Is the person you sculpt as cute as me?

But the deeper you go, the more acute the atmosphere becomes.

The already cold air seemed to have solidified into a blade, and the deeper you got, the sharper it became.

——That was the pressure from the regional leader and also the temptation of wealth.

Feeling the pressure, Yu Man slowed down his breathing, but a question suddenly popped up in his mind.

As the undisputed ecological leader in this area, does the regional leader know that from now on, his stability will no longer exist?

……

(Okay, update started!

I will probably keep updating daily for the time being. This book is easy to write, and I have plenty of time, so it will go smoothly this time.

I've added some new touches to the writing, but it should still have the same flavor. So, if you're interested in this book, please vote for it. I'd like to thank you!

003·Rainbow color

The snow is... a little lighter.

As an experienced veteran player, Yu Man immediately realized that this was a sign of danger.

In the outer areas, the number and range of monsters are limited, so the snow along the way is relatively thick.

But after arriving at the territory of the regional leader, the density of the monsters under his command increased dramatically and the patrol area became quite large.

Their tracks even blocked the accumulation of snow, making it difficult to continue using the previous method and advance through their blind spots.

"No one's farming, the monsters are denser than expected..."

Normally, you have to fight your way in here, and these wild monsters can also provide good experience gains... but that requires a strong and well-formed individual level, or a complete team.

Fortunately, this game is not rigid.

She first retreated under a tree and hid herself in its shadow.

"Time to use my little tricks for solo players."

Even in the first round, during her three-year gaming career, she was the world's top player in single-player PVE. Otherwise, she wouldn't have reached this new second round.

The first step is to reach the deepest part of the territory, which requires concealing your whereabouts.

She put down her staff and rolled up her left sleeve.

On the slender wrist, a black bracelet sparkles with magical brilliance in the snowy sky.

This is the professional token of an enchanter - every adventurer profession has a similar token, of course, each with its own use.

And this enchanter bracelet can give her the ability to create magical materials.

"activation."

Suddenly, the magic in her petite body connected with the world through it.

She seemed to be part of nature and in communion with it.

She stretched out her surprisingly small hand to greet the six petals of snow falling from the sky.

They were light and tiny, and then melted away because of the girl's body temperature.

But soon, the will of magic began to communicate with them——

In just a few seconds, they were transformed into a handful of broken ice, which is also the lowest-level ice and snow enchantment material.

This is the Enchanter's gathering function - "Enchanting Nature".

Yu Man held them carefully, then took off her boots and socks with one hand, and her bare feet were forced to sink into the snow.

"—Give it the gift of silence...Give it the gift of climbing to the top."

She crushed the enchanting material into even smaller pieces, and with a command full of magic, it was scattered on the boots and socks that still had body temperature.

They quickly merged with each other, emitting a faint chill and magic.

"Okay, done."

Lasts an hour...very good.

After checking the condition, Yu Man breathed a sigh of relief. The experience from his previous life was still working.

After putting them back on, Yu Man used the same method to enchant the clothes, pants, half-finger gloves, and staff with various necessary items.

Fortunately, she was the only one in this area, otherwise someone would definitely take the opportunity to attack her.

……

After making sufficient preparations, she set out again.

Yu Man is only one hour long, but that should be enough.

Her boots no longer made any sound as they moved through the snow, and her figure seemed to be wrapped in white snow, blurry.

As long as she doesn't get too close, or actively attack monsters, or make unnatural sounds, the monsters here will not be able to detect her given their level.

Yu Man no longer shook off the snow from her hair and shoulders, because she was completely focused on what was to come next.

Or rather—in the scenery before my eyes.

Standing in the pale... a black watchtower.

The falling snow seemed to be avoiding it and did not assimilate it with its white color.

Perhaps it’s because the regional leader sits there… probably at the very top.

But this wasn't a dungeon, just a kind of outdoor camp. It was precisely because of this mechanism that Yu Man had the possibility of soloing that thing.

She avoided the last group of patrolling monsters and arrived at the bottom of the tower.

The intense pressure almost turned into a heat wave, reaching a level that stung his skin. But Yu Man didn't mind. It was just a level difference, no big deal.

She stretched out her hand and pressed it against the tower. The overwhelming cold bit her bones, but the enchanted "climb to the peak" effect was still in effect.

Like a gecko, like a fluttering butterfly.

She lightly began to climb the watchtower.

The lines and gaps in the black stone bricks are all within easy reach.

She climbed very carefully, sometimes looking at the bottom of the tower and the tower body, and sometimes looking at the upper levels.

Fortunately, this was the monsters' blind spot. They only deployed heavy troops to guard the perimeter of their territory and the entrances and exits of the watchtower, and were not worried about anyone climbing the tower.

Because there was no need to worry about danger, Yu Man quickly climbed to the top of the target area.

Inside the stone bricks here, there is only the leader's room, nothing else.

Normally, if you want to defeat the boss, players will start from the bottom and climb up little by little before they can reach here and fight the boss... You can even say that this is the romance of the players.

But since the server had just launched, she had to do whatever it took to make progress! This was her romance.

The next part is the difficult part.

The top of the tower is a strange decoration and no one can stand on it. However, it is easy to find a small bump in the cracks between the bricks to use as a foothold.

After gaining his footing, Yu Man felt around on the brick surface and, based on the pressure from it, roughly estimated the leader's exact location.

Then, based on her understanding of bosses like the "Rebel Leader", she climbed to a new position, right above the other party's head.

OK - it's pretty easy from here on out.

She took out the Ice Staff from her back. This thing gave the user three skills, namely "Ice Cone" and "Local Snowfall". Simple single-target attack and group attack.

But the third skill is a unique skill given by the weapon's name.

"Ice, Freeze"

"It can be frozen or thawed at the user's will."

The description is just one line, but once you use it you'll understand why it's such a handy skill.

For example, Yu Man is now using this skill on a brick in front of him.

After intense quick freezing, thaw.

Soon, its relationship with the surrounding bricks... broke down.

The thing that glued them together became ineffective due to rapid freezing, and it came loose and was carefully removed by Yu Man.

Gaining vision, she was able to look down into the boss room below.

——Candlelight.

Faint candlelight filled the entire room, and a spotless red carpet was laid out in the center.

There was also a chair covered with scars, standing on it.

All of this was created for him to sit on.

The master of this land, the rebel leader, "Winter Late Musician" Blom Judah.

A thin man wearing luxurious silver armor sat there casually, with disheveled hair and a messy beard.

His left hand held the hilt of the sword, and his right hand was not wearing any gauntlet. He would touch the wine bottle from time to time, but he did not drink.

"So flashy..." Yu Man thought to herself.

Unlike players who drop whatever they wear when they die, no matter how damn exquisitely these bosses are dressed, they can't be taken away in the end...

Therefore, the player's income mainly comes from the treasure chests he owns and guards.

But that thing is very luck-based, with four value tiers: gold, silver, bronze—and rainbow… huh?

Yu Man was stunned because she caught a glimpse of a color that shouldn't exist... rainbow?

The rainbow-colored spot of light passed through his vision lightly, but when he came to his senses, Yu Man's heart even skipped a beat.

Her eyes immediately became as sharp as a knife, and she looked down at every detail of the room with undisguised greed. Finally, she saw the iridescent box, placed under the wine table, with only a hint of color showing through.

"How come...it's actually rainbow-colored?"

She wouldn't be wrong, that was the color all players were pursuing.

The myriad colors that make up the rainbow all seem to emanate from metal, possessing a natural, instantly recognizable nobility.

Although he is only the leader of the illegal area around the main city, the rainbow box he guards is undoubtedly of exaggerated value at this stage of the server opening.

Speaking of which——Yu Man thought carefully.

The color of this thing, according to the mechanism discovered by players, is essentially based on the boss's survival time, in addition to a very small amount of luck. But at the beginning of the server, this guy only survived for less than an hour...

No—Yu Man suddenly understood.

This world was actually created a long time ago. Players were summoned as pioneers and came here by ship, and who knows how much time has passed since then.

It turns out that the criterion for appreciation is actually this time.

She was extremely confident in this conclusion because she didn't trust her luck and didn't expect to encounter a rainbow box as soon as the server was launched.

But Yu Man quickly dismissed these distracting thoughts, because she wasn't 100% sure she could pull it off. If she wasn't focused enough, her chances of success would be greatly reduced.

The thing to do is simple - a humidifier.

She first shook off the snow on her body, then used her staff to gently thaw it, turning it into a light vapor and breathing it into the room.

This simple repetition took a full ten minutes.

The accumulation of moisture can be judged by the traces of frost in the corners of the room. Without sufficient moisture, the staff will not be powerful enough.

That’s about it – next up…

Holding back her increasingly intense heartbeat, she passed her staff through the hole and gently pointed it downwards, right at the sitting rebel leader.

She held her breath—

Then, infused with strong magical power——

"Local snowfall."

The sharp, heavy snowflakes were given a completely different power by magic.
