In the novel "Quick Transmigration: The Strongest Female Cannon Fodder," Chapter 176, "Across the Interstellar Space," Ruoshui was thinking about Aura when she unknowingly walked back to the princess's palace.

The princess's palace is a white building with a garden outside, filled with all kinds of beautiful and intricate flowers.

The palace was fully equipped with all kinds of facilities. After taking a hot bath, Ruoshui lay down on the huge princess bed to rest.

Ruoshui was still thinking about everything that had happened today. Logically speaking, since the mission was completed early, she could have enjoyed herself in this world, but Ruoshui just felt that something was off.

"System, what do you think the king is thinking? According to King Or's character in the story, his daughter has suffered so much outside and has finally returned. Shouldn't he be moved to tears?"

"But when I came back, the king didn't seem that excited. There were so many people in the square, and judging from the king's entourage, he had tidied his appearance beforehand, as if he had come prepared."

"It's just picking up a daughter, why make such a big fuss? Not only did they gather so many people in the square, but they also broadcast it live to the entire galaxy."

"In addition to his announcement of tax exemption in the square, I always felt that picking up his daughter was secondary; he mainly needed an opportunity and a reason to announce his decision."

"Because my most beloved daughter is back, I'm so happy that I get a three-year tax exemption. What a great reason!" Ruoshui said.

"Master, are you saying that there's something wrong with this King Sak?" the system said.

“I’m not entirely sure either. His actions always make people suspicious, but judging from his expression and demeanor, he doesn’t seem to have any problems. There’s not a single flaw.”

"I've traveled through so many worlds, and I'm always good at judging people. No matter how good someone is at disguising themselves or how cunning a sly old fox they are, they can't fool my eyes."

"But he is a person who, at first glance, seems to be able to tell what he is thinking. It seems that his thoughts are all superficial, which makes people arrogantly think that they can see through him at a glance, so they will not be wary or suspicious of him."

"Either he is a person who is full of justice and has principles and bottom lines, but lacks foresight, or he is a master of disguise."

"But no matter how perfectly he appears to be doing things, what he does is undeniably highly suspicious."

"But what good does he do? It will only make the planet more chaotic, just like he was so happy that his daughter came back that he casually granted her a three-year tax exemption without considering the consequences."

"And then there's this Aura. This identity is also very convenient for movement. If I were an outsider, it would be perfect for me to transmigrate into her body," Ruoshui said thoughtfully.

Ruoshui had something on her mind, but soon the day passed.

When Ruoshui woke up the next morning, the sunlight was already shining through the window onto the large bed where she was.

Seeing that Ruoshui was awake, after washing up, the robot butler brought her breakfast.

Ruoshui had just finished breakfast when the robot butler beside him, dressed in an elegant and handsome uniform, said:

"Your Highness, the King says he has something to discuss with you and asks you to come to see him in a little while."

Although the robot butler's voice is pleasant, it carries the coldness unique to robots.

His words were very ordinary, as if he were simply relaying the king's instructions to Ruoshui.

But it was just this ordinary sentence that made Ruoshui certain that this king was definitely not the original owner's father.

In the original owner's memories, this king practically spoiled her rotten. Given his personality, if it was truly as the robot butler said—that he would only seek out Ruoshui when he needed something—

The king would definitely make the trip himself, and would never simply order Ruoshui to come over as he does now.

"System, if this King Or is no longer the same one, then who exactly is he and what is his purpose?" Ruoshui asked.

"Yeah, they don't seem to be mission takers either. Mission takers, no matter what they do, ultimately have to get close to the male and female leads. Now that the male and female leads are dead, there's nothing for mission takers to do."

"But while you were sleeping, Master, I read the Heavenly Dao information of this world, and indeed there is only one male and female protagonist, and no others," the system said.

Neither a mission participant nor a native of this world, King Or's identity remains a mystery.

Ruoshui discussed things with the system in her mind while following the robot toward the king's location.

Ruoshui noticed that most of the people in the palace walked, each accompanied by a robot butler.

This further convinced Ruoshui that this king was not from this world.

Because of the advanced technology in this world, people are used to taking transportation even for distances of just a few dozen meters.

So lazy that even when he goes out to sunbathe, he won't take a single step. Instead, he takes a seat-shaped aircraft that flies slowly, and after he's finished sunbathing, the aircraft brings him back.

However, the king was not used to using such flying machines, so in order to follow the king's example, no one in the palace went out to ride these walking flying machines anymore.

Although Ruoshui also felt that this kind of behavior of not being too lazy to even take a single step when going out was simply too lazy to the extreme.

But that's how the people on this planet think; they think it's normal and don't consider themselves lazy.

This made Ruoshui feel that King Orr's way of thinking was similar to her own.

Lost in thought, Ruoshui was led by the robot to the door of the king's study without realizing it.

The robot butler gently knocked on the door and said, "Your Majesty, the Princess has arrived."

"Come in," a deep, middle-aged man's voice came from inside.

Upon hearing the response, the robot considerately opened the study door for Ruoshui, stood at the doorway and gestured for her to enter, saying:

"Your Highness, please go inside. His Majesty the King is waiting for you."

"I understand," Ruoshui replied and went inside.

It was more like a database than a study. As soon as Ruoshui entered, she saw that the bookshelves were not filled with books, but with orbs of light. These orbs were all personal computers, containing the most confidential information.

In the very center of the room stands a simple yet elegant desk, which seems somewhat out of place against the backdrop of these high-tech light spheres.

Above the desk, a screen was floating in the air and flashing light. Since Ruoshui was behind the screen, she couldn't see what was on it.

The person at the desk, hearing Ruoshui enter, turned off the personal terminal, looked up at Ruoshui, and said:

"Daughter, you're here."

"Hmm, I wonder what Father wanted to do with me?" Ruoshui said, her voice clear and melodious.

Ruoshui showed no outward change, but inwardly she said to the system:

"System, could you scan to see if King Or has been replaced, for example, if a mission participant like me has had their body taken over by someone else?"

"Good master."

After the system finished speaking, it remained silent for a few seconds. After a few seconds, the system's voice could be heard:

“Master, he doesn’t have the aura of a mission taker, and the connection between his body and soul is very close. If someone were to possess him, it would be impossible for the soul and body to be 100% connected. So he doesn’t seem like his soul has been replaced.”

"What is my daughter thinking?" King Orr asked.

King Orl's words brought Ruoshui back to her senses.

"I wasn't thinking about anything, I just felt that Father has changed a lot since I came back this time," Ruoshui tried her best to imitate the original owner's tone, but she was also subtly probing King Or as she spoke.

“Don’t overthink it. I know you’ve suffered a lot in the Sak system, but don’t worry, your father still loves you as much as ever,” King Sak said.

When King Sak spoke, he always had a kind smile on his face, giving people a friendly feeling.

If it weren't for his strange behavior, Ruoshui would have really thought that the person in front of her was a kind father.

"The reason you suffered so much after marrying into the Sak system is all because I misjudged you," King Sak said with a look of regret.

"So I want to make it up to you and find you a good partner. During the time you were away, I met a boy named Watt."

"He is kind, honest, and upright. He is a good person, so I would like to arrange for you to meet him another day."

“Master, this Watt is no ordinary person. He is also the captain of a space pirate crew. Unlike Aura’s Red Bird Pirate Crew, although Watt’s pirate crew is smaller in size, each member is an outstanding talent.”

"Watt's pirate crew is said to have the most nano-crystals of all pirate crews. Is this king planning to take you away for a political marriage?" the system said.

Ruoshui narrowed her eyes. The fact that she was willing to send her most beloved daughter away in exchange for benefits meant that she could be 100% certain that this king was no longer the real person.

Ruoshui was polite to King Or because he was the original owner's father. Although Ruoshui was on a mission, she was occupying the original owner's body and had to fulfill some of the original owner's obligations.

Now that it's 100% certain he's not the Queen of Orl, Ruoshui is extremely kind to everyone around her. However, if someone is excluded from her circle of relatives and friends, Ruoshui won't be so polite to them.

Ruoshui is not a tolerant or magnanimous person. Anyone who dares to scheme against her should be prepared for the backlash.

“Father, I remember that Watt is not as good as you say. I heard that he is ugly and has a strange and tyrannical personality. He is not a good person.”

"If we're talking about his strengths, it seems he has quite a lot of Na Jing (a type of magical crystal)," Ruoshui said meaningfully.

Ruoshui's voice was clear and pleasant, but it always gave King Or a sense of invisible pressure.

Ruoshui's lips curled slightly upwards, as if she were smiling, but the smile didn't reach her eyes. Ruoshui's eyes were calm as water, making it impossible to see what she was thinking.

At this moment, he actually felt that he couldn't quite understand his daughter.

Even King Orr didn't notice that, despite his usual self-assurance, a thin layer of sweat was now beading on his forehead.

Ruoshui took a few more steps forward towards King Or. Ruoshui's steps were elegant and beautiful, but it was this gradual approach that made King Or feel immense pressure.

"Stop pretending. I don't want to play this father-daughter act with you. Tell me, who are you really?" Ruoshui said coldly.

King Sak unconsciously took a few steps back, distancing himself from Ruoshui.

"Daughter, what are you saying? Your father doesn't understand," King Sak said with a puzzled look.

His expression was flawless, as if he genuinely didn't know why Ruoshui would suddenly ask this question.

At this moment, King Orl tried to open his eyes and meet Ruoshui's gaze while making his own explanation.

When I met his gaze, for a fleeting moment, I felt that same feeling I had when I first met King Orr in the square.

In that instant, Ruoshui suddenly felt that King Orr was so respectable.

But it only lasted for a second or two before Ruoshui was no longer affected by this feeling.

If it were just once, Ruoshui would feel it was her imagination, since the time was too short and the feeling disappeared before she could even grasp it.

But including the time in the square, that makes two times in total, so it's definitely not a coincidence.

Just as Ruoshui was about to ask the system a question, the system interrupted her.

"Master, we have detected the aura of the protagonist's halo," the system said.

"Protagonist halo? You're saying this King Or is the protagonist?" Ruoshui said.

"No, Master, the protagonist's halo is actually a special kind of prop. Why is it that even though the protagonist has terrible character and temper, he can still attract a group of people to follow him?"

"Someone specifically studied the rules surrounding the protagonist and then created the special item called 'protagonist aura'."

"This 'protagonist halo' is created using the power of rules. It is in the shape of a halo. Because they possess the characteristics of a protagonist, this type of special item is called the protagonist halo."

"This halo creation was added to the rules, just as creating the world requires creating the rules that make the world work."

"Rules?" Ruoshui asked, puzzled.

"Yes, every world has its own rules. For example, some worlds allow cultivation, some worlds allow magic, and there are rules that determine why it rains and thunders, and why fire is hot."

"Furthermore, the characteristic of rules is that they are absolutely mandatory. For example, in some worlds there is no magic in the air. Even if some mission takers have learned how to absorb and use magic in a world with magic, they will never be able to absorb and create magic from the air in a world without magic."

"When you live in a world, you must be influenced by its rules and follow them."

"By incorporating rules into created items, special items are produced. Similarly, within the sphere of influence of these special items' abilities, the rules established by those special items must be followed."

"This is what is called absolute coercion."

"For example, the rule of a special prop is that [people within five meters will fall down]. As long as the requirement of the rule is met, no matter how strong a person is, they will be forced to fall down when they get close to it within five meters. The requirement of this special prop is a person. Creatures that are not 'human' will not be affected."

"This special item worn by King Orr allows those around him to unconditionally trust and support him. At the same time, it also provides a certain luck bonus to the wearer. This special item is a kind of protagonist's halo."

"There are many types of special items. The 'protagonist aura' alone has many types, such as the 'always encountering treasures' type of protagonist aura, the 'always surviving at crucial moments' type of protagonist aura, and the 'always encountering important figures wherever you go' type of protagonist aura, etc."

“I don’t know why you’re not affected by King Or’s protagonist aura, Master. Logically speaking, around special items, if you’re not wearing an anti-rule item, the influence of the special item is mandatory, regardless of whether you are a god or a Buddha.”

"However, special items are things that only appear in higher worlds, so how did they appear in such a low-level world?" the system said.
