Is the person you sculpt as cute as me?

Moreover, the clearance-level skill "Retaining Time" contained therein seems to have been strengthened, exuding an even stranger feeling than before.

"Try it."

As soon as Yu Man said this, everyone subconsciously stepped back a lot.

It’s not that they are worried about becoming a test subject, but the desire to survive is at work, and they are worried about being implicated.

Everyone—felt an unprecedented fear because of the danger emanating from that holy book.

But just as Yu Man was about to use "Retain Time", he already knew what it had changed.

The feel and feedback are different.

It was directional before, but now... it seems to have become range-based... although it is very small.

And its effectiveness has become significantly stronger - it feels like you can reach a more distant place through the flow of time by just reaching out your hand.

"...I see. But the magic power consumption has also increased... But it doesn't matter."

"Congratulations, Master Eel! The magic weapon is complete!"

The little deer beside him clapped non-stop, his tone like a joke, but full of sincerity and envy.

Yu Man waved her hand, signaling her not to act awkwardly.

Then--

"A deer."

"Ok?"

"Tell me, with such a large number of branches of the 'Ghost World Chamber of Commerce', could there be some ninth-level materials hidden...that could just be thrown into your soul weapon?"

……

The next day.

Xiaobing, who had slept in, woke up naturally, and the lazy day was sprinkled with not-so-fresh morning light.

"Brother—did I get up too late?"

Like a desperate student who is about to be late for school and shouts for the last bus.

Her dragon songs echoed throughout the island, startling many birds.

But then I thought, usually at this time, Yu Man and Xiao Lu are not online...

She felt a little lonely and lowered her head again, wondering where to spend her time.

but--

"Don't worry, I'm still packing my luggage. Let's talk in ten minutes." A girl's pleasant and high-pitched voice echoed faintly from the Mage Tower.

Because of this small difference, Xiaobing feels very happy.

……

Earlier——

Unlike usual, all preparations have been completed and the official strategy is about to begin.

Epic dungeons require a completely different approach to strategy.

Therefore, after breakfast, Yu Man and Xiao Lu talked to the housekeeping robot. She looked quite used to it and prepared two days' worth of food for the two souls who would be living with their families in the old world.

In order to deal with some offline-related mechanisms, Yu Man and Xiao Lu moved in together and no longer lived in separate rooms.

and--

In order to consider Senior Cat, Yu Man went to the top floor and stepped into Xiaolu's room for the first time.

"so big."

"Big?"

It’s not as luxurious as I imagined, but it’s as messy as I expected.

There are expensive electronic devices everywhere, but the area where the computers are placed is full of life.

A large bed was placed in the corner, with a number of dolls on it. Besides that, there were also electric guitars, speakers, effects pedals, etc., but it was obvious that they were rarely used.

She also has two bookcases, which are filled with miscellaneous books, but they show signs of being read a lot.

Her exclusive balcony could even be called a garden, with the largest-aperture stargazing telescope and various supporting equipment. I wonder how many stars you can see in such a big city.

The bathroom was surprisingly ordinary, but you could see that there were a lot of newly bought beauty products.

What surprised Yu Man the most was that this room was connected to another room, which was actually a wardrobe and jewelry cabinet.

"Brother, you stay at home all day... why do you have so many clothes to wear?"

"Having something and wearing it are two different things. It's just for emergencies. Look, for example, right now, you don't have many clothes... That's a rainy day, and I can lend them to you."

Yu Man also saw the small vest she had given her, placed separately and delicately, very solemnly.

Realizing this, Xiaolu panicked and hurriedly poked Yu Man: "Let's go, let's go play games. There will be plenty of time for real things later."

Xiaolu's room was like a copy that could never be cracked, and its difficulty made Yu Man want to give up.

But there was nothing she could do - she was pinned to the bed by the final boss, forced to wear the device, and had to embark on a journey to another world with her.

They traveled to the Old World.

……

"It's a shame... I can only stay at home." The "Fate Changer" said regretfully, "But I wish you all a safe journey and a speedy return."

She waved goodbye to the two people who were riding on the dragon's back.

But they are very ink-smoking.

After confirming again and again that nothing was left out, Yu Mancai gently stroked Long Yi and gave the order to travel.

"Don't go to Himlabakken. Sail directly north to an island called 'Sanglai.' Your sister Xiaolu will give you directions. It's a good opportunity to help her practice her Esperanto."

"Okay, big brother."

The dragon's wings are spread out, symbolizing the wind of travel being thrown behind it.

The sea and sky overlooking him were already familiar to him. Yu Man carefully considered the latest information he had obtained from Senior Cat.

According to Senior Cat's monitoring, the "strategy group" team that refused Yu Man's joining had already set off for a day.

They are equipped with dedicated team reporters who are responsible for a certain degree of live broadcast.

Of course, it wouldn't be a live broadcast revealing progress, strategy methods, or locations, just a simple text description. But even so, it was already quite a gimmick.

In addition to the "Strategy Group", there are nearly ten other teams that have been formed in different ways and have started the strategy one after another.

They all recruited personnel and completed combat preparations as quickly as possible after the world was reopened to air traffic, and rushed to Sanlai to begin the attack as soon as possible, so the starting time was almost the same.

In comparison, Yu Man was one day late.

But she was sure she was better prepared.

"Xiaolu, we've arrived in Sanlai and we're going to hire a player to join us."

"...Huh, it's not just the two of us?"

Yu Man shook her head: "He's a therapist."

There was no way. Senior Cat really didn't want to play with her breasts. No matter how Yu Man threatened or tempted her, she refused to give in.

Especially after going through the Fairy City dungeon and understanding one of her stories, Yu Man no longer felt comfortable asking her to put down her sword.

But Senior Cat had thought it through and had already prepared a suitable therapist.

Six and seven flowers.

Under the arrangement of "lie", Yu Man once met her by chance.

She is indeed a very normal therapist, however, she is a stress freak who talks a lot.

Regarding this point - Yu Man doesn't like it very much.

But according to Senior Mao, Liutong Qihua had also been recruited into the "Strategy Group" before, and had received a considerable therapist subsidy.

However, after Yu Man was rejected, Liu Tong Qi Hua simply quit the team. He also created a lot of fake accounts and criticized their stupidity in more than ten different tones, causing quite a stir.

This shows that she has sufficient understanding of the game.

In addition, since it was Senior Mao who chose her, Yu Man no longer minded. Instead, he was willing to team up with her to see what happens.

"This is my first time teaming up with a healer..." From the tone of his voice, Xiaolu didn't seem to mind.

But Yu Man corrected her: "That's embarrassing. Didn't you team up with Brother Teng in Shimla Bakken before? He was really good at it."

"Oh, yeah! I left the guild later, so we didn't play together anymore. It was a shame. We all finally got to know each other... but there's nothing we can do."

"Getting acquainted...does that mean you're just 'watching' and being known in the community as a middle-aged, unmarried, fat, and down-at-heel guy who flirts with every female gamer he sees?"

"Hahaha! Yeah." Xiaolu didn't mind at all. At the same time, she also had some information. "You have a really good reputation. A CEO in the IT industry, an investor, a successful person in his thirties..."

"Damn... who spread this?"

"There's a master player named 'Three Crowns and the King of Reversed Time.' I learned a lot from him." This was a topic that intrigued Xiaolu. "Speaking of which, he seemed to know you well? He would mention you occasionally."

It’s true that you are very familiar with her - you are also very familiar with her and you stroke her every day.

Contrary to what he thought in his heart, Yu Man was teasing the cat senior in the distance.

"That guy couldn't beat me, so he held a grudge against me and fabricated lies to discredit me online."

But Yu Man laughed.

It was like "lie" had been continuously expressing his longing for her in awkward ways.

Perhaps, the little lie that Mr. Mao made up about being a “successful person in the IT industry” also stemmed from his unwillingness to speak directly.

183 Talent Market

As the most popular place at present -

One of the main city islands, Sangley, is actually a beautiful island with gentle weather and beautiful sunshine.

It is close to the center of the world, but it seems to represent the entire southern sea area.

Sanglai serves as a gateway between both sides, and its warm climate and natural environment have attracted large organizations like the "Youshi Chamber of Commerce" to establish a branch here. Of course, due to its advantageous location, it will also be convenient for players to travel if they decide to demolish it.

“Completely different from Shimla Bakken…” the deer muttered to itself, its scenery in full view.

"Each has its own advantages."

Yu Man gently stroked the Ice Prison Dragon's back, and it slowly lowered its altitude.

At the same time, because the landing is about to begin, Yu Man talked about the first thing that needs attention.

"Lu, you're not a novice anymore. You've reached level eight and have enough equipment. It's time to learn some new knowledge... Try to gather all your equipment and your own magic power deep within your soul and keep a low profile."

"...That sounds troublesome."

"You don't want to be surrounded by hundreds of thousands of players as soon as you land, do you?"

Xiaolu nodded and could only start to feel it little by little according to Yu Man’s instructions.

Fortunately, she was very talented, and because her soul was too immersed in the old world, she quickly understood what Yu Man meant.

Whether it was the strong spirit brought by the profession or the oppressive force emitted by the entire set of equipment, they were all gone without a trace.

"Yes, Not Bad."

Yu Man took out a piece of gray-white linen, something like a bed sheet, and draped it over the deer. Then he used ice to make buttons, making it into a simple cloak, hiding the appearance of the equipment.

"One of the core principles of PVE is to keep a low profile." This is the truth that Yu Man knows.

She did so.

He hid his entire body's aura very deeply and wrapped himself in the same linen cloth.

"Xiao Bing, when we land at the beach later, you must also completely converge your domain and follow us."

"Brother, there are so many foreigners... and they are very eager to fight."
