The Players and the Protagonist Want to Kill Me – Chapter 383

Chapter 2: New Century (Epilogue)

The potion to strengthen the physique, Xi Wei had it, but it was still in the experimental stage.

Due to the random probability of the System Store producing Sky Knight Potions and Great Knight Potions, Xi Wei had long ago exchanged for a Sky Knight Potion. He gave it to the Court Alchemist to research, hoping to achieve mass production of this potion in the future.

However, so much time had passed, and it might be due to the limited alchemy technology in the North Continent. Even as a Palace Alchemist, they were unable to replicate this Sky Knight-grade potion, and couldn’t even replicate the Great Knight Potion.

But the Court Alchemist was not without gains. In the process of deciphering these advanced potions, they managed to isolate the formulas for some other potions. One of these could enhance physical fitness.

The Court Alchemist named this potion the Fierce Dragon Potion, implying that after taking this potion, one would become as fierce as a giant dragon. Of course, this was an exaggerated description. It was just that after using this potion on captives and criminals, they all exploded and died. Xi Wei did not know if Call Me Arin could withstand the violent medicinal properties of the Fierce Dragon Potion.

He had previously planned to find a group of players to test the potion, but it was later put on hold due to the affairs of Demon City. Now that Call Me Arin had brought it up, it was time to start with him and have him try the enhanced Fierce Dragon Potion.

“I agree to your request. Please wait outside the Conference Hall. A alchemist will come to find you later and take you to receive the physique-enhancing potion.”

Xi Wei nodded slightly and readily agreed to Call Me Arin’s request. Call Me Arin was overjoyed. He hadn’t expected things to go so smoothly. Indeed, although King of Winter only gave five Copper Coins for each mission, money was ultimately an external possession. Perhaps he had no concept of money, and in reality, he was very generous! Or perhaps, the five Copper Coins were King of Winter’s test for them Players! This is love!

At this moment, Call Me Arin deeply understood King of Winter’s benevolent intentions.

[King of Winter’s favorability towards you has increased by 20. Current status: Friendly]

Call Me Arin looked up. With the system prompt now, he was even more certain of his thoughts. Although he was a Player, he wanted to die for King of Winter like the NPCs of Winter City!

…

After sending off the Player, Xi Wei began to deal with the matter of the Succubus. With the previous lesson learned, he had become wiser. Whenever it came to such matters, he would go to the “Magical Connie.”

However, Connie was not on the backyard lawn today. Xi Wei looked around and finally found Connie’s furtive figure under a tall tree. What was this little perverted dragon doing?

Xi Wei was a bit stunned. He tiptoed and crept closer.

“Chirrrp, chirrrp—”

As summer gave way to autumn, the old cicadas sang loudly. In a few days, this old cicada would die. Although Xi Wei could not see the life force of the cicada, insects with a lifespan of less than a month were always like this. It was desperately chirping in an attempt to find a mate, but perhaps due to being born too late, it no longer had a chance to conceive offspring with other females. Was Connie watching this old cicada? It was just an insect, was it worth watching so intently?

Xi Wei was a little confused. Just as he thought Connie would continue watching, Connie, who had been staring intently at the cicada, suddenly took a step forward. Her cherry-like small mouth suddenly tore open, transforming into a structure resembling a dragon’s mouth.

“Crunch!”

In an instant, she swallowed the cicada and the tree trunk it was on in one bite.

“Crrunch—”

The tree trunk, with a large bite missing, began to tilt. Then, with a “thud,” it crashed next to Xi Wei.

Connie: “Hiccup ~ (*๓´╰╯`๓)”

Xi Wei: “Σ(°Д°; !!”

“That… Connie…”

Xi Wei rubbed his nose and spoke suddenly, startling Connie into a scream.

“Ooooooooohhhhhhヽ(*。＞Д＜)o゜”

“Darling, how… how can you walk without making any sound! Are you trying to scare Connie to death?!” Looking at the dragon loli, whose dragon wings and horns had even emerged from being scared, Xi Wei sighed helplessly.

“It’s not that I’m walking without sound, it’s that you were too focused. Also, Connie, don’t eat everything… not everything can be eaten…”

“Ah!?”

Connie blushed, turned her back, her soft dragon tail behind her wagging restlessly. She was already extremely panicked in her heart.

It’s over! Darling saw her eating a bug! Darling won’t think Connie is a strange dragon, will he? But… but she only ate the bug out of curiosity, she didn’t have any other thoughts… She had to find a way to cover it up.

With that thought, Connie mustered her courage and turned back, her pretty face taut, putting on a “I am very serious right now” expression.

“Cough, cough, Darling, Connie didn’t eat any bugs just now. I was gnawing on the tree because we dragons need to supplement some dietary fiber, which is better for our digestion.”

Xi Wei: (￢_￢)

“So you were deliberately gnawing on the tree just now, and not eating that cicada?”

Connie put her hands on her hips and nodded seriously.

“Of course! Bugs are so ugly, how could Connie eat bugs!”

“If I ate bugs, how could I still kiss and cuddle with Darling? So Connie immediately blew the bug away in one go!”

“Chirp— Chirp—”

At this moment, the sound of a cicada suddenly came from Connie’s stomach. The little perverted dragon paused slightly, pressing her little stomach with both hands. But no matter how she pressed, the cicada kept chirping.

“Darling, you… you listen to Connie’s explanation…”

Xi Wei: (￢_￢)

“Wuwuwu…”

Connie wailed. Seeing Xi Wei’s expression, she knew that no matter how she explained it, she wouldn’t be able to clear things up… If only she had chewed what she swallowed just now. Although dragon digestion is very fast, it still takes time. Roughly estimating, this cicada could live for at least another minute.

“It’s over… wuwuwu… Connie’s eating bugs has been discovered… wuwuwu… Darling will definitely dislike Connie and will never be perverted with Connie anymore, wuwuwu…”

This time, the little perverted dragon was truly crying. Xi Wei could clearly feel her sadness. It seemed Connie was genuinely afraid that he would dislike her for eating bugs. In reality, he wouldn’t…

Xi Wei understood the dragon race quite well. They were a race that could eat anything and do anything, prideful, with extremely high potential strength, and possessing strong curiosity. Connie eating a cicada was not strange at all. However, now he could take advantage of Connie’s sadness. Otherwise, if he asked her for help, this little perverted dragon would definitely push her luck.

“Cough, cough, Connie, if you don’t want me to dislike you, then help me with one thing.”

Xi Wei’s expression was solemn, trying his best to remain expressionless. Don’t think this is an easy task. Facing an extremely cute girl like Connie who was “whimpering” and crying, only a scumbag could harden their heart.
