Background / History

Screaming Night

Li Yueqiu begins the assessment instance as the occupant of Room 203. She joins Zuo Cheng'an in helping Zheng Ren survive a Hunter attack, but overusing Double Kick leaves her suffering severe cramps. A remaining fragment of Zheng Ren's healing gummy restores her. She admits that she helped partly because she feared nobody would rescue her when her own turn came 5 6.

When the survivors discover that Hunters attack rooms in numerical order, Li Yueqiu realizes that Room 203 is next. Zuo Cheng'an shelters her in Room 204 to test whether changing rooms can evade the attack. The Hunter destroys her empty room's door, while she survives unharmed. She subsequently takes shelter with He Jinmei in Room 208 6 7.

During the survivors' coordinated battle, Li Yueqiu fights beside Zuo Cheng'an despite Liu Shuang's refusal to leave his room. Her Double Kick removes 20% of one Hunter's health, and she later jams her axe into its mouth to prevent it from biting Zuo Cheng'an 9.

After Liu Shuang's betrayal, she supplies Zhao Chengyuan with the key to Room 208, allowing him to throw Liu Shuang inside. She later joins the surviving players in defeating the remaining Hunters and clearing the assessment 10 11.

Safe Zone 7

After the assessment, Li Yueqiu sleeps on bedding in Safe Zone 7's park and befriends nearby players. She lends the penniless Zheng Ren one point to buy bedding and asks Aunt Xu to watch their belongings when they leave for another instance 38.

Li Yueqiu adds Zuo Cheng'an as a friend and asks him to take her on his next run after seeing that he has reached the First Heavenly Ladder. She has not entered another instance since the beginner assessment. Before their departure, she shares her skill and attribute information with him 32 39.

Sunny Resort

Li Yueqiu agrees to enter the uncleared level-two Sunny Resort, attracted by its advertised jungle scenery and cultural activities. Before entering the game, travel promotions and bloggers had given her a romanticized view of folk-culture tourism, although she had never had the opportunity to travel herself 40.

On the cliffside sightseeing journey, she follows Zuo Cheng'an's instructions to make a safety tether from her clothes. Using his borrowed Little Flying Stone, she kills a Mountain Monkey and receives Willow Branch. She also catches Mo Dou when his attack nearly carries him over the cliff. A leg wound sustained during the fighting is healed with Zuo Cheng'an's tomato juice 42 43 45.

During the larger monkey assault, Li Yueqiu and Mo Dou defend one side of the vehicle without allowing a breakthrough. She also finds opportunities to support Zheng Ren with ranged throws. Their effectiveness declines as the prolonged fighting exhausts them 47.

At Sunny Village, familiar clothing and human faces move her to tears, and she readily accepts the Smoking Ceremony. Zheng Ren's warning prompts her to notice the villagers' identical expressions and unnatural behavior, overturning her initial sense of reassurance 47 48.

Appearance

Li Yueqiu is described as pretty, with clear, innocent eyes and a well-behaved manner 5 38.

• School uniform: Wears a loose, short-sleeved student top and a knee-length skirt 42.
• Improvised travel clothing: Tears fabric from her skirt and shirt to make a safety rope, leaving her top cropped above the waist 42.

Personality

Li Yueqiu is friendly, sweet-tongued, and openly appreciative of help. She quickly befriends other park residents, praises those who shelter her, and enthusiastically flatters Zuo Cheng'an after he agrees to take her into another dungeon 7 32 38.

Her kindness coexists with ordinary self-preservation. She acknowledges that helping Zheng Ren was partly an investment in receiving help herself, yet still risks injury in combat and lends him money when he is destitute. Zuo Cheng'an considers her trustworthy: capable of small selfish wishes, but unlikely to act maliciously 5 32 38.

She can be naïve without being incapable of reassessment. Familiar-looking villagers initially make her think of borrowing a phone to call the police, but Zheng Ren's warning helps her recognize their disturbing artificiality. She also shows discretion when she realizes that Zuo Cheng'an may possess a large supply of valuable healing medicine, choosing not to reveal her discovery 45 47 48.

Abilities & Skills

Double Kick

Li Yueqiu's offensive skill delivers two powerful kicks in one activation 9.

• Requirement: Constitution 7 is needed for proper use 6 39.
• Early drawback: At Constitution 5, one use causes cramps, muscle strain, and shaking legs. Repeated forced use risks tendon damage or permanent disability 6 9.
• Demonstrated damage: Both kicks together remove 20% of a Hunter's health during the beginner assessment 9.
• Improved potential: After her attribute increase, Zuo Cheng'an estimates that the same attack might remove as much as 50% of a Hunter's health; this is an estimate, not a demonstrated result 39.
• Cooldown: Becomes available again after ten minutes 46.

Combat Support

Li Yueqiu remains useful beyond her main skill's brief burst of damage 9 46 47.

• Blocks a Hunter's bite by forcing her axe into its mouth 9.
• Uses Little Flying Stone to assist teammates from another defensive position 47.
• Coordinates kicks with Mo Dou's ramming attacks to keep Mountain Monkeys out of the vehicle 47.
• Her ranged effectiveness diminishes as her stamina runs low 47.

Equipment / Weapons / Items

• Hand axe — Used during the beginner assessment, including to hold a Hunter's jaws open 9.
• Little Flying Stone — A white-grade item borrowed from Zuo Cheng'an. Automatically returns after being thrown; its attack power and range depend on the user's arm strength. Li Yueqiu uses it to puncture a Mountain Monkey's throat air sac. Zuo Cheng'an lets her continue using it after she obtains her own item 43 45 46.
• Willow Branch — A green-grade drop from a Mountain Monkey, originating from the level-four Miasma Forest instance. Can whip enemies or point toward something whose name and appearance the user imagines. It cannot locate items above its own grade, and its search function has a long cooldown 45 46.
• Improvised cloth tether — Made from her uniform to secure herself to the sightseeing vehicle 42.

Relationships

• Zuo Cheng'an — Trusted teammate and stronger player whom she asks to lead her through another instance. He shelters her, lends her a weapon, treats her injury, and values her support in combat 7 32 43 45 46.
• Zheng Ren — Fellow assessment survivor and teammate. She helps save him and later lends him money; he supplies bandaging material for her injury and warns her against trusting Sunny Village's inhabitants 5 38 45 48.
• He Jinmei — Shelters Li Yueqiu in Room 208. Li Yueqiu repays her gentleness by intervening when Zheng Ren's joke embarrasses her 7 9.
• Mo Dou — Combat partner during the Mountain Monkey attacks. He knocks an attacking monkey away from her, she saves him from falling, and they later defend the vehicle together 45 47.
• Zhang Zhuang — Rival player angered when her stone secures a Mountain Monkey kill and its loot. He mistakenly believes her group belongs to the Dawn Moon Guild; this is not a confirmed affiliation 45 46.
