Is the person you sculpt as cute as me?

He pondered various factors outside the game.

But in the next second - the black spot gradually approached.

"Stop the boat. It's wrong."

With this announcement, the sails were immediately furled, and the sailors, without hesitation, threw the anchor wrapped with iron chains into the sea.

But——the black spot is still approaching.

"Prepare for war..."

"Preparing for war?"

Before his meaning could be conveyed to his men, the strange black spot had already boarded the ship.

This is definitely not a system bug or a problem with the equipment.

It was some kind of weird adventure... Yes, it was some kind of plot that was triggered somehow on the sea!

Probably?

But the president of "BBT" felt fear from the bottom of his heart. A creepy feeling of evil to the core emanated from the black spot, making him feel uneasy and panicked.

Finally, he saw clearly.

It was a black shadow that looked like a human.

"I'm here to pick up the goods."

The shadow bowed, like a child of good family.

The shadow's voice was neither female nor male, neither that of a child nor an old man.

The shadow said—

"But as per convention, I still need to explain that I am the game administrator."

"...What?! GM?"

"You are suspected of RMT."

When the president of "BBT" heard this word, he was stunned, and a feeling of panic and horror surged from the bottom of his heart.

He knew the meaning of RMT, which was to use real money and currency to conduct transactions outside the game and break the economic system within the game.

He actually did it.

"You're kidding, I didn't." he said.

"You solicited donations from members, claiming you needed gold coins to run the guild. Then, you sold the gold coins to members of the guild in exchange for real money. You then claimed to the guild that... the money was being used for guild construction."

The president was surprised. How was this discovered?

But he had a record: "No, the guild funds raised were given to the guild's management and were indeed used for guild construction... because he was also an important part of the guild."

But - how did they find out?

Is there any risk in using the guild’s accounts?

He was extremely confused about this.

"It doesn't matter. I'm just looking for an excuse." The game administrator said frivolously, "As a price, I need to ban your entire guild."

"……what?!"

"For this week at least, I will take your futures as part of the Millennial Ritual. Rejoice, your futures will be used to create something beautiful, something far better than your rotten reality..."

What do you mean?

From here on, the president began to not understand.

But there seems to be necessary procedures between game administrators and game players.

Those words were like red tape, like endless meaningless official documents and nonsense traps that were deliberately made incomprehensible. They were all lies that no one cared about, and the truth hidden within them.

"You were supposed to be someone's touchstone here, the true starting point of her glory. Then, she would rise rapidly as an ordinary player, and in the process, expose the various aspects of you mortals—"

“…Wh, what do you mean?”

"At least, that's what was planned in the outline—but I won't allow this to happen. It's not good. So, this development... is nothing more than a lie."

Lies raised their hands and seized the future of everyone on this ship.

And created a truth born out of lies.

He quietly rewrote the story.

Just as "time" can manipulate time, or read stories as a "reader".

At this moment——"Lies" overturned every trace of the story with its incredible divine power.

All members of the entire "BBT" guild were banned at this moment due to RMT reasons.

Even after waking up in reality, they had forgotten their journey in the old world. They were simply not interested in it, and became mortals who did not step into the old world and share that extra third of life.

Everyone, including the president, all the future they should have had—

All fell into the hands of "lies".

"A good offering, enough."

Quietly, He left.

Only the empty ship was quietly anchored to the bottom of the sea.

……

"No, why is grilled fish the only thing you have on such a nice island?"

"Time" is quite dissatisfied with this.

Every time Yu Man comes to visit this island, his assistant only serves this kind of food.

Yu Man responded: "We can't help it. Boss Lu fishes every day and has accumulated a ton of fish. And no one here plays the chef game, and we're all just little girls who don't dare to touch small animals."

"Can we pick some wild fruits or something? Or gather some bird eggs? Or find a cook?"

"Oh, you're such a chatterbox, old man. In reality, our three meals a day are all made by perfect housekeeping robots, so of course it doesn't matter in the old world."

"Time" pouted like an ordinary little girl who was frustrated, revealing a hint of envy.

She had also visited Yu Man and Xiao Lu's homes, and of course knew how perfect the craftsmanship of the domestic robot was.

Alas, it’s hard for me in the game.

"What about the flowers? You're not dissatisfied?" "Time" asked another teammate for advice.

"I... I eat well in real life too. I have money now." She smiled shyly and excitedly.

Time looked depressed.

Yu Man returned to the island with the "Melting World Dragon" and happened to meet the little deer and Liu Tong Qi Hua who had also returned to the island.

By the way, "Time" and Serenade are still there.

The group happily gathered together, treating it as a welcome party for the Snake Restaurant. No, in fact, it was indeed a welcome party.

"Speaking of money—where's the sixteen hundred million dollars you owe me, my dear heroine?"

"Didn't you say 400 million before? When did it increase exponentially twice?" Yu Man seemed to be choked by a fishbone.

Time suddenly gave a sly smile: "Well, it is indeed 400 million. You admitted it."

"...A kid? You're just talking nonsense." Yu Man glared back. "Then why didn't you give me any pocket money since I was little? And you made me wander around all alone? If you could even give me a little help, I would treat you much better now."

"I don't understand what you're saying. That's just a collection of poems I gave you. Isn't it a bit too much to ask for money for it?"

"Shi Guang" smiled carelessly, but when she was chatting with Yu Man, her expression became much more ordinary.

Yu Man suddenly realized that Niao Laowu was now speaking very normally, like an ordinary person, and could even be understood and communicated with.

This is a good opportunity.

"Ms. Time, I still don't understand. Where did I come from? I must have real parents, right?"

"I thought you had completely mastered that word."

"...Which one?"

"Shi Guang" smiled and shook her head, her expression telling Yu Man that she already knew the answer.

I just haven't understood or thought about it yet.

"The world goes one way, and people go another."

Just like that, "Time" ended the time when it could still speak human language with just one line.

And from the beginning to the end, the deer was looking at Yu Man.

Yu Man finally had the nerve to ask, "...Deer...why are you looking at me?"

"You...you can actually give her all the money." Xiaolu finally spoke, "That way I'll feel more at ease."

A strange atmosphere suddenly filled the table.

Even those who didn't understand the meaning could understand what was going on from the emotions people were emitting.

Obviously, the little deer was in a state of anxiety - Liutong Qihua was very familiar with this.

She was worried that Yu Man, who had suddenly brought back a dragon sister, would disappear to some other place, and that his so-called "no plans to move" was just a lie.

At the same time, she was also a little worried.

He could still have time to spend with her - would this luxury leave her quickly?

All this constituted a strange uneasiness, which turned into a lingering gaze and this question.

"Is everything okay?"

Yu Man calmed her doubts with a calm tone: "Well - everything is fine."

"That's good."

At this moment, the serenade made a "whoosh" sound, and for some reason made everyone laugh.

This diluted the strange atmosphere that had just lingered.

"Anyway, Xiaoman, are you saying—you want to take us to that withered world?"

"Ah."

At the beginning, Yu Man briefly introduced the itinerary she had prepared.

Finally, she found a helper like the "Melting World Dragon" who was willing to accompany her. She planned to take everyone to that withered world and visit the real main line of the old world.

Xiaolu has joined the game, and it's time to take her to see something.

By the way—Yu Man has someone to look for.

He created the profession of "Promise Keeper" and gave Yu Man a systematic set of...the supreme god hidden in that world.

Since Senior Cat declared that he wanted to deal with the "Three Secrets", then those reflections of the old world would definitely be his helpers.

"What's that world like?" the deer asked. "Since we're going there... can we get a guide to the attractions?"

"To put it simply, it's like being eaten up, losing everything... and entering a withered world." Yu Man said casually.

"Many old gods dwell there, each one of them from a once-unique world...similar to...the reality we inhabit."

Liu Tong and Qi Hua were confused - what were they talking about?

But Xiaolu hadn't known when, and had even abandoned Liutongqihua, and had become able to understand and participate in this kind of conversation...

At this time-

The beautiful dragon lady in a cloak spoke.

"For certain purposes, the true gods of the Old World needed to obtain certain resources from other places. So far, many worlds have suffered as a result. Those worlds that were completely plundered withered completely, leaving only the powerful and indestructible Old Gods barely holding on..."

The introduction of "The World-Melting Dragon" made Xiaolu stunned.

However, the "Dragon of Melting the World" was being watched by Yu Man and Serenade at the same time, and was even being watched by "Time" among the "Three Secrets".

The World-Melting Dragon was taken aback. "This... these... can't be discussed?"

Yu Man denied it, "Not really... but this is deep into the plot. You're spoiling it for Xiaolu. I've always been avoiding this kind of thing, always being the riddler or skipping it..."

But now that it has been brought out, Yu Man no longer hides it.
