Is the person you sculpt as cute as me?

The summoned reflection of the old world corroded the ice sculpture body bit by bit, and it took several minutes to finally fully master it.

Soon, the ice statue was able to move like an ordinary person and fight according to Yu Man's needs and orders.

Although the combat effectiveness is very weak.

"If it's higher in rank, it should be quite effective in combat—Okay, let's go back. Thank you."

"Then—the agreement is complete."

"Well, the agreement is fulfilled."

That low-level reflection of the old world returned with a relaxed tone and a feeling of being quite well-earned.

From this, it seems that each reflection of the Old World has a different personality, but they are all quite dedicated.

In addition, there are two simple uses. They can be attached to objects, and they can also be attached to life.

Whether it is attaching to a corpse to make it move again, or attaching to a living person to control his thoughts and actions, it can be achieved to a certain extent.

Although it requires a reflection of the old world of corresponding strength and the sacrifices also need to have a strong connection, the functionality of this profession is indeed very rich.

If they are not allowed to possess other people and act as spirits on their own, they can also have quite a wide range of uses.

They can serve as sentinels, explorers, voyeurs, and even messengers and informants.

Yu Man could only summon weaker, yet still very agile, reflections of the old world. These ghostly projections, able to pass through most matter, were well suited for these tasks.

But they also have a weakness - their frontal combat effectiveness is very poor. But Yu Man is very sure that as long as his expertise is improved and his main weapon is upgraded, this problem can be solved.

"I see...it can be used like this."

In the second half of the night, Yu Man came up with another mechanism.

These knots can be left untied and kept as reserves, with a maximum of three being stored at a time.

What's even more amazing is that these knot reserves can still remain effective even if you switch main-hand weapons frequently.

As long as you carry the rope with you and have a free hand to untie the knot when needed - then the reflection of the old world that was summoned and stored in advance will be called out and become an additional help in battle.

"Then what kind of Old World reflections to reserve... is a tactical question... very interesting."

Throughout the second half of the night, Yu Man was thinking about what to summon.

If you knew about the battle ahead of time, you could stock up on countermeasures, which wouldn't be a problem. But for normal activities, it needed to be versatile enough... Yu Man spent an entire night researching a better combination.

Until dawn, she was still excitedly summoning various reflections of the old world, frantically trying to match them.

If it weren't for the little deer in the game, flooding the screen with messages like "Come and eat", Yu Man would probably still have forgotten the reality.

……

"Oh." Xiaolu sighed, not because Yu Man was late.

It would be more accurate to say that she was pestering Yu Man to see him because she wanted to find him to complain.

Perhaps it was the arrival of spring, Xiaolu had changed into a set of home clothes, all in black charmeuse, delicate and form-fitting, requiring no break-in period to feel as comfortable as before. But no matter how she changed the fabrics, nothing could compare to her beautiful hair.

"Ugh."

"What's the matter? Brother, why are you dissatisfied with such delicious breakfast tea?" Yu Man yawned.

"I failed the dungeon... I wasted a tier 7 party card. It's so hard to clear..."

"Huh? Did you fight with Ya Ge, Teng Ge and the others?"

"No, they don't even have tier 6 equipment. They're just throwing food at me. Of course, I played solo... but I didn't even get past the first mini-boss."

Yu Man bit into a chicken claw, thinking that the difficulty of a tier 7 team dungeon should be somewhere between tier 8 and tier 9 solo dungeons, right at his current level. If he came across a more plot-oriented dungeon with less combat, he might try tier 9.

But the gap between level 8 and level 9 is strictly speaking even greater than the gap between level 1 and level 8. This applies to both players and NPCs. Therefore, when Yu Man first entered the Old World, he still felt that the 4.4 instance, equivalent to level 8, was not hopeless.

"Oh." Xiaolu looked at Yu Man and sighed exaggeratedly.

"Alas." Yu Man also sighed, finally understanding the girl's thoughts. "When you get to the island, our fixed team will be re-established, and I'll help you get revenge."

"Yeah, hehe." She was finally happy.

Yu Man estimated that day should not be far away, and it should come earlier than the revenge of the "Youshi Chamber of Commerce".

Whether it's through dungeons or salvaging, they'll have to find a way to upgrade their equipment. With a skilled player like Xiaolu, even a ninth-rank expert can handle it.

"How is everyone's progress now?" Yu Man asked.

"The vanguard has already started clearing the sixth-tier dungeon, but the yield of sixth-tier equipment is almost zero. These people are already halfway through their specializations and are busy crafting soul weapons. The prices of various fourth-tier and fifth-tier materials are extremely high right now."

Yu Man nodded and said, "Have you sponsored Yago and the others?"

"Well, Brother Ya, Brother Teng, and that little clay furnace have all made soul weapons... Speaking of which, do you know?"

“…I don’t know.”

The deer gnawed on a piece of pork ribs and said, "After the clay furnace was made into a soul weapon, it gained a super powerful skill that can save one death and rebound death itself. It's so perverted, really perverted."

It sounds really powerful. Without special defense, it can directly exchange for the opponent's life. This is undoubtedly a top-level skill that can only be drawn by the Rainbow Achievement... Is it because of good luck?

But Xiaolu pointed at Yu Man with the meatless ribs and said, "Ni Xiaolu has contacted me privately many times, asking me to thank you and asking if I could send you a thank-you gift."

"Why—oh."

Yu Man immediately understood.

"Oh—I got the first kill achievement, and those two got killed first... It's also a rainbow achievement."

"Well, I told them that the skill I drew was related to the Rainbow Achievement, and the same is true for the Clay Furnace. It seems that the mechanism for this soul weapon to grant skills is based on achievements."

Yu Man remained silent and quietly glanced at Senior Cat, thinking that this mechanism had been easily cracked by the deer in this round.

"So, brother, do you want a thank-you gift? I heard it's very valuable."

"This..." Yu Man wanted it, of course, as she only had a few hundred yuan from renting out her lease. However, if she said it, Xiao Lu would probably shove a credit card at her, which would be humiliating, unlike the self-earned salary.

"I live under your roof and have no worries about food, clothing, and shelter. I am already very content." After thinking it over, Yu Man refused.

Xiaolu nodded, but changed the topic.

"Then...besides that, is there nothing else you want?"

"...What else do you want?" Yu Man asked doubtfully. He was making good progress in the game and had everything he could get.

But the little deer didn't respond. He just drank the tea and occasionally put some snacks into his mouth.

Leisurely and patient.

……

As usual, Yu Man spent the entire morning in reality, doing a lot of housework to prevent himself from being completely drowned in the game.

After lunch, the two of them went to bed.

The night also faded from Lumana Seti, but what greeted Yu Man was not a clear sky.

Half rain, half snow.

Like the island, it divides winter and spring.

Drizzle and light snow—it doesn’t affect work, but it does add to the scenery.

"Employer." It was Xiang Xiang. Seeing Yu Man coming, it limped over. "Progress is good, everything is normal."

"Ah."

"The only thing that's a little strange is that the island is a little haunted."

138·End

Is it haunted...? Yu Man remained calm.

It's nothing more than various minor problems caused by the frequent summoning of reflections of the old world yesterday.

Those things that are the root fear and were born with the oldest humans and are the source of ghosts are naturally hauntings themselves, so Yu Man didn't take them seriously.

"No one was hurt, right?"

"No, I was just scared, but I'm okay."

That's it.

Looking out at the construction site from afar——

Amidst the drizzle, one could see the Mage Tower halfway up the mountain under construction, in full swing. Rather, no one could ignore the unfinished Mage Tower.

It exudes an amazing presence.

The first floor has been built, using a large amount of sixth-level building materials.

Yu Man couldn't name the stone bricks; they probably came from a small, unique location. Each one was shrouded in magical energy, and the patterns of that energy varied wildly from different angles, but overall, the base color was white, a very classy color.

They were built on the foundation as the first floor of the tower.

It is bonded together with specially formulated magic potions, which is not only strong and beautiful, but also can gather and isolate magic power.

This floor is spacious enough, about the same size as the first floor of Xiaolu's house, and can accommodate a living room, four bedrooms, and two balconies.

The seventh and eighth-tier building materials have not been used yet, which makes sense because they are suitable for interior room construction.

The dwarf architect directed the work without sleep, and those strange tree elves implemented the instructions with great precision and diligence. It seemed that it was not an exaggeration to say that it was not an exaggeration to complete the construction of the basic functions in two days.

"Xiangxiang, what about the workers' food, water, and housing?"

"There's plenty of food on the boat, which they've already taken out. It's enough. They're also on board to accommodate us. To avoid polluting the island, the drinking water is desalinated seawater, and everything else is also handled on their boat. When the time comes, they'll pack up and leave, leaving no pollution behind."

"Well, what about my little brother?"

"I told Sister Ice Dragon that you usually don't come until noon, so I don't know where it's been... probably looking for food."

Sister Ice Dragon...whatever.

Yu Man was not dissatisfied with anything, so he planned to continue researching the profession of the Promise Keeper. As a hidden profession that was unique to the world, there were of course no guides or predecessors to imitate, so he had to figure everything out on his own.

So, she said, "Then please continue to trouble Xiangxiang and help me - ok?"

"what?"

Yu Man's eyes changed - sharp, insightful, and curious.

She felt that the faint magic power was cracking in the air in an unprecedented way.

And... there were no signs.

Xiang Xiang also noticed this. Not only them, but also the slaves and crew members on the construction site, although a few beats later, smelled something strange in the air.

Something was coming—and everyone understood it for no apparent reason.

"Space magic? Even if the person who came is at the ninth level, can he do this? Strange..." Yu Man felt something strange.

But it doesn't matter.

She knew very well that this was nothing more than the revenge of the "Ghost World Chamber of Commerce" coming early.

Yu Man quickly took out the magic book and prepared the enchantment medium. He had to engrave "die" on the equipment and summon the reflection of the old world at the same time.

However, the Ice Prison Dragon was not there, so Yu Man felt less confident.

But he should be back soon after the fight, that little guy is very agile.

"But... what exactly is this? It seems like summoning magic, but also a bit like teleportation magic... Strange, I feel like I've seen it somewhere... but it's unfamiliar..."

While preparing for battle, Yu Man's mind was also working rapidly, pondering the magical fluctuations in the air.

She seemed to be able to grasp the clues because there was something familiar in it, but it also felt extremely strange.

Contradictory and strange - this made Yu Man feel a little bad.

Regardless—the visitor must be quite high-level, otherwise there wouldn't be this kind of noise...

"Xianxiang, I'm going to fight seriously later and may not be able to take care of you. Don't die."

"it is good……"

About ten seconds later, the magic in the air began to move.

At first, there was a flash of lightning.
