Firefly's message, along with the truth she had found out herself, made Silver Wolf feel like her brain was crashing.
At this moment, she felt as if she could see Welt standing in front of her, rubbing a black hole between his hands while asking her: "To be or not to be, survive or be destroyed?"
Silver Wolf: "LMAO, I have no choice. No wonder even if the script was torn up, Elio didn't suggest anyone other than her to come here. So that's why."
Silver Wolf didn't have masochistic tendencies, so in this moment, she made her choice immediately.
Silver Wolf: "I've already found out this person's identity and gave him a grand gift package of a ban."
"Oh! By the way, Elio needs me for something, so I'm leaving Penacony for now. Have fun, you two~"
Currently, she had only cleared the ninth level of the game Pei Guang made: she was just one step away from the tenth level.
But was life more important or money?
Did she even need to choose? If she didn't run now, and if Firefly discovered something, there was an eighty percent chance she and Elio would be set ablaze together.
On the other side, Firefly's expression became grave after receiving Silver Wolf's message.
"What does this mean... Could it be that Elio did it? That shouldn't be..."
She felt that something was off with Silver Wolf, but she couldn't put her finger on what exactly was wrong.
But since Silver Wolf said she was leaving, it proved she wanted to drop this topic, so she would let it go for now.
Raising her head to look at Pei Guang beside her, now that the atmosphere was gone, she lost the desire to 'battle'.
Moreover...
Firefly lowered her head, feeling the real yet fake Penacony.
This world composed of Memoria could indeed let people feel a beauty that couldn't be felt in reality, but if possible, she wanted to experience this world with her real body.
No matter how beautiful a fake beauty was, it was still fake: experiencing it once was enough.
Next time, she decided to feel that unique sensation in reality.
Thinking of this, Firefly looked up at Pei Guang.
"Let's go~ Let's go to Clock Studios Theme Park. There are too many people here. Once we get there, I have some secrets to tell you."
Since she had already decided to add scenes to her life, then regarding her former friend... she could only say sorry.
"Hoes before bros... that's talking about me, right?... But, Ah Guang doesn't like her, does he?"
Firefly cheered up in an instant. She didn't know if her next goal would succeed, but confirming more goals made her more motivated.
However...
After communicating on a deeper level, she actually didn't know how to face Pei Guang. She wanted to tell Pei Guang everything she knew, but she didn't know how to start.
It wasn't that she didn't dare to speak, but every time she wanted to tell Pei Guang something, various accidents would happen, or there would be other people...
"What are you thinking about?"
Pei Guang's sudden voice made Firefly silent for a long time, until she finally raised her head slowly.
"There is something. I'm a stowaway."
Pei Guang: "I know."
"I'm a Stellaron Hunter..."
Pei Guang: "Really? I'm so surprised~"
His tone was surprised, but his expression was flat. In fact, Pei Guang wasn't even a little surprised by Firefly's confession.
Firefly: "Aren't you... curious about why I approached you?"
"Who cares why? Anyway, I'm captivated by you now."
Firefly's appearance had somewhat shaken his unwavering determination to follow the pure love route with March 7th.
This was a beautiful girl who actively kissed him, and she had silver hair to boot!
However, this wavering only lasted for a short moment.
As a player, although he might be shaken by in-game characters regarding the route he wanted to take, Pei Guang was someone with willpower.
No matter how good-looking, how proactive, or how high the favorability was, the development direction he, the player, set for the first playthrough couldn't be interfered with.
Wife… there must be only one.
Pei Guang, who was almost charmed, reaffirmed his Daoist heart once again.
However, Pei Guang forgot one thing: as this's a real world, sometimes things wouldn't happen just because he wanted them to.
And as a game setting stitched together from everything, sometimes the route a player wants to take might not necessarily be within the player's control.
This answer made Firefly reach out and gently punch him on the chest: "I knew you were teasing me..."
Pei Guang: "But there's one thing I don't understand. Logically speaking, I've only been in this world for a little over a month, and we didn't know each other before. The way your favorability rose... I can't even believe it."
"Yeah, we've known each other for a very short time. But for me, every minute is precious. I can't be like ordinary people and take a week, a month, or even a year to make a choice."
"Time forces me to make choices quickly, regardless of whether the choice is correct. Besides, have we really only spent a day together?"
Firefly took out her phone and shook it: "Look~ According to system time, we indeed have only spent less than two days together. But this is a sweet dream.
In the dream, we can't intuitively feel the passage of time and can only use system time as a reference. In reality, we've known each other for a long, long time in the dream.
Penacony's time is frozen. To the outside world, only one system day or maybe two system days have passed, but in Penacony, we've spent a long, long time.
If nothing else, the speed and distance we crawled in the sewers would take several hours or even over ten hours in reality to cover. But in the Dreamscape, it felt like a day, yet also like an instant.
But a dream is ultimately a dream. I really wish I could be with you like this in reality too."
Firefly's words reminded Pei Guang, making him suddenly realize something was wrong.
Thinking back on the journey, whether it was drag racing to walk the Family dogs, fighting the great war against the Family, or all kinds of travel, under normal time, that would have started in hours.
In other words, his feeling that a month or two seemed to have passed wasn't wrong, but real?
Recalling his experiences in Penacony carefully, there were significantly more events than on the Luofu Xianzhou and Belobog.
The main events in Belobog took four or five days, and all the events on the Luofu added up to over half a month.
Many of those experiences saved travel time through teleportation, but in Penacony, most of the travel was done on two legs.
But now, Penacony, which had more experiences than those two places combined, had actually only passed one day? That was indeed strange.
Calculating it like this, had he spent more time with Firefly than with March 7th?
A question mark slowly appeared above Pei Guang's head.
