Chapter 104 Holographic Online Games Are So Cool (Twenty-Five)

After receiving his talent in the starting village, Luo Yi'an's character, [Broken Brush Ink Painting], sped off.

However, this elf did not seem to possess a natural and ethereal quality; its expression was gloomy, as if it could summon a storm at any moment.

Given Luo Yi'an's consistent personality, she should want to get as far away from the game "Stars" as possible!

That way... there won't be any more chances to see that disappointing Luo Xinxiu's face!

But her legs—when Luo Yi'an thought of this, his teeth ground together, and he deliberately twisted them into a grimace, mimicking the appearance of the character Duan Shui Hua Mo.

At the same time, Luo Yi'an still hasn't given up his covetousness for the role of Duanbi Huamo!

Her current character, [Broken Brush Ink Painting], was registered not long ago using Luo Xinxiu's ID card. Choosing such a similar name was purely to disgust her disabled younger brother.

If her best friend hadn't casually mentioned the broken brush and ink painting, Luo Yi'an wouldn't have realized how lucrative the Stellar Game was.

She would never have known that her good-for-nothing brother had made a name for himself using her ID card and account!

Luo Yi'an thought of the tempting conditions Ye Shangliang had promised after their discussion... and the seemingly interested look in his eyes when he looked at her, and everything about them stirred her heart.

The elves have their own designated settlements, and Luo Yi'an traveled to all of them in an attempt to find Luo Xinxiu!

But there was nothing, not even a trace could be found.

She couldn't find any trace of Luo Xinxiu through forums or other means. Heaven knows he was a well-known figure, yet he was as elusive as a ghost!

Who knows if he's become some powerful figure's lackey... Luo Yi'an's eyes darkened as she thought of the helper Luo Xinxiu brought who exerted so much pressure on her.

Repeated failed searches drove Luo Yi'an to the brink of madness! Her mental state became increasingly unbalanced, and even saying she was walking a tightrope was a way of comforting her.

Finally, Luo Yi'an angrily logged off!

She didn't give up on finding Luo Xinxiu; instead, she planned to use the most direct means to seize his account—she refused to believe that Luo Xinxiu would have no reaction!

As Luo Yi'an's figure disappeared into the star, several players emerged from the elven forest.

They stood around the spot where Luo Yi'an had logged off, staring at the land with furrowed brows.

"She's offline, what do we do? We don't know when she'll come back online, and besides, we're not the only ones who will find her soon. If we delay the faction quest, wouldn't we be losing more than we gained?"

The robust demon player seemed somewhat at a loss.

Another slender player subconsciously pushed up his glasses and calmly analyzed the situation, saying:

“You’re right. Players from a small guild like ours definitely can’t compete with the big guilds. We might as well give up this opportunity and get some compensation in return.”

"How so?"

The demon player scratched his head sheepishly.

"Have you heard of Liejiu Qinghan? After he left his own guild, he somehow offended several other guilds and is now being hunted down—" the slender player said. "The player we're waiting for chatted happily with Liejiu Qinghan at the meet-and-greet. Who can say they don't have a special relationship?"

"so……"

The slender player narrowed his eyes: "Sell the information about this Broken Brush Ink Painting and make a killing! Make the big guilds believe that the Broken Brush Ink Painting is not only the big prize on the Demon King's bounty, but also has an inseparable relationship with Liejiu Qinghan, who has a grudge against them!"

"We could even spread the news that they're wanted by the Demon King and hunted by various guilds because they know the Demon King's secrets. These two could reunite at any moment!"

The slender player is a typical example of someone who knows their guild can't compete with others, and therefore cleverly uses this information to maximize benefits for the guild.

He himself never expected this...

Every piece of false information he released happened to be linked to some kind of "truth"!

“You’re right,” the demon player agreed, “but which guild should we sell this information to?”

The slender player chuckled: "We'll sell out as many guilds as there are guilds involved in the hunt for Liejiu Qinghan!"

"If the guilds refuse to get involved, then sell it to an individual."

A storm is brewing, and the strong, cold liquor... has indeed made the elven village their next destination!

He was still unwilling to give up; the mysteriously vanished elven village he remembered was clearly a hidden side quest.

After finally shaking off those players from the big guilds who were seeking revenge, Liejiu Qinghan had no idea that the emperor's uncle had left him with such a huge mess!

All the game NPCs he thought he had captured were actually players!

Seeing the players' deep hatred for him, Liejiu Qinghan felt only irritation. He quietly concealed himself, but little did he expect that his whereabouts would be exposed by an uncanny coincidence!

The strong liquor, though cold, made me feel a chill that seemed to come from nowhere, enveloping my body.

He looked around suspiciously, and suddenly, an inopportune thought popped into his head—

Is it really just a coincidence that the human emperor's uncle ordered him to capture only players, not NPCs?

Those who frequented higher-level aristocratic circles knew a little about strong liquor—

Some NPCs have started referring to the players as "the undead." They've noticed something unusual about the players!

However… perhaps he was just overthinking it. Liejiu Qinghan pulled his thoughts back and began to examine a detailed map.

Inside the Demon King's Palace.

As Luo Xinxiu's abilities improved, Freya's attitude towards him became increasingly gentle, giving him a feeling of being flattered.

"Go down first, Freya."

Si Yisi noticed Luo Xinxiu's gaze, and with a simple wave of his hand, only the two "elves" remained in the room.

Luo Xinxiu couldn't help but glance at Si Yisi on the throne, and had to admit that if he were to sit on the Demon King's throne with this appearance, he would only end up looking like a dog instead of a cat.

Si Yisi is undoubtedly a demon king.

The bards have begun to sing of the demon king's face, the demon king's palace...

They called the Demon Queen an extinct demon bird, saying she was a dark deity who emerged from the abyss, and that death was her constant companion.

Her dark eyes were deep and unfathomable, almost eclipsing the night and seizing the highest authority. Her long, black hair trailed on the ground, and beneath her skirt, a dark throne of bones stood before her!

Let us sing her name...

She is a deity fallen to earth, truly deserving of the title—

The King of Darkness! Also known as the Demon King!

Luo Xinxiu recalled the bard's words that had reached his ears and couldn't help but smile.

Did they know that their Demon King was male from beginning to end? But gender would not become any constraint on Si Yisi. Luo Xinxiu took a deep breath and looked at Si Yisi.

"Asi, with such a high-profile warrant for Sister Luo Yi'an's arrest... won't there be any problems?"

"For example, causing data anomalies, which in turn attracts the attention of the game's official developers?"

Luo Xinxiu always felt that if Si Yisi's abnormality were noticed, he would be treated as a bug or abnormal data and deleted...

Therefore, he appeared particularly worried.

Luo Xinxiu was undoubtedly concerned about him, but...

Si Yisi's expression remained completely normal; he even smiled and spoke, his words carrying a hidden meaning:

"You need to understand—stars are not such a simple game."

Then he met Luo Xinxiu's gaze, and seeing Luo Xinxiu's silly look, Si Yisi chuckled again.

But suddenly, the smile he had just shown vanished, as if the weather had turned cloudy.

"Um?"

After answering the question, Si Yisi gave an ambiguous "hmm".

Seeing his solemn expression, Luo Xinxiu disappeared from the throne the next second.

It looks like it's been taken offline?
