Transformed into a pink fairy, I will make all the players cry with my sword

Tao Yao couldn't help but frown as she listened to what Zhongmo said.

She never thought that the connection between herself and Xiaoxiao would be noticed by others, and she never expected that Zhongmo not only noticed it, but also seemed to know Xiaoxiao's identity very well.

The black-haired girl in front of him was always quiet and rarely showed interest in anything.

Tao Yao originally thought that no matter how powerful she was, she would eventually die.

It is also impossible to know the existence of one's own system.

After all, owning Xiaoxiao is your own secret.

But now it seems that things are a little different from what she thought.

"Xiaomo, do you know Xiaoxiao?"

Tao Yao asked directly, with obvious confusion and vigilance in her tone:

"How do you know she exists?"

Taoyao's voice echoed in the empty tower.

Under the starlight, her beautiful eyes stared at the End, trying to read some information from the fairy's expression.

The End doesn't seem like the kind of goblin that would talk nonsense.

After spending some time together, Taoyao has fully understood Zhongmo's character.

Silent, cautious, and thoughtful.

She never spoke easily, and every word she said was carefully considered. She rarely mentioned things without basis, and she would never test or humiliate herself.

Because of this, the "creation elf" mentioned at the end may indeed have its basis, and it is very likely referring to a system elf of the type Xiaoxiao.

She stood quietly in the moonlight, her black hair fluttering gently in the breeze. In the bright moonlight, her pale face looked unusually beautiful, yet with a kind of otherworldly indifference.

"The goddess once had many creations."

The final voice was calm and distant, as if recalling the past:

"In addition to the fairies who maintain this world on behalf of the goddess, there are also the fairies' assistants, the elves."

She looked up at the starry sky, which was dotted with stars, like twinkling data nodes.

"It's just that the elves have a lot of failed and defective products."

The final sentence continued, with a barely perceptible trace of pity in his tone:

"Those defective products had to be discarded for various reasons."

“Some lack the ability to think independently, some cannot accurately understand instructions, and some are too emotional to maintain logical consistency.”

Her gaze turned from the starry sky to Tao Yao, her black eyes were as deep as the night sky, as if she could see through the essence of all things.

"After countless attempts, the goddess finally left only the most perfect elf."

"This elf has enough autonomy and is loyal to its mission. It will be the best assistant and mascot for the goblins."

He tilted his head slightly, a thoughtful expression on his face.

"It's just that I didn't expect that the elf would be by your side."

As Taoyao listened to Zhongmo's words, her doubts grew deeper and deeper.

Defective products?

The most perfect elf?

These descriptions were completely beyond her understanding of Xiaoxiao.

In her opinion, Xiao Xiao is just a system elf, responsible for assisting her in creating and managing game content. Besides being cute, Xiao Xiao is basically just a mascot. To put it bluntly, Xiao Xiao is just a tool, and there doesn't seem to be anything special about him.

"Defective products?"

There was obvious confusion in Taoyao's voice.

It seems that Xiaoxiao still has a lot to tell her.

This elf that has always been following her may be much more complicated than she imagined.

I must catch that elf and ask her about her true identity and origins.

"Well...it is indeed a defective product."

In the end, he said calmly, as if stating an obvious fact,

"It's not just the elf next to you, all elves are defective to some extent."

"They are the product of countless experiments the goddess conducted to create the perfect assistant, and each one has its imperfections."

The look in his eyes became deep, as if he was recalling a long history.

"This means that now perhaps only you have the elves, while other fairies do not."

"The goddess gave you the spirit that is closest to perfection because she thought you needed guidance and supervision the most."

There was a hint of sarcasm in the final voice, but his eyes were unusually calm.

“But for me, it’s nothing.”

"The role of the elves is to serve as assistants. They are dispensable."

"They can't change anything fundamentally. They are just following the established rules and procedures. The ones who can truly change the world are always fairies like us who hold the real power, not those elves who sound useful but are actually useless."

When he said this in the end, there was a deep light in his eyes, as if hinting at some deeper meaning.

Tao Yao was about to ask for more details.

Suddenly, the sound of brisk footsteps interrupted their conversation.

She turned her head and saw a petite figure walking quickly from the direction of the mechanical ruins and returning to the tower.

It's a flower bud.

"Sister Qing! Sister Yi!"

Hualei's excited voice came from afar, breaking the quiet atmosphere on the tower, "Guess what I found!"

Her face was filled with an excited smile, and she was jogging over with something carefully held in her hands.

When seeing Taoyao and Zhongmo, Hualei's pace slowed down significantly, as if she had noticed the tense atmosphere between the two.

But she quickly regained her excitement and ran to Taoyao in two steps.

"Sister, look!"

Hualei carefully opened her hands, revealing a small object:

"I found this on an island east of the ruins! It looks like some kind of mechanism, but I couldn't get it to work no matter how hard I tried."

It was a small and exquisite spherical object, about the size of a fist, and the whole thing was a soft light blue. Rather than being a cold machine, it was more like a furry ball, with a surface covered with fine and soft fibers, glowing slightly silver in the moonlight.

The sphere is surrounded by several metal rings, as if protecting its fragile body.

The most eye-catching thing is the two big eyes at the front.

They were two crystal clear blue crystals, which seemed to contain some kind of spirituality even in their lifeless state at this moment.

It has a long and thin tail, the end of which is forked into four small hooks, which looks cute and delicate.

The surface of the sphere is inlaid with several delicate gears and buttons, which blend perfectly with the soft fur, forming a peculiar beauty that combines softness and mechanical sense.

At the bottom of the pompom, a small clockwork device can be vaguely seen, which seems to be its power source.

Huabud held the mysterious little sphere in the palm of his hand, gently stroking its soft surface, curiosity and anticipation flashing in his eyes.

"I tried turning the clockwork, pressing the buttons, even talking to it, but it just didn't respond."

Hualei said a little frustratedly, poking the side of the sphere with her finger.

"Sister, do you know what this is? How can I bring it back to life?"

Taoyao took the mechanical sphere from Hualei's hand and looked at it carefully.

When my fingers gently touched the soft surface, a wonderful feeling came, which was both the softness of velvet and the coolness of metal.

Taoyao recognized this thing.

Long before planning to come to the ruins, she had already spent a considerable amount of popularity points to obtain detailed information about the Mechanical City through the system elf Xiaoxiao.

This once glorious center of mechanical civilization has many amazing inventions and creations, and this little ball of fluff is one of them.

During the heyday of the Mechanical City, this small mechanical life form was an extremely common household companion, and almost every resident of the Mechanical City owned one.

They are both pets and assistants, capable of completing simple chores, delivering messages, and even acting as an alarm system when necessary.

But with the decline of the Mechanical City, these little lives gradually lost their power and fell asleep in every corner of the ruins.

Tao Yao gently rotated the mechanical pompom in her hand, observing every detail of it.

This little guy is surprisingly well preserved and shows almost no signs of age, which means that it was most likely hastily abandoned in the final moments of the collapse of the Mechanical City.

"This is a mechanical pet from the heyday of the Mechanical City."

Taoyao explained gently, handing the pompom back to Hualei, who was looking expectant:

"They are called 'reunion dolls'. They are cute furry balls that can bring comfort and companionship to their owners."

Tao Yao's fingers gently fiddled with a small button on the sphere and continued to explain:

"But don't be fooled by its cute appearance, its internal structure is very sophisticated and complex."

"There are hundreds of tiny gears and circuits hidden under these soft furs, which work perfectly together to enable the reunion doll to execute various commands and even have simple emotional expressions."

Hualei's eyes lit up and she carefully took the Tuanyuan doll as if she was holding a treasure.

"So how do we get it to restart?"

She asked impatiently, her fingers gently stroking the soft fur of the reunion doll:

“I want to see what it looks like in motion!”

Tao Yao smiled slightly and pointed to the exquisite clockwork device at the bottom of the Tuanyuan doll.

"Normally, you just need to wind it up to activate it."

"But after lying dormant for so long, its internal mechanisms may have rusted or been damaged."

Listen to what Taoyao said.

A hint of nervousness flashed in Hualei's eyes.

She carefully traced the patterns on the surface of the reunion doll with her fingertips, as if she was caressing a sleeping life.

"If that's the case, then it's useless, isn't it?"

The bud raised its head with a pleading look in its eyes.

"Can it be fixed? I really want to see it in action. It must be really cute!"

There was a pure anticipation and desire in her voice, the innocent enthusiasm that only a child could have.

Hualei gently shook the reunion doll in her hand, as if trying to awaken its long-sleeping soul.

"It looks so delicate and cute. It would be a shame to let it sleep like this forever."

"Sister, do you know how to fix it? Do you need any special tools or methods?"

Taoyao looked at Hualei's expectant eyes and a gentle smile appeared on her face.

This curiosity and enthusiasm for new things is exactly what she likes about buds.

"Don't worry, of course it can be fixed."

Tao Yao spoke slowly, with gentle confidence in her voice:

"It just takes some effort. If we can find the corresponding parts in the ruins and replace them, it will be able to move."

She reached out and gently stroked the head of the reunion doll, feeling the sophisticated machinery hidden beneath the soft fur with her fingertips.
