The mascot of the wishing shop is a cat.

Six hours later.

Finally, in the afternoon, Lin Xiyue saw the edge of the town in this world—a towering city wall.

The city wall had no visible seams, as if it were forged from a single piece of stone. Under the sunlight, the wall gleamed with a faint bluish light. Lin Xiyue glanced over and noticed that this bluish light wasn't constant, but rather flickered slightly in a regular pattern.

"How...how do we get in?!" Σ(⊙▽⊙“a)

Lin Xiyue looked at the road, which stretched all the way into the city wall, but there were no doors or doorways or anything like that.

It's like when you're playing with building blocks, you just put a wall down without considering whether a person can fit inside, since it's just a toy anyway.

"Sigh, I've been teaching you how to see energy all this way, haven't you learned it yet?"

Meros sighed and said this.

Yes, in those six hours or so. Along the way, Moros and Lin Xiyue didn't waste any time, teaching each other how to use energy, how to sense it, and other common knowledge among different races.

This not only makes Lin Xiyue less conspicuous among the alien races, making things easier for her, but it can even improve her energy management skills. For example, it can make her energy, which could originally only be used once, more durable through subtle manipulation, allowing her to use her abilities more frequently.

"Ah, I've got it! I've got it! Oh, I get it! I'll try it out first. (＜ゝw?)☆"

Lin Xiyue didn't react at first, then she remembered that she was now using energy to sense the flow of energy.

Using the techniques she had learned along the way, she allowed the energy to cover her eyes evenly and thinly, and then she opened her eyes—the world was completely different.

Lin Xiyue had already seen many of the energy flows in the surrounding trees and flowers along the way, so her attention was now focused on the city wall in front of her.

What appeared to be a seamless wall to the naked eye now revealed numerous energy flows of varying lengths, some even disconnected from each other.

Based on the previous explanation on the road to Meros, this is actually the most crude way of building a city wall.

As Lin Xiyue approached the city wall, she could see more clearly the denser flow of energy at the section where it intersected with the road. This energy flow formed a massive city gate. At the convergence point of all the energy at this gate, a button-like object was clearly visible.

"Hmm, should we input energy into this?"

Lin Xiyue turned back to ask Molos with some uncertainty.

"Okay, go ahead and give it a try."

After receiving confirmation from Meros, Lin Xiyue reached for the button.

"Om-"

After a buzzing sound, the section of the city wall with the densest energy disappeared like a bubble before Lin Xiyue's eyes.

In less than a minute, only one entrance, resembling a doorway, remained.

"Let's go in. You did a great job."

Moros praised Lin Xiyue, then stepped forward, took her hand, and led her into the city before them, bathed in the afternoon sunlight.

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

The city was called Feixi City, according to the first person they met after entering.

Its entire structure was built using the same methods as city walls, and the materials used were also the same. So, if you looked at it with the naked eye, you might think that the city was carved out of a single piece of stone.

In the city, there are "people" of all sizes and even different shapes. The reason for the quotation marks is that some of these "people" don't even have a human form.

Of course, this also aligns more with Lin Xiyue's stereotypical impression of other races. Moros is still the only other race she knows with a perfect human form. Oh, Lin Xiyue only found this out after she unexpectedly arrived here.

Hmm... I'll write this down! I'll settle the score with him when I get back! (▼he▼メ)

Some of these people are so numerous that it's hard to tell how many there are with the naked eye, but with the new method of learning, it becomes easy to see how many there are, and you can even subtly sense their emotions.

Because the alien race revered round and curved shapes, they had strict requirements for the appearance of these houses. There were rules about what level of rank allowed for what degree of curvature, and how much curvature was permitted. Of course, there were no restrictions on the interior; you could make everything spherical if you liked.

However, the price of curved furniture is quite high, and most families really can't afford it.

On the main street of the city, which can be described as a commercial street, Lin Xiyue and Mo Luosi began their shopping.

Moros and Lin Xiyue strolled around the streets twice, allowing Lin Xiyue to practice what she had learned along the way and to get used to seeing things from this perspective.

"So, you've walked around twice now, what are your thoughts?"

Perhaps because this was Melos's first time teaching, he was very interested in Lin Xiyue's learning progress and would ask her questions from time to time along the way.

"Well, how should I put it? No wonder you reacted so strongly when you saw me before. Now that I've learned how to do it, I can tell at a glance that we're like clones. Other people on the road may look similar to me because they don't even have a human form, but their energy flow is very different."

Lin Xiyue thought for a while and sighed.

"Speaking of which, since other people see us as essentially the same person, wouldn't that make people think there's something wrong with us?"

Lin Xiyue had used up too much energy on the way, and she was already too tired to walk. After all, she had only learned this method not long ago, so she certainly couldn't find the most energy-efficient method right away.

"No, because those of higher-level alien races can create clones, so it would actually be safer for you. Look, even when we talk directly like this, they don't dare to come closer to listen."

Melos noticed that Lin Xiyue was having trouble walking, so he pulled her to a nearby chair to rest.

"Hmm, the hierarchy here is way too strict. I'm just curious, what would happen if I were a low-level alien race and I came to eavesdrop on your conversation?"

Lin Xiyue sat in the chair, rubbing her legs and waist, which were already a little sore.

"Generally speaking, they wouldn't dare. If they really did, the best outcome would be for them to be directly devoured by a higher power."

Meros thought for a moment and then said.

"Huh?! But aren't there laws or regulations in towns? How can this be allowed? That's too dangerous!"

Lin Xiyue never expected it to be so dangerous.
