Want to be human, but cube-like

"Xiangzi, you're awake?"

Alex, who had clearly spent the night in the mob farm, walked over.

"You really don't need to sleep at all?"

Thinking back to the time since he met Alex, it seemed that she really had never slept a single night, and Xiangzi didn't know what to say.

"Hmm... I don't really need to, but actually I sometimes choose to sleep."

Alex stretched slightly, crossed her arms in front of her, and lifted her large breasts up a bit. She thought for a moment and said...

For example, on the day I first came into this world, I was so lost and confused because I couldn't find anything to do that I went back to bed as soon as it got dark.

After all, sleeping was just a way for her to skip the night. As a blocky being, Alex didn't need to rest to recover her strength.

"Does not sleeping seem abnormal?"

But recalling her own desire to integrate into this world that day, Alex suddenly asked Xiangzi with some hesitation.

She hadn't forgotten that she was currently learning from Xiangzi how to be an ordinary person.

"This is very abnormal; for a normal person, it could be considered a disease."

Having grown accustomed to Alex's nonsensical pronouncements, Xiangzi felt little emotional reaction and replied.

"Ah! In that case, I'll have to get used to sleeping every day."

Scratching her head, Alex pulled a workbench out of her bag, then quickly combined it into two beds, placing them side by side on the ground.

"It's nighttime on the floating island right now, Xiangzi, come and sleep with me."

She sat down directly on the bed, patted the bed next to her, and said.

"No! Why should I sleep with you? I just woke up!"

Xiangzi guessed one thing wrong.

She simply couldn't remain unaffected by Alex's words.

Volume 1: Chapter 61 Startled by a Fear of Heights

"Because if Xiangzi doesn't sleep with me, then this night can't be skipped."

After explaining briefly, and seeing that Xiangzi really had no intention of lying down with her, Alex had no choice but to dismantle the bed again.

Although she had guessed that Xiangzi was a player unit like herself, she had never actually experienced this mechanism herself. She had only heard her mother mention it when reading some tutorials to her, saying that when multiple players were in the main world at the same time, they all had to lie in bed to skip the night.

But Alex clearly doesn't understand that in this world, sleeping, especially sleeping with others, is an act with special meaning.

After all, for her, skipping the night to sleep doesn't require specifically looking for a time or place.

"What a strange rule..."

Xiangzi, who also couldn't quite understand Alex's way of thinking, sighed softly and chose to change the subject.

What were you busy with just now?

As she spoke, she looked at the hole from which Alex had just emerged.

"I'm grinding monsters for resources, wanna come and take a look?"

As Alex spoke, she wanted to lead her over to see the wandering mob farm she had spent a lot of time building.

"Hmm, I'll help you."

However, Alex had only taken a few steps when she noticed that Xiangzi was tired and slow because she needed a walking aid to move her body. So she took the initiative to come over, picked Xiangzi up, and put away her walking aid.

"Huh!? Alex?"

With a startled cry, Xiangzi was suddenly lifted up in a princess carry and grabbed her sleeve in bewilderment.

"That's faster, and Xiangzi can't climb these stairs by himself, can he?"

Before Xiangzi could answer, she had already finished speaking and wrapped her arms tightly around his waist, carrying him as they climbed down into the hole.

Xiangzi then realized that the large flat area above was only one meter thick and was completely floating in mid-air. Below it was a large wooden floor, and the only thing connecting the two layers was the wooden pillar in the middle.

The height difference between the two floors is about twenty meters. Alex is currently climbing down the ladder on the pillar with both feet and using one hand to slide down quickly.

"Too, too dangerous, Desuwa!"

The height, and Alex's completely unprotected actions, startled Xiangzi so much that she even blurted out her usual verbal tic.

With her eyes tightly closed and her face pale, Xiangzi held Alex tightly in her arms. She was almost too afraid to move, fearing that Alex would fall from mid-air because of her.

A moment later, with the sound of footsteps on the wooden plank, the two landed safely. Alex put down the walking aid and helped Xiangzi, whose legs were a little weak, to stand up.

"Okay, here we are."

Alex, who didn't think her actions were dangerous at all, said with a smile.

"Look, this is the mob farm I built!"

Turning around, Alex showed Xiangzi a building not far from them.

Since there are no buckets to transport water, the only option is to build a stepped, centrally descending mob-spawning tower. The trapdoors are used to trick the mobs into going downwards, so the efficiency isn't too slow, but it's troublesome to build.

As soon as Alex finished speaking, with a "plop," another zombie fell down the pipe from above, and the two of them saw its feet through the gap under the mob spawner.

"I used to build them with my mom, this is the first time I've built a mob farm by myself."

She seemed quite proud of herself. As she spoke, she took out her weapon and killed the zombie that didn't have much health left, then sucked the rotten flesh from the ground into her bag.

"call……"

Xiangzi, having calmed himself down by exhaling softly, glanced at Alex with a hint of helplessness.

She looked around. Unlike the upper floor, which was full of farmland, animals, and trees, this floor was empty. She could only see torches stuck in the ground for lighting, and the only building she could see was the monster-slaying tower that Alex had mentioned.

The upper floor felt more relaxing to Xiangzi; this floor was too lifeless.

Although the way those animals were huddled together was indeed a bit scary.

"By the way, Xiangzi, I plan to farm enough resources here today. The burger shop will be closed for a day, since you're injured and can't work."

Suddenly remembering that she hadn't told Xiangzi about this, Alex said.

She then briefly explained her purpose in obtaining the resources and her plans for the evening.

After obtaining the bucket and the razor blade [White Sheath], and having Xiangzi drink milk to remove the effect of the witch's kiss, she can go out to find the banker witch at night.

Although the witch had moved the witch's barrier, Alex, who knew about witches' habits from Kyubey, could easily find the witch's barrier by quickly searching for uninhabited areas on the minimap.

Carrying a sword, she could easily move quickly in Tokyo, a city teeming with rats at night. While it wasn't as convenient as a train, it was sufficient for her needs.

These were all matters concerning combat, and Xiangzi could only express her gratitude and keep them in mind, since Alex was doing all this to save her father. But beyond that, she couldn't offer any other useful advice.

Her greatest effort would be to avoid hindering Alex as she had done the night before.

"Come, Xiangzi, sit down first."

After giving her brief explanation, Alex placed two white cushions in front of the mob farm.

This is an item from the Mechanical Power Module; it can be crafted from a wool and a wooden plank step.

However, since there was no table, Alex had no choice but to casually slap down a one-meter-high wooden board.

It's a bit high, but it's still usable.

"Let's have breakfast first. I only realized last night when I was looking through the recipe book that there are so many other things I can make, so I just made a little bit."

As she spoke, she waved her hand and took out a large pile of food from her backpack, which she then laid out on the entire wooden countertop.

Xiangzi sat in front of her, looking at the sumptuous dishes on the table, and subconsciously swallowed.

Although it was said to be casual, what she casually made was more sumptuous than Xiangzi's meals over the past few months combined.

Although every dish was tempting, Xiangzi only ate one bowl of beef stew, which was just enough to fill his stomach, and then he stopped.

"Alright, shall I take you back? There's nothing else to do today, you can rest well in your room all day."

After the meal, Alex cleared away the dishes and a few untouched items from the table because they were left uneaten, and then she spoke to Xiangzi.

"Eh?"

Xiangzi, who had just finished eating and drinking and had a rosy complexion, was taken aback when he heard this.

She looked up at the ladder Alex had used to pull her down, and her face instantly went from rosy to pale.

I've only just recovered from my weak legs!

"Um, I think I have some time now, so I can tell you about some common knowledge about our world!"

He quickly raised his hand to interrupt Alex, and Xiangzi made an excuse to try to stay a little longer.

…………

Volume 1: Chapter 62 So much milk, I can't drink it all!

The day passed quickly.

While Xiangzi was explaining common sense to Alex, Alex was also helping her learn a lot about this blocky world.

For example, she had previously learned about features such as buildings being able to float, and the fact that after killing a monster, the corpse would disappear, leaving behind dropped items, and so on.

All of these challenges the worldview that Toyokawa Shoko has built up over the past ten years.

But Xiangzi's speed in understanding this new knowledge was not slow, and Alex could sense that she seemed quite excited.

As the sun was about to set, Alex finally obtained enough iron ingots. Along the way, she also killed a zombie carrying a backpack and took two gold ingots from the dropped backpack.

Now the sharp blade [White Sheath] can also be synthesized.

Then, Alex, carrying the bucket, excitedly ran to the farm, filled a large bucket with milk, and brought it to Xiangzi.

"Come on, drink this all, and the witch's kiss will be gone from your body!"

"what?"

Xiangzi, who didn't understand Alex's words for a moment, was stunned.

She glanced at the bucket the other woman was carrying, which was taller than her knees and contained at least tens or hundreds of liters of water. Then, looking at Alex's expression, she realized that she didn't seem to be joking.

In reality, the barrel's capacity was much larger than Xiangzi had seen; it could hold a thousand liters, or one ton of liquid.

"No, no, no! There's no way we could finish this!"

He hurriedly shook his head, feeling a sense of terror at the thought of Alex filling his belly with so much milk.

This already falls into the category of extreme tastes!

"Huh? Why? That's how I usually drink it."

However, upon hearing Xiangzi's refusal, Alex became puzzled. Seeing that the other party seemed not to believe her, she directly picked up the milk bucket and poured it into her mouth in front of Xiangzi.

"Tons, tons, tons..."

Amidst Xiangzi's horrified expression, Alex drank the entire amount of milk in one gulp—enough to completely submerge a person.

"See, it's not that hard to finish this in one gulp."

Wiping the milk stains from the corner of her mouth, Alex didn't even burp before smiling and speaking to Xiangzi.

"..."

Now, Xiangzi truly witnessed Alex's terrifying appetite. She looked at Alex's abdomen, which was still so flat. The large bucket of milk she had just drunk seemed like an illusion, with no trace of it. She then raised her gaze slightly and looked down at her breasts.

Could it be that they drank all that much? But it couldn't have gotten that bad, could it?

Seeing Alex bring over another bucket of milk, Xiangzi sighed helplessly.

It seems that the road to educating her on common sense, which is usually the norm, is long and arduous.

……

Xiangzi's refusal to drink the whole bucket of milk gave Alex a headache for a while. In the end, she had no choice but to look up the recipe and found one: a bucket of milk could be combined with four glass bottles to make four bottles of milk.

Compared to the milk bucket, which can eliminate all positive and negative statuses, the milk bottle can only randomly eliminate one at a time, so its effect is not as strong. However, it is just right for Xiangzi, who only has one negative status.
