Chapter 27 Cocoon Village bestows upon you a hundred years of sorrow for your westward departure, and answers my call for a thousand miles of spring to come eastward…

The entire body of the White Bone Scholar also transformed into a pure white light mixed with a few wisps of emerald green.

Like a migratory bird that flies away and then returns, the fleeting light flew back to Yu Naixin's side.

Four mahjong tiles with white bones as the base and jade characters carved on them appeared out of thin air in front of her.

Yu Naixin: "...?!"

So the White Bone Scholar really did have the skill of carving mahjong tiles?

I feel like I've asked the same question a hundred and eighty times in this live stream, but I still want to ask it again—what's going on this time?!

[It seems the skeleton has fused all its spiritual power with the magical artifact it wields?]

[If a guest in a dungeon is won over to 100% favorability by a guest from another show, shouldn't they just die when that guest leaves the dungeon? How could this skeleton pull such a stunt?!]

Did the female guest do something again, without me even noticing?!

[I checked back out, and the live stream has already climbed to the top of the popularity charts! Holy crap, the number of simultaneous viewers is terrifying!]

[With so many people here, does anyone actually know how mahjong works?!]

Yu Naixin reached out and took the item, then used her mind to open the system's light screen interface and saw the corresponding item description.

[(Jade White Bone Mahjong Set): A special magical artifact, already bound to guest "Yu Naixin" as its sole user.]

The second sword-shaped icon in the upper left corner of the screen unlocks at the same time, displaying its official name, "Weapons and Items Bar".

Yu Naixin's eyes widened slightly.

She thought she would buy her first supernatural weapon from the upgraded system shop, but unexpectedly someone gave her one first.

It wasn't in vain that she spent so much time and effort maintaining the space of Cocoon Village, so that the White Bone Scholar would have time to reach outside of Cocoon Village.

Yu Naixin has learned from the Mountain God's authority that if she were to relinquish her identity as the Mountain God, she could end the show directly, but the entire show venue would completely collapse and be annihilated in a way that was even more thorough than the villagers and buildings before her.

Yu Naixin was determined to see things through to the end. She wasn't prepared to only fulfill half of her promise, so she decided to persevere a little longer.

However, to Yu Naixin's surprise, the White Bone Scholar's body began to disintegrate the moment he stepped out of Cocoon Village.

If it weren't for the fact that he was giving her these four mahjong tiles, Yu Naixin had no doubt that the White Bone Scholar would have truly turned to ashes from head to toe.

...Just how many rules does this lousy production team have that she still doesn't know?

As the jade-white mahjong set landed in Yu Naixin's palm, Yu Naixin showed a slightly surprised expression. The paper doll boy next to her suddenly seemed to have been inspired by something.

His clear black and white eyes suddenly shone with an astonishing brightness, and the paper boy's body suddenly burst forth with a dazzling light, before his entire body transformed into a pale streak of light.

The light circled around Yu Naixin several times, and the paper doll boy's voice, full of affection and infatuation, rang out: "If Miss Yu cannot stay with me forever, then I will stay with Miss Yu!"

"I want to be with Miss Yu forever!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the pale light, like a puppy that had finally found its owner, pounced on Yu Naixin.

A tiny paper dog, no bigger than the palm of a hand, stood quietly at Yu Naixin's feet.

The system screen also displayed the information.

[(Paper Puppy): A special magical artifact, already bound to guest "Yu Naixin" as its sole user.]

【?? Another one?! No, is this instance special or is this new female guest special? How come all these things I've never even heard of before are appearing like they're being sold in bulk?!】

[I remember now! If a guest on a dungeon develops too deep a feeling for a guest on the show, and crosses a certain threshold, it's possible for them to condense their entire body and spiritual power into a special spiritual artifact, directly binding it to that guest!]

[Yes, yes, that's it. However, the emotions that cross the threshold aren't limited to one type. If the hatred of the guest on the show goes too deep, the resulting artifact will be a relentless curse on the guest, a curse that will never end.]

[With more people in the live stream, it's clear there are knowledgeable people among them; I've learned a lot.]

[However, it's clear that both the skeleton and the paper doll have very positive feelings towards this female guest. Acquiring two powerful special magical artifacts at once—this guy is truly amazing!]

[Congratulations to the female guest on the show "Heartbeat 1000%"! You have received 15 Sweet Coins from a viewer with the ID "dududula"!]

So now the female guest, the skeleton, and the paper doll have a happy ending together? I love this ending!

[Congratulations to the female guest on the show "Heartbeat 1000%"! You have received 29 Sweet Coins from a viewer with the ID "Making life better together is better than anything else!"]

[Only the fox got hurt, huh? Hahahaha!]

The fox spirit priest's feelings at this moment can only be described as a mixture of emotions, extremely complicated.

The fact that the "Mountain God" does not exist was something the fox demon priest, as the lord of the Cocoon Village, had known for a long time.

As a result, right under his nose, Yu Naixin transformed into a mountain god.

The fox demon priest felt as if he had wasted all the hundreds of years of his life.

But upon reflection, everything was traceable. After the initial shock and astonishment, the fox spirit priest could only say "I admire you" to Yu Naixin.

He never even imagined that Yu Naixin would actually do it step by step.

This is a "miracle" in the literal sense.

The fox spirit priestess felt relieved.

He had suffered so many setbacks before, all at the hands of someone who had created miracles, so he wasn't that resentful.

With the mountain god in place, the fox demon priest, the domain lord, naturally became a mere figurehead.

The Mountain God's authority is completely overwhelming for the Domain Lord. Everything in the entire Cocoon Village will prioritize the Mountain God's rules, meaning that everything will disappear with Yu Naixin's departure.

The fox spirit priestess naturally belongs to this category as well.

The fox spirit priest was truly unhappy about silently accepting her fate of disappearing without any way to resist.

He would rather use all his spiritual power as a spear to try and break through the domain that he, as the master, had also firmly bound him!

However, after seeing the choices made by the white-boned scholar and the paper-doll boy, the fox demon priest had a new idea.

A desperate, all-out attack might just sink without a trace, serving no purpose other than providing a slight sense of relief. But if it could be transformed into a spiritual weapon and bound to Yu Naixin…

The fox spirit priest felt that she could truly show her more scenery.

Just as Yu Naixin was putting away the paper puppy, she was attacked by a white-golden streak of light.

This time, the fox demon priestess transformed into a magical artifact without even letting Yu Naixin see its appearance before it was added to her inventory.

【What?! What happened now? How did a domain lord become a special artifact for a powerful figure?!】

[Wait a minute, wait a minute, the fox demon's affection level for the female guest isn't even full yet, so why is he acting like this?!]

Domain Lords are already extremely rare, so the special spiritual artifacts created under such circumstances would only be even more extraordinary. Not to mention that the two have overlapped in an unprecedented way, so it's not surprising what happened... However, upon closer analysis, the main reason should be the special nature of Domain Lords.

[Holy crap, three powerful special props in one show, one of which is even at the Domain Lord level?!]

[Sweet girl boss, terrifyingly powerful!]

Yu Naixin: "...?"

What's that bastard fox demon priest doing getting involved in this mess?

The departure of the domain lord seemed to be a powerful catalyst for the collapse of this space. In an instant, Yu Naixin could feel that maintaining her identity as a mountain god had become even more difficult.

"What's the point of persisting now that things are like this?" Yu Naixin grabbed a fruit knife and quickly cut open the wedding suit she was still wearing and threw it away.

The groom's hat and the remaining hairpin on her head received the same treatment. Yu Naixin let her long hair, which was almost waist-length, fall loose again. She wore the simplest white dress and stood calmly in the center of the gradually crumbling space, her face expressionless.

In this pointless wedding ceremony, she was neither the bride to be sacrificed nor the groom to be sacrificed.

She is herself.

"The long night weaves a cocoon to bind the lamplight, and the ancient village buries the lonely people."

"Can one avoid the chaos of praise and punishment, or flee in panic at weddings and marriages?"

"You are granted a hundred years of sorrow for departing westward, but I will receive a thousand miles of spring in return for arriving eastward."

"May your shattered soul rest in peace, for heaven and earth, sun and moon, shall return to their natural order!"

Yu Naixin pressed the "End this program" button that had already appeared on the screen.

【Huh? She was talking about... a poem?!】

[So, besides his whimsical remixes of classical Chinese poems, this master can also compose serious poetry?!]

Wow, that's quite a powerful poem! In the end, she acted as the mountain goddess, allowing all the souls of the departed in Cocoon Village to rest in peace, and the natural order to return to normal!

[The live stream is about to close! Ah, I haven't had enough!]

[The day her name is announced in the live stream, I guarantee that her name will resonate throughout the entire "Heartbeat 1000%" program.]

**********

The moment the two energies that were fighting fiercely within her disappeared, Yu Naixin knew that she had successfully left.

Aside from that, just like when she transmigrated into this romance reality show, Yu Naixin still didn't feel anything, but the surrounding scenery had completely changed.

As expected, she didn't return to the express delivery street outside the university town, nor to the woods outside the cocoon village. Yu Naixin looked around and found herself in a room that looked like a hotel room.

The apartment is about 20 to 30 square meters, and it is fully equipped with a bed, air conditioner, lights, tables and chairs, cabinets, toilet and shower, and even simple kitchen utensils, which is more than enough for one person's daily life.

However, there were no windows, no doors, and not even any pipes connecting to the outside; it was a completely enclosed space with no way out.

Yu Naixin raised an eyebrow.

One of the main purposes of this house seems to be to trap the people living inside.

[Congratulations to the female guest on "Heartbeat 1000%"! You have successfully completed this episode's challenge and are currently calculating your final reward!]

Author's note: The poem's meter is definitely problematic, but I'm too lazy to proofread it (。). As long as the rhyme scheme is correct, it's fine. (Lying down peacefully)

The first dungeon is finished! Next chapter, I'll play as the Fox Spirit Driver and then head to the next dungeon!
