3: I am the protagonist, but not entirely.

Tang Ziheng watched his balance turn into 108 source points.

Currently, he only had Clarissa as a “worker,” and he hoped she could bring him more source points income.

With nothing to do at the moment, Tang Ziheng could only watch as if he were watching a show; in the void, he didn’t even have a physical form, just this consciousness. He thought if he turned into a glowing ball, he could totally make a cameo as the Main God Space.

Tang Ziheng currently had a feeling of “he is the protagonist, but not entirely.”

After all, he was the father of the old man (System) behind the current “protagonist,” Clarissa.

The next day.

Clarissa directly left the Refuge. After confirming with the staff at the Refuge, she officially departed from it.

She became a truly “free person.”

She could no longer enjoy the benefits of the Refuge for the remaining few days.

Clarissa directly spent 2 gold coins to book a room for 10 days at a hotel in Mans City. At the same time, she asked them to prepare bathwater, a change of clothes, and a grand meal for her.

She changed into exquisite and comfortable attire. As a knight, her clothing naturally had to be suitable for movement, and this type of attire was extremely popular in the Grosster Empire, given the prevailing martial spirit.

After bathing and changing her clothes, Clarissa, with her body enhanced by the System, tied her dazzling, waist-length golden hair into a ponytail, with strands on either side of her face falling to her collarbone. A knight’s sword, which she had exchanged for, hung at her waist.

Her facial features were exquisite and well-defined, and her appearance was exceptionally valiant and spirited.

Her height of 1.75 meters made her look very tall. Her originally thin frame now appeared a bit fuller, with a slender figure and long legs.

Anyone who saw her would exclaim: What a female knight!

Indeed, when Clarissa emerged from her room, everyone in the inn was stunned.

However, no one dared to stare; they all snuck glances. It wasn’t that they didn’t want to, but that they dared not.

After all, Clarissa had a knight’s sword at her waist, clearly indicating she was a knight “milady.”

If she were to cut you down for offending her, it was likely no one would care.

“This way, milady! Your meal is ready!” The waiter’s attitude was completely different from before.

From initial disdain, to fawning after Clarissa produced gold coins, to his current respectful flattery.

Clarissa couldn’t help but sigh in her heart.

But she didn’t say anything; this was simply human nature.

And all of this was brought about by God!

So, Clarissa nodded faintly and followed the waiter to a table laden with exquisite dishes, where she sat down.

“Please enjoy your meal, milady! Feel free to call me if you need anything!” the waiter said, bowing obsequiously.

“Mm.” Clarissa nodded, and the waiter discreetly withdrew.

Clarissa suppressed her hunger, her throat moving up and down as she continuously swallowed the saliva she was secreting.

She maintained her “noble” composure as she picked up her chopsticks and began to eat.

Mmm! So delicious!

Wuwu, it’s really, really delicious!

Clarissa was so moved by the delicious food that she almost cried, but to maintain her “grace,” she could only force herself to resist the urge to grab the meat and gnaw on it, eating slowly instead.

Although overeating when hungry was not good, Clarissa’s body had already been strengthened, and she was now a cultivator. The food she ate was continuously digested by her stomach, transforming into streams of energy transported throughout her body.

The Breathing Technique, a premium product from the System, was also in operation, continuously absorbing nutrients to replenish her depleted body.

“Another table!”

Clarissa calmly took a napkin to wipe her mouth, then raised a hand to summon the waiter and spoke.

“Milady, do you mean another table?” The waiter blinked, thinking he had misheard.

“Yes, another table. I’ll settle the bill when I’m done eating,” Clarissa said.

“Alright!” The waiter quickly agreed, sighing in his heart: As expected of a knight milady! Just her appetite alone is truly terrifying!

In reality, Clarissa didn’t have such an appetite; it was just that the System was continuously replenishing her previously depleted body.

Once it reached a certain limit, it would return to normal.

Clarissa also knew this, but the feeling of her body getting stronger just by eating, eating, eating, was indeed very satisfying!

“Another table!”

“…”

“Another table!”

“…”

After eating four tables in a row, Clarissa calmly wiped her mouth under the astonished gazes of everyone present.

Then she got up to pay the bill.

Seeing this, the waiter and even the boss breathed a sigh of relief; she had eaten so much that they were a little scared.

Clarissa dropped two gold coins to pay the bill.

“Here’s your 3 silver coins change…” The waiter said, holding three silver coins.

“No need, it’s for you ~” Clarissa waved her hand, telling the waiter.

“Thank you! Thank you, milady!” The waiter’s eyes instantly lit up, and they all bowed in gratitude.

As expected of a knight milady! So graceful, so generous!

See, her prestige just soared.

Clarissa waved her hand with a calm expression and walked out of the inn.

After walking a short distance, she let out a deep breath.

“Phew~” Clarissa almost couldn’t keep up the act.

This was all based on her shallow understanding and imagination of how a “milady” would behave.

What she didn’t know was that Tang Ziheng was laughing uncontrollably “behind the scenes.”

It was like watching a full 3D, no-dead-angle live broadcast.

Tang Ziheng naturally knew Clarissa was faking it; he knew everything Clarissa was thinking.

This was a feature he could actively turn on and off.

Since he had nothing to do now, it was naturally on.

Hmm, he wasn’t someone who liked to listen to other people’s thoughts; it was just that he was just starting, so he needed to understand more.

After all, she was his “worker,” and he needed to care for his subordinates.

The things Clarissa did also generated source points, though only a small amount, 2 source points.

The “System” prompted Clarissa: [God has rewarded you with 2 source points.]

Clarissa heard the prompt and was delighted. God was too generous!

You know, 1 source point could be exchanged for 100 gold coins in the mall! (In reality, even if Tang Ziheng produced 100 tons of gold, it wouldn’t cost 1 source point; source points could be said to be on the level of world origin.)

It was equivalent to God bestowing 200 gold coins upon her!

Clarissa quickly praised the “System God” in her heart.

This made Tang Ziheng laugh uncontrollably.

There was nothing he could do; he was truly bored with nothing to do. Watching “live broadcasts” was also a way to pass the time. This place, apart from nothingness, was just nothingness.

Clarissa, with her dazzling golden hair, dressed in exquisite white and black-trimmed clothes, and with a knight’s sword at her waist, walked down the street, as conspicuous as a bright full moon in the night sky.

At this moment, two men and one woman happened to emerge from the street corner opposite.

As they chatted and laughed, one of them saw Clarissa and immediately tapped his companion.

“Hey! How about her? Should we ask her to be our teammate?” the girl asked her companion.

“Holy cow! So beautiful! Ellie, she’s ten times prettier than you, aren’t you afraid she’ll steal your thunder if you ask her to be your teammate?” the boy said with a laugh.

“Get lost! Are you going or not? Look at that aura, she seems quite strong! And so pretty, easy on the eyes!” the girl called Ellie said with a smile.

“I’m fine with it, but finding someone so beautiful… it might easily lead to trouble,” said another blonde boy, who was quite handsome.

“Let’s go, let’s go! We haven’t found anyone suitable yet, let’s give it a try!” said another brown-haired boy.
