The mont the countdown reached zero, a familiar white light flared. In the blink of an eye, Bai Mu had returned to his community room.

A continuous string of system notifications rang in his ears regarding the Script settlent. Because this was an Adventure Script, there were no Points or Community Ti rewarded, but the item and treasure chest payouts were still quite generous.
The mont he returned, his physical condition was reset. Xiao Wei had reverted into a doll, resting quietly in a slot within his inventory. This was his first ti bringing a person with a complete soul out of a Script. "Best Friend's Help" was a summoning skill; when activated, the entities he called forth were more like projections of Lucy and the Witch. Xiao Wei, however, had truly been transford into a Magical Familiar and physically brought back to his community room.
He was in no rush to tally up his rewards. Instead, he took out the doll and summoned Xiao Wei.
This item was not restricted from use within the community. That was likely because Xiao Wei possessed no destructive or harmful capabilities. At best, she could be considered a mascot.
Within seconds, the doll transford back into a young girl. She looked around the unfamiliar room with a sense of trepidation. As a village girl who had grown up in the Middle Ages, this modern room—which resembled a single room in a high-end hotel—was incredibly alien and shocking to her. Her attire clashed sharply with the modernized setting. In a way, she had essentially ti-traveled hundreds of years into the future, arriving in an era she simply could not comprehend.
She stared blankly at the glowing light bulb overhead, the television mounted on the wall, the tal faucets, the all-tal fitness equipnt, and even the neat and tidy single bed. She was seeing all of these things for the very first ti.
Bai Mu felt sowhat curious about what it was like from her perspective to beco an item and a summon. He asked, "Do you know where we are?"
Xiao Wei shook her head at first, then nodded. "Mr. Bai, we are in a place called the Endless Paradise, aren't we?"
"Did you also hear the Paradise notifications?" Bai Mu inquired.
Xiao Wei nodded. "It feels so strange, as if a new segnt of mory was suddenly implanted into my mind."
Bai Mu spent a few minutes conversing with Xiao Wei in detail. It seed that at the exact mont of teleportation, she had been digitized just like a Player. As Bai Mu's subordinate summon, she acquired the basic rules of Paradise, making her akin to a Player with limited features. Much like a Player, she could view her own status panel, and Paradise consumables would have their full effect on her. However, she did not possess functions like Community Ti, the shop, or Points. Her panel was a stripped-down version, and she lacked the Player's supernatural ability to accept quests or see item descriptions.
Through Bai Mu's main interface, he could pull up Xiao Wei's panel under the summons tab.
[Na: Viola]
[Category: Summon (Magical Familiar)]
[Rating: Normal]
[Strength: 6 points]
[Agility: 7 points]
[Spirit: 16 points]
[Mana: 100 points]
[Active Skill: Form Transformation]
[Passive Skills: Magical Aptitude, Indomitable Will, Mana Surge, Culinary Mastery Lv7, Chore Mastery Lv7, Tailoring Mastery Lv8.] Her only active skill was the ability to shift back and forth between a doll and a young girl. Her strength and agility were on par with a normal teenager, but her Spirit far exceeded the average level. Furthermore, she possessed an additional "Mana" attribute, likely because she had awakened her magical talents when swapping bodies with Ellen.
Bai Mu tapped on her passive skills to examine them. The effect of Magical Aptitude allowed her to ignore the learning requirents of any magic-based skill, scaling off her Spirit attribute checks.
The passive skill Indomitable Will granted her an additional 5 points whenever she underwent a Spirit attribute check. This skill synergized perfectly with Magical Aptitude, pushing her effective Spirit during checks to 21 points. This bypassed the critical threshold of 20 by exactly 1 point, allowing her to ignore the learning requirents for any Rare grade or lower magic-based skill.
He could also see the required Spirit points for the next threshold in the skill tree. Once she reached 45 points, she would be able to learn any Perfect grade magic skill.
Lastly, Mana Surge reduced her Mana consumption by 30 percent when casting any magic skill. This made Bai Mu realize Xiao Wei's imnse potential. Although he had wanted to bring the girl out at the ti without expecting anything in return—rely wishing to spare her from further suffering in that place—it seed Xiao Wei was actually his greatest haul from this Script.
This was the equivalent of gaining an evolvable, high-potential mage teammate who obeyed his every command. It was important to note that within the Paradise system, Xiao Wei was his summon, and a summon could not defy their master's orders. Bai Mu could place absolute trust in her.
Even in solo Scripts, he could bring Xiao Wei along. Although she had not grown strong enough yet and could not offer much practical help, as long as he had spare resources to nurture her, she would undoubtedly beco a powerful asset.
Their fates were now bound together. Unless Bai Mu listed the "Doll" on the Player Trading Market and sold it, her existence remained tied to his. If Bai Mu died in a Script, she would vanish along with him.
They were currently in a symbiotic relationship, one far more reliable and steadfast than the bond between Player teammates.
'So this is the exclusive reward for the Hidden Ending. I guess this counts as good karma?' Bai Mu mused.
It was blatantly obvious that the other four people could never have obtained the "Doll" item. Its "Unique" item grade clearly highlighted Xiao Wei's special nature.
