At this moment, her eyes revealed a clear eagerness, and she stared intently at everyone.
Xu Ling was startled when everyone seemed to be fleeing from her gaze, finally realizing that something was wrong.
"So, so," her voice trembled, and she struggled to finish, "you...you haven't found any?"
Silence replaced the answer.
The answer is obvious—no one could find Ruth, not even the slightest trace.
Xu Ling suddenly felt dizzy.
Ruth has really disappeared!
They completely and inexplicably disappeared!
Xu Ling muttered to herself, "What should I do now?"
Kaopu approached Xu Ling, leaped a few times, and landed on her shoulder. Then, it stretched its neck and rubbed against Xu Ling—influenced by its cat instincts, Kaopu used this method to comfort the frightened Xu Ling.
It knew that, ultimately, the little fairy was different from others in Xu Ling's eyes.
That was the first person it and Xu Ling met after arriving in this strange world.
Although the little fairy wasn't very useful, it did provide some relief, at least in the early stages when it and Xu Ling disliked each other.
After all, when it and Xu Ling had a fight, and it was a matter of who would back down first, Ruth, as the middleman, helped them largely avoid the possibility of becoming the dog.
Ahem, that's a digression.
In short, to get back to the point, after Ruth has been with it and Xu Ling for so long, she is already no different from family to them!
Therefore, Ruth's disappearance didn't exactly put Kaopu in a good mood, although it wasn't quite to the extent that Xu Ling felt; he was just slightly down.
However, it might be able to do something.
A flash of inspiration struck him, and at the same time, an indescribable impulse suddenly spread through his heart.
It could even feel its heart pounding violently as a result.
Bang bang—
Bang bang—
This is strange!
A few strange thoughts flashed in the cat's round eyes. It snuggled against Xu Ling's neck, hesitated, and then slowly placed its paw on her chest—on what should have been her heart.
Beneath its paws, apart from the soft, furry touch, its flat chest remained completely still.
That's beyond doubt!
Even though Reliable looks just like a cat, and even though its actions are incredibly similar, it is fundamentally different from Fier and the others—it is not a living creature at all!
Even Xu Ling's initial belief that it was similar to a computer was wrong, after all, Kaopu has never had a physical form!
To put it bluntly, "reliable" is essentially just a stream of data.
However, this data stream comes from a higher-dimensional society. It does not need to rely on a specific carrier and has a unique vitality, making it like a real living organism.
No matter how unique or reliable someone is, they can never have a complete heart like Xu Ling, let alone a heartbeat!
However, when it truly wanted to do something for Ruth, it could indeed feel the beating of its own heart inside its body.
It's hard to understand why it's reliable, but now is not the time to investigate the reasons.
The thought that had just flashed through my mind vanished in the blink of an eye.
The reliable mind returned to the starting point—it might be able to do something.
Suddenly, a huge stream of data swept across its cat's eye, almost like a cascading waterfall, flowing endlessly.
However, its eyes quickly returned to their normal color.
A reliable solution has been found.
From the system shop, it found a special item: a sphere carved from transparent crystal. It was smooth and round, reflecting dazzling light from different angles. At first glance, it seemed ordinary and had nothing special about it except as a decoration.
However, when a reliable person shifts their gaze to the information displayed by the crystal ball, they discover that this seemingly ordinary crystal ball possesses extraordinary abilities.
Name: Divination Ball
Grade: A
Function: To answer your questions and help you avoid pitfalls and maximize benefits.
Note: The divination ball can only be used three times. After the third divination, subsequent uses will be invalid.
[Required System Points]
Looking at the notes on the divination ball, which stated that it could only be used three times, Kaopu couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
It naturally wants a better tool than the divination ball, but predictably, anything better than the divination ball will be much more expensive.
Even a hero can be stumped by a single penny, let alone someone reliable!
There was no other way; the divination ball was already the best tool it could handle within its capacity.
Moreover, those 30,000 points basically emptied my reliable savings.
Looking at the glaringly high 30,000 points, Kaopu closed his eyes, steeled his heart, and bought the divination ball without hesitation.
The moment I pressed the confirm button, all my reliable points vanished.
However, today, it didn't even have time to feel the pain of losing its points.
Kaopu slightly raised his head and stretched his neck to rub against Xu Ling's chin.
"Xu Ling, don't worry, I have a way!"
Xu Ling, her face filled with anxiety, paused in her gaze as she looked into the distance. Suddenly snapping back to reality, her eyes gleamed, she turned to look at Kaopu, who was right in front of her.
Xu Ling asked anxiously, "What method?"
Knowing Xu Ling's feelings, Kaopu didn't keep her in suspense and handed her a divination ball without saying a word: "Here, take this. It should help you find Ruth."
