Coming to Kill?

Lu Xiu thought and thought, but still couldn't come up with a solution.

The main problem is a lack of understanding of the replication logic. The system inexplicably pops up a window with something that seems important but is completely incomprehensible.

How could there possibly be a clue?

The system said it was wrong, but only it knows whether it was wrong or not.

The system might cause trouble itself—and she could end up being blamed for it.

"Fine, just don't blow up the dungeon completely—"

Lu Xiu withdrew her gaze, deciding not to dwell on it since she couldn't figure it out, and put it out of her mind. She then turned to look at the other data orbs of the dungeon floating in mid-air.

There are no problems with these things, they are operating smoothly, it's just that it's been hanging there all alone above the Construction Space, which is a bit of a headache.

Is this the original data? But it can't be updated after the official release of the game, right?

Lu Xiu then raised a new question.

But clearly, no one could answer her question.

The deeper you delve, the more questions you find.

Lu Xiu breathed a sigh of relief, and could only put the relevant thoughts out of her mind again. Then she brought up the System Panel and went to the forum.

Speaking of which----

There seems to be a problem with the new dungeon. How are the players doing? Did something go wrong while clearing the [Witch] dungeon?

only.

To Lu Xiu's surprise, there was no discussion about dungeon anomalies on the forum; instead, it was all about the dungeon storyline and posts from players who had broken through the defenses.

"----The players have already figured it out?"

Lu Xiu was somewhat surprised when she saw the posts on the forum about players breaking down.

But she quickly realized, "That's normal—after all, the hints I left in my diary and supplementary notes were quite obvious; anyone with eyes could see them."

As for the player breaking through the defense.

She was used to it—breaking through defenses was also part of this dungeon. Next, the players entered the dungeon with the hope of turning the tide.

Whether you feel powerless when you realize you can't change the situation or feel thrilled when you find a way to reverse it, it's a good thing because both are strong emotional impacts. According to the hidden reward rules of the dungeon, this should allow players to receive good rewards.

Of course, reversing the ending is quite difficult, so it all depends on the player's skill.

Lu Xiu wasn't interested in the player's defense-breaking process at the moment; she was more interested in the Resentment skill posted by players on the forum—it really was a super glass cannon!

"----Is this the kind of skill that gets you rewarded when you realize everything is beyond repair and rebel in anger?"

Looking at that skill, which is extreme yet full of numerical beauty.

Lu Xiu thought to herself, "I feel like I could go in and farm one for fun too."

Whether she'll run the dungeon she created a second time depends mainly on whether she's interested in the dungeon's completion rewards.

At this moment, Lu Xiu was undoubtedly very interested in the skill reward that dropped from the [Witch] dungeon.

Swipe it!

I want to be One-Punch Man too.

As Lu Xiu pondered this, she excitedly opened the dungeon database, preparing to re-enter the [Witch] dungeon.

However.

Just as she clicked the "Enter Dungeon" button with great anticipation...

----A pop-up window appeared.

The system refused her access outright.

[The Dungeon Architect has made their decision. To avoid unforeseen changes, the system has temporarily revoked your access to the official version of this dungeon.]

[Request to enter the instance has been rejected.]

"----ha?"

Lu Xiu looked at the pop-up window in front of her, immediately reached out and pushed it aside, then clicked to enter again. "Wait, what does this mean? I created this instance myself, and now you won't let me in?"

And!

How can this be interpreted as someone who's a jinx? To avoid bringing about unforeseen changes, does that mean we need to guard against her, the Architect of this dungeon, like a thief?

Unconvinced, Lu Xiu raised her hand again and pressed the entry button several times with her slender white fingers.

But the system was clearly unresponsive.

They said they wouldn't let us in, and they meant it.

No matter how many times I try, I can't get in.

"You're ruthless."

Lu Xiu was speechless with anger.

She found that nothing she tried worked, and somewhat frustrated, she brought up the System Panel and exited the Construction Space.

A flash of Bai Guang followed.

Lu Xiu appeared beside the sofa in her living room.

But that feeling of frustration didn't dissipate at all upon returning to reality.

Lu Xiu stood there, lost in thought.

This is not a good thing!

It's not because I couldn't get that skill with the most powerful stats.

Lu Xiu has one more skill, but one less skill won't make a difference.

The main reason was that the subtle yet increasingly obvious sense of being noticed made her somewhat worried.

Previously, Lu Xiu could barely accept it, even with the extremely conspicuous Title [Goddess's Blade] above her head, she only regarded it as compensation for taking back her right to set the price of the dungeon.

But as time goes by, the situation seems to be quietly undergoing a qualitative change.

She vaguely sensed that she was attracting more and more attention from the system.

The system promoted the new instance across the entire Nine Provinces.

Not long ago, there was that inexplicable pop-up window.

There are also seemingly insignificant details, such as the system allowing her to change the color of her hairband.

Just now, the system refused her entry into its constructed instance, citing the need to avoid bringing about unknown changes.

All of these are considered special treatment.

Special treatment often means special attention.

As one of the countless players in the vast world of Nine Provinces, even if she has some ability and attracts attention, she shouldn't deserve such special scrutiny.

This is how you get attention----

If a system operates strictly according to the rules, then that can be considered a good thing.

But there's a goddess standing behind the system.

Lu Xiu had even seen it.

That wouldn't be a good thing.

Because she has some shady, hidden flaws.

From the very beginning, she was able to perfectly preserve her memories when performing copy verification.

To date, the system has neither issued any warnings about this bug nor fixed it.

Lu Xiu had actually prepared herself for the possibility of being discovered and then restricted, since if she were just an unknown person, this kind of bug might be able to hide peacefully indefinitely.

However, if it remains under the spotlight of intense scrutiny and constantly examined by the system, Lu Xiu believes that this originally hidden bug will eventually be exposed.

However, no matter whether Lu Xiu deliberately revealed a flaw in the dungeon or cleared it flawlessly.

The system showed no response whatsoever.

It will then make sarcastic remarks about her in the level completion evaluation section.

Lu Xiu can be really absent-minded sometimes!

What does that mean?

This so-called system didn't detect anything at all?

Or was it done intentionally?

The destructive power she's currently displaying, or rather, the malicious copies she's created, are exactly what the system wanted? Is her value far greater than the necessity of fixing this bug?

Or is it simply too absurd that her memories can't be stripped away? Even the system can't be sure? Or is it the goddess's doing?

"----Forget it, we'll deal with whatever comes our way."

Lu Xiu's thoughts became increasingly complicated and scattered.

She quickly stopped herself from doing so, exhaled softly, and forcibly suppressed the increasingly dangerous speculations in her mind.

Overthinking is pointless.

Whatever that high and mighty goddess is thinking, at least for now, she doesn't seem to have much malice, and the system is offering her more conveniences than restrictions.

Since we can't resist this attention for the time being, we can only make use of our existing advantages to strengthen ourselves as much as possible—continue Constructed Instance and continue to obtain good rewards.

This is the only way right now.

After all, it's impossible to confirm whether the goddess is also constantly watching her.

You can't just call someone "Little Goddess" and then check if they're even paying attention to you, can you?

Yeah, don't say it.

Lu Xiu recalled the phantom of a goddess who only reached her chest, wore a gorgeous dress, was barefoot, and had long, deep red hair that reached her ankles with slightly curled ends, like a solidified flame.

I'm really tempted!

Lu Xiu remained silent for a moment, though her reason was frantically warning her not to do it.

But clearly, sometimes a person's mouth is faster than their brain.

"----Little dwarf."

The air was silent for a few seconds.

Nothing happened.

Lu Xiu blinked, then continued, both timid and courageous, "Little goddess."

The moment the words left his mouth.

Bang bang bang!

The knocking came out of nowhere!

Lu Xiu suddenly jolted, her shoulders hunched, and her beautiful eyes widened.

They're here to kill us?!

The goddess has really arrived?!

However, she quickly realized that she had made a foolish mistake.

She shook her head, went to the entryway, and flung Open Gate.

Sure enough, the woman standing outside the door wasn't some little devil goddess with ankle-length hair at all.

Instead, it was Shen Nian and Jian Li.

Shen Nian put on that long black and white maid outfit again, with the white ribbon in her hair swaying slightly.

Jian Li was still wearing a pleated skirt with a shirt, her two long, fair legs radiating youthful energy.

Seeing Lu Xiu Open Gate, Shen Nian subconsciously took a step forward.

"Hello----"

Shen Nian originally wanted to say to Lu Xiu, "You're so cruel! This new dungeon is such a rip-off."

But.

When her gaze was completely focused on Lu Xiu, the words caught in her throat.

Lu Xiu was casually dressed in a loose white T-shirt and a pair of refreshing denim shorts, showing off her fair, shapely, and straight legs. Most importantly, she was wearing her hair in two low ponytails for the day, the two ponytails hanging softly over her shoulders. Combined with her slightly panicked expression when she Open Gate, the effect was quite striking.

Especially given the strong emotional impact of the instance she had just created.

This striking contrast instantly shattered Shen Nian's resentment.

then.

Shen Nian's resentful words, "You're so cruel," were replaced by, "You're so... cute."

Lu Xiu:

What is this person saying?

Just as Lu Xiu was completely puzzled...

Shen Nian looked her up and down, and the more he looked, the more amazed he became.

Lu Xiu couldn't hold back any longer. "No, what are you doing here?"

Shen Nian suddenly realized what was happening and was about to speak.

A gentle breeze came from behind me.

Next.

Jian Li suddenly walked past her and went straight to Lu Xiu, then reached out and touched Lu Xiu's soft pigtails that were draped over her shoulders.

Shen Nian:

Lu Xiu:

She looked at Jian Li, who was gently pinching her ponytail. Perhaps because of her previous experience as a confidante, she hesitated for a moment but didn't immediately slap her hand away. Instead, she stared at the two of them with a black line on her face. "Wait, what are you two doing here?!"
