Is the person you sculpt as cute as me?

Since the Ice Dragon's goal is to seal off Shimlabakken, it will not allow the port to operate.

Now it's a simple frozen sea, and then there will be endless blizzards or even other attacks.

So, whether you want to walk across the ice sea or build a port on the ice, it means handing your life over to the enemy.

"...Then...isn't this a dead end?"

"Yeah...that's why it's so difficult." Yu Man sighed sincerely.

Now, let alone opening the port early and being the first to establish world trade... it is impossible to even step out of Shimla Bakken.

If you think about it carefully, there may be some incorrect plot advancement here.

Previously, the "Underworld Chamber of Commerce" was able to travel here by relying on their ability to travel to another dimension. I'm afraid that was the key to cracking the main plot, but I didn't make good use of it...

Because Yu Man didn't expect that the second round would be so shameless.

Damn it, they actually secretly changed the conditions for opening the island port, making it so difficult and complicated...

But Yu Man gently touched Xiaolu's shoulder, infecting her with calmness and composure, trying to comfort her: "It's okay, we won't be trapped on this island forever, it's just that the early progress has been a little delayed."

There will always be normal overseas players who can grow rapidly.

They will also want world trade and want to connect islands around the world to unlock various content.

Therefore, once the players discover the predicament of Shimlabakken, they will undoubtedly unite and make every effort to overcome it.

This is the main line that must be broken, the only difference is the length of time and who created it.

Yu Man sat back in his chair and looked out at the still raging blizzard.

But she had no intention of handing her fate over to others.

……

Yu Man temporarily put aside the main storyline and the opening of the port.

Because this is not something that can be completed in one day, and the issue of shipbuilding is still a blank, there is no need to stop.

The difference is that she has a purpose, and everything will serve it.

"It's always a good idea to improve your combat capabilities first... Will this thing come in handy?"

Muttering this, Yu Man took out the strange item he got when he met the game administrator "Lie".

Daily Brew

A glass test tube filled with a strange liquid.

Anyway, there's a blizzard raging outside, and the players can't go out and have nothing to do... why not think about this now?

According to the instructions, you should drink it every day, and after fourteen days, a surprise will appear...

Okay, I'll take this one! Yu Man decided to drink it.

Drink it yourself!

But it’s not for drinking by myself.

She stretched out her right hand, and the single glove covering her skin and five fingers was whiter and more beautiful than the snow in the sky.

Pairs of gloves

Yu Man paid a huge amount of magic power to activate the skill hidden in it: "Lively".

The target of the skill is oneself.

This skill is very useful, creating a mirror image of the selected target. For her, it is very handy and helpful in various situations, especially now.

The magic begins to change reality.

It was like looking in a mirror, and the person in the mirror walked out - Yu Man's own mirror image was born before her eyes.

The witch's hat was tall and pointed upwards, and she was wearing a snow-white robe embroidered with intricate and beautiful magic symbols.

Even though the clothes are loose and long, you can still see the slim figure.

The already well-proportioned legs were clad in a pair of practical little leather boots, which made them look even longer and more slender, allowing the magician to go anywhere.

"Oh my god, two eels."

"Hey, brother, look, this guy is so cute."

The little deer didn't dare to respond, but he really thought so in his heart.

Yu Man's face is somewhere between pretty and cute, but the slightly angular face gives this divine beauty more heartiness.

The blue eyes like the clear sky and the ear clips of the same color give people a little warmth in this winter snow.

Oh, it's so beautiful - I really don't want to let it go...

But Yu Man did it anyway.

She reached out her hand, gently lifted the chin of her other self, pinched her soft cheeks, and squeezed open her bright red lips.

Then, take that failed, weird-looking potion—

Poured it in.

The glass touched her neat and white teeth gently, making a slight sound that was very pleasant to the ear.

But it was quickly overshadowed——

"--boom!"

The other Yu Man exploded, like a balloon inflated to its limit.

"..."

"..."

The little deer looked on in astonishment, as if witnessing the most desperate scene in the world.

Yu Man, who survived, looked at the flying magic fragments and muttered, "Sure enough, there is a ghost," but then regretted, "I should have given it to the enemy..."

But no matter what, she found a way to consume the "Daily Brew" safely, and it seems that she will see a surprise in fourteen days.

087·Sinking into the Depths (Settling to Number One)

The blizzard lasted for half an hour before the world gradually regained its light.

Yu Man, who took the opportunity to learn the old world language, extinguished the candlelight and looked out the window.

"Same as always," she said softly.

"I cut such a large piece of ice, and it was repaired just like that..." The deer said in a complicated tone.

Penetrating the dark clouds and snow, a faint light fell on the icy sea.

It is no longer transparent and clear, but it is as hard and deep as ever, stretching to the far end.

The permafrost sea still seals off Shimla Bakken.

"...It seems that the shipyard needs to slow down as well."

"Well, then I'll let this kid go home first."

Yu Man originally asked Xiaolu to find a clever NPC little girl because he wanted to use her identity to recruit more labor.

After being hired by the player, even a little girl with such a miserable life can regain her vitality and have enough food and clothing.

——Such stories will spread in Shimla Bakken and gradually replenish the manpower for Yuman’s shipyard.

This was what she had originally planned.

However, this ice sea is impenetrable and shipyards are meaningless.

She closed the book and stopped learning Old World.

Because his heartstrings were plucked again, he instinctively wanted to tackle this difficult main plot.

“There are three ways.”

One is to deal with the ice dragon...

However, the opponent is an eighth-level monster with almost infinite life, the embodiment of winter.

The current Shimlabakken... no, even if all the foreigners in the world united together, they would probably not be able to defeat him.

Obviously, this is definitely not the right path for the main storyline.

"should be……"

Yu Man was typing, using the text system to organize his thoughts.

The ice dragon's mechanism was too exaggerated, and she had always suspected that there was a way to restrain it, or a way to skip classes.

But no one knows about the first round, not even Senior Cat’s first round.

In all the history she knew, the solution to the ice dragon was to pile up human lives and excess combat power.

Fight an exaggerated war of attrition. Wearing down the opponent's almost infinite health bar is tantamount to going against nature itself.

Now, that became Yu Man's problem.

"...I feel like...there should be some plot to conquer, or...some kind of deal to make with it..."

Yu Man muttered to herself, her intuition in this regard was always accurate.

In this regard, we should start from the root cause.

Why did the dragon take action and interfere with this island?

——What angered it?

These hidden plots must not appear out of thin air, but must have a basis to follow...

Well, I need to go to the main city to check if there's any relevant history. Besides that, I should also ask the elderly people in the harbor fishing village. They've lived here and witnessed all the changes...

After making up her mind, Yu Man planned to get up and investigate - but she found that she was not alone.

Like a child who didn't want to disturb his senior year review, Xiaolu sat next to Yu Man, worried and concerned.

"...I have some clues. Don't worry too much." Yu Man thought for a moment, then typed a message to Xiaolu, "Can you help me investigate these two? See if there are any plot clues related to the Ice Dragon."

"Am I up to the task?"

"Aren't travelers always talkative and humorous?"

"Well, okay!" Xiaolu showed a good expression, just like every time she held the sword, she seemed trustworthy.

Since someone is helping him share the strategy, then... Yu Man wants to investigate another route.

Although the enemies are extremely strong, this is the main mission of the novice main city island after all. Obviously, there are some clues.

She—no, they.

The night before, everyone had indeed witnessed the ship of the "Ghost World Chamber of Commerce" approach... and then sail away with many people on board.

Essentially, this was a huge hint that it was possible to navigate the ice.

Therefore, there must be more than one way to tackle the main storyline of opening the port.

Yu Man plans to do both.

But before that—

——"Great, great, time to get up and go to school. I'm going to tell my classmates about this snowstorm. It's so fucking awesome."

Someone said this in the bustling guild hall.

Everyone instinctively looked at the system time and found that it was already 6:30 in the morning... Indeed, it was the school time for domestic students.

The office workers breathed a sigh of relief, as the arduous commuting days were not yet approaching. The unemployed, however, were unconcerned, enjoying themselves for a while longer and eating breakfast and lunch together.

Such an atmosphere suddenly spread.

Students want to grow up quickly, and office workers dream of financial freedom.

The unemployed have either completed their life or given up on it.

But no matter what, everyone just sighs about the beauty of getting enough sleep.
