“At such a crappy level, you shouldn’t be messing with the code at all. If you end up making a huge mess and get erased by the game management staff, you brought it on yourself!” said 2333 in an exasperated tone as he pointed out the position of the characters.

  Fine, she did currently suck at this and needed to study more.

  Ning Shu felt that she was very stupid, so she asked 2333, “Does the system marketplace have any intelligence pills for humans? I’ll exchange for some next time.”


  “Sorry, there’s only intelligence pills for animals,” replied 2333

  mildly. “There are some attribute points awarded with the completion of each task, so just add the attribute points to intelligence.”


  “You only realize how dumb you are when it comes time to use your brain?” added 2333 in a contemptuous tone.

  Ning Shu changed the position of those two characters, then the enormous spider returned to its normal size. She sighed in relief.

  She continued practicing coding. Everything around her was made by code and changing a single variable was enough to make a blade of grass turn into a tree.

  It felt like magic.

  Meanwhile, [Flowing Cool Breeze] couldn’t shake off the feeling that something was off. The game walkthrough hadn’t mentioned that the spider would increase in size and he had seen that the spider was almost out of HP at that time.

  [Flowing Cool Breeze] returned to the main city and notified his companions to form a group to take on the quest in this small valley. If they couldn’t beat this valley, how were they supposed to move about unhindered in the game?

  Once everyone was ready, [Flowing Cool Breeze] came to the valley again.

  Ning Shu tossed aside the branch she was holding and lifted her brows at [Flowing Cool Breeze] who had returned again.

  [Flowing Cool Breeze]’s group had expanded again. There was now a member whose ID was [********]. He was a priest, basically the team’s wet nurse. This ID was sure something.

  The burly player, [A Chrysanthemum Opening Towards the South], greeted Ning Shu. “Hi Miss Beautiful, we meet again! It’s such a shame that this beauty’s just an NPC.”


  Ning Shu covered her ankle and said in a pitiful manner, “Hero, this humble girl has accidently sprained her foot. Could you head into the valley to help this humble girl find an herb called monkshood celestial grass? This humble girl will definitely reward you generously.”


  She had lost track of how many times she said these lines each day. She had to say it every time she encountered a player.

  [A Chrysanthemum Opening Towards the South] shook his head. “It’s seriously such a shame since she’s such a beauty.”


  [Crotch Feels Cool From Wind] agreed, “If only it was a beautiful player.” As he spoke, he nudged [Flowing Cool Breeze], “Don’t you agree, Boss?”


  “Boss is always coming here for this quest. I feel like Boss has fallen for this NPC.” [Monster’s Really Strong You Go First] started laughing loudly.

  Ning Shu: ….

  It was fine if they acted this obscene in front of a completely emotionless NPC, but fudge, the NPC in front of you guys now can hear everything, you know!?

  It was the first time in her life that she had to face this kind of behavior. She really wanted to just kick them in the crotch. However, a long vine suddenly grew around [Monster’s Really Strong You Go First]’s leg and kept him bounded in place. Everyone was bewildered by this and it was [Flowing Cool Breeze] that finally reacted and hacked off the vine.

  After hacking off the vine, [Flowing Cool Breeze] obtained a gold coin. [Monster’s Really Strong You Go First] finally reacted and jumped backwards in alarm. “Frick! Did you guys see that vine attack me?”


  “There was nothin’ like that last time, so why was it here this time?” [Monster’s Really Strong You Go First] looked around in alarm.

  [Flowing Cool Breeze] frowned. It really was strange.

  “Boss, are we still going to take this quest?” asked [********].

  [Flowing Cool Breeze] asked Ning Shu, “Can you explain what happened just now?” Things like this never happen with the other quests. Why were there so many unexpected incidents with this instance dungeon?

  As [Flowing Cool Breeze] looked at the beautiful NPC in front of him, he couldn’t shake off the feeling that this NPC was seriously different from the other inflexible NPCs.

  Could it be that this valley wasn’t a mid-level dungeon and was actually a final dungeon?

  Ning Shu smiled politely and said, “There are all sorts of dangers that can occur in the game world. It’s just that you guys haven’t triggered the storyline yet. If you trigger it, you’ll find that there are quests everywhere.”


  [Flowing Cool Breeze]’s eyes lit up and he asked, “Is there a hidden quest in this valley?”


  Why the f*ck would I tell you? Ning Shu replied, “Player, please try to trigger the storyline on your own.”


  #comment: Lmao, I spent 15 entire minutes searching through different raws trying to get the name of what 『********』was because I thought the player name was censored due to it being too coarse. But, turns out, 8 *s was the name. orz
