Zongman: I'm working hard to develop my daily life in the time-travel series

Black Rabbit sadly wrung out her clothes.

In contrast, Shiro Yaksha, who didn't seem to mind being soaked to the bone, looked around at Shi Yu and the others at the shop entrance and then grinned.

"Oh? So you're Black Rabbit's new companions? Now that people from another world have come to my side, it means... Black Rabbit will finally become my pet..."

The black rabbit stood up with its ears perked up and threw a tantrum.

"That's not true! What kind of development process led to that outcome?"

The White Demon, whose true intentions were unclear, smiled and beckoned everyone into the shop.

"Never mind, let's talk inside the store."

"Are you sure it's okay? They should be 'nameless' without even a flag, according to the regulations..."

"I'm apologizing on behalf of the (cgdj) rude employee who knowingly asked for their names despite knowing they were 'nameless'. I can vouch for their identities, and I'll take responsibility if the boss is unhappy. Anyway, let them in."

"Hmm!" The female shop assistant looked indignant. From her perspective, she was simply following the rules, so her dissatisfaction was a perfectly reasonable reaction.

Under the angry glare of the female shop assistant, the four people and one cat passed through the curtain and arrived at an atrium that was unnaturally spacious, a sight completely unimaginable from the outside of the shop.

I glanced at the front entrance hall, where various famous and precious items that were originally displayed in the shop window were arranged.

"Unfortunately, the shop is already closed, so please make yourselves at home and come to my private room."

The four people and one cat walked through the Japanese-style courtyard and stopped along the corridor.

The place where the White Demon opened the paper door to invite everyone in was lit with something resembling incense, which irritated the four people's noses as the wind blew.

Although it was supposed to be a private room, the Japanese-style room was rather spacious. Shiroyasha sat down in the seat of honor, stretching lazily before facing Shi Yu and the others again. Upon closer inspection, it was clear her clothes were completely dry.

"Let me introduce myself again. I am White Demon, a cadre of 'ThousandEyes' who has established a base in the four-digit gate and the outer gate of the third, third, fourth, and fifth tiers. I have some connection with this black rabbit. Anyway, you should know that I am a beautiful girl with extraordinary magnanimity who helped you several times after your community collapsed."

Shi Yu frowned upon hearing this: "Four figures? More than that, isn't it?"

White Night Demon gave Shi Yu a strange look and laughed, "I'm becoming more and more interested in you, but I did indeed accept the four-digit Demon King title of the Asura Godhead, so you don't need to worry about that."

What she didn't say was that she deliberately sought refuge in Buddhism and accepted a lower-level deity status to become a four-digit number in order to interfere with the lower classes.

"Yes, yes, we are truly grateful for your many acts of kindness."

Black Rabbit casually brushed off White Yaksha's statement.

Yao, who was standing next to her, tilted his head slightly and asked:

"What does 'outer gate' refer to?"

"It's about distinguishing the doors on the outer walls of the small garden levels. The smaller the number, the closer it is to the city center, and the more powerful the inhabitants are."

This miniature city is divided into seven ruling layers from top to bottom, and the doors separating each layer are marked with numbers.

Starting from the outer wall, there are seven-digit outer gates, six-digit outer gates, and so on. The further in you go, the smaller the number becomes, and the more powerful the corresponding gate. Once you reach the four-digit outer gate in the miniature garden, you're already in a completely inhuman, demonic realm, occupied and divided by the infamous Asura gods and Buddhas.

Black Rabbit repeated the information she had given to Toki to Asuka and Kasukabe, describing an aerial view of the miniature garden, showing several levels separated by the outer gate.

Looking at the picture, Asuka and Kasukabe nodded solemnly:

"...A gigantic onion?"

"No, I think it's a giant Baumkuchen."

"That's true, it does resemble a Baumkuchen in comparison."

Hearing these nonsensical thoughts, Black Rabbit slumped her shoulders helplessly.

Lord Shiyu is more reliable.

Shi Yu: "Isn't this a boss from a dungeon game?"

"Soo-ga~ Yeah!"

"It hits the nail on the head, giving the feeling of penetrating layer by layer."

Black Rabbit: "(╯‵□)╯︵┻━┻!"

In contrast, White Yaksha laughed and nodded several times.

"Hehe, that's a very good example. Using that example, the seven-digit outer gate at our current location is like the thinnest layer of a Baumkuchen. To put it more precisely, this place is located on the eastern side of the four cardinal directions, and once you step out of that gate, you'll arrive at the place opposite 'The End of the World.' There live some creatures there who, while not belonging to the community, possess powerful gifts—like the owner of that water tree."

White Yaksha chuckled softly and turned her gaze to the water sapling in Black Rabbit's hand.

She was referring to the giant snake that Shi Yu had killed.

"So, who played what game and won? Was it a battle of wits? Or a test of courage?"

Black Rabbit was sweating profusely.

When she received this gift, the snake was squeezed so much that it was no longer recognizable as a human...

P.S. My wife and daughter both have the flu, what a pain.

Chapter 255 What are you doing?

"Ah~ I'll kill it."

Shi Yu smiled and spoke to Bai Yacha.

White Yaksha's eye twitched involuntarily. After all, this was a minor deity under his command. How could he be so disrespectful?

The White Demon cried out in surprise:

"What! Not cracking the game, but defeating it directly? Then, are you a child prodigy with divine status?"

Black Rabbit hurriedly said from the side:

"No, they don't think so. If it were a deity, it should be obvious at a glance."

"Hmm, that makes sense. But defeating a god should only be possible if both sides possess godhood, or if there's a significant power imbalance between their races. But if we're calculating racial power, snakes and humans are practically the same, aren't they?"

The so-called divinity does not refer to a born god, but rather to a gift that allows the body to transform into the highest level of the species.

If one is granted the status of a serpent god, he will transform into a colossal serpent god.

If a person is granted divinity, he or she will become a living god or a child prodigy.

If one is granted the status of a ghost or deity, they will transform into a ghost or deity capable of shaking heaven and earth.

Moreover, possessing divinity strengthens other blessings as well. Many communities within the Little Garden prioritize obtaining divinity as their primary goal in order to advance to the upper levels.

Shi Yu himself has already evolved into a god, which in the context of the Little Garden world would make him a born god, so the concept of godhood is of no use to him.

Black Rabbit whispered to White Yaksha:

"Does Lord White Yaksha know that Snake God?"

White Demon puffed out her small chest and laughed heartily.

"It's not just that I knew it; I was the one who bestowed divinity upon that thing. Although it happened several hundred years ago."

However, upon hearing those words, Asuka's eyes gleamed with restlessness, and she pressed further:

"Oh? Does that mean you're stronger than that snake?"

"Hmph, of course. I am the 'Hill Dominator' of the East. Because in this East, no one in the communities below four digits can rival me; I am the strongest organizer."

The phrase "the strongest organizer" made Asuka, Yao, and the others' eyes light up.

Shi Yu killed a snake and received a reward. If he could crack the game against the White Yaksha, who is stronger than a snake, would that mean he would be stronger than Shi Yu?

Asuka asked the White Yaksha with great interest:

"Is that so... Hehe, so in other words, as long as we can crack your game, our community will become the strongest organization on the east side?"

"certainly."

"That's really exciting news, saving us the trouble of searching."

She and Kasukabe exchanged a glance, their gazes towards Shiroyasha filled with undisguised fighting spirit.

The White Demon seemed to notice their intentions and let out a loud laugh.

"These little rascals are really not to be underestimated. They've all come to me for help, and now they want to challenge me to a Gift Game?"

Black Rabbit felt a chill run down her spine, and she hurriedly tried to speak up to stop them:

"Huh? Wait...wait a minute, you two!"

White Yaksha stretched out her right hand to stop the panicked Black Rabbit.

"It's alright, Black Rabbit. I've always lacked an opponent to play with."

"That's really proactive; I admire that kind of person."

"Hoo hoo, really? But before we start the game, there's one thing we need to confirm."

"What's up?"

White Demon pulled a card from the hem of her kimono, featuring a banner with the words "Thousand Eyes" and two opposing goddesses, and said with an arrogant smile:

"Are you expecting a 'challenge' or a 'duel'?"

In an instant, the vision of Shi Yu and the other two underwent an explosive change.

Their vision lost its meaning, and all sorts of scenes began to swirl in their minds.

What flashed through my mind were grasslands with swaying golden rice ears, hills with white horizons visible, and lakesides in forests.

Places never seen before in their memories kept repeating themselves, swallowing the three of them up from beneath their feet.

The three were eventually dumped in a world with white snowfields and frozen lakes—and a sun that moved horizontally.

Shi Yu frowned.

This guy's strength is indeed far more than just a double-digit number. If Nazarick is the world under Shi Yu's jurisdiction, then he is able to establish laws within the guild's sphere of influence.

·· ·····Requesting flowers··· ········

So the world before us is the world created and controlled by the White Yaksha.

This world, in terms of both scale and the sophistication of its rules, far exceeds the limits that Shi Yu can control.

"Two digits..."

Shi Yu squinted at Bai Yacha, his expression somewhat grave.

The scene before them was so unusual that Asuka and the others gasped simultaneously.

This feeling is completely different from when I was summoned to the miniature garden; it is a miracle that cannot be described in words.

In the distant, dimly lit sky, there was only one star—the white sun, slowly orbiting the world along a horizontal path.

...

It was as if the miracle of creating a star and a world was being presented to everyone in a concrete way.

The three stood there speechless and motionless. The White Yaksha asked them again:

"I will now reiterate my name and inquire of your wishes. I am the 'White Night Demon King'—the celestial spirit of the sun and the night, the White Yaksha. Do you desire a 'challenge' to the trials, or a 'duel' of equals?"

Demon King? White Demon. Faced with the astonishing power emanating from a smile that shouldn't belong to a young girl, the two gasped again.

Shi Yu secretly adjusted the rules within his body and found that he could still use them. It seemed that although he couldn't defeat her, she probably couldn't stop him from running away.

Protoss,

Relieved, Shi Yu turned his attention to what Bai Yacha had said.

Black Rabbit said,

The term "Star Spirit" refers to the main spirit existing on celestial bodies of stellar magnitude or higher. They are the highest-level species in the concepts of fairies, ghosts, and demons, and are also beings capable of "bestowing" blessings.

In Shi Yu's view, this should be considered the final evolutionary form of the elves in his village.

"White Night and Yaksha. Does that mean the horizontally orbiting sun and this land?"

Looking at the white night sky over the lakeside and snowfield, and the sun that keeps the world perpetually dim, I clicked my tongue in amazement.

"What are you looking at me for? It wasn't me who suggested fighting you."

White Demon: (╬￣皿￣) ! ! ! 口.
