Poppy and the Hideout      

[CONGRATULATIONS! Your Relationship Level with Poppy increased to INTIMATE!]

Xin was startled, and he couldn't react at first. This was the first time he had encountered an NPC with a Relationship Level to players.

"You . . ." Xin didn't know where to start with his question.

Poppy tilted her head to the side. "Hmm? Do you want to go to our hideout?"

"Hideout?"

Before Xin could react, Poppy grabbed his arm and briskly led him inside the abandon storage building.

Upon entering, Xin was greeted by an assortment of seemingly random items strewn about, creating an eclectic atmosphere. 

Piles of discarded gadgets, makeshift forts, and haphazardly arranged furniture hinted at the creativity and resourcefulness of the children who had claimed this space.

What captured Xin's attention, however, were the children who seemed to materialize from various corners of the room.
