"Master! Ai Ge is here! Ai Ge is right here!"

Chapter Ninety-Two: Miss Noelle's Ghostly Design

"Love Song, Love Song, keywords: warehouse, full-length mirror, dust, cobwebs, tattered clothes, rusty machete..."

"What are you saying, Master? Isn't that what you just mentioned, the character keywords you added to the practice dolls that were thrown into the warehouse?"

"..." Ruoxue fell into deep thought.

Who am I? Where is she? What's the situation now? How's the battle on Reach? Does this count as a time travel collision? So many parallel worlds in the Type-Moon universe just happened to collide.

This isn't just about picking an auspicious day to get married; the other person is practically handmade, so you can change them to any model you want. Even if their tastes change in the future, they can adapt to your lifestyle. It seems like nothing could be more tempting.

"Master, should I still have our house decorated?" Aigo asked, noticing the problem.

"Continue, of course continue, and while you're at it, remember to spread the urban legend even more widely!" Originally, Ruoxue only set up the fake haunted house to fish for fun, but now that she has an even more fun toy, she certainly won't let it go.

That's perfect, since the original character was a ghost, now the other person also thinks they are a ghost.

The actors are already in character, wouldn't it be a disservice to this dedicated group member if we didn't make proper arrangements?

"Well then, my Round-Angle Girl Unit-01, before the fish takes the bait, I'll trouble you to stay in the warehouse for a few days before you come out and be round-angled." The expression on his face gradually became more unrestrained.

Not far away, Scáthach, who was already used to being forced to wear humiliating clothes at home, looked up at the sound, glanced suspiciously at her Master whose smile was becoming increasingly arrogant, and her legs involuntarily trembled. She silently moved a little further away from Ruo Xue.

Paid newbie: Maybe I have a solution.

Noelle: !

Noelle: Really!?

Paid newbie: Regardless of whether it's from China or Japan, your current situation ultimately requires humans.

Paid Newbie: While the Chinese belief suggests that letting go of attachments might lead to Buddhahood, it also allows one to survive by absorbing human essence, yang energy, and yin energy. In Japan, it's even simpler—just scare people.

Paid newbie: The two sides may have different perspectives, but the solution to the problem is the same.

Newbie just here to fill the numbers: That means Miss Noelle, you need to go to Round Corner!

Paid newbie: Yes, it needs rounded corners!

Noelle: ...

Noelle: Please don't use such words on serious topics.

As long as there's a way to survive, Noelle doesn't care how the other person chooses their words.

But the thought of being a ghost after transmigrating, and a female ghost at that, made Noelle extremely wary of the word "rounded corners," and she even found herself uncontrollably fantasizing about them whenever she heard it.

Uh!

Noelle: In short, we need to find a way to bring some people over.

Noelle: The problem is I'm completely broken down and can't move. I'm stuck in the warehouse. Forget about getting help, I can't even get out.

Newbie paying for this: No problem, there are always ways to spread the word.

Paid newbie: What material are the mirrors in the warehouse made of?

A seventeen-year-old girl: I see.

Newbie commenter: Glass mirrors indicate a high level of technology in the outside world, suggesting ample means of communication. As for bronze mirrors and the like, they're probably doomed.

Noelle: It's glass! It's a life-size glass mirror! Although the style is rather retro, the level of technological development outside is definitely not low!

Paid newbie: That makes things easier.

Ruoxue smiled. She was the one who threw the mirror into the warehouse, so of course she knew what it looked like.

A seventeen-year-old girl: Your method for paying a small fee is...

Paid Newbie: Yes, that's right, wouldn't it be better to just use technology to spread the newbies' 'ghost names'?

Paid Newbie: Unlike ancient times, modern times have seen a shift from feudal superstition to science. People have lost their reverence for ghosts and spirits, and they are no longer as averse to or fearful of supernatural phenomena as the older generation.

Paid newbies: As long as you release some half-true, half-false information to create an urban legend, there will always be people who are curious.

Newbie just there to fill a spot: This is just waiting for the rabbit to run into the tree stump.

Paid Newbie: Yes, that's right, this is like Gundam waiting for its pilot to come to it! Noelle: What does this have to do with Gundam!

Noelle: And I'm almost gone by now, even if it spreads, I probably won't last long before someone comes running over!

Newbie just filling in the blanks: Gundam!

Newbie here to fill in the blanks: Did you know that Japanese law prohibits sexually explicit content, just like in China?

Paid newbie: But, those Gundam piloting shops in Japan are still blatantly operating like this.

For newbies just filling in the numbers: Generally speaking, the more popular a shop is in an island nation, the less likely it is to allow foreigners to enter.

Paid newbie: Do you know why those Gundam driving shops are still operating so blatantly?

Noelle: No, I don't want to know.

Newbie (just filling in the numbers): It's because the service they provide after entering the store is very normal, just the usual drinks service.

Paid Newbie: Then, after you've had your fill of fun, a Gundam will come up to you and say, "Sir, I think we're a good match. Would you like to try piloting it?"

Newbie just filling in the numbers: Because it's all voluntary, the Gundam voluntarily gets piloted, and the pilot voluntarily pays for the Gundam's maintenance.

Paid newbie: So, in Japan, Gundam driving shops aren't illegal, and they're incredibly popular every day.

Noelle: ...Why do you know so much?

Newbie just there to fill a spot: Why?

Newbie who paid for this service: We're looking for the answer too.

A seventeen-year-old girl: ...

Grocery store owner: You need to pay? Why don't you explain your solution to the newbie first?

For newbies who pay: The solution is simple.

Paid Newbie: I'll upload a fully automated rumor spreader that even a complete idiot can use. Just take a few pictures of Noelle, combine them into a series of images using a template, and then distribute them online.

For newbies just looking to fill a spot: Create another website, refine Miss Noelle's ghostly character, and weave a captivating story that's half-true, half-false. Naturally, curious people will flock to it.

Noelle: But I really can't last that long, my body is completely broken.

Paid newbie: But you're still conscious and talking to us!

Seventeen-year-old girl: That makes sense.

The seventeen-year-old girl: The ghost is disintegrating, yet she's managed to maintain her sanity for so long. It seems Noelle's condition isn't what we initially suspected, but rather due to some other reason.

Noelle: In other words...

Grocery store owner: But if this happens on my own turf, it's very likely that the newcomer has some kind of seal on them.

Newbie (just filling a spot): Great, that's a setting.

Newbie filler: Evil spirits that wreaked havoc here decades or centuries ago were sealed away by a passing mage.

Newbie filler: Then, due to the modern industrial revolution and the rise of technology, a wealthy man bought this sealed land. While extensively renovating his villa there, he broke part of the seal, freeing the evil spirits.

For newbies who pay: The evil spirit has been sealed away and is currently very weak. Furthermore, because the evil spirit was divided into dozens of parts of varying sizes by the mage for sealing, it occasionally experiences sudden disintegration. However, as the seal is gradually broken, the evil spirit's power will return to its peak.

Paid Newbie: Unleash your revenge on the descendants of that heartless man!

Newbie just there to fill a spot: Perfect!

Noelle: ...Why do I have to be a beautiful girl?!

For newbies just looking to fill in the numbers: The ending for the male and female protagonists can be set up so that they escape from the house while being chased by evil spirits, then encounter the descendant of a sorcerer, and the evil spirits are instantly forgiven and become enlightened by the sorcerer's magic.

Noelle: There's no way a mage could be like that!

Newbie just there to make up the numbers: I can be one!

Noelle: (shivering)

Grocery store owner: This method sounds very feasible.

Seventeen-year-old girl: Let's give it a try! Little Noelle looks pretty energetic~

Noelle: ...I think I can still be saved.

Chapter Ninety-Three: Round and Round, Back to the Starting Point

Paid newbie: So now we just have to wait for the urban legend to take hold.

Noelle: Mm-hmm

Newbie (just filling a spot): Congratulations! Your life is safe and you can wait for the pilot.

Miss Fox (long-haired) yawned. - Shui Mingqun was indeed much more energetic, but because the newcomer's group problem had to be solved, her spirits relaxed and she became even more sleepy.

This can't go on forever, Miss Fox thought.

Looking at the large hamster and Brian beside her, neither of them had woken up. Although there were traces of carriages passing by over the years, Miss Fox had no idea where she was or which direction each side led.

"But that doesn't make sense. Dog Aoyama is gone, and I don't seem to have any reason to go to the capital anymore..."

But there's even less reason to return to Ye Lantier.

If that's the starting point after you transmigrate, the beginner village, where you accumulate initial resources, then Miss Fox carries them all with her.

All my money was in the backpack.

Furthermore, all the high-difficulty quests in Ye Lantier, and even all the monsters deemed high-dangerous in the surrounding area, have been defeated by Miss Fox, making it a veritable beginner's village. If it weren't for its proximity to the Great Tomb of Nazarick.

"Thinking about it this way, it suddenly feels like I need to improve my strength to leave Loran, and then I'll have to go back to deal with stronger enemies deep within Loran in the future." Mechanical Bull, Miss Fox knows this one well.

I started playing in the early 60 version, and later I was brutally beaten by Mechanical Bull. But before I transmigrated, I could play like One-Punch Man in every normal level. Thinking back on it now, it feels like times have changed.

However, in reality, if she wanted to solo the Great Tomb of Nazarick, she would need to be at least at the first awakening stage. After all, Ainz Ooal Gown doesn't have much else, but he has a lot of items. Especially those weird pay-to-win items, resurrection items, world-class items, etc., just thinking about them is enough to give one a headache. So in Miss Fox's mind, the first awakening stage is the minimum requirement for soloing; to play it safe, she would definitely go for it at max level first.

After all, you can't say the Great Tomb is weak; a bunch of level 100 characters can't possibly be weak.

But you might say the Great Tomb of Nazarick is powerful, but without the props, even if everyone is wearing the top-tier equipment, the supposedly most destructive super-level magic falling from the sky would only create a crater about the height of a one-story building with a radius of a hundred meters. No matter how you look at it, it's not that powerful.

"Let's take it one step at a time. If all else fails, we can always ask Uncle Aizen for help when the chat group opens up the time travel function."

Hmm, I remember Ainz Ooal Gown had a move called "Death is the end of all life," I wonder if it works on the Grim Reaper.

I don't know if it will work for her.

After all, while death is an inevitable form of death, she does have a passive resurrection ability. It seems Shalltear survived only because of this resurrection. I wonder if she still has invincibility after awakening.

If only we had resurrection coins...

As her consciousness began to fade, Miss Fox couldn't help but nod, jolting awake. She almost drifted off to sleep while thinking about it.

"No, this won't do, it really can't go on like this." She slapped herself twice to force herself awake. Suddenly, Miss Fox's ears twitched; she heard some strange noises.

He nimbly climbed the tree and looked around.

Following the tracks of the carriages, a caravan was soon spotted in one direction, moving slowly forward. It wouldn't be long before they passed by Miss Fox's location.

Hmm, a seemingly normal caravan. The goods, though covered by white cloth, aren't in cages, so it doesn't look like a slave trader's caravan. But the guards look very professional, well-trained, and their equipment is quite uniform, which is a bit suspicious.

After all, if it were a hired adventurer team, Miss Fox didn't believe a group of adventurers could be so well-trained and uniformly equipped, nor did she believe they would behave themselves. Therefore, this caravan could only be a noble's caravan. Only a noble's private army could produce such a situation. But the problem is, this caravan doesn't have any family emblems on it.

"It looks suspicious no matter how you look at it..."

"Oh, wait, there seems to be someone else..." Miss Fox raised her hands to her eyes, making a very affected lookout gesture.

Hidden near the woods on either side of the caravan was a group of people. Their concealment skills were excellent, and they almost perfectly avoided the caravan's vigilant gaze, following the caravan as they moved forward.

However, the group that hid didn't seem to be part of the caravan, nor did they appear to be bandits. They seemed to have been sent by a rival, constantly observing the caravan and seemingly intent on confirming something. They were quite aggressive towards the caravan, just waiting for an opportunity to strike.

"Am I about to trigger some kind of plot?"

First of all, although the equipment of the people targeting that caravan was colorful and flashy, it looked very high-quality. Moreover, apart from a burly warrior wielding a large hammer and an unidentifiable girl wearing a mask, the entire group consisted of beautiful girls.

Twins, a flat-chested loli wearing a mask, and a blonde girl—their attributes aren't exactly complete, but their clothes and equipment are quite exquisite and different, making it clear that they're not just extras.

In contrast, the caravan consisted of a variety of generic faces, the kind of people whose appearances were easily forgotten after just one glance; they were clearly a group of extras.
