How to survive in a soul-based game with full female mods

"This lord has indirectly done a good deed..."

Lin Yinxi blinked after realizing the inside story of the "restoration magic".

The lord gave them the castle, seemingly placing a 'recovery curse' on the Knights of the Silver Dawn, but the truth was completely different. It wasn't a curse, and certainly had no such purpose.

The magic cast on the castle is harmless to humans.

Of course, to discover this, the player must encounter the man who is said to be the strongest magician on the continent in the last area of ​​the game, the "Eternal Library" or the "Eternal Magic Tower".

"No matter how you think about it, you have to get rid of that guy as soon as possible."

In the game, except for the early stages, players can choose to attack the lord at any time in the game.

Claudia will be out fighting monsters and will be back sooner or later, so it's best to have a boss battle with her first to convince her, then kill the lord immediately to lighten the burden.

"Also, newbie, you have to follow me."

"Me? What?"

Alice had said before that she would report what happened in the prison to the lord, but now she asked Lin Yinxi to follow her.

"Because that guy put forward additional conditions. If you want someone to join our Knights, you must report to him."

"It sounds like he would absolutely and unconditionally refuse me permission to join."

"There's no problem with you joining. First of all, you don't need his permission to join. It's just a notification. All this is for him to confirm who you are."

"So it doesn't matter how many knights we add?"

Alice shook her head.

"That's the real problem."

017. Early meeting

That night, Lin Yinxi and Alice prepared to meet the lord.

They had intended to go tomorrow morning, but the lord summoned his servant and told him to go now.

Alice didn't wear her usual white sleeveless vest and shark shorts, but instead put on a light outer armor, while Lin Yinxi continued to wear ordinary cloth clothes.

"You understand? Don't behave too properly. If he asks you a question, don't answer it. I'll answer it for you."

"Okay, okay, Alice, how many times have you said this?"

"I do this because I can't repeat it enough. Remember, there's no telling how that guy is going to treat you, or what he's going to do, so you have to be quiet."

As she and Alice rode toward the manor, she repeated her advice over and over again, even though it was advice that didn't make much sense.

Because if the lord was really determined to find fault, this advice would be useless, and most importantly, he might know the lord better than they did.

The Knight Commanders, including Alice, were simply suffering from bullying and discrimination, but while playing the game, he had actually killed the lord in various ways.

If he revealed his true intentions from the beginning, things would be very difficult later on, so he couldn't reveal his true intentions yet. However, he was confident that he could eliminate the lord without any consequences within two weeks, including the preparation process.

"right here."

After riding towards the city center for a while, Alice stopped in front of a magnificent mansion.

The mansion was ridiculously large, much larger than the mansions in the game he remembered. Lin Yinxi was speechless for a moment and stared at it blankly.

Is it because of his royal bloodline that he can't get rid of his vanity? It's not an exaggeration to say that this is the emperor's residence.

"By the way, the emperor is also a woman now, right?"

In female mods, she should be called the Empress.

To be more precise, under the female mod, almost all humanoid bosses have become female, and it is very rare to see bosses that are still male.

“She’s become the Empress…”

Even if she's a woman, it's fine as long as her personality doesn't change much.

"Stop, stop!"

The gatekeeper standing in front of the mansion, upon seeing the two men approaching on horseback, nervously yelled for them to stop. This was a stark contrast to the courtesy the gate guards had shown them upon entering the city.

His posture was crooked, his face expressed trouble, and his tone was harsh. It seemed this fellow, whose strength was no greater than Alice's, was deeply trusted by the lord, hence his attitude.

"How did you come?"

A question without any courtesy came out of her mouth, but Alice seemed quite familiar with this kind of treatment. She said with a faint expression and tone:

"I'm here to report on the prison inspection."

"Oh? Then go in by yourself. Remember to be careful with your words when you go in."

The guard pointed inside, not with a gesture, but by raising his chin, telling the two to go in.

Alice winked at Lin Yinxi, signaling him to hold on, and then dismounted. Lin Yinxi also dismounted and walked past the guard.

"Wait a minute, who's this guy next to you?"

Lin Yinxi originally thought that he just had to be a quiet passerby, but the guard pointed at him with his chin and asked a blunt question.

"He's a newcomer to the Knights."

"Newcomer? Hahaha, and you're kicked out within a day? Haven't you learned your lesson yet?"

The guard scoffed, and Alice silently tied the reins to the tree.

When they had crossed the garden and were far enough away to no longer hear the guard's sneer, he whispered in Alice's ear:

"Does this happen often?"

Even in the game, if you talk to the NPCs in the mansion when the lord's plot has not progressed much, you will generally get a harsh and rude response, but it will not be as serious as it is now.

"You should get used to it. The longer you stay in our order without being kicked out, the more you'll hear such remarks."

Alice answered calmly. Her tone was not filled with irritation or anger, but rather a tone of helplessness that bordered on despair.

From this moment on, all the way until he entered the manor and was told to wait in the reception room, Lin Yinxi could keenly feel how badly the Knights of the Silver Dawn were treated.

He didn't know what the problem was, but it was definitely worse than in the game.

In the game, it felt like the servants looked down on the player but still did their job, but now it feels like they can't even be bothered to do the bare minimum.

He didn't know how much time had passed, but just when he almost thought they had been left in the living room and forgotten, a group of women in maid outfits suddenly appeared and set out various refreshments on the empty table.

"The lord is here."

Of course, the refreshments were not for them, but for the lord who would come in next.

When Lin Yinxi heard the sound of someone coming in, he raised his head, finally hoping to see the lord's face.

'......OMG.'

He was shocked at the lord's appearance, which was uglier than he had imagined.

The lord in front of him was not only covered in fat, but the fat also spread from his body all the way to his face, covering his facial features. His body was extremely obese. Lin Yinxi didn't know how he did it, and moved forward with that body.

This was the first time in his life that he had seen a human whose body length and width seemed almost the same.

Although he wanted to praise the lord for walking in on his own two feet instead of rolling on the floor, he doubted whether the lord's knee joints were still intact after walking around like that.

"Although he's fat in the game, it's not to this extent."

The lord staggered in, sat on the sofa, and took a long breath. The seat sank under him, and the first thing he did after sitting down was to eat the snacks on the table.

It was not until he heard the smacking sound for a long time and then let out a long burp that the lord opened his mouth.

"Well, back, Alice."

“…Yes, as you said, I inspected the prison.”

Despite the conflict, Alice addressed the lord with the honorific "you," perhaps because he was of royal descent. In fact, Alice's expression was unusually grim when she used honorifics.

"Report it."

"Including the prisoners and guards, all the humans in the prison except one were attacked by the monsters. When I arrived there, it had already happened, so there was no time to take any action."

"Tsk, that's why I told you to be prepared. I don't understand why you didn't listen to me."

Hmm, so you were the one who lured that monster over there, right?

Lin Yinxi snorted inwardly. He understood the entire situation. It was the Lord who had lured the human butcher into the prison, and now he was pretending to have foresight. It was pure nonsense.

"Is the man next to you the only survivor in the prison?"

However, the lord who played politics in the palace remained calm. He glanced at Lin Yinxi and immediately realized his identity.

Alice nodded.

"Yes."

The lord seemed to be thinking about something. He picked up a handful of snacks on the table, chewed them, glanced at Alice, and gestured for her to leave.

Alice was a little overwhelmed.

"Get out, Alice."

"What? But—"

"I told you to get out, and you're going to disobey the royal order?"

"..."

Alice looked at Lin Yinxi with an uneasy look, but it made no sense. She rubbed her lips, lowered her head, closed the door, and walked outside.

It was really unexpected that such a situation occurred from the first meeting.

Well, from Lin Yinxi's point of view, it doesn't matter, because in order to kill the lord, one needs to go through such an event at least once.

In the game, you can have private talks with the lord starting from the third meeting. If you can advance the progress now, it would be a blessing because he wants to end this matter quickly.

When only the two of them were left, the lord arrogantly leaned his arms on the back of the sofa and put his feet on the table, showing a very contemptuous attitude towards Lin Yinxi.

Well, from the lord's perspective, Lin Yinxi is a prisoner in prison, so it is natural for him to behave like this.

After all, would a guy who even the Knight Commander looked down upon look down upon a mere prisoner?

In fact, considering that the personalities of the people in the entire house have become more rebellious than in the game, he is not surprised.

"Hey you."

018. Conversation with the Lord

"Yes, Lord."

"You said you were in prison, right?"

"Yes."

"You only managed to survive after meeting Alice?"

"Yes."

"Did you have any conflicts with that order, or quarrel with anyone in it?"

"No."

Considering the options that appeared in the game, Lin Yinxi chose an answer that would allow the conversation to continue.

The lord nodded consciously and pondered for a moment.

"Why were you in jail?"

After confirming that the lord had asked the expected questions, he smiled inwardly. Anyway, things seemed to be going quite smoothly.

"Why were you imprisoned in that place? It should be the same reason you think, Lord."

"Hmm, I see..."

Lin Yinxi deliberately gave a smile that seemed as despicable as possible.

Having come this far, the grave digging was essentially complete. Now, all he had to do was prepare the burial objects, place them in the grave for this guy to see, and then ask him to enter the grave.

The lord, once again in distress, finally spoke.

"Are you interested in women?"
