"What? You're saying this NPC's danger level is S-rank?Did you read it wrong?She looks like the definition of harmless pink-haired moe…"
The player who was about to flirt muttered in disbelief.
"You've never heard the saying?The pinker they dress, the harder they hit.Look at that hair color—she screams danger."
The Adventurer player took a deep breath.
In his Exploration view, several lines floated above Citra Lili:
————————————Identity: Obsidian High PriestessHP: 100%Friendliness: 10%Danger Level: SCountermeasure: ???(Combat power gap too large. Unable to analyze.)————————————
"Seriously—don't provoke her.If she gets even slightly annoyed,we'll all have to respawn at the Bio-Energy Terminal."
He warned earnestly.
"Also—you're really brave huh?You wanna flirt with the girl NPC that Brother Chuan personally brought back?Even if she's not the heroine, she's obviously at least a main supporting girl!You're basically asking to lose your account!"
Another player shook his head.
"You mean…this pink twin-tail girl is Brother Chuan's official CP?"
The flirting player suddenly went cold.
"Phew… thank goodness you stopped me.If I really walked up and said something stupid…I might actually not be able to log in tomorrow…"
"Liang Chuan… I think they misunderstood something."
Citra Lili whispered anxiously.
"I don't mind them calling me a 'beautiful girl.'But they seem to think you and I…have that kind of relationship.My—my age could make me your grandmother!"
Her "old face" flushed bright red.Two hundred years old, yet still easily embarrassed.
"Age doesn't matter.Even thousand-year-old snake demons get chased by people.As long as the outside looks like a cute girl—you're forever a cute girl."
Liang Chuan waved casually.
"Ah?"
Citra Lili's heart wobbled.
Why did he say it like that?!Is he… paying attention to me?Does he… like me??
"Um… Boss Lady?Can we have our items now?"
A player waved at her.
"哦—拿货拿货."Citra Lili snapped out of it and started working the item list.
"You want… ten Small Vitality Potions, right?"
With a thought, the items appeared on the counter.
Even the High Priestess was stunned.
She could pull items straight out of the supply list!
She tried calling out more items—but they only materialized after the player paid.And anything summoned from the "otherworld supplier" was non-refundable.
"Hmm? I received 1 copper coin?"
After the sale, a game-like notification flashed in her mind.Her eyes widened further.
"What a powerful ability!It can deliver items from afar…and it communicates directly with my soul!"
"Boss Lady… can you hurry?I'm not being impatient, but you spacing out so much is kinda frustrating."
A player finally complained.
"She's processing a lot of new information.Give her a moment."
Liang Chuan stepped in.
"Sorry! Sorry! I'll get your items right away!"
Citra Lili apologized, then patted Izpapa—who was lying nearby like a giant dog.
"What are you staring for?Help me!"
Izpapa:I'm… a summoning mount…Why am I working retail??
...
But as expected from the legendary figure of Mistshroud,she quickly mastered the rhythm.
In just half an hour,she handled all purchases from the entire base.
When she finally closed shop,she was smiling so hard her face almost cramped.
"Just that little time and I earned 50 copper coins!I can buy fiveSmall Mana Potions!With income like this, I can finally use my spiritual power freelywithout worrying about the aftereffects!"
She immediately exchanged all her wages for potionsand hugged them like precious wine.
Her eyes sparkled like stars.
"I suggest you save 1 silver first and buy a Pigskin Backpack.It has storage space."
Liang Chuan tapped his chin.
"Since you signed a system contract,you should be able to use game items normally."
"Spatial storage…?"
Citra Lili frowned and glanced toward Celestia.
"It has nothing to do with the Heavenly Principles.We're from another world.We don't need her permission to use spatial tech."
Liang Chuan snorted.
"Grandma! Are you okay?! Grandma!!!"
A familiar voice echoed.
Both turned to see Oloron rushing over,with Piran and other Mistshroud tribesmen behind him.
"Oloron! Took your sweet time huh!"
Citra Lili put her hands on her hips."If Liang Chuan hadn't revived and come back,you wouldn't be seeing your grandma alive!"
"Sorry, Grandma."
Oloron lowered his head.
"I contacted the Flame Lord as fast as I could.She sped off on her vehicle—we couldn't keep up.Wait—Grandma, you said revived?Grandpa?! Didn't you explode? How are you not dead?!"
Liang Chuan: "???"
"Your grandma said it already.I revived.And stop asking why I can resurrect.It's not just a Natlan thing."
Liang Chuan cut him off.
"I understand.Grandpa can resurrect because of otherworldly power."
Oloron nodded.
"Citra Lili, are you returning to the tribe with us?"
Mistshroud Chief Piran asked.
"I'm not going back yet!I'm staying to open shop for at least one more hour—after more people gather!"
Citra Lili lifted her chin proudly.
"I need to earn at least 1 silverand buy my Pigskin Backpack before I return!"
At this point, she was already addictedto earning wages and buying system items.
