea of a small number of players teaming up to lift Ella's hood—opponents would be instantly killed upon meeting her, and teammates, seeing the bloodied mage staff, ultimately didn't dare to try such a thing.
In the arena, killing people is as easy as killing chickens for the big brother. But if he were to provoke him, he would get a beating in real life, which wouldn't be fun. After all, he's number one in combat power, not number one in singing.
Therefore, after just one night, the top-ranked arena score, which had remained stagnant for a long time, immediately surged back up.
……
The next day.
North city area.
When Ye Xiao woke up from her sleep, she opened her eyes and saw a large, furry face.
"Fuck!"
He sat up abruptly, and then suddenly remembered that the kitten seemed to have slept with him last night, and his trembling heart gradually calmed down.
"What's all the yelling about? You startled me first thing in the morning," Greta yawned.
"Mine... I think it's because I had a nightmare. I dreamt that a monster was opening its big mouth and gnawing at my head... Hey, why are you hitting me!" Ye Xiao dodged the cat that was waving its paws and cursing, took the coat off the clothes rack, and put it on.
After today, they would have to set off back to the capital. Ye Xiao packed a few things, took Greta with him, knocked on the door next door to call Lucyville, and went downstairs.
The small lobby on the first floor of the hotel was much brighter during the day, and the flowers placed everywhere looked even more vibrant.
Good morning, young man.
"Good morning, ma'am." Ye Xiao returned the two keys to the table, and out of the corner of her eye, she suddenly caught sight of a portrait on the cabinet behind the front desk.
The lighting was rather dim last night, so I didn't pay much attention, but now that I see it again, I find the portrait somewhat familiar.
The portrait depicts a colorful human face, with various blocks of red, orange, yellow, and green pieced together like fragments, exhibiting a postmodern abstract style.
But this is a conservative other world, which makes the artistic feel of this painting seem extremely out of place, especially since it appears in a not-so-wealthy area like the harbor district.
Chapter Ten: Strange Tales from a Previous Life
"Is this your work?" Ye Xiao asked casually. "It's quite avant-garde."
"Hahaha, how could an old woman like me draw these?" the proprietress laughed. "These were drawn by my son, and he also designed the interior decoration of the shop."
"Wow, your son is an artist, isn't he?" Ye Xiao couldn't help but exclaim.
He wasn't just bragging; after all, a design that even the cat demon god on his shoulder praised must have some merit.
“No, no, he just drew it casually.” The proprietress carefully stroked the frame, as if she were stroking her son’s face. “He is just a doctor by profession, and he should be in Vallond right now.”
"A physician from the capital? That's quite impressive," Ye Xiao smiled. "Your son must be your pride."
“Thank you for your compliment, young man. I remember last time he told me he worked at... well, at Samuel’s Clinic.” The landlady smiled kindly. “I think it was this place, oh dear, I can’t quite remember… I’d rather he came back to work; it’s like this, I only see him a few times a year.”
Samuel's Clinic... I don't really remember it.
Ye Xiao wasn't very familiar with the imperial city, but as Ella, and given his experiences in his previous life, he could naturally recognize most of the major buildings.
This clinic might be located in a rather remote area, or perhaps the owner simply misremembered the name.
However, since he is a physician in the imperial city, his knowledge of the events of his previous life should be somewhat different.
Back then, they were still developing in Stormport, and Ye Xiao was a veteran player on the forum, so he paid a lot of attention to major events in Loren.
At that time, the king of Loren died, leaving the kingdom leaderless. A group of princes and princesses were vying for the throne, and the capital was in turmoil and on the verge of collapse.
This is also the first major event that players will truly participate in. At that time, all players in Loren will be forced to participate in the "Five Princes' Struggle for the Throne" mission and choose a successor to the throne as the one they will help.
But to be honest, after seeing the true colors of those guys in this life, Ye Xiao didn't want to help any of them.
He still remembered that in his previous life he randomly chose the eldest prince, Evans, but in the end the second prince became emperor. As a punishment, the system gave him an extremely disgusting debuff that halved the amount of universal points he could obtain within the territory of Loren for three months.
