Why isn't what I command considered a beast?

Looking at the girl's sweet smile, Ota felt a surge of resentment.

What puzzled him even more was—"How did you know there was something wrong with those four skull lamps?"

Mingxi raised her eyebrows and looked at the little elf in front of her who had turned into a red-winged creature. It had a pair of unruly little sharp teeth and long, pointed ears, and its appearance was somewhat similar to the Liusui elf.

Seeing the change, Jin Yuanbao and the others stared in astonishment.

"Luo?"

Does this guy have the same simulation skills as Lao Wu?

But it didn't sense any familiar energy fluctuations from it.

How is this going?

Instead of addressing the red sprite's question, Mingxi naturally answered her own pet's questions first.

"It is not an extraordinary creature, but rather a spirit-like existence formed by the combination of virtual technology, artificial intelligence and other technologies with props."

In other words, it is somewhat similar to Guangguang.

However, Guangguang was formed by the laws of the Time Realm, while this little sprite is a high-level intelligence of this world, and should be closer to the existence of the Limit Tower's main control system.

It must be said that the Chu family is indeed quite capable.

After answering Little Silver Flower and the others' questions, Mingxi looked at the red sprite again, "It's very simple. As an NPC in the Dream City, you definitely have a weakness."

In any game designed for entertainment or competition, there is a way to complete it 99% of the time.

An unbeatable game might exist, but it's unlikely to exist in this dreamlike labyrinth.

One of the purposes of the Chu family's activities is to promote and publicize the Dream City. They can make all the games and entertainment facilities very difficult, but they will definitely have a way to pass them.

"By observing the entire wall, I determined that the skull lamps that resemble your appearance are the most suspicious. Death Coil can slow down the attachment of energy objects, but only those four skull lamps were completely unaffected."

Mingxi smiled and looked directly into the little elf's eyes: "Just like you."

As an NPC, or rather, the core element controlling the entire wall, it is immune to all attacks from the gold ingot.

That's the crux of the problem.

Therefore, Mingxi deduced that the four lamps and Ota were linked, and that if one was damaged, the other would also be damaged.

As long as they are picked and destroyed, Ota can be controlled.

As for why they should be done simultaneously?

It was because she had previously hinted to Florence to try to take down a skull lamp, but it hadn't succeeded.

Therefore, it is speculated that there is more than one key skull lamp, and it would be best to destroy them all at the same time.

Although her speculation lacked crucial evidence, it wasn't a matter of life or death, so there was a high margin for error.

It's okay if you guess wrong.

And as it turned out, she was right.

After listening to her simple analysis, Ota didn't dwell on it any longer. In the end, it was just an intelligent program with its personality and lines pre-programmed.

This is also why Mingxi was willing to explain.

It felt like unless she explained it clearly, the little elf wouldn't reveal the information she wanted to know.

Ota: "Honorable adventurer, congratulations on successfully breaking the shackles of the Bone Wall. You can receive a piece of information about the Eight Flavor Fruit from me for free."

As Otta, the messenger of joy and courage, I have two clues here, one about sweet fruit and the other about spicy fruit. Which one do you want?

Mingxi raised an eyebrow: "Can I only choose one?"

"Correct."

"What should I do if I want both leads?"

Ota's face remained indifferent, showing no emotional fluctuation whatsoever. Compared to its arrogant and manic behavior with the puppet skull, it now resembled a cold, emotionless machine.

"If you want both leads, you can purchase them using points."

Knew it.

Ye Linyu had previously stated that points are very important in the final stage of the event, but the final winner is not determined by the number of points.

What's the use of those points?

It can only be used in this dreamlike, labyrinthine city.

How many points are awarded for each clue?

"The two clues I have are worth 50 points and 20 points respectively, so you need to choose the free one first before I can tell you the value of the other clue."

Mingxi's lips and eyes twitched.

Luckily, she didn't choose directly, otherwise, given her luck, she would very likely have chosen the clue worth 20 points.

"Little Silver Flower, would you like it sweet or spicy?"

Such matters are naturally left to our Lady of Fortune.

Little Silver Flower was more than willing to take the lead.

"Lo."

Spicy.

Sweet fruit is great, but spicy strips are delicious too.

These past two days, Xiao Yinhua has been obsessed with the spicy snacks that Chu Kuangsheng specially sent to deliver.

Mingxi immediately said to Ota, "I choose the spicy fruit clue."

Ota nodded and removed a red wing from his back.

The next second, the wings flew to Mingxi's hand on their own and turned into a map.

Mingxi quickly scanned the map and memorized its contents.

"What about the clues about the sweet fruit?"

"Is the customer sure they want to spend 20 points to purchase a clue for the sweet fruit?"

It really is Little Silver Flower.

They did indeed choose the more valuable clue.

"determine."

Points have been deducted.

Mingxi has a total of 260 personal points. After deducting 20, she has 240 points left.

It may look like a lot, but its actual usability is uncertain.

However, Mingxi guessed that there should also be ways to earn or exchange points in the Dream City.

After obtaining the two maps, Mingxi bid farewell to Ota, who had lost two wings, and left the area with Jin Yinlan Feihei.

The group quickly arrived at a six-way intersection.

Only then did they stop moving forward.

"Time is limited, so I've decided to split up the forces."

Mingxi had already compared the two maps in her hands.

The spicy fruit is located at a 30° angle to the upper left, while the sweet fruit is located to the right.

According to the map and the actual route, the spicy fruit was closer to them, but the location of the sweet fruit was not beyond her contract sensing range.

Therefore, they can split into two groups.

"Florence, you take Little Silver Flower and Lan Moon to find the sweet fruit, while Jin Yuanbao, Black Pearl, and I will go find the spicy fruit. Once Jin Yuanbao and I successfully find the spicy fruit, we'll immediately meet up with you. Any questions?"

Although Florence is not as strong as Silver Flower, it is intelligent, experienced, and has a strong ability to adapt to changing situations, making it fully capable of serving as the core of the team.

It is most suitable for it to lead the team, and Xiao Yinhua and Lan Yueliang are also willing to cooperate with it.

Moreover, the three of them are evenly matched in strength and have complementary abilities, making them most suitable to act together.

On Mingxi's side, Jin Yuanbao is the strongest, and with the support of Black Pearl, it can unleash 200% of its power. Mingxi's only concern is their team's luck.

But it's not a big problem.

"Jin?"

Can you do it?

Florence was somewhat uneasy.

Although the gold ingot is the strongest among them, can it really protect the little human and the black pearl properly?

"Jinjin?"

How about Lan Yue Liang and I go find the sweet fruit, and Yin Hua continues to follow you?
