The little deer ate his breakfast as a matter of course, complaining about burning his tongue, but he kept talking while breathing in the hot air.
"But I've been brooding and struggling for so long, and you glanced up and immediately pointed out the key to the problem... It feels like... I don't feel involved... You see, this is also a kind of absence of your presence, right?"
"Wow... a sixteen-year-old girl? Her logic is so confusing?"
"Well—aren't you, too?"
Am I? Maybe...well, she is.
Yu Man lowered her head and ate breakfast. Today's breakfast was not Cantonese style, but something the housekeeping robot called "Kaymak", which was drizzled with sweet honey and served with seasoned corn puree and homemade bacon slices. The strong milky aroma and satisfaction had been permeating Yu Man since early in the morning.
A domestic robot is truly the ultimate luxury item. It must possess a vast library of recipes from around the world and across all cultures, ensuring their authentic cooking. Ask it to cook anything from ancient Roman cuisine to Peruvian cuisine—it's likely it could easily pull it off.
And—she’s also a wonderful listener.
"So, how are your treasure chests doing?" the housekeeping robot asked. "After defeating the boss at the end of a level, you'll get a reward, right?"
This made the atmosphere awkward for a moment.
"Hey, my hands are dirty."
"Ugh……"
Only Senior Cat, who was also enjoying his meal, chuckled secretly.
The housekeeping robot turned to Yu Man and asked, "So, did you also achieve what you wished for in your dungeon journey?"
"Well, I collected the environment, and it's quite compatible... That dungeon is filled with many unusual magical elements. I spent some time collecting them all and got quite a few fifth-level media. It's quite something."
Although the elemental attributes are incomplete, the class is high enough.
Moreover, it also increased the progress of the enchanter's upgrade, which is enough to prove that this is the right way.
"Did you two just play one dungeon all night?" she asked again.
What I got was another stiff atmosphere. Fortunately, the food on the plate was good enough...
As mentioned before, this dungeon was very unlucky and I was unable to get the dungeon token. Not to mention the sixth level, I didn't even get the fifth level... I only got a fourth level treasure map.
The little deer muttered, "So we went to look for the treasure map... When we were done it was already daybreak, so we came back for dinner."
"How was the harvest?"
"Oh," Xiaolu sighed and shook her head, looking like a sympathetic saint. "It's terrible. We only opened the rainbow box and the purple box... It took two people two trips to empty them. I'm so tired... It's really miserable, tsk tsk tsk."
The more Xiaolu spoke, the more he could not contain the light in his eyes and the smile on his lips.
Yu Man was too embarrassed to show off like that, so she simply replied, "The profits are very generous, and the dungeon has been renewed. I plan to play all day today."
The concise and clear answer even touched the domestic robot.
"Hey, can you please switch with her—" he pointed at Xiaolu with disdain, "and become my wife? You want me to throw away this difficult young lady? Even chatting with her is so twisted..."
"That's because she's very happy." Yu Man explained with a smile.
"Hey, if you're happy, why not just say it honestly?"
"Sometimes... I just can't do it."
Yu Man's words unconsciously became more frank.
"Especially with family, who we spend every day together and are incredibly familiar with, we often find ourselves at a loss as to how to get along properly. Because we know each other so well, the shells we use to deal with society and strangers shouldn't apply here..."
The table stopped, everyone listening to Yu Man's words.
She wanted to stop there - but since everyone was listening, she just went on.
"No one has taught them how to express their feelings sincerely and without flaws. So when they're with their families, the way they express their emotions...can seem strange and distorted to adults. We just need to understand and accept it...rather than try to correct it."
Yu Man looked at Xiaolu: "And all the dislike your man shows towards you...is actually a way of expressing his affection for you."
"I, I know! I know... well. But don't tell it out loud... it's so embarrassing." Her voice became smaller and smaller.
"Well, that's good." That's good.
After finishing the delicious food in the bowl, Yu Man wiped his mouth, but his heart was empty and he was thinking.
I will never have such normal family affection in my life.
105·Edit
The weather was bad today, so they started their journey to the old world early.
The experience now is no longer about leaving reality to come to the game... but about arriving in another reality.
The soul has adapted to this place very well, which makes Yu Man feel familiar and fresh.
In Himlabakken, where fine snow drifts, the unmelted sea of ice blocks all ships, and the newly born Ice Prison Dragon...
These stories are still waiting here.
and also--
"Okay, copy the copy!"
These spirited and bold words came from her, who went offline with him and went online with him.
"Master Eel, just go for it! I'm feeling pretty cocky right now, and I feel like I can easily clear a level 6 dungeon solo."
"So awesome?" Yu Man was just about to chat for a few minutes.
But before that, she received a private message...it was Yago.
"Master Eel, why are you logging in so early today?" It's quite rare.
This middle-aged man has been very busy recently recruiting people, training new ones, organizing activities, increasing cohesion, helping Yu Man manage the workshop... and so on. He hasn't been involved with them for a while.
"Yage isn't at work?" Yu Man asked back.
"No, it's the weekend."
Really? Weekend... oh, it means a day off.
Yu Man has a very light concept of weekends, because the logic of time cannot restrain the uninhibited free soul.
Before Ya Ge could speak, Yu Man thought of something and explained it immediately.
"The cooldown period for the Guild Master's transfer is still one day, so don't worry."
"I'm definitely not worried about that. It's fine right now. I wanted to talk to you about the future. First of all, you must leave the guild, right?"
"Sure." Yu Man thought for a moment and then added, "Even if we leave, we're still our own people. Brother Ya, don't worry. If there's anything, call each other. No ambiguity."
"Okay! That's fine! But I want to say... my daughter is also playing this game."
"What?" Was there really such a daughter? Wasn't this just a figment of Yago's imagination?
"But it's a pity that she didn't randomly come to Shimlabakken. 'Xiankan' is now a large guild with a mixed crowd. She's a girl in her teens, and as the guild leader's daughter... she might not be suitable to join..."
"I understand. Avoid suspicion." Yu Man was quite understanding.
Unlike guilds in normal games, the current "Old World" has become the focus of the world where any small movement can make the news.
Moreover, it is just beginning its upward trend.
Later, as the second batch of devices go on sale, the popularity of this game will grow exponentially.
After all, watching others play and stepping into a different world yourself... these are two different experiences.
Therefore, Xiankan, which carries the golden signboard of "No. 1 Guild", is not just a simple group of family and friends.
If anything, it's more appropriate to think of it as a business, or some kind of special, serious organization. It's normal for the president to be concerned about his daughter's gaming experience.
Yago was straightforward: "She's very good at games. Can she come play with you guys when the time comes?"
"...Ah this."
"It seems not? I think it's quite suitable."
Yago knew very well that although Eel always called himself a brother, his words and deeds had no flaws so far...but at least, Jiandui Lulu was a little girl in her teens, exactly the same type as his own daughter.
Moreover, both Yu Man and Jiandui Lulu have no problems with their character, and their behavior is unusually normal.
It's a better place to be than joining a large guild.
Yu Man pondered the matter for a moment and tried to explain, "It's not impossible. The main thing is that our content and progress are slightly faster than the average person. If I bring in newcomers, they won't be able to keep up and won't have a good experience."
"That's fine! She's doing great! She inherited my bloodline! Go train with you guys for a bit, then come back to me as a master. We'll go into battle, father and son! Chop down all those stupid foreigners."
"Not a daughter?"
"Women don't give way to men!"
Fine, fine, you can say whatever you want, as long as the meaning is conveyed. Yu Man didn't care about it anymore, but unfortunately, since they were not in Shimla Bakken, it would take a long time for them to play together anyway.
Yago suddenly had a new idea: "Of course! I won't let you take on new people for nothing. Just think of it as me enrolling my daughter in a class, and I'll pay the tuition... How about this amount?"
Immediately afterwards, Yago gave Yu Man a figure that shocked her. He could even go to a prestigious school in England that specializes in defrauding wealthy individuals... What on earth was this guy planning?
"Speaking of which, what adventurer profession did your daughter choose?"
"Shipbuilder—this is our family's old trade. Even in this world, we must not forget our roots."
A shipwright? It seems possible, if all goes well.
Just like that, Yu Man took the job, which made Yago breathe a sigh of relief. It wasn't because of the money, but Yu Man felt that Yago was a good man. When the port opened, guiding the newcomers would also help him accumulate blessings. Who knows, the newcomers might be lucky enough to open a rainbow box?
After finally finishing the chat, Yu Man looked up and saw Xiaolu's long-awaited face.
"Comrade Eel, a copy?"
"Oh, start!"
"Okay, let's fight until tomorrow morning!"
Fortunately, there was no obstruction this time.
……
Xiaolu said he was going to play until tomorrow morning, but actually he was already starting to feel tired after playing three cards in a row, and that was even after he logged off to have lunch and take a break.
She wanted to hold on, but was eventually stopped by Yu Man.
It’s not because the latter is shameless enough to continue to take advantage of the situation, but because he needs some time to digest the gains.
"reward?"
"Well, the Enchanter is almost reaching the fourth level." This is Yu Man's most important issue at the moment. "I want to find a place to concentrate on pushing myself. You see, I'm always worried about your safety in the dungeon, and it will keep distracting me."
Hearing her sincere words, the tiredness on Xiaolu's face immediately disappeared.
His eyes were shining again, as if they could be directly embedded in the sky to pretend the sun.
"So, wait until I've digested the results—then I'll do the battle, and you can just follow behind."
"...Okay." Of course, Xiaolu didn't forget to add, "I'm also very worried about your safety."
"What's there to worry about?" Yu Man really didn't understand. He was so strong now, how could he lose in a small fifth or sixth level single-player dungeon.
Just like that—they first went to the main city and stored all the copy proceeds in the warehouse.
Of course, we need to take inventory.
With the high-intensity dungeons of the past two days, plus an unexpected treasure map surprise, the inventory here has become abundant again.
There are a lot of materials piled up inside, and the total amount is sufficient. It should be able to barely pull a workshop directly to the fourth level. It can start to benefit the public directly in the main city and collect a little monopoly tax... to accumulate more and more.
However, the sixth-level equipment that Yu Man wanted...is still missing.
There's no other way, this is inherently difficult. One can only hope for a lucky rainbow chest in a fifth-tier dungeon, or a surprise in a sixth or seventh-tier dungeon.
"How is it? How close are we to challenging the Ice Dragon?" asked the deer.
"Every step forward means we are closer."
"I see, that means we're still a long way off..." Her tone was slightly down, but then she brightened up. "It's okay. We now have a ticket to the sixth-tier dungeon, so there's still a chance."
Although I don’t have any level 6 equipment and haven’t obtained any skills, I still have a few pieces of equipment below that level.
It’s just a pity that today’s players generally don’t have enough skills to engage in high-yield projects.
Therefore, everyone in Shimlabakken is poor, and there is no one who can afford to pay a hundred gold coins to buy them.
