From star abyss

White Candle Star, underground lair.

After three months of cleaning, all the monsters here have been killed. There are 25 alpha-level players per capita, and they can deal with these weak monsters with low ecological niches with ease.

Several captains of the big guilds stayed behind, thinking about how to transform the goblin lair.

The system prompts that this place can be transformed into a dungeon by the lord, but that will reduce the livability of Xinshou Village. Considering that the pastoral farm in Xinshou Village cannot even be called a humble house, a few people feel that it is necessary to think about it carefully. Make your decision again.

"This has nothing to do with us, let's go, let's go." Cumin powder grabbed the caramel snail and walked back.

The caramel snail's head was directly put into the other person's arms. The soft and warm touch and the smell produced after strenuous exercise made him forget that this was a game for a moment:

"...You are a girl after all, you can't always be like this, right? You have to be careful no matter how much you do."

"Oh, why does Xiao Niuniu look like a girl?" Cumin Fen pouted: "Isn't it just a hug? Be careful of being regarded as a dead nerd without a girlfriend."

"But that's me...I don't have a girlfriend, so I stay at home and play games every day." Caramel Snail muttered.

"Ah, I didn't expect it to hit me. I'm sorry." Cumin powder patted the latter's shoulder.

"You two have a good relationship," Garyton put away the picnic tools and joked: "It really doesn't work out. I think you two are a good match. What do you call this? A herbivorous man and a carnivorous woman?"

"Haha? How many years ago was your version? It has been out of fashion for a long time." Cumin powder curled his lips: "Besides, we Mavericks are also in the ranks of high-level players now - why don't we start a live broadcast? I'm sure There is a little sister who likes you. When the time comes, just find a fan to get out of singles, isn’t that the end of the world?”

"Let me go..." Caramel Snail sighed. "I'm the ultimate sociopath and will definitely die if I communicate with so many people in the live broadcast room."

"What are you doing? I'm making money and having sex with girls, but I'm still not satisfied." Cumin Fen spread his hands.

"I don't have many friends in real life. After living for almost twenty years, I only have less than three people of the opposite sex with whom I can talk."

The caramel snail muttered:

"It's you who makes me more relaxed."

"Oh?" Cumin Fen crossed his arms and said dissatisfiedly: "Then you mean to treat me as a pure man."

"No." Caramel Snail said casually: "You are different from other girls, or rather - Miss Cumin Pink, you are very special."

"I'm special?"

"She speaks straightforwardly, doesn't hide anything in her heart, and is clear about love and hate. No one would hate a girl like this."

"……how about you?"

"me too."

Cumin Pink's eyes flickered and she turned her head sideways. She put her hands on the back of her head and said casually:

"...It doesn't matter what I say, I will say it bluntly."

"Huh?" Caramel Snail was confused.

"Someone is a piece of wood, but I won't say who it is." Garridon gnawed on his fried French fries and quietly took a few steps back, away from the two people who exuded an unpleasant atmosphere.

——All of this, what and what?

Caramel Snail touched his head.

On one side was a female friend who turned her head sideways and suddenly pretended to be mysterious.

On one side was the cheating cook who began to look at him with a look of hatred.

What's the situation now? What happened?

Fortunately, his doubts did not last long. Caramel Snail looked forward: a gray-haired woman carrying a basket was slowly walking out of the forest. She was the camp's guide NPC, 'Weaver' Yawen.

"Well, it's time to settle the previous tasks."

Caramel Snail walked directly towards Yawen without thinking.

"Hey, I'm eating a melon!" Garyton wailed and stamped his feet: "Caramel snail! I hate you like a piece of wood!"

"Pfft."

The cumin powder next to him chuckled, then shrugged, said nothing, and followed directly as if it had nothing to do with him.

She walked forward and saw Caramel Snail taking out some collected materials from his backpack:

"Hello, Yawen, I want to submit a task——"

"I'm not in the mood."

Before he finished speaking, Yawen interrupted coldly:

"Put it in my room yourself."

"Tsk..."

Caramel Snail's eyes twitched. The cumin powder on the side stepped forward, took out a small bag, and handed it to Yawen:

"Zhi Niang~ I would like to submit the previous task."

The caramel snail hurriedly reached Cumin Powder’s ear: ‘It’s useless, this female NPC is not in the mood right now——’

"OK."

Yawen raised her head and showed a gentle smile:

"These flowers are exactly the dye I need. You also packed them in a package. You did a good job."

"Ah? No, you gave that bag to me at that time..."

"Really? Then thank you for returning the property to its original owner." Yawen said, took out her wallet from her arms, took out a few large-denomination Dina cards, and put them into Cumin Fen's hand: "These are rewards, not enough money." Come to me anytime."

Cumin powder turned his head and looked at the caramel snail strangely:

"Xiao Niuniu, what should I do? The favorability level between Yawen and I has risen to 520 (respect)..."

Caramel Snail finally couldn't help it anymore. He looked at Yawen, but due to social fear, he still chose to silently activate the disguise mode and recruit the personality of the character 'Saga Kei' online.

"call……"

After thinking about it for a while, he immediately said angrily: "Miss Yawen, what you did is really a bit too much, isn't it?"

"Is there any?" Yawen didn't even bother to look at the caramel snails, and still looked at the cumin powder.

"Isn't this obvious? They are all here to submit the task, why is it only given to her and not to me? We all come from the Blue Star, right? We don't have to be discriminated against when we go to an alien planet, right?"

Regarding the question about caramel snails, Yawen did not reply at all.

"Speaking of which, why is Miss Yawen so nice to me?" Cumin Fen also asked curiously.

"Ah, speaking of it, you may not believe it." Yawen blushed slightly. She stared at her cumin-pink cheeks and said softly: "I once had a sister named Dai Sijia. You and her face look very similar... ...The first time I saw you, I thought: If Scarlett grows up, this will be what she looks like, right?"

After she finished speaking, she was silent for a while. Then he shook his head and said apologetically:

"I'm sorry, this statement is too strange, isn't it? Please don't pay attention to this. Your name is..."

"Asakusa Yako," Cumin powder said, "You can also call me Cumin."

"Cumin..." Yawen said dumbly, "You descendants really like to eat it."

[Increase in favorability]

With such a high favorability level, maybe you can unlock missions?

"Oh yes, speaking of which, we found an abandoned laboratory in the Goblin Cave before." Cumin Powder suddenly remembered something and asked Caramel Snail to take out the previous discovery in a private chat.

"Laboratory?" Yawen was confused.

"Inside, we found this thing." Caramel Snail handed the "Dragon Death Weapon Design Manuscript" to the other party.

As soon as Yawen took it, she heard the cumin powder say:

"The owner of the laboratory is a [doctor] from the [hidden society], and this manuscript seems to be a tool he uses to fight against some kind of enemy."

"--secret?!"

Yawen stayed where she was, as if she had been struck by lightning, her pupils contracting violently.

How could it be a secret...

The words of [Danger-seeking Saint] Verlia echoed in my ears again.

"This planet has already been infiltrated by [society] citizens. Narrative-level civilization is also constantly paying attention to the situation here. Sooner or later, you will be discovered."

"When discovered by the people of Gaia, they will merge your will into the ether. In that environment, you will be unable to resist at all and will immediately succumb to [society]."

No.

After hiding for so long, it took a lot of effort to stay here with Mr. Li Ozi. After being at ease for so long, and yet not being together in a real sense...are we about to be found?

Can’t I escape from the clutches of the hidden society?

"don't want……"

Arwen whispered.

"That is to say, we guess that this [Doctor] should have betrayed the [Secret Society]. In the research he conducted, there was a little girl named Di Yalan, who seemed to be a weapon specially used to deal with the [Secret Society]... …”

"weapon?"

Yawen raised her head, looked at the two of them with cobweb eyes, and said in an excited tone:

"You said there are special weapons for dealing with hidden objects?"

The two looked at each other.

"Uh, that should be it, right?"

"Zhi Niang, you can take a look at the contents of the design draft..."

Yawen couldn't calm down her mood, so she opened the design draft in her hand. The more she read, the more excited she became, and her heart was beating wildly.

"Ha ha ha ha ha……"

Feng'er lifted her hood, and the two players saw Zhi Niang's true appearance for the first time:

The corners of her mouth were cracked, six additional compound eyes appeared on her forehead, frightening corrosive mucus was secreted between her teeth, and the skin all over her body showed a broken feeling like water ripples.

"Mr. Li Ozi..."

Yawen held the manuscript tightly, her eyes full of madness, and her voice was like an echo in the valley, uttering a clear and mysterious whisper:

"I see hope."

……………………

The manuscript pages turned with the wind, and the sunlight focused on a line of text:

"...Although it cannot be said to have a 100% success rate, Di Yalan's current strength can completely absorb 70% of the target's etheric blood. For the citizens of [Hidden Society], As long as it is absorbed by Dialan twice, it will completely degenerate into a mortal."

"I thought this was a great victory, but the situation is not optimistic. A large number of experimental individuals, not long after losing their etheric blood, their bodies became transparent and disappeared completely."

"At that time, I realized that once I enter society, everything that belongs to an individual has disappeared long ago, but I am still willing to believe in Di Yalan. After all, she is only 14 years old now."

"Given time, she will definitely become the savior of the Star Abyss and become a person like Leoz, a Dialan (Falisian: agent)."
