A Rising Star in the Hundred-Person Secret Realm? / A Choice That Means Nothing

In this lawless, cannibalistic world, even though Mu Xi plays the role of a guardian of humanity and a peacemaker, she still has her own bottom line.

If she's really unhappy, she won't let certain people have it easy.

"Don't just stand there. You guys also need to pay your share. It's 1,500 points in total, pay it all at once, or you'll have to stay and work."

Well--

Nan Muya and Ling Lexuan exchanged a glance, both seeing the helplessness in each other's eyes.

As expected, consequences were unavoidable.

As members of the Fate Girls, they were already aware of this.

After all, they themselves steal other people's points in the same way...

But wow...

It's definitely not that ruthless!

Five hundred at a time?

That's enough for a Low Tier girl to earn for several months, not even counting what she lost...

That's right, we're talking about them!

Ling Lexuan's eyes were filled with glistening tears, and she looked utterly aggrieved. She and Nan Muya obediently handed over the protection money, thus avoiding a severe beating.

Nan Muya turned her face away and saw that the little girl's tears were about to fall, looking pitiful and pathetic. She didn't know how to comfort her, so she could only pat her little head. (???)ノ(._.`)

Le Xuan, you should know that you can earn points again if you lose them, but if you are really attacked and someone tries to forcibly take them away, then you really won't have a chance, and you might be squeezed dry of every last bit!

Nan Muya has a good older sister who is a High-Rank Astral Mark Girl. Not long ago, she gave her a lot of points, so these few hundred points don't have much of an impact on her.

Ke Ling Lexuan hadn't been Astral Mark Girl for very long, and she didn't know how important these points were to the young girl.

Ling Lexuan had spent a long time preparing for this secret realm trip, often inviting friends to team battles and earn points whenever she had free time. But now it's all gone?

We've gone back to square one overnight.

Anyone would be upset in that situation!

And then there's her cousin Ling Yue's share too. If they split it equally, it's 750 each. She'll have to borrow another 250 from her sister Mu Ya to make it up!

Waaah~ Even God looks down on me now.

On the other hand, Mu Xi was quite satisfied with her gains today.

With over a thousand points, she could add a lot more rare materials to the shop without even needing to go out to buy them in the days that followed.

Sometimes, even when Shu Momo isn't around, you can directly exchange for Elf Tears in the Fate Mall.

This is very comfortable.

Chapter Seventy-Four: A Rising Star in the Hundred-Person Secret Realm?

Just then, the wind chimes rang, and another young woman, around twenty years old, with her hair piled high and looking like she was in her early twenties, walked in.

The woman wasn't very old, but she already had a mature figure and was quite pleasing to the eye. Her brows were full of excitement, as if she had discovered something, and she quickly called to her companions behind her to follow.

"Brother Zhang, this place is definitely different from other places. Those people must have come here!"

"By the way... have you guys noticed the air getting colder?"

A few scattered words came from behind, leaving Nan Muya and the others bewildered once again.

Someone actually dared to break in?!

And judging from the voices... it seems like there's more than one person?

Shu Momo lay on the platform, completely oblivious. But when she looked up and noticed her master's slightly off expression, she was actually quite amused.

She took the fried rice that Mu Xi had just brought down with her delicate hands and started eating it without any hesitation.

This is going to be interesting!

These people just need to be taught a lesson; they should readily admit their mistakes, but they're utterly unrepentant.

It's not like we haven't encountered people who come to the treehouse before, but most of them are Fate Girls responsible for clearing out monsters or full-time agents from the Special Affairs Bureau. Ordinary people are rarely seen.

Whenever this happens, Mu Xi has to educate them and then ask them to leave; she's no pushover.

"Huh? This wind..."

Just as Mu Xi was about to offer some advice to the new "guest," she sensed a strange atmosphere in the air and blinked thoughtfully.

But once this group of people entered, the atmosphere inside the store changed somewhat.

When the young woman noticed what was happening inside the store, she suddenly stopped in her tracks.

"Qiqi, why did you stop?" A bespectacled, well-mannered young man holding a camera asked. "Is there a problem? The area doesn't seem dangerous."

The girl called Qiqi looked slightly embarrassed, her eyelashes fluttering as she backed away. "No, there are people inside, let Brother Zhang speak..."

"Someone's there? How is that possible? Could it be those two Miss Star Engraving from before??"

"That's not all!!"

Hearing the sounds coming from not far away, Ling Yue frowned. Sure enough, those people had followed them in.

But wouldn't an ordinary person be courting death by going to this place?

Ling Lexuan and the others also looked a little strange upon hearing this. If they were to follow others into the depths of Ping'an Street like this, it would be no different from courting death, unless the other party discovered their identities.

Nan Muya raised her hand and brushed her thick, beautiful hair aside, feeling utterly exhausted.

I knew I shouldn't have come to this godforsaken place with Le Xuan. Wouldn't it have been much more fun to go to an amusement park? Wouldn't it have been much more fun to go to an amusement park??(???)

"So many people? Then please stand properly~" Mu Xi sighed helplessly, rubbing her forehead.

After the four people came in, they all heard her magical words and indeed stood in a row!

Two girls and two boys, judging from their attire, were all newspaper reporters, and they were all completely bewildered.

Who am I? Where am I? Why is my body moving on its own?

Seeing this, Ling Yue secretly smiled, his eyes filled with undisguised schadenfreude. They seemed to have just suffered a "small" loss, but now there was more excitement to watch.

The next second, with a "whoosh," he found himself involuntarily moving closer as well!

"Damn it, what's going on? Uh... miss, we've already made compensation, right? Why are you still coming??" Ling Yue was completely bewildered, and could only let her body move uncontrollably to join the queue, feeling utterly frustrated!

Mu Xi didn't answer. Her face still showed a thoughtful expression as she spoke softly, "The five of you, now look yourselves and see if there's anything different about yourselves, or anything at all."

The group of people, being controlled like this, were all sweating profusely. They roughly understood what kind of being they were dealing with, and had no choice but to obediently comply.

The one who can run rampant in this world is probably the legendary Magical Girls!

In particular, the "pressure" emanating from the other party is irresistible.

Ling Lexuan and Nan Muya watched from the side, equally curious.

There seemed to be a strange aura emanating from there just now. Could it be related to these people?

"Ah--!!"

As the girls were pondering, a terrified scream suddenly rang out in the store.

"Qi... Qiqi? Could it be that you also...?"

Several of her companions looked over; they had already noticed the problem, but they hadn't expected the woman's reaction to be so intense.

Qiqi seemed not to hear her companion's words. Her pretty face was deathly pale, her obsidian-like eyes were filled with blankness and terror, one hand covered her mouth, and her delicate body trembled uncontrollably.

"What... what is this??"

Whoosh--

Everyone's eyes followed the exquisite discount coupon that fell to the ground, and those who had found it on their person all looked extremely displeased.

"This... this might be the legendary entrance ticket to the supernatural realm..." a girl in a white bow tie and shirt said, her voice trembling slightly.

She was the only one of the five who didn't have one on her person.

They've been in this line of work for several years and have done related reporting and documentation, so they naturally know what the 'Secret Realm Scroll' received by the selected individuals means; they just don't want to admit it.

The problem is, none of these people were chosen, were they?

What kind of nonsense is this?

"Holy crap?! How come I have one too?!" Ling Yue felt something strange under his foot, bent down and grabbed it, and actually pulled out an admission ticket from his shoe!

Moreover, the four scrolls they held, neither too big nor too small, were clearly marked with the dungeon of the eerie secret realm: <Miss Ghost's Manor Life>, with a maximum of 100 participants.

"Puff..."

Seeing the panicked expressions on their faces, Mu Xi couldn't help but chuckle. She quickly raised her delicate hand and covered her mouth.

Surprisingly, I found it kind of funny? And I even laughed?

No, it couldn't be her fault. These people were just too funny; she simply couldn't help herself.

Never mind, it's fine.

Let's see if they dare to cause trouble again.

With this in mind, Mu Xi quickly adjusted her attitude.

After all, she's only a nineteen-year-old girl. She can only maintain this level of self-control. Although she really wants to learn from President Ling and be a perfect lady, sometimes she just can't help herself!

"Hehe--Auntie is so lucky, she has a 90% chance of escaping." Mu Xi put down her teacup, a gentle smile on her face, "I believe you all know the purpose of those entry tickets, right? Within three days, no matter where you are, the ticket will be used automatically. Even if you are not the chosen ones, you will be forced to participate in the dimensional dungeon and the Survival Challenge. You know, the probability of an ordinary person surviving in this kind of mysterious and eerie place is less than 5%. I wonder if any of you think you will be one of the 100 survivors?"

[img=500,774]htt [img=700,1420]htt I was affected by something, and my mental state isn't great. I'll adjust myself and try to update more later...~,,?^?,,

Chapter 75 A Meaningless Choice

Hiss--

As soon as the words were spoken, the group gasped in shock.

It wasn't that they thought Mu Xi was teasing them; it was mainly because the government does have Special Affairs Bureau agencies responsible for investigating and researching eerie and terrifying supernatural places, and these agencies compile average data.

But it's pretty much the same. Every time so many people go in, only one or two come out alive. Not to mention that they are all complete novices, at most just reporters from the Occult News Agency who have some knowledge of this kind of thing.

If you actually go in, it's a sure way to die!

"Please... please, Miss Witch, save us! Since you know about this, you must have a way to solve it, right?"

A man who looked to be around thirty years old stood there trembling, his face filled with extreme fear. This man was none other than Brother Zhang.

Finally, his legs gave way and he knelt on the ground.

His companions also looked rather grim; apart from the girl who had narrowly escaped, everyone else was ashen-faced.

Ling Yue gritted his teeth, thinking that he was a Second-Tier Martial Artist after all. Apart from feeling a bit unlucky, he didn't seem too flustered.

How could someone from a prominent family be intimidated by such a trivial matter?

What kind of international joke is this?

It's decided, I'm going to go in and smash that place to pieces!

"Don't worry, cousin, we're here for you!!" Ling Lexuan patted her budding chest confidently.

Although she lost some points because of her cousin, there was nothing she could do about it. She'd already lost them all, so what was a little more? She could always earn them back later.

Watching the two people singing and responding to each other, Shu Momo felt a strange sense of drama, which she found quite amusing.

I took a bite of the fragrant fried rice with eggs, paired with a small bottle of sweet and delicious red date yogurt, and waited to see what my chef would do next.

Mu Xi turned her head and witnessed this scene, leaving her speechless.

What kind of nonsense is this little girl thinking now?

"Alright, let's stick to the usual rules. Leave your tickets here, each of you sign a guarantee, and I'll handle it." A faint smile appeared on Mu Xi's gentle and charming face; she had decided to continue playing the good Samaritan.
