Is the person you sculpt as cute as me?

And because of its master's wish, it remains an icy staff, carrying the same source of magic.

"...I see." So, in Shimlabakken's understanding, magicians used spellbooks...not staffs? This did align with some ancient copies.

Yu Man accepted this, and it was okay.

At least the appearance is unique, and uniqueness is good, and it doesn't affect performance anyway.

After confirming that it was now a sixth-level weapon, Yu Man then checked the skills it possessed, which was the key.

The basic skills such as "Ice Cone", "Local Snowfall", "Freeze, Freeze", and "Ice Shaping" are all there, so there is no problem.

In addition, there are specialization points to reach a new level, which means advanced skills beyond the novice level.

Ice Coffin

“…Finally.”

He let out a long sigh and finally smiled.

This skill is the core of the Frost Staff series, creating an invincible ice coffin that can seal enemies, or yourself or your teammates, within. This invincibility is both literal and systemic, granting unconditional immunity to any damage.

Although, it only lasts for two seconds.

Inside the Ice Coffin, either the enemy is unconditionally controlled for two seconds, or a teammate can survive for two more seconds, avoiding significant damage. Although the cooldown is long, it can indeed change the course of battle and is quite important.

"good good good good."

as well as--

This weapon... no, this magic book, as a "Soul Weapon", is endowed with additional skills.

"Retaining Time"

A blank description, yet it contains some incomprehensible power.

Yu Man wanted to test it carefully... but she was worried that it might cause some big problems. An intuitive uneasiness merged into her soul along with this skill... She would test it after returning to the guild territory.

Now, everything that needed to be done has been resolved.

Yu Man held the magic book and walked towards Miss World Tree.

"Thank you for your help."

"Well, you're welcome, because you brought me some rare fun in these long and boring days."

"If you need my help in the future, I will lend it to you."

Hearing Yu Man say this, she smiled happily, but soon became shy, as if feeling embarrassed. In the end, she said nothing more, but succumbed to the shyness and quietly melted away.

Only the blue scenery in the sky is left, quietly embracing Yu Man.

……

Being alone doesn't feel so bad.

But the deer quickly rejected this idea because he was not like that.

In reality, she was lying on the bed in her room, and Yu Man was on the sofa, just like yesterday. Even though they were quite far away in the game, he could find her by just taking off his device and going down two flights of stairs.

The wonderful sense of fulfillment turned the loneliness caused by the temporary absence into almond slices on the dessert.

Perhaps the road ahead was still long, and she suddenly thought of something on the way.

So far, the most classic setting in the game - teleportation! Why is it not here yet?

Logically speaking, the illegal areas would have to be reached by walking... She could understand that, after all, they had to provide content for PVP players.

But why weren't there convenient teleportation to and from the main city in those insignificant safe areas, like the guild territory? Xiaolu didn't mind having to walk, or even ride a mount in the future, for commuting. She actually felt that it felt more like another world, and it was very satisfying.

It was just a question floating in the deer's mind.

The point is – it’s a good question.

It is very suitable to be used as a topic to disturb her who is far away.

With this little thought in mind, Xiaolu opened the friend interface and skillfully found the only person in the list. He smiled, carefully considered his words, and typed briskly.

"Brother, can I ask you a question? Is that convenient?"

“…Hmm? Ah?”

OK, got a reply...

He shouldn't be perfunctory, nor should he feel annoyed.

Otherwise, there should be a "?".

But "Hmm?" represents gentleness and kindness, and the added "Huh?" expresses a little confusion, and at the same time expresses that you have time to type an extra word, proving that you are not very busy... Overall, this is a very good reply.

But, it’s not just that.

Yu Man seemed to feel that his reply was too simple, and before Xiaolu finished typing, he actually sent another reply.

"Are you having trouble? I've taken care of it."

"No, no!" Xiaolu's fingers flew with joy. "It just suddenly occurred to me that there doesn't seem to be anything like teleportation in the old world. There are no portals, teleportation stones, or teleportation spells..."

Yu Man paused for a moment before replying, "Not really. The official website says it will be available later, but there are significant restrictions."

"I see...it's quite restrictive."

"Well, otherwise the trade system will be scrapped, and the illegal maritime zone content will also be scrapped, but it will still provide some convenience for players. Generally speaking, this also depends on the player's adventurer profession to create. After the guild territory's mounts are raised, everyone will also have a good movement speed. Don't worry about these problems... The official website kindly explained this to us."

Xiaolu felt very happy when he saw a long string of words sent to him.

She studied the content carefully, word by word, line by line, and she could indeed understand the setting.

If players could teleport anywhere in the world, trade would cease to exist. Without the profits derived from resource, information, or geographic differences, everyone would enter a single global market. Furthermore, the game's signature all-inclusive loot system would obviously lose its excitement due to safe teleportation.

"I see……"

"Well, is there anything else you want to ask?"

Xiaolu had actually prepared many topics for such moments, such as: "What do you want to buy for the house? I'll help you get it."

"Huh? When the president transfers it, we'll quit the guild. There's no point in buying a room now... I could start a new guild, or continue as a lone wolf, but those are things we can consider after the port opens. I want to get a small territory for dungeons and such. Territory must be owned by the guild, so there's really no need to buy anything now."

Another bunch of words...

The strange thing is that the deer seems to be able to hear Yu Man talking even though he is not around.

But the deer smiled happily: "I mean, the room in reality."

"Ah?" It seemed as if he could see her face.

"A computer, a dressing table, a cloakroom, a desk, a bookcase, or something... maybe some fitness equipment. That guest room has never been used before, there's nothing in it. Now that we've welcomed you, we have to decorate it, right?"

Xiaolu continued typing.

"Unlike this world, a real guild can't just quit so easily, right?"

"...I feel like I have everything. I don't need it...No, I don't want anything."

"Well, okay, we'll buy more when we need it."

"Reasonable."

As if to avoid being confused, Yu Man changed the subject: "How is the progress of the plot?"

Fortunately, the deer’s time was not wasted.

She had already completed her investigation of the main city, and the results were quite good. She was about to go to the fishing village to conduct another part of the investigation, and was already on her way. It was for this reason that she suddenly thought of teleporting.

"I did research quite a bit in the records library at the Lord's Mansion."

"Okay, so next we're heading to the guild territory?"

"Well, everyone in the fishing village works here, so I went straight to the guild territory to investigate." The deer, of course, didn't add a greeting. "What about the eels? How's the progress?"

After a moment's silence, Yu Man replied, "It's better than expected. I've gained an incredible new skill. I'm planning to test it out in the guild territory."

Huh? Xiaolu was stunned. Could he just use a new skill? Could he have secretly gone to a dungeon to develop his skills?

093 Duel

The first to arrive was the little deer.

As soon as she approached the guild territory, she felt that the situation was a little different from before.

Whether it was the hired locals or the players in the guild, they all gathered in the same place, as if there was some kind of parade-like excitement to be had, exuding an atmosphere full of fun.

"What's wrong?" The deer quickened its pace and moved closer.

"We have started the breeding industry!" Someone introduced it this way.

The deer was a little interested.

There was no need to squeeze through the crowd, but he simply tiptoed and leaped to the top of the roof.

Just away from the people, she looked down at the latest happenings in the guild territory.

There was a litter of little animals whose names I couldn't remember, and they were being held in Yago's arms.

It’s unclear whether these little guys came out of eggs or were born wanting to drink milk, but they already have furry bodies and colorful colors, and each one has a different printing plan.

They instinctively stretch their limbs and use their sharp claws to explore the world.

They instinctively howled one after another.

Yago's broad body embraced them all, laughing non-stop and kissing each one, as if to draw strength from their small bodies...

"...Where did you get the cub?" Xiaolu couldn't help but ask in the guild typing.

"The parents of these cubs lost a battle for territory with other beasts in the forest, and were rescued by our expedition team. A player with a relevant adventurer class suggested raising them, so we brought them back."

After reading Brother Teng's explanation, Xiaolu finally understood why everyone gathered here.

I wanted to see how animal husbandry is implemented in the game, and I also wanted to see some cute baby animals...

"This game is so exaggerated. These imaginary animals are so detailed and impeccable..."

"For example, this fur... and this kind of reaction and sounds to the outside world that don't exist in reality..."

"No, no, no, what's more shocking is probably the difference between males and females, right? Look..."

"Get down."

Everyone was chatting with each other, and Xiaolu couldn't help but smile foolishly along with the atmosphere.

Thus, Yago was finally deprived of his power by a revolution initiated by others, and his cubs were taken away from him. They were divided up among the members, and when the NPC children from the fishing village hired to work wanted to get close, no one shook their head and refused, and they just shared the cubs equally.

Perhaps for this reason, no one needed to urge everyone and everyone worked together to donate materials.

Soon, the basic construction of the breeding shed was completed.

It was also at this time——

"Hey, a nest of thief pelicans..."

Yu Man arrived at the guild territory, and with a little surprise, he smelled what everyone was watching from the smell.

She certainly recognized this animal, and when it grew up, it could be tamed to make a very badass mount.

They can carry very little weight, are not at all hardy, and are very slow.

However, they have an innate passive skill called "Steal," making them very good at stealing all kinds of things from their owners, enemies, and passersby. Therefore, almost no one uses this type of mount, except for those who use it for pranks to create some show effects.

However, according to the legendary story exploration guild, Meow's Nest, deep exploration revealed that the skills of this animal can be learned, which triggered a large-scale taming trend of thief pelicans, but no one has ever obtained this skill.

Instead, it triggered endless thefts throughout the Old World...

Yu Man remembered it very clearly; she could smell the scent in the air at that time.

"So this kind of animal also exists in Shimla Bakken..."

"Coming?"

"Well, here we come."

Yu Man was talking to himself when he looked up and saw her sitting on the eaves.

But in Xiaolu's eyes, Yu Man's image has changed a lot.
