I really don't want to date a girl addicted to the internet!

"I see, thank you for your grace, Your Majesty." The boy breathed a sigh of relief exaggeratedly.

"Trash, so please cooperate with the treatment and don't waste my good intentions." The girl looked disgusted.

"I'm already cooperating, although I feel that in the end it will only increase my interest in your face, without diminishing anything else." The boy sighed comfortably.

"What did you say?" The girl's eyes narrowed.

"If you don't want to hear it, then pretend I didn't say anything." The boy's expression hardened and he shut his mouth.

"You ungrateful Cheng Feiyu, you'd be better off dead if you're so unambitious!" He suddenly couldn't hold back any longer and shouted.

"I'm just telling the truth. Is it wrong, Teacher Shen, to be unable to control my liking for your body?!"

"I know in my heart how disgusting my own filthy desires are!"

The Panamera flashed by on the viaduct, and it seemed as if a heated conversation was being swept into the air by the whistling wind.

Back on Guang'an Street, Cheng Fei originally wanted to go home with Shen Xi, but after being ordered to hurry up and go online, he was ruthlessly kicked back to his rented room.

……

Our gaze shifts to another world.

At the foot of the towering World Tree, a small floating island floats quietly on a sea of ​​pure white, dense clouds.

Leia left the Gerster family's inn and came to the edge of the floating island, where another silver-haired elf with a sword stood.

"Eve, how is the situation?" The elven saintess looked at her guard.

“Everything is normal, Your Highness.” Eve bowed her head in greeting.

"That's good." Leia stood beside her, gazing at the sea of ​​clouds and the World Tree so close at hand.

“Your Highness, you were on watch last night. Go and rest. I can handle things here,” Eve said softly.

"I'm fine, don't worry about me." Leia shook her head casually.

In the months since she embarked on her journey from Spring Town, the safety of the Miriam has been largely her responsibility, with Shadow offering little assistance. She has become accustomed to a life on constant alert, a situation that remained unchanged even with Eve and Vino joining her.

She would do everything in her power to protect the ship until they reached the roots of the World Tree, otherwise she would not only have failed herself, but also the companions on board who had rescued her from Spring Town and trusted her...

At that moment, a voice came from the Miriam, which was docked in a corner of the floating island.

"Teacher Shen, don't you think it would be more efficient for us as a whole to split up and let me go do my work while you direct things from here?"

"Fine, if you don't want to come, you don't have to. Just disappear now."

"Fine, you seem really keen to play with me, so I'll keep you company."

"By the way, did you two have a smooth trip today?"

"It went very smoothly, Nana. We also went to the company. The prototype can already walk. I'll take you to see it next time."

"Okay~ Cheng Fei, take me wherever you want."

"Ha, shameless vixen."

Under the watchful eyes of Leia and Eve, the three of them jumped off the ship's side while talking, greeted them, and headed towards the inn.

"Teacher Shen, Nana, have you noticed that your characters have gotten a bit stronger lately?" Cheng Fei asked, looking at the two agile individuals.

"It seems so?" Nagasaki Asuna tilted her head with her hands behind her back. "But she's still far inferior to Cheng Fei."

"Of course, after all, I sometimes have zero, and my character's base stats are high, and my equipment is good too." The boy shrugged.

"So, how do we increase basic attributes?" Nagasaki Asuna tapped her chin with her fingertip.

"Usually, it's fixed once the character is created, so it's more realistic to look at the equipment," the boy said casually.

“I see~” Nagasaki Asuna’s clear eyes followed his expression, and she nodded obediently.

Shen Xi suddenly let out a cold laugh.

"Why is Teacher Shen laughing?" Cheng Fei glanced at her without changing his expression.

"It's nothing, I just remembered that some scoundrels promised to send me top-tier equipment months ago and I still haven't seen it." The girl said indifferently.

"Little friend, I know you really want it, but we have to wait until we get back to the corridor, right?" the boy said helplessly.

Shen Xi turned her face away from him.

Just then, a baby-faced girl wearing an apron ran excitedly from the hotel to the three of them, holding a glass in her hand. "Everyone, I did it!"

"What did you do, maid classmate?" Cheng Fei glanced at the glass in her hand, which was like a beaker with graduations and contained some kind of clear liquid with sediment.

"I'm a light magic craftsman, not a maid! How many times do I have to say it?!" Vino stomped her foot in annoyance and placed the beaker in front of Shen Xi. "I obtained this by grinding and extracting the leaves of the tree spirit."

"What is this? Starch water?" Cheng Fei leaned closer to examine it, his expression serious. "Are you planning to use it to cook? Could it be poisonous?"

"What starch water? You have no eyesight! Look down!" The baby-faced girl shook the beaker, letting the milky white sediment slosh away. Some transparent crystals that had been growing on the beaker wall appeared in it, reflecting a strange light.

Shen Xi took the item and examined it, her delicate brows furrowing slightly. "Is this a Light Magic Crystal?"

“That’s right, I’ve already confirmed it!” Vino nodded, hands on her hips.

"The tree spirit's leaves contain light magic crystals, so it makes sense that it can fly." The aloof girl pondered, stroking her chin.

"Vino is really amazing." Nagasaki Asuna clapped her hands slightly beside her, her expression full of surprise and support.

"Not at all, it's just a very simple job." The baby-faced girl gave a modest smile, clasped her hands together, and bowed slightly, but she couldn't help but look a little smug.

"Teacher Shen, don't you think these tree spirits might be bred from the World Tree?" Cheng Fei thought for a moment.

Shen Xi nodded, "It's very possible. If the World Tree absorbs light magic particles to reproduce, it can completely explain the decrease in the amount of light magic particles in the atmosphere."

769. Nagasaki Asuna imitates Shen Xi again.

"What World Tree is absorbing light magic particles? What are you talking about?" Vino asked suspiciously.

"It's just a guess, don't worry about it. It's a classmate who looks a lot like a maid, the Light Magic Craftsman." Cheng Fei shrugged.

"You!" The baby-faced girl stared at him, speechless.

"Well, if that's the case, doesn't that mean that what's below the sea of ​​clouds..." Nagasaki Asuna rubbed her arms with both hands, shivering as if she were thinking of some unpleasant scene.

"They might all be tree spirits, or maybe even miniature world trees," Cheng Fei nodded, trying to imagine.

"Are there also Light Magic Crystals in the roots of the World Tree deep within the normal continent?" Shen Xi suddenly thought of something and looked at Weinuo.

The baby-faced girl nodded immediately. "Of course, actually I read a record of someone extracting the Light Magic Crystal from the roots of the World Tree, and I tried to extract it from the tree spirit's leaves using the same method."

Cheng Fei and Shen Xi exchanged a glance.

Asuna Nagasaki pondered for a moment, then exclaimed, "Eh, could it be that we've discovered some incredible secret?"

Shen Xi shook her head. "There's no point in speculating too much now. Let's hurry up and go to Fog Town to purchase supplies and prepare for the next step of the operation as soon as possible."

After some discussion, the Miriam temporarily left the Gerst family's inn and headed to the nearby Fog Town.

The teardrop-shaped airship sails in the airspace known as the Misty Islands. According to Gerst, the visible broken landmass is only the outer edge of the Misty Islands. A considerable portion of the area close to the World Tree is submerged by a sea of ​​clouds, and sailing inside could result in running aground, which is quite dangerous.

"And Fog Town is located on the dividing line that is about to be submerged. It is the only way to reach the roots of the World Tree. With the sunrise and sunset every day, the sea of ​​clouds will also rise and fall. Fog Town is shrouded in the sea of ​​clouds for about a quarter of the day. At that time, you can see the thick white fog engulfing the entire town..." Cheng Fei said like a tour guide in the driver's seat.

"Shut up, there's no need for you to talk nonsense about something everyone already knows." Shen Xi gripped the joystick expressionlessly.

Cheng Fei zipped up his mouth.

The Miriam was slowly approaching the land where Fog Town was located. This land was much smaller than the mainland of Spring Town, and you could see the end of it at a glance.

Soon, the airship landed at the town's dock. After paying a fee, Rhea and Eve stayed behind while the rest of the group disembarked.

It was probably low tide, and the streets were completely visible; everything seemed normal.

"Huh, so many flagpoles?" Nagasaki Asuna looked up, shading her eyes with her hand, puzzled.

Many buildings in front of them had flags flying high.

"It's probably so that it's easier to spot during high tide, Nana," Cheng Fei said after thinking for a moment.

Shen Xi gave him a light kick and spoke in an unquestionable tone, "We'll split up as before. The vixen will be in charge of leading the group to purchase supplies. You can ask Zhou Han and the others to come online to help, it's up to you. Cheng Feiyu and I will purchase fuel."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Nagasaki Asuna bowed her head obediently.

"Now they know to split up again." Cheng Fei shook his head and sighed.

Then, after being glared at by a chilling gaze, he immediately straightened up and shut his mouth.

In the following time, the group began to move about, and with their experience in purchasing supplies in Riften, they proceeded in an orderly manner.

During the trip, a high tide occurred, and a white fog that appeared out of nowhere suddenly enveloped everything, making visibility very poor. However, the locals were used to this, and the group did not encounter any accidents.

After a day's work, the Miriam returned along the same route and docked at the Gerst family's inn. Here, not only could they save on room fees, but they could also save on boat berth fees, which was quite a bargain.

……

By the time Cheng Fei took off his helmet, it was almost dark.

The boy spent a little time tidying up the room. After the typhoon, it took him a lot of effort to restore everything to its original state, and there were still some things he hadn't had time to put away.

After some time, as the boy looked at the small but tidy room with satisfaction, there was a knock on the door.

He opened the door, and a soft, alluring body immediately rushed in.

"Idiot, aren't you afraid of falling to the ground?" Cheng Fei caught Nagasaki Asuna, put his arm around her, and closed the door.

“With Cheng Fei around, Nana won’t get hurt.” Nagasaki Asuna shook her head with certainty.

"I can't do anything with you." The boy ruffled her hair, straightened her up, and looked her up and down.

Today, the girl's long coffee-colored hair was tied into two smooth ponytails hanging down her back. She wore a white Lolita-style dress with cutouts at the shoulders that revealed her smooth skin. Her slender waist was cinched, and the dress was adorned with intricate decorative ribbons and bows.

Beneath the skirt, her shapely and slender legs were encased in thin white pantyhose, the rounded joints revealing a delicate pale pink hue that was captivating. She wore a pair of matching white high heels, which jingled crisply as she walked.

It can be said that this outfit has absolutely no practical value and exists purely for aesthetic purposes. However, it is precisely because it perfectly complements the girl's 9-point charm that the power of the numerical value is fully revealed. It is probably to the point that it will capture the attention of the entire street when walking down the street.

"Tsk tsk~ Today I'm wearing a Lolita dress, what do you think, Cheng Fei?" Nagasaki Asuna opened her arms and smiled, then leaned forward with her hands behind her back, getting closer to the boy. Because of her high heels, she didn't have to stand on tiptoe anymore.

"It looks great." The boy pinched the sweet, smiling face.

"Hehehe~ I'm so happy." Nagasaki Asuna's clear and bright eyes curved into two crescent moons as she jumped into his arms and looked up at him. "Tomorrow, I want to stay with Cheng Fei all the time. I've already told Shen Xi, okay?"

The boy thought for a moment and nodded, "Whatever makes you happy, it's a holiday anyway."

"Mmm~" The girl walked briskly, then took the boy's arm and leaned her head against it, looking like she was enjoying herself.

"Silly girl, have you had dinner yet?" Cheng Fei felt the delicate and soft touch of her facial skin as he led her into the bedroom.

"No, do you want Nana to cook now? But the dress is for Cheng Fei, it wouldn't be good if it got dirty beforehand." Nagasaki Asuna looked up, her face innocent and bewildered.

"Then let's order takeout." The boy shook his head, sat down, and took out his phone.

The girl sat down beside him with her legs together, her small hands on her knees, staring intently at his profile. "Cheng Fei, classmate."

"what?"

"Does the cat have a question?"

"speak."

"How can I improve the basic attributes of the corridor?" Nagasaki Asuna tilted her head, a hint of curiosity on her face.

"You've read my mind again?" The boy glanced at her, unsurprised.

"I feel like Cheng Fei deliberately didn't explain in front of Shen Xi, so I'm a little concerned," the girl thought for a moment.

"If she notices, she'll start studying me over there again." The boy pouted helplessly as he ordered takeout. "I don't know how you guys are going to improve my base stats either."

Even if you use body lotion to increase your charm, it only applies to Nagasaki Asuna's own stats; her game character doesn't change accordingly. Only Cheng Fei can enjoy the attribute sharing between the two.

"I understand now, kitty." Nagasaki Asuna nodded thoughtfully, showing no intention of asking any further questions.

"Speaking of which, you really sold me out completely, Nana," Cheng Fei suddenly grabbed the girl's face and said without looking up.

"Hey, what did the cat do wrong again?" Nagasaki Asuna's eyes widened slightly as she covered her face with the boy's hand.

"There's nothing wrong with it, but I only discovered today that she's been secretly studying my eyes all along," Cheng Fei sighed.

Nagasaki Asuna paused for a moment, then understood what was going on, and her tone became cautious, "But if the cat doesn't tell her these things, she will make things difficult for the cat, and Cheng Fei also wants the cat to get along well with her."

"Idiot, I didn't mean to blame you. You can handle this yourself." The boy shook his head.

Now that things have come to this, he has given up on stopping him. Anyway, given Shen Xi's intelligence, he will eventually notice his various abnormalities after spending time with him. The system agreement states that for security reasons, secrets should not be leaked, and it seems there should be no problem for now.
