Initially, Pixie thought that entering the depths of the wilderness would spell disaster for the Becker family. To her surprise, what started as a crisis turned into an opportunity!

As she looked at the supplies in the warehouse, they just kept increasing—filling her heart with hope.

Pixie couldn't contain her excitement, eagerly sharing the news in the world chat.

"Who would have thought it could turn out like this..."

"Fortune favors... I seriously underestimated Eirik and his golden card!"

Everyone was taken aback, filled with emotions. We had all expected Pixie to be in for a rough time this round! Who would have guessed that Eirik, with his talent for luck, would turn a potential family catastrophe into a massive opportunity?

Not only had we uncovered numerous treasures, but the entire family was undergoing a transformation. The Becker family, once filled with idle rich youths, now stood united.

Although they had some strength and unwavering loyalty, they often fell short in battles. But now, after battling countless beasts and monsters, every member of the family had grown. Each of them was now a warrior.

They had mastered teamwork, functioning almost like a magical scholar's army. If the Becker family had this level of unity and strength from the beginning, what would it matter if they had to wait in the city for the emperor's envoy to arrive?

This newfound power was not to be underestimated. Even if they teamed up with a few ordinary soldiers, they could spark a significant uproar. The emperor of the Dawnstar Dynasty would certainly think twice before messing with them.

After all, would he really take revenge on them just because he lost a son? Absolutely not! As long as the Becker family was strong enough, even if he truly killed a prince or a noble, the emperor would have to swallow his pride.

"New artwork unlocked!"

Pixie suddenly brightened up, noticing that both she and Eirik now had a new scene illustration. The title of this artwork was *"Fighting Together."*

In the artwork, Eirik and Pixie stood back to back, battling a colossal beast. Though dwarfed by the mountain-like monster, their faces showed no fear; united, with their swords drawn, they radiated determination.

*【Artwork Effect (Purple): Significantly boosts family morale and increases the holder's damage output.】*

A purple effect?!

Hehe!

Pixie happily scrutinized the illustration. That purple effect was something she had only had once before, and it was a family gift. Now, carrying this artwork, she had gained an additional purple effect. The feeling was absolutely exhilarating.

This tale has been unlawfully obtained from Royal Road. If you discover it on Amazon, kindly report it.

More importantly, Eirik looked incredibly handsome in the illustration, while she appeared as beautiful as a celestial being. This made the beauty-obsessed Pip unable to look away!

"Is it really thanks to Eirik’s golden card that Pixie’s journey has become so colorful?"

"Seeing her life and then glancing at my own, I suddenly feel so mundane. How boring..."

Many lurking players quietly sighed. Some even resolved in their hearts: Next time, we have to snag Eirik for ourselves!

Isn’t it just about building a deep friendship with this guy? If Pip can do it, why can’t we?

*【After enduring countless hardships, you finally discover a vibrant elemental mountain range named Starlight Range, where the elemental index has reached purple level. Would you like to settle here?】*

After three grueling months of exploration in-game, the system finally popped up a special notification!

Eirik's heart trembled with excitement.

Finally! We found a suitable location!

While it wasn't a golden mountain, purple was still quite excellent. Golden mountains were probably long claimed by other hidden clans. Finding a purple one was already a significant achievement.

*【Your husband Eirik suggests settling here. What is your opinion?】*

"Do I even need to say? Let's settle!"

Pixie nodded eagerly.

"Heh, you always agree with Eirik’s suggestions. Why not just let the game system take care of everything?"

Someone anonymously commented, looking down on Pixie.

"Let it take care of everything..."

Pixie ignored the jealous comments from the other women. She thought to herself that perhaps letting the system handle things wasn't a bad idea. After all, with such a powerful husband and son, she could simply enjoy the benefits!

"Ugh, it’s already bright out. I still need to study magic with Eirik in the real world..."

Thinking this, Pixie reluctantly closed the prediction panel. While predicting the future was thrilling, she couldn’t neglect reality! Otherwise, wouldn’t that be counterproductive?

She had to make sure to capture Eirik in the real world too!

"Hehe, I wonder if he’s awake yet!"

With that thought, Pixie didn’t rush out. Instead, she quickly woke the sleepy maid and began getting ready. A girl had to look her best when going out!

On the other side, Eirik was still in the game.

The system had popped up a new notification.

*【Your family has settled in Starlight Range. This place is brimming with elemental energy, boasting stunning scenery. Your family is joyfully building their home, full of hopes for the future. But soon, you will face the first challenge of your seclusion.】*

*【The Starlight Range was once the territory of a group of monkeys. Your arrival has made the monkey king(no wukong) extremely unhappy. These monkeys frequently clash with your family, and you have tried to appease them, offering a substantial amount of Elemental Stone magical items as compensation.】*

*【Yet the monkeys remain ungrateful. The greedy monkey king thinks you are easy prey and has ramped up his attacks, even ruthlessly attacking your family. Your conflicts have escalated to an irreconcilable state...】*

These monkeys are quite ungrateful!

Sorry, monkeys, but it’s time for a policy change!

Eirik immediately set about driving the monkeys away. Although the monkey king（No Wukong） had reached Practitioner Lv8 and Eirik’s team was only Practitioner Lv7, it was quite ordinary for game protagonists to challenge opponents above their level.

Eirik and Pixie teamed up, delivering a powerful couple’s combo, and in no time, they drove the monkeys away. The only regret was that the monkey king was strong enough to escape despite his defeat.

With the monkey horde gone, peace returned to the land, and life grew tranquil once more. Eirik and Pixie immersed themselves in their daily studies of magic. Their son, Thal, was also growing rapidly, improving by leaps and bounds.

However, good times don’t last. About a year later in-game, Eirik suddenly noticed a red exclamation mark appear in the upper left corner of his screen.

Upon clicking it, he discovered a brand new system notification.

*【Destiny Warning: The monkey king's revenge is imminent.】*

*【The monkey king, whom you drove away, has harbored resentment. By chance, he encountered a hunter from Aelsryel City. With the hunter’s information and his past experiences, he deduced your true identities.】*

*【The monkey king has transformed into a human and infiltrated Aelsryel City, informing the emperor’s envoy, who is searching for you.】*

*【In less than a month, the emperor’s envoy will arrive at Starlight Range.】*
