The small expression in Mewo White's eyes represents a strong appeal.
With just one exchange of glances, Wang Xiaole could understand what Mewo White was trying to convey, and could then muster his strength in the next moment to help the little girl achieve her heart's desires.
"Want to play? Big brother will indulge you!"
Having played "Landlord" with Curyl before, Wang Xiaole was not particularly interested in any card games now;
Plus, with Cayi going to the kitchen to make breakfast, Wang Xiaole had to stay in the room with Lucia and couldn't move around freely;
Taking those two unchangeable restrictions into consideration, a bright idea suddenly popped into Wang Xiaole's mind.
"Sia, I want to play with Mewo White, you can join us too."
"Really?!"
Lucia propped her head up from her almost deformed chest, looking as thrilled as a lottery winner of five million.
It wasn't surprising for Lucia to be so dramatic.
Because whether playing with her lover or a cute little girl, it was something she was very willing to do.
"..."
At the heart of Mewo White's silence lay a simple translation: "unhappy."
Mewo White had an almost naked aversion to Lucia, having a thousand unwilling thoughts at that moment.
However, Mewo White thought:
Allowing the naughty big sister to join was big brother's idea;
Out of respect for the latter, Mewo White decided not to continue being naughty and behaved a bit more obediently than before.
Thus, the decision for Lucia to join the game was made.
Wang Xiaole spoke first:
"I'm taking you both to a world of illusion I created, be prepared mentally."
As Wang Xiaole shrugged slightly and raised his right hand, the magical light filled the entire room;
As the bright light appeared, the scenery in front of the three pairs of eyes distorted and the small space began to undulate.
The dizziness from the swaying had made Isabella uncomfortable before;
However, for Lucia and Mewo White, these two non-human girls, they felt okay at the moment and weren't particularly uncomfortable.
The only thing they were resistant to was the strong light later spreading out from the room, so:
Lucia crossed one arm in front of her eyes, while Mewo White raised her palm to cover her eyelids;
Their ways of guarding against the bright light had some differences, but in the next moment, they both opened their eyes at the same time.
In that instant, the three of them arrived in the world of illusion.
In a short while, Wang Xiaole took a short time to explain the only rule of this game:
The adventurers formed a team together, advancing to defeat the demon king along the way, solving the minor monsters popping up along the way.
Since it was a randomly generated world, Wang Xiaole was not entirely certain what experiences his party would have next, so they had to play it by ear.
It is said that this kind of uncertain future can, to some extent, enhance the fun of the game itself.
Later on, the first step of the game (adventure) is to assign specific professions:
"I am the mayor of the novice village, skilled in both magic and weaponry, truly a 'versatile profession'!"
Wang Xiaole let go of his restraint and continued the cheating profession he had when adventuring with Isabella in the past.
His role was already fixed, but Lucia and Mewo White were starting their adventure for the first time, so they needed some time to decide on their professions.
"My dear, are there demon kings in this world? Well, then I'll be a demon king!"
Lucia enthusiastically proposed;
At that moment, the whites of Wang Xiaole's eyes increased slightly;
As he closed his eyes slightly, he shook his head firmly and slowly.
"Sylvia had better not choose the 'demon king' profession."
"Why? I am already one of the 'Seven Demon Kings', this profession is tailor-made for me."
"If Sylvia insists on becoming a demon king, then at the end of the game, Mewo White and I will have to fight against you, and we must defeat you."
"Uh..."
Lucia seemed to choke suddenly, unable to say a second word for a while, so Wang Xiaole took the opportunity to persuade her further:
"Sylvia doesn't want to be a partner of mine and Mewo White’s, but wants to be our opponent?"
"No! I don't want to be enemies with little Mewo White, and I definitely don't want to be enemies with my dear."
Upon hearing this response, Wang Xiaole knew the persuasion was successful.
However, he was a bit premature in his joy!
Because shortly after, Lucia had a sudden idea and came up with a perfect solution that benefited both parties.
"My dear, I can be the 'former demon king'!"
A new profession emerged!
It should be noted that even someone like Wang Xiaole, who has played many RPG games, had never heard of a profession called "former demon king."
Perhaps to ensure her loved one understands, Lucia fabricated a background story:
"I was once the great demon king of a realm, but half a year ago, I encountered you leading the villagers to fight against me;
After a fierce battle, I was unfortunately defeated. On the day you captured me back to the village, you captured my heart completely, and I decided to become a member of the adventure team..."
With patient assistance, Wang Xiaole listened carefully to the story, thinking:
There are so many ways to beat around the bush, it's enough material for me to write a novel of over a hundred thousand words.
As the long story drew to a close, Wang Xiaole found himself persuaded and agreed to let Lucia join the team with the profession of "former demon king."
Next to decide on a profession was Mewo White.
Out of a sense of caring for the little girl, Wang Xiaole patiently introduced Mewo White, covering everything from professional characteristics to strengths and weaknesses.
"I've said everything, Mewo White, what do you think?"
"..."
Accompanying the silence was the little girl bending half of her body, preparing for a sudden attack;
After a full set of actions, the figure darting and dodging on the grass seemed as swift as a swallow, behaving much like a certain profession.
"Could it be that Mewo White intends to become an assassin?"
"......(nodding)"
It was beyond unexpected.
Wang Xiaole thought:
A delicate girl like Mewo White should, even if joining an adventurer team, take up roles like a priest;
When facing small monsters, Mewo White should hide behind others, providing healing and status buffs;
He never imagined:
Mewo White actually chose the role of an attacker, one who bravely fights on the frontlines!
"Have you thought it through? Once you decide to become an assassin, you will have to confront those fierce enemies head-on."
Like a seventy-year-old grandma, Wang Xiaole was trying his best to strike a terrifying pose, using a ghost story teller's tone to scare and dissuade the young girl in front of him.
Unfortunately, Mewo White was not swayed and instead, the brightness in her eyes gradually intensified;
Seeing her determination, Wang Xiaole had no choice but to accept, and so, in his capacity as the team leader, he bestowed a gift upon Mewo White.
The clothes originally worn by Mewo White vanished, replaced by a set of black tight-fitting attire;
Complemented by the new outfit, her slender figure was surprisingly delicate, outlining smooth curves from head to toe;
Under her small round knees, her petite body connected to legs like bamboo shoots, resembling an incredibly exquisite pillow.
Just above her legs, where they met her torso, a hint of pink skin showed, causing Wang Xiaole's blood to rush through his veins for a moment;
Fortunately, Wang Xiaole was self-aware enough to only allow himself a quick glance before returning his gaze with less suggestive intent;
So, his eyes continued upwards;
His wandering gaze swiftly taking in that pair of slender legs, the delicate skin exposed by the tight clothing, the attractive collarbones, and finally, Mewo White's blank face.
After admiring her alluring appearance, Wang Xiaole found himself repeating in his mind:
He harbored no impure thoughts!
He simply believed the tight-fitting attire was more suitable for action and would make Mewo White look cuter, hence the new outfit.
With Mewo White sporting a new look, Wang Xiaole coughed a few times to disguise his awkwardness and hurried the team to move forward.
After over ten minutes, the spacious path suddenly came to an end, with a large sturdy tree standing ahead of the group.
Wang Xiaole and company arrived at the entrance to the forest;
Above them, the intertwined branches obscured the sky, casting a dim light inside the forest where many things were shrouded in darkness.
In some dark spots, Wang Xiaole felt extreme danger;
Faced with such precarious situations, he always guided the team around them until a few seconds later, Lucia's voice suddenly came from behind him:
"Dear, be careful!"
As the shout rang out, a cold light flashed in Wang Xiaole's eyes;
His fist was already full of strength, and with a swift turn, he unleashed a heavy punch backward!
Crack!
The fist felt extremely rough upon impact, and then Wang Xiaole realized:
The one attacking him was actually a thick branch of the towering tree spirit.
"So it's a tree spirit, a creature with astonishing defense." Wang Xiaole exerted force beneath his feet, leaping high and landing on the branch without reservation, delivering another punch.
Although the bark of the towering tree was tough as iron, it couldn't withstand the immense force of this punch, and it snapped in half the moment it was hit.
Some of the surrounding trees began to move their trunks at this moment, and their bark shifted to the side, resembling two opened eyes.
The "eyes" of each tree were open, all looking towards the three targets in the area, their gaze cold and merciless, sending shivers down one's spine.
Some of the tree spirits lunged towards Mewo White, and due to the distance, Wang Xiaole wouldn't be able to reach for support in time. However:
Facing an opponent she had never encountered before, Mewo White showed no fear at all, bravely meeting them head-on.
In an instant, countless thick branches swiftly encircled their targets;
The menacing posture made it seem like they would immediately entangle Mewo White.
