Kafka began organizing her words.
Although she didn't know what kind of existence was on the other side of the screen, as long as he was a person with his own thoughts, it would be easy to handle.
"The Xianzhou? I'm also on the Xianzhou."
"I never expected someone like you, Yu Ling, to be on the Xianzhou. This is such a delightful surprise!"
"Could I accidentally run into you? Or pass by the area you're in? If that happened, I'd be so excited I wouldn't be able to sleep."
Instead of directly asking where he lived, she took a roundabout approach to probe his location.
This was Kafka's mastery of human psychology!
And sure enough, Yu Ling quickly replied, "Hahaha, I'm on the [Luofu], little girl. Don't overthink it."
The Luofu!
The Luofu!
Kafka raised an eyebrow at Silver Wolf, as if to say, "This guy isn't so impressive after all."
Meanwhile, Silver Wolf licked her lips.
A major breakthrough in intelligence!
"Keep going, Kafka, keep going!"
Just as Kafka was about to type the next line, Yu Ling proactively sent a message.
"Little girl, do you want to meet me?"
"!!"
Even Kafka was slightly taken aback.
She hadn't expected him to be so direct!
He skipped all the intermediate steps and jumped straight to the most critical point!
They were Stellaron Hunters, the most dangerous figures in the galaxy!
Did Yu Ling really think he was talking to a harmless little girl?
Once they found the real Yu Ling, Kafka had a hundred ways to control him and extract how he knew so many secrets and turned them into a game.
The answer was obvious.
Kafka typed a single word in the chat box: "Yes."
"Then come to Changleyuan first. I'll tell you how to proceed from there. After all, I'm just an ordinary person. If I run into any dangerous individuals, it wouldn't be good. I hope you understand."
"Of course, of course. Yu Ling, you should be careful to protect your privacy. Don't let any dangerous people target you," Kafka kindly reminded him.
"Hahaha, thanks for the reminder. I'll be waiting for your message."
After exiting the chat interface.
Kafka's smile was impossible to hide.
Silver Wolf, on the other hand, took a deep breath.
She still couldn't quite believe it.
"It was that simple?"
"It was that simple. He even said it himself—he's just an ordinary person."
Seeing Kafka's excited expression, Silver Wolf suddenly looked troubled and said, "Kafka, when you find him, can you try not to hurt him?"
"Why?"
"As a gamer, I respect developers like him. This game is really good, and I still want to see what that limited character is like."
"Alright, I promise, Silver Wolf."
In Kafka's eyes, Yu Ling was just an ordinary person. Dealing with him would be a piece of cake.
All she needed was to use her verbal manipulation skills to easily control him.
The biggest challenge for this mission would be infiltrating the [Luofu] Xianzhou.
But infiltration was something Kafka excelled at.
For now.
She closed the game on her phone and prepared to meet this developer in person.
Silver Wolf, meanwhile, was ready to hack into the Xianzhou's systems to make things easier for Kafka.
If she weren't so bad at infiltration herself, she would have loved to go meet Yu Ling in Kafka's place.
The Stellaron Hunters were efficient.
They didn't need much preparation.
However.
Neither of them realized that every move they made was clearly visible to Lin Yu.
Inside the villa.
Lin Yu closed his computer and glanced at the sparse garden.
When Silver Wolf sent him the private message, he had already activated the [Eye of Insight] ability, using the message to locate its sender.
"Silver Wolf and Kafka. I knew the Stellaron Hunters would take an interest in me."
If this had happened earlier, Lin Yu definitely wouldn't have replied.
If they really found him, he would have been toyed with like a plaything.
But now.
With his territory established, Lin Yu couldn't wait for them to come find him!
"This villa is too big. It really needs a few maids to take care of it."
"The fish has taken the bait. Now, I'm just waiting for you to arrive."
"After all, the real hunter often appears in the form of prey."
...
On the Astral Express.
Pom-Pom was cleaning the train, and when it reached the observation car, it saw Himeko and Welt sitting together, playing a game.
It was a bit surprised but didn't pay too much attention, continuing to inspect the nooks and crannies of the train.
Meanwhile, Himeko and Welt were completely immersed in the game!
Admittedly, seeing their Trailblazing journey from the kids' perspective was a unique experience.
For example, landing on Jarilo-VI and encountering a local named Sampo.
Or clashing with the Silvermane Guards' captain, Gepard.
After explaining their identities, they went to the only city, Belobog, to meet its Supreme Guardian.
Although March 7th and the others were a bit reckless, the process went smoothly.
Himeko occasionally made some comments, while Welt watched with great interest.
It felt like reliving the adventures of his youth.
They were now in front of [Qlipoth Fort].
"The current Supreme Guardian is Lady Cocolia Rand. All major decisions in the city are issued by her," Gepard said.
Hearing this name, Welt was momentarily stunned.
Cocolia?
The image of a blonde woman flashed through his mind.
Then he forced a casual smile.
It must just be a coincidence—someone with the same name.
The scene shifted.
The game's storyline moved inside Qlipoth Fort.
A woman was standing in front of what appeared to be the Supreme Guardian on a high platform, arguing passionately.
"…But such sacrifices are meaningless. You can't—"
The Supreme Guardian on the platform was stern and interrupted, "You may leave, Bronya. Our guests have arrived."
Hmph, this Supreme Guardian was also blonde.
Although her appearance was somewhat similar, her demeanor was more reserved and cold compared to the one from Belobog.
Welt smiled and was about to click to trigger the next line of dialogue.
But his hand froze.
Wait!
What did she call that girl!?
