In the communication channel—
[Jean: Klee… is this strong?!]
[Jing Yuan: If it's little Klee, I'm not surprised.]
[Herta: It's over… I can already see how this game ends.]
[Ruan Mei: Let's aim for second place. Just hope we don't run into Klee.]
[Keqing: This… feels predetermined. How are we supposed to play?]
[Mona: Sigh… I'm jealous.]
[Jaina: Is Klee really that strong? Why is everyone reacting like this?]
[Anby: Yeah, isn't Klee just a kid? You're all scared of a child?]
[Grace: Does she have some special ability? Why is everyone panicking?]
The players from New Eridu didn't understand. It was just Klee—why did everyone act like they were facing a final boss?
[Hu Tao: You'll understand soon enough.]
Hu Tao remembered clearly. In the last game, Klee's luck had been absurd. She could practically pick up top-tier rewards just by walking around.
[Furina: Sigh… might as well fight for second place. It's not that I'm weak—I just can't compete.]
[Tartaglia: How about we team up and eliminate Klee first?]
[Zhu Yuan: That… doesn't feel right. She's just a child.]
[Lisa: Do you even hear yourself?!]
[Barbara: The Fatui are evil.]
[Arlecchino: Tartaglia has been officially expelled from the Fatui as of today. Please take note.]
[Tartaglia: Fine, I won't say anything.]
He was speechless. All he did was make a suggestion—why was everyone attacking him?
And expelled from the Fatui? Since when did she have that authority?
[Klee: Klee isn't scared! Not even if you all team up!]
[Herta: Klee… how far have you developed? Do you have weapons? Infrastructure?]
They wouldn't bully a child—but asking for intel was fair.
[Klee: Yep! Klee has two catapults, and a castle, and lots more…]
[Jing Yuan: ...]
[Diluc: There's no justice in this world.]
Everyone fell silent.
Most players had only basic weapons and limited resources—yet Klee already had catapults?
[Kaeya: Klee… your big brother Kaeya has always been good to you, right?]
[Klee: Big Brother Kaeya is a good person!]
[Kaeya: Then… where are you? Share some of your stuff with me. You take first, I'll take second.]
[Miyabi: …That works?]
[Fu Xuan: Shameless.]
[Feixiao: That level of audacity is impressive.]
[Yanqing: Klee, don't forget—we fought side by side before! We're comrades!]
If Kaeya was going to be shameless, Yanqing wasn't holding back either. The message was clear—don't forget your old allies.
[Keqing: Klee, don't listen to them. They're just trying to trick you.]
Keqing stepped in immediately. She liked Klee—and seeing people trying to take advantage of her was unacceptable.
[Lisa: How is it tricking? Klee is still young—we should help take care of her things.]
[Valerius: You all have no shame at all.]
Even Valerius couldn't watch anymore. This was beyond ridiculous.
[Albedo: …Ahem. As Klee's guardian, I think it would be best if I kept her items.]
[Jean: What are you even saying?]
Jean rolled her eyes. Since when did Albedo get to claim that role?
[Kaeya: Klee, don't listen to them. They're all bad people trying to trick you. Where are you? I'll protect you.]
[Valerius: Have some dignity.]
Valerius seriously wondered if these players were losing their minds.
Then—
[Attention: Player Klee has eliminated Player Kaeya.]
[Stelle: Pfft—!]
[March 7th: I can't, this is too funny!]
[Silver Wolf: Did they really think she was that gullible?]
[Yunli: Alright, that's enough. Disperse.]
With Kaeya eliminated, everyone finally realized—
Klee was not an ordinary child.
Better to avoid her altogether. Otherwise, they'd just become points.
Even Valerius found it amusing. Calling Kaeya a good person one moment, then blasting him the next—Klee had gotten a lot sharper.
Closing the channel, Valerius stood up and looked into the distance.
"Business is coming."
Walking to the edge of his island, he saw a pitiful sight approaching.
A tiny island. Barely anything on it.
"Who's that? That's just sad."
As it got closer, Valerius froze.
"…My wife? Why are you this miserable?!"
Bronya stepped forward, her face dark.
"I'm buying something."
"…What happened to you?"
Something was clearly off. She was practically radiating black energy.
"Don't ask. I need to buy something—I'm going to get revenge on Seele."
"…On who?!"
Valerius was shocked.
She and Seele were fighting?!
Bronya's expression darkened further.
She never imagined that one day, Seele would attack her.
Was their bond really worth less than one point?
She refused to accept it.
Today, she had to get revenge.
Seeing the killing intent in her eyes, Valerius opened the menu.
"Pick what you want."
Bronya scanned the options, conflicted.
She had no weapons. No mobility.
If she chose propulsion, she could only run—not fight.
If she chose a weapon, she wasn't sure which to pick.
Catapults were strong—but even Klee could fish those up. It felt like a waste.
Firearms? If the enemy fled, she wouldn't be able to chase them.
Finally, her gaze stopped on one item.
The high-precision ballistic missile.
Expensive—five points—and only one use.
But that price meant power.
Otherwise, why would a single-use item cost so much?
"I'll take this."
No more hesitation.
"Alright."
With a wave of his hand, a massive missile—over ten meters long—appeared on her island.
"…It's that big?!"
Bronya was stunned.
This had to be powerful.
"You can lock onto a target. Once launched, it will guide itself and hit with perfect accuracy."
"So… using this guarantees me one point?"
"You could think of it that way."
Valerius nodded—while screaming internally.
Are you underestimating this thing?!
This isn't for picking off one person—it's meant for wiping out groups!
…Wait.
She's not seriously planning to use this on Seele, is she?
