Is the person you sculpt as cute as me?

046·The Beginning of Day

Taking off the headset, Yu Man returned to reality.

"Hey."

Looking at the unfamiliar ceiling and smelling the smell of someone else's home in the house.

Yu Man sighed again.

"Ugh."

But it wasn't a sound of pain, quite the opposite.

Yesterday, I was struggling to get enough food and clothing, but now I have to stay in a place like this... It's like I've entered a new world.

What should I do while waiting?

I took a bath today, so I'll have a chat with Senior Cat...

Just as Yu Man was thinking this, she heard footsteps.

Quick, but light.

After a while, footsteps approached her house, and then someone knocked on the door excitedly and opened it.

You don't have to think twice to know who it is.

"Hahaha." It was the little deer who was laughing non-stop.

Looking at her pretty face outside the door, Yu Man felt like she was still in the game, after all, they looked almost the same.

"Wow, it feels like I'm still offline." Xiaolu had the same thought and sighed honestly.

She was still wearing her home clothes, which looked very warm and furry, as were her cotton slippers.

"It really is."

"Hahaha, Boss, I don't know the players are going offline! Hurry up and export the screenshots. I want to see over 20 heads frozen."

So, as soon as she logged off, she ran straight to Yu Man's room...

Hey, the footsteps finally reached Yu Man's bed.

but--

The deer stopped and suddenly turned back to the door.

However, it is not because I feel disrespectful, indecent, or have any psychological burden.

She just had a sudden idea.

"Eel, eel, look." She stood at the door and made a gesture of holding a two-handed sword. "I can use my ultimate in the game and jump directly from here to your bed."

"...Are you a child?!"

"Hahaha, but in reality I have to run a lot... huh? What about the Triple Crown?"

Who is the Triple Crown winner? Oh, it's Cat Senior...

"Don't worry about it. It's the most trustworthy cat in the world."

"so smart?"

Of course—after all, there was a person living in it.

Yu Man found some cables and connected the phone to the headset... Why was the phone a little sticky? That was all.

"Look at the photos you asked for."

Xiaolu sat down next to Yu Man without any worries. His light weight did not make the bed sink much.

Her breathing when she spoke... was also so light.

"You took a lot of screenshots. This... Hey, this isn't me in the snake's stomach."

"Don't worry, there are still many more times you can make a fool of yourself."

"Why are you taking screenshots like this?! Wait—Eel, isn't your phone cracked? Is this still usable?"

Instead, Yu Man didn't understand: "Isn't this normal?"

A cracked back cover, scratches or even cracks on the screen... as long as it doesn't affect the use, these are not a big deal, right?

Oh, I almost forgot, Xiaolu is actually a krypton gold player.

"Huh, the cracks don't actually scratch my hands..." She was actually quite amused by this. "Looking at it this way, the old battle-damaged paint job is kind of cool."

“…it’s just natural wear and tear.”

We chatted idly, and screenshots slowly flashed across the small screen of the phone.

It’s late on New Year’s Eve and the night is quiet.

They didn't notice that their hearts were so peaceful and fulfilled.

But when they spoke, their voices became small, just subconsciously not wanting to break the peace.

"Come to think of it, we're still where we were when we went online, right?"

"Yes, but if they can't find us, they'll just revert to their old ways. We'll then take the opportunity to run away with the goods. It'll be easy."

"Okay, okay... Then when is the best time to go online?"

"Go take a shower, then we'll switch to sleep mode and we can go online and bring all the goods back to the city."

Xiaolu looked flustered and subconsciously sniffed herself - she thought Yu Man was saying that she was not clean.

But Yu Man just laughed at her: "After eating hot pot, didn't you catch me playing games? I was helping out in the yard during the day. It's a rare New Year, wouldn't it be more comfortable to take a shower and sleep?"

"Hey, it was you who caught me playing games...Okay, okay, I'll go wash up."

"Remember to blow dry your hair."

"No problem! My guy will take care of it."

"Oh, does this require the help of a housekeeping robot?"

"...It's just when I'm blow-drying my hair!" Xiaolu said with a smile on his face. He slowly walked to the door and then looked back. "See you in my dream later?"

"Ah."

"...So, what's for breakfast?"

“…We’ll talk about it when the time comes.”

"What about lunch? Roast goose is only suitable for eating at night, so I'm telling you in advance..."

"What?"

Yu Man always felt that there was some kind of logical problem here, but before she could figure it out, the deer had disappeared in a flash.

Ah - yes.

She was clearly only staying for one day and would be going back to the rental house during the day... Why was Xiaolu talking about tomorrow's menu?

But she was gone—Yu Man had no way to refute it. He could only wait a while and talk to her in his dreams...

……

Yu Man had already taken a shower during the day.

Of course, the same goes for Cat Senior.

But it took Yu Man a long time to find Senior Cat... It turned out that this guy was kept in a small room.

It's not that the housekeeping robot is abusive, or that the cat is locked up because people are afraid it will cause trouble at home.

Rather, because the house is so spacious, there's more than enough room to use—and because I'm worried that the noise from today's firecrackers might cause the cat to become stressed, I've cleared out a small room and made it a cozy little nest. Truly the ultimate luxury item of our time, these details are truly unmatched.

"So, what do you want to ask me by waking me up in the middle of the night and disturbing my sleep? Xiaoman." In the cat house, the cat senior asked sleepily.

"...Aren't you usually very energetic at this time, ready to go hunting?"

“…Because I’m full today.”

Speaking of this, Senior Cat suddenly became excited and gently rubbed Yu Man's feet.

"Xiao Man, I want to discuss something with you."

"Why are you in trouble when I haven't said anything?"

"Tomorrow morning, you will carry me home, and then you will find that I am lost because you cannot defeat the cat's agility."

"And you ran back here?"

"Well, the other person will think, 'Since you're here, I might as well feed you something,' and then make me a bowl of cat food. Then, your gaming partner will call you and ask you to come and claim the cat..."

Yu Man sneered, "Then I'll pick a meal time... Since I'm here, I might as well have another meal..."

"Oh, yes, I'm a cat, so it's normal for me to do these scheming things. You'll be embarrassed when the time comes, and you'll be implicated by the cat... This way, we can both eat our fill. What do you think?"

After hearing Senior Cat's words, Yu Man felt ashamed and regretful. "Alas, the strongest swordsman in the old world, the one who opened the second round, has fallen to this point... I understand. Life smooths the edges of genius, and the secular world corrupts humans who should have been able to fly."

"Hmph, you've eaten a full meal and haven't digested it yet, but you think you can handle it. Tomorrow, when you're hungry again, you'll be shouting 'Senior Cat is invincible' and coming to hug my thighs."

Senior Cat took a bite of Yu Man half-jokingly.

"And I've been wandering the world for three whole years. Worrying about food, giving up dignity, living one meal at a time, wandering between cities and the countryside... I've experienced it all. You have to believe me on this."

"No, buddy, we destroyed a team of bosses today, proving that the boss-leading business is going to be very successful soon. We can still make ends meet thanks to this. Once we save up some money and buy some stocks, things will get better. Why bother being so despicable and try to get a free meal?"

Although, judging by our previous conversation... Yu Man's suggestion of bringing the boss...

——The boss seems to be a little deer.

But this is a dignified way of getting a free meal, not a despicable way of getting a free meal, so there is an essential difference.

But the word "stock" actually made Senior Cat a little more excited: "What stocks do you want to buy?"

"I remember the excitement of the first small trial match two months after the game launched. I remember the scores and the teams. The main investor of the winning team directly benefited from this small match, and the stock price has never dropped since the IPO, because the club has been going smoothly since then."

“…What’s your name?”

"The BeIng Bee Herb Shampoo team performed very well later on."

Senior Cat thought about it and said in a serious tone.

"What you're talking about is that two months after the server launch, the one hundred main city islands began to trade with each other. Therefore, the system believed that the routes to the one hundred cities had been opened, so the arena system was opened from within the islands to the entire server. Therefore, the outpost competition held was... the Development Cup."

"Well, you're indeed a PVP master, you remember it so clearly."

"Because I won the Kaikai Cup and received a sky-high contract directly... But I don't know the team you are talking about. Xiaoman, every week is different, and the difference is huge."

Yu Man was silent for a while: "Is that really the case..."

It seems that this issue needs further study and we will see how the world develops.

Yu Man moved on to the next topic, which was also the subject she wanted to ask about.

"Do you know an island called Lumana Seti? I found out its location. It's not far from my home city."

Senior Cat was confused for a moment, because the transliteration of the Old World language pronounced in Chinese was always very strange.

It restored the pronunciation in its head and fiddled with it for a while -

Then he realized, "Ah, White Island! The day is just beginning!"

"Fuck, indeed."

As Shimla Bakken means Mountain of Heaven in Old World language.

Researchers of Old World languages ​​have also successfully translated the names of many other islands.

Rumana Seti - the beginning of the day, commonly known as the White Island, is indeed well-known.

Because it was so easy to pronounce, and because it became famous so early, Yu Man really couldn't remember its original name, Lumanaseti...
