Volume 7, Chapter 4 – All of You, Be Prepared!

“B… b-b-b-become an idol?”

Tianyin opened her eyes in a daze.

What?

Why did she have to become an idol?

She was honestly confused. After all, if it were in the neat and orderly real world, becoming an idol might still make some sense.

But becoming an idol in the VRMMORPG chaotic game world… that was just too ridiculous…

“Yeah, become an idol… what about it, Xiaoyin, is that not good?”

Sensing the shock in Tianyin’s tone while she was held in her arms, Xingyu Muxi chuckled softly.

“N-No, it’s not that it’s bad… it’s just that I don’t really get it. Idol stuff, in this chaotic world, is that even possible?”

“It is, you know~”

As she said that, Xingyu Muxi loosened her hold on Xiaoyin, then gently stroked Tianyin’s soft silver hair.

“Xiaoyin is so cute. As long as someone gets to know Xiaoyin, they’ll definitely end up liking Xiaoyin. After all, even I like such a cute Xiaoyin~”

“Wuu… I… C-Cute…”

It was way too embarrassing.

You can’t praise someone like this, hey!

Well, I am cute, but since that’s just the truth, don’t use cute as a trait to praise me…

Even though Tianyin was shy, because of that, she completely failed to notice that Xingyu Muxi hadn’t actually answered her question at all.

Because… using cute to answer her question…

Was basically the same as not answering.

Of course… At this point, only Xingyu Muxi could deliver an invisible intelligence-nerf strike on Tianyin like that.

“I understand… but Sister Xiaomu, since the method is doable, what should we do next?”

In her heart, she had accepted the method. But for some reason, Tianyin still instinctively felt something was off.

She had to know that the previous Seven Deadly Sins could be obtained only after going through battles. The process was not only exhausting, it was also extremely grueling.

But… when it came to the last sin, Lust, the whole vibe suddenly flipped.

Huh? Why did it feel like being an idol was actually kind of great?

Tianyin quietly complained to herself.

And as for Tianyin’s question about how to carry out this whole “idol” thing in practice, Xingyu Muxi seemed completely confident.

Those beautiful eyes of hers also flickered with the light of command.

“It’s easy. You just need to let people understand how cute Xiaoyin is~”

“Let them understand my cuteness? Wuu… I see…”

Xingyu Muxi only gave a vague concept as the method. Tianyin’s mind was actually a complete fog.

But she still forced herself to put on a look like she totally understood.

Because Tianyin felt she wasn’t that dumb anymore. And if she acted like she didn’t understand at all, maybe Sister Xiaomu would laugh at her.

“Oh, looks like Xiaoyin already understands my method~”

“Of course I do! I even personally commanded the war that just ended! Getting a bit smarter is only natural, right?”

Tianyin looked completely self-righteous.

“Pff, since Xiaoyin already understands, then the next part should be easy.”

Xingyu Muxi smiled, watching Tianyin with a gentle gaze.

“Actually, compared to the natives, people from our world are more inclined to chase after idols. And Xiaoyin only needs to reveal a little about yourself, then the rest becomes very easy.”

Just listening to Xingyu Muxi, Tianyin had the illusion that this method was really easy, really relaxed.

Of course, in reality, the method really was very easy, so easy that when Tianyin started doing it, she almost started doubting her life…

“Since the method is decided, then we’ll start carrying it out. After all, just talking here won’t do anything~”

In the end, Xingyu Muxi spoke to wrap up this conversation.

And next, with Xingyu Muxi’s help, Tianyin was about to set foot on the path to becoming an “idol.”

Mm… more accurately, she was setting foot on the path of acting cute.

So… what was the specific method?

Actually, it was very easy.

According to Xingyu Muxi, she would make use of Tianyin’s cuteness to get players to chase after Tianyin. Of course, it wasn’t as easy as it sounded.

Before that, Xingyu Muxi also needed to expose Tianyin’s strength in front of the players.

It was true that players already knew that Dawn’s leader was a cute silver-haired loli. And because of Tianyin’s cuteness, a fan club had even been formed.

But back then, Tianyin was still an NPC at the end of the day, so instead of saying they were Tianyin fans, it was more like they were just drooling over Tianyin’s body.

Mm, of course, chasing idols isn’t much different in motivation either. But Tianyin’s fan club from before had already gradually become a hollow name as time passed.

And now, in this game world where strength was respected, those existences who became throne-tier, epic-tier, and legendary-tier were not only famous in the game world.

Even in the real world, they were basically pursued and adored by nearly the entire population.

The world had already changed at the moment the game changed reality.

With the world government pushing things forward, chasing after shiny celebrities was already a thing of the past. Now, only those with powerful strength in both the game and reality were the ones people competed to worship.

So now, relying on Tianyin’s cuteness alone was completely unable to make players chase after Tianyin. Even though the passive effect of Lust, this Original Sin, was rather powerful, trying to make Tianyin adored as quickly as possible was still very difficult.

So, Xingyu Muxi considered a two-pronged approach.

First… make Tianyin’s cuteness fully visible.

Second… let people know that Tianyin’s strength was also extremely powerful.

Mm… and how powerful was also very easy. That was to “accidentally” publicize Tianyin’s past achievements.

If you thought about it carefully, Tianyin’s battle record was already terrifying.

During the Undead invasion, she beat the hell out of the throne-tier Frost Dragon Xiaobingxue, who was still an enemy at the time.

After the Undead invasion ended, she directly killed the only throne-tier among the Beastmen, the Prophet.

Then, she went alone deep into Inferno, and directly captured Inferno’s Lord of Pride, “Lucifa,” and brought her back.

After that, she fought a great battle against the Black Dragon King of the dragon race, and then chatted and laughed with the Fortress Emperor inside the Fortress.

Finally, within Dawn’s territory, Tianyin also dealt with the underground army that had been making such a huge uproar about invading the Main World earlier.

It could be said… once those achievements were spread out, with a bit of embellishment, even if Tianyin didn’t show off her cuteness, players would still lift her to the skies.

And what’s more, Tianyin herself was also an extremely cute silver-haired loli.

Author Note

At this point, there’s no need to hide it anymore.

I know you’re all drooling over Tianyin’s body, be honest!
