Knock knock knock——

Volgan knocked on the door and said:

"Miss Glina, I'm back."

"Oh, Volgan, just a moment."

Glina's voice was leisurely and lazy, combined with the faint fragrance of foam lingering in the air, suggesting she had just finished bathing. Volgan's keen hearing caught the rustling sounds of clothes being put on, then he heard Glina say:

"Thank you for your hard work, come in."

"Yes."

The door unlocked, and Volgan pushed the door open, taking in the room's layout at a glance.

'The position of the vase is normal, no extra objects, and no other scents apart from the Dragon Race in the air.'

'There are traces of water on the floor, and obvious steam on the ceiling, consistent with a hot spring bath.'

'Miss Glina doesn't like wearing slippers, the footprints on the floor are normal, with no irrelevant marks.'

Glina wore a thin gauze robe, holding a book in one hand and casually flipping through it, as if to pass the time. Her fair skin still retained warmth, crudely speaking, like a boiled egg, as if a gentle press would bring about a wonderful rebound.

'Consistent with just getting out of the bath.'

Volgan nodded slightly, seeing the garden door open, he was about to go up and close it.

"Leave it open, I want to get some air."

Glina said casually.

Volgan withdrew his hand, still glancing out the window.

Pale purple flowers swayed in the wind, dew reflecting the starlight.

'Perhaps I'm being too sensitive.'

Volgan thought:

'Beyond this garden is outer space, no one would come through here.'

So, he turned around and pulled the curtain closed.

Rustle——

The interior scene was obscured, a small head slowly emerged amidst the flower field.

"Phew, that was close!"

Xia Yubing wiped the sweat off her brow, muttering:

"That man's vigilance is too strong! If he looked a few more times, I'd have been exposed."

"Actually, you didn't need to come in person, Teacher Xia."

Yutianxiao in the group chat said helplessly:

"We have already entered Glina Swirl's space, reaching the Border Abyss is only a matter of time."

"That's not okay, anything could happen before you guys dive to the port. I have to see you off personally to be assured."

Xia Yubing said, applying another breath-concealing scroll to herself, and continued hiding in the flowers.

In Glina's space, it was pitch black, but fortunately, Severston had made a small lamp, and the heroes who almost slayed a dragon now each had a small stool, sitting around the circle of light.

Xia Yubing continued lurking, while Glina dealt with that Half-Dragon butler. Thus, the members of the Underwater Abyss team had nothing to do for the moment.

They looked at each other, and the atmosphere gradually became awkward.

Long Yuqiong saw this and simply asked:

"Isn't Teacher Xia being a bit too cautious?"

"Indeed, a bit." Yutianxiao felt rather helpless: "We've cleared all obstacles, the Underwater Abyss Bureau is busy investigating the Society issue. They should be eager to send Glina away. What problem could there be?"

"By the way, why do you guys call her Teacher Xia?"

Night Fighting Sword was puzzled:

"Is she a teacher at a school?"

Yutianxiao: "Drafted labor."

Long Yuqiong: "No, I found a graduate student who studies well."

Night Fighting Sword: "Aren't these two the same thing?"

"Xia Yubing's judgment is quite remarkable." Caramel Snail said: "She's like... how should I put it? Some kind of special ability? It's called Hyperthymesia or something. Specifically, she can recall events like playing a movie, pausing on every frame, zooming in and out, and observing carefully."

"Huh? With such an ability, and she's only playing games?"

Night Fighting Sword scoffed:

"That's like having the power to stop time and just using it to finish winter break homework. Can't there be some ambition?"

"Not really, it's mainly because Teacher Xia is also a research scholar and doesn't play games. Nine months in the game, eight months spent in the library researching game backgrounds."

Long Yuqiong explained:

"But her article analyses are so detailed, so excellent, they even predict the Red Arrow's war on the Sky Ring accurately. Even the events surrounding the Galaxy Eye Meat Grinder are well-written—plus, during the league, our club's scout saw her acting with Caramel Snail and thought she was advising you, so they recruited her."

"I see." Caramel Snail realized: "I was wondering how you guys managed to recruit her."

"Teacher Xia is very useful." Long Yuqiong said: "At first, we thought she was just a translator scholar, meant to help with plot progression in the team, but unexpectedly discovered she also has tactical command abilities. Just making her support is really underutilizing her talents."

"That's really something..."

Caramel Snail sighed.

A friend who usually seems absentminded, unexpectedly gaining recognition from a more skilled professional player—what kind of feel-good storyline is this?

"Oh, by the way, you might not know this." Yutianxiao said: "Last time, when the player Expeditionary Army reached Zhengxu, we encountered an unprecedented Society senator."

"Could it be, the Secret Society?" Lanan asked curiously.

"You know?"

Yutianxiao was surprised:
