The oil-soaked wooden beams instantly burst into flames, the orange-red flames licking the walls and crackling.
Thick smoke quickly spread, choking Qi Xu so much that she couldn't help but cough twice. However, she didn't rush to leave. Instead, she retreated to the edge of the barrier and watched the orbs of light grow brighter and brighter in the firelight.
Gradually, the entire town mayor's office building was set ablaze, and thick smoke billowed everywhere.
Mayor Pighead finally arrived!
"Are you crazy! Do you know how precious these things are?!" He stumbled into the house, saw the mess on the floor, and his fat face was twisted beyond recognition. He reached out to grab Qi Xu's arm, but Qi Xu easily dodged him.
The pig-headed mayor frantically tried to rush into his office again, but Qi Xu perfectly stopped him once more...
First he kicked me, then immediately apologized, his attitude was incredibly good.
Until the flames completely burned away the surrounding barrier, the memory orbs that filled the room instantly scattered out. Qi Xu quickly ran a few steps and looked outside.
These orbs of light were frantically flying into the distance, like fireflies breaking free of their restraints, trailing wispy tails of light as they swept through the thick smoke, heading precisely towards the players in the courtyard...
It even flew towards the NPCs in the Pig-Headed Mayor's faction.
"These are all mine! They are the nutrients I've accumulated from tens of thousands of dungeons! You...you...I'm going to kill you!" The pig-headed mayor had completely lost his composure, acting like a madman.
The players covered their heads, feeling the lost memories and potential flowing and reviving within their bodies, like parched land finally receiving sweet rain.
Qi Xu stood at the edge of the fire, watching this scene, her tense shoulders slowly relaxing. She raised her hand to wipe the soot off her face, a very faint smile appearing on her lips.
The pig-headed mayor behind him had completely gone mad.
He stared at the countless orbs of light scattering across the sky, at the players who had regained their vitality. His chubby face, which had been jiggling wildly, turned deathly pale. Suddenly, he let out a roar that sounded inhuman, and turned to lunge into the raging fire of the office building...
There were still a few faint rays of light remaining there. These were the most accumulated and purest essence of his talent, which was also the core of the Hungry Town instance that was successfully formed by the collective sacrifice of the entire population of Hungry Town's sense of taste.
Before he could take a step, a loud bang came from the towering flames, and the entire wooden office building collapsed, scalding wood chips and sparks splattering all over him.
"No!"
The screams of the pig-headed mayor were drowned out by the roar of the ruins...
The atmosphere at the scene completely changed. So many people finally remembered who they were! I'm not an NPC; I don't need to repeat myself...
The previous suspicion, wavering, and anger were all replaced by the joy and gratitude of regaining what was lost. Countless eyes were cast upon the pink figure standing in the firelight, their gazes filled with undisguised admiration and trust.
Just then, a cold system notification sounded in the sky, yet it carried an unprecedented clarity:
[Ding! All memory potential orbs have returned to their original owners. The rules for legitimate looting in the dungeon are now invalid!]
[The core strength of the Pighead Town Mayor instance has been lost by more than 90%, and he has completely lost control of the [Hungry Town] instance.]
