Volume 1, Chapter 16 – The Attribute Known as 【Sister Complex】

After Xingyu Muxi’s careful analysis, Tianyin ultimately decided to distribute her attribute points evenly.

From leveling up from LV1 to LV10, she had earned a total of 9 attribute points. In other words, she could raise her stats by 9 minor grades.

Following the concept of balanced distribution, Tianyin added 2 points to each of her four attributes.

Thus, all of her stats, which had previously been at the lowest rank of G-, were now enhanced to G+.

Even though this world was a virtual game, the benefits of improving her stats could still be felt.

Most noticeably, Tianyin’s HP maximum had risen from 10 to 30!

“…What the heck! 30 HP means I can fall over several times without dying now, right!?”

Staring at her increased HP bar, Tianyin couldn’t help but fall into deep thought.

As for the other attributes, she couldn’t quite sense any clear changes yet. Maybe if she had to say something, did the distance she walked in a minute increase by one or two steps?

“How’s it going, Xiaoyin? Did you finish assigning your attribute points?”

“Mm… y-yeah… I did…”

Tianyin answered shyly, her voice timid. But hearing Xingyu Muxi’s question made her recall that scene from moments ago, when the girl had suddenly pulled her into her arms…

“Uuh…”

Without realizing it, Tianyin let out an adorable whimper. No, more accurately, it was a tiny, catlike sound that escaped her because of sheer embarrassment.

At the same time, she could feel her cheeks burning.

“What’s wrong, Xiaoyin? Your face is all red.”

“U-uh… n-nothing…”

Tianyin mumbled vaguely. Even as embarrassment filled her chest, she also had the faint, unsettling feeling that she had just lost something important… Her resolve as a man.

“Well anyway, Xiaoyin, if nothing unexpected happens, our next plan is to head to the beginner dungeons around the Novice Village~”

“Beginner dungeon? What’s that?”

“How should I put it… a dungeon is basically an independent mini-world. Inside, there are monsters and bosses. If you defeat the dungeon boss, you can earn special rewards~”

“Hmm… so that’s what a beginner dungeon is…”

Tianyin tilted her head thoughtfully. Her serious, slightly frowning expression gave off an unexpectedly cute vibe.

“Right, so we’ll stop farming wild monsters for now. Next, I’ll take you to clear a dungeon. How about it?”

Although she had already decided, Xingyu Muxi still asked for Tianyin’s opinion.

“Um… I don’t mind going to a dungeon, as long as Sister Xiaomu doesn’t mind me slowing her down…”

“Mind? How could I ever think that, Xiaoyin! I already told you, I won’t let anything hurt you! You’re my little sister now. What kind of big sister would complain about her little sister being a burden?”

“S-sister… little sister… That’s too embarrassing…”

No, rather than just embarrassment, this was Tianyin’s last bit of resistance as a former boy…

She couldn’t help but curse the System for installing that “Loli personality module” into her character template. She’d only been in this game for a few hours, and her thought patterns, speech, and behavior had already completely changed from her old self…

At this point, Tianyin almost felt like she wasn’t a boy pretending to be a girl anymore, but she really was a loli…

“Though, that being said… Sister Xiaomu, I’m an NPC now. NPCs probably can’t enter dungeons the same way players can, right?”

That was a question Tianyin had just suddenly thought of.

After all, dungeons were designed for players. Even someone as inexperienced as Tianyin instinctively understood that.

And she wasn’t wrong.

Dungeons existed to help players level up and earn equipment more conveniently. There were no examples of players teaming up with NPCs to grind through dungeons together.

“Hey, Xiaoyin…”

After Tianyin asked that, Xingyu Muxi hesitated for a moment, but only for about a second. Then she smiled softly.

“If that’s really the case, then I just won’t do dungeons anymore~”

Her tone was firm and resolute.

“Because you’re my little sister now. If my sister can’t go into dungeons, then no matter how great the rewards are, I don’t want them either~”

As she said those words, Xingyu Muxi finally realized something.

She had unknowingly awakened an attribute of her own…

A “Sister Complex.”

But so what if she was a siscon?

Looking at Tianyin’s dazed, clueless, adorably dumbfounded face, Xingyu Muxi’s beautiful expression softened into a gentle smile.

“My little sister… from now on, I’ll be the one to protect you.”
