    • by Cristae Chapter 193 Thank You For Your Trust Livestream Room: “Holy crap, if the little cat was in feline form right now, I bet his fur would be standing on end. That’s his owner’s face! Just glancing at it is pretty terrifying.” “Cat cub’s owner is even scarier. He took out his own replicant quickly and cleanly—a true one-shot, one-kill.” “The replicants keep multiplying. How are they going to handle this? Can any top-tier instance experts tell us how players used to deal with the…
    • by Cristae Chapter 192 Dealing with a Fake Qi Feng When it came to the question of how he’d entered the game, if Yan Jiyun didn’t answer, he’d risk arousing suspicion. He settled on a reasonable explanation Qi Feng couldn’t verify. Yan Jiyun casually pointed at the two black cats. “I came in following the cat. Originally, it was with me in another instance. I happened to be holding it, hiding in a corner gathering information, when its body suddenly started glowing. In the blink of an eye, we were…
    • by Cristae Chapter 191 A Hint of Envy Yan Jiyun grabbed the submachine gun nearest to him. Now that Qi Feng was outside dealing with the NPCs for him, he could relax a little. At least there was no need to worry about being caught off guard from behind; he could focus solely on seeking out the false Chu Mo and the false Wen Ye—the two replicants. He crouched behind cover, listening as the gunfire gradually died down, and began to shift his position. Since this was an escape from the City of Sin with a…
    • by Cristae Chapter 190: Sin City “Ahhh, four cats—wait, with cat cub there are five! Can I apply to the game to adopt a copy-cat cub? Cool and adorable, their dominating aura is overwhelming. It’s just too cute!” “Exactly! So cute. I’m not even watching this stream as a horror game anymore—as long as cat cub is here, I’m happy, and now my joy is multiplied!” “Damn, I want to know how the level-5 streamer gets out of the game. Did little black lead him out?” “Probably not. Even…
    • by Cristae Chapter 189: Four Black Cats Yan Jiyun waited anxiously outside, desperate to rescue Qi Feng, but at the moment he didn’t even know how Qi Feng had gotten inside the machine. He’d assumed replicants were the main feature of this instance—never expecting there would be “games within games.” Did entering different shops trigger different tasks? How had Qi Feng gotten in there? Yan Jiyun patted the irate NPC nearby. “Hey, friend, are you still playing?” The NPC, out of tokens, should…
    • by Cristae Chapter 188: Finding Qi Feng Why had his sanity pollution gone down? Sanity pollution was essentially a measure of rationality—if it went down, he must have been losing his composure out of worry. Yan Jiyun wasn’t afraid of the Qi Feng replicant; after thinking it through, perhaps what he was afraid of was the fake Qi Feng hiding the real Qi Feng somewhere. He still didn’t understand the mechanics behind the appearance of the replicas—a big problem for now. As president of the…
    • by Cristae Chapter 187: Replicant "Damn, I really want to rush in and drag cat cub back—he doesn't know anything, this damn game is driving me mad." "Exactly, so frustrating! If anything happens to cat cub, I won't ever be able to watch his streams again!" "But honestly, we just saw another cat cub—was that a mirror image or a copy-paste cat cub? What's the goal of this instance anyway?" "Feels like it's both. Could the ability to turn into a human be copied too? Can the copied cat cub change…
    • by Cristae Chapter 186: An Identical Black Cat Yan Jiyun could only choose between options A and B, but he didn’t have to consider the first one at all—the system hadn’t even given him a chance to pick it. Yan Jiyun chose B. What the hell is “Sweet Christmas”—what kind of family celebrates Christmas with people dying? What’s there to prepare for, mental preparation? Closing his eyes, maybe blinking—that’s about all he could get ready. He really was at a loss for words. The…
    • by Cristae Chapter 185: Sub-Account Players, Please Pay Attention Yan Jiyun didn’t know if Liu Jingxi had deliberately chosen this moment to appear. After all, there was no tacit understanding between them; Liu Jingxi had no knowledge of his true purpose here. Maybe he simply intended to surprise Liu Jingyi in his study. At any rate, it worked out perfectly for Yan Jiyun. The instant Liu Jingyi heard the knock, he closed the casket he’d just begun to open. With no time to hide it, he simply set it at the…
    • by Cristae Chapter 184: Nice No human could run as fast as a cat, and Yan Jiyun easily caught up to the man running through the courtyard. At the same time, he kept pace with Liu Jingyi, who was being supported along. The person Yan Jiyun was following tried to hide himself in the shadow of the rockery. Moments ago, Liu Jingyi had been coughing as though near death, but now he shrugged off Ajuan’s support, declaring he wanted a moment alone. Ajuan lingered, casting a longing look over Liu Jingyi’s…
    • by Cristae Chapter 183: Main Quest 1-1 In truth, Yan Jiyun found that it wasn’t just the Cheng family’s second young miss, Cheng Yingxue, who felt out of place—the entire town carried an air of incongruity. His mission was to leave Jiangnan Town, but Liu Jingxi had shown him just how difficult that would be. First, there were man-made obstacles. Second, natural barriers surrounded the town. To escape, one would have to scale mountains and cross wilderness. He mused that players capable of entering an…
    • by Cristae Chapter 182: The Fearless Bride “This scenario really doesn’t seem that complicated so far. Has the game master lost their touch? The plot lacks tension, the mystery isn’t strong. Honestly, it’s pretty dull.” “I feel the same. I’ve already guessed the story: the elders won’t let the young people leave, probably because the outside world was thrown into chaos in the past. It’s all the old folks who suffered through war that are stopping the others from leaving—they just want to…
    • by Cristae Chapter 181: The “Vigil” Mission Fortunately, Yan Jiyun was now nothing more than an ordinary little cat. Hiding in a flowerpot, he didn’t have to worry about anyone noticing the excitement flashing in his eyes. The death of Liu Jinghao was both unexpected and, in some ways, entirely foreseeable. He had just said nothing ever happened here, and yet here it was—sudden and dramatic. Yan Jiyun could hardly keep himself from sprinting straight to the scene, which, in fact, he did. The…
    • by Cristae Chapter 180 Something Happens Yan Jiyun, still unfamiliar with the situation here, didn’t ask too many questions and acted dazed around Liu Jingxi, doing whatever he was told. At first, Liu Jingxi suspected that Yan Jiyun was driving poorly on purpose, but when the driving became smoother, his suspicions faded. They walked through the forest and then climbed up the mountain a ways. Yan Jiyun had never hiked a mountain in an instance before and took the chance to enjoy the…
    • by Cristae Chapter 179 The Freeloader Cousin Looking around, the street was packed, a lively buzz filling the entire avenue. It was the first time Yan Jiyun had entered such a bustling instance. The main quest was to leave Jiangnan Town before the timer ran out, which meant this was surely Jiangnan Town. With the flagstone streets and surrounding architecture, it all looked like an authentic water town of the south. If not for the raucous wedding, it might have been a truly tranquil place. Now,…
    • by Cristae Chapter 178 New Instance Exploration The moment the announcement for pre-release of the new instance went out, it jolted awake all the players resting in Central City. This time, it wasn’t just Yan Jiyun and the others cursing the shamelessness of the game—every guild’s players were cursing, and their language was even harsher. Not being able to grind points from instances stung more than losing their own lives. The “Best Video Game Console” indeed. With new instances going online and…
    • by Cristae Chapter 177 Announcement After Qi Feng entered the game, Yan Jiyun gathered quite a bit of information from following Lan Mo and the others, and when combined with what his master-pet system revealed, he knew more than most players still lingering in Central City. He spent half a day with Lan Mo’s group before deciding there was no reason to stay any longer. He left a note and slipped away, this time writing with his left hand. Even if Qi Feng figured it out, it hardly mattered; since Qi Feng…
    • by Cristae Chapter 176 Master’s Updates Qi Feng rejected Qi Yunchu’s attempt at moral coercion and did not agree to his demands. Yan Jiyun felt deeply gratified by this; it was a lesson learned the hard way, wisdom gained from failure. At the same time, both man and cat gained crucial information about the top-tier field: players could seek help from outside the instance while in the copy. For a top-tier field instance to reach the point of requiring outside help—just how hard must it be? Yan…
    • by Cristae Chapter 175: Moral Blackmail This was the first time Yan Jiyun had ever heard the name Su Qiuming. He didn’t know who this person was, but he could guess it was someone who used to be close to Qi Feng, only to split bitterly for reasons unknown, never to cross paths again. The newcomer was from the New Vanguard Guild—apparently an enemy of Qi Feng’s. Yan remembered that the guild that burned down Qi Feng’s tavern stronghold was from New Vanguard. Later, he’d even blown up their…
    • by Cristae Chapter 174: The Joint Conference After leaving the scenario, Yan Jiyun received so many system notifications that they exceeded the number he cared to read—he postponed checking most of them. Qi Feng quickly looked him over and found he was uninjured. He had exited the scenario faster than the others; before long, everyone who’d entered together had come out—Lan Mo, Shi Yan, Gu Wenzhu, Qiu Xi, He Yuanle—but there was no sign of Yan Jiyun. Gu Wenzhu and Qiu Xi were as concerned as Qi…
