Chapter 363
Yu Xunge said, “Um... it’s just that...”
Li Zhou wasn’t an idiot. From the desperate expressions and cryptic exchanges between one person and one dragon, she pieced together the truth.
She exclaimed, “You two didn’t pull out the antenna of Y125, did you?”
Yu Xunge was already too tired to speak.
Li Zhou had a point she agreed with—“It’s entirely Y125’s own bad luck.”
Yu Xunge didn’t want to dwell on this sad topic any longer. She asked, “Is there anything I need to be aware of when dealing with the Contracted Mechanical Clan?”
Li Zhou replied seriously, “You need to be careful not to harm your previous pet.”
Yu Xunge: “……” Can you just stop already!!!
In her heart, she quietly asked Tu Lan, “She didn’t act like this in front of the Holy Grail, did she?”
Tu Lan replied, “Not at all. In front of the Holy Grail, she cursed Song Gui fiercely.”
Yu Xunge was at a loss. Wasn’t it said that she would sell everything to cure Li Zhou? Why did it seem like the treatment hadn’t even begun?
She took a deep breath, smiled, and continued, “What else should I know?”
Li Zhou said, “What else? I’m not too sure. I left the day after she contracted with that Mechanical Clan.
“But… there’s one thing you should probably pay attention to.
“It’s a place that values fun and fairness.
“So… after contracting with the Mechanical Clan, the difficulty of your game will increase.
“You’ll often encounter misfortunes, and luck will no longer favor you.”
**Chapter 472: Song Gui—[Die-Hard Fan]**
—“Are the side effects really that severe?”
—“Song Gui is pretty unlucky, anyway.”
Li Zhou’s warning made Yu Xunge frown.
According to Li Zhou, B8017913 was even more formidable than the Mechanical Clan that Song Gui brought out—of course, it was also possible that each Mechanical Clan had its own strengths.
If Song Gui was so unlucky that even Li Zhou began to lament, then the impact of B8017913 would likely be significant as well.
This gave her another glimpse into a corner of the game.
The strongest enemy she had encountered was Donghai Shark Leng, but from her perspective, Donghai Shark Leng had many opportunities to kill her.
After she stole Donghai Shark Leng’s divine talent, did he not have a time skill?
Or did he have one, but just happened to be unlucky, and his time skill was on cooldown at that moment?
When they met at the Diamond Miner, although they were in a safe zone where attacks were prohibited, could Donghai Shark Leng really endure the presence of someone who had stolen his divine talent until she left the safe zone?
Even if he could hold back at that moment, could someone of his caliber really do nothing to her?
Recalling a few instances in the game, in the small painter’s house, after she translated the rules for those players, the strong ones had already left, and the only one left waiting to kill her was just a Tier 2 combatant.
In the Kart Racing game, during several battle zone matches, the players who attacked her, even if they were stronger, weren’t overwhelmingly so. Players of the same tier as Feng Tang Wu Ren had never targeted her.
Not only did they not attack her, but they also didn’t attack other low-tier players. Instead, they were seriously playing the game, and the players that Mai Mang Xie Xie killed were all of similar strength.
Did these strong players look down on the rewards for killing low-tier players?
Or was it that… not only would there be no rewards, but there would also be penalties?
In situations where the power gap was too great, the gods must have many restrictions she was currently unaware of to prevent the game from being monopolized by these strong players. It was probably more complicated than just an increase in the number of game rules.
Otherwise, after each battle zone game started, the strongest would team up to clear the field, leaving low-tier players with no chance to play.
Fairness and fun…
When she first entered the world battlefield, Yu Xunge was grateful for this rule.
But once her cheat was activated, she began to find that term annoying.
Tu Lan suddenly stood up, looking serious. “Wait! Hold on! I have a question!”
Yu Xunge and Li Zhou turned to look at Tu Lan, surprised by the little dragon’s rare solemnity.
Li Zhou took on a senior’s demeanor and gently said, “What’s your question? Go ahead.”
Since Li Zhou was genuinely encouraging her to speak, Tu Lan asked, “Didn’t you say you were leaving the next day? How do you know so much? Are you still keeping an eye on her?”
Li Zhou: “……”
Yu Xunge suddenly looked into the distance.
The next second, she caught a glimpse of Li Zhou lifting her tail and sending Tu Lan flying, soaring high and far, like a golf ball.
Once Tu Lan was out of sight, Yu Xunge casually turned back and continued, “So, can the pet contract I bought from Ze Lan bind the Mechanical Clan?”
Li Zhou replied, “Pet contract? You can ask the Holy Grail. She’s a Star Observer, and contracts are related to souls; she’s the expert in that area.”
After getting the answer she wanted, Yu Xunge asked a few more questions related to the world battlefield, and Li Zhou answered without holding back.
However, every game Li Zhou mentioned was unfamiliar to Yu Xunge.
It turned out that the safe zone could not only switch to a special trading area but could also transform into an arena…
Some games would even suddenly force players to team up for battle.
There seemed to be no discernible pattern; the games didn’t appear to have much connection to one another.
But Yu Xunge diligently noted down every word Li Zhou said.
The only thing that left her speechless was that Li Zhou mentioned Song Gui almost every five sentences.
Perhaps Yu Xunge’s calmness gave Li Zhou the courage to speak more freely about Song Gui. She gradually shed her burdens, her tone becoming lighter, and her words flowed like a leaky spoon.
This also allowed Yu Xunge to gather a wealth of information about Song Gui.
If Tu Lan’s portrayal of Song Gui was that of a heartless woman who deceived the rich and beautiful Li Zhou, then in Li Zhou’s words, Song Gui was a figure of immense charm.
She was a determined owl, an outstanding military strategist, tactician, and politician.
She was also the most greedy among the three great owl emperors: Song, Peach, and Maple.
Her acquisition of the best main city, Four Seasons City, showed that she only wanted the best; in her eyes, only the best was worthy of her.
Li Zhou summarized, “All owls love her. She has the most loyal friends, the most devoted lovers, and the warmest family.
“Do you know Feng Tang from Ze Lan? She and Feng Tang are like two extremes.
“Feng Tang’s truest love is reserved for her three daughters, but Song Gui…
“Her love is like moonlight, equally showering all beings. We offer ourselves to gain a fraction of her affection.”
Yu Xunge felt as if she had stumbled into a toxic fan club for Song Gui…
Li Zhou sighed, “What I’m about to say is a reward from the Dragon Blood, and also a thank you for taking care of Tu Lan.”
Yu Xunge couldn’t help but sit up straight. “What?”
Li Zhou said, “This information, I don’t want you to tell other dragons. It’s her secret.”
Yu Xunge replied, “Okay, I won’t say anything.”
Li Zhou continued, “I used to think she was emotionally rich, so she could lavish her love freely, but later I realized she knows too well how to create the illusion of love. If one day you find yourself starting to develop feelings for her—this can happen easily—then you need to be careful.
“She has a hidden divine talent passive skill called [Die-Hard Fan].
“Once any being develops feelings or affection for her, that affection is incredibly hard to fade. Hatred and disgust, on the other hand, are easily forgotten.”
Yu Xunge: “……”
If she had this talent when she was a star… wouldn’t she have already become a top-tier celebrity?
But just to be safe, Yu Xunge still asked, “This talent skill, you’re sure it’s not something you made up, right?”
Li Zhou: “………………”
“Okay, I get it! I understand!” Seeing Li Zhou’s tail raised high, Yu Xunge immediately knelt down, saying, “Actually, if you tell the Holy Grail about this skill, maybe they’ll understand you. That would be a real dilemma; you’d be excused for being unable to help it.”
Li Zhou shook her head, looking at Yu Xunge with an expression that said, “You really don’t understand anything.” She said, “No, you don’t get it. My situation has nothing to do with this skill.”
Yu Xunge: …………
You should really go check on your dragon brain.
She was willing to donate 500 gold coins; anything more than that was too much. She was afraid it wouldn’t be cured.
**Chapter 473: The Second Pet!!**
After leaving the dazed Li Zhou, Yu Xunge flew back to the dragon nest with ease and found the Holy Grail.
At that moment, the Holy Grail had transformed into a medium-sized form, lying in the dragon nest while directing Tu Lan to clean her dragon scales.
Seeing Yu Xunge, Tu Lan hurriedly asked, “What’s up? Did Li Zhou say something outrageous again?”
Yu Xunge gave her a light slap. “Do you think I’m the kind of person who would snitch behind someone’s back? You really underestimate me!”
In Dragon Island, both the person and the dragon spoke the Dragon Clan language.
After greeting the Holy Grail, Yu Xunge skipped the usual pleasantries popular in human society and began inquiring about the contract.
After Yu Xunge finished describing her situation, the Holy Grail said, “You want to bind it with a soul contract?”
Yu Xunge shook her head. “No, I actually don’t want it to have any connection to my soul.”
“That makes it tricky.” Despite saying that, the Holy Grail’s expression showed no signs of difficulty. “First, tell me what nonsense Li Zhou said about Song Gui, and I’ll help you solve this issue.”
Yu Xunge immediately sat cross-legged. “Okay! No problem!”
