Gensokyo, a Minecraft template, starting experience from plucking flower fields.

This is absolutely not okay.

Fortunately, the mung bean cake didn't say that, but quickly replied:

"Once I've absorbed the energy of this world for a while and it's restored to what I need, I can go back."

Hearing what the mung bean cake said, Bai An breathed a sigh of relief. In that case, it was alright.

However, before he could be happy for long, the next sentence made him jump up and down.

"It will probably take about a thousand years, that's about right."

Thousands, thousands of years? !

Bai An's lips twitched; he could hardly believe his ears.

He has only lived for a few decades.

A thousand years seemed too far away to him; he couldn't even imagine it.

If she were to return after a thousand years, Youxiang would be frantic with worry, not knowing what changes might have occurred there.

"Can't the production time for mung bean cakes really be shortened any further? Even a few decades would be fine."

Bai An asked dejectedly, "If it's just a few decades, I can build a house and stay at home for a few decades. But a thousand years? I can't stay at home for that long, and Youxiang can't wait for me for that long either."

When he discovered he had returned alive, his first thought was to go back to the sunflower field, confess to Yuuka, and rake in her goodwill before finally finishing everything he hadn't done.

Upon hearing that he had traveled back a thousand years, he became completely agitated.

By the way, could he date Yuuka from this period?

"shorten?"

After pondering for a long time, the mung bean cake tilted its head and finally explained, "Actually, it's not impossible."

"any solution?"

Bai An's eyes lit up, and he quickly pressed for more information.

"As long as there are enough fragments of the world's core, I can go back ahead of schedule."

The core of the world?

Bai An followed her gaze and looked at the ring on the ring finger of his left hand.

"No, this won't do. This is very important to me, but I do have some raw materials."

Bai An quickly said that he was afraid that this guy would eat the ring like a snack while he was asleep.

As he spoke, he took out the remaining fragments of the world's core and handed them to the mung bean cake.

"Is this enough?"

The mung bean cake's eyes gleamed, and it immediately caught the fragments, crunching and chewing them.

Watching the other party devour the core fragment as if it were a potato chip, Bai An's eyelids twitched. You have to know that this thing is the core of a world, thousands or even tens of thousands of times harder than diamonds or obsidian.

This girl ate it like candy, crunching it all over.

"Hmm~ This amount can probably reduce the number of years by several hundred."

After swallowing a set of core fragments, he smacked his lips with mung bean cake, appearing quite pleased.

Hearing the mung bean cake's answer, Bai An relaxed a little. Once he became proficient with this, he would be able to mine the core of other worlds as well.

In this way, it won't be long before I can return to my original timeline.

"How about we go find my little Xiang now?"

Bai An's eyes sparkled with excitement, knowing that at this time, Kazami Yuuka was most likely still a cute and adorable little girl.

A brand new version, a brand new experience!

Thinking of this, Bai An couldn't help but chuckle and waved to the mung bean cake, signaling it to follow.

Based on Yuuka's description, we arrived at the approximate area where the sunflower field was located during this period.

Since it was only Yuuka's verbal description, Bai An searched from day to night but still found no clues.

Before he knew it, half a month had passed. Bai An had collected all the basic supplies. Since the gap opened, he only needed to carry some key weapons or items in his backpack, and he could put the rest in the gap.

Bai An used obsidian to build a 4x5 Nether portal.

Switching to the flint and steel, I nervously touched it, and a thin purple film appeared.

It appeared instantly.

He wondered if the other worlds he traveled to through the portal would still be on the original timeline. If they were, he could contact Xiao Hei through the underground base of the Freedom House in that world and have Xiao Hei teleport him back.

Imagination is beautiful, but reality is always cruel. After a dizzy spell, Bai An arrived in the lower realm. No matter how hard he searched, he could not find any trace of what he had left behind, let alone the underground base of the House of Freedom.

Since this method didn't work, Bai An didn't need to linger any longer. After looting the nearest Netherworld fortress, he returned to Gensokyo.

However, the moment he returned to Gensokyo and his vision brightened again, a familiar figure came into view.

Pink and white bunny ears, a gothic-style dress, and a carrot pendant hanging around her neck.

Isn't that Inaba Tei?

Clinging to memories of familiar faces, Bai An drew closer step by step, while his sinister claws quietly reached out towards Inaba Tei.

Just as he was about to touch those fluffy rabbit ears, Inaba Tei turned his head, and a pair of bright red eyes met his.

Their eyes met, and the scene froze.

Upon seeing Bai An, Inaba Tei was also taken aback, his eyes somewhat blank.

After a two-second pause, she suddenly realized what was happening and her small body darted back a few steps.

"Who are you, and what do you want?"

Inaba Tei stared warily at Bai An and Green Bean Cake, his blue demonic energy gathering in his calves, ready to run away at any moment.

Seeing her react so strongly, Bai An raised an eyebrow; the scene felt strangely familiar.

Would you like some carrots?

"Carrots? What carrots?"

"No, this is it."

As he spoke, Bai An took a carrot out of his backpack and waved it in front of Inaba Tei.

"W-Is this a real carrot!?"

Inaba Tei's eyes widened in disbelief.

You know, she's eaten hundreds of kinds of carrots, if not every kind in the world, but none of them were as crystal clear as this one, like a work of art, radiating an alluring glow.

"These are my own special carrots, only I have them. If you miss this opportunity, you might have to wait a thousand years to taste them again."

Bai An narrowed his eyes, revealing a cunning smile like a fox, and said casually.

"What conditions do you have!"

Inaba Tei bit her lip, looking very conflicted. She had recently collected quite a few treasures with her rabbits and was now quite well-off.

This precious carrot is so rare that you can't buy it even if you have money. If you miss this opportunity, you might not be able to eat it again for another thousand years.

"Can I trade you gold coins?"

Inaba Tei tentatively asked, "Anyway, gold is of no use to them and just takes up space. Why not exchange it for this precious carrot?"

"Gold coins? No way, I don't need them."

"Then what do you want?"

Inaba Tei looked pained. She knew the other party wasn't that stupid; he had just been testing her. She was already prepared to suffer a great loss.

"I don't need anything from you, you can have this carrot for free!"

Bai An curled his lips into a sly smile, sporting the expression of a cunning businessman.

"Give it to me for free?"

Inaba Tei stared wide-eyed at the guy in front of him, somewhat incredulous. Giving away carrots for free? How kind of him?

This guy isn't trying to smash her rabbit head, is he?

Looking at the other person's strange eyes, she became even more convinced of her earlier guess.

Thinking of this, she strategically took a few steps back.

"Of course, it's not entirely without conditions."

Bai An spoke again, but Inaba Tei breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. It was good that there were conditions; she was worried that the other party would have no conditions at all, which would not be a good thing.

"What conditions?"

"I want to pet your bunny ears."

"It's that simple...wait! What did you say?"

Inaba Tei stared at Bai An in astonishment, wondering if his ears were broken.

This guy, is he crazy?

You gave yourself such a precious carrot just to rub your own ears?

"I said I want to pet your bunny ears."

Bai An repeated it.

Upon hearing this, Inaba Tei immediately bristled and shouted angrily.

"A scholar may be killed but not humiliated; even a rabbit has dignity!"

Looking at Inaba Tei's indignant face, Bai An blinked and took out another carrot.

"You think you can make Inaba Tei sell his integrity with two carrots? No way!"

Inaba Tei suppressed his craving for carrots, displaying an unyielding attitude.

But the moment she finished speaking, her eyes widened suddenly.

Bai An kept tugging at her with carrots to tempt her.

One by one, pile after pile, she could hardly count them all.
