Trapped Inside the Beta Test World for 1000 Years-Chapter 48 – No problem, you're amazing 10/10

Now there's only one question left.
How many more like Mia are there?
Xia Ya was quite certain that everyone had changed.
But not everyone was as pure as Mia.
After all, Mia was the most special. Her thoughts were simple, her experiences were simple, and Xia Ya's presence in her life outweighed everything else.
Yet even with such intensity, it only left a faint memory, and as for others, they might just find him familiar at best.
Even Yveline, whom he pursued without fail every cycle, only had a special storyline, far less direct than Mia.
It's likely that the priestess's affection level had already surpassed that of a close friend, and it was the kind that the system didn't show.
Thinking it over, Xia Ya couldn't think of anyone more likely than Mia to have memory fragments.
That's good...
He let out a sigh of relief.
This way, the plan wouldn't need to change much.
After a moment of contemplation, Xia Ya made a decision.
"You heard what I said to Maka, right?"
"Yeah, yeah! I won't tell anyone!"
"Yeah, right."

Xia Ya pinched her soft cheeks with both hands.
"Don't think I don't know what you're thinking. Of the three pieces of information, you only understood Luke in the first two, nothing else. As for the third, you'll apply to go to Elvenheim as soon as you get back, planning to stake out and save people, right?"
"Huhuhu..."
Xia Ya let go, allowing her to speak clearly.
"Hehe, Xia Ya, you're so smart!"
The half-goose girl was really easy to read.
"Smart my foot! I'm warning you, don't do that."
"Ah, ah, ah? Why..." Mia looked at him pitifully.
"The reason is hard to explain... Even if I explained it, you wouldn't understand, but you have to trust me."
"I-I-I trust Xia Ya!" Mia said, puffing out her chest, but then pitifully added, "Then, can Xia Ya make the monsters harm fewer people?"
Xia Ya fell silent.
Honestly, it's a paradox.
Because the sudden outbreak of monsters was caused by Synlos, and right now, the Destroyer of Worlds was hiding in his lair playing RTS, with the entire territory of the United Holy Nation as his game map. Once a detonation point was found, he would control the corrupted host to self-destruct in the city...
But the problem is, who would throw an AOE where there are fewer monsters?
So logically, it's impossible.
But trying a bit might be worthwhile, like using deception to create an illusion. After all, Xia Ya knew the whole story.
Remember Johnny Olsen, the victim of that family ethics tragedy, the poor mage whose mother was poisoned by his sister? The source of this monster turmoil was his sister.
If Ipland's grievances weren't cleared, Synlos would choose him as the host. Lost in his fugitive life, Ipland would be completely corrupted, turning into a level 55 boss.
If Ipland's grievances were cleared, Johnny's sister would despair and go mad, crying "None of you love me" as she threw herself into Synlos's arms, becoming a creature of the same level.
Either way, one of them would turn dark, and then boom, shakalaka.
Eventually, Elvenheim would be blasted into a pit, with countless monsters emerging from below, becoming a grinding spot for levels 20-55—the Corrupted Demon Nest. At the bottom, there's a three-part dungeon group, Monster Settlement → Pay-to-Win Ruins → Siege of the Tin Soldiers entrance, the latter inexplicably named Stannum Ancient City by the Sun Elves, with the true entrance not discovered until years later.
The blueprint for Midas Hand is hidden in the Pay-to-Win Ruins.
If Elvenheim were a beauty, then the Corrupted Demon Nest would be a fingernail-sized mole on her face, with a hair growing out of it.
Xia Ya couldn't stop this from happening, neither could he, nor should he.
But he knew the time and exact location of the arcane energy outbreak, and he could save those at the very core, the most severely injured!
Even though he had nothing to do with those elves and half-elves, as long as it was Mia's wish, he would do it.
Doesn't matter, as long as my wife is happy!
"Alright."
Xia Ya nodded seriously.
"Hehe, I knew Xia Ya was the best!"
The girl happily hugged Xia Ya's arm, her face full of satisfied tranquility.
"Hey, hey, we should get down to business."
Xia Ya patted Mia's head. He hadn't forgotten there were still a few people soaking in the water. If nothing unexpected happened, they would be attacked by mermen, then saved by Luke, though Luke's way of saving people was a bit shocking. Compared to being tangled up by a sea monster's tentacles, Simon and the others might prefer being tied to a pillar by fish bubble eyes.
"Don't intervene in the upcoming battle."
Xia Ya seriously instructed.
He was afraid that if Mia used a high-level skill, they wouldn't encounter a single monster afterward, making this trip underground pointless.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah! I won't make a move... But, can I give Xia Ya a blessing?"
"Huh?"
Xia Ya was stunned. The priestess's various heaven-defying blessings were only available after level 55, could this be a bug too?
While he hesitated, the girl closed her eyes, leaned over, and gently kissed his cheek, then smiled with her eyes curved.
"Here, this is Mia's blessing, do you like it?"
For heaven's sake, stop seducing me!!
...
Even though he hadn't revisited the "grinding line" for a long time, Xia Ya's grasp of it was still masterful.
Just as the two of them stepped less than ten meters ahead, a fish head with bubbles came charging out with a "Muglrrrrrrr."
Level 25 Blue Scale Gillman.
Still a mini-elite.
During the time Xia Ya was obsessed with grinding, he had farmed this thing to the point of nausea, and now just the sight of it made him retch.
With a slight gag, he grabbed the Frost Longsword and dashed forward.
The Blue Scale Gillman probably didn't expect the weak human in front of it to be so proactive, and it was too late to dodge. It could only let out a screech, its body exploding into a splash of water, narrowly avoiding the oncoming sword.
As a mini-elite, the Gillman's combat style was varied, with "magic enhancement" equating to level 4 "military swordsmanship" in data, making it harder to deal with than a typical level 25 wild monster, and it also had elusive evasion techniques.
The water splashed and then quickly gathered into a lump, silently slipping through the darkness, wriggling behind Xia Ya.
Next, it would reform its body, then raise its trident to pierce the human in front of it!
But just as it was about to reform, the Frost Longsword stabbed awkwardly from under Xia Ya's armpit, clearly hitting a mass of air, yet remaining motionless.
The Blue Scale Gillman could only watch helplessly as this happened, and when its body reformed, a sword was embedded in it, the tip piercing its heart, yet bizarrely not a drop of blood flowed, as if it had grown from its body...
The seafood creature dared not move a muscle, its bubble eyes filled with terror and disbelief.
Swish.
Xia Ya withdrew the sword, slightly sidestepping, as a stream of dark green foul-smelling liquid sprayed from the Gillman's chest, almost grazing him, landing on the ground with a sizzling sound of strong acid corroding rock.
"Gaglrma..."
With a miserable cry, the fishman's eyes rolled back, dead.
"Xia Ya, you're amazing!"
Mia immediately dispelled the "Fade Technique," running over to wipe his sweat, even though Xia Ya hadn't broken a sweat at all.
Then she purified the corpse.
"I—"
"What is it, what is it?"
Seeing the girl's concerned gaze, Xia Ya swallowed the words "I haven't looted the body" back down.
"Nothing, you're amazing!"
"Hehehe!"
