Clues

The scene followed Su Mei until he walked out of the tavern door, and then switched to another door that was slammed shut.

The waitress who had hastily escaped from Philer ran through the dark back of the tavern and into the cramped old house where she lived. She wrapped her head tightly with a sheet and curled up into a ball.

When she calmed down a little, the uninvited guest spoke:

"You're still going to go back to work tomorrow, even if this happens again, right?"

The waitress screamed at the sudden sound, turned over and sat up, only to see the wolf-eared girl sitting on the chair looking at her.

He was wearing a cloak that concealed his identity, and was sitting in a loose posture that was not straight but seemed ready to strike at any time. He had gray-black hair hanging on his shoulders that was as textured as the fur on the back of a wild animal that could block rain and snow, and he had a young face.

At first glance, the young girl looked almost like an adult mercenary.

——She was a girl, and like her, she was from the abandoned tribe. Her origin was unknown, but she was just of the same kind.

The waitress felt relieved. Out of an ignorant contempt for her own sex, she no longer felt that she would be hurt by this fact.

Thinking of what had just happened, she buried her face in her knees and sobbed.

"Yes. I can't help it... I can't help it. What else can I do but go there?"

"We are the beastmen who were 'abandoned' by God. Why me?"

She cried.

Xiaoman looked at the silver coin in her palm and thought, I can't answer her question because I don't understand it either.

She left them with the waitress, but she was too knowledgeable and experienced to deceive herself that this solved the problem.

She knew that money would not bring any fundamental improvement to this woman's life, because she was a pariah.

Therefore, even if she leaves the tavern, Bronze City will not provide the abandoned people with a living environment where they will not be bullied; if she leaves Bronze City, other cities, towns and villages will still treat her in the same way.

Xiaoman left the dilapidated house that was easily invaded and went to reunite with Sumei.

The night sky in Bronze City seemed hazier than other places. Perhaps even though the pollution from the metallurgical industry could be curbed by magical spells, as long as it still existed, it would be impossible to completely eliminate any traces.

"Why are 'us' special?" Xiaoman looked at the boy beside him.

The hoods of the dark cloaks they bought hung down behind them, revealing their pure white hair and the pointed furry fox and wolf ears on their heads. They looked no different from ordinary orcs.

"The God of Stars created the beast race, indicating that it is a race that dominates other creatures. Being recognized by the natural elements is proof that He cares for every beast race... Those who are abandoned by the natural elements are abandoned by God." Su Mei recited softly.

"Everyone says so, even my family - even the abandoned people themselves think so. I used to be confused: why?"

"They say the blood and lives of abandoned people are cheap, so we should suffer; they say the disabled are born with original sin, so you should be regarded as harmful. I thought about the reasons for all this, but I felt more and more that I was getting further and further away from the answer."

"But Xiaoman." He stopped, turned around and looked at Xiaoman, saying.

"I believe you can find the answer."

This is not a lie. Xiaoman's talent conveys this message to her and the readers.

"We should find the answer together." Xiaoman said.

“…”

This time, Su Mei did not respond to her immediately, but just looked at her quietly.

Bathed in the hazy moonlit night, the white-haired boy smiled a somewhat sad smile, as if he had already seen through his own ending.

He said, “If I may.”

[I smell the scent of FLAG]

[But this big picture is so beautiful... I was amazed]

[This wave, basically has already secured the Bai Yueguang character (sad)]

[Don’t use the knife, little fox! Please——]

Xiaoman instinctively felt uneasy about the ominous meaning revealed in that expression. She was about to ask more questions when she saw Sumei suddenly turn around and stare at a certain point, as if she had noticed something.

Then, the cloak draped over him suddenly collapsed, and a white light flashed across his sight.

"It seems someone is passing by."

The shrunken white fox stood on Xiaoman's shoulder, its tail pressed against her collar, and spoke softly.

Is it true? Is it false? The Bronze City at night is certainly different from a small village where people go to bed at sunset. In all outdoor spaces that are divided into a block, there must be people walking.

Therefore, Xiaoman's talent for discerning the truth from falsehood did not make Sumei's words false.

The Golden Blood's bestiality is of course not limited to the form of a gigantic beast. As long as it wishes, it can transform into a normal human-sized form or a more petite and delicate form.

【Little fox with you!!!】

[It can be transformed into a beautiful big lucky mud and a cute small lucky mud. It's too unfair——]

[Such a small thing can't it be rolled up and held in the palm of your hand! The treasure of the world! 】

"What should I do?" Xiaoman remained as he was, only moving his lips as he asked in the smallest voice.

"Just go back like this. It shouldn't be directed at us." Su Mei said.

Xiao Man did not bend down to pick up the cloak that had been used on the ground, but walked back naturally. The white fox was covered by her hair and clothes, and it concealed its body consciously, and looked normal.

The innkeeper raised his head and saw Xiaoman walking by alone with sleepy eyes. Although he was curious about where the fox boy had gone, the girl walked in a hurry and disappeared above the stairs before he could say anything.

This surveillance that developed into a confession forced the two to run around for half the night after dark, so the next morning, Su Mei and Xiao Man both stayed up until the sun was high in the sky.

When Yuan Qian woke up, system messages popped up one after another, and he realized that the emotional value for the day had been settled.

[Today's income sentiment value has been credited.]

[Living expenses have been automatically deducted. Details can be found in the balance. The settlement is complete. Please continue to work hard.]

[New emotional value received: 2107 points; Balance: 2107 points.]

[Comic content update completed]

[Do you want to purchase 1 episode: 200 emotional points?]

[Confirm/Not Purchase]

Yuan Qian was initially confused about the increase in daily income, but after seeing the prompt at the end, he realized that the comic had been updated again.

——Aren’t comics updated weekly?

[The speed of time in different worlds is different]

D-009 replied.

The two thousand deposited into his account was enough to cover his own living expenses and the rental of the "Su Mei" character for most of the six months if he didn't spend a penny more. Yuan Qiandun felt that he was rich and generous, so he didn't care about D-009's tiny limited-time discount price and directly purchased the content of the fifth episode of "The Incomplete Person".

He pretended to be lazily staring at the roof and scanned the updates.

Chapter 5 begins with him using his inherent disguise skills to deal with Xiaoman, and then records everything that happened after they came to Bronze City. The number of pages is still large and sufficient, making Yuan Qian, who currently relies on it for a living, feel particularly safe.

It is true that the imaginary "someone passing by" incident that just happened to change the topic was specially arranged by him. After all, a single character setting has limitations in the plot, and he considered laying the foundation for future character settings as early as possible.

Unexpectedly, the comic even included their discussion about the rest period after returning to the hotel, adding a lighthearted and enjoyable relaxation to the previous tense plot.

There was only one bed in the room, so someone was bound to make concessions. Little Fox thought that he should sleep on the floor, but Xiaoman insisted that he should sleep on the bed while he made the floor mat. Barrages of comments from enthusiastic readers were mixed in, saying that the bed was actually quite big and was just right for the two of them, making the silent text appear strangely lively.

The final result was that they moved the single bed away, spread both sets of bedding on the flat floor, and then Su Mei changed into beast form again and adjusted it to the appropriate size.

The white fox stepped lightly on the surface of the bedding twice and then lay down on the warm white blanket. Xiaoman leaned on him, luxuriously covered with the fox's tail that was as soft as a cloud, and fell asleep peacefully.

The white fox transformed by the golden blood is more beautiful than a real animal, with long and fluffy hair that can almost bury the skinny Xiaoman in the fur. Moreover, with the careful depiction in the comics, it seems to be softer than the real thing. Yuan Qian even wants to rub and pinch "his own" tail.

[…What a perfect solution!]

[Perfect (in every sense of the word), you two are two geniuses]

【Bed: Hallo? What about me? 】

[We shared a room to stay together for safety, and slept on the floor together because we were companions... so cute...]

[Logic is correct! Discharged! ]

[It's true that a den of gold or silver is not as good as one's own den of foxes, hahahaha]

The barrage brought joy, and Yuan Qian turned the page and got the clue he wanted.

On a completely black background, words from someone appeared in white bubbles.

"One of the 'scoop nets' broke."

"Who discovered them again? Were the 'fish' and 'shrimp' intercepted?"

"No, the goods have already been delivered. And the branding was launched just in time. He can't supply anything."

"That's good. Next time, hire more smart people."

"The snail he caught was very much liked by the nobleman, so it can be considered a contribution to me. Should I give some compensation to his family?"

"You make your own arrangements."

"Yes, sir—"

The black faded, revealing a sharp jaw, curly pink hair, and expensive clothing.

The person who was speaking held a mirror in his hand, watching it extinguish and turn back into an opaque purple mineral texture, and laughed happily and wantonly.

"My dear sister." The young man with a wicked look in his eyes said to the mirror which no longer responded.

[Oh, it’s all jargon. I think I understand.]

[I understand +1]

[This is a villain, but the drawing is pretty good.]

Yuan Qian also understood it, and he began to have ideas about how to lay foreshadowing for subsequent characters in the plot.

He pretended to forget the pain he felt from the high fees he charged the last time he created his character, and opened the interface again.

This time he just wanted to create an identity, no need to fight. If done properly, other characters might still use his identity in the world of "The Incomplete", so he just randomly chose the option of "bloodline" - beastman - rabbit - no special ability. Because this is the cheapest.

[Approved. Conditions met.] Beastmen of this status are everywhere, and D-009 passed the calculation instantly.

For [Origin], he chose Merchant - Orphan, and then generously invested a large amount of emotional value in the connections and assets related to the merchant identity, setting up the newcomer as a mysterious wealthy businessman, whose identity played an important role in chambers of commerce everywhere.

[Approved. Conditions met.] The Chamber of Commerce only mentioned the existence of a background board in a few words in the comics, but such an identity involves too many people, so this time D-009 calculated for about a few tenths of a second before responding.

In terms of appearance, Yuan Qian was only designed to be a normal adult male with sufficient stature, and then a heavy cloak covered with classical embroidery and an embossed silver mask covering the entire face were directly added.

This image is definitely mysterious enough, and at the same time leaves enough uncertainty for the specific character to be revealed later.

At least in the Bronze City stage, the "he" who appears in the comics should just be a mysterious person who comes to deliver intelligence, and the reason why he stands on the side of the protagonist can be left unexplained for the time being.

As long as it is hidden well enough, even if the reader looks through a microscope, the most they can see is that the new character is very rich, and there is still a huge space for subsequent modification and replacement.

Yuan Qian kept extracting some of the remaining emotional value from the plummeting balance to adjust the details. As he was doing this, he suddenly realized: the God's perspective information bought with emotional value was not wasted, but establishing a new personality would cost him the emotional value he had worked hard to earn through performance planning.

As expected, D-009 always makes money, and he is the only one who suffers losses.
