Is the person you sculpt as cute as me?

"Let's go and revisit the old place." Yu Man made the decision.

"Okay, there's nothing to worry about if Big Brother is here."

Riding the Ice Prison Dragon, Yu Man enchanted herself with some resistance, because the magic flow at high altitude was thin and chaotic, not a good place. There was no need for a traveler around her, as her adventurer profession was adapted to such conditions.

The two of them grabbed hold of the Ice Prison Dragon, and it immediately flapped its wings and took off at full speed.

In a flash—it pierced through the scattered clouds.

"I'm so happy to be able to travel to the sky and see the secret treasure floating in the sky!"

"Brother, don't be too happy. This may not be a good thing..."

"Wow, the eels are pouring cold water on me right after I go out? Even if I don't dig anything up, I'm happy just flying up like this."

Can--

Even though the Ice Prison Dragon's speed was extremely exaggerated, the blue sky remained constant.

Only at such moments can human beings experience unprecedented feelings.

A feeling of insignificance, being despised by heaven and earth.

The more he looked up at the unchanging sky, the stronger this feeling became, so much so that the deer began to remain silent, and then... tried to look back to see how far away he was from the ground.

“——hiss.” A gasp of surprise escaped from between her lips and teeth.

Unconsciously, even though she knew it was a game and even though she loved adventure and traveling, she was also infected with fear.

It was the instinctive fear of being too far away from the earth.

"I can't tell the difference anymore." Xiaolu's tone was soft.

"Yes, forget about the islands. There's only the sea reflecting the sky."

But the Ice Prison Dragon continued to climb, as if there was no end.

"Xiao, Xiaobing, maybe you remembered the wrong location and flew over it?" Xiaolu spoke and Yu Man translated.

The ballad of the Ice Prison Dragon sounded softly. That gentle childish voice was the only solace in this endless journey: "No, no, I remember the route. We'll see you in two more minutes."

In the girl's anxiety——

Children's words are honest and reliable.

Two minutes later, a foreign object mixed into the endless blue.

It was suspended in the air, helpless, more like something else than a floating island.

A... house? Really.

It's not very big, barely enough for the Ice Prison Dragon to curl up on the roof.

It exudes an antique feel like a relic, but there is no serious damage on the exterior. Instead, it is surprisingly well-preserved.

and also--

"—Fuck, a magic circle constructed by four tenth-level magics... and they complement each other... Holy shit, what on earth is it supposed to achieve?!"

After getting closer, Yu Man looked at the floating house and exclaimed in surprise.

Four extremely mysterious magic circles were written on the wall in different structures.

It is too complicated and profound, even Yu Man can't understand it all.

She began to speculate about the origin of this thing. Could it be the "Parliament"? Or the "Holy See"'s Proclamation Team? Or perhaps a subordinate god under one of the "Three Secrets"? Or perhaps it was that old friend, or a non-existent being in the alternate ending of the faulty dungeon?

There aren't many people who can write this kind of magic circle, but the origins of each one are extremely astonishing.

"No, this writing style—it's even annotated in English? This looks like it was written by a player? What?"

Yu Man was even more surprised.

Just like creators hiding Easter eggs in their works, these four magic circles, with their extremely exquisite structure, each contain a sentence.

No, to be exact, it is five sentences, one of which has been distorted, but can still be interpreted.

Or rather, it was deliberately preserved—

"'Our secret base, free from nagging women, so cool (crossed out)'"

This sentence has been rewritten——

"'This is our family's secret base. I volunteer to wash dishes for the next ten years. As a testament to this.'"

"Anyway, let's dock first..."

Yu Man touched the back of the Ice Prison Dragon and gave instructions.

In the sky that is too high, there is a house hanging unknown to anyone.

Mysterious and wonderful.

Lian Yuman couldn't tell what materials it was made of, so he could only say that it was a creation of the players.

And——he is an extremely powerful player.

Only those who have reached at least the tenth level and delved into the profound and obscure areas can create such a strange building.

“This shape…the patterns on these walls…it’s just like the Kaaba,” Fawn tried to say.

"Indeed...Kaaba." Yu Man certainly knew this common sense.

On the four walls, an extremely complex magic circle is surrounded, and it is still in operation even today.

They are too profound and obscure, and Yu Man can't figure out why they exist.

All I know is that it says in English that it was written by a player.

The Ice Prison Dragon circled for a moment, found a suitable angle, slowed down, and gently landed on the roof of the building. Like a cat squeezed into space, its limbs barely squeezed together, but it was able to stand.

After arriving at the station and stopping.

"shape--"

Yu Man wanted to create some ice steps around so that he could explore this strange building.

Otherwise, this place is too high and you will fall if you are not careful.

But in high altitude areas, the magic power is thin and chaotic, making communication difficult.

There is almost no water and ice elements, and Yu Man's magic efficiency is very low.

Even though he was already an eighth-level magician, his magic efficiency was no different from that of a third-level magician. He could only barely make it by relying on the magic power stored in his soul to create a sufficient foothold.

"Go—be careful not to fall."

"Well...I'm a little scared."

The two of them carefully slid down the wings of the Ice Prison Dragon and landed on the ice.

A strange feeling of walking on nothingness came over me.

This is a place that is no longer displayed on the system map, and it is unknown how far away it is from the sea.

Only the sky remains the sky, without any change.

"Then...how do we get in?" asked the deer.

"Try knocking."

Arriving at the door of the house, Yu Man stretched out his hand and tried to knock on the door.

The girl gently bent her slender index and middle fingers and knocked on the door with her knuckles.

The heaviness and coldness of the stone reflected back at her, even giving her the astonishment of awakening history.

"...No one opened the door." The deer said, "What kind of treasure map have we opened...it's so mysterious."

She was tense the whole time, her hand on the hilt, but it meant nothing.

Yu Man was just about to speak, to find some plans for the next step and to comfort her at the same time.

But unexpectedly——

"squeak--"

The door opened.

The thick special stone draws an ancient, unsmooth arc.

But it remained open.

With the light from the clear sky, they were able to see what was happening inside the house.

"This……"

The little deer was at a loss for words. Even though he was determined to become a knowledgeable traveler, the scenery before him was beyond his imagination.

But she knew how to describe it.

"Someone else's...home?"

"It really is……"

It was a house that could be found anywhere and belonged to ordinary people in reality.

Shoe cabinets, entryways, storage cabinets. The tile floor is bumpy and leads to a messy living room.

Plants and flower pots, fish tanks, sofas and coffee tables filled with miscellaneous items.

"Wow, man, you're very knowledgeable... What the hell is going on here?"

The deer didn't even dare to go in, instead taking a few steps back. When such a scene appeared in a fantasy world game, it would indeed cause the traveler's mind to become disturbed.

It was indeed the work of a player—but it was a little strange.

The atmosphere of life here is so rich that it's hard to imagine what era it came from. Furthermore, the player who was able to recreate all of this realistic interior decoration and create all of this... is truly amazing.

Yu Man licked his lips. The dryness at high altitude and a hint of anxiety in his heart made them a little dry.

He also softened his words so as not to make the fawn more uneasy.

"It seems... it's some special Easter egg plot."

"So that's it - the production team used it when testing the modeling? And then they forgot to delete the scene file." When someone brought her back to reality with words, Xiaolu's heart was immediately soothed, and her rich gaming experience began to take effect.

Although Yu Man had different ideas, she still took the lead and walked into the house.

"Excuse me." Of course, you have to be polite.

But, it was supposed to be a casual remark, just for fun.

But it was responded.

"Welcome! But I'm sorry... could you please put on your shoes..."

"Oh, of course, of course... No, that's not right—shit, there's someone here." Yu Man was completely shocked. How could someone as experienced as herself not have noticed it at all?!

But soon, Yu Man understood the problem.

What welcomed her was not a player or an NPC, but something equivalent to one of the objects in the room.

She blended in so naturally that Yu Man didn't even notice.

"The shoe covers for guests are on the first shelf of the shoe cabinet to your left. Although we're short on time, the hostess will be unhappy if you don't do it."

The person who spoke was a woman, who seemed to be some kind of servant of this place.

Her green hair was fluffy and curly, just touching her shoulders.

The red and white plaid dress is quite tasteful, and her bright red eyes look directly at the guests.

"...I feel like I've seen this person somewhere before."

“…I feel that too.”

As they changed their shoe covers, they pondered the strangeness of the situation.

After changing, the servant welcomed me again with a happy face: "Please feel free to do as you please. Do you need anything to treat me? Snacks? Tea? Fruit?"
