A villager?

Or a werewolf?

Mu You couldn’t determine the identity of the little girl.

Regardless, he definitely shouldn’t go over at this point.

Mu You opted for an ‘Arrow Attack’, preparing to test her strength first.

[You suspect that the little girl might be a werewolf in disguise.

Instead of getting close, you hide in the distance and shoot several cold arrows at her!]

[Just as the arrows are about to hit, a magic shield rises from the girl, bouncing all your arrows away.]

[Seemingly angered by your actions, the girl takes out her magic wand and casts a ‘Fireball Technique’ at you.]

[You are killed by a basin-sized fireball!]

[You have died, lifespan -1, remaining lifespan 38 years.]

“Well well.”

Mu You was dumbfounded; this little girl was not to be trifled with.

All four spells he currently possessed were of a supportive nature, and he has yet to encounter an offensive magic.

On the other hand, this little girl casually cast two spells, both of which were practical combat spells.

Mu You had no doubt she has even more spells up her sleeve.

“The level difference is too great…”

Mu You quickly came to this realization.

It appears that this little girl is likely a player too, and not a low-level one at that.

As to whether she’s disguised as a werewolf, it’s still uncertain.

Pressing the pocket watch, time rewinds, taking him back to the choice he made earlier.

With the mindset of laying low, Mu You chose ‘Look but do not see’.

[You decide to turn a blind eye to the little girl and quietly walk away.]

[Watching your hurried departure, the girl seemed annoyed by your indifference.

Suddenly, she stood up, waved her magic wand, and released a ‘Fireball Technique’ towards you.]

[You are killed by a basin-sized fireball!]

[You have died, lifespan -1, remaining lifespan 38 years.]

“Damn it!”

Mu You was so exasperated he nearly passed out.

Wasn’t it enough that you were annoyed when I shot at you?

Now, even when I leave, you’re still pissed off?

Should I indulgently let you break a vase or two?

“Well, if all I lose is one life…”

Mu You muttered resignedly under his breath, pressed the pocket watch again, and then chose ‘Go over and help her’.

He didn’t have any expectations; as a character who nearly had no close combat ability and failed even against a rabbit, not to mention a high-level player.

[You approach the little girl, intending to help her bandage her wounds.

The scheming girl reveals a dagger in her hand and lunges at you!]

[You grab her hand and resist desperately.

Unfortunately, she’s much stronger than you, easily overpowering you, and the dagger stabs into your chest…]

“As expected…”

Mu You chuckled bitterly.

He knew it was hopeless.

He shook his head and prepared to respawn.

However, the next course of events in the text narrative suddenly took a turn and some bizarre options popped up…

[The girl’s dagger suddenly stops when it’s three inches into your body.]

[In the throes of near-death agony, you feel the dagger being pulled out.

You faintly hear the girl muttering: “So weak?

It seems you are not a werewolf…”]

[A pale green light descends, and the girl casts a ‘healing spell’ on you.

Your injuries heal instantly.]

[The girl quickly leaves the square.

You, you survived!]

“Huh???”

Mu You was dumbfounded for a good seven or eight seconds before he came to.

He actually survived?

He hurriedly reread the last three lines of text several times.

At the moment she was about to kill him, the girl willingly gave up and used a healing spell to cure him…

Her last words were, ‘So weak, it seems you are not a werewolf’…

Does that mean she’s also a villager?

She pretended to be hurt to lure the werewolf?

Mu You was astonished!

If this was true, it meant this girl’s level was incredibly high!

At least in the game, she had no fear of confronting the werewolf, which was why she dared to reveal herself in a crowd, deliberately portraying herself as weak to attract the werewolf…

“Impressive!”

Mu You was pleasantly surprised.

The arrival of this little girl revealed that he was not fighting alone; he had a teammate!

And it was a boss-level player who could confront the werewolf head-on!

Of course, he couldn’t fully trust this little girl yet because there was another possibility: the girl was still a werewolf in disguise.

Her strange machinations might be to confuse Mu You.

Once he let his guard down considering her an ally, she could then strike him down in reality…this trick was likely similar to the wolf’s decoy strategy.

“Hmm, seems like it’s getting more mentally challenging…”

Mu You rubbed his brow, exhaling a sigh of relief.

Whether this girl was an ally or a werewolf, it was all the same to him.

In this game, relying on others was a dead-end.

His goal remained unchanged: to continue improving himself until he had the strength to protect himself!

“Whatever, let’s go find the witch and get some poison.” Mu You set this matter aside and continued gaming.

To speed things up, he spent all his energy exploring the village.

[You have found the ‘Village Pharmacy’…]

[You have found the ‘Lumberjack’s Cabin’…]

[You have found the ‘Village Bar’…]

[You have found the ‘Collector’s Basement’…]

…

Over two days, using nine points of energy, plus the effect of time rewinding, Mu You managed to discover over twenty new locations in the village!

However, whether the village was too big or he was just unlucky, he still hadn’t stumbled upon the witch’s residence in all twenty tries…

In the blink of an eye, the two-day break was over, and it was time to return to work on Monday.

At seven in the morning, Mu You woke up promptly from his slumber.

The first thing he did was instinctively reach for his phone.

He turned his head only to see that his phone was propped up on the nightstand with a phone stand, while Cola, the cat, was sprawled in bed, staring intently at the phone screen.

Mu You got up and glanced at the screen.

He looked at Cola with a puzzled expression, “You didn’t stay up all night watching anime, did you?”

Last night, Mu You wanted to test the range of Cola’s ‘Mental Communication’ ability, so he casually searched the Internet for a Naruto clip to show him.

As a result, not only did Cola understand Japanese, he could even understand the subtitles!

Mu You reckoned his ability must be similar to the ‘Star Spirit Dictionary’.

As long as he sees or hears other languages, it automatically translates it into a language he can understand, cat language.

Mu You genuinely admired this ability.

If he possessed it, he wouldn’t have to study the Star Spirit language to the point of exhaustion.

Unfortunately, this ability seemed exclusive to familiars.

According to Cola, for him to learn this ability, he would first have to become a familiar.

After completing the test, Mu You was about to put away his phone, but Cola wasn’t done yet and insisted on watching Naruto!

Mu You was bothered by his fuss and conveniently played the first episode of Naruto, telling him to go to sleep when he was tired.

Now, an entire night had passed, and Cola was still maintaining the same posture as when he started watching.

The screen showed that the progress was already at the 21st episode!
