Is the person you sculpt as cute as me?

The source of the waterfall is very strange. It is water seeping out from the mountains.

The mountain is surrounded by vegetation and has solid soil, with no caves or special structures.

The water just seeped out naturally and then gathered into a flow... downwards.

Yu Man couldn't understand the structure of these geological problems, so he could only wait for the travelers to come.

Further up is the top of the mountain, the residence of the Ice Prison Dragon.

That’s just right—I want to go there too.

"Let's go to your house."

"Ok!"

Along the way, Yu Man parted the brush, brushed off fallen bird wings and insects, and picked some recognizable berries, putting them in his mouth. Their flavor was extremely rich, once again proclaiming the island's abundance.

The top of the mountain is very flat.

To the left of the dividing line between winter and spring is its home, covered by frozen snow that never melts.

The other side is conceptually shrouded in "early spring", interpreting beauty from its root.

But even so, the top of the mountain is terrifying.

There is no howling winter, no endless blizzards, and no sharp ice spikes like a forest.

There is only the concept of "cold".

All the magic power is concentrated in the winter area, which is the home of the Ice Prison Dragon.

Together with the winter it symbolizes and the severe cold it proves... they are the ultimate cold.

If Yu Man didn't have the dragon's blessing, with his current equipment, he would undoubtedly get frostbite just by getting close.

"Welcome! The first guest to my home!" The Ice Prison Dragon chanted a winter ballad. "Unfortunately, I have nothing to offer..."

"It's okay, the scenery is beautiful. Thank you for sharing it with me... It's also hard work for you. You've been gazing at this desolate place for who knows how long."

There really is nothing here.

There is only the concept of winter and spring, divided by a non-existent line.

There is only a lonely dragon watching over it.

From here you can look out to sea – you can’t see Shimla Bakken, or anything else.

There is only an endless sea of ​​ice.

They were once a surging blue sea... and this is the scenery that the Ice Prison Dragon has watched over for generations.

Until it—it came that Yu Man was stroking.

"You're looking out at the ocean, thinking no one comes to play with you because the ocean swallows lives. So... you freeze all the ocean water so people can walk on it... One day... someone might even walk here, get close to you... and get to know you."

Becoming – a change in this unchanging landscape.

The Ice Prison Dragon hummed a lonely song softly, but it was already an outdated song.

Just as Yu Man came here with the night, he changed the scenery.

Now, Yu Man also wants to rewrite this place.

She opened the magic book and constructed an ice-cast trace with the magic power extending from her soul.

It was a flagpole, standing tall in the center where winter and spring intertwined.

It doesn't have a flag yet, but it's proven enough.

Then——

"Through the Ice Dragon's sharing, you obtained the territory: Lumana Seti.

Do you want to make it a guild territory? Or a personal territory?"

Yu Man chose her personal territory, and in an instant, the island became her private property.

On the map, its area color also changes to green, symbolizing territory.

The Ice Prison Dragon itself is part of the territory, and naturally, it becomes Yu Man's property.

Now, she has a brand new territory management interface and there is a lot to work with... but not now, she still has a lot of things to do.

Rather than giving commands to the system, Yu Man prefers to speak and communicate with it using the language he has learned with great difficulty.

"Come, thaw the sea—new friends and foes will arrive by ship, dispelling your loneliness and transforming the landscape you have watched so long."

"Ah."

……

this day.

Once upon a time, a stranger stepped out into the sea, found an island, and rode on the back of a dragon.

On this day, the frozen sea melted quietly.

All the nearby frozen islands, including Himlabakken.

Once again, the sound of waves was heard.

……

"I slept so soundly... How could I have fallen asleep?" On this day, a new dawn arrived.

The little deer was surprised that he had fallen asleep.

With such a beautiful Yu Man by his side, he should have stayed by her side (meaning sleeping together), cheering her on all night, waiting for her to win the victory after her hard-fought battle... and admiring her beauty by the way.

But... I don't know when I fell asleep, and it was a traditional sleep, without the help of any gaming equipment.

I felt like I didn't dream anything and had a very refreshing and comfortable sleep.

"Well...it's good too." Besides, when I wake up, I can still see Yu Man's face.

"Meow..." It was the Triple Crown. The cat opened its eyes when it heard the human movement.

"Triple Crown, good morning."

"……Meow."

"Hey, I wonder if the eel has become... Hmm? Why do you like biting phones so much?" The cat moved closer to the deer's pillow, and its tail slapped Yu Man's face from time to time, just to pretend to playfully bite the phone away, but in fact it wanted to continue to go online to the forum and argue with others.

The deer tried to protect Yu Man's phone, but was also very happy to play with the cat early in the morning.

However, this process lights up the phone screen.

A piece of news that was urgently pushed last night was still eye-catching even though it was displayed on a horrible screen.

"...Huh, on sale? Wait."

Xiaolu took out his mobile phone from the pillow and immediately checked the content.

There was no need for any exploration, everything she needed to know was already boiling over the world.

——That came from an announcement.

Game announcement.

But for today's world, it is a bombshell like an apocalypse.

The game "Old World Reborn" has three updates on its official website. The most popular and most valued update among players happens to be the shortest.

In a nutshell - because a certain condition is met, gaming equipment will be sold without limit.

"Wow, big news." Even the deer was shocked.

Only the cat senior who came nearby watched coldly, knowing everything already.

During the discussion, people believed that the game company and the factory had reached an agreement and met the "production capacity" condition, so they began to sell the game in large quantities.

When the first batch went on sale, those millions of devices were sold quietly, and those who were late to the party missed the first opportunity.

Millions of players around the world have been working on the game for nearly a month, but people will not be deterred. No matter what, people want to join that world.

Sleep pattern can enrich the length of life.

It is equivalent to giving mankind an extra third of life, and also provides a vast world of freedom.

Therefore, the good news of opening for sale is extremely significant.

"There will be a lot of new players coming...Okay, I'm going to the illegal area to kill the newcomers." Xiaolu rolled around happily on the bed with his mobile phone in his arms.

The cat senior next to him was surprised, but immediately turned into strong recognition.

After digesting this, Xiaolu started reading other content.

"...Hmm? Competition? Oh, you mean professionalism?"

Senior Cat immediately felt as if he was facing a great enemy, and stood still.

The deer glanced at it, thought that cats always like to be startled, and continued reading.

Basically, it was a long announcement introducing the format...

"...As long as they are a player...anyone can participate...this is not a matter of course."

"Oh? The game only holds one event a year? The Rainbow Crystal League, which starts at the end of the year?"

"It's only been a month since the Lunar New Year, why are you already talking about the end of the year... Oh, there's more."

The official of "Old World" is only responsible for one end-of-year competition each year.

But it has quietly arranged the rights to host the competition.

Two different top-level organizers will host a top-level event in late spring and summer, and then more organizers will hold various secondary events throughout the year... Is it really that complicated?

Senior Cat was very anxious. He was the most understanding person in the world and wanted to say, "What's so complicated?"

Fortunately, the deer is not stupid.

"I see. Three big ones a year, and countless smaller ones... the big ones being in late spring and summer... and these three in late winter. As expected of a game that encourages mutual destruction and looting, they're really active in organizing competitions."

Xiaolu tried to think about it. Countless experts from all over the world gathered to fight each other...

But - she found that she couldn't think of anyone who could win more than the girl beside her.

"Meow... meow... ah... meow." The cat making strange noises from its mouth walked back and forth on Yu Man's thighs, looking very anxious.

……

"Brother, I really don't have this."

The Ice Prison Dragon felt a little aggrieved because Yu Man had asked him three times, but he was still asking again, which clearly showed that he suspected he was lying.

Yu Man said something like, "Think about it carefully. Does this island have a treasure chest that looks like it's emitting rainbow colors?" It really looked like what she said, the image of a greedy and evil stranger.

"But... there isn't one."

"Alas." Yu Man looked at her outfit. It was so luxurious when she went out, "but I have to go home barefoot."

I can only use ice magic to create a set of equipment for myself - just like when I first met the deer.

Her new equipment at the time was mostly melted by the digestive fluid, so Yu Man froze a set of equipment for her.

Well, at least it suits my profession. I'll make a pair of boots out of ice first...

"Ah, big brother, do you want to wear it?" The Ice Prison Dragon heard Yu Man's whispers.

"Yeah, that's right. You're an eighth-level mythical beast. If you use ice to build one for me... it should be higher-end than mine."

"No problem! But what I'm trying to say is that in the memories passed down by our ancestors, there were many powerful foreigners who were killed and sunk in the nearby sea. The things they wore should be difficult to be destroyed by a mere ocean...even after a long, long time."

Last week's episode—or even the episode before that.

If someone else heard it, they would think it was a background story.

But what the Ice Prison Dragon said is indeed feasible. It is better to say that it is a kind of adventurous gameplay, commonly known as salvage.

In this vast ocean, countless treasures and adventures lie dormant.

This is not only one of the main contents of going overseas, but also the main battlefield of the treasure map system.

Treasure maps that record sinking legends are always extremely attractive.
