Chapter 28 [Scene 12] "Hummingbird"/A somewhat good-looking...
"Um, are you Zhi's friend?" He Yuezhe asked curiously.
Just after she and "Balloon" introduced themselves, "Balloon" kept frowning.
Judging from her look, she was probably chatting with someone.
"'Weave'? Oh, yes." "Balloon" has taken off her hood. Although she looks like a balloon head, she still has hair.
"Balloon" shook her hair slightly, and the refreshing wind passed through her hair, flashing inexplicable spots of light.
"But why are you asking?" Balloon asked, puzzled. "People who are chosen as assistants are usually people who know each other. How come you don't even know that? You're so stupid."
"...Tsk, damn, why hasn't she replied yet?" Balloon bit his lip, then turned sideways and muttered softly, "Never mind, she should be fine. Let's go to the towers first."
"Are you..."
He Yuezhe followed the girl, and the two of them walked along the avenue towards the towers.
"I didn't!" Balloon seemed very annoyed. He clenched his fist and gently hit He Yuezhe on the back. "If you keep talking nonsense, I'll sell you out!"
I don’t think I’ve said anything yet?
He Yuezhe smiled politely.
People with tsundere personalities don't really give people a good first impression.

Walking on the road.
Since the area around here was too deserted and the "balloon" was unwilling to talk to her, He Yuezhe had no choice but to chat with the system out of boredom.
The system said it was very busy, so even though it was talking to He Yuezhe, it never stopped what it was doing.
"Oh, I'm so sad. I'm all alone in this world, and no one wants to have a serious conversation with me."
He Yuezhe feigned sadness, a rare occurrence: "It's so boring! I really want to see what a 'different' world would be like."
"You can... no, wait, didn't I just give you psychological counseling?" The system's voice was calm.
"I didn't talk to you." He Yuezhe answered in surprise and automatically ignored the system's subsequent series of questions.
Ahem, she doesn't want to chat with this system!
The solutions this system offers her are either dehumanizing or inhumane.
He Yuezhe felt that if he stayed with it for a few more days, his old habits would recur again!
However, this wasn't He Yuezhe's true thoughts; it was just something she might say to the system in the future.
One of the sentences in .
“…Then why are you saying that again?!”

"Hey, you, you're not worried about Zhi at all!" As they were about to reach the towers, "Balloon" walking in front couldn't help but speak.
She turned around, folded her arms across her chest, and stared at the "Hummingbird" who had just recovered from his daze.
He Yuezhe exclaimed, "Oops!" "I did send her a message."
"What about the reply?" Balloon stopped her, "What was her reply?"
This is probably because all players in the game are modeled using the same model.
He Yuezhe looked at the balloon that was about the same height as herself but inflated, but she was not at all frightened by her inflated momentum.
"Let me take a look." He Yuezhe opened the chat with "Zhi".
[Chat with "Zhi"]
"I'll be back soon, remember to do as I say."
——"Hummingbird"
"Are you all right?"
——"Hummingbird"
"It's okay, but I received a new mission and left first. That person should still be waiting for you there."
——"weaving"
[The other party has withdrawn]
[The other party has withdrawn]
[The other party has withdrawn]
Weird, didn't I see two messages at the same time? Why is there only one left now?
"That's it," He Yuezhe recounted the chat history to "Balloon," omitting the part about "withdrawal." "It seems pretty normal."
"Then, then you can send her a message!" The "balloon" still didn't move.
He Yuezhe did as he was told.
Perhaps "Balloon" discovered that something was wrong with "Zhi" earlier than herself. After all, they should have known each other for quite a long time.
"You have been..."
"Sure enough--! Pah, that's enough, let's go." "Balloon" suddenly interrupted He Yuezhe's words, and she turned around and walked away quickly.
[Chat with "Zhi"]
[System prompt: You have been blocked by the other party! You will not be able to communicate with them until this block is removed!]
[System prompt: Please do not send repeatedly! ]
[System prompt: Please do not send repeatedly! ]
[System prompt: Please do not send repeatedly! ]
…
"What's going on?" He Yuezhe asked the system.
The system's response came quickly, as if reading a report: "I can no longer detect the existence of Zhi. It seems something born in this world has forcibly erased her."
"——It's very likely that he's the controller of this game."
"Can they just bypass you and wipe her out?" He Yuezhe was very curious. "Shouldn't you be the kind of person who can cover the sky with one hand?"
“…I’m not that powerful.”
"Hey, if there was something like a [system], maybe it would be possible..." While the two were communicating, a girl's low mumbling was heard in the front.
Based on He Yuezhe's usual hearing, he probably couldn't hear it.
But for the system that "denies that it can cover the sky with one hand", this seems to be a very easy thing.
Otherwise, there is no way to explain why her senses become more sensitive inexplicably as soon as she connects to the system and speaks to it?
"Why don't you become her system?" He Yuezhe suggested.
The system remained silent.
"If you don't talk, you're a puppy."
"Wuwuwu." The system made a few cold cries.
The sound simulation is spot on, and it's clear this is a high-quality system.
Accordingly, the emotional simulation is not in place, but it can also be seen that it is a puppy system that is somewhat concerned with face.
He Yuezhe chose to ignore the persistent and intermittent crying in his head.
She secretly opened a chat box with a stranger whose number she had always remembered.
[Chatting with “strangers”]
"I met your 'good friend'."

"Do you have any good weapons? I don't want to fight alone when I get there."
"Balloon" and He Yuezhe stood side by side at the gate of the tower group.
The hollow gate made of gold and jade inlaid kept flashing light, trying to blind the two people.
"No, do you want to give me one?" He Yuezhe looked at the "balloon" expectantly.
She hasn't even seen the advanced weapons that can be collected during the late development period!
"Balloon" laughed and punched He Yuezhe on the back again.
"Then you must hide well. If you don't wait until the Executioner returns, you'll be dead. Humph, you better figure out how to explain it to her."
"...Oh, you don't have a second weapon, do you?"
He Yuezhe had probably heard someone say at some point that the most effective way to deal with someone with a tsundere personality is to use some kind of provocation.
The "balloon" didn't move and continued to sneer at her.
"Well," He Yuezhe saw that she didn't react, so he could only use... uh, maybe the last trick someone had told her about.
"Please, I've never seen such a powerful weapon. But... you have a lot of weapons like this, right? Could you lend me one so I can protect myself?"
While she was speaking, "Balloon" had already sneered - and continued to pile up extremely high-quality weapons on the ground!
Those weapons flashed with dazzling rainbow light, spreading like a carpet from the feet of the two men to the gate! !
"So she falls for it!" With this doll-like face, He Yuezhe's "begging for mercy" was very effective.
"Why don't you just ask me what she likes?! Is my position in your heart so low?"
"You can even talk to an NPC you just met like this! - Wuuuuuuuu." The system inexplicably took over the conversation and began to complain about its "misery" in the past few days.
Of course He Yuezhe ignored it.
She randomly picked up a weapon that was convenient for her, and then coaxed "Balloon" to put away the others, saying "don't show off your wealth."
…
The two finally rang the bell next to the gate.
“Ding-ling-ling——”
"Let me make this clear first. Now that you have...a weapon, you have to protect yourself. Don't always expect me to protect you."
——"Translation: Let's make it clear first. Even if you have a weapon and can protect yourself, you still need to let me protect you more often."
"I've inquired about this before. Uh, you should also know that, except for the tall tower in the center, the positions of the other towers in the group are randomly changing, and not many people have figured out the pattern of this change..."
"Ahem! But, I do have a detailed guide here."
The "balloon" emitted a shimmering green light. "So don't run around. If you get lost, I won't look for you."
——Translation: "So you must stay with me. If you get lost, I will definitely come find you."
He Yuezhe had indeed heard this from the people of Kangsu before.
——The tower group is divided into four layers: outer tower, middle tower, inner tower and high tower, and the order of the towers changes on each layer.
However, there will not be a situation where a tower that should be in the outer tower suddenly appears in the inner tower out of thin air.
It's like a Rubik's Cube that's twisted randomly, changing in countless ways. It's said that anyone who doesn't have permission to enter has disappeared.
She and "Balloon" have just confirmed their current mission.
The first step is to sneak into the innermost tower, then connect with the executor, and finally lurk in the tower to help the executor complete the task.
Of course, the mission content is subject to change.
Therefore, based on "Balloon's" statement about her understanding of "weaving", the two of them might need to turn back halfway.
[Countdown: 11:56:37]
"It's about to start." Balloon's voice became softer, and she took out a pen and drew a big hummingbird pattern on her face.
…No, what does it mean to just draw a hummingbird?
"So from now on, I'm the hummingbird."
The "balloon" held He Yuezhe down and drew a pattern on her face: "You are the balloon. No one will mistake us for each other."
"Host, she activated her special skill: Swap. She swapped your appearances in the eyes of outsiders!"
The system stopped translating the "balloon" language.
"So, when she came into contact with you, as she said, you had already become each other!"
"Hello, please tell me your purpose, and the stars will guide you to the answer."
As soon as the doorbell rang, a sturdy tower teleported over!
Balloon's tone was formal: "Thank you for your welcome. The purpose of our visit will be disclosed to you on this piece of paper."
She stretched out her left hand slightly and blocked He Yuezhe behind her.
And in her right hand, a very thin piece of white paper appeared out of thin air!
"Host, I would like to remind you that in the game setting, towers are very dignified characters. If you behave disrespectfully towards them—"
“Sizzle—!!!”
"Thank you for your understanding. We will crown you with the [Laurel] when you become Neta."
The "balloon" waved and quickly retrieved the paper from the air!
She gently pressed the paper against her shoulder and bowed deeply and gracefully to the shattered stone tower!
Then——
“BOOM——”!!!!!!!!!
