Chapter 80 The Royal City Banquet: Naïve and Sweet, Love-Obsessed.
After the lengthy game background introduction finished, a character card with black background and white text popped up in the center of the panel.
Character identity:
The only princess of the King of Scar City
Character Setting 1:
The princess, who grew up in the royal city, is innocent and naive, believing that everyone who is kind to her is a good person.
Character Setting 2:
A princess would risk everything for love.

This is actually a role-playing game instance.
Since being added to the game, Shi Yu has only experienced three dungeons. He has not yet entered any role-playing dungeons, but he had previously seen players on the forum say that role-playing dungeons are the most difficult.
The difficulty of this type of dungeon lies not in completing it, but in maintaining your character throughout the game. The reason players are given three chances is that if there were only one chance, almost everyone would be wiped out.
Unless the player is an actor who can perfectly portray their role.
However, the majority of players are still ordinary people.
High-level dungeons have a high mortality rate.
In high-level dungeons, death can occur at any moment.
The combination of role-playing and high-level dungeons can be described as hellish.
The scene before her was both blurry and clear. Shi Yu found herself sitting in front of a round bronze mirror.
The person in the mirror was dressed in a medieval Rococo-style court dress with a large skirt. Her long, light golden hair, like ripples, fell to her waist. The face was still Shi Yu's face, but it was a gender-swapped version of Shi Yu with minor adjustments. Her features were as delicate as a porcelain doll, and her skin was so fair and smooth that it looked like it was covered in powder. Even her eyelashes had become long and curled.
Then Shi Yu discovered that her height had decreased, and her entire frame had been reduced in size.
Perhaps it's to better fit the character's persona...
I can understand it.
But Shi Yu found it a little hard to accept.
After confirming that his other male characteristics had not changed, Shi Yu breathed a slight sigh of relief and began to look around at his surroundings.
This is a Western copy.
He was probably in the princess's bedroom.
It is called a sleeping quarters rather than a bedroom because this bedroom is about the size of a hotel's living room. The floor is covered with an intricately patterned carpet, and the walls are decorated with exquisite reliefs and murals. All the furniture is inlaid with gemstones and pearls, and a magnificent antique crystal chandelier hangs overhead, its warm light rippling through the sleeping quarters like waves.
The entire palace is decorated primarily in pink with light gold accents, creating a magnificent and dreamlike atmosphere.
This is really "princess-like".
Since it's a role-playing instance, everyone else should have gotten their own character, and maybe some of them got a female character like him.
Thinking this way, Shi Yu gradually accepted her role as a "princess".
The system says the game will end if the player goes out of control (OOC) more than three times.
The role Shi Yu got wasn't actually difficult to play; the "princess" character can be summarized in six words—
Naïve and innocent, love-struck.
In other words, all he needs to do in this instance is be brainless.
However, this is a high-level dungeon, so it definitely can't be that simple.
The condition for completing the dungeon is that he needs to give his true prince a kiss on the seventh day. The prerequisite for completing this task is that he must first find his true prince.
What are the characteristics of a true prince?
How do I find it?
These systems didn't give any hints whatsoever.
At this moment, three maids entered, bowed to him, and the lead maid said, "His Majesty the King has sent us to inquire about the princess's criteria for choosing a husband."
The system didn't give him any hints about his "true prince," but an NPC in the instance asked him this question. Could it be that the person who meets his criteria for a partner is his true prince?
However, this guess may not be accurate.
What if there isn't such a person among the princes who come to participate in the princess's selection of a husband?
What are his criteria for choosing a partner?
To be honest, Shi Yu had never thought about this question before.
He never even thought he would get married in the future.
But for some reason, Shen Su's face appeared in his mind at this moment.
And those seven days and six nights of unrestrained scenes.
Shi Yu looked down at her wrist.
If the system hadn't made any adjustments to this body, there would still be red marks on his wrists from the binding.
He never knew that Chen Su, who seemed the most casual and lazy, could have such a strong desire for control when he was in bed.
He had clearly begged for mercy, feeling that he couldn't bear any more, but Shen Su still wouldn't let him go.
If you find a boyfriend like Chen Su, you'll die in bed sooner or later.
Therefore, Shi Yu's criteria for choosing a spouse were completely opposite to Shen Su's: "Refined and cultured, gentle and considerate, with gentlemanly manners, and a perfect sense of propriety."
The rest is unimportant.
The last point is important.
Shen Su has absolutely no sense of propriety.
Whether in life or in bed.
"Yes, Princess."
The head maid instructed one of her maids to convey the message, and then beckoned to four or five maids, each carrying a tray with clothing and jewelry. The head maid said to Shi Yu, "The princes will be entering the city one after another today. Please dress up and prepare for tonight's banquet."
.
The princes have indeed been arriving at the capital one after another.
Some have already entered the city, while others are still on their way. Barring any unforeseen circumstances, everyone will enter the palace today.
At that moment, a curse word suddenly rang out from the woods on the outskirts of the capital, twenty kilometers away.
There was a cavalry unit resting there.
Qin Ke, a member of the cavalry, incredulously opened his character card again.
Character identity:
War God Vice General
Character Setting 1:
You are brave and fearless, the first lieutenant under the God of War, always charging at the forefront.
Qin Ke: "..."
Thank you, he wasn't heroic at all.
He was afraid of dying.
Character Setting 2:
The God of War saved your life, and you will sacrifice yourself for him if necessary.
Qin Ke: "..."
Thank you. He's here to farm dungeons, not to sacrifice himself for NPCs.
[Note: Players must speak and act in accordance with their character's established traits. If a player goes out of character (OOC) more than three times, the game ends.]
Qin Ke: "…………"
This means that if he doesn't sacrifice himself for an NPC when necessary, it's considered out of character (OOC), and he'll die at the end of the game.
He sacrificed himself for the NPC, so he will die too.
He'll die if he's an out-of-character (OOC) character, he'll die if he sacrifices himself for an NPC (NPC), which means he'll die no matter what.
Destroy it.
Numb.
Then look ahead at the war god NPC clad in silver armor, who has maintained a stern, unyielding expression since the start of the journey—his direct superior.
Qin Ke felt an urge to swear even more.
Sitting in the carriage, Mo Rugui also wanted to swear.
Character identity:
Prince of the Green family
Character Setting 1:
You are very outgoing and can chat with anyone.
Character Setting 2:
Speak no less than one hundred sentences a day, with no less than five words in each sentence.
[Note: Players must speak and act in accordance with their character's established traits. If a player goes out of character (OOC) more than three times, the game ends.]
Silent and taciturn Mo Rugui: "..."
Although I've run many high-level dungeons, this is the first time I've seen one this bad.
Lin Fengbai, standing by a stream in the suburbs, looked completely bewildered.
He looked at the game panel that had suddenly appeared in front of him, which was exactly the same as Shi Yu's game panel, and confirmed again and again that this game panel belonged to him.
He was taken out of Xincheng Hospital by Shi Yu and has been hidden in Shi Yu's inventory ever since.
He thought the system hadn't detected him...
Or perhaps they know he exists, but are too lazy to care.
Why did the system suddenly assign him a task?
However, when they said they were issuing a task, they didn't provide any specific details; they just gave him a character card.
Character identity:
Prince Lucis's advisor
Character Setting 1:
As the chief strategist of the royal city of Lira, you are resourceful and have foreseen many things, which has earned you the high regard of Prince Lucius.
Lin Fengbai: "?"
Lin Fengbai, his mind blank: "..."
Character Setting 2:
You are loyal only to Prince Luches.
Does this mean that he cannot inform Shi Yu in this instance?
He also has to tell Prince Lucis everything? Not only that, if Shi Yu and Prince Lucis are on opposite sides, he has to side with Prince Lucis to deal with Shi Yu.
Just thinking about it makes Lin Fengbai feel incredibly difficult.
He was just a spirit pet.
Why give him such a difficult task?
"Are you done yet?"
A gentle, deep male voice sounded from behind.
Lin Fengbai turned his head and saw a tall, handsome young man wearing a black tailcoat with dark patterns, a light gold bow tie, and pure white gloves walking towards him.
His boots were decorated with jewels and silver chains, which jingled as he walked.
A luxurious carriage was parked behind the man.
He must have just gotten off the carriage.
"The water here isn't clean, but I'll just have to wash here for now. I'll take a proper bath once we get into the royal city."
His voice was pleasant and his tone was gentle.
Lin Fengbai felt cold sweat starting to break out on his forehead and back.
As Prince Lucis drew closer, he broke out in a cold sweat.
Despite the prince's polite demeanor, smiling face, considerate tone, and gentlemanly manners, Lin Fengbai felt fear creeping into every pore of his body.
It's like the tiger's natural bloodline dominance over the cat among felines.
This is something that is completely beyond our control.
He realized that this Prince Lucis was no ordinary NPC.
But Lin Fengbai did not forget his character setting. He suppressed his fear, tried his best to control his trembling hands and feet, slowly stood up, and bowed to Prince Lucius: "Yes, Prince Lucius."
"Shall we set off then?"
Prince Lucius spoke gently, but without any real emotion.
The question appears to be a inquiry, but it is actually open to discussion.
Lin Fengbai boarded the carriage with Prince Lucius, sitting beside him without daring to move an inch.
Prince Lucis's expression remained gentle as he casually tapped the light screen that Lin Fengbai couldn't see. Thousands upon thousands of light screens appeared and disappeared from his fingertips, some remaining while others shattered into fragments.
He pointed to his own character card.
Character identity:
