Is the person you sculpt as cute as me?

Yu Man predicted the location earlier than the other side's arrival skills and summoned a small snowfall in front of their escape.

Those pure ice blades crushed the delicate flower buds overwhelmingly.

Even if there are any fish that slip through the net, they will be cut in pieces by Yu Man's sword before they grow out.

“…No, impossible…Why can you…how did you do it…?!” the one who arrived from the other side roared.

At this point, he no longer had any chance to retain the guests.

Yu Man and Xiao Lu had also gone down the stairs.

"Goodbye."

However, they could hear a faint tail voice lingering in the upper floors: "All comrades, enter the Black Tower and hunt down the invaders!"

Come to think of it... As a leader, why should you fight alone?

If you try to escape head-on, you will run into the horde of monsters pouring in from outside the black tower.

In that case... Yu Man stopped, having already come up with a plan... although it might result in a more tragic death.

She pulled Xiaode, who looked excited but also uneasy, and hid in the nearest room.

He left the door open only slightly so he could observe his surroundings.

Those who arrived from the other side caught up with me—that’s good.

Calculate the timing well - she gritted her teeth, and despite the loss of her magic power, she still activated the skills of the gloves.

"lively"

Created a mirror image... of a fawn.

"You're here!" The Otherside Arrival raised his staff. "Where's your teammate? Did they abandon you to cover their retreat?"

Yu Man silently instructed the mirror image and immediately ran towards the corner.

The timing was perfect—as the figure turned the corner, the duration of the mirror image ended.

The person who arrived at the other side after chasing after him shouted: "Where are the people?!"

Judging from the noise, he obviously used a bunch of skills randomly again.

Good opportunity—Yu Man immediately grabbed Xiaolu’s (herself) hand and rushed upstairs with her.

Just then, I bumped into a scarecrow who was joining in the fun.

"Ah, you two..."

"Hi, we meet again."

But the greetings of the Spring Festival are not just words, there is also a magic.

Yu Man froze it.

Humph, if it can’t freeze your master, how can it freeze you?

After thinking about it, Yu Man asked Xiang Xiang to open his mouth and eat the popsicle scarecrow.

The little deer next to it warned Xiangxiang that this guy was very mean and might poke its belly with a broom.

The reason to turn back is simple, the treasure chest - but not on this floor.

After all, the opportunity to open it was missed and the guardian was triggered.

If you want to open the box again, you can only kill the person who arrives from the other side.

However—there is more than one treasure chest left in this black tower.

"Where are we going?"

"Go up one level."

Yu Man moved forward without hesitation. Although Xiaolu didn't understand the current situation, he knew that it was okay for him to be with her.

The person who arrived from the other side was the guy who inherited the title of rebel leader and had just come down from the top level.

So... what's the situation with the end-of-level treasure chest now?

They climbed the stairs—longer, steeper...and more luxurious than any other floor.

That was a staircase that Yu Man had never set foot on - but Yu Man had reached its end.

There was no door, only flickering candlelight.

They suppressed their breathing which had become heavier due to excitement and a little fatigue.

The sound of footsteps, which would no longer be concealed, stomped heavily on the top floor of the black tower.

Arrived at the bottom of the level... empty.

"Wow, what a cool room, take screenshots, take screenshots."

"Employer...Employer! The smell of a treasure chest is so strong! So strong!"

"—Don't be impatient."

In Yu Man's eyes, nothing is unfamiliar.

But the perspective is unfamiliar.

She did not look at the candlesticks, the tables and chairs, or the empty hall.

Just looking at the dome——

Among those black bricks, only one was brand new.

Not only that, but it was reinforced several times, and a wire mesh was even woven to cover the entire dome.

To anyone in the world, that is the unique aesthetic of the final boss and part of the environmental rendering.

But she was the only one who knew that all this was just because they were afraid of her.

Yu Man couldn't help but laugh, even bursting into laughter, because this was exactly what she wanted.

It is more valuable than the unattended treasure chest emitting noble purple.

"What are you laughing at?"

"Hey, I won't tell you."

"...Hey, you're hiding this even from your best brother?" Although the person who spoke was a girl who wanted to act like a strong and heroic man...but failed.

They smiled at each other and then walked quickly towards the treasure chest.

However, the chest had already arrived at the location and had been coveting the glory of the treasure chest.

"Can it be opened?" The little deer was looking forward to it.

"You'll know once you open it." In fact, Yu Man also felt the same way.

Although it is not a miraculous rainbow box, its rarity is second only to the purple box, so its value will certainly be extremely high.

The last time I opened the treasure chest here was because I was skipping class... This time I'm skipping class again, haha.

Thinking of this, Yu Man couldn't help laughing again, and then he took the opportunity to - open it.

Successful.

"Oh oh oh, oh oh oh!" The little deer kept taking screenshots.

The experienced Yu Man was already quickly flipping through the spoils.

She didn't know when the person who arrived from the other side would come back...but it didn't matter, she was confident in her hand speed.

First, there was a large bag, made of soft, tough leather, filled with incredibly sweet gold coins. Just by holding it with both hands, Yu Man could tell there were at least 900 gold coins inside... what a rich treasure.

Then there were map fragments, treasure maps...all treasure maps, no copy tokens.

But it’s a pity——

"No equipment, alas."

There is not a single one, which is normal, as the black market has not yet opened.

The amount of materials was also less than Yu Man had imagined.

He thought that he was unlucky this time and just dragged the progress bar to the end.

I just want to see what's hidden in the bottom of the box.

045·Their diaries.

Even for a veteran like Yu Man, it is actually difficult to predict what will come out of the treasure chest.

Especially those hidden in the deepest part, which are called the most valuable items.

They are undoubtedly the most valuable loot in every treasure chest...

But—occasionally, like now, it’s something unexpected.

"……journal?"

Yu Man recited the words on the cover.

It was a book... no, a booklet would be more appropriate. It wasn't brand new, but looked like it was made of aged leather and paper, stitched together recently... the workmanship was crude.

Yu Man also noticed that the words on the cover can be translated by the game system.

In other words, it was not some obscure old Esperanto.

She immediately opened the first page -

On the title page, written in tiny handwriting is the owner's title: The One Who Arrived at the Other Shore.

Oh, it's the diary of the successor leader! This really made Yu Man very interested.

The other party is a poison mage, and maybe he uses this diary to record a lot of research content.

She was hoping for some poison formulas, or some folk remedies for poison resistance. If it wasn't those, but a plant encyclopedia... that wouldn't be impossible. With such anticipation, Yu Man turned to the second page.

It is the preface.

Text that can't fill the blank.

The handwriting was in Common Language, and judging by the date, it was written yesterday.

“I succeeded.

Not only the position of the boss, but everything in this black tower... and our common wish.

Sorry, there is no news from the boss's adjutant. I am the strongest among those who follow him, so I am the only one who can do it.

Alas, our wish was almost fulfilled, but the boss was assassinated in strange circumstances. It was really distressing.

As the successor, I will probably die soon.

So for the rest of my life... I'll just write one page a day, and treat each day as a suicide note."

After reading the preface, Yu Man finally understood.

In a sense, this diary was actually commissioned by her...

Alas, cause and effect.

She immediately flipped through the rest of the text—and there was a lot of it.

"First day of succession

I patched up the conference room and increased security, but there wasn't much else to do.

My subordinates are all here to pursue their ideals. Even if we lose our leader, as long as our shared aspirations remain, they will diligently complete their work. They are all very capable, which actually gives me a lot of free time.

But... I have to say, I feel very confused.

When did we pick up that wish?

That wish that is taken for granted but no one cares about.

We were born in Himlabakken and live amidst the flourishing of the ice element.

Our breathing is always visible, we cannot see the green sprouts shining in the sun, and we do not know what dew is.
