When you are happy, you are afraid that it is just a dream and when you wake up, you will have nothing.

When you are sad, you hope that this is just a nightmare and everything will be fine when you wake up.

Am I asleep or awake?

The knowledge of crazy, dark and just almost turned Qiao Muyi's brain into jam. She stared at the white feathers in her palm, and the visual information was gradually transformed into a language called "facts".

The temperature in the Hida Mountains seemed to suddenly turn cold, and pure white snowflakes were flying one after another.

It's so cold.

Qiao Muyi squatted on the ground and curled up into a ball, covering her mouth with her hands, feeling the warmth and softness of the feathers with her lips, allowing the knowledge to overwhelm her will and letting her thoughts become disorganized.

It's so cold.

It's really cold.

She tried to focus on this thought and not let herself think about anything else.

It's so cold.

The winter in Hida is really cold, and it snows.

In a few days, the forests and villages will be covered with snow, and the trees and villages will be beautiful. Will the Gassho-style houses wear white hats?

At that time, the courtyard will be piled with snow, and then you can go to the hot spring hotel and make a snowman in the courtyard.

You can also soak in the hot springs with... while watching the snow scenery with...

Then, when you go to bed at night, you can hug... in the warm bedroom, listen to the night sounds of the mountains outside, and then...

“Woo… woo…”

She hid her head lower and deeper, and her throat was like a broken bellows, making an involuntary trembling sound. Her body began to tremble, and she seemed to be weightless.

Qiao Muyi stared at the turned soil on the ground, and felt her vision suddenly blurred. Her eyes, the two windows of her soul, could no longer contain her feelings, and they turned into a river of sorrow and flowed down her cheeks.

"Don't cry."

Hearing the voice in front, Qiao Muyi raised her head, rubbed her eyes, and stared blankly at the man in front of her who was squatting with her and wearing only a long sleeve.

She reached out and pulled his face up. He couldn't help but let out a sound of "Ah, ahem, ahem, ahem." "Don't pull it, don't pull it, it hurts, it hurts, I'm not dead, I'm alive and well!"

Qiao Muyi's mind was already extremely confused, and now her thoughts were in a mess. She opened her mouth slightly, but no sound came out.

Snap——

A loud slap sounded throughout the night sky. Ren Suo, whose face was swollen after being slapped by Qiao Muyi, looked at Qiao Muyi in astonishment.

Then he saw Qiao Muyi's mouth shape constantly changing, as if she wanted to say something, but nothing came out; her fox-like curved eyes were now filled with tears and as red as a rabbit's.

“Wow…Wow…Wow—”

Qiao Muyi pounced over and completely pinned Ren Suo to the ground. She buried her head close to Ren Suo's chest, crying loudly, with snot bubbles coming out of her nose. Her hands tightly wrapped around Ren Suo like a koala hugging a tree, with such force that Ren Suo felt his ribs were challenged.

"I'm sorry."

Ren Suo hugged Qiao Muyi, gently stroked her black hair, and comforted her: "I didn't hide it on purpose to make you think I would die. It was all planned, and everything is under my control. If I came out early, it would be troublesome if that blond ghost rushed over and beat me to death."

"You, you just want to see your girlfriend cry like this?" Qiao Muyi leaned on his chest and sobbed, twisting his waist as she spoke, causing Ren Suo to gasp in pain.

"No, why would I have such an idea... But seeing you crying so pitifully, I feel a little happy in my heart..."

The tenderloin rotates 360°.

"But you're still so cute and beautiful no matter how you cry!" Ren Suo pulled the corner of his mouth in pain and said in a trembling voice.

Qiao Muyi then let go of her hand. She was crying so hard that she even hiccuped, which made Ren Suo couldn't help laughing out loud.

However, when Qiao Muyi raised her head with a tearful look on her face, Ren Suo reached out and held her little face, wiped away her tears with his thumb, and gently kissed her forehead.

"It's okay. We will not be separated by life or death."

Qiao Muyi, who had managed to calm down, sniffed and asked, "So, who just died..."

"My clone." Ren Suo reached out and took the feather that Qiao Muyi had been holding, and said with a smile: "I'll introduce it to you in a few days. The clone is very capable. When you marry into my Ren family, you don't have to worry about the housework. The clone will take care of it all!"

Qiao Muyi pursed her lips, wiped her tears, and said, "Who said I'm going to marry you?"

"Then what do you want?" Ren Suo raised his eyebrows: "You want to eat me up and then deny it?"

"Admit it, but I have to marry you!" Qiao Muyi sniffed and said viciously, "When you marry me, you have to follow the Three Obediences and Four Virtues. You can't like other girls and follow the husband's virtues for the rest of your life... When others talk about you, their first impression will be 'Ren Suo is Qiao Muyi's man'... My name must be the first on the household registration book!"

"Okay, okay, whether it's Ren Qiao or Qiao Ren, it's fine as long as you like it." Ren Suo used a white feather to poke Qiao Muyi's nose, making her nose itchy. She was so angry that she punched Ren Suo's chest a few times with her little fist.

Ren Suo looked at the white feather in his hand and thought to himself that the Small World Game Console was reliable. Even if the player died, the item was still there.

The "Wizard's Undying Feather of Standing Still" belonging to the Small World Game Console was fine, but the "Fuzzy Mask" that was out of the control of the game console was completely destroyed.

In fact, this was quite normal. At that time, the clone had sustained all the damage from Brett's final attack. His entire body, including flesh, blood, and clothes, had turned to light, so the mask naturally could not escape the disaster. On the contrary, the feathers were surprisingly strong, which was completely beyond Ren Suo's expectations.

It's just like when the buildings collapsed during an earthquake, but the unit under the name of the Small World Game Console can still float steadily in the air - your building collapsed, so what does it have to do with my house in the Small World?

The loss of a blurry mask, a coat and a pair of trousers was well within Ren Suo's tolerance.

It can even be said that everything is under his control.

As early as the early morning of eight days ago, Ren Suo had already guessed all the game contents of "Upside Down World", even if there were some discrepancies. This included the fact that the 'senior master' summoned by the maid Xiaosuo was actually a game character.

Analyzing the game content along the way, Ren Suo discovered that in the final boss battle, the maid Xiaosuo was equipped with "Struggle Warrior (Incomplete)" and "Clear Spring Flowing Sound" but did not use them. There must be a reason why they could not be used.

It is easy to guess that the summoning time of "Clear Spring Flowing Sound" has run out or there is no suitable character to be summoned; then what is the reason why "Struggle Warrior (Incomplete)" cannot be used?

In such a life-and-death battle, Ren Suo would not be stingy with this little bit of housework power, so the reason why the maid Xiaosuo did not use the "Struggle Warrior (Disabled)" was naturally revealed: from the very beginning, the maid Xiaosuo who beat up the boss was actually a clone!

However, there is a problem - the clone cannot inherit equipment.

This was especially true for Ren Suo. When other game characters summoned clones, they at least had clothes on, but Ren Suo's clone was naked. If Ren Suo hadn't anticipated this and even put on two pairs of pants, the clone would have definitely been naked.

If he couldn't inherit the equipment, he couldn't use the "Magician's Feather of Immortality" to save people. Even if Ren Suo sent his clone to fight, the ending would inevitably be that the person equipped with the feather would go to save Qiao Muyi - and he would still be the one who died.

Ren Suo, who had an extremely strong desire to survive, naturally kept thinking. Although he had not yet established this kind of negative distance intimate relationship with Qiao Muyi at that time, he could not just watch Qiao Muyi, who had a deep bond with him, go to her end because of being wronged - especially when he had the ability to save Qiao Muyi.

There are seven billion people living on this planet, and there are countless people suffering from diseases, riots, poverty, etc. Ren Suo has no way to help them, and he will not deliberately look for help. He knows his own character and ability clearly.

However, if it were easy, Ren Suo would not sit idly by - just like how he saved the Allied Forces by following the Saint Hand route in "The Magician Under the World Tree", controlled Zhao Zili to conduct a free clinic, and destroyed the source of chaos in "The Hand of Fate"...

He is just like that, neither a bad guy nor a saint. He is just an ordinary person who can only do things within his comfort zone within his ability.

That night, Ren Suo used "Demon King's Advent·Edict" to strengthen "A Thousand Miles Away" and put on "Seeker's Ornament". He quickly thought of the key to breaking the deadlock and even cursed inwardly that the small world game console was really fucked up.

If Ren Suo had retreated out of fear at that time, then everything would have been over.

However, Ren Suo chose another path. When he accompanied Qiao Muyi to the end of the road, he verified his original speculation that the "Magician will not die from the feather of standing still" would appear on him in real form.

Two months ago, in "My Life Is Not Your Game", when Ren Suo was a rebel, he discovered this wonderful hidden setting:

When players equip items, they will only have a projection-like imprint, not the actual item;

However, if Ren Suo himself is treated as a 'game character' and is equipped with items in the game, the items will appear in physical form.

It was because Ren Suo was equipped with the "Pure White Holy Grail" in the game that the Holy Grail appeared in his pocket in real life during the comic convention, and was then accurately identified by the little nine-tailed fox.

This setting seems insignificant and only plays a role in the plot of the little nine-tailed fox.

However, when Ren Suo recalled this setting that night, he came up with a crazy idea -

The props will appear in physical form, so... can I give the props to others to use?

If the other person is a stranger, there is a high probability that it will not be effective and cannot be used... But this 'other person' is a clone who has the same origin as Ren Suo and has obtained the certification of the Small World Game Console! ?

If his guess is correct, then he won't have to die. He only needs to use a clone with a cooling time of 24 hours to pass the level perfectly.

If the guess was wrong... Eight days ago, Ren Suo didn't know what he would do, but eight days later, Ren Suo had already given his answer at Sensoji Temple: 'I have already realized it.'

That night, if Ren Suo had not recalled this hidden setting, he might still have embarked on the path of saving Qiao Muyi.

But Ren Suo had to admit that this lucky thought was the last straw that broke the camel's back. It made him walk out of the house with hope, climb over the wall into Dong Chengling's house, and start the game plot.

In the end, although the Small World Game Console sprinkled some cumin and chili powder on the little lamb on the grill, it did not roast him after all - Ren Suo was frightened for eight whole days, and finally when it came to the boss battle, he found that there was indeed a real "Wizard's Feather of Immortality from Standing Still", and it could also be used by the clone!

So when Ren Suo was hiding in the bushes, he summoned his clone, changed his jacket and pants on the clone, hid aside the whole time, and told the clone the strategy to attack Brett through the mental link, allowing the clone to beat Brett as if he could foresee the future.

Looking at the night sky with snowflakes flying, Ren Suo looked at Qiao Muyi who was wiping her nose with his long sleeves in his arms and asked, "Master... have you noticed... that you are glowing?"

"Um?"

Qiao Muyi was slightly startled, looked at her hand, and found that the edge was indeed glowing with a light purple light.

When Ren Suo saw Qiao Muyi from the beginning, it was as if she had been given a special effect, with a purple light nearly ten feet in diameter. However, he was so excited just now that he had no time to ask.

Boom!

The crazy knowledge occupied Qiao Muyi's mind again. The flow of information that was enough to boil his brain made Qiao Muyi unable to help but cover his temples. His body began to tremble, and chaotic spiritual energy fluctuations erupted. He almost lost control!

Just now, because he was obsessed with Ren Suo's life and death, emotions of extreme sorrow and joy occupied his mind, which was equivalent to closing the door of his spirit and blocking out the chaotic knowledge, so Qiao Muyi was able to barely remain normal.

Now that Qiao Muyi's mind has calmed down and a crack has appeared in the door of her mind, she has to start accepting and understanding this sudden and crazy knowledge!

Ren Suo quickly sat up and hugged Qiao Muyi without saying anything to disturb her, waiting quietly for her to complete her super evolution.

In the game, after Master Mu defeated the boss, a prompt appeared: "Master Mu has completely perfected his martial arts and seized the memory of the enemy of the demon."

Qiao Muyi beat Brett so hard that he exploded on the spot, and now it was time for her to receive her reward.
