[Announcement]

Due to feedback from players in recent days that there is not enough time in the dungeons, this system has calculated the progress of each player and found that the time arrangement is indeed inadequate.

Therefore, this system has decided to extend the duration of this copy operation from the original 15 days to 30 days.

Following this change, the dungeon time will remain unchanged. We hope players can complete the dungeon challenge as soon as possible.

After announcing the news, the system disappeared.

Even when Shen Zhiyi secretly cursed at it, it didn't react.

It seems the system shouldn't interfere too much with things within the instance?

The system indicated that Shen Zhiyi had revealed the truth; it indeed could not interfere too much with the copy, but that did not mean it hadn't heard Shen Zhiyi scolding it.

After the dungeon ends, it will definitely punish Shen Zhiyi severely.

However, Shen Zhiyi is now grateful for the extra 15 days, otherwise they would not have been able to complete the assigned task at all.

Shen Zhiyi checked the task progress bar again.

Task 1: Collect Coral (7/10)

Task 2: Find the Goddess Blade.

Task 3: Submit a special snowflake to the NPC (6/10)

Task 4: Uncover the hidden truth of the island (In progress.)

Task Five: Help Wang Qianyu uncover the truth behind her disfigurement and help her regain her appearance.

"Let's find all the NPCs first. If we can't find them, let's check where the Lin family's territory is on the map."

Shen Zhiyi planned out what she needed to do that day, then left her room and went downstairs to go out.

As soon as she arrived on the first floor and passed the reception desk, the receptionist stared at her with a sinister look.

Shen Zhiyi glanced at her speechlessly, ignored her, and left the hotel.

As Shen Zhiyi left, a ruthless glint flashed in the receptionist's eyes. This woman cannot be allowed to live!

The receptionist silently considered the matter for a moment and quickly came up with a brilliant idea.

Central Town is very large, so Shen Zhiyi could only ask someone for directions.

After a lot of effort, we finally found the first NPC.

The first NPC seems to be a young lady from a wealthy family. She is strolling through the streets with someone, but she doesn't seem to be very satisfied with the items on the stalls.

The young lady casually fiddled with the items on the stall, as if she was looking for something.

"Is that all the trinkets you have at your stall? Nothing else?" the young lady asked, frowning.

The vendor smiled apologetically, "Yes, sir, I only sell these little trinkets, nothing else."

"Or what kind do you want? I'll go get some later and play around with it?"

The young lady is not so easily fooled.

She's been acting strangely these past couple of days; whenever she goes out, she just wants to look at these little trinkets, but none of them suit her taste, and she's getting really annoyed.

Shen Zhiyi observed for a moment before taking the special snowflake forward.

"Hello, I have a little something here, I don't know if you'd like it?" Shen Zhiyi put the special snowflake in her palm and held it out to the young lady.

The young lady glanced at it casually, then was immediately drawn to it. "Hey! What's this?"

"Are those snowflakes? How beautiful!" The young lady was pleasantly surprised. "The weather isn't cold at all, yet we can see snowflakes!"

Shen Zhiyi smiled and explained, "Because this is a special snowflake; what's special about it is that it doesn't melt."

The young lady immediately took a liking to it and asked, "How much is this snowflake? Name your price!"

Shen Zhiyi shook her head, "It's free, you can have it."

Shen Zhiyi placed the special snowflake into the young lady's hand and then turned to leave.

"Huh?" The young lady was completely bewildered by Shen Zhiyi's actions. She just... gave it to her? For free?

The young lady glanced at Shen Zhiyi, who had walked away, and then at the special snowflake in her hand, unsure of what to say.

"Sir, would you like to see some more trinkets?" a vendor nearby asked.

The young lady snorted. Nothing on the stall attracted her. Besides, she had already found what she wanted, so why buy anything else?

"Let's stop watching, Apple, let's go home."

Shen Zhiyi, who had walked away, was checking her panel. She had already submitted the special snowflake quest to the NPC (7/10).

Shen Zhiyi wanted to complete this task within the day.

Continue searching for the next NPC.

Shen Zhiyi looked at the building in front of her, then at the documents in her hand. Was the information Dongli had given her really correct?

Is this a place she can even enter?

This place in front of us is the police station of Central Town.

Shen Zhiyi paused for a moment, then silently walked inside.

A female police officer approached Shen Zhiyi as she entered and asked, "Hello, may I ask what brings you here?"

"Um, I'd like to ask if anyone here needs special snowflakes?" Shen Zhiyi hesitated for a moment before asking.

The policewoman paused for a moment, then remembered the special snowflakes and quickly said, "Oh, I remember now, come with me."

The female police officer led the way, with Shen Zhiyi following behind.

She led Shen Zhiyi around a short distance and through a long corridor. She greeted someone in an office and took out a set of keys from the side.

"Let's go, it's just ahead." The policewoman pointed ahead to the place where prisoners were held.

Shen Zhiyi nodded without saying a word and followed behind the female police officer.

She opened the door and led Shen Zhiyi to a cell.

"008, someone's here to see you," the policewoman called out.

The figure on the bed in the cell stirred, climbed off the bed, and walked to the cell door with his head down.

The female police officer opened the door and led him out.

"Let's go." The female police officer handcuffed him and continued walking forward.

They soon arrived at an interrogation room.

The female police officer gestured for Shen Zhiyi to speak.

Shen Zhiyi nodded, sat down in front of the prisoner, took out the special snowflake, and placed it on the table in front of the prisoner.

The prisoner's previously unfocused gaze suddenly became fixed on the special snowflake on the table.

He spoke in a trembling voice, "Where...where did this come from?! How did you get this?!"

"Where did you get these snowflakes from?!"

"Where is she? Tell me where she is!"

The prisoner stared intently at Shen Zhiyi, his face contorted with rage and his expression somewhat crazed.

Shen Zhiyi was caught off guard and startled by the prisoner's agitation.

At that moment, several lines of text appeared above the prisoner's head.

The special snowflake was the prisoner's wife's beloved possession and a token of their love. She wore it year-round and never took it off.

His wife was pregnant before he went to prison.

My wife once said that the special snowflakes would never leave her; if they ended up in someone else's hands, it meant something bad had happened.

Shen Zhiyi pursed her lips.

"I don't know, I'm just here to deliver special snowflakes."
