According to the old rules, tomorrow's three updates

Chapter 1: Letter to the Future

The third day after departure, the sea of Nice was clear

"Nice Sea" is the name we gave to the sea when we set out. After you fell asleep, probably to change everyone's mood, Hongxia first proposed the suggestion of naming the areas we passed through. The effect is good. The previous river was named Xinqianjiang by me, and the name of Nice Sea comes from a monster that happened to pass by when we named it, which looked like the Loch Ness Monster. Speaking of monsters, monsters in the sea are generally larger than those on the shore, and there is a risk of running aground near the coast, so we didn't take a boat these days, but traveled along the coastline. The hot air balloon is slower, but it can't be done. Azi said she wanted to study advanced teleportation magic, and I hope she can succeed. But I am also designing a new airship. Today, Lisa used local materials to make sea salt cookies, which tasted slightly crisper than before. We found wild coconuts, and Xiduo seemed to like them very much, especially the fact that fashionable decorations were inserted on the coconuts. I hope this can make her feel better. After all, my relationship with her has been a little awkward recently because of Yili. It is difficult for a fair judge to judge family affairs. I don't know how to solve this matter. Let's take it one step at a time.

PS: Rinko's figure playing in the sea breeze is really stunning. I took a few photos with her consent and attached them to this paper.

PS The map showed that Popipa was a million miles away, but luckily we were not in the wrong direction… Actually, we were a little bit wrong. But with the map, we were more confident.

"PS..." Sitting at the wooden table in the shade of trees, Shizi bit the pen, daydreaming for a while, then thought of something to write and lowered his head to write it down.

She was on a cape, with the sea at the bottom of the cliff and a rocky beach that was faintly visible in the waves. The shade of the trees did not extend to the top of the cliff. In order to avoid the scorching sun, Shizi built a small wooden house at the edge of the woods and put a bucket of ice cubes there to cool down. The not-too-direct sunlight, the fresh air in the forest, and the cool breeze cooled by the ice bucket were perfect for thinking.

If there was any benefit to Shizi from her other self's sleep, it was that she finally had a chance to be alone. Since setting up camp today, she had been staying here, recording what she had seen and heard that day.

"What are you writing?" A shadow blocked the light. It was Hong Xia's voice. "Can I take a look? Ah, I don't understand."

Shizi turned around and said, "After all, it's for her, so of course I'll write it in my mother tongue."

"Write to her... Oh, I see." Hong Xia realized, "Just write down the scenery we see on the road, so that she won't miss our journey, right?"

"That's about right." Shizi said, "Do you want to write something too? Our perspectives are different, so the words we write should also be different."

"But I don't speak Chinese..." Hongxia scratched her face.

Shizi burst out laughing: "Just write in Japanese, of course she can understand it."

"Ah, I was stunned." Hong Xia slapped her head, "Then give me a pen, I will write now."

With the rustling footsteps, Yukina and Rinko also came over. They had some sweat on their faces. The weather was getting hotter, and for city kids who were used to air conditioning, it was not necessarily cool even under the shade of trees, so they came to find Shiko. At least, Shiko always had ice cubes by her side.

"Then let me write a little too." After knowing what the two were doing, Youxina said, "I missed the chance to say goodbye to Wu before, so at least let me write a few letters to her." For some reason, she picked up a feather pen from the table. Shizi blinked. The pen was actually prepared by her for Ayako.

"Then I also...ah...photos..." Rinko saw several photos of Rinko on the table. She picked up one. Technically it was perfect, but the fact that her photo was attached to the letter was embarrassing enough. Shiko's face also turned a little red, and she pulled out another one: "Actually...there's not only Rinko's, there's also Ichiri's..."

Linzi's face became redder and redder: "Could it be that... Mr. Wu... likes this type..."

Long hair, social phobia, and very...

"Uh!" Shizi panicked, "No... no... Actually I like all types. If I have to say, I prefer those who are more energetic and smaller in all aspects, similar to... similar to..." Her voice gradually became softer. Because she saw Kita's red hair flash past the window.

"Ah." Seeing that figure, her expression changed for a moment. But she immediately returned to her panicked look, as if nothing had happened. This momentary change was not noticed by anyone.

Shizi quickly ran away from the wooden house as if she couldn't stand the teasing of several people. She went around the back of the house and Kita was still there.

The corners of her eyes relaxed slightly: "Xiduo..."

Kita turned his face away and interrupted Shizi: "I just came... to call you to eat."

"Ah..." After a brief moment of disappointment, Shizi put on a smile again, "Well, what are we having for dinner today?"

After all, Kita had rich social experience and immediately returned to normal.

“Paella,” she said, a little nervously, “and…”

She pulled out a few pages of paper from behind her back.

"These two days, Goto also wrote a letter to Wu, that..." She seemed to be just repeating the words of a stranger, "I wrote too. Here it is." She gently stuffed the paper in her hand into Shizi's hand and turned to leave.

[Corrosion degree…60%]

"Thank you...thank you?" Before Shizi finished thanking, Kita had disappeared behind a tree trunk. Shizi's forced smile disappeared in an instant. She did not take the letter back to the table and put it together with her own letters, but quietly put it in her pocket. When they returned to the cabin, they saw the original Shizi who was furious because her habit was discovered. There seemed to be another blue-haired person next to the table. The blue-haired person looked at Shizi with a happy face, which made her very unhappy.

"Haven't you eaten yet?" she said to Liang unhappily.

"Not hungry yet. Smells like fun here."

Just as Shizi was about to explode, Liang raised the letter in her hand and said: She was also writing a letter to another Shizi. Shizi's words were forced to be held back.

"Thank you...thank you..." She managed to squeeze out a few words. Liang looked at her like this and was even happier: "This is good, I will write it down." She really started writing on the paper.

"Ah - I'm going to die over there, see you guys later." Shizi turned and ran away. A happy laugh came from behind.

At the dining table, the evening breeze blew on everyone's face, and the firelight illuminated everyone's face. Laughter spread in the sound of the waves, and a warm atmosphere surrounded the dining table. Shizi naturally became the target of everyone's teasing. Lisa patted Shizi's shoulder, stuffed a few pieces of letter paper into her hand, gave a thumbs-up with an unknown meaning, and walked away with her mouth covered; Azi proudly showed the mysterious words written on the parchment, and she didn't know whether the other Shizi could understand it, and then said something hurtful like "Rinlin said to be careful of Shizi classmate" and rushed back.

Shizi finally couldn't stand it anymore, jumped directly to Linzi's side, and suddenly held out a bouquet of flowers: "Linzi, actually I have always had a special feeling for you..."

"Hmmmm?!!!" Everyone exclaimed in unison. Rinko's half body froze. Ako was even more direct, standing between the two of them, waving her hands in panic, but unable to say anything. Ichiri was even paler, and it seemed as if her soul was flying out of her body. Only Kita had no reaction and continued to stuff half a spoonful of rice into her mouth.

In the center of everyone's sight, Shizi proudly threw the bouquet in her hand into the air: "Huh - hahahaha! Of course it's all lies! Don't worry, Linzi, my liking for you is definitely not that kind of liking!" She made an exaggerated pose, and the bouquet thrown in the air turned into a rain of flowers, which just floated down from above her head.

Rinko, Ako, and Ichiri all breathed a sigh of relief in silence.

After the revenge was successful, Shizi walked away from the crowd with a triumphant step and sat on a huge rock by the beach. The smile still remained on her face. She took out a few letters she had just received from her pocket. She didn't really want to peek into what others were going to write to their other selves, but...she now held Kita's letter in her hand.

Today's Kita writes to another self...

Shizi's fingers stiffened unconsciously. Her expression changed several times, and finally she put the letter back.

A piece of paper slipped out from the rest of the letter paper. Shizi picked it up and tried to put it back, but found that there was only one word on it.

“Come on.” There is also a cute little emoticon next to it.

It's Lisa's handwriting.

Shizi gave a bitter smile.

ps: The second update time is the same as usual, the third update will be at 21:10

Chapter 2 The Unknown Five

Shizi put the letter back into her pocket, but she didn't rush to deposit it back in the cabin. She lay down where she was, then sat up again, observing the surroundings, confirming that there was no danger, and then her eyes gradually became empty. As long as she was alone, she would start thinking about another song she had commissioned. This had become a habit.

She sat there like this for a long time until Yukina came over.

"I'm sorry to bother you, Wu," she said, sitting down next to Shizi, "I just wanted to confirm our exact location."

Shizi collected her thoughts and returned to work. She moved aside, leaving a space between the two of them, and concentrated her energy. In the open space, shrinking mountains and rivers began to rise and gradually formed a sand table. The sand table was roughly divided into four areas: plateau, plain, mountain range, and desert. A small wooden pole stood in the center, marking the location of the Tower of Babel.

"We are now..." Shizi found a place on the sand table with a thumbtack and pinned it, "Here. We have moved this far from when we set out three days ago." She used another thumbtack to mark their starting point not far away.

"Popipa's position has basically not changed. It's still here." Shizi's hand almost spanned half of the sand table. It was marked in the west of the sand table, near the sea in the mountainous area. The map provided by Giraffe was very powerful. It not only roughly gave the outline of the entire world, but also automatically scanned the surrounding areas and gave a more detailed topographic map. At the same time, it would update the current location of everyone in the entire wilderness in real time. There were nine more people in the desert area in the north. Shizi estimated that they were Shengxiang's group 99, but that was just an estimate because there was no more detailed information.

When she was free, she often let her imagination run wild, climbing over mountains and enjoying the breeze of another coast. Others might live in caves or build a few cabins, but the five of them would never feel tired together. In a blink of an eye, they were deep in the desert, living in an oasis with other excellent and shining people.

But Yukina didn't think so much. "Now that we have the map, we know how slow we were before." Yukina's voice didn't contain much regret. Rather, she rarely revealed emotions in her voice.

She asked Shizi, "Have you made any progress on the new airship that I asked you to design?"

"Hmm." Shizi took out a design drawing and spread it out next to the sand table. "There are still some difficulties in terms of material strength, but the general structure is almost there. This is also because of the experience of making hot air balloons." She took out two jade slips, one transparent and the other in its original jade color. "Regarding the power problem, I found inspiration from them a few days ago."

"I remember this transparent one coming from Yamada-san."

"Yes." Shizi said, "In the past, you had to break the jade slips to use them, but with the recent further analysis of its structure, I found a way to activate it without destroying it, so there is this use--" She held a jade slip in each hand, and in her left hand, ripples began to emanate from the transparent jade slip, and the two heard the low voice of Bess. As the ripples were released, the transparent jade slip began to gradually restore its original jade color, and the jade slip in Shizi's right hand began to emit a transparent luster.

You Xina understood what Shizi meant: "When the one in the left hand is used up, the one in the right hand has completely copied the effect of the one in the left hand. In this way, the two jade slips can circulate back and forth and provide continuous power, right?"

"That's right." Shizi put away the two jade slips. "It turns out that Liang is driving it himself, and the discontinuous power consumption is still high. Most of my jade slips are consumed in making them, and the consumption of copying and activating them is not worth mentioning. With Hongxia's help, we can fly 24 hours a day without interruption - as long as there is no danger in the sky at night."

"But if we want to take into account both propulsion and steering, we have to install this structure on both wings of the airship. Are the jade slips enough?" Youxina remembered that the upper limit of Shizi's ability to make jade slips was determined by his mental strength. Since a part of it was divided by the existence of the second personality, Shizi's mental strength is now the lowest among everyone, even worse than Lisa and Hongxia, who are slow to upgrade because they cannot kill the enemy.

"The more you know about jade slips, the lower the cost of making them. Don't worry." Shizi said, "These quantities are still fine. Maybe one day, making jade slips will be as easy for me as making a small cake."

Youxin nodded. "Ako is in charge of the materials. She is studying enchantment magic, and I asked her to try to increase the strength of the materials." She pointed to a spot on the sand table that was closer to them, "Also, regarding the five people in this area..."

In addition to the popipa who gathered together and the nine people suspected to be from Shaoge Jiujiu Group, there are five more people in the plain area. These five people are scattered, three of them are together, and the other two are acting alone, far away from the trio. They all have no fixed place to live and have been active in one area, with no signs of meeting each other. Although he can't see their information, Shizi doesn't think they are popipa, because popipa will never deliberately separate, and even if they separate, they will definitely reunite soon.

Shizi had many guesses about the identities of these five people: from her experience here, the trio might be SICK HACK in the world view of lonely rock, but in that case, it is hard to say the identities of the other two. Could it be... Some jokes floated through Shizi's mind. She remembered a group that was teased as "the soul of the group is cumin" - MYGO! ! ! ! ! , could it be that time passed so quickly in reality, MYGO! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ? No, no, playing with jokes is playing with jokes, MYGO! ...

"We must take them with us, right?" asked Shizi.

"Of course," Yukina said, "In this world, one more person means one more life. Even if they don't align with our primary goal."

Shizi thought about this and felt a headache again. The primary goal of the ten-man team was to avenge Ms. Marina first, and then go to the Tower of Babel to fight the boss. The goal of the five people was probably different from theirs. Not to mention, if they were strangers to Shizi... Just thinking about this situation, Shizi began to feel the discomfort that was unique to social phobia that she hadn't felt for a long time.

She tapped her head and forced herself to focus on the present.

"When will the material problem be solved?" she asked. She was eager to turn her design into a real product.

"I'll go ask." Yukina stood up and walked over to Ayako. Shiko followed.

Yazi crouched in the parchment without raising his head: "Hehehe... the supreme enchanting magic will be born tomorrow, and the runes inherited from Yuan An will... will... ah, save me, Linlin!"

Shizi didn't wait for Linzi to come over: "Tomorrow, right? Then I'll bring the materials and try it out tomorrow. Thank you for your hard work~"

Shizi walked away, not wanting to disturb Yazi's research. She shook her arms. She had finished all the work she could do, and she felt relieved. Next...

Shiko heard the faint sound of a guitar coming from the direction of the cabin. She tiptoed over and heard Kita and Ryo's voices from inside. Kita was asking Ryo to teach her how to play the guitar.

Shizi looked gloomy and turned away.

Chapter 3 Isn't this great?

"Thank you for your hard work, everyone~" Lisa came to Shizi with some snacks. To be more precise, she came to the construction site of the airship.

"Oh, thank you very much." Shizi reached out to take it. Lisa whispered, "Hand, hand." Shizi then realized that her hands were covered with dust. She smiled awkwardly, and a basin of clean water appeared beside her. After washing her hands, she picked up the cookie again.

"Delicious." She narrowed her eyes.

After the materials were accepted, the construction of the new airship was officially put on the agenda. Unlike the more or less temporary wooden rafts and hot air balloons in the past, the airship will be used as their floating fortress for a long time. Whether it is the lifting system, power system, defense system, or even the habitability of the internal environment, it needs to be carefully designed. After seeing the map, everyone already knew how inefficient the previous means of transportation were; now that the destination has been found, it is the right way to prepare and go all out.

"The airship is about 213 meters long, 82 meters wide, and 52 meters high. It can carry 40 passengers and has a maximum speed of 114514 kilometers per hour. It looks like a whale. The entire airship is built with enchanted materials produced by Udagawa Magic Materials Co., Ltd. It is powered by the 'Yamada-Wu Left Foot Step Right Foot Sky-Up Engine Group' and has 01% coverage by the 'Daniel Smart Shield'. It is also equipped with a set of 'Red Moon-' magic cannons and two sets of 'Starry Sky' series light machine guns. The lighting system consists of two main searchlights and..."

Shizi patted Liang's shoulder from behind and said, "Okay, stop talking nonsense. I didn't invent magic cannons or machine guns. Please move aside. I have to work."

"Oh, okay." Liang stepped aside and let Shizi walk to the half-finished keel of the airship. Shizi walked over, then took a few steps back: "Also, please give the engine unit a nicer name."

Shizi and Yazi worked together to build and enchant the airship. The airship was too big, and Yazi's enchantment magic had a limited coverage area, so they could only do it bit by bit. In addition, in order to make the enchantment effect last longer, each enchantment was a huge expense for Yazi. Shizi, Yazi, and Hongxia worked all day, but only completed half of it. This was just the exterior. When they officially moved in, there would be more work to do. Anyway, except for the three of them, everyone had nothing to do during this period, so they all went out to do their own things, leaving only one or two people to serve as guards for the three of them.

"Are you here alone?" Liang asked Lisa while Shuang was eating snacks. Lisa had no fighting ability at all, so she wouldn't act alone.

"Ah, I came here with Yili." Lisa looked behind her and saw half of Yili's head showing behind the tree trunk.

"Yili, if you don't come over, the things you brought will melt!" She shouted to Yili. Hearing this, Yili came out of his hiding place timidly, and put his hands behind his back, hiding something. It was not until he reached the table that he took out the basket behind him and opened it. Inside were three bowls of shaved ice made from nearby wild fruits and added coconut milk.

"Oh, thank you..." Liang reached out to take it. Lisa grabbed her hand and said, "This is for the three of them. If Liang wants it, I'll make it again."

Yili waved her hand quickly: "Qiqishiliang, if you want to eat it, I can make more. I only have this one bowl..." She pointed to one of the bowls that contained a lot of wild fruits.

"Is it for Shizi?" Lisa asked deliberately.

Yili lowered his head, blushing: "...Yes."

Seeing Yili's expression, Lisa knew she couldn't tease him any more. "Do you want to send it over yourself?" she asked. Yili shook his head desperately: "I can't do it, I can't do it, I can't do it..." So she picked up the basket and sent it to the three of them: "I'm sorry to bother you at the beginning, Yili made this by himself."

"Little Pochi?" Hongxia was a little surprised. She had never seen Yili make any desserts, let alone make them for others. She looked at the shaved ice in the basket, which looked very good. She didn't know why, but she felt touched: "You have grown up... Little Pochi..."

"Ah... don't cry..." Lisa pointed at Shizi's bowl, "Shizi, this bowl was specifically given to you by Yili himself."

Shizi looked at the obvious difference between this bowl and the other two bowls and understood something.

Yazi blinked: "It looks like the husband is working on a construction site, and his wife brings meals to him and his coworkers." Hongxia had no time to stop her, and she had to hide her hand behind her back again when she was about to remind her.

Shizi seemed not to hear. She just looked at the shaved ice in front of her.

On the other side, Liang turned around and yawned: "It's time to change shifts, Pochi, I'll leave it to you next."

"oh oh!"

When Liang was about to leave, she heard Yili talking to herself: "I made several bowls for Kita-san... I said I just wanted her to help look at the finished product, it shouldn't be too abrupt... Why doesn't she look very happy..."

Liang paused and continued walking forward. In the dense forest, Kita was already waiting for her.

"Yudai, where do we start today?" Sitting down in the wooden house, the two of them each picked up a guitar.

"Let's start with... the part we practiced last time. That's the part I always have trouble playing."

Today, Ryo's private tutoring of Kita continues.

"Ah." The pick bounced out of Kita's hand and fell to the ground.

Ryo put down his guitar: "Ikuyo, I'm a little distracted."

Kita picked up the pick and held it in his hand: "Sorry, I will try my best."

[Corrosion degree...80%]

"But you haven't been working as hard as before recently." Liang put the guitar back into her bag. "Let's just leave it at that for today. If you're not in good shape, it's useless to force yourself to practice." She put on her bag, walked to the door, turned around, and saw Kita still sitting in his seat, holding the pick.
