Is the person you sculpt as cute as me?

Win, win, win—promotion.

Of course, there are rewards.

"It has nice-looking graphics, tokens you can exchange for materials, and even bonus bags with all sorts of goodies... In short, it's just like any other game; the higher your rank, the more rewards you get."

"Oh, so that's a normal 5 vs. 5 fight?"

"There are three types: one-on-one, 22-person, and 55-person... When the world arena opens, there will be a larger scale." Of course, Yu Man didn't forget to add, "I saw it from the official website."

"Then no equipment will be dropped?"

"Well, feel free to play, but players have different specializations and equipment, so they will be balanced when they enter."

"Oh, Heaven's Suppression!"

The arena is a novice village used to discover new players after the game became professionalized. Only by making a name for themselves here can players have the opportunity to make it a career and make a lot of money.

So – it’s boring.

Even in the first week, Yu Man had not played these contents.

But when I heard Yu Man talking about this - Senior Cat stood with his cat ears erect, spinning around stealthily.

It is very anxious.

It is the ultimate expert in this field, unrivaled... but unfortunately, it can't say anything.

"Brother, do you have anything else to ask? If not, I'm leaving."

"Okay—be careful on the road, and contact me immediately if anything happens... I can smooth things over for you."

After she gave serious instructions, Yu Man was finally let out of the house.

……

The landlady had been kind-hearted and rented the house to Yu Man at a low price, so she had to go and thank her in person and settle the matter.

Unfortunately, he didn’t have money to buy souvenirs yet, so Yu Man silently took note and thought he would make up for it later.

There was no trouble in canceling the lease.

The landlady was drinking tea with a few neighbors, all of whom were retired grandparents.

Seeing a girl like Yu Man coming over, who could understand Cantonese, the whole house suddenly burst into joy, and Yu Man also shamelessly got some snacks and tea.

By the way - it means that you have found a home and everything is fine in life.

The landlady finally felt relieved and started muttering something about "a cat demon that can speak human language has appeared" and "the master's exorcism was effective". She was sure that Yu Man was not scared away by the cat demon and immediately smiled happily.

The person involved looked embarrassed.

Return the keys, clear out personal belongings from the house, make sure no appliances or items are lost, and leave the lease cleanly.

The handover went smoothly and the landlady was even happier.

Then, because Yu Man didn't rent the apartment for a full month, she even refunded her four hundred yuan, which was like a blessing from heaven for Yu Man.

After some polite exchanges, all parties were happy and the matter was settled.

……

After walking——

Two business people, a man and a woman, walked into the residential area.

He gave the confused landlady a thank-you gift that could not be refused.

Then he disappeared just as quickly as he had come.

……

The matter was settled, and Yu Man was excited as he held the huge sum of money from the lease termination.

Oh, I can finally buy something!

The trees in the nearby green area cast light and shadows, so Yu Man sat down on them to rest and looked up unknown knowledge on his mobile phone.

"How do girls buy underwear?", "Cup size" and so on.

These rigorous scientific contents guide Yu Man into the unknown world.

She could finally own a few normal sets of clothes to change into without having to rely on her own inheritance.

Of course, I also need to buy toothbrushes, towels, nail clippers, combs, and other household items. There's no need to buy more warming stuff; after the Spring Festival, the weather will only get warmer... Just like my life, it's finally starting to get better.

But things did not go smoothly.

I was a complete novice yesterday, and today I wanted to challenge the third-level dungeon directly, but I couldn’t do it after all.

For this kind of problem, I can't find a professional like Xiaolu to take care of it, otherwise it would be difficult to explain myself.

and many more.

Yu Man suddenly thought that there was someone she could consult.

……

"So, Xiaoman, you want me, your cat, to buy you underwear?"

"Ah."

After returning to his residence and greeting the household robot, Yu Man held the Triple Crown in the courtyard and talked about this matter.

Now she has 400 yuan in her hand and feels very confident.

Although I can't buy those luxury and expensive brands, I should be able to buy affordable goods, right?

Senior Cat was a high school girl in her previous life, and we knew each other well, so it was a perfect match.

Can--

"...Alas, such ancient knowledge. I need to recall it." Senior Cat fell into deep thought.

"What's going on? Aren't you a woman? Isn't this instinctive knowledge?"

Senior Cat yawned. "Yes, but if you were a college graduate and went to a strange place to change your career and work for three years, would you still remember the knowledge you learned in the college entrance examination?"

"...makes sense."

"Anyway, let's measure your measurements first..." Senior Cat looked at Yu Man. Although she was wearing a loose sweatshirt, her miserable situation was obvious to the naked eye.

Senior Cat stopped talking about measuring measurements and changed the subject.

"Once you're online, I'll help you with it on your phone. Don't worry about it."

"Good good."

When the time comes, just buy Xiaoman two sets of large-sized children's styles, and don't worry about bras.

It was almost noon and the sun was warm.

The flowers and plants in the courtyard are very exquisite, and birds and bees visit from time to time.

Senior Cat was more interested in the other world: "How's your progress?"

"It's about the same as before. I can make a soul weapon after a few more days of grinding."

"Didn't you forget what I said? The Rainbow Achievement is closely related to the skill?" Senior Cat asked, "Did you get the Rainbow Achievement?"

"I got a lot... First player kill, first guild creation, first—"

"Wait! Not to mention there was more than one, you're the first one to kill a player?"

"Ah."

After sighing for a while, Senior Cat started to complain: "Hey, the number one in PVP, Master Xiaoman is invincible, the first to kill in the world..."

In return, Yu Man patted his head gently, dispelling his sarcastic attitude.

"Senior Cat, do you know how to level up an Enchanter? The Deer has reached the top of the World Tree, and the Traveler has already leveled up like crazy, but I'm still at level one."

"...You don't even know this? Yun?"

"I didn't learn about its leveling during the first round, but I know other things. This adventurer class has 33 enchanting skills, and can also make equipment, craft products, and collect natural elements. It's very abnormal and very expensive... It's really powerful to use. I'm still at level 1 and it's already very useful."

Senior Cat nodded, straightened his attitude, and became visibly more energetic.

"Enchanter—that's your adventurer class. The way to level up is very similar to my grinder. Leveling up isn't about making a lot of products or gathering a lot of elements. It's essentially about honing yourself."

It turned out to be the case.

Yu Man suddenly understood. No wonder he had never reached level 2 in terms of collecting snowflakes, enchanting skills, and making enchanted backpacks.

Since it's similar to the grinder—wait?

Yu Man thought of something, and his eyes suddenly changed: "Senior Mao, you are the sword sacrificer, right?"

"Well, I was the only one who became the sword sacrificer in my round. That's pretty cool."

"No one became one during my playthrough, but I know there's this hidden class... It's supposed to be the ultimate advancement of the Adventurer class, the Grinder..."

"Not bad!"

Senior Cat became proud, stretched out his claws and then retracted them, introducing excitedly.

"Grinders can gather whetstones from mountains and rivers to help blades increase damage and durability, and even grant them additional functionality. But the path to advancement is to sharpen yourself. I felt it was strange at the time. Am I supposed to become the whetstone myself?"

It pressed Yu Man's mouth with its claws to prevent him from interrupting.

"Later, I became a tenth-rank grinder and maxed out my sword specialization. Only then did I realize that I was actually refining myself into a sword. The hidden conditions of the Sword Sacrifice were unlocked... The road after that was too difficult, so I won't go into details."

Senior Cat's expression suddenly became sad.

"But in the end, I became a sword sacrificer and discovered that this profession isn't overly strong. It doesn't disrupt the balance... I can only say that it suits me perfectly. It's strong because I'm strong."

"Then you have successfully polished yourself." Yu Man wiped the mud and cat hair off his mouth.

"Yes, so that's a good thing. Speaking of which, maybe your enchanter also has a hidden route... though I haven't heard of it."

This was also what Yu Man had thought of before.

“Only those who reach the end know whether the road has an end.”

064·Swords into Plowshares

In addition, Yu Man has something else he wants to share with Senior Cat.

"I got a piece of the root of the World Tree..."

She briefly described the content of the branch.

After hearing this, Senior Cat looked surprised.

"So you didn't return it to the World Tree, but kept it for yourself?"

"That's embarrassing. I wanted to repay it, but the description of the tree root changed. It became something like 'The World Tree is willing to give it to strangers who meet it for the first time.'"

"I understand. Little Sister Yggdrasil is the type who is afraid of having people come to visit during the New Year, so I just gave it to you."

"...That makes some sense." It happened to be Chinese New Year.

Senior Cat then asked, "What level of material is it?"

"Special material, no class, not a raw material, ice-based." Yu Man said whatever came to his mind, and that was the end of his introduction.

"Wow, that's perfect for your ice magic. The World Tree might be a bit exaggerated, but a random root you give away should only be level five or six... about the same difficulty as the side quests. Looks like I'll be able to use it soon."

Soon?

Yu Man shook his head. The land in the main city was in a state of disrepair.

Even though the burden of upgrading and maintaining the workshop was handed over to Yago's guild, they still haven't recruited a single person... Sigh.

But on second thought, there is no such thing as buying land or building workshops in other main cities now. Everyone is still focusing on challenging the third-level dungeon, and very few people can pass it.

Forget it, just wait patiently.

While talking about this, Yu Man heard some noise.

It’s not the deer that’s offline from the game, but a household robot.

Wearing an apron and work clothes, the high-end beauty of silver-white always makes people sigh.
