"What do you mean by saving Lin Yumeng? Something happened to Lin Yumeng?" Bai Xing frowned and asked quickly.
The old man waved his hands and sighed.
"No, but it will be soon."
"Do you know what Lin Yumeng's skills are?"
Bai Xing shook her head. She didn't like to pry into such private matters.
"Her skill is called Water Invisibility. It's very powerful. Theoretically, when she perfects it, she can transform herself into mist, allowing her to mobilize all the water. However, this skill itself has a serious flaw. Her water is like a toxin, constantly wearing away her."
"I've calculated her lifespan many times, and she wouldn't live more than a month. But this little girl is incredibly strong, and with my help extending her lifespan, she's managed to withstand the poison and hold on until now. But she's almost done with it. Everyone has their limits, and the next dungeon will probably be her limit."
The girl who seemed to be very efficient appeared in Bai Xing's mind. She always had a smile on her face every time she saw her. It was hard to imagine that she was suffering so much pain at that time.
"So what do you want me to do?"
Bai Xing asked. In this situation, she couldn't think of how else she could help.
"I've said before, I've calculated for her many times before, and the only way for her to survive is through destruction. But I've also calculated many times, and I can't predict when or how she'll be destroyed."
"But when you appeared last time, the line of destruction or reconstruction in her seemed to become clearer." The old man stared at Bai Xing.
"Me?" Bai Xing was a little confused.
"Yes, this means you can influence her fate. In other words, you might be able to help her break down first and then rebuild."
Bai Xing frowned, pondering the old man's words.
"But I don't understand, what do I need to do?"
"No." He shook his head.
"On the contrary, you don't need to do anything special. I just hope you'll always team up with her and do whatever needs to be done. Just make sure she doesn't die before her calamity. It won't happen too often. I estimate that within three dungeons at most, her calamity will come."
Since he had said this, Bai Xing naturally agreed.
The little old man seemed to have aged ten years in an instant: "I can't protect her forever, and she doesn't like making friends with others. But if one day I really leave, there will always have to be someone to help her when she is in crisis..." The little old man's voice became smaller and smaller.
Bai Yanran listened obediently beside him without interrupting.
The old man looked at Bai Xing, then at Bai Yanran, pondered for a moment, and sighed resignedly: "Well, people like me are meant to do this kind of thing. It's hard to defy fate."
Bai Yanran blinked and looked at the old store manager in confusion.
The old man asked Bai Xing: "Why didn't you give her the weapon you gave her last time?"
Bai Xing was shocked: "You can even calculate this?"
"Hehe," the old man snorted triumphantly, "Of course not. Who am I?"
"Uncle, I can still control the power of time. I don't want any other weapons. I don't know how to use them." Bai Yanran said crisply.
She is the owner of the power of time and can more or less see some fragments of time. She has vaguely seen herself using other weapons.
But that should be something I would do when I completely lose the power of time.
"Little girl, let me tell you, it's better not to use skills that you can't master perfectly." The old man said to Bai Yanran earnestly.
Bai Xing had been silent until now, but now she asked, "Are you referring to her stuffed bear? But that item is very low-level, and honestly, it's only barely effective enough to protect herself."
The old man's beard curled up when he heard this, and his face suddenly became happy: "I am here to help you solve your problems, old man. Give her the stuffed bear first."
Seeing this, Bai Xing decisively took out the stuffed bear, and Bai Yanran took it and re-binded it to recognize its owner.
The old man closed the shop door and the shop suddenly became dark.
"You better listen carefully to what I say next."
"Bai Yanran, because your bear will protect you, so as long as your bear is there, you will be fine. And because you are the one who controls your bear very carefully, so as long as you are there, your bear will not be hurt."
After these words were spoken, Bai Xing was stunned for a moment, and Bai Yanran was also stunned.
What the old shop owner said seemed to be fine, but the logic was strange, and it felt like something was wrong.
Suddenly, an indescribable mysterious aura descended upon Bai Yanran and the stuffed bear. At the same time, the old man's hair became grayer and his body became more hunched.
Bai Yanran opened her eyes again in a daze. She felt as if something had changed, but she didn't understand what had changed.
"Try attacking the teddy bear." The old man said to Bai Xing tiredly.
A star line appeared at Bai Xing's fingertips. She raised her arm and the star line lightly brushed across the teddy bear's arm.
The soft stuffed bear came into contact with the light star thread, just like a real teddy bear coming into contact with the silk thread, without causing any harm.
Bai Xing raised her eyebrows and increased her strength, but still did not cause any harm to the teddy bear. At the same time, Bai Yanran was not hurt either.
Bai Xing seemed to be lost in thought, her eyes full of interest. She really wanted to test the limits of the teddy bear, but she was afraid that if she used too much force, she would really hurt Bai Yanran.
Bai Yanran was the "NPC" she brought out from the dungeon, so even if she came out, she did not belong to the players. She was only a passenger attached to Bai Xing, similar to a family member, and could only enjoy the most basic food, clothing and housing services.
