Alice in the Land of Steam

Chapter 92 Is Miss Xie Mi a traitor?

Mysterious and deep blue beams rushed towards the sky and the earth, like a flooding tide; countless 0s and 1s intertwined and changed, reconstructing the essence of this world. The boundary between reality and games gradually blurred, and finally became indistinguishable from each other.

When the light faded, the scene before our eyes had changed dramatically.

After starting the "First Fantasy" cartridge again, the scene where Alice descends is no longer the previous copy [The ruins of the city of Linwell at the end of the world], but the surrounding garden is directly pixelated. Although it is just a grid of small squares, the style of painting is very delicate and still retains that beautiful and dreamy style.

This time there is no cutscene, nor any opening narration, only a row of gilded fonts reflected in the sky, telling players the name of this new copy: [Prosperous Secret Realm Rostin Underground Garden].

Then he went straight into combat.

The enemy camp is composed of rats who wanted to escape but were forced into battle by Alice. Their stats are similar: [LV10 Pathogen Rat A HP200/200], and the rest are just A replaced with BCDEFG. However, the rats that have become pixel models are a bit cute, not as scary as before.

On their side, Ringer and Saint Shallia were naturally not in the team. Instead, there was a stone giant with a somewhat silly look, and a little elf that was constantly flapping its butterfly wings, looking like a large moth.

[LV30 Stone Spirit·Cluster Form HP2500/2500]

[LV20 Fairy Maid-Shaymi HP300/300]

Alice said she was emotionally stable regarding the fact that she had inexplicably become a magician.

……

——That’s how it should have been.

The fairy maid let out a cry of shattered consciousness.

Metien kept the last few words in his heart and did not say them out loud.

But it wasn't until Rat A pounced on her and bit her, causing [HP-29] damage, that she suddenly realized something was wrong: What was going on? Why was it Rat's turn?
Shouldn't it be my turn?
Alice, who was attacked first, was a little confused. She subconsciously glanced at the status bar of the mice and found a clue.

Alice tried her best to persuade Shemi to accept the concept of "game". Apparently, this form of entertainment was too advanced for a 19th century fantasy race. Until Metien said lightly, "It's magic."

"In short," she raised the holy sword in her hand towards the pathogen rats that were squeaking and showing great anxiety, "kill these guys first."

Although she didn't have Ling's milk or Saint Shallia's crutches, she was still full of confidence. After all, the opponent was a rat whose average level was only LV10, while her level had risen to LV30 after defeating Fiyali. With such a big gap, shouldn't she kill the rat directly?

I think so.

Does this conversation seem familiar?

Metien next to him tilted his head: How strange.

So Shemi accepted this statement.

"kindness!"

[Fairy Wind: In this battle, your attack action will be taken first.]

The honest stone warrior stretched out his hand and scratched his rock head. With low intelligence, he could only obey orders and fight, so he had no sense of changes in the surrounding environment. But Miss Shemi was shocked and panicked after she reacted: "Wow, where is this!? Is it a garden? Why did it become so strange? And you, Metien, Alice, why are you like this too?"

Shaymi blinked his eyes. "Just like the innate magic of our traveler goblins?"

The pink-haired little girl said seriously, "It's a special and magical magic that only Sister Alice can master!"

“Ugh!!?”

Alice responded: "Don't be so mean, Shaymi, you're a pixel model yourself."

After all, she has never played games, but she really knows magic.

It is a very powerful BUFF.

The question is, why do rats have this BUFF?

Miss Shemi, do you have any idea about this matter? "Huh?" The fairy maid who was being stared at was confused, and her big blue eyes were full of confusion: "What, what's wrong, Alice? You keep staring at me?"

"nothing."

Alice withdrew her gaze. Since she was cute enough... I mean, since we were both maids, she would not make a fuss about it this time.

Besides, Alice didn't take this accident to heart.

What if I let the rat attack first? Can a mere level 10 trash monster bite me to death?
Perhaps they sensed Alice's contempt, but the mice were so excited that they ignored the stone giant in the front and the two little girls at the back and attacked Alice. However, they could not use skills, only basic attacks, and the damage they caused was basically around 30 points. The golden-haired hero, who had 30 HP after reaching level 950, did not take it seriously at all.

The second mouse came up and took a bite, HP-31. Alice looked relaxed and had no pressure at all.

The third mouse came up and gave her a claw, HP-29. Alice said her scalp was itchy and she wanted to be beaten.

The fourth mouse came up and hit her, HP-33. Alice frowned and found that something seemed to be wrong.

The fifth rat came up and hit her directly with a big punch, triggering a critical hit, HP-61, Alice was a little overwhelmed.

……

There were about ten pathogenic rats that broke into the garden before. The combined stone warriors killed several of them with one punch. The remaining ones tried to escape but were pulled into the game by Alice. There were 11 of them, from Rat A to Rat K. They took turns to attack Alice. Although the damage of a single attack was very low, the combined damage caused considerable damage:

[LV30 Brave-Alice HP599/950]

Directly knocked off 351 of her HP.

"Ugh." Alice's mouth twitched when she saw her remaining health: "Is this not good?"

This damage is comparable to that of Fialli in night elf form, right?
Do rats also have clusters?
Although Fiyali is fierce, can she compare with the rats in our Rostin city?

Fortunately, the rats' turn was over, and it was Alice's turn. She directly used [Courage Slash], and the holy blade of light swept across, clearing the health bar of Rat A in one shot: [HP-363].

Instant kill.

[You defeated the enemy pathogen Plague Rat A (LV10)]

[You gained 200 experience points]

Not only is it terrible, but it also gives very little experience points.

During the Stone Spirit Warrior's turn, it seemed that it had no skills to use and could only use basic attacks. However, when it punched down, the damage number that popped up was ridiculously large: [HP-778].

During Metien's turn, the pink-haired girl, who had transformed from an RPG novice to a beginner, did not need Alice's instructions and consciously applied [Simple Bandage] to her. However, the recovery number that popped up was not large, and there was no immediate effect. Fortunately, there was a continuous recovery HOT, which was better than nothing.

[Pharmacist] is a class that requires cooperation with other nurses to exert its true strength. If Medien is alone, her milk supply is really pitiful, even less than that of her brother Lingge.

"Huh?" The pink-haired little girl glanced at Alice sensitively, feeling that she was thinking about something very rude.

When it was Shaymi's turn, she was at a loss as to what to do. It was not until Alice reminded her that she hurriedly opened her skill bar, but there was only one skill in it.

[Strange Changes as You Like (Fairy Magic): Randomly give a status to the enemy character, and randomly give a status to our character. ]

It's Alice's favorite randomness.

She immediately asked Xiemi to use this skill, and the latter acted according to the plan. Soon, accompanied by the wind of light fluttering from the butterfly wings, the rats received a BUFF: [Fairy Shelter: Reduces the damage you receive by 20%].

Alice and others also received a BUFF: [Fairy's Fury: Reduces the damage you cause by 10%].

"..." The golden-haired hero glared at the fairy maid: "Which side are you on!?"

"Wow, I'm sorry!"

　Give me some meow
