Even though Saifei'er didn't deliberately slow her steps, she walked almost silently. She glanced at Ailiya, who was still sleeping beside her, then gently pushed open the door and stepped out.
The very next second after she closed the door, a male voice sounded beside her, “What are you doing up so early?”
“Eeek—!” This sudden question startled Saifei'er, and her tail instantly stiffened, becoming as hard as a stick.
Saifei'er instinctively leaped back, and then... because she didn't control her strength, she directly bumped her head against the ceiling.
“Thud!”
“Ouch~!”
Even Fei, who had excellent emotional control, almost lost his composure upon seeing this scene. “...”
Saifei'er squatted on the ground, rubbing her head, and then she saw that it was Fei, sitting cross-legged on the floor, leaning against the corridor wall, a book in his hand.
“You're the one, what are you doing here so early?!”
One must know, it was only around four in the morning; who would be sitting by the door reading at this hour!
“Couldn't sleep.” Saying that, Fei stood up and gently pushed open his room door. Immediately, a thunderous rumble emerged: 'Hoo—rululu~!!! Hoo—rulululu~~!!!'
Undoubtedly, it was Douglas's snoring.
Saifei'er was silent for a moment, then couldn't help but cast a sympathetic look at Fei.
Fei closed the door again and continued, “So, what are you planning to do?”
Saifei'er said, “Just going out for a stroll, getting some exercise. I'll be back before breakfast.”
Although this sounded strange at first—who would go for a walk at four in the morning?—it was indeed the truth.
Fei didn't ask further but suddenly changed the subject, “Everyone has their secrets, which is normal. I won't deliberately probe into anything, but I hope you don't do anything to betray the team.”
Saifei'er immediately said, “Of course not! Little Ailiya is so cute, how could I possibly betray her?”
Hearing this, Fei was stunned. He had imagined Saifei'er joining their small team to steal money, but they were dirt poor and had very little money. He had also imagined Saifei'er was there to steal items, but they didn't have any valuable possessions either.
But now, could it be that this Catgirl's target was their captain Ailiya? Was she here to steal a person!?
This... is this right?
Fei's face was expressionless, but his heart was already in turmoil, beginning to wildly overthink.
Saifei'er, unaware of what the other person was thinking, waved her hand and turned to leave the Adventurers' Guild. The streets at four in the morning were almost devoid of pedestrians, quiet and desolate, but this was just perfect.
Saifei'er first did some simple exercises based on the calisthenics from her previous life, then slightly bent her legs and lightly leaped, directly landing on a wooden house three to four meters high nearby.
She landed on her right foot, the entire weight of her body concentrated on her toes, yet even so, her body remained incredibly stable, without the slightest sign of trembling.
Then she bent down, her extreme flexibility allowing her right hand to easily press against the wooden rooftop. After that, she slowly raised her right leg as well, transforming into a head-down, one-hand-supported posture, holding up her entire body.
When a normal person maintains balance, slight swaying and minor trembling of the body are normal reactions for adjusting the center of gravity, but Saifei'er didn't need to, because she had a tail. She could keep her body perfectly still and precisely adjust her center of gravity by swinging her tail back and forth, allowing her to maintain optimal balance at all times.
“Wow~!” Saifei'er couldn't help but show an excited expression. After all, in her previous life, it was a struggle for her fingers to touch the ground when stretching, but now her palm could easily press against it.
Then, with a slight push of her right hand, she 'pushed' herself into the air, performed two quick backflips in mid-air, and still landed steadily on the rooftop with her right foot.
In just one day, Saifei'er's control over her body had visibly improved significantly.
Then she quickly jogged, lightly leaping from one rooftop to another. It's worth noting that throughout this series of movements, she didn't make a single sound; her body was like a light feather, as if it had no weight.
Saifei'er's speed increased, and in no time, she ran out of the small town. Along the stone path, a small stream soon appeared in her sight.
She suddenly remembered something and slowly decelerated, stopping by the stream. She peered her small head towards the water, and then her own reflection appeared before her.
Speaking of which, after transmigrating, this was the first time she had seen her own appearance with her own eyes.
Although she knew what Saifei'er looked like when playing games in her previous life, the in-game visuals and seeing it with her own eyes were definitely two different feelings.
Her hands couldn't help but caress her face, her beautiful, glass-like eyes seeming to sparkle, “Wow, this is too cute~!”
Before this, in her mind, the most beautiful and cutest girl she had seen was Ailiya; of course, now it had become herself.
Afterward, she kneaded her small face for a bit before continuing to familiarize herself with her body.
For example, performing some yoga poses that heavily tested body flexibility, sticking out her butt to try to control her tail more precisely, and... attempting to use 'Godspeed'.
By the time Saifei'er returned to the town, the sun had fully risen, two hours later. As soon as she returned to the Adventurers' Guild, she could see Ailiya and Fei standing in front of the quest board, seemingly choosing which quest to take next.
Saifei'er also went over and quickly scanned it:
“Hunt a rampaging wild boar in a certain farmland, reward 5 gold dragons”
“Clear fluorescent mushrooms in a certain forest, reward 3 gold dragons”
“Help map a certain area, reward 10 gold dragons”
“...”
Perhaps because this town was relatively remote, there weren't many tasks on the bulletin board, and in Saifei'er's opinion, the content was all simple. Of course, the rewards were generally not high.
For example, the first quest, although the reward was 5 gold dragons, one must remember that Ailiya's team of four had spent almost 1 gold dragon last night.
Perhaps for the commoners in the farmland, gathering 5 gold dragons would have been a huge effort, but for adventurers, that amount of money was truly not much.
She felt that this type of quest was more suitable for single, new adventurers to complete, after all, it was just one wild boar, it shouldn't be too powerful, right...?
......
ps: Because this book started relatively early, when writing this part, I didn't have detailed settings, and was slightly backstabbed. To patch it up, the protagonist transmigrated during Honkai: Star Rail version 3.2, having only seen the preview and knowing that the Catgirl has Godspeed, but unaware of the power of Trickster Titan. She thought she had Godspeed, tricking herself, and thus she truly gained it. The protagonist's realization of this and true understanding of the Trickster's power will come later.
