The mascot of the wishing shop is a cat.

So, after another chaotic cooking activity...

Finally, with the help of Moros, Lin Xiyue not only prepared a large amount of breakfast, but also a large amount of various kinds of food of different flavors and put them into Moros's space, which even included some snacks.

If you ask where the packaging boxes came from, these were all made by Moros according to Lin Xiyue's requirements after he input some energy. There were as many as she wanted, and they were as big as she wanted.

When Lin Xiyue got into the mood, she even drew a cute chibi version of her own Fugui on it.

"What is this? Is it your favorite food?"

After seeing the pattern Lin Xiyue drew on the packing box, Molos asked with some curiosity.

"No, this is a cat! (●?w?●)? Don't you all know about humans? Haven't you ever seen a picture of one?"

Lin Xiyue touched the takeout box and happily explained to Mo Luosi that she missed her family's wealth.

"Hmm, so this is what cats look like. You like it?"

Moros looked at the cat drawn by Lin Xiyue, lost in thought.

"Yes, this is my cat! So cute! I love it so much! Hehehe. ?(?????)?"

When Lin Xiyue talked about her cat, her eyes were full of love, and that overflowing affection made Mo Luosi feel a little strange.

"Alright, let's go. Here's a map; haven't you been wanting to see it?"

Moros didn't want to discuss the topic anymore, so he started pulling Lin Xiyue to look at the map.

The two entered the living room, where a phantom projection rose from the originally flat floor thanks to a series of operations by Meros that he couldn't understand at all.

First, the entire planet was shown, which was enveloped in blue gas. Then it began to shrink step by step, finally showing the breeding farm where Lin Xiyue and the others were now.

"Wow! How high-class! It even stopped at the main entrance! (o?▽?)o"

Lin Xiyue curiously approached to take a closer look and found the thing to be incredibly futuristic and magical. It floated in the air, allowing her to pass through and see various places. Small arrays could be seen in the corners, and touching them brought up a bunch of options. However, to Lin Xiyue, these options were all gibberish.

"What the heck is all of this?!?!?∑(?Д?ノ)ノ"

Lin Xiyue quickly tapped the small magic circle, only to be completely bewildered by the jumbled code.

"It's our race's language, it's normal that you don't understand it."

Meros stepped forward and casually selected an option, which then fixed the view to a map of the surrounding area. It was quite clear that if they had listened to Meros and taken the other route last night, they would have already reached town.

However, it's hard to say whether this situation is a blessing or a curse. Here, Meros also replenished a lot of energy.

"Why can I understand what you're saying, but not your written language? Is there some kind of high-tech system, like the ability to switch languages ​​freely? ゛('◇')?"

Lin Xiyue asked this question because she had always assumed that the two sides spoke the same language, or that the other races didn't have their own writing system. She hadn't expected that they actually did, and that it was quite complex.

“Our writing is filled with energy in every single character. Hmm… it’s a bit like the runes in your novels, so we don’t allow anyone to write or infuse energy into our writing casually. If someone accidentally writes someone’s name, that person, if they are not strong enough, could be targeted or face even more dangerous consequences.”

Meros gave a brief explanation of how to use these characters, and then continued.

"Then we discovered your civilization, and found that your written language was only used for communication and didn't have any special power, so we began to use your writing on a large scale in our daily lives. There was no need to learn it; we just directly infused it with energy. This place is probably an old-fashioned noble family, a conservative group, so they insist on using our writing. If you really want to switch languages ​​freely, whether it's in the direction of magic or the direction of the technology you use, you need to know the other party's language. You can't even understand what you're saying now, can you?"

Melos further explained why Lin Xiyue and he could now communicate in the same language, and denied Lin Xiyue's unrealistic idea.

"Oh! I see! _(|3」∠)_ I thought I had some kind of protagonist's halo, that I could understand all languages ​​effortlessly. e=(′o｀*))) Sigh, what a pity."

Lin Xiyue's fantasy was gently shattered by Meros's words. ╰(:3╰∠)_

"You're so naive."

Meros smiled and said something, then got up to leave.

"Oh right, I haven't returned the ball you gave me yesterday!"

It was only then that Lin Xiyue remembered that she hadn't returned the crystal ball she had yesterday to Moros. The crystal ball was completely translucent, and inside it was a waning crescent moon, suspended in the center.

Lin Xiyue held the crystal ball in her hand, looked at it curiously, and then tried to hand it to Moros.

"I gave it to you yesterday, do you like it?"

Meros looked at the moon that remained motionless in Lin Xiyue's hand, a playful glint in his eyes.

Wow! You gave it to me! I love it, it's so pretty!

Lin Xiyue looked at the waning crescent moon in the middle and felt a certain something about it.

"Yes. If you encounter danger, throw it away; it will protect you."

"Looking at the crystal ball in Lin Xiyue's hand, which was shimmering with a slightly milky white light, I said this."

"Huh? Protect me? How can this protect me?? (。ヘ°)"

Lin Xiyue looked at the crystal ball, which was now quite beautiful, with some confusion, but seeing the determined look in Moros's eyes, she put the crystal ball into her pocket.

The moment it entered the pocket, the crystal ball flattened into a shape, somewhat like a blanket compressed under vacuum.

"Wow?! This is so much fun! What's the working principle behind it?!"

Lin Xiyue looked at this thing and thought it was so much fun!

“I engraved a magic circle on this crystal ball. It will automatically compress in small spaces and will be fine when you take it out. If it doesn’t compress automatically one day, just put energy into it; it will take any kind of energy. Let’s go, we should go. Otherwise, at your pace, we won’t reach the town you’ve been longing for before dark.”

Melos was somewhat exasperated to see that everything seemed to attract Lin Xiyue's attention.

"Oh, okay! Okay, okay. Let's go! ヾ(????)?"

Lin Xiyue hurriedly packed her things and followed in Molos's footsteps.

And so Lin Xiyue and Molos headed back in the direction they had come from, preparing to go to the nearest town.
