Chapter 158 Little Carp
More and more people are returning to Yin Yang City because of these videos, and Ye Zao has been reminding everyone that Yin Yang City will be closed in a few days.

Ye Zao was also very fortunate that the video he posted this time was not censored!
It seems the authorities aren't planning to intervene.

The night breeze was gentle, and the amusement park was bustling with activity.

Many people leave after meeting once, but many others stay and want to see their loved ones more often.

Some people, after seeing their relatives, chose to go and play on other amusement rides.

Song Zhizhi asked Xiaoshu to prepare the ingredients and invited Song Yi, Xiao Niu, and Di Ting to cook hot pot for them.

Everyone was stunned when they heard Song Yi report the sales figures.

The little tree didn't understand any of this and just kept eating, while the calf and Di Ting were quite surprised when they heard the number.

"Sister, does that mean we won't have to worry about money anymore?"

Di Ting nodded in agreement.

They ate and chatted at the same time.

Song Zhizhi heard the system's voice.

[The system is very pleased with the host's diligence. The amusement park facilities are ready to be upgraded again. Aren't you excited?]

There are so many people, at least a thousand coming and going.

It's normal to be able to upgrade, but Song Zhizhi was still a little excited.

Another upgrade is coming!
Unfortunately, Yin Yang City will be closing in three days.

But before they had even finished their hotpot, they received a message from Song Jiang.

He wanted his grandfather to stay here until Yin-Yang City closed.

This is probably what the old man meant.

Song Zhizhi did not refuse and generously invited Song Jiang and Grandpa Song to come and cook hot pot together.

The person arrived in less than five minutes.

Only Song Jiang and his grandfather came; Song Jiang's parents didn't come. Song Zhizhi was quite satisfied with this sense of propriety.

"Zhizhi, I'm sorry to trouble you." The old man spoke with a smile, his previous sadness gone.

"I'm already very happy that you would do me the honor of attending, sir. It's no trouble at all."

Everyone knows how to say polite things.

The old man laughed when he heard this, "If only my grandson were half as sensible as Zhizhi."

Song Jiang, who was suddenly called: ...

What's your relationship with him?
Song Zhizhi wanted to say, "If you knew your grandson's true identity, would you still say that?"
But she didn't say it.

"Grandpa, these bamboo shoots are especially fragrant and crispy, please try them!" Song Jiang's eyes lit up as he ate the hotpot.

This food tastes better than anything he's ever eaten!

Grandpa Song took a bite, and it was delicious!
As he got older, his appetite diminished considerably, and he usually ate carefully selected meals, but he still couldn't eat much.

After tasting the bamboo shoot slices his grandson had picked up, Grandpa Song felt his appetite was greatly stimulated!

It's like my stomach from when I was young has come back!
"Isn't it delicious, Grandpa?" Little Tree's childish voice interrupted Grandpa Song, who was eating bamboo shoots.

"Yes, it's delicious."

"I grew all these vegetables myself!"

Anyway, that mountain belongs to her, and everything on it belongs to her, so there shouldn't be anything wrong with what she planted!
The little tree said this with great pride.

Old Master Song was stunned.

"You planted it?"

Looking at the little girl in front of him, who was probably only four or five years old, the old man was incredulous.

"Of course! You can ask my sister if you don't believe me!"

Song Zhizhi smiled and said, "These vegetables were brought over by Xiaoshu."

"Little Tree? Is that your name? Where do you live?" Old Master Song thought that when he left, he could go to the little girl's parents to buy some vegetables to take back home. They were so delicious!

"I live right here! Grandpa hasn't been to the Ginseng Paradise instance yet, has he?"

Xiao Shu seems to like Grandpa Song quite a bit.

When Grandpa Song heard that Xiaoshu was living in the instance, he looked somewhat surprised.

"You grow vegetables in the dungeon?"

"Yes, that mountain is all my territory!"

Grandpa Song looked at Xiaoshu thoughtfully, "Grandpa will go play in your dungeon tomorrow."

The little tree was very happy.

Seeing that Grandpa Song didn't ask Song Zhizhi why she didn't let such a small tree go to school, and didn't suspect that she was employing child labor, Song Zhizhi's goodwill towards the Song family increased dramatically.

"Zhizhi, I'm old, can I call you Zhizhi?"

"of course can."

The old man was such a big shot, yet he still respected her so much. Song Zhizhi knew it must be partly because she owned an amusement park, but she genuinely felt good about him.

"I heard that my grandson will be staying here permanently from now on? Will we be able to see him anytime then?"

With just one sentence, Song Zhizhi knew what the old man wanted to ask.

"Song Jiang will not live in Yin Yang City. Yin Yang City will disappear precisely in three days."

Song Zhizhi used the word "disappeared".

The old man's expression shifted. In fact, he could have taken over the amusement park with a single word, but he didn't, especially after entering Yin-Yang City.

"Thank you, Zhizhi, for taking my grandson in."

Song Zhizhi smiled but did not answer the question.

Until the hotpot meal was finished, the old man didn't ask any more difficult questions.

They seem to have accepted the fact that Song Jiang is leaving.

"Xiao Chen, have you known Zhi Zhi for a long time?"

Xiao Chen briefly recounted his interactions with Song Zhizhi after he started working here.

Song Zhizhi then realized that Xiao Chen was not from this place. He had a powerful background in the eyes of ordinary people, but he had applied to be transferred to this remote place.

Xiao Chen was unfazed by everyone's regret. If he hadn't been here, how could he have met Song Zhizhi?

Perhaps it was fate for him as well.

After the meal, everyone left.

Song Zhizhi opened the app and saw a notification that she could upgrade.

With the emergence of Yin-Yang Cities, it's only natural that people would accept things that cannot be explained by science.

The Skyscraper Castle can be upgraded. Song Zhizhi was shocked when she saw the Skyscraper Castle in the preview mode.

The dragon on the exterior of the Ferris wheel seems to have flown out?
It flew around Song Zhizhi once.

This was the first time Song Zhizhi had ever seen such a creature that only existed in mythology.

But in the blink of an eye, the dragon was still on the Ferris wheel.

It was as if everything that had just happened was an illusion.

But the feeling just now was so real!
Will the dragon become real after the upgrade?
Song Zhizhi was somewhat conflicted.

Upon closer inspection, the dragon was missing an eye.

Sure enough, there was a quest available called "Adding the Finishing Touch."

[Add the finishing touch: Draw eyes on it, and it can soar into the clouds, truly transforming into a dragon.]

[Are you excited? Shocked? Scared? Don't worry, it won't appear outside the Sky Castle without the host's permission.]

[The host can communicate with it telepathically. The skyscraper castle is its territory, and it will not disobey the host's commands.] [What does the appearance of the dragon symbolize? The host surely knows the answer in their heart.]

Song Zhizhi: ...

what is the answer?
I do not know!
However, Song Zhizhi was still very interested in getting the dragon to obey her!

Night had fallen, and the instances were being closed one after another.

Song Zhizhi led Xiao Niu and Di Ting into the Sky Castle.

Upon learning what Song Zhizhi was going to do, Di Ting was very excited. "The art of painting the dragon's eyes has been lost for several years. Master actually knows how to use it!"

Perhaps because of the child's ancient past, the calf showed little shock or excitement.

"Little Niu, take your sister upstairs."

The little cow, holding Song Zhizhi's hand, suddenly appeared next to the Ferris wheel with the dragon head painted on it. Song Zhizhi bit her finger, but as a native human, she still couldn't bring herself to do it. She could only use a knife to make a cut, squeeze out the blood, and dot the dragon's eyes with it.

Watching Song Zhizhi's actions from below, Di Ting couldn't help but wonder what kind of deity its master was!
He actually managed to add the finishing touch to the painting using his own blood!

A dazzling light emanated from the dragon's body, but it vanished in an instant.

The little cow and her sister were standing on the Ferris wheel the next second, looking up at the scene.

The dragon's body undulated, and the dragon's head, with its eyes dotted, moved little by little, as if sensing something, and looked towards the position where Song Zhizhi was standing.

Two beams of light shone from his eyes.

Before Xiao Niu could even make a move, Di Ting lashed out with a claw towards Song Zhizhi's direction, blocking the beam of light that was shot towards them.

"You dare to attack your master so soon after you appear?!" Di Ting's voice was cold.

Song Zhizhi was indeed startled.

The calf stretched out its hand, and a long whip appeared in its palm. But before it could flick the whip, the dragon suddenly descended, stammering, "I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to!"

His voice was a little soft, not at all like his big size.

As it was speaking, when it saw that the little ox and Di Ting didn't react, the huge dragon suddenly turned into a little girl about the same size as the little ox.

If it weren't for the two dragon horns on her head, you really wouldn't be able to tell that she wasn't human.

The little girl stood there with her head down, looking somewhat frightened, not daring to utter a single word.

They seem to be waiting for punishment.

After a moment of silence, the little girl suddenly burst into tears.

Song Zhizhi and Xiao Niu Diting looked at each other somewhat bewildered.

"Why are you crying! If I hadn't stopped you, Master would have been hurt!" Di Ting was still a little angry.

"I really didn't mean to, waaaaaah!" The crying continued.

"Stop crying, tell us what happened," Song Zhizhi said. It was so heartbreaking to see such a beautiful little girl crying!

This girl is just as adorable as a little tree!

I can’t stand it!
"Sister! I..." The little girl seemed to have already figured it out; here, her sister was the eldest and held the highest status!
"I haven't been outside for so long. I was so excited when I realized I could move again that I lost control..."

"Haven't been out for too long? Where have you been before?"

"I don't even know myself. It's like I've been asleep for a very, very long time... But I almost hurt my sister. I don't know when I woke up. I was just in a daze on this thing. I could hear a lot of people's voices, but I couldn't see them clearly."

The little one started crying loudly again.

The calf looked at the little girl with annoyance, "Can you please stop crying!"

"Wow, I can't help it!"

Song Zhizhi immediately picked up the little girl and pinched her cheeks, saying, "Don't cry, don't cry, sister is not angry anymore."

Song Zhizhi had very little experience in comforting children, and the little girl was still crying after she had tried to soothe her for a while.

Di Ting couldn't help but shout, "If you cry again, I'll have my master seal you away again!"

Sure enough, the next second!
The little girl stopped crying, and because she was so upset, she even hiccuped. Her eyes were still brimming with tears. "I don't want to go back. I'll never cry again."

"Alright, stop scaring her. From today onwards, she's a member of our family."

"What's your name?"

The little girl tilted her head to look at Song Zhizhi, who was holding her, thought for a moment, then shook her head, looking very aggrieved, "I forgot."

"Then let's go with Little Carp."

"Thank you, sister. I have a name now. I'll be called Little Carp from now on."

The little girl seems to really like this name.

The calf looked at the carp with annoyance, feeling that the girl was not as likable as the tree and was completely useless.

What can my sister do if she comes?

The calf tugged at Di Ting's paw, and Di Ting immediately understood.

"Little carp, we all follow our master and can help him make money. What can you do?"

Little Carp paused for a moment, "I...I can carry them and fly! Is that okay?"

"No! Absolutely not!" Song Zhizhi immediately stopped her.

"Then...can I...make it rain?" Little Carp looked timidly at Song Zhizhi, then at the fierce-looking Di Ting and Little Ox.

"You should go back up there," Di Ting said, looking at Xiao Li with some disdain.

Little Carp wanted to cry, but seeing Di Ting's threatening expression, she suddenly took out a scale from her conjured pouch. "This is the hardest scale, it can withstand an attack from a Golden Immortal! I'm giving it to my sister!"

Upon hearing this, Song Zhizhi couldn't help but recall a story that mentioned each dragon had a particularly hard scale that could withstand death.

This is enough to show how powerful this thing is. However, if the dragon loses this scale, it will be injured and will need to recuperate for hundreds of years to recover.

Although Song Zhizhi wanted such a magical artifact, she was unwilling to hurt the little girl, after all, they were family.

And she looks so young.

I just can't bring myself to do it!

"Are these scales from your own body?" Di Ting sensed Song Zhizhi's emotions.

"I don't think so. I don't remember clearly. I think it was given to me by my father."

When Di Ting asked again, Xiao Li said she didn't remember.

Song Zhizhi held the scale in her palm. She didn't expect that such a small thing would be so heavy. The cold aura seemed to penetrate the scale and enter Song Zhizhi's body.

"Where are your own scales?"

"It's on me." Little Carp was very happy to see her sister take the gift.

Song Zhizhi promptly put the gift away.

"Sister, this scale must be placed on your chest. I can help you, but these two lords don't understand our dragon clan's techniques, so I must do it..."

Xiao Li's voice was a little low.

This time, Song Zhizhi did not refuse either.

Xiao Niu and Di Ting stood aside, watching Xiao Li use the dragon clan's techniques. Her scales soared into the air and then entered Song Zhizhi's heart. Song Zhizhi felt a warm current flowing through her body, a very comfortable feeling.

"Sister, as long as it's not a Golden Immortal, no one can hurt you!"

The little carp hopped and skipped around, eager to show off its success.

"Thank you, Little Carp. I really like this gift."

This is the first magical artifact gift that Song Zhizhi has received, and it can even protect her life!

This upgrade was such a great deal!

Seeing its owner happy, Di Ting naturally stopped being fierce to the little carp.

Seeing how happy her older sister was, Xiao Niu stopped targeting Xiao Li, since she had given her sister a nice gift.

The little calf was just a little sad; why didn't he have anything nice to give his sister?

The three of them sat under the Ferris wheel and began to plan Xiao Li's job.
