Chapter 1115: Chapter 507: Advancing to Legend_3

Watchman’s mind was suddenly filled with Gusha’s deafening voice, as the snake-like pupils in the sky opened; one glaring at the Watchman and the other looking towards Mu You.

Mu You looked at the snake-like pupils in the high sky, feeling his hair stand on end, but that was all; there was none of the terror or trembling described in the game, nor did the Divine Skin appear automatically.

It was evident, then, that Gusha’s power had significantly weakened.

But thinking about it, it made sense: according to the Lamp God, it was the end of the Fear Season and the beginning of the Huangwu Season, entering the period of Gusha’s power decline.

"Look, this guy is still so active, jumping out and giving us a scare," Watchman said as he helplessly dug at his ears.

Although the Watchman was smiling throughout, Mu You, being the original entity, immediately noticed the flicker of fatigue in his eyes.

It was apparent that the four thousand years hadn’t been as easy as he had described.

Thinking about it, engaging in a battle of wits with a creature like Gusha for four thousand years, any slight relaxation in vigilance could allow the opponent an opportunity to invade; he probably had to maintain a firm will even in his dreams, persisting for so many years, even the Watchman must be utterly exhausted by now.

Fortunately, he had come, and no matter what, everything would end today, and the Watchman would soon regain his freedom.

Mu You shook his head and turned to walk towards something in the back.

Bathed in the dim light, Mu You could vaguely see something that looked like a statue there.

Noticing Mu You’s actions, the Watchman immediately waved his hand, casting a beam of light towards this side.

With the light shining down, what was hidden in the darkness was suddenly revealed: a man in a cloak, standing still with one hand raised, like a wax statue.

Mu You sighed; this was indeed his game character, still maintaining the Mysterious Man’s skin, stuck in the state from when the connection was interrupted.

However, now his character’s entire body was covered in a layer of crystalline crystal, sealing him perfectly as if encapsulated in wax.

"What is this?"

"This is the Fairy’s Tear. The tear of a Superior Fairy, possessing the power to preserve and solidify matter," Tina floated nearby and sighed as she spoke.

"Original body, for these four thousand years, the Poison of Chaos has always been rampant on your character. If it weren’t for the little girl constantly suppressing it day and night, your character would have been devoured by Chaos Energy long ago," Watchman said.

"Fairy creatures are very devoted, especially those who have formed deep contracts. If the Contractor isn’t nearby, they become really agitated and restless, let alone you having disappeared for four thousand years..."

"In these four thousand years, she has been figuring out ways to preserve your body every day, to the extent her tears are almost dried up, original body, you mustn’t let her down..."

...

The two spoke turn by turn, causing Mu You’s forehead to sweat.

Meanwhile, the fairy girl just shyly looked at him, "This is all I should do..."

To this, Mu You could only respond with a rueful smile. No matter how simple the task, once it’s multiplied by four thousand years, it becomes extremely daunting.

It was hard for him to imagine what it felt like to guard an empty shell day in, day out for thousands of years.

Perhaps it was also during the long years of loneliness and anxiety that she changed from the originally pure and kind fairy into the somewhat radical and obsessive fairy she is now.

But the more he understood this, the more troubled he felt.

The burning effect of the fairy girl’s jealousy was just a minor issue; even with a maximum of 200 points, he now had the ability to easily erase it and ignore this side effect. What was truly difficult to calm was the emotional debt.

For the fairy girl, it was four thousand years of waiting; for him, it was just a moment. No matter how intense the fairy girl’s feelings for him now, he could not reciprocate equally; even if he showed superficial care and protection, it was merely a concession under the weight of debt, not genuine affection.

Mu You truly did not know how to repay the great debt of gratitude.

At first, when he had arrived in Bitter Garden, he instinctively avoided the fairy girl, perhaps because he had already sensed this kind of situation.

Mu You shook his head; it was not the time to think about these things.

He took out the Pen of Order from the ring, and under the Order perspective, the character in front became a body composed of numerous Order and Chaos Runes.

After observing for a while, Mu You raised the pen and started to wave it.

His game character could not go offline and collapse because it was anchored on the spot by the influence of the Poison of Chaos from the power of Chaos.

Though he still lacked the ability to detoxify directly, he could still alleviate some of the surface side effects and restore the character to a movable state.

As Mu You began to write, both the Watchman and Tina consciously quieted down, not daring to disturb him.

However, neither of them noticed that the fairy girl was standing behind Mu You, staring at him intently.

Mu You did not realize that, as he approached the game character and started the unsealing process, just like when he could see the fairy girl’s life memories, his memories and thoughts also began to be read by the fairy girl bit by bit.

After a long stupor, the fairy girl’s face showed a bitter expression.

"So that’s the case... did I bring trouble..."

"No, it shouldn’t be like this... I can’t be a burden... I don’t want to be a burden..."

The fairy girl murmured, and after a mental struggle, her originally gloomy face quickly became resolute, as if she had made some decision. Finally, casting a glance at Mu You’s face, a teardrop fell, and she quietly vanished into the darkness.

Mu You wrote in place for half an hour before he finally stopped.

And with the last stroke, the game character’s body crystals burst violently, scattering on the ground.

The game character finally regained mobility, its arms slowly dropping, and then quickly collapsing from top to bottom into a point, disappearing.

Mu You sighed with relief, finally managing to log out the game character. Now, returning to start the game again, the character should have returned to normal.

Before Mu You could even fully exhale, his body suddenly shone with a burst of golden light, and an enormous energy surged into his body without cause.

Staring in disbelief, Mu You’s level visibly began to soar.

21...22...23...

All the way to level 25!

Mu You felt that the reason it stopped at 25 was not because the energy was exhausted but because the bottleneck at level 25 firmly blocked the remaining energy; otherwise, it could have climbed much higher!

"What is this?" Coming to his senses, Mu You felt excited about his new level, but he was somewhat puzzled as he looked towards the Watchman.

"Just as expected," the Watchman said with a knowing expression.

"What do you mean?" Mu You asked, confused.

"Fairy beings don’t have a system of levels and experience; their gained experiences are automatically transferred to the Contractor. Number Two speculated earlier that even though your real body wasn’t here, your character being anchored here might allow storing of these experiences and could later be transferred back to your real self; it seems the guess was correct."

The Watchman smiled, "So, you should thank that young girl. The experience from every oddity she has vanquished over the years accumulated in your character’s body. It’s just a pity there are level limitations; otherwise, you might have reached the highest level instantly."
