Is the person you sculpt as cute as me?

These are all big and troublesome problems.

They are a small group that relies on fawns for support, and it is really troublesome for them to recruit top players in a serious manner.

"Senior Cat, when can you fight at your own expense?"

"...Aren't you doing this just for me?"

"Yeah, well, can you come early?"

Senior Cat thought Xiaoman was confused, so he continued to watch the game silently and ignored her.

But anyway - based on Senior Cat's experience.

This kind of thing often only requires an old saying.

"There's always a way out when you're in front of a mountain, Xiaoman."

"Alright, alright."

……

After lunch, there was no competition content that interested her, so Yu Man returned to the old world.

There’s only one month left… It’s quite stressful when I think about it, but we have to take things one step at a time.

In the gentle afternoon breeze, the Mage Tower shimmers with a high-end color - very charming.

Xiaolu sat on the top of the Mage Tower, learning the Old World language with the "Fate Changer" and Xiaobing.

After fighting together all night last night, although they didn't defeat the damn eel, their relationship was much better than before, and it had reached the stage where they could even ask each other for advice in the Old World language.

The same is true for "Fortune Changer" - at the beginning, I don't know how to get along with the other person.

But Xiaolu's learning talent and concentration far exceeded her expectations.

So much so that she brought up something called responsibility and wanted to teach her this language well.

Yu Man looked at them——

"Hey... come down, come down, stop learning."

The three of them looked at each other.

"Alas, this is the inner demon that hinders learning."

Xiaolu's words made everyone laugh, but they all gladly accepted the inner demon's invitation.

Seeing everyone coming down, Yu Man got straight to the point -

"Lu, I'll give you that tenth-level weapon, the mask of the 'Illusionist'."

"Ah?" The little deer was stunned.

Yu Man waved his hand and said, "Don't worry about the secondary profession, just use that one." Then he made Senior Mao's words his own and repeated them.

Xiaolu was easily persuaded - she always listened to Yu Man.

This time is even more so.

The flattery of words like "You are the strongest output", "You will be invincible in the world", and "The strongest single player in history" made Xiaolu start to imagine the future.

"Then why did the eel make such a sudden decision?" The deer noticed the subtle changes.

"Because we will be competing in a month."

"... Doesn't that mean we're still short of two teammates?"

"There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain."

"As expected of an eel, so calm."

Yu Man accepted the compliment without any modesty, glanced around, and asked, "Where are the flowers?"

Xiaolu pointed to a place not far away and said, "She's going to build a house. She said she really dreams of having her own single-family home on an island. It's right by the sea at the foot of our mountain, quite close."

"Well, then, call up Hua, and let's go back to Shimlabakken and build a guild."

“…Meah?”

Yu Man hesitated for a moment, but didn't explain her intention to cheat. "Look, there are three of us now. It's very troublesome to chat privately with each other when something happens. In the guild, we can use the same channel to communicate with each other. It's very convenient."

After all, this cheating tactic is just a precaution.

Xiaolu didn't care what the reason was, she just excitedly grasped the key -

"I'll be the guild leader! You'll be my main general."

"...Okay, okay."

Whatever... Yu Man is fine with whatever he wants.

Xiaolu was excited again: "I'll be responsible for recruiting people! I guarantee we'll become the strongest guild!"

"No, brother, just the three of us are enough..."

"Yeah, yeah. I wanted to rule the world, but spending real money in this game isn't going to do much, so forget it. Now, the most important question is... what's the name of the guild?"

This is a problem.

If Yu Man was the one building it, he would probably just type something in.

But the little deer regarded it as a precious thing and took it completely seriously.

"How about Jiandui Lulu's charity?" Yu Man joked casually, "It helped me, the cat, and the flowers down there."

"...Not straight enough." The deer was dissatisfied.

This was a topic that interested the "Fate Changer" because she also knew that after the guild was established, this island would become a guild island, and they would live under the same flag and the same name.

She suggested, "How about ending with a society? Like praising the might of the Great Promise Keeper, reaching an unknown society, or something like that?"

"It smells too strong." The little deer was still not satisfied.

"Then tell me..."

"To commemorate our first morning tea together, and the many times we'll have it in the future, how about calling it 'Snake Restaurant'?"

"...What a ridiculous name." Yu Man was confused. "Where did snakes come from?"

"Didn't you kill a snake and dig me out?"

It really is.

Is this the commemorative significance?

Wow, if I were to compete with a name like that and hear the passionate introductions—

"Next up is the Snake Restaurant team!"

Then they come on stage - isn't it a bit humiliating?

Yu Man was about to argue, but Xiaolu was already lost in his own world. "Okay, this is it! It's very memorable. Let's go to Shimla Bakken! Hua--out!"

"Don't use that lousy name, boss!"

……

Senior Cat finished watching another game.

Ordinary, common, with no highlights at all.

But it was still fun to watch.

In the past, I also won my first victory in such a competition and won a lot of honor, praise and wealth.

And then—walk into the depths of this world and lose everything.

But now there is a chance to start over.

It licked its fur gently as it thought about the future.

"Xiao Man, how far can you and I go this time?"

……

ps

(Alas, I spent too much time thinking about the plot, and I only have enough time to write one chapter shamefully. Come on, future me.)

216·Setting foot on homeland

Travel outward—not always on the wings of the Ice Dragon.

Yu Man also left a good ship for the port of Lumanaseti.

"Deer, how many fish can you catch in just under an hour's sail?"

“Trust the traveler.”

This large merchant ship, which looks quite luxurious, has to be traced back to the "Youshi Chamber of Commerce".

Although they have passed away now, they did provide a lot of help to Yu Man at the time. Those two ships of goods were really a great help.

Even now, the legacy of the "Youshi Chamber of Commerce" is still helping Yu Man, and this reliable ship has become one of their options for sailing.

Especially when Xiaobing takes a bath, or when Xiaolu wants to go fishing.

"Hana, you're an alchemist, right?"

"Well, what happened?"

The little deer was working with fishing gear on the deck. As soon as the boat set sail, she excitedly started to get busy with fishing.

There is nothing to do on the road - this has become a traveler's dream trip.

It means that Yu Man will no longer impulsively come up with all kinds of things, forcing her to put away her fishing gear and go to kill people or monsters after just casting the hook. Instead, she can happily and simply enjoy this worry-free fishing trip.

"Can you help me mix some fishing gear? The kind that makes fish go crazy when you sprinkle it on them?"

"...I, I haven't unlocked a similar formula before, so I really don't know this."

The alchemist was very embarrassed by the traveler's request.

Yu Manxin said that preparing a bottle of tenth-level poison to poison all the fish in the entire sea seemed to meet the requirements.

The one steering the ship is the reflection of the old world summoned by Yu Man.

After completing two 10.4 copies a few days ago, she gained a huge amount of specialization points.

She has already maxed out all the armor she needs, and put the rest into [Promise Keeper], pushing it to a level roughly similar to level seven.

Although it is still a little short of maxing out, if I play another 10.4 dungeon, the expertise I earn will probably be enough.

Even if there are no more 10.4 dungeons to play, they can now crush the eighth and ninth level dungeons. They can earn enough expertise by playing more than ten or twenty dungeons, but it will be a bit tiring.

Therefore, she can now call upon those competent reflections of the old world at a lower cost and with greater precision, allowing them to do more and more things... even help steer the ship.

Hidden professions are worthy of being called hidden professions, and can be called omnipotent.

"Now that we have plenty of time, I will tell you first."

Yu Man casually made a chair out of ice, and the angler who was helping out and responsible for the scoop net stayed beside the deer.

Then he continued to speak to them.

"The tournament we're going to play starts in a month. It's called the Spring Tournament, and it's a top-tier event. There are only two tournaments a year, one in the Spring and one in the Summer. Plus the Rainbow Crystal League in the winter at the end of the year, it's considered the three main events of the year."

Liu Tong Qi Hua listened carefully. She also did a lot of homework and knew that it was the key to changing her destiny.

The deer just held the fishing rod in his right hand and the old Esperanto textbook in his left hand, not paying much attention.

But her attitude is actually like this -

"Eel, you've mentioned it several times - so I know very well that this game is very important to you."

"Well, it's really important."

Xiaolu turned his eyes away from the textbook and glanced at Yu Man.

He looked away again and just spoke quietly.

"So, we're still two players short, right? It doesn't matter who you want to sign, and it doesn't matter how much it costs. I'll give you a card, and I'll always be confident you can do anything. I'll also do my best to help you, so go ahead and do it."

"……it is good."

Xiaolu thought for a moment and then said, "In order to avoid being unfair to Hua, I will also give you corresponding wages when the time comes. I won't let those who came first suffer any loss."
