Fireworks of Romance: I Want Cat, Rabbit, and Fox Ears! (Chaos)

The incident occurred in the early morning.

As dawn broke, the torrential rain that had been pouring down all night finally stopped, and the thick layer of raindrops that had clung to the windows all night had disappeared without anyone noticing.

In this perilous situation, few people could truly sleep, let alone Bai Zhi, who had spent the entire night exploring the hotel with his Shadow Guard and Shadow Puppet.

This was a long, sleepless night.

The one sleeping the best among everyone was actually a certain Panties, which were heavily isolated...

As dawn finally arrived, exhausted from a sleepless night, Fireworks of Romance got up to wash her face in the bathroom to refresh herself. She then inadvertently saw her reflection in the mirror... and froze, completely dumbfounded.

--On her forehead, which was covered by her bangs, a small face was slowly taking shape, and the most basic facial features were already faintly visible.

Because it had been covered by her bangs, and the hotel's Power System was damaged and the Lights Fireworks of Romance dim, she herself didn't know when the thing had grown out. However, judging from the outline of the face that had already revealed its features, it probably had grown out last night.

"... Crimson King?"

Bai Zhi reached up and touched his chin, looking thoughtfully at the Fireworks of Romance surrounded by people who looked like they wanted to cry but couldn't.

"I think it looks just like it too. Now we don't need any props for cosplay."

Still wearing those hands, OriginDeficit nodded with a slightly strange expression.

"If you could change the color scheme and use red instead..."

"Enough! Don't you think you're focusing on the wrong thing?!"

Interrupting OriginDeficit's words, Fireworks of Romance appeared quite frantic.

"Isn't this the time to discuss that? Shouldn't you be focusing on how to handle this kind of situation?!"

"It's just a face, what does it matter? Even if you're in a worse situation, can you be as miserable as those two over there?"

Standing to one side with his arms crossed and leaning against the wall, Li Tong curled his lip in disgust.

"You should be grateful that you have a face on your forehead, not a cow's head; that would be truly tragic."

"..."

--After hearing Li Tong's words, Fireworks of Romance's face immediately turned green.

While the standard medical room at S-rank Station guarantees you'll be healed even if you're just a head, as long as you survive, the psychological damage is irreparable...

"Dorae-Black&White-mon, you wouldn't just stand by and watch someone die, would you?"

Turning her head, she looked at Bai Zhi with Fireworks of Romance eyes, placing all her hopes on him.

If she grew eyes on her forehead, she could impersonate Erlang Shen; if she grew a human face, she could cosplay as the Crimson King; but if it really happened like that jerk said... she felt it was better to commit suicide as soon as possible to prove her innocence. https://m. hetushu. com. com

"Does having this growth on your head have any impact on you?"

After coughing a few times, Bai Zhi shifted his gaze from the small face on the other person's forehead and looked at them.

What changes have occurred in its own attributes?

"No, there's been no change at all."

As if grasping at a straw, he hurriedly opened the Attribute Panel to take a look, and Fireworks of Romance shook his head.

"All attributes are normal, and my Sanity Value shows no signs of decreasing."

"So it won't have any impact. At most, it'll just make you look a little ugly. Anyway, you'll be back in a day and a half. You can just go to the Infirmary inside the Station for treatment then, right?"

After yawning, Li Tong began to speak again.

"It's probably some kind of Curse. Physical mutated is the most common type; some people experience an increase in the size of their bodies, while others experience a change in their physical Trait. There's a Rubber Person in the Relevant Department whose Life is incredibly strong. Recently, he's even developed Luffy, mimicking One Piece from One Piece..."

"Try any Skill that consumes Spiritual Energy."

After thinking for a moment, Bai Zhi began to speak.

"Skill? Uh... is this okay?"

Decisively ignoring the glib-tongued guy, after thinking for a moment, Fireworks of Romance controlled a Chopsticks to fly up.

"How much Spiritual Energy was consumed?"

"This level is easy, just a little Spiritual Energy, it'll recover quickly...!"

"Tell me when you've recovered the little bit of Spiritual Energy you used up."

Seeing the changes in the other person's expression, Bai Zhi immediately understood.

He shook his head slightly and casually tossed a black strip of cloth over for the other person to tie up over their forehead... It wasn't exactly scary, but it was definitely ugly.

Does the physical mutated mean a decrease in the rate of Spiritual Energy recovery?

Having also understood something, West Pavilion Gardener frowned slightly.

"Absorbing Spiritual Energy and suppressing Spiritual Energy regeneration rate—I finally understand why the Player in this world were wiped out."

They are ultimately different from the Player of this world because they are outsiders. When they are trapped in the True Dream World, their bodies do not exist in this world, but the Player of this world are different.

Their consciousness has entered True Dream World, while their bodies still exist in the Real World. The effects of the physical changes will directly impact them.

Sanity Value is plummeting, Spiritual Energy is being drained, and the Spiritual Energy regeneration rate simply can't keep up... Is it really that hard to get wiped out?

"It's not just suppressing it, it might be directly preventing the recovery of Spiritual Energy. Every bit used is a bit less, and it can't be replenished at all."

Bai Zhi shook his head.

"In that case, our situation may become even more difficult."

"But we were together all along, so why is it that only her body underwent the strange change?"

Realizing the seriousness of the situation, Chang Xi spoke up, somewhat puzzled.

"If we don't figure this out, some of us might experience physical mutations next. I don't want anything like... uh, a face growing on my body."

"Let's find common ground."

With a slight shrug, Bai Zhi glanced at Li Changyu and a certain Panties over there.

"The common thread between the two of them is that they were both injured. By that logic, Fireworks of Romance should be the same. Considering the timing of her mutation and the size of the face that grew on her forehead, her injury shouldn't be too serious, otherwise it wouldn't have taken so long to show... It's probably just a minor scratch, like a small cut on the finger?"

"A superficial wound... that washbasin!!"

After a slight pause, Fireworks of Romance quickly realized what was going on.

"When I snatched that basin earlier, my finger got pricked by one of the barbs on the rim, which caused it to slip from my hand and knock out that Panties!!"

A pair of Panties that had just woken up. "???"
