Is the person you sculpt as cute as me?

"...Okay, the passive enhancement is starting to work."

As Senior Cat said, being an enchanter is also a job that helps one hone oneself.

After reaching the sixth level, it finally began to feed back magic power, granting them some bonuses...

In addition, Yu Man cares a lot about the word mentioned in the copy - "choice".

In other words, was it actually due to his own advancement method? Very likely.

After all, the way I advanced to the first few levels was completely different from the way I advanced to the later levels, and the feelings and gains were also completely different.

It seems that there is more than one way to upgrade it... After keeping this in mind, Yu Man flipped through his backpack, ready to test the power of a sixth-level enchanter.

She used her toes to dig through the snow and mud on the ground and found an ordinary little stone.

Then she reached out and picked up a few snowflakes from nature.

The enchanter's gathering function "Enchanted Nature" - when Yu Man opened his hands, the snow had become the medium of the ice element, sparkling, a handful of ice slag like broken diamonds.

"—Give it sharpness."

Like sprinkling icing sugar on a dessert, icy flakes fell colorfully from her fingertips.

It fell on the stone that was everywhere.

Suddenly, the stone seemed to be awakened, and one corner was lightly coated with magic power.

Yu Man picked it up, pinched it between his fingertips, and drew a line towards the large rock behind him that served as a landmark.

"……what."

The feeling was pleasant, but it took a beat longer for Yu Man to realize——

I used this stone to cut the big rock.

Its fracture is smooth and flawless, as if it had been polished.

“…Try again.”

She pulled another piece of fifth-tier material from her backpack—a metal bar. This time, the stone scraped across its surface, but instead of splitting it directly, it simply carved a mark. Then, having lost its potency, it turned into an ordinary stone.

“…It can actually be paddled.”

The most basic, lowest-level elements, and natural stones that have nothing to do with magic, can shake materials of this level.

A sixth-level enchanter possesses this power...

In that case, it's no surprise that I can unlock the manufacturing of that thing...

That was one of the keys that would allow Yu Man to fight the Ice Prison Dragon, and even defeat it. It was also the second indispensable condition for opening the port of Shimlabakken after obtaining the skill "Retain Time".

It’s time to confirm the third condition.

Yu Man threw the stone into the icy sea, left the small shelter and returned to the main city.

As time goes by, the scenery of players on the road has also changed. It is no longer enough to attract attention with third-level equipment.

On the contrary, Tier 3 equipment has become the most mainstream, no longer a rarity. Very rarely, you'll see one or two pieces of Tier 5 equipment... and without exception, they all have the name "Xiankan" ("闲看") under their guilds. Everyone knows they're the highest-end players with the fastest progress in the game, so the only glances they receive are envy and entitlement.

Yu Man was impressed by the rapid progress of the players, recalled himself in the first round, and walked towards the warehouse area as low-key as possible.

"I'm going to the big warehouse."

"—Identification confirmed...Okay, here are your keys."

Yu Man and Xiao Lu were no longer content with renting a small warehouse like before. Instead, they needed to open a separate warehouse, so they had to confirm with the NPC every time they came.

Their warehouse is in the most corner, the most remote place.

But this place contains the countless profits they have made from spending more than ten days and nights in the dungeon.

"Click--" the key fits into the keyhole, and the triple magic door opens.

Yu strolled in, sniffing the complex and difficult-to-conceal smells, closed the door and the outside light, and then lit the magic lamp.

In front of her was a mountain.

The entire warehouse was filled with a mountain of gold coins and supplies.

The enormous wealth that ordinary players cannot imagine or understand.

At this time, a head popped out of the mountain.

Gold coins flowed through her long hair, stumbling among her equipment and materials.

"eel?"

The sound of wealth seemed to be providing music for her voice.

Because - her face is even more precious.

108 Preparation

It’s not surprising that the deer is here. He just finished the dungeon and is about to come to the warehouse to store his harvest.

So Yu Man just raised his hand to say hello, without any enthusiasm of reunion after a long separation.

"Wait a moment..." The little deer came out from the mountain.

Her armor and sword kept colliding with materials, equipment, gold coins, and tools, and the echo in this crowded warehouse was so loud that Yu Man wanted to cover her ears.

Only then did Yu Man realize that she had a mount.

——Boxes.

"...Why are you riding a box? Why did the box get so much bigger?"

"After it ate the purple box I opened, it reached level six. It grew up so fast."

"Oh, the growth period." This is true for Xiangxiang.

Yu Man and Xiao Lu were busy working on the dungeon, but for it, it was an endless buffet journey.

You can get at least a treasure chest at the end of each copy, not to mention various hidden and on-the-road treasure chests.

The treasure chest monster that once bared its fangs and claws has now advanced to level six after eating its fill.

But its character and thoughts remain the same: "Employer, I am also working hard to grow. Please don't abandon me. I don't want to end my precious life like this..." It always feels that its life is very fragile.

Yu Man took a quick look and found that not only had the box become bigger, but its belly could also hold more things, which showed its strength.

"I've thrown you into the main city now. You can become the boss...end your life."

While it still only has one key skill, "Chest Master," its range has been greatly expanded. Furthermore, "Bite Bite Bite" has evolved into "Endless Bite Bite."

The destructive power is enhanced, and because of eating strange treasure chests for many years, the teeth are covered with strange magic and have a strong negative poison effect.

What's even more terrifying is that as a treasure chest monster with thick skin and flesh, it has an astonishingly high resistance to magic and negative effects, and its physical endurance is also good.

If it is left to the players in the main city to deal with, it is estimated that the difficulty of defeating it is about the same as the final boss of a team dungeon.

The best thing about it is its huge increase in storage space.

After all, it can still be put back into the backpack... and its value is skyrocketing thanks to the extra treasure chest.

"Let me tell you, Xiangxiang." Yu Man was concerned about something.

"Hmm? My employer wants to ride me too? I heard you're going to have an ultimate battle..."

While Xiangxiang's ability to be a mount was certainly noteworthy, Yu Man was more concerned about another issue: "Didn't you say before that the reflection of the old world that created you was there? Will it come back to reclaim you when the time comes?"

"Probably... I don't know... He just asked me to help... He didn't say anything else." Xiang Xiang really wasn't sure.

"Oh, if he comes then, remember to tell him that you belong to me now, so please let him go back."

"Ah...my employer needs me so much?"

"needs."

Xiang Xiang became shy, and his two rows of fangs rubbed up and down continuously, making a slight wooden squeaking sound of pleasure.

Furthermore, riding on it is a mysterious girl dressed as evil as a pagan king...

Yu Man suddenly felt that this wasn't his own warehouse, but the end of some special dungeon...

"Here, I'll give this to you first." Xiaolu handed the feather pen mentioned earlier to Yu Man.

Combined with his previous thoughts, Yu Man subconsciously wondered what the boss's intentions were in giving him this quest item. But these boundless thoughts vanished into thin air the moment he looked up and saw Xiaolu's expression.

She stopped where she was, holding up the magic lamp, and looked at the mountain in front of her with great joy.

Satisfaction, fulfillment, comfort, and longing——

All the sweetness that should be written at the end of the story is now gathered in the depths of her eyes, turning into the light on her face.

"Eel, look, we've worked so hard for so long... and yet we've managed to save up so much."

Yeah...that's great.

Yu Man endured it for a while, but finally said it out loud: "Too bad, I'm going to be a spendthrift."

"Well, that's why they exist." The deer didn't express frustration, but nodded as if it was natural. "So, are all the conditions for opening the port in place?"

"Well—I'm a sixth-level enchanter."

"That's great, but unfortunately my Traveler is only at level 4."

"It doesn't matter. I'm going to open a port for Himlabakken—and then, complete the main storyline of this island." What Yu Man said was, in fact, "It is the two-person ticket to the world."

Everything that lay before him now fulfilled the final condition. Adding the ability to "retain time" and a sixth-rank enchanter, these three essential elements would become an investment in changing reality in Yu Man's hands.

There's a 50% chance it will vanish into thin air - no matter how much you try to beautify it with fancy words, it only has a 50% chance of success.

But in other words, it is already high enough. Moreover, players have countless challenges and do not have to fear death or failure.

The little deer got off the box and asked, "Are we leaving tonight?"

"Well, I've taken a shower, and with the sleep pattern added in at night, that's about ten hours... that should be enough."

"Then I'll log off and take a shower. There's nothing I can do to help you."

"If you fail, just don't scold me at breakfast tomorrow."

The deer smiled and nodded, his expression finally relaxed, but a hint of fatigue finally appeared.

Unfortunately, she couldn't go with Yu Man to challenge the ice dragon.

Even if the two of them worked together to clear the dungeon for more than ten days and obtained such a mountain of assets...it was only enough to arm one person.

That is the regional boss, the Ice Prison Dragon, a fantasy beast with the most terrifying mechanism.

Just wanting to stand in front of it would require something that even the entire world's players combined could hardly muster. Even Yu Man had to use the power of a sixth-level enchanter to make up for the shortfall.

So... a futile death is meaningless, it is not a fleeting scenery.

There is no way around it, this is still Yu Man’s solo journey.

……

After Xiaolu went offline, there was still a box in the warehouse.

Yu Man waved, and it came over, twisting and turning, like a puppy.

Sitting on it is always more comfortable than an ice chair.

"Let me take a look..." Yu Man's fingers moved in circles, and he used gestures to wake up the warehouse's operating interface, which contained inventory management with a very long progress bar.

First, we need to select equipment that is level 6 or above and can be used by magicians...

The results obtained were just a few items, and there were no high-value skills attached.

High-level items are always scarce, and this becomes more so as you progress... but they also become more attractive.

Yu Man first took out a robe——

Love transcends fear

"Between truth and fear, who are we?"

This is the only seventh-level item among all the equipment, and it is the only one of its kind in the world.

They had obtained it in the 7.1 dungeon, and the attached skills were quite valuable. Furthermore, it was incredibly beautiful. The pure white, flawless, patternless, and unadorned robe even had a divine aura.
