Is the person you sculpt as cute as me?

The audience's conversation proceeded quietly.

"He is willing to do his utmost to welcome the other survivor back. Rather, it's part of his obligation. Because the token held by 'Rebellion Against All Things'... has yet to be returned to the Old World, it's a huge hidden danger for us."

"The token—oh, you mean, the ticket to the second round."

The hunchbacked old man looked at Yu Man's answer with a sharp gaze, but he soon returned to his normal state and explained slowly.

"Just like you all need tickets and tokens to access various dungeons... it's actually the same when you reach here from your world. The tokens you get for the second round of the game for those who have completed the game are completely different. In short, 'Rebellion Against All Things' never brought it back, that's it."

"I see. So you also want the Triple Crown to come back."

"Who is the Triple Crown winner..."

"'Go against all things'—ah, this name is not easy for me to pronounce."

The hunchbacked old man nodded. "That's what happened. Last week, there weren't any agents like you. Now's a good opportunity. So, I came here this time to propose some terms to you."

"Didn't you beg Senior Cat to go back? How dare you put forward conditions to us?"

"Who is Cat Senior... Oh, the Triple Crown Champion..."

He was so distracted by these names that he couldn't give Yu Man a firm answer. "It involves the distribution of our power. After all, this is a miraculous feat spanning multiple worlds... It's a creation-level magic that builds reality from illusion, and I need your cooperation."

"Tell me about it."

"The human soul needs a body to contain it, and the body needs existence to anchor it into reality. We need you to create this existence."

"Can you be more straightforward?"

"How should I put it? It's like... proving its existence to the world... or something like that, letting souls call upon its existence and thus construct reality. It's like when sawing wood, you need to leave a tooth mark on the polished board so that the saw can work properly. Or when drilling a hole in polished steel, you need to first chisel a groove in it to provide friction... so that the drill bit won't slip."

Although the hunchbacked old man talked a lot, Yu Man didn't understand much.

But she has her correct understanding, and any unnecessary explanation would be a burden.

"Let the people of this world have the image of Cat Senior in their hearts."

"Yeah."

Instead of speaking casually, the hunchbacked old man continued to tell her the method -

"Write a book, create a fictional character, and make it live in people's hearts. Write a play, let the actors' skin carry her soul, and tell the world a story that is even more glorious than hers... Or compose a song, and use melody and words to compose her beauty... and so on."

Yu Man just raised his index finger, signaling this guy to be quiet.

She had to think of solutions while also enjoying the drama on stage.

——It’s interesting.

"I know you're not an eel, but you acted cute and had a unique charm... But you tore off the eel's face to scare me. That's really mean. I had no choice but to chop you..."

The deer drew his sword.

Towards the seemingly endless darkness on the stage, towards the scary ghost who plays Yu Man.

"Come on - "Indigo Landscape"!" In the darkness of panic and loneliness, she set off a blue of freedom.

Yu Man muttered that she was probably not cute normally... and thought that the way the deer called out the skill names was a bit childish.

Another viewer was surprised: "Huh... This skill - at this time? How did it fall into the hands of such an ordinary player? Weird..."

"Speaking of which." Yu Man looked at the blue scenery of the deer flying across the stage and said attentively, "That condition is everything, right? After you do it, Senior Cat will get what he wants."

"Correct."

In that case—Yu Man nodded seriously, which meant he accepted it.

Although she couldn't write books, write plays, or compose music...but other than that, the only thing she was good at was being able to do something similar. Coincidentally, that was also what Senior Cat was extremely good at.

So, she asked a new question.

"This week—is your competition format still the same?"

"Competition format?"

"Those competition systems disguised as professional competitions, attracting the attention of real-world souls to facilitate your actions."

The hunchbacked old man was a little confused, but he still told the truth: "After all the main city islands are open to navigation, the World Arena will open... The first trial cup competition will begin soon... Then there will be the Spring and Summer Tournaments hosted by humans - and the Winter Crystal League at the end of the year..."

"Oh, same, that's fine."

It seems that it is time for me to repay Senior Cat.

……

Fawn broke the curtain—her indigo dyed the blade, cutting through the boring script.

Then, she saw the unlovable yet extremely familiar face... and the sincere applause from her.

"Not bad."

"Eel, what kind of copy is this? It's so weird."

"Who knows? Maybe it's someone's hobby? But I took a lot of screenshots and shared them with you over breakfast... The housekeeping robot must be very happy to see its owner stole the show on stage..."

The hunchbacked old man beside Yu Man had disappeared, having completed his mission, handing the so-called reply letter to the customs clearance expert. Besides that, he had received enough information and responses from her, which was considered a complete success.

Now, the copy he borrowed has returned to its original state.

The two boring stage plays have ended, and it is time for both the audience and the actors to leave.

The door opens to the outside world.

"Speaking of which, little deer, when spring comes, maybe the Triple Crown will be sent home by me."

“No…”

"But there might be a cousin...a cousin...something like that, who would come to see me from time to time..."

"The Triple Crown has changed?"

Yu Man broke out in a cold sweat as he listened to Xiaolu's joke.

……

ps

(I'm still stuck, so I'll probably only update once in the next two days... I'll try to make up for it later, the transition period is so torturous.)

104. I just can’t do it

After that, there were no more strange accidents during this dungeon journey.

It's just a relatively simple, straight-line adventure.

There once was a city-state here, but their civilization has long been destroyed.

The only thing that remains is their former zoo.

The animals that escaped back then have now grown wildly and competed savagely, and coupled with some evil magic, many distortions have developed in the ruins of this city-state. The player's mission is to eliminate these distortions.

So it's very fun for the deer, as they can chop all the way.

There are no quests to complete, no side quests or NPCs to rescue. All you need to do is kill everything you see, living or dead. Also, place the treasure chest monster behind you and let it sniff out the hidden treasure chest along the way.

Yu Man was quite happy along the way.

She originally came here just to slack off. This dungeon was full of monsters, so her specialization points increased quite generously.

Besides that, while the deer was slaying monsters, she would hide behind him and read a book to pass the time. With ice magic, she could create a chair at any time. When she got tired of reading text, she could just look up and take a look at the bloody scenes of the deer for a change of pace. It was a top-notch experience.

Before I knew it, the copy had reached the middle.

A twisted entity composed of the ghosts of various animals, a large amount of negative emotions accumulated from various time periods, appeared on their way.

Yu Man was very sure that there were many ways to crack this thing based on the plot, and there was no need to fight... After all, there were some old, shiny plot items along the way that had a lot to do with the animals' lives.

However, it is a relief to kill them.

Estimating the difficulty of this battle, it should take about ten minutes...

Yu Man built a sturdy ice house with ice chairs and sat in the back to paddle safely.

"My current mentality should be enough to cope with the upcoming dragon songs..." She put away the Old World language textbook and took out the book titled "The Spoken Music of the Ice Prison Dragon, Parts 1 to 3".

Yu Man opened it and moved his finger to the page separated by a bookmark.

There, the first generation of Ice Dragons came to an end. Then, the brief spring ended, and the second generation of Ice Dragons returned with winter.

However, in stark contrast to the smooth progress of the copy, the page numbers here are difficult to read.

The strong magic power almost solidified into a solid, hindering Yu Man's hands from turning the pages.

“… This… Hey, I can’t turn it over.”

Not to mention collecting the quotations of the second generation Ice Prison Dragon, Yu Man tried to turn to the back to see the quotations of the current generation of Ice Prison Dragon... but encountered stronger resistance.

This resistance is somewhat similar to the difficulty an enchanter encounters when mediating his materials.

By the way, when I first got this book in the Little Shelter, which was the first stop for novices, it said "Enchanter level is not high enough", so I couldn't read it.

Yu Man quickly figured out the reason.

As recorded in the records I've read before, the first generation of Ice Hell Dragons were close to humans and even established the highest friendship with them, but ultimately fell into sorrow.

Therefore... the words it once said, when recorded, did not carry the feeling of "resistance".

Besides, the first generation of Ice Prison Dragons is very far away, and the magic power in those words has faded...

Yu Man was convinced of his own inference.

The second generation Ice Prison Dragon was extremely ferocious and rejected everything...

Therefore, even if the words wrapped in strong magic are recorded, the "resistance" contained in them cannot be easily overcome.

The third generation probably had similar reasons. Moreover, since they had just arrived in this world, the words they sang must have possessed immense magical power...

"The player mentioned earlier that the Enchanter was the middleman... It seems this situation also requires a middleman to interpret."

She closed the book with regret and put it back into her backpack carefully.

The bad news is that while pushing the plot, you will encounter new side quests. Not only that, it also requires you to upgrade your enchanter rank.

But the good news is that I had always intended to try my best to practice this.

When playing games, if you encounter two tasks that can be completed at the same time, you will feel that you have made a profit, and this time is no exception.

Yu Man is very optimistic. Unlike in the past, she has mastered the method of upgrading her enchanter rank.

All you have to do is follow the little deer's buttocks and run dungeons, constantly collecting elements from the environment, improving your affinity with various elements, and then constantly turning yourself into a medium...

Well, that's it.

As for the extra time? Just keep learning Old World Language. It'll come in handy.

Just like when everything started, Yu Man deciphered the meaning of the word "Shimlabakken" in the Old World language, and was therefore given the main quest.

that's it--

"Hey, I was the boss who asked Eel to play with me, but she ended up being my thug, and she's been acting like the boss all along... How can I play like that? Punish her and give her less breakfast."

Yu Man's slacking behavior became the topic of conversation during breakfast.

But she was complaining to the domestic robot in an unconcealable boastful tone.

"I'm not just slacking off. I'm protecting my boss's growth from behind." Yu Man also has his own explanation.

"Okay, okay... I had such a hard time beating the final boss, why don't you come?"

"Have you passed? Just tell me."

"It's over, it's over..."

"Is that the weakness I pointed out? Tell me more."

“That’s right…”

Yu Man hummed proudly and immediately took the food handed to her by the housekeeping robot respectfully. Then, she immediately put on a haughty face and challenged the boss again: "Did you get a perfect score in the dungeon? Keep talking."

"That's... that's a perfect score."

"Then how can you say I didn't come?"
