"Are you absolutely sure? Is it truly a purple-named world boss?" In the video feed, a man clad in a Sea-blue Mage Robe gripped an Exquisite Mage Staff radiating brilliant blue light. His every movement exuded the dignity of a superior, yet his expression remained solemn.

"Absolutely certain! I witnessed it myself and rushed here to report!" On the other end, the man's face flushed with excitement, his hand clutching a Longsword trembling with tension.

"What I care about... has the secret leaked? If other Great Guilds find out and deploy all forces to steal the kill, I'd rather abandon this boss."

"Not at all! I've stationed every Assassin from our branch at all passages! Only a few elders in our Guild know about the purple-named world boss inside!"

The man's face stayed grave, utterly calm, devoid of joy or sorrow. "What level is the boss?"

"My scouts tested its damage. A single auto-attack one-shots all squishies—minimum hit over 700. It must be at least level 25!"

"Excellent. You handled this perfectly. I'm awarding you 500 KDP, and 50 KDP to each Guild member. After we down the boss, claim a top-grade green weapon from the Guild warehouse."

"Thank you, boss!"

"Report coordinates. This boss is Jian Hui Tianxia's for the taking."

"2500 meters south of Zhenxin Village lies a Basin encircled by mountains. Coordinates (N187709354.E210875214). The boss is at its center..."

"Move out! Secure it before nightfall!"

"That Pet Trainer Tajiri Satoshi is unbelievable... His pet advancement quest sends us to a level 30 monster zone to gather herbs. I'm only level 13! My death wouldn't matter much, but if you die, we won't reunite for ages... No choice—I'll skip it and return at level 30. Let's clear the main quests first." Yingning cast a regretful glance at the pet advancement quest in her task panel, reluctantly tearing her eyes away.

"But Master, I feel I'll become incredibly strong after advancement... What if we search the monster zone's outskirts? If herbs spawn there, we can gather them slowly between respawns. If not, we'll switch to main quests?" I unconsciously twitched my ears and blinked.

Yingning pondered. "Alright... But this quest clearly has multiple stages. Even if we pass this one, rewards aren't guaranteed. Later tasks will likely grow harder."

"Let's try! Please try!" I urged eagerly, bouncing with anticipation.

"Why do you seem more excited than I am?"

I avoided her gaze. "Ahem... Of course! It's a pet quest—I'm the one who gets stronger..."

Sorry, Assassin God, forgive me.

It's not weak faith—online games are just too powerful. I can't resist... OTZ...

This world's rules differ from reality everywhere, brimming with randomness. You can't control everything like real life, yet surprises keep coming... Amazing!

Ultra-rare herbs might hide in roadside bushes; a chatting villager could be the final boss; near-dead monsters might suddenly enrage and evolve; even the weakest newbie chickens could drop level 10+ top-grade skill books... I haven't experienced all this yet, but after the main quest turmoil, I'm burning to explore this unknown world!

Living here feels like gambling—but far more thrilling!

Maybe someday I'll write a book: "The Fall of Assassin 58."

"Just be extremely careful later. Don't provoke high-level monsters..."

"Mhm mhm mhm!" I nodded vigorously, eyes sparkling.

It's been so long! This feeling!

Everywhere overflows with the unknown—struggling against nature, against players, against game rules—slowly dissecting it all to taste victory's thrill!

"Alright, alright, let's go~ It's almost dark!" Yingning gripped the Longsword at her waist, watching my energetic self, and helplessly facepalmed.

"Hehe~♥"
