Lord of the Myriad Worlds

Chapter 36: The Veteran Player's Terrifying Skills

Li Wei stood frozen for two or three seconds before he finally processed the situation.

Oh, this must be his so-called fiancée Mixi. She's really ugly—reality truly isn't like novels where beautiful women are common. Attractive women are always rare finds.

Hmm, wait a moment,

The camp is currently empty. Penny went mining, while Fila took Leon fishing and gathering.

So she must have wandered around inside and outside the camp before eventually finding her way here?

That being the case, has she already figured out everything that's happened?

Thinking this far, Li Wei finally managed to clumsily put on an expression of pleasant surprise, preparing to deliver some lines to remind this new player not to say anything foolish.

But unexpectedly, before he could even speak, the new player Mixi had already become so emotional that tears streamed down her face. She threw herself into his arms like a little bird seeking shelter, weeping openly as if she had endured countless hardships and grievances, finally reuniting with her dearest person.

"George, oh George, it's really you! I almost thought I'd never see you again, wuu wuu..."

Meanwhile, Li Wei turned to stone, cold sweat pouring down his back.Damn, this is a veteran player—definitely someone who's cleared the game at least once. That's why she has certain privileges to know my identity and all the family relationships?

Whereas newbie players don't even know their own names or family connections.

But why would she expose herself as a veteran player?

In comparison, Li Wei's acting skills were clumsy and awkward.

It wasn't that he lost control because this woman threw herself into his arms, but rather that he knew full well this was all fake, yet this woman showed not even a trace of performance in her actions.

He could only stiffly pat her back, saying "It's okay now, it's okay now," while this woman delivered an Oscar-worthy performance that made Li Wei appear utterly pale and unconvincing. If there had been a camera filming this moment, if there had been an audience watching, he would undoubtedly have become the target of mass ridicule.

Seriously, he wanted to call cut but couldn't stop it, forced to watch dumbfounded as this woman performed with seamless fluidity and dramatic intensity.

He almost got swept into her performance himself.

Incredible!

And if even her acting skills were this refined and powerful, one could imagine how dominant and capable she must be in other areas. Li Wei suddenly realized that Penny probably wouldn't be able to hold onto the Family Head position next month.

"George..."

At this moment, Mixi let out a long sigh, gazing at Li Wei with teary, blurred eyes. Although she wasn't good-looking, this depth of emotion and spine-tingling performance put Li Wei completely on guard, even causing some physical reaction.

Damn it!

Just as Li Wei was about to push Mixi away, she stepped back first, her face flushing red, appearing extremely shy, with that look in her eyes—damn, this girl is a pro!

"George, I'm hungry... Where are Fila and Penny, and Uncle Anson?"

"He died, unfortunately. As for Fila and Penny, they're fine. Leon has returned too. I'll cook for you." Li Wei answered honestly.

"George, you're really too good to me, but I can't let you cook for me. You must be exhausted from chopping wood. Aren't you planning to go to Vail Province anymore? So you're planning to settle here? That house is built so wonderfully—did you build it, George?"

Mixi skillfully shifted the conversation, then stepped forward to gently wipe the sweat from Li Wei's brow. Tsk tsk, see that? The methods of a veteran player—he could only watch in awe.

But this also indicated that veteran players only know the storyline identities and relationships, not the professions of other players, so she's probing for information here.

However, this isn't particularly crucial intelligence—they'll find out eventually anyway.

More importantly, she's his fiancée in the storyline. When she speaks to him, he can't pretend to be mute. Over the past three months, Fila, Penny, and he had avoided unnecessary communication, afraid of triggering some plot.

But look at how naturally she handles everything.

"Uh, I'm not really skilled at that. Penny built it, along with that Blacksmith Shop. You know, she even discovered a small Iron Deposit. She's really capable."

Li Wei said without any psychological burden, letting this veteran player compete with Penny and Fila. Three bitches make a perfect drama—he'd just enjoy the show.

"Really? Sister Penny is amazing! But George, you're not bad either. George, is there anything I can help you with? Or do you have any plans for the near future?"

Mixi looked at Li Wei with worshipful admiration, while Li Wei was already numb, just wanting to quickly send her away.

"Fila took Leon fishing—they're using woven Fish Traps to catch fish, pretty impressive. Penny went mining. I'm responsible for reinforcing the Perimeter Wall. Winter is coming, after all, and we need to expand the houses too, but I only handle chopping enough wood. Then, when there's nothing else to do, I do some hunting. Oh, and the Wheat Field—I need to handle the harvest."

Li Wei spilled everything like beans pouring from a bamboo tube, laying out this month's main tasks in one breath. Why bother? It's not like they'll fight to the death anyway—they're just competing for the Family Head position. No need to endure this torture anymore, and he didn't want to keep playing the emotional acting game with Mixi.

Sure enough, Mixi smiled at this moment, seemingly seeing through Li Wei's thoughts.

And she had indeed obtained all the intelligence she needed.

"George, it's so wonderful having you here. I'm not scared at all with you around—you're my knight."

Mixi emotionally threw herself into Li Wei's arms again, while Li Wei was already completely numb, not knowing what to say anymore.

Seriously, you veteran players should know when enough is enough. Don't just pick on us newbies and torment us relentlessly. The worst part is he has to play along with the act—he can't even show his displeasure.

After what felt like an eternity, just as Li Wei was about to be forced to raise his flag, Mixi skillfully and gently extricated herself, looking up to say, "George, I was just thinking—you're all preparing for winter, but you've overlooked one thing: winter clothing for keeping warm. You don't have a single piece! Let me sew clothes for you all. I saw some wolf pelts in the storage earlier—I can make one for each person. I can even weave straw sandals for everyone. It's just... I don't know if Fila and Penny would agree?"

Hmm?

Li Wei blinked, quickly calming down. So one of this veteran player Mixi's professions is Tailor?

Is her Tailor card two-star or three-star?

Of course, this isn't particularly crucial intelligence, but winter clothing for warmth is definitely needed. Currently, those wolf pelts belong to the family collectively—all family members are entitled to use them, at least in theory.

For example, after that cheap father died, Li Wei could freely use the family tools as long as no one else was using them.

So why would she ask this?

Why would Fila and Penny object?

It doesn't make logical sense, right?

This Mixi—she's not setting a trap for him, is she?

Various thoughts raced through Li Wei's mind.

But ultimately, he nodded solemnly—not because he feared any trap, but because he had to follow the storyline logic. His fiancée wants to proactively sew clothing, the family has the relevant production materials available, and they immediately face the need for winter warmth—what reason could he possibly have to refuse?

Storyline logic takes priority.
