Please be my partner.

Youmu nodded and began to explain to Melen the Twilight Realm and the various things that needed to be paid attention to in the previous world.

Time passed quickly, and soon the other three team members returned one after another. They were one man and two women.

The man was a dwarf named Manlio. Although he looked like an uncle, according to himself, he was still a young man.

Manlio wears heavy armor and is good at using hammers and axes as weapons. He is an extraordinary warrior with amazing strength.

The other two girls are twin sisters, they are half-elves. The elder sister is called Emma, an archer, and the younger sister is called Ella, a mage.

Captain Yuki is an agile swordsman.

All four of them had legendary strength, and it wasn't like they had just met before. They had been on several adventures together before, so they had a preliminary foundation of trust.

Originally their team was full, but one of them left, so while the other team members went to prepare, Youmu was thinking about whether he could find a new member to join. He happened to see Melen who had just completed the registration.

After everyone had introduced themselves, Melen introduced himself: "Meren, I'm a beastmaster."

"It's the Beast Tamer." Manlio muttered, seeming a little regretful, but didn't say much.

In fact, for a team like theirs, there is no shortage of melee and ranged combatants. It would be best to have a profession with auxiliary abilities and can provide healing.

However, there are no such things as temporary teams. In fact, the fundamental purpose of most temporary teams is just to collect money for a wave of teleportation. When they return, they can just find another temporary team.

After a brief acquaintance with each other, everyone set off for the Low-Dimensional World Adventurer's Association.

Before this, Melen took the initiative to pay 200 magic gold coins to Yumu as the transmission fee.

Yumu had nothing to be embarrassed about. He took it with a smile and said, "Our team doesn't have so many rules. The rewards from the adventure will be distributed according to the merits."

Mellen nodded, but he was noncommittal in his heart. After all, it was a temporary team. Although he felt that these people were quite friendly, one could not judge a person by his appearance. No one could expect someone he just met to maintain a life-and-death friendship with him.

Only by not actively calculating your own interests and successfully completing a few adventures together can basic trust between each other be truly established.

The Low-Dimensional World Adventurer Association in Shenyu City has a huge area, which is divided into independent small spaces. This is the place for teleporting into the low-dimensional world.

After Melen and the others presented their respective membership certificates and paid 1000 magic gold coins, they successfully obtained the teleportation permission.

There is no fixed teleportation point in the Dusk Realm, so they need to go to a nearby fixed anchor point first. They had already agreed before coming that the destination of this teleportation is the Flower Fairy Realm.

They followed the staff's instructions and came to area 369. After determining the location, the transmission started.

Going from the real world to the low-dimensional world is an act of dimensionality reduction, which is completely different from the emptiness and oppression that Mellen felt when he went to the high-dimensional world before. During this process, Mellen felt that he was expanding, and even had the illusion that he had become a demigod and transcended mythology.

Of course, Melen also understood that illusions were just illusions after all. To be honest, part of his overall "mass" was lost during the dimensionality reduction process, and it would take some time to recover when he returned to the real world in the future.

When all the abnormalities stopped, Melen opened his eyes and saw an endless sea of flowers. The full fragrance permeated his mouth and nose. It was the smell of hundreds of flowers, strong but not greasy, and refreshing.

After a while, Yumu and the others gradually came back to their senses. Yumu sighed, "Every time I come to the Flower Fairyland, I can't help but want to immerse myself in the beautiful scenery here."

Sisters Emma and Ella also nodded in agreement. They also appreciated the beautiful scenery before them.

Manlio curled his lips inappropriately and said, "It's just some flowers and plants, the smell is a bit pungent."

Youmu looked at Manlio speechlessly, but after all, they had been together for some time, so he knew that the latter just liked to argue and actually had no ill intentions.

Moreover, Manlio possesses the loyalty and bravery that most dwarves possess, making him a very reliable teammate.

After the incident, Yumu said to Melen, "This should be your first time entering a low-dimensional world, right? Don't be fooled by the outside world's perception. Although you have crossed dimensions, your strength has not changed much."

Mellen nodded in understanding.

Then, Yu Mu pointed to the sea of flowers and said, "The reason why this low-dimensional world is called the Flower Fairy World is because of their existence."

"Many of these flowers are in bud, about to bloom. Within them reside a life form called a 'Flower Fairy.' If you approach a flower and awaken the sleeping Flower Fairy, you might receive their blessing, or you might suffer their curse. Therefore, it's best not to provoke them unless necessary."

Mellen nodded again. He already knew about this rule of the Flower Fairy Realm. No matter whether it was a blessing or a curse, the greatest influence was still the legend, because no matter what low-dimensional rule it was, the saint could offset the part that was not favorable to him through his own rules.

Of course, if the rules of the low-dimensional world are too powerful, even saints cannot be 100% immune.

Therefore, if you want to conquer a low-dimensional world, the best way is to figure out all the rules in it as much as possible.

Led by sisters Emma and Irene, the group carefully avoided the flower buds. The two sisters would re-identify the direction from time to time, as if they were looking for something.

You Mu whispered to Mellen, "Emma and Ella's mother is a wood elf. She is naturally close to plants and has a special sensitivity to them. This is why we defined the flower fairy as the starting point."

After three days of trekking, the group passed through an endless sea of flowers, crossed a giant mushroom forest, experienced attacks by red worms, waded through a river covered with algae, and finally arrived at a forest.

Yumu exhaled and pointed at a gigantic tree in the forest that was clearly dozens of times taller than the other trees, reaching over a thousand meters tall. He said, "That's our target... the Old Man Tree."

"The Old Man looks like a tree. Of course, it is indeed a tree, but what we see in front of us is just a section of its roots. The real body of the Old Man is actually the main structure that supports the entire Flower Fairy World."

"We need to get the token from the old tree man here, and use its power to travel to the Twilight Realm."

In the low-dimensional world, it is not difficult to cross the world and go to other low-dimensional worlds. But as I said before, there are countless low-dimensional worlds, disordered and chaotic. Once you rashly go to other low-dimensional worlds without positioning yourself, it is easy to get lost.

Crossing the forest and arriving at the roots of the old tree, you can see its huge size more clearly. There are a lot of vines wrapped around the roots, giving a feeling of having gone through the vicissitudes of time.

The two sisters, Emma and Irene, first skipped to the roots, put their palms on them, and muttered something.

After a moment, they each took out a crystal bottle and began to pour the liquid inside.

Melen could feel the abundant life energy contained in these liquids.

The crystal bottle was a spatial item, and the two sisters took several minutes to pour out all the liquid inside.

Amidst the rumbling sound, the vines on the roots stretched and entangled, turning into a winding vine ladder.

Yumu called out to Melen, and the group went up the vine ladder.

PS: There will be another chapter later, but it will probably be after 12 o'clock.

Chapter 444: Dusk Realm and Separation

More than ten minutes later, the group followed the vine ladder to the top of the old tree's roots, where there was a platform.

Youmu looked at the sisters Emma and Irene, who nodded to indicate that they had completed the communication and just needed to wait.

After a while, a vine stretched out, with a green light flashing on it, and soon five small leaves with green light grew out.

Melen and his friends each picked a piece, which was the location of the Flower Fairy World. As long as they did not walk too far away, they could use this to return to the Flower Fairy World.

The vines retracted, and a huge halo appeared above their heads. The space inside the halo collapsed, revealing a dim scene.

At this time, Melen and the others had already changed into their costumes and wrapped themselves tightly. After looking at each other to confirm each other's situation, they jumped up at the same time, hand in hand, and entered the halo.

If the teleportation of the Low-Dimensional World Adventurer Association is equivalent to a high-speed train, which is smooth and fast, then the teleportation at this time is equivalent to riding a hand-cranked tractor, which not only shakes violently, but also feels like it will "stall" at any time.

Fortunately, the worst situation did not happen. When they came to their senses, they had arrived in an environment similar to the Gobi Desert.

There were thick clouds in the sky, and nothing resembling the sun could be seen. Looking around, the whole world was shrouded in a layer of dim light.

After taking a quick look around and confirming there were no dangers, Yumu said, "Our plan for this adventure is to explore the surrounding area, documenting and confirming any dangers and available resources. This information can be exchanged for a large number of points from the association."

"In addition, during this process we must also collect as much dusk embers as possible. This can be regarded as our guaranteed harvest."

As he spoke, Youmu carefully took out five circular concave mirrors with a diameter of one meter.

Yu Mu distributed the circular concave mirrors to several people and said, "These are the props that can collect dusk embers. Don't underestimate them. These are not ordinary mirrors, but specially made props with extremely high reflectivity."

In a world with a well-developed industrial system, the reflectivity of a normal mirror can reach over 90%. If it goes above this, the production cost will increase significantly, and their use will no longer be for daily use.

For example, mirrors with a reflectivity of more than 95% are usually used for solar power generation or cutting-edge experiments.

The circular concave mirrors that Yu Mu took out had undergone corresponding extraordinary processing, and their reflectivity reached over 99.95%, so they were naturally quite precious.

The 'dusk' in the Dusk Realm is itself a special energy, but it is scattered throughout the world and is normally difficult to collect.

However, "Dusk" has the characteristics of light and can be reflected by mirrors, so you only need to place this special circular concave mirror under the illumination of "Dusk". After a period of time, a large amount of "Dusk" will gather into substance, which is...Dusk embers.

In fact, if you want to collect a large amount of dusk embers, a larger concave mirror is a better choice.

However, firstly, from the perspective of manufacturing technology and extraordinary processing, the cost of a larger concave mirror will increase exponentially; secondly, the Dusk Realm is not a peaceful place. The gathering of a large amount of "Dusk" energy in a short period of time will attract monsters from this world.

Therefore, for a temporary team like Yumu and his team, the concave mirror they use has the best overall cost-effectiveness.

Melen followed Yumu's teaching and put the round concave mirror on his head. It looked a little funny, but neither Manlio nor the two sisters Ella and Irene cared about it.

After all, making money is not shameful.

Melen could feel that the 'dusk' energy was slowly converging through the aggregation effect of the circular concave mirror above his head. The principle was similar to using a magnifying glass to concentrate sunlight. In this process, the 'dusk' energy gradually transformed from illusory gaseous energy to actual liquid energy.

In addition, the circular concave mirror itself has the ability to aggregate, bind and collect energy.

Seeing that the team members were ready, Youmu said, "Next, we will split into two groups to explore the surrounding area. Manlio, Ella, and Irene, you will be in one group, and Melen and I will be in the other. We should stay close to each other and communicate every ten minutes. We should meet every other day. Is that okay?"

The others nodded in agreement.

The team split up and walked for a while. Yumu asked curiously, "Meren, aren't you going to summon your pet?"

Meren nodded and summoned Garuru.

Yumu's eyes narrowed when he saw the robot dog. He said in shock, "Legendary Peak?" Then he said to Mellen with envy, "I didn't expect they'd recruit such a master this time."

Mellen smiled casually and said, "That's true. I'm as tall as three or four stories."

Yumu naturally didn't understand Mellen's joke and just thought he was bragging.

The Gobi environment is extremely desolate. Apart from the dim light and the wind and sand all over the sky, there doesn't seem to be many resources to be discovered.

However, every few distances, Youmu would dig up the sand underground and occasionally find some turbid yellow crystals.

Yu Mu explained, "These crystals are similar to Dusk Embers. Unfortunately, they were mixed with too many impurities during their natural formation process. Their value is not even one percent of the volume of Dusk Embers."

Having said that, Youmu still collected these turbid crystals.

While moving forward, Mellen took advantage of Yumu's inattention and stretched out a finger outside the jumpsuit. Under the illumination of "dusk", he could clearly feel that something invisible in his body was being dissolved.

This is... life span!

Mellen attached layers of rule power to his fingers, and the rate of lifespan consumption suddenly dropped significantly, roughly equivalent to 1:1.1, which was basically negligible.

Before they knew it, an hour had passed, and the circular concave mirror above their heads began to emit regular fluctuations.

When they took down the circular concave mirror, they saw that a ball of dark yellow light that seemed to be flowing had gathered in the center, and this ball of light was shrinking regularly.

After a few minutes, the dark yellow light suddenly condensed and quickly stabilized, looking like a ball of jelly the size of a fist.

Don't underestimate it. If you sell this ball of energy to a recycling merchant in the low-dimensional world, you can get at least 10 magic gold coins. If you can bring it back to the real world, the price can be directly increased tenfold to 100 magic gold coins.

Of course, except for some special treasures in the low-dimensional world, other things are difficult to bring back to the real world. Even special energy such as Dusk Embers is no exception. If you want to take it out, it must undergo special processing. Team Yu Mu obviously does not have this ability.

Even so, each member of their team can harvest at least twenty clusters of Dusk Embers every day, which adds up to one hundred clusters. Just by selling these to recycling merchants, they can get a total net profit of 1000 magic gold coins.

That’s 30000 magic gold coins in a month, not counting other possible gains. Even for a legendary team, this is a very generous gain.

Melen took the dusk embers in his hands and played with them for a while, feeling a special energy in them. That was... time?

Then, without giving it much thought, Melen handed the Dusk Embers to Youmu. After a slight hesitation, Youmu took it and said, "Then I'll keep it for now. This portion of the Dusk Embers' harvest will be divided equally among the entire team."

Mellen smiled slightly and didn't respond.

He looked at the thick clouds in the sky and suddenly asked, "Captain Youmu, do you know what it is like above these clouds?"

Yumu glanced at the sky and said hesitantly, "When I was gathering intelligence on the Twilight Realm, I did hear some rumors, which I'm not sure if true or not. Some say the Twilight Realm is two sides of the same coin, and that we're only in one half now, with the other half high above the clouds. Others say that behind the clouds lies a massive energy source, and that the energy emitted by this source is diluted by the clouds, becoming the 'twilight' we see."

Mellen nodded slightly and said thoughtfully, "Then what do you think the core of the low-dimensional world of the Twilight Realm is like?"

Yumu shrugged and said, "Who knows? Perhaps the key clue lies behind this cloud. However, the clouds are filled with monsters unique to the Dusk Realm, and the Dusk energy within them is even more intense. It is said that a saint once went deep into them, but was unable to explore to the end and finally escaped in disgrace."

Melen asked, "What about demigods? Didn't they say that the Twilight Realm can affect demigods? Doesn't that mean a demigod must have been here?"

Youmu blinked and laughed, "What are you thinking! The so-called ability to influence demigods is probably just a rumor. What kind of existence is a demigod? Why would they deliberately come to a small low-dimensional world to take risks?!"

Mellen nodded and said to himself, "That's true."

You Mu smiled and said, "Let's go. Don't dwell on these trivial things. For us, we should explore as many areas as possible so that we can redeem more points after returning to reality."

Melen followed behind Youmu, with regular lights intertwined in his eyes from time to time.

In the following days, they did not leave the Gobi area. Apart from the daily dusk embers, they also dug up a lot of crystals, but did not find any precious resources or treasures. This is also the norm for adventures in the low-dimensional world.

During this period, they also encountered an attack by monsters from the Dusk Realm. They were a kind of floating slime-like creatures, very fast, and had no obvious weaknesses. Attacks that were not strong enough would be directly absorbed by them, and only attacks that exceeded their absorption range could cause harm to them.

The one that Melen and his team encountered took the combined strength of their entire team and took a lot of time to kill.

Of course, this is under the premise that Mellen does not take action.

After gathering again and verifying the intelligence, the team was about to separate when Mellen suddenly said, "Wait a moment."

Seeing everyone looking at him, Mellen continued, "It is indeed reassuring to team up with you, but all good things must come to an end. It is time for us to say goodbye."

The four of them were a little surprised by Mellen's sudden decision to leave the team. Yu Mu asked doubtfully, "Did I do something wrong? Or do you have any objections to our team's allocation plan?"

Mellen shook his head and said, "No, sorry, I came to the low-dimensional world for my own purpose. Now I have basically figured out what I want, so..."

Manlio yelled, "How could you..."
