Either being completely ignored, or being handed a pill to treat mental illness, with many children coming over to gently comfort Qi Xu, urging her to leave this place...
Actually, Qi Xu already had a pretty good understanding of the specific situation in this Color Secret Realm.
The problem was most likely that wisteria flower. If she wasn't mistaken, the children in white robes being well-fed and taken care of in the castle every day were its nourishment.
To break the situation, the solution should be to kill that wisteria flower and rescue these children wearing white robes.
But the problem was... Qi Xu couldn't leave the castle, nor could she find the wisteria flower. She had been too enthusiastic at the beginning... so much so that now no one was willing to send her to her death.
The white-bearded butler also kept ignoring Qi Xu, who wasn't wearing a white robe, as if he couldn't see her. Even when walking straight towards her, he wouldn't change his path.
Qi Xu guessed it was probably because the letter in her pocket wasn't completely burned. So, she didn't have a white robe, but because half of it was burned, she also didn't count as a guest.
She had become a "neutral entity" and the only special existence in the castle.
Qi Xu calculated the time; the end of the month was approaching. She couldn't delay any longer and decided to just go crazy. She originally wanted to get along with everyone as a normal person, but later found that acting crazy suited her better.
Whenever she saw a child, Qi Xu would forcefully tear their white robe. After tearing four or five robes, the white-bearded butler finally "saw" Qi Xu.
Like a madman, he charged at her with his cane, no longer ignoring Qi Xu but instead treating her like a mortal enemy.
Qi Xu didn't fight him either. She just used various "Scarlet Assault" dashes to change positions, solely to tear off the white robes from all the children.
The children whose robes had been torn off... at first stood there helpless and dazed. After they reacted, more and more people hid behind Qi Xu.
The scene became quite interesting: the white-bearded butler was the hawk, Qi Xu was the mother hen, protecting a bunch of chicks behind her.
Until there wasn't a single child in a white robe left in the room, and finally, midnight struck. With a "boom," a tremendous noise echoed, and the entire castle shook violently. Countless wisteria flowers burst through the windows.
Qi Xu was just about to take action when she discovered that inside the wisteria flowers were the children in white robes. Her movements instantly hesitated; these were all the children she had interacted with these past days.
Qi Xu directly took out that half-burned, yellowed invitation letter. "I am a distinguished guest. How dare you show me this scene?"
The wisteria flower visibly twitched on the spot, silently trying to retreat. Qi Xu directly reached out, grabbed its vine, and yanked it back with great force, tearing open the petals and forcefully pulling the child inside back out.
The wisteria flower wanted to escape, but the children who had been stripped of their white robes suddenly gathered at the window openings, one after another using their bodies to block the exits, until Qi Xu had rescued all the children trapped within the wisteria flowers.
Looking at the room full of adoring eyes, Qi Xu couldn't help but straighten her back. Just as she was preparing to give a brief speech about the rescue and lead everyone to charge out of the castle to fiercely confront the wisteria flower, she suddenly felt dizzy and was directly teleported back to her vehicle.
Qi Xu was frustrated. Why was every Color Secret Realm so bizarre? Clearly, her plan wasn't fully realized yet. Why was she suddenly teleported out?
[Congratulations, player, for successfully awakening the new skill "Social Chameleon Outburst Technique." Compared to your combat strength, your eloquence and social skills seem to be even more formidable.]
"Social Chameleon Outburst Technique" (Level 1): "An elite individual with social chameleon syndrome, you will never find yourself isolated and helpless!
During group combat, when facing enemies of any species, after successfully saying the phrase 'Hey, friend, we're on the same side!', there is an 80% chance to successfully turn them for 10 minutes! The target will instantly regard you as a comrade-in-arms to go through life and death with.
A successful turn consumes 500 points of Mental Strength Index. A failed turn does not deduct Mental Strength Index. This skill can only succeed once per day. The stronger the target's mental strength, the lower the chance of turning them. If the target's Mental Strength Index is lower than the player's own, failure is highly unlikely unless luck is exceptionally bad.
Warning: Do not use this lightly during BOSS battles, to avoid enraging the target and triggering a Berserk state!"
Qi Xu read it carefully several times and found this skill very interesting. As long as the target isn't successfully turned, you can keep trying to turn them! After all, failures don't count against the limit!
It seemed really fun. It would definitely come in handy in the upcoming "Strongest Contender Championship" next month.
Her own Mental Strength Index should be relatively high. Turn their leader first, and see how their underlings dare to attack!
The 10-minute duration was a bit short, but she wasn't picky. Any ability skill has a chance to be upgraded.
Having successfully awakened a new skill and having gone through this Color Secret Realm completely unscathed, Qi Xu was in an exceptionally good mood. She was just about to gather everyone for a meet-up.
When she discovered... something seemed off.
Her private messages had received over a thousand messages, almost bursting.
Qi Xu hurriedly clicked on Ah Bian's message first to read it.
"There's a player who merged over from Zone 03 called JuicyFart. He's been arrogantly causing trouble in our zone for several days with about twenty people.
Breaking Cocoon into Butterfly and Golden Bell Armor Iron Shirt teamed up with the rescue squad and went to confront them once, but they lost. Because one of them is an ability user, and his skill is quite abnormal and disgusting.
He can steal the opponent's weapons. Ah Die's Red Tassel Spear, Master Chef's shield, and Laicai's level 7 machine gun were all stolen by him.
In a real fight, the other side definitely couldn't win, but they said they want to see you, to talk face-to-face. If we insist on fighting, they'll just take the weapons and switch zones. Although I used a Zone Lock Card, I'm worried they might maliciously discard or destroy the weapons.
That would be a huge loss. So I told our side to hold off and not act, thinking to wait for you to return."
Invincible Black Whirlwind: "I'm back. What's the name of the player with the skill to steal weapons? I'll go meet them first."
Tonsils Never Speak: "StickyFingers. No need to rush. How's your condition?"
Invincible Black Whirlwind: "Very good. I even awakened a new skill. Perfect timing to go practice with this StickyFingers and JuicyFart."
Tonsils Never Speak: "So cool, boss! Last to go, first to return—that's you. Can you take me along? I'll still be your personal photographer."
"Of course, my Ah Bian, come quickly!"
