Two swift shadows descended from the sky, landing with a thunderous crash.

In the next second, two tornado-like streams of data light roared into the air, resembling two white dragons swirling upwards.

This was a bizarre sight that could only be seen in the Inner World; both Feng Bujue and Li Ruoyu were witnessing such a spectacle for the first time.

"Hmm... I see." As a few wisps of black data flowed through his eyes, Brother Jue had already discerned the principle behind this phenomenon. He murmured, "The atmosphere here, under the influence of energy, creates a visual effect similar to a chemical reaction…"

"Which means…" Ruoyu continued, "Battles of a high level here will be extremely spectacular?"

"More than spectacular, it's downright cool." Brother Jue replied with a smile.

As they spoke, the white light in the distance gradually dissipated.

Within the light streams, two petite figures appeared…

Judging from their appearance, they were two Asian girls. They both looked about ten years old; one was dressed entirely in red, the other in green. The style of their clothing was very unique, giving the impression of a skintight combat suit, but in a children's version…

"Derivatives?" Ruoyu murmured to Brother Jue, watching the two uninvited guests.

"Mm…" Feng Bujue immediately responded, "And both are Level Two."

From a data perspective, Brother Jue saw two bright lights around them.

"Do we need to prepare for a fight?" Ruoyu asked again.

"Of course." Feng Bujue replied, "We always should…"

Before he could finish, the two Derivatives had already moved. They stepped forward and began to skim across the ground, rushing toward Brother Jue and Ruoyu.

"Attacking without a word…" Brother Jue muttered as he watched.

"Looks like we have no choice." Ruoyu's face was grim. As she spoke, she gripped [Sealing Holy].

They were calm and cautious, and prepared to deal with the sudden attack.

However, the two Derivatives didn't make any attacking moves. They simply arrived three meters in front of the players at an astonishing speed, and then stopped, no longer approaching.

"May I ask… what brings you two here?" Feng Bujue fixed his gaze on the two "lolis" and asked warily.

He didn't ask for their names, because he had already "seen" their name codes directly: d2-Chi, d2-Qing.

"I detected strange data nearby, so I came to take a look." d2-Chi tilted her head, replying with a very arrogant look and tone, "What? Do you have a problem with that?"

"Hmph~ Quite the attitude." Brother Jue muttered inwardly.

But on the surface, he calmly replied, "No, not at all. Look all you want."

"Your black firewall is so strange." d2-Chi immediately continued, "It can actually block my scanning signal at the outermost layer?"

"Heh heh... is that so…" Brother Jue replied awkwardly, saying something pointless.

In his heart, he sneered, "Hmph... you should be glad you can't break through. If you were like v1-War God, successfully infiltrating the external firewall and starting a scan... then you would inevitably be backlashed by me."

"You're players?" After failing to scan Brother Jue, d2-Chi quickly shifted her attention to Ruoyu. This time, she finally successfully read the relevant data.

"Yes, we're players." Feng Bujue took half a step forward, shielding Ruoyu with his body, and admitted it decisively.

"Eh—" After hearing this, d2-Chi immediately showed a hesitant expression. After thinking for a few seconds, she turned to d2-Qing beside her and asked, "Should we kill them?"

"You decide." d2-Qing answered the question in an indifferent tone.

"Then..." d2-Chi gently hooked her lower lip with her right index finger, blinking her big, watery eyes, appearing to be in deep thought.

"Hey hey…" Feng Bujue interjected, "Don't you have any principles? What's with this feeling of taking lives on a whim?"

"Huh?" d2-Chi glared at him, "When you encounter Derivatives in a scenario, you can choose to help or kill us based on your mood. So when we encounter players in the Inner World, why can't we decide whether to let them live or die based on our mood?"

"Uh…" At that moment, Brother Jue was actually stumped.

Ruoyu immediately looked at d2-Chi with an encouraging gaze and said, "What you said makes so much sense, he's speechless."

"Hey! What's with that gloating attitude of yours?" Feng Bujue turned his head and shouted.

"Okay!" After a few seconds, d2-Chi held her left palm up, flat in front of her chest, clenched her right fist, gently tapped it on her left palm, and said, "I've decided!"

"Ho oh~" Before Feng Bujue could hear what she had decided, he jumped back, flashing two meters to his side, then adopted a stance, striking Huang Feihong's signature pose, "What do you want?"

"I won't kill you." d2-Chi replied.

This made Brother Jue breathe a sigh of relief.

But two seconds later, d2-Chi spoke again, "Humans, let's be friends." After saying this, she paused for half a second and immediately added, "If you refuse, I'll kill you~"

Hearing this, Feng Bujue was speechless again... Although he knew that Level Two Derivatives mostly had independent and distinct personalities (such as Chitie, Leng Feng, Shining, Xue Lan, etc.), this was the first time he had met such a neurotic brat.

"Okay." Before Brother Jue could respond, Ruoyu had already taken two steps forward, extending her hand to the other party, "Nice to meet you, I'm Siyu Ruoli."

"Ah… your players' names are so strange." d2-Chi replied as she shook Ruoyu's hand, "I'm d2-Chi." She paused, looked at her companion, and introduced, "She's d2-Qing."

"Someone whose name is a mix of code and text has the nerve to say other people's IDs are strange…" Feng Bujue didn't interrupt; he just silently complained in his heart.

"Well, it's nice to meet you." Ruoyu replied.

"Ah... whatever..." d2-Qing had a chubby face and always looked listless, "Just let Chi decide everything..."

"Haha…" d2-Chi smiled, "Then everyone will be friends from now on."

In a sense, d2-Chi was actually a very terrifying Derivative... A casual, rash thought could change her behavior pattern. In this respect, she did have similarities to Feng Bujue's elusive style.

"Okay…" Now that things had come to this, Feng Bujue could only play along. He looked at d2-Chi and said, "Since we're friends, we should help each other, right…" His reaction was quite fast, "Can you take us somewhere?"

"Where to?" d2-Chi asked.

"Uh…" Feng Bujue hesitated slightly and replied, "Ljn Paradise."
