Xing Ye believed the key to reaching 80 intimacy points was trust. The following fate player and opposing fate player needed absolute trust in each other. The following fate player must willingly face the risk of having their consciousness erased and the opposing fate player must willingly share everything with them.

If they didn't know about the following fate prop's consciousness could be erased, it'd be very easy for trust to form between them. The opposing fate player's the only person the following fate prop can rely on, making it hard not to think well of the other. The opposing fate player would think the prop was very obedient and thoughtful, so their intimacy would also rise. When both parties felt the other was special, it wouldn't be hard for their intimacy points to rise to 80.

But he and the mirror were different. The mirror knew Xing Ye could kill him.

Xing Ye was a little nervous. He wanted to win, yes, but he also hoped the mirror could trust him without any reservations.

A ding! sounded as a system prompt appeared in his head: Congratulations to the player and his prop for reaching 80 intimacy points. You are now best friends who are willing to share everything with each other. The prop's initial abilities are now unlocked and may be used with the player's points. Other features are waiting to be discovered. Such close friendship is rare, it must be cherished!"

Cherished? Earlier, it said "the game sometimes needs a little compassion" and now, that the friendship with following fate props "must be cherished".

The little mirror's intimacy points grew very quickly. Even though he knew it was tantamount to giving Xing Ye control over his life and death, the little mirror still chose to do so.

"We'll have to rely on you for this world." Xing Ye told the mirror.

The two held hands and charged into the mines together.

This was their first time going deep into the mines, but through Wrongly Used Projector, they were already familiar with the mine's layout.

Xing Ye and the mirror went straight to Benedict's laboratory. Half way through, mechanical puppets appeared, blocking their way.

Xing Ye had long been prepared. The instant he saw the mechanical puppets, he used Redrawing Pen to draw You've Already Matured. This time, his target was the cave wall!

The QR code floating in the air stuck to the cave wall and the cave immediately began to change. Just when the mechanical puppets began shooting at Xing Ye and the mirror, a stone wall suddenly appeared between them, blocking their attacks.

"How did you think of using that QR code on the cave wall? Wouldn't people usually choose to use it on the mechanical puppets?" The mirror asked in disbelief as they ran.

This was the difference between geniuses and ordinary people. Xing Ye's brain circuits were completely different from the norm- whether it was his inferences about the plot, conjectures about the system, or how he used QR codes, his line of thought was as wide as the cosmos. He could think of ideas others would never begin to consider.

Xing Ye laughed, "You're already a mature cave wall, so you should learn how to control your own cave structure. Nothing's wrong with that, right? Since this QR code gives the target life, why should they continue acting as furniture like chairs and sofas? Why can't that apply to mountains and rivers too?"

The mirror answered reluctantly, "I guess..."

With the cave's help, the two didn't need to run for 40-50 minutes to get to the cave's core like Randy. It only took them 5 minutes to approach the core of the cave.
