Guinaifen has many brothers and sisters, especially several younger siblings who are still minors.
To ease the burden on her family, Guinaifen ran away to become an internet celebrity, hoping to make money through street performances and live streaming.
Don't be fooled by her lively and cheerful demeanor, always wearing a sun-like smile— the burden on her shoulders is incredibly heavy.
Just as Seth was spacing out a bit, a group of people in deep red uniforms arrived—they were from the Realm-Keeping Commission.
The Realm-Keeping Commission has duties similar to urban management, and Guinaifen, performing on the street, fell right under their jurisdiction.
"Little girl, it's you again!?"
Upon seeing Guinaifen in the crowd, the leader, a man with a full beard, immediately furrowed his brows.
"Sorry! Sorry! Uncle, I'll leave right now!"
Guinaifen quickly stopped her acrobatics, clasped her hands together, and apologized repeatedly.
"This is the umpteenth time? If you keep setting up unlicensed stalls like this, we'll have to confiscate your equipment."
The bearded man said with a mix of helplessness and exasperation.
"My license is already in process, it just hasn't come through yet..."
"Then wait until the license comes through before coming out! Can't you wait just a few days?"
Xianzhou people have long lifespans and aren't very competitive, so their efficiency is naturally low.
But Guinaifen is a short-lived species, and with her family short on money, she couldn't bear it. So, taking a chance, she came out to perform without a license and got caught by the Realm-Keeping Commission several times.
Fortunately, the people from the Realm-Keeping Commission weren't completely unreasonable. They just gave Guinaifen a stern lecture and let her go, without confiscating her streaming equipment.
The onlookers figured there was no more show to watch and gradually dispersed.
Seth followed the crowd and left.
Having watched the commotion, he didn't think much of it, just felt it was a bit coincidental.
The area of Aurum Alley is not small—far larger than a thousand times what's shown in the game.
He was just there to buy something, yet he still ran into a familiar character, which made Seth sigh in amazement.
…
Back home, Seth immediately started using the cutting machine he bought to prepare for suicide.
To prevent his blood from spraying everywhere, this time he hid directly in the bathroom.
Speaking of which, bathroom, cutting machine, corpse... these keywords sound so much like a murder and dismemberment scene.
Seth quickly banished the distracting thoughts from his mind and turned on the cutting machine.
Buzz~!
The high-frequency vibrating cutting blade edge lit up quickly like a red-hot branding iron.
Seth took a deep breath and pressed his neck against it...
He didn't know how much time had passed before Seth woke up again.
He moved his somewhat stiff body, and once he was limber, he picked up the cutting machine again, turned it on, and directly pressed the back of his hand against the blade.
This time, the result was completely different.
The blade sparked wildly at first, then shattered on the spot.
Seeing this exaggerated scene, the smile on Seth's face could no longer be suppressed.
Now, ordinary Cloud Knights weapons could no longer pose a threat to him.
The 'Glazed Indestructible Golden Body' was indeed a golden trait—its growth potential was terrifying.
A golden trait was already this strong; he wondered how powerful a higher-level red trait would be.
It was truly something to look forward to.
Ordinary Cloud Knight soldiers basically posed no threat to him anymore. Next, he should find a way to get a Pathstrider to help evolve his golden body.
Seth bet there were plenty of people who wanted to kill him now, like the blackened yandere female swordswoman or the worry-free, regret-free, invincible General fox girl.
But those two were too strong—their attacks exceeded the golden body's tolerance limit. One strike, and he'd be gone for good, the kind where both person and corpse vanish.
Among the people he knew so far, only Qingque's strength somewhat matched his requirements.
But he was a bit hesitant.
Qingque seemed naturally airheaded, but she was actually the type who was wise but appeared foolish, and her background was a bit sensitive. One wrong move, and it could attract Fu Xuan's attention.
Fu Xuan was the head of the Divination Commission, able to mobilize the Great Divination Array for calculations. If she found out something, he'd be done for.
Before he had enough strength, Seth didn't want too much contact with Xianzhou's higher-ups.
This matter couldn't be rushed.
With things as they were, he might as well simulate first to boost his own strength.
So Seth lay down on the sofa in what he felt was the most comfortable position.
Seth first opened his attribute panel—
He now had a total of five traits: Slow and Steady (Blue), Killing Expert (Blue), Born Villain (Blue), I Am The Bone Of My Sword (White), Glazed Immortal Indestructible Golden Body (Gold).
It looked much better than his initial state of being broke and blank.
But he still didn't have confidence in clearing an intermediate difficulty script, especially Feixiao's script—the base difficulty was the highest among the three scripts he'd unlocked.
So Seth decisively chose to draw a new script.
After a familiar card-drawing effect, a bright orange-red girl wielding a red club appeared before Seth—it was actually Guinaifen.
Seth raised an eyebrow.
Once could be coincidence, twice, three times... if it kept happening, it couldn't be coincidence.
The system had said that in his current region, the probability of drawing characters increased. Now it seemed that characters he encountered for the first time also boosted the probability.
This pattern was useful—for example, in a small space like the Herta Space Station with dense population, he could use this to quickly draw all related characters.
Once he left the space station, he could farm like crazy.
Others were fine, but the one who named the space station after herself was not to be messed with.
That's right, talking about Lady Herta.
Things like 'kick someone when they're down', 'press the advantage when winning', 'hit people in the face', 'curse without holding back', 'no one in the world can wrong me'...
Offend the Aeon, and you might escape; offend Lady Herta, and you definitely won't.
The topic had wandered; Seth quickly pulled his thoughts back and started preparing to select the traits needed for simulation.
[Choose this script for simulation? (Script difficulty: Basic)(Yes/No)]
'Yes.'
[Please select two initial traits. After the script simulation ends, you can retain one for free as an inherent trait.]
Only two initial traits? Looks like this script's difficulty isn't high.
Seth then looked at the trait options listed by the system:
[Twelve Knights of the Round Table (Gold): A special ability born from the influence of the King Arthur legend, allowing borrowing the power of the Twelve Knights of the Round Table. Meeting hidden conditions allows borrowing the power of King Arthur or the traitor knight 'Mordred'.] (This trait is a beginner difficulty benefit and cannot be selected during settlement)
