Is the person you sculpt as cute as me?

Yu Man remained silent, thinking that this made sense, so she logged off and had her meal.

083 Once Upon a Holy Night

There is a difference between copies and replicas.

Most of the time, as players are familiar with, they just run over the monster corpses along the way and then challenge the powerful boss.

But there are also contents that Yu Man and his team face special challenges when they step into them.

Therefore, even if you are doing the same dungeon, the benefits of specialization will be different, so there will be settlement specialization to balance the benefits.

"It seems that the distribution is based on the degree of effort..." The deer quickly understood.

Obviously, everyone benefits.

Yago was screaming and shouting over there, saying things like "Awesome, I got 30 points of expertise." No one objected, after all, he was the tank who endured the sword's heat and tamed it with his life.

Just like that, when Ya Ge caught Teng Ge and said happily and boastfully, "Xiao Teng, how much did you add?"

"The copy is settled. Please choose the location to return to."

Their replica journey is over.

Ni Xiaolu took the lead and quickly typed a line in the guild chat: "Thank you all! Um, I wasn't able to help >_<."

This changed the atmosphere from cheerful to post-match summary. Everyone embarrassedly said that they did nothing, and then politely said "thank you for your hard work and leadership" one after another. Yago really enjoyed this.

Yu Man should have been like this too.

But her attention at this moment was attracted by other things.

At the optional return location, Yu Man saw something strange.

"Shimlabakken Main City, Guild Territory, [Untranslatable Old World Language]"

"what's the situation……"

"What's wrong, Eel?" Xiaolu was always the first one to notice that Yu Man was acting strangely.

"You..." Yu Man tried to ask her, "What is your return location?"

"The main city and the guild territory, where should we go back to?"

If she didn't have this choice... maybe... Yu Man suddenly had some ideas.

Afterwards, she traded all her gains to the deer, keeping only the things she could use for fighting and the chests.

"Well, Miss, you go back to the guild territory. I might not be back for a while."

"Um...what's the problem?"

"No, it's just that my return location is a little strange."

The deer didn't ask any further questions, but just nodded and obeyed. "It doesn't matter. Anyway, our return destination in the real world is the same. That's enough."

Yu Man felt warm in her heart. Even though they were separated in the old world and were on different journeys, as long as they temporarily left the world, they would be under the same roof...

Wait, that's not right.

Yu Man realized something and immediately asked back, "You really took advantage of being offline to run to my bed—"

Unfortunately, before I could finish my story, the deer had disappeared.

Alas…but that strange warmth did not dissipate.

Even though they have no one to rely on when traveling in their dreams, they still have an additional reality that is free from loneliness.

Just like that, Yu Man's courage doubled, he responded to the invitation, and chose [Untranslatable Old World Language] as his return destination after leaving the copy.

She left too.

……

Yu Man had a dream.

——Like sleeping.

Only consciousness exists, but there are no thoughts, ideas, concepts, or common sense.

It is just a random, dreamlike consciousness.

It is extracted from the human soul, making people forget the existence of the body and fall asleep.

That is the beautiful moment before falling asleep.

Now - Yu Man stepped into such a place.

"This is the first time I see you, thank you for coming—"

She heard such a sound.

Very gentle, very ambiguous, it must come from a young girl.

——Are you talking to me? Yu Man thought so.

Then—someone lifted the veil for her, waking her from her hazy dream and allowing her to regain her true self.

A girl in a white robe appeared before her.

From the hood to the feet, but the white robe did not touch the ground.

It was her outstretched hand that lifted the hazy mist for Yu Man and brought her into clarity.

"...Don't be surprised or alarmed. I'm merely transporting your soul from a dream here, so you might feel a little carsick on the way... That's roughly the principle... But the means of transportation we're riding are 'sleep' and 'dreams'... Judging from your expression, I think you completely understand."

"what……"

Yu Man just didn't expect that the other party was so talkative.

Judging from his appearance alone, the other party undoubtedly possessed divinity - an extremely rare trait.

When people look at the other person, they cannot read any information from the other person's face. They can only recognize from the bottom of their hearts that the other person is holy, perfect, mysterious and dreamy... Obviously, the other person is a god.

That is divinity.

In other words-

"What GM position are you?" Yu Man asked immediately.

"GM3."

Oh! We met once before, Yu Man still remembers this incident.

Wait, Yu Man suddenly felt a chill down his spine: "Brother, don't ban me!"

There was sweat on her forehead, which was undoubtedly due to the bug in the previous dungeon being discovered...

Or maybe, it was because of the trading guild, and he was punished for multiple crimes!

It's over, Senior Cat, I will never be able to regain my human identity for you. It's over, Xiaolu, the fixed team didn't expect to disband because of this... It's over, Yu Man, you don't have the game anymore, and your boss won't keep you at home...

Countless thoughts popped up in my mind.

But this is only a small part.

More thoughts, however, are the swirling and lingering player instincts.

——How can I kill this GM and avoid being banned?

What's worse, she actually came up with two or three ideas that were worth trying.

"Your eyes are so sharp."

GM3 seemed to be stabbed, and gently lowered the brim of his hat to avoid Yu Man's gaze.

She walked backwards, and the empty white scene was transformed into floor tiles by her steps.

Pure white and smooth, it exists only for her feet.

When she stretched out her hand, a chair of the same brilliant white color appeared because of her, and she sat down.

"I don't have the power to forbid you from entering this world, nor do I expect you to. I invited you here simply because I finally have time to rest, and I wanted to convey our promise to you."

What?

Anyway, as long as it’s not a ban, that’s fine.

There's time to rest... Does that mean the server has stabilized?

Agreement?

Yu Man was very outgoing and familiar. When she walked near her, sure enough, a chair appeared as she wished.

She used this time to think about the word "promise". Which one was it in the first week's goal?

"This is probably the first time we've met, but... you're probably one of the Three Secretaries... and one of the administrators of this world. I know a little bit about that."

"Well, as you know, I am Lie, and I have a pact with Against All Things..."

Who is "against all things" and what is going on?

Did he find the wrong person—wait, could it be Cat Senior?

"That cat..." Yu Man asked with gritted teeth.

"Hahaha, that cat!" Lie laughed non-stop, and his laughter was extremely sincere.

It’s true...Senior Cat has a really cool name, who gave her that?

But Senior Cat said she had slashed a "Three Secrets," so she'd completed the first round. So the victim was this "lie" in front of her. She still existed, and in good condition... In other words, Senior Cat's so-called slashing... probably wasn't killing.

Lie pinched the corners of his mouth and put away his smile.

"That cat wants to return to this world...right?"

"Ah."

"Then please help confirm whether she wants to come back or turn back into a human."

"...Then I'll log off now?"

Lie shook his head and explained hurriedly.

"No, no, no, just go when you're free. And then, I want you to tell her, 'I'll do my best to welcome her back, just to fight her again and deny her boasts.'"

Yu Man said "hmm", which meant she remembered the matter.

However, Senior Cat’s first round seems to be quite colorful. I’ll go and ask about it after I log off.

"Don't look at me with such greedy eyes. I understand that you want to be paid... but unfortunately, I am penniless and can't do anything for you."

"No need, if the Triple Crown... Cat Front... uh, "Reverse... what is it."

"Going against all things."

"If 'Go Against All Things' could ever come to this world, it would be the greatest reward for me. I hope you will welcome her back immediately."

By then, although she had missed the pioneering period, with Senior Cat's level, she might be able to dig out the old world inside and out and solve all her confusions so far.

Moreover, Senior Cat is an absolutely reliable person who knows everyone inside and out.

Yu Man really wanted a strong teammate he could trust unconditionally. He'd already teamed up with Xiaolu this week, breaking his lone wolf habit, so there was no need to be overly picky.

"I will discuss the terms as soon as possible and convey them to you."

"Ah."

There was a hint of urgency in the other person's tone, even... more anxious than himself?

What on earth had Senior Cat done in Act 1 to make one of the three supreme beings in this world care so much about her… How on earth had she managed to kill him? Yu Man lamented that she had become a girl and was so enthusiastic about gossip—but then she thought, even if she wasn't a girl, she would probably care about this matter.

At this time, Lie said this with a look of sympathy and sadness.

"Besides that, I specially invited you here to apologize to you."

"……what?"
