Is the person you sculpt as cute as me?

Yu Man had no choice but to remain silent.

She wanted to say that games are games and everyone should start from the same starting line...but that's not the case.

After all, she knew very well that this was a different world.

"So, we won't impose any restrictions on your behavior. Please do as you please." Lie remembered something and added, "Of course, don't let real money get involved in in-game trade."

Then - I'll just do whatever I want.

Yu Man turned this sentence into a thought and hid it quietly in his heart.

"Well, it seems we have reached a consensus. Then please write me a letter to tell me the cat's answer." Lie's expression relaxed a lot, and his divinity was tinged with laziness.

She left Yu Man a name and a place to live.

After Yu Man got the answer from Senior Cat, the letter with the reply would naturally be delivered.

The lie is: "Just think of it as a customer service feedback channel."

“…Oh, alright.”

"Then I wish you good luck on your journey."

After saying this, without giving Yu Man any more chance to get more information, she gently stretched out her hand and returned the gauze mist that symbolized sleep to Yu Man - blocking her clear vision.

When he woke up again, Yu Man had returned to the main city.

In Shimla Bakken, where the snow is falling, and in the bustling excitement of the players.

Yu Man went towards the sea.

085 Preparing for the June Explosion

The weather was not very good - but that's okay, it's always like this in Shimla Bakken.

Under the haze and snowfall, everyone was pale.

Yu Man has long been accustomed to all this.

But - she wanted to change all this.

So, she looked at the harbor carefully - it belonged to her.

Today, it is frozen in a thick and solid sea of ​​ice, where ships cannot dock and it cannot serve as a starting point for long voyages.

The port was built under the cliff, on the only flat area formed by a depression.

The once bustling port office, a two-story stone brick building, had long since been robbed and left in ruins, now so dilapidated and snow-covered that even homeless people wouldn't set foot there. The wooden embankment extending out to the sea was now rotten and had lost its original purpose.

Only the lighthouse located high up and accompanying it is in a relatively good condition now because of its use by the "Ghost World Chamber of Commerce".

"We need to repair the port... and the road to the main city..."

Yu Man finished talking to himself and tried to imagine it.

When it becomes bright and beautiful, it will attract all kinds of ships.

Not only the natives of the Old World, but also a huge number of players.

Especially in the real world during the summer...

An island with snow all year round will naturally become a place people want to set foot on, even if it's just in dreams, even if it's just in their hearts.

Well... now that we have the picture, let's make it happen.

Although Yu Man has a lot of things to do, he wants to prioritize the port right now.

It wasn't entirely because she coveted the huge profits after the port opened, but mainly because the opening of the port seemed to be the main storyline of Shimlabakken, and she was curious about what difficulties were involved.

Indeed, it is frozen.

But with a little magic, maybe third-order fire magic, the ice can be melted.

The further out you sail, the thinner the ice becomes.

Just like cars need snow tires in real life, ships have their own simple icebreaking capabilities. It can be said that a small amount of floating ice cannot hinder the flow of ships. When the waterway is mature and ships frequently pass through, ice will no longer accumulate.

So, Yu Man is not quite sure what is so difficult about this?

But her first stop was not the port, but the guild territory—which, of course, was currently also her territory.

A small number of players were playing in it, dueling, chatting, trading, decorating, or helping with farming...

In addition, Yago set up a stall at the door to welcome people who wanted to join.

There were quite a few people coming, and they lined up in an orderly manner, and all of them had written application letters for membership in their hands.

"...It seems like the process has been established and the rules are starting to take shape. That's good."

This means that the guild is on the right track.

Of course, Yago also called Ni Xiaolu, who was cute in appearance and well-behaved.

Although the person this guy sculpted was a girl, strangely enough, when she spoke with a male voice, people were not disgusted but rather convinced.

Ni Xiaolu would chat with everyone from time to time, help them to do business, or just liven up the atmosphere to make waiting in line less boring.

"——It's strange. Even though the guild territory is still in need of development, with more people, it doesn't feel lonely at all."

As he said this, Xiaolu walked towards Yu Man.

They had already communicated in the chat channel and agreed to meet here.

and--

"I've found it for you." Xiaolu also completed what Yu Man asked. "This guy is very smart."

Next to the fawn was a little girl who looked frightened but tried to put on a flattering smile.

She was wearing fairly thick clothes and it was obvious that she had just had a big meal, so her body was a little greasy.

These were the former labor force of the fishing village, along with the locals who came here to farm and make money.

The little girl reacted very strongly: "Boss... I can do anything... Thank you for giving us work and food!"

This is also the NPC that Yu Man wants to make good use of next.

"okay."

She was not good-looking, with skinny and dirty limbs.

It is this kind of people who can best convey sincerity, touch people's hearts, and understand disasters and suffering the most.

"What about the eel, next?"

"Repair the port and then choose a site to build a shipyard."

"What do I need to do?" asked the deer.

"Try your sword."

Hearing this, Xiaolu was very happy. Any player who got a powerful new weapon would want to try it out. Whether it was for hitting wood blocks, actual combat, or like now, for construction.

With the NPC little girl, the two of them came to the port.

The smell of the tide is stronger, and the dilapidated buildings are more obvious.

"Anyway, let's take a look at the ice first." Yu Man drew an area on the team map. "Please use your sixth-level sword to cut a square out of the ice and see how it goes."

"……it is good."

The deer never wastes time. He immediately draws out his sword and leaps forward while using his ultimate skill.

Whether it's drawing a sword or using a big move—

They all clearly added a strong sense of evil and a kind of frightening disaster to the area.

Even though Yu Man gently protected the little girl beside him, as a young native, she was still affected by the sword.

She hugged her head, squatted on the ground instinctively, and trembled constantly.

but--

The deer noticed this and raised the tip of the sword slightly with a hint of displeasure.

Suddenly, all evil followed the master's will and no longer dispersed within itself, but gathered at the sword's tip.

"After all, it was upgraded using familiar base materials... The weapon can be used smoothly... That's good." Yu Man breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that it was not in vain that she forged the sword.

And—cutting through the sea ice is much simpler than it looks.

The fawn galloped across the ice.

She didn't even deliberately use force. The sword simply moved forward with her steps, cutting through the ice. The lingering evil energy naturally penetrated deeply.

She ran in a circle along the square designed by Yu Mang, dragging the sword.

Just in time, the ultimate move ends.

Thus, an area about the same size as the senior high school oath-taking hall was cut out by her sword.

What happened next was due to Man Lai.

As she raised her staff and manipulated ice and water, she heard the little girl next to her scream "It's so cold".

Then, Yu Man moved the huge piece of ice that had been cut completely to the ice next to it and stacked it.

Of course, this scene was so shocking that it attracted all the attention along the coast.

People don’t know who did it or why, they just know that it happened and overturned reality.

"Eel, this sword is much, much sharper..."

"That's good."

The fawn stood by the deep pit left behind, overlooking the frightened fish in it.

She roughly understood what Yu Man was thinking about; it was nothing more than investigating the harbor's conditions. For example, how long would it take for it to freeze over again, and what would happen after it did? With the results of these observations, she could determine the cost of opening the harbor.

This should take a long time to observe, right? Why not take this opportunity to play another dungeon together...

but--

Something is wrong.

"Hmm?" Yu Man hummed in confusion first.

Then they heard an even stronger sound of wind.

By the time they realized the weather had taken a turn for the worse, their vision was already blurred and darkness enveloped the sky and the earth.

And then—the blizzard arrived.

"...What's going on." Yu Man felt that this was not a simple change in the weather, but was accompanied by magical power.

"what--"

The deer felt something, but the next second, she found that her feet were no longer in the same place.

A blizzard came from the sky and roared from the other side of the sea.

The power of the wind can even blow up a girl like her.

Floating in the air, she was not panicked. She just swung her sword, cutting through the sweeping wind, opening up a path for herself in the wind, and took the opportunity to run back to the coast.

"You are so good at fighting?" Yu Man couldn't help but type a compliment.

"hey-hey."

But Yu Man was not feeling well either. The harshness of the blizzard made her gasp in amazement.

If I hadn't used magic to block it in time, I would probably have floated into the sky... Although that would have been very interesting, the NPC little girl next to me would probably have been scared to death.

The blizzard battered the coast.

But Yu Man discovered that it did not sweep onto the island too much, but instead descended towards their location?

Do not--

To be precise, it was the blank space where a large piece of ice had just been cut off.

"...It...it is filling the gap in the ice?!" Yu Man understood in an instant and couldn't help but shout out.
