Is the person you sculpt as cute as me?

Serenade is planning to embark on an adventure, to meet the deer in Shimla Bakken, or to go to the arena to feel the past.

Anyway, according to her estimation, Yu Man would not come back within 108,000 years, but would enjoy a date with the fire dragon...

only--

"——Is Yu Man at home?" Unexpectedly, an important person came to visit.

Without any warning, it appeared quietly and suddenly.

"Time".

A gloomy beauty, with blonde hair so light that it is almost colorless and spread out casually.

This was the first time Serenade had seen her in the Old World, and it was even more shocking than in reality.

That incredible, indescribable sense of existence accumulated in her soul.

No—that is the Godhead.

A godhead that transcends everything.

In Serenade's cognition, "Time" is undoubtedly the strongest being in the world, a strong being that she feels inferior to and cannot understand.

In the playthrough she failed to complete, he existed in the background as the ultimate boss. But now, at the beginning of this playthrough, he suddenly and terrifyingly appeared...

"Oh? Serenade..."

Shi Guang raised his eyebrows slightly, a hint of surprise.

Even for her, the name "Going against All Things" is profound enough.

For her, this was also a very meaningful meeting.

Can--

Her first reaction was—

"What a weird name," she said with a look of disgust. "It feels like a stranger... It doesn't feel right at all. The familiarity has been completely wiped out... You could call me Triple Crown King, or Senior Cat, or Sixth Cat, but why call me something like that..."

"...No, no, no, this is my ID, huh? It's just that 'Going Against Everything' is more famous."

Serenade looked aggrieved. Why was this the first sentence he said when they met?

But "Time" itself is not much better, especially with the guild name of "Snake Restaurant".

"Never mind. It's just that when I read your story, I was reading it from the heroine's perspective. She always called you Cat Senior, and you never formally introduced your ID, so I'm a little unfamiliar with it—hmm... This is a bit of a letdown."

"What are you talking about?" Serenade was confused.

"Time" shook his head, remembering that she had passed the level in another way.

If Yu Man had not confessed, Serenade would not have known the meaning of "discarded manuscript".

No wonder.

"Nothing much, just a few words from a 'reader'. Welcome, Cat Laoliu."

"Thank you... Time."

Shi Guang looked around: "Where's Yu Man? I didn't find her in the story. It's weird."

"……what?"

"She said she would give me $800 million to praise my film. But then there was no further news. I was curious so I looked up the story, but I couldn't find it. So I came here - where is she?"

"She went on a date with the dragon."

"...Fire Dragon? Oh...oh, I see." Time holds a vast amount of secrets, and its comprehension is astonishing. "Then let her be—but you, 'Go Against All Things'."

"What...what happened?"

Facing such a monster, Serenade felt a little uneasy.

She became less sharp.

Time punctured her story: "You're planning to take Yu Man to the Millennium Ceremony to prevent the birth of the fourth of the Three Secrets. This isn't very interesting."

because--

"It's hard to imagine what kind of monster would be born if Yu Man snatched the sacrifice that was supposed to create the fourth of the Three Secrets, as you planned. That wouldn't be fun."

……

ps

(I am a waste, sob.)

281·Thanks to the boss’ treasure chest!

A ship was sailing quietly on the sea, and its path shattered the moon in the water.

It was a gorgeous little boat, built with great care.

Carrying enough people to match it.

"Lu... Boss Lu... You mean—that... that top expert who took the initiative to invite me to join the team has now come to the Old World, right?"

"Yeah, we were chatting in the guild. It was this guy called Serenade."

On the way back from Shimla Bakken, the little deer yawned while night fishing and chatted with the nervous Liutong Qihua.

They celebrated their 70th admission, but the latter was haunted by the fact that they had "watched" and it seemed that they would never be able to get out of it.

As for those in small guilds and small groups, they naturally walked home leisurely.

Although it is not as fast as the Ice Prison Dragon, this small boat built by the world's number one shipbuilder can still easily ride the wind and waves.

However, the time required to travel back and forth between neighboring islands such as Himlabakken and Rumana Seti is actually quite fast.

Compared to those office workers who spend their lives in first-tier cities and barely make a living, the time they spend commuting to and from get off work every day is actually longer than the round trip time.

"But, Boss Lu...why haven't I heard of that master before?"

"It was a long time ago, or so I heard. Now I've opened a new account and am back in the game. It's probably like being a beta tester... You know?"

After hearing this, Liu Tong Qi Hua immediately understood.

A lot of things immediately made sense.

She even asked a question: "Captain Eel too?"

"It's more complicated, but similar. This is confidential and cannot be told to anyone else. Anyway, only the people in our Snake Restaurant know about it. Do you understand?"

After saying that, the deer hung the fishing rod on the wooden wall and made a throat-slitting gesture with his free fingers.

Not only that, she also used her sharp eyes and fierce facial expressions to intimidate the Sakura girl.

"...I understand." Liu Tong Qi Hua was nervous and scared.

When the little deer saw that the joke was taken seriously, he immediately ran over to comfort her.

Fortunately, they have become accustomed to this in the days since they met.

After a while, following the traces of moonlight, their boat gently docked and returned to the rich silence of Lumanaseti.

……

The surrounding territories have now been connected into one piece and are all under the rule of "Xiankan".

The rule of "Xiankan" is very good. Instead of fighting meaninglessly, everyone would rather prosper together.

In addition, the Huiyou Chamber of Commerce, the NPC chamber of commerce that served Yu Man, has now completely taken over all the business previously handled by the Youshi Chamber of Commerce. After Yu Man eliminated the troublesome pirates, everything became stable.

Of course, there are also many ambitious players around here.

But the old world is so vast, and those ambitions always go further.

There are many small guilds that have no combat power or need to be developed, and they are all accommodated in the sixth-level islands provided by "Xiankan".

You only need to pay a sum of money and ensure that you abide by the rules, and you can get a better development environment than the main city island.

Therefore, many newcomers from all over the world gathered on the same island and joined the same alliance, making it very lively and even as lively as a main city.

All the output of the players there will be purchased first by "Xiankan" and "Huiyou Chamber of Commerce".

The latter has a stable industrial chain, sales channels, and mature transportation capabilities.

Newbies can also quickly cash in the supplies they produce from dungeons, gathering, and field battles.

This mutually beneficial behavior makes prosperity even greater.

only--

Inevitably, many novices will discover one thing.

In the vast and magnificent territory of "Xiankan", there is only one thing like a nail, stuck in the middle of all the territory.

Lumana Seti.

On the map, the island has this name.

Ships sailing from Himlabakken have seen the island from afar.

According to him, it was at least level eight, tranquil and bountiful. Yet, Xiankan didn't claim it as his territory. Instead, he consistently ignored it, never allowing anyone to mention it. Over time, the island became a kind of sacred place, untouchable and unspeakable, a place no one could truly explain.

until today.

In the Novice Alliance, there is a guild that aspires to become a great guild and establish its own territory in the Old World.

The "Big Big Train", commonly known as "BBT" guild, issued a strange internal announcement.

“After a month of growth, our growth period is over.

We were invincible in fights in our territory, and even had a back-and-forth with the "Watching" team.

After a lot of dungeons and collection output, we even have quite a good amount of wealth, which is enough to support us in fighting.

It's time to end these days of living under someone else's roof and stay away from those casual players who only know how to pursue pleasure.

We are no longer tenants; we will transform into a combat guild and acquire our own territory."

then--

The "BBT" union withdrew from the casual tenants' union and declared itself independent.

Then, they had already planned the territory they wanted.

It would be better to say——

"I don't understand, why is no one wanting such a good piece of land?"

The president of "BBT" thought about this question for a day and a night before setting off.

And in his eyes, that wonderful unowned land was the island called Lumana Seti.

Located next to the craftsman's holy land, Shimlabakken, it is said to have a magic level of more than rank eight.

Furthermore, it had never had any negative reputation. No ships had been destroyed by the terrifying creatures that inhabited it, no powerful forces had taken root there... In short, if there had been any, the players renting nearby would have known about the danger long ago.

Even stranger than this is—

The island had no presence and everyone deliberately ignored it.

"I've asked the veteran players who've been playing since the server was launched, and they all told me not to go to that island, but they couldn't explain why..."

"The NPC in Shimlabakken said that there used to be an evil dragon living there, but it was destroyed by the gods. I can tell right away that it's the background and setting of the story."

"A friend of mine who just joined 'Xiankan' told me that they occasionally have trade routes to that island, and it's said that the danger level is zero."

Combined with the information collected—

The president of "BBT" recalled his school days.

There are always some people who are isolated by the atmosphere, and then no one wants to break the atmosphere.

And this island, enveloped in an atmosphere of convention that no one can break, has faded into the air and been ignored on the map.

And "BBT" is ready to break this atmosphere.

So, on this night of leaving the alliance——

All seventy people in their guild were fully armed.

Tier 5 and 6 equipment, sufficient expertise, and high morale—these will be the reasons for their victory.

Not only that, they prepared a good enough warship and even had a complete team of magicians who could work together to summon large-scale magic such as meteorites.
