Is the person you sculpt as cute as me?

For Liu Tong Qi Hua, this is her most precious thing.

……

There is still some time before the competition, and the troubles that Liutongqihua hates will not come yet.

She still goes with Xiaolu every day to take 70 and Blackbird to high-difficulty dungeons.

As their expertise and equipment gradually increased and they became a solid fighting force, Xiaolu was even leading them to fight in higher-level dungeons.

Unlike before, Liutongqihua finally has a place to show her strengths. Xiaolu will lose health, the team will be under pressure, and she may even be targeted by strange things.

But I can handle it.

Although the eels didn't come as usual, it was actually a good thing for them.

Liu Tong Qi Hua knew very well that if Eel suggested "let's go to the next dungeon together", things would be bad.

What will greet them is bound to be a copy so horrifying that they can only lament their own insignificance.

and so--

That's fine.

……

In Liu Tong Qi Hua's heart, she knows all her teammates like the back of her hand.

The little deer always shouts passionate words, but he is very smart and will not lead anyone to death.

She always takes care of all the details, always wields the sharpest sword, and stands at the forefront.

Blackbird, like today, often talks about movies, novels, and even cartoons.

Although the bird language is difficult to understand, she can often easily tell the key to the copy, as if forcing everyone to listen to her.

Besides that, the banner in her hand is really helpful. It turns out that having a reliable assistant can make the dungeon so much more comfortable.

70’s words——He is the closest person to Liutongqihua.

Because they are of similar age and are both girls.

From the time 70 joined the team to her development till now, Liu Tong Qi Hua has always been with her.

One is a key treatment, the other is a key support, and both are players standing in the back row, so of course the relationship between them is very good.

The key is that 70 is also very good at playing games. He is an extremely reliable teammate and even has a natural leadership temperament... This is what Liu Tong Qi Hua yearns for.

The eels are their helmsmen.

It seems like it will disappear at any moment and fly to the sky that no one can reach.

But she is still here, which is reassuring.

……

Liu Tong Qi Hua was looking forward to it - and today was supposed to be like this.

Unfortunately - the expectations were dashed.

……

"Flowers." It's 70.

She came to the shore with ice drinks and distributed them to everyone while casually chatting about something.

"Is your passport okay?"

"Ah... a passport?"

A terrifying topic, of course.

But it arrived earlier than expected.

"Huh? You didn't do it? It's already this late." 70 read something bad from her expression.

"...It's so early? Isn't there still some time before the competition?"

70 stood in front of Liu Tong Qi Hua and told her the details in a rational tone.

"This is an offline competition. We have to travel across the country as a whole and have a lot of things to do outside of the competition. Simply put, it is very important to adapt to the local climate, hotels, food and local customs."

"Indeed...it's important."

"Well, not only that, this is an official competition, so there's definitely some promotional stuff involved, like official photos, interviews, investigations, inspections, and so on. We're not a club or a professional team, so we don't have any sponsor-related commercial content, which saves us a lot of trouble, but we still have to go there well in advance."

She weaves tons of trouble with her words.

Liu Tong Qi Hua's eyelids were twitching, as if she had eaten something spicy and was hyperventilating, and her face began to feel numb.

"So, passport?" 70 asked.

"...I'll go offline and do it right now, so as not to cause...anyone any trouble. I'll do my best."

"Wait a minute—" 70 looked at the deer. "Fisherman, where should we meet? Birds and Flowers are both foreigners. Should we go to the local area?"

The deer put away his fishing rod and said more seriously than anyone else: "No, traveling alone is too uncertain. Either we all come to where Eel and I are, or we go find flowers?"

70 nodded. "Then let's go to your place first—Hua. If you can't figure it out, please tell me immediately and I'll help you solve the problem."

"……Understood."

She looked at the blackbird again: "Bird, what do you say?"

Blackbird and Liutongqihua were not much different, as if choking. "T-This problem... I can probably solve it, maybe... but... real money is really a problem. If... I could exchange gold coins for real money, then my problem wouldn't be a problem... but..."

Seeing the miserable state of the blackbird, 70 couldn't even hold back his laughter.

This time, they all understood what he said.

"I understand what you mean. You don't have money for a plane ticket. Give me your contact information and I'll take care of it."

Alas—alas.

Blackbird finally accepted it: "Artists do need someone to help take care of the details, so... your glorious name will definitely be included in the special thanks in the future." This was already her awkward way of saying thank you.

"Thank you 70 for your help." Liu Tong Qi Hua was a little more generous.

"It doesn't matter. Someone has to step in and put things in order—what about Boss Deer, you and Uncle Eel?"

"Peace of mind."

……

In order to deal with the passport issue, Liu Tong Qi Hua hurriedly went offline.

Say goodbye to the island that is like home and return to the home that is like a garbage dump.

"...passport...passport."

Compared to myself in the game, reality is so inconvenient.

Her fingers were trembling as she frantically searched for travel guides on her phone.

A large number of terms that should have nothing to do with her, complicated precautions and application contents, made her brain work at high speed. This was much more difficult than arranging a treatment axis... Life - is so difficult.

But Liutongqihua knew very well that there was something even more difficult.

--parents.

……

Take a deep breath and sigh.

Another deep breath - but the rhythm was blown away by the messy heart.

Liu Tong Qi Hua curled up against the wall, feeling extremely worried.

To make matters worse, she heard the noises of her own child upstairs and disturbed her parents who were supposed to be preparing for business downstairs.

"What's wrong? Flowers."

“…I’m…fine.”

The mother opened the door and wiped the flour off her hands worriedly.

This doesn't look like everything is alright.

"that."

Contrary to what they expected, their child suddenly spoke, as if he had made up all his mind and given up on himself.

"I'm going to be away for a while...I have to go."

"Ugh?"

"Where?"

Facing their parents, Liu Tong Qi Hua successively said the names of two countries.

She didn't dare look at their expressions, knowing they were full of confusion.

"I have to participate in the competition and meet my teammates...so...the competition is very important." She spoke intermittently, and suddenly thought of a key point and suddenly shouted, "My teammates will help me pay for the plane ticket! Don't worry! I...I will definitely earn back the prize money, so...don't worry about that."

A debt-ridden family and a high school girl who dropped out of school.

To travel far from the countryside and to countries that only appear in the news.

To participate in game competitions.

What is this...

"Teammate?" The mother was very worried.

"Yeah... they're all very nice people. Besides successful IT professionals, there's also a Nordic poet... ah, and there are girls my age too, so it's no problem."

She herself also felt like laughing. Is this okay?

But I still have to say it out loud, it's much better than lying.

Liu Tong Qi Hua knew very well that being a parent was the most difficult hurdle for them to overcome.

She was ready to have a big fight and then go on alone.

"Well - we're going to take pictures. Do you want to go now?" Unexpected words came out of my father's mouth.

"Ugh?"

"Don't we need to get a passport first? Going abroad is really troublesome, but when I went to Italy—" He habitually wanted to tell a story about his youth, but his elderly father interrupted him, "Let's go, we still have to fill out the application form, let's go and get it done early."

"……Is it really possible?"

"Go ahead. It's your freedom to go wherever you want. Since it's where you want to go."

"I also need to prepare travel clothes for you. Oh, I'll go see if my old suitcase can still be used..."

……

No fancy makeup and clothes, no cool headphones playing English songs.

The country girl high school student's first trip away from home was filled with endless anxiety and a little bit of anticipation.

airplane--

The ears feel very uncomfortable and the seat is very narrow.

The airplane food was completely different from what I imagined, and I felt a little dizzy when I sat up.

There was a mixture of body odors from so many people that I didn't dare go to the bathroom... There were cockroaches crawling outside the window.

Without internet, I can’t play Old World, so I can only sit and read Chinese textbooks.

However, many people were talking about the old world...she could understand.

The flight attendant is very beautiful and has a great figure. Can I grow up to be such a beautiful woman in the future?

Then - landed in Guangzhou.

Exotic air, the legendary metropolis.

A terrifying crowd of people flowed through the beautiful and grand building.

Liu Tong Qi Hua were at a loss as to what to do as they followed the crowd, so nervous that their brains were completely unable to work.

Only an agreement made before departure kept echoing in her heart. It was her only life-saving straw.

"The Eel God said he would come get me."
