Xing Ye was only thinking and never had any intentions to attack. However, Linda took the initiative to say her ability could block attacks to prevent any sudden sneak attacks.

She seemed to be a very passive player.

"What's your goal?" Xing Ye asked.

To understand someone, the most important element to analyze is their motives and what they want to do. It's very hard to establish trust without understanding the motives behind the other person's actions.

There's always a reason behind everything. For example, if Mr. Ding's friendliness was to set up a foundation for his betrayal, what was the reason behind Linda's isolationist policy?

The little mirror walked up with heavy steps, using his two meter body to stand behind Xing Ye, showing his support.

Linda saw her reflection in the mirror's body and awkwardly turned her head to avoid seeing it again. As a woman who cared greatly about her own appearance, the way she looked as a puppet really didn't align with her own aesthetics.

"Your problems are also my problems." Linda explained, "We're all just trying to do the mission, so why fight with other players?"

Why? Xing Ye joined the game in order to investigate the truth behind his brother's death. After meeting the mirror in the first world, he thought that Xing Shuo might've not died and turned into a prop, waiting in the game world for Xing Ye to save him. Later, after finding out the chance his brother was still alive were very low, Xing Ye had lost his will to fight.

However, after seeing the mirror in the game world again, his fighting spirit was reignited.

Even if Xing Shuo had truly passed away, he still wanted to know what Xing Shuo experienced in the game worlds and exact justice on the one who had invited his little brother. Was it the system, or some player who fooled his little brother into entering the game?

At the same time, Xing Ye also wanted to save the mirror. He didn't want the family, who had helped him when he needed it most, to experience the same pain of losing a family member as he did. It was too painful, a hundred times more painful than welding the nucleus threads together.

"I have a reason to become a high-level player and investigate the secrets behind the system." Xing Ye replied simply.

Linda replied with an incredibly bored tone. "Wow, good luck, your aspirations sure are big. However, I'm happy with just being a potato. No big fighting spirit like you guys here."

Xing Ye didn't understand. "You don't want to leave the game?"

Linda's face was also puzzled, "Why would I want to leave? I don't know what your life is in the real world, but there's not one good thing in my real life. I'm short, fat, have short hair, and no money. I'm just a very mediocre girl.

"And in the game world? The system will always give following fate players a great experience.

I can be the princess of some nation, a femme fatale that triggers a war, a wealthy woman with the money to raise 4-5 pretty boys- even in this puppet world, I'm still the prettiest puppet.

In the real world, nobody would love me that much and treat me unconditionally well. Every day, I get so much stress from work and then even when I buy fruits, they end up being all mushy. For somebody as unlucky as me to suddenly get a 'Game of Challenging Fate' pop up on my phone, letting me become a person blessed by fate, wouldn't you say it's something to celebrate about?"
