Is the person you sculpt as cute as me?

finally--

Ginkgo sighed, "We thought we were at the top of this world...we could plunder and commit crimes at will. It seems...we were greatly mistaken."

……

The top pirate group "Void Shell" was destroyed, and the ending was more bizarre than expected.

No one had any definitive answer to this until much later.

What is known to the world is that one night, their members suddenly and frantically added various victims as friends, expressing their willingness to apologize and compensate, hoping that they could spread the message and let their boss know that they knew they were wrong.

But no one knows that this is because they can't add eel and fried dough rolls.

Not until the news had gone through countless circles and the face of "Empty Shell" was completely lost did it finally reach Yago.

He asked his daughter in confusion, and Yu Man learned from 70 people that they had actually given in a long time ago.

……

Although from now on, pirates will never be destroyed——

But at least for a long time to come, the entire Old World was filled with horrific legends about pirates for unknown reasons.

This legend, as crazy as a curse and deeply rooted in the bones, made it a long time before there appeared such cunning and difficult pirates.

……

And that night Yu Man——

"Thank you for helping me steer the boat."

In order to save the cost of summoning the reflection of the old world to sail the ship, the helmsman of the pirate group was specially "invited" to help.

Of course they agreed.

Then--

He drove his own pirate ship, loaded with all the goods they looted, as well as all the assets that everyone had pooled together, and transported them to a nearby black market island for Yu Man.

He used their channels to sell stolen goods and even sold himself. He just counted out 46,000 gold coins and handed them to Yu Man.

With this as the condition, I finally avoided the fate of being blocked.

only--

There was still a considerable amount of money needed to purchase that strange, unknown "Illusory Nest".

……

On the returning boat, Yu Man was calculating the financial accounts.

"From the novice period until now, the goods I've stockpiled in Shimlabakken... Based on the prices I found on the black market, I roughly estimate they should be worth around 1.3 million gold coins..."

Besides--

"The various artisan booths and workshops in Shimlabakken have accumulated commissions that haven't been paid yet. I estimate it's around a million... What? Lu, you said the gambling booths contributed only 800,000 in commissions? Then let's make it 1.5 million..."

Before this, gold coins are useless.

Yu Man was not interested in it.

Even if he already possessed assets worth a fortune, they would not be enough to exchange for tenth-tier equipment or materials.

Therefore, Yu Man never counted their value in detail, but only knew a rough estimate.

"There's probably still a gap of around three million—oh? 70, you said you could donate one million to me? You guys, Xiankan, are actually that rich? What? You're going to empty your family's coffers to raise this? That's not necessary..."

after all--

"Well, really. I know an old friend who's very rich and loves collecting shiny things. Also... I know there's a church that really likes to collect religious taxes..."

……

ps

(I've been very busy and tired during the Mid-Autumn Festival recently, so I've only updated once, and my work and rest schedule has been weird.

terribly sorry.

I'll resume posting twice a day after this, and I'm sorry for today.)

224·Good Taste

The next day, a refreshing afternoon.

Yu Man watched the game with Senior Cat for the whole morning. "Xiankan" won two consecutive games in the group stage and secured its advancement to the knockout stage.

Perhaps infected by the atmosphere, Yu Man came online leisurely, always feeling that his own territory was more beautiful today than before.

"Are you here?" In the guild channel, Xiaolu, who had already logged in, immediately extended his greetings.

"Good morning!" Liu Tong Qi Hua also typed immediately.

Whether it was “early” is debatable, but it was certainly the beginning of today’s Old World.

Yesterday they successfully wiped out the pirate hideout and brought back a small sum of money, which made everyone in a good mood.

Yu Man slowly walked towards the top floor of the Mage Tower. Without the glass of the windows, the blue of the sky and the sea was even clearer. They blended into the air, and Yu Man gently absorbed them, refreshing and pleasant.

"How's my box?" Yu Man typed.

"Still eating," the deer replied. "I just checked, and I haven't even finished the first treasure chest. I cried while eating, saying I'd never finish it. It felt so pitiful."

"Has he grown up a bit?"

"It seems to be level eight or nine. I can't tell, but it has grown a lot... It cried miserably, but it never stopped talking."

It's really happy - then let it continue eating.

Without saying a word, Xiaolu wrote down all the information he had received that morning.

"70 has moved in too, and built a house next to Hua's. We've been busy with that this morning. I took a break to play a few rounds in the arena, and I'm waiting for you to log in. So, what are you playing today?"

What to play today?

This question is also quite happy.

While Yu Man was pondering, she sniffed the fresh air. The faint smell of the sea tide in it was like salty butter, with a subtle beauty.

"You should train your secondary profession, and then focus on your main profession at level 70. In addition, you need to focus on your secondary profession. In general, that's—"

"Next!" The speed at which the message popped up was enough to feel her happiness.

Yes, next time.

However, Yuman and Xiaolu have slightly different ideas.

"You can now mob dungeons at the eighth and ninth levels. You're no longer solo dungeons. You can play in small groups and team dungeons, and you can gain mastery quickly. The rewards will be great, and dungeons at this level can drop gold. Save tens of thousands for me."

The deer grasped the core: "'You guys'?"

"Yes, the three of you. It's a pity Xiangxiang is still eating, otherwise it would be the four of you." Yu Man continued, "And Xiaobing and I are going on a long trip, I don't know how long it will take... Anyway, I live with you in real life, so don't worry."

"A long journey...without us?"

"You guys need to accumulate specialization skills. Get them up as soon as possible so you can have a better chance of winning the Spring Split. I need Xiaobing to take me, otherwise how am I going to make the long journey... Then it'll just be the three of you."

The fawn was silent for a moment.

Yu Man stared at the guild channel, but a beautiful figure appeared in his peripheral vision.

In a blink of an eye, the little deer rode on the indigo wind, gently walked from the edge of the blue hole, and then landed on the top of the wizard's tower.

"Where are you going?! Tell me first—I'm the guild leader after all! Guild laborers are taking unexplained leave and escaping from guild building activities..."

To ask this, she flew here specially...

But Yu Man also felt very comfortable being able to bathe in the refreshing afternoon with her and watching her indigo become the third blue besides the sea and the sky.

"I'm going to go find Lao Huo and see if I can get 10 million gold coins. She should have a lot of assets. After all, she's a wealthy aristocrat from the Old World."

"...Is that the Fire Dragon sister from last time?"

"Yeah." Yu Man didn't feel anything was wrong and continued, "You guys should just develop rapidly on the island. There's no other place like this in the world."

Although Xiaolu probably doesn't know it, there are restrictions on opening dungeons in the Old World.

If activated in the form of tokens, admission tickets, or treasure maps, the levels and types of dungeons that can be opened on the main city island are limited.

After all, every time a copy is opened, it means chaos in space and time.

If a dungeon of too high difficulty were to descend upon the main city, it would likely cause chaos within the city's system itself. After all, above the tenth level, those monsters possessed divine authority, and could even be said to be creating their own mini-systems.

Therefore, an overseas territory where players can build their own ecosystem becomes quite important.

Medium-sized guilds can usually obtain ordinary sixth-level territories by joining alliances and helping each other.

This is enough for them to reach the eighth level, which is more than enough for most players.

But if they want to play the ninth-level copy, they need to borrow the seventh-level territory.

Either they could accumulate mana, manage the island, and upgrade their own territory, or they could join the alliance to seize a seventh-level territory so that all members could use it to fight difficult dungeons.

However, this involves a security issue.

Many of the dungeons opened overseas are similar to the "Youshi Chamber of Commerce" branch that Yu Man flattened a few days ago. The entrances will not be closed, and the interior is an illegal area, which poses a considerable PVP risk.

and so--

"You can fight as much as you want. We have the Fate Changer watching over the island for you, so why not take advantage of this opportunity to grow as fast as possible?"

"...I don't feel like you do...I can't win?" Xiaolu found an excuse for himself.

"Boss, you're too modest. You're the number one in the arena duel, and the most powerful player in the world..."

The indigo color that lingered on the fawn disappeared, and it became a little blushing instead.

"Isn't that because you're my mentor? Honestly, I just feel like I can just hack and slash around, nothing else... I just play with you, and I've become stronger without realizing it..."

"You've almost been able to keep up with me so far...it's incredible."

Yu Man just speaks the truth.

From the time she was dug out from the snake's belly to today... it's hard to imagine that such encounters can continue to this day.

"So, it's okay for you to take on the responsibility of bringing in the newcomers, right?"

"I'll try my best... I feel completely insecure without you, but thankfully I have Hana here, and with the treatment, I feel much more at ease."

This is true.

From the time we formed the team until now, Liutongqihua has been playing better than I expected.

In Yu Man’s impression, it is no longer “normal milk” but “very good milk”.

"If the flower stinks you up and puts pressure on you, just spray it back."

Yu Man was about to offer some tips on combating stress, but Xiao Lu just laughed it off. "Not really, not really. She received a subsidy for her treatment. She's a nice girl, and she won't let you or me down."

"Alas, treatment allowance."

Lamenting that he had no money to earn, Yu Man said again.

"If you're tired of dungeons, go play in the arena to change your mood and get back on track... Just don't argue, and be a little tolerant if you don't play well."

"Don't worry, just as the great eel god led and tolerated me, I will tolerate everyone."

"Awesome, boss."

However, Xiaolu always believed that——

I am still the beginner who met her by chance and then climbed to the top of the World Tree together with her.

……

Riding on a silver dragon, she embarked on a solo journey.

But this is not a long and arduous journey, it is just a quick visit to visit old friends who I have finally reconnected with.

By the way...see if I can borrow some money.

……

They moved away from Himlabakken and even left the entire southern sea area.

That is the dividing line before entering the western waters.
