The afterlife blew up Gensokyo

"Ahem... Get off me first."

Turning his head, Shi Bai coughed a few times, looking rather embarrassed.

"Oh……"

She nodded obediently, and after climbing off Shi Bai, the white-haired loli sat down next to him quite naturally. At the same time, she casually took his left hand into her arms, looked up at him with a pitiful expression.

"I'm hungry, I want to eat something delicious."

"Delicious food..."

When his gaze fell on the box that probably only contained five or six packs of instant noodles, Shi Bai's lips twitched involuntarily.

As if suddenly remembering something, Shi Bai quickly turned to the white-haired loli beside him and asked her a question.

"By the way, um... have you ever eaten anything that looks like ice cubes?"

As he spoke, Shi Bai pointed to the spot where he had placed the ice crystals the night before.

"Low-grade, not tasty."

As if his words had stirred up some unpleasant memories for her, the white-haired girl shook her head with a pained expression, then pointed to the box of instant noodles that was almost empty.

"That's delicious, but there's too little of it. I'm afraid I'll finish it all."

Shi Bai: "..."

So, you were originally planning to take them all in one fell swoop?

Chapter Eight: There is a Fish in the Northern Sea

What's the saying?

After all the impossible options have been eliminated, the remaining option, no matter how incredible, is absolutely the correct one.

Looking at the white-haired loli who was contentedly eating her instant noodles from her own bowl and occupying her own spot, Shi Bai was already able to quite seriously confirm the other party's identity in his mind.

Since the dragon cocoon has disappeared, and a white-haired loli has inexplicably appeared in his nest, coupled with that unscientific superhuman strength, the identity of the other party is obviously obvious.

"...A dragon?"

With his arms crossed, Shi Bai looked thoughtful.

"So her language proficiency and healing abilities must be her racial talents, just like my talents [Immortality] and [True Luck]... Was it because of the [True Luck] talent that I took her in?"

Shi Bai hadn't considered using his E-level skill [Appraisal] to appraise the other party, but it was obvious that the skill level was too low. The system's feedback was that the success rate of the appraisal was a straightforward 0%.

With a 0% chance of winning, even the luckiest person in the world wouldn't be able to win, right?

Even without verification, it was clear this white-haired girl had latched onto him. While having another companion was always a good thing, Shi Bai felt it necessary to teach her some basic common sense beforehand…

"You can't eat this."

Shi Bai snatched the instant noodle bag from the other person's hand, glanced at the completely empty instant noodle box, and sighed helplessly.

He is now quite certain that the other person is a foodie.

"name?"

The pitiful little girl turned her gaze away from the plastic bag and tilted her head slightly, looking at Shi Bai's question with a curious expression.

What is Shi Bai's name?

"...My name is Shi Bai."

Shi Bai's lips twitched involuntarily.

Driven by some wicked thoughts, his original plan was to teach the other person to call him "brother" or, even more cruelly, "father" or "master"...

Fortunately, he had some integrity and resolutely killed the latter two thoughts from his mind.

The problem is that this white-haired little girl, for some reason, resolutely refused to call him "brother," so in the end, he ended up calling him by his given name.

"Um... my name..."

After thinking about it for a while with a lot of confusion, the white-haired loli's eyes lit up when she saw the box of instant noodles next to her, and she raised her hand high.

"Shi Bai, I'll call myself Instant Noodles!!"

"Ahaha... Xiaoye, right? I understand."

His expression suddenly froze, but Shi Bai quickly nodded.

"Then from now on, Xiaoye's name will be Xiaoye."

"No, Xiaoye's name is Instant Noodles."

The white-haired loli pouted unhappily.

"Ahem, Xiaoye, you stay here for now. I'll go out and find something to eat, and I'll also explore the area to find another place to stay. This place is too small."

Shi Bai coughed a few times, then stood up from the ground.

"Hmm... I'll bring you a set of clothes when I come back later."

"Well……"

After glancing at Shi Bai, the white-haired loli hesitated for a moment before nodding and pointing to the box.

"After Shi Bai comes back, Xiao Ye wants to eat delicious instant noodles."

"Yes, but you can't eat too much."

Skillfully vaulting out of the small safe house, Shi Bai stood outside and solemnly extended a finger towards the white-haired loli inside.

"Also, it's dangerous outside, remember to wait for me to come back."

"Oh……"

She nodded as if she understood, but then suddenly rolled up her sleeves and raised her fist in front of her.

"But Shi Bai is very weak. I feel like I could kill him with one punch. Shall Xiao Ye go with Shi Bai? Xiao Ye will protect Shi Bai."

Shi Bai: "..."

It seems I'll need to be taught the art of speaking from now on... So what kind of bizarre way of describing it is "one punch could kill me"?

Arriving at the cliff valley with ease, Shi Bai, having gained experience from previous cliff jumps and with a renewed sense of purpose in his life, jumped with great decisiveness this time.

"Uh... my coat really came back..."

Looking at the coat that had reappeared on him after his resurrection, Shi Bai couldn't help but feel ashamed.

Before he could think too much about it, a large black shadow rose rapidly from the ice beneath his feet. By the time he realized what was happening, it was too late. He and the ice beneath his feet were sent flying straight into the sky.

In that brief glimpse from high above, he was horrified to discover that beneath this vast expanse of icy sea lurked a terrifyingly large black shadow, seemingly obscuring the entire sea.

"...Could this thing be the legendary Kun?"

Before he could even process that thought, he was swallowed whole by the "whale" that flew out from the ice floe beneath his feet, and his consciousness quickly vanished amidst the icy seawater and the violent dizziness and impact.

He didn't know how much time had passed before Shi Bai woke up shivering in the biting cold.

"Hiss... I'm not dead?"

Staggering to his feet on the uneven ice, Shi Bai pressed his forehead hard before he could even look at his surroundings.

...Then he was completely stunned.

As far as he could see, large and small ice crystals almost filled the space, while countless glowing lights provided enough illumination for this dark space, creating a dreamlike scene that resembled a fairyland.

Shi Bai suddenly felt as if he had fallen into a mountain of gold.

Faced with this scene, the first thing Shi Bai did was to quickly bring up the system interface and cancel his original resurrection point in preparation for binding it here.

If he can bind a respawn point to this location, then he will truly become incredibly wealthy.

...Then a system notification brought him back to this cold reality.

[Special location, respawn point binding failed]

"Special location? Uh... I remember I was somewhere like that before..."

After thinking for a moment, Shi Bai's lips twitched involuntarily, and he spoke softly.

"Oh, I remember now, I was swallowed by a colorful Void Kun..."

Chapter 9 Minecraft

What is the most painful thing in the world?

There are many debates about the answer to this question, but just as there are 1000 different fantasies in 1000 people's minds, Shi Bai now has a clear answer to this question.

...That's like a mountain of treasure right in front of you, ready for you to take whatever you want, but you can't take it with you, you bastard!

Since the resurrection point cannot be set here, he is already incredibly lucky to have arrived here and survived. However, even considering all his pockets, the number of [Ice Crystals] he can take away will definitely not be too many.

Regardless of whether the scientific name of these large fish hovering above the icy sea is actually Kun, the only way to describe such enormous fish is probably Kun.

Although he hadn't frozen to death yet, probably because of that white-haired loli, he estimated that he could only hold on here for another two or three minutes at most.

The seven ice crystals he had painstakingly found on the icy sea had almost frozen his body after being kept in his pocket for a while, and the scattered ice crystals in front of him now numbered in the thousands.

If it weren't for the white-haired loli, Shi Bai felt that he would probably have frozen to death when he was swallowed by that Kun, and there would be no way he would only have a slight frostbite like he does now.

Returning empty-handed from a treasure trove has never been his principle. Recalling his miserable state yesterday, where he spent an entire afternoon on the icy sea and only managed to collect eight ice crystals, and looking at the wealth that was practically everywhere before him, Shi Bai made the right decision in the shortest amount of time.

Opening the system's summoning interface, Shi Bai covered his hands with his shirt sleeves, took a deep breath, and began a frenzied "pay-to-win" summoning spree.

One, two, two, three, ten... They were completely ignoring the summoned items and stuffing [ice crystals] into the room, a state commonly known as sweeping.

He would never stop his actions as long as the things summoned were not what he wanted.

When he put a piece of ice crystal about the size of a football into the system's summoning interface, a yellow wooden box that looked somewhat familiar appeared in front of him.

"Uh... While it's good that I finally got what I wanted, this box looks kind of familiar..."

Touching his chin and then pulling the cotton coat he had summoned earlier tighter around himself, Shi Bai looked thoughtful.

[Under identification...]

[Target level identified as too high, success rate 15%, continue?]

【whether】

[In the process of identification... Identification successful]

【Name: Box】

[Source: Minecraft]

[Capacity: 27 slots]

"Is it really one of those chests from Minecraft?"

Upon seeing the results of the diagnosis, Shi Bai's eyes immediately lit up.

When this summoning interface first appeared, he had already envisioned that if he possessed high-level items in the future, the items he summoned would definitely not be ordinary things.

Judging by this pace... maybe I really will be able to summon a Saber-like creature in the future!!

In Minecraft, the "chest" is just an ordinary item used to store items. It's the kind of item that basically no one is very interested in because it's something that can be easily created.

But what if we put this "box" in reality?

In Minecraft, a chest has a capacity of 27 slots, meaning you can put 27 different items in it. The maximum number of the same item that can be placed in the same slot is 64. If you could fill the entire chest with ice crystals…

Just as someone was envisioning a bright and happy future with shining eyes, a sudden and violent tremor, like an earthquake, nearly knocked him to the ground.

It was at this moment that Shi Bai realized that he was not in a gold mine that he could take as he pleased, but inside the body of a certain colorful-bearded Kun... Could he be about to encounter something as terrifying as the Green Corpse Frost inside?

Realizing that he didn't have much time left, Shi Bai quickly started packing things into the box.

He did want to summon a few more boxes to make a Russian nesting doll effect, but the football-sized ice crystal he had just seen was already the largest piece he could find nearby. There were larger ones, of course, but they were all far away.

Rather than risking an uncertain future by traveling to a distant place, it's better to secure tangible benefits right now.

However, while putting ice crystals into the chest, Shi Bai also discovered a hidden rule: ice crystals that are too different in size can never be put into the same slot, just like two different items in Minecraft can never be put into the same slot.

Fortunately, the concept of different items is less pronounced in reality. Otherwise, if they had to be exactly the same to fit into the same slot, like in the game, he probably would have only been able to take 27 [Ice Crystals] back with him.

"Each grid can hold 64, so 27 grids can hold a total of 27 x 64. If they can all be filled, there will be at least 1200!! We're going to be rich this time!!"
