The mascot of the wishing shop is a cat.

"So what's going on now?"

Earl looked at Meros in front of him. Although he had calmed down, the undercurrents in his shadow revealed the anger in his heart.

There's no conflict, is there?

"Two different forces were forcibly brought together and maintained a precarious balance by this silver liquid, so an energy collision occurred as soon as it was opened. Now, the moon should have been sucked into the spacetime rift formed by the collision of the two energies, but with my energy protection, there will definitely be no problem."

Meros frowned; though he said that, he still seemed quite worried.

"You look like you want to carry your wife around with you all the time."

Earl rolled his eyes. He wasn't one for romance; he just couldn't understand how they could be so clingy. Wouldn't that be inconvenient when fighting? And wasn't that just creating an extra weakness for no reason? What was the point?!

"If only it were possible, but she wouldn't be happy..."

Meros muttered in a low voice.

"I thought you had already changed for the better ten years ago, but I didn't expect you just hid yourself away. I knew it, you were willing to spread your strength down here, just to guard it yourself, weren't you?"

Earl really didn't know what to say. If he was wrong, his behavior had obviously become more restrained. If he was right, he even concealed his identity and pretended to be a house cat next to the person just to keep an eye on them.

"Well, what else? To see her disappear from my sight again? Like this? This is the second time, and this time it was even because of someone else's premeditation."

Melos was getting agitated, and he began pacing around the drawing room.

"Um, why don't you ask humans for help? After all, although many of them are weak, their abilities are really diverse. I saw a man on TV last time who could produce milk; that's his special ability, and it's amazing."

Earl stepped back a few paces and offered advice to Meros. It wasn't that he didn't want to go in, but Meros's emotions were truly unstable. Looking at the occasional flashing spatial rifts, he was just an avatar; how could he possibly withstand them?

"Hmm...you're right, let's go."

Meros thought for a moment and decided to go now, as things might change if he waited too long.

"Okay, but what about the child upstairs? If you leave her here like this, your Lin Xiyue will cause trouble when she comes back."

Earl reached into his pocket and pulled out a set of clothes. He changed into them while asking Meros a question.

"I'll leave her a note; she can take care of herself. Let's go."

As soon as Melos pushed open the door, he walked straight out, even reaching out to pull a flying car out of the space and flipping himself up into it.

"Hey hey hey!! Wait for me! ヽ(?Д?)?"

Earl put on a dark green shirt, and with a leap, jumped onto the car that Meros was starting up.

"Oh ho~~ Let's go~"

Earl cheered, and the car shot off like an arrow.

Because of the previous wave of pressure from Meros, there are almost no cars on the road now. Everyone is obeying orders to stay in their rooms, protect themselves and their families, and wait for further instructions.

..............................

On the other side, after being enveloped in light, Lin Xiyue closed her eyes.

When she opened her eyes again, she was no longer in the wishing shop, but in the canopy of a giant tree.

Lin Xiyue looked up and found that the tree she was standing on was the tallest in the entire forest. From here, she could easily see everything around her—a vast and boundless ocean of tree canopies.

However, the leaves here are a strange ice-blue, and the trunks are a deep purple. A gust of wind blows, and the ice-blue leaves rustle in the wind, then a cloud of ice-blue mist floats in the air, refracting a dazzling and magnificent light in the sunlight. This mist is carried by the wind to an unknown distance.

"Well."

Lin Xiyue instinctively covered her mouth and nose with the handkerchief she was wearing before she began to appreciate the dreamlike scenery.

System? Are you there?

[Yes, host. (￣▽￣)~*]

Is this still the same planet? (｀_′)ゞ

[Not here, dear~︿(￣︶￣)︿]

Why do you seem so happy? [?ヘ??]

[Ah, hahaha, no, not at all~┐(′?｀)┌]

Okay, okay, do you know where this is?

[Hmm, I need to do a scan, it will take about ten minutes. In the meantime, host, you should think about how to get down; it's quite dangerous for you here.]

Okay, thank you for your help. ヽ(￣w￣〃)ゝ

[Hehehe, no trouble at all. (●′3｀●) Please be careful during this time, as I won't be able to keep an eye on your surroundings while I'm doing a full scan.]

Ok.

After a brief exchange, the system went silent to perform a full scan of the entire planet.

Lin Xiyue was thinking about how to get down.

She knew jumping was out of the question. Looking down, she realized the tree was too tall; she couldn't see the ground at all. Climbing down was equally impossible; she simply didn't have the strength.

Secondly, she was also afraid of encountering dangers on the way down, and that she might not even have time to deal with the problem. Moreover, since she had not been trained, she might not even be able to detect the danger before it was too late.

We can't just wait for the system to finish its work before trying to figure out how to proceed, and then just sit there for ten minutes, can we?

Lin Xiyue thought for a moment and then opened her attribute interface.

[Name: Lin Xiyue]

Package+]

Lin Xiyue discovered that her "summoning" ability was highlighted and turned gray, with an explanation that it had been temporarily sealed. Unable to contact the system right now, Lin Xiyue decided to deal with another matter first.

She opened the task interface and checked whether the task was completed. The task didn't even have a specific reward; it only said that the reward depended on her actions and circumstances.

[bite--

Your task is complete.

Level +1, Stamina +1, Spirit +10, Ability +10, Card Draw Value +1000.

Lin Xiyue initially felt she was getting a bad deal when she saw the rewards, since the mission was quite dangerous and the rewards were so meager. But when she saw the 1,000 card-drawing points, her eyes lit up.
