After hanging up the phone, Mu You opened the invisible card and hurried back home.
It wasn't until he returned to the pet shop that Mu You breathed a sigh of relief, opened the wine bottle, and let the little girl out.
The little girl climbed out of the bottle and quickly returned to normal size.
"I accepted your request. I will find a way to save your sister later, but not now." Mu You said, looking at the little girl who got under the table as soon as she came out, holding the legs of the table and carefully looking at the surrounding environment.
At the moment, everyone is busy grabbing the City in the Sky, and he is no exception. Moreover, the Cook Islands are also on the sea, and you need a boat to go there. You have to wait until you finish grabbing the City of Auroville at the earliest.
"oh……"
The little girl seemed to have expected Mu You to say this, and did not show too much excitement, but was slightly disappointed on her face.
As soon as she finished speaking, her stomach suddenly made a very loud protest sound: "Gu!"
The girl hurriedly held her stomach tightly, buried her head in her collar, and her face was as red as a tomato.
"I'll order takeout for you."
Mu You didn't laugh at her, so he took out his phone and opened the ordering app.
"You will live here for now. As long as you don't run around, you will be safe here..."
This girl also has a shady identity at present, and she cannot be shown in front of others for the time being.
When Mu You was thinking about where to place her, he suddenly felt his clothes being pulled.
Looking down, he saw the girl tugging at the hem of his clothes, looking at him expectantly, and cautiously asking, "Can I go see Maomao?"
"Go ahead."
Mu You didn't refuse and opened the zoo's backpack entrance for her.
"Wow!"
Looking at the animals in the garden, the little girl's eyes lit up and she couldn't wait to run into the garden.
There were too many people here yesterday, so she didn't dare to show her face. She secretly glanced at the kitten and left in a hurry. But now she was alone, and she could finally play with the animals to her heart's content.
The little girl looked here and there, her face full of novelty, and her eyes felt a little inadequate. Finally, she ran to the cathouse in the center and interacted with the two kittens.
"Goo!"
At this time, from the bird cage that Mu You placed on the table, a protest came from the evil bird.
"I know, I know, I'll take you to pick eggs now." Mu You lifted up the birdcage, opened the lock cylinder space and walked in.
Just now, the evil bird was doing its best to help him defeat the enemy. Of course, there were conditions. The condition was that when he came back, he had to choose three silver owl eggs and take them away.
Entering the space, the evil bird immediately left Mu You behind and flew to the glass incubator on the edge to pick eggs.
Mu You carried a bucket of canned vegetarian food and went to feed the unicorn.
After most of the animals were moved to the zoo, the unicorn had many fewer playmates, and he became much closer to Mu You. He would no longer hide from him when he saw him like before. Every time Mu You came to feed him, The unicorn will also excitedly circle around him wagging its pony tail and take the initiative to get close to him.
While watching the unicorn happily picking out fruit pulp from the can, Mu You was thinking about the newly obtained fragment.
As for the fragments of Lieyun City, he knew that Lion was collecting them and had already found a collaborator, showing the contents of the map.
Mu You had no preparations for this city, and besides, he was busy fighting for Dawn City, and he had no time to worry about fighting for other cities.
In this case, it is better to simply give this fragment to the lion and let him exchange it for a fragment from another city.
Of course the other fragments that Mu You needs most are those from the City of Dawn, but according to the current situation, the emperor, Jack, and himself, the fragments of the City of Dawn have been basically monopolized by the three of them, and they want to find the idle City of Dawn. Fragments, almost impossible.
Moreover, even if the lion is really lucky and finds the fragment, it will not be handed over to Mu You until next week, and by then the fight for Dawn City is probably over.
After excluding Dawn City, the most suitable one left is Eternal Night City.
Mu You now has a way to obtain a fragment of Eternal Night City, and it is also a valid fragment. If he successfully replaces the fragment in his hand with a fragment of Eternal Night City, he will be equivalent to holding two fragments of Eternal Night City, and he will naturally be eligible to participate. to the battle for Evernight City.
At the same time, Eternal Night City is the last city in the sky to be opened. After completing the battle for Dawn City, he still has enough time to prepare.
"Let's discuss it with the lion at the meeting tomorrow..." Mu You thought to himself.
As a result, while he was deep in thought, a voice suddenly came from beside him: "Wow, is this a unicorn?"
"Um?"
Mu You turned his head and looked at the little kimono lolita who suddenly appeared next to him in surprise.
"How...how did you get in?"
He just entered the lock cylinder backpack and closed the entrance. Normally, no one else could come in without his permission, but this little girl appeared here so suddenly...
"ah?"
The little girl tilted her head and looked at him with an innocent look on her face.
But this time Mu You wouldn't let her pass the test so easily, and started questioning the little girl in detail.
…
Half an hour later, the little girl sat at the dining table in the store, guarding the fried chicken bucket in front of her, grabbing a chicken drumstick in one hand, and devouring it. It looked like she had been hungry for a long time.
Mu You was thinking secretly on the side.
The tireless questioning just now made him finally vaguely understand this girl's abilities.
This girl's ability, in layman's terms, is that she can transfer between various backpack spaces!
Of course, it's not that simple in reality. According to her, this ability is not stable. If she wants to enter or leave a certain backpack space, she needs to be half asleep. At the same time, she cannot take it with her when she leaves the backpack space. Anything that doesn't belong to her.
"In the star spirit world, there is a type of people called 'Dream Travelers' who can do what she said..." Vivian suddenly sent him a message at this time.
"Dream Traveler?"
Mu You was stunned, he had seen this name before.
This name is mentioned in the current Elven Horn quest, the Forest Elf quest.
The name of that mission is "The Change in Utopia". The Utopia mentioned in it is a beautiful and pure dreamland. Only when you are in a dream can you have the opportunity to enter it. There is also a kind of dream traveler called "Dream Traveler". 'People, according to the mission description, under normal circumstances, dream travelers can enter the dream land and move freely at any time while sleeping.
"You mean, the world connected in each backpack space is the so-called 'Utopia'?" Mu You looked at Vivian and asked.
"Yes."
Vivian nodded, seeming quite familiar with this: "The guardians, or managers, of Utopia acquire resources by leasing the land in Utopia to living beings. These leased lands will be cut from Utopia like tofu. It is divided, transformed from a dreamland into a real space, and then made into various backpack-like props by living beings.”
"And this manager will also select some people from the living beings as its envoys. These people are called 'Dream Travelers'. These people will obtain part of the manager's abilities and can enter the ideal land at any time and be free in the ideal land. Walking. Some advanced dream travelers can also switch their state between dream and reality in the dream land, so that they can freely enter and leave the backpack spaces that have been rented out."
"I see……"
Mu You nodded. If the identity of the little girl was brought into the Dream Traveler, then all the abilities she showed could be explained.
No wonder she was able to travel all the way from the other side of the ocean to the Celestial Empire alone, and also evaded countless pursuits. What she called "jumping here" actually meant transferring again and again through other people's space backpacks.
But what makes Mu You strange is that this little girl is a native of Earth. She is not qualified to enter the game at such a young age. Judging from the feedback from the omniscient crystal, she is indeed not a player.
The question is, how could an ordinary child acquire such an ability unique to the star spirit world?
"What's your name?" Mu You looked at the girl and asked.
"Wo Jiaoye...my name is Ye Rumeng!" The little girl swallowed the food in her mouth before she spoke her name clearly.
"Ye Rumeng? Are you from China?"
"My father is from China... My nickname is Mengmeng, and my sister's name is Mianmian." After the girl ate, she seemed to relax a lot, and she gradually started talking more.
"When did you start to have this ability?" Mu You looked at the girl and asked.
"When?" The girl looked at Mu You strangely and said without thinking, "It's always been there..."
"Always have...you mean, you've had this ability since you were born?"
"Um!"
The questioning has come to an end here. Children tend to think outside the box, and she can't explain anything too profound if asked.
After she finished eating, Mu You led her upstairs.
"I'll prepare a place for you to stay. You can rest here tonight."
Mu You took her into his bedroom. Since the store did not prepare a special guest room, he could only let her deal with it here for one night.
"Thank you, uncle!" The little girl bowed to him in a clear voice.
"...My name is Mu You, you should just call me by my name from now on."
"oh……"
…
After settling the little girl, Mu You returned to the lock cylinder space, prepared some building materials next to the cabin at the entrance, arranged eight labor robots and an engineering robot obtained from the goblins, and built a room overnight. , used to house girls.
This girl can't be seen in front of people. It's okay at night, but she can only stay in the space during the day.
Several robots started working immediately, and the buzzing and rumbling sounds resounded throughout the space.
And Mu You didn't have time to rest, so he returned to the study and started making cards. Tomorrow was the day of this week's secret art meeting, and he had to work hard to make the two new magic cards into cards.
He kept making cards like this until five or six in the morning, when he finally converted the 'Arc Sword'.
The arc sword converted into black magic is also called arc sword. The effect is still the same as adding an arc blade to any weapon. However, the black magic version of the arc blade can be extended at will, up to forty meters away!
In short, you can turn an originally short and powerful weapon into a '40-meter-long machete' at any time. It is also the kind that can cut iron like mud. It is very useful for cutting some huge creatures or buildings. .
However, this secret technique also has a limitation, that is, the longer the arc is extended, the greater the resistance will be, and the slower the weapon will be swung.
Mu You then continued to make cards for a while, and after making the 'Hydralisk Guard' into a card, he also made several copies of each of this week's three new cards.
After finishing all this work, the time has come to seven o'clock in the morning.
"boss?"
"Strange, haven't you gotten up yet..."
…
Mu You heard movement outside and knew it was Xiaoya and Lin Xue coming.
He was just about to go out to take a look, but then he heard Xiaoya's scream.
"Ahh..."
"What's wrong?"
"Sorry, Sister Xue, the boss has turned into a little lolita!"
"What?!"
…
"Ahem, what nonsense are you talking about..."
Mu You walked out of the study speechlessly, and saw the two of them gathered in front of his bedroom door. They looked in in surprise, but they didn't dare to step in.
Hearing the sound, the two turned around and saw Mu You walking behind them.
"Boss? Then this is..."
Mu You walked past the two of them and walked to the door. He saw that the little girl had been frightened by Xiaoya's voice and was under the bed. When she saw Mu You appear, she hurriedly crawled out from under the bed and hurried to Mu You. She grabbed the corner of his clothes and hid behind him.
Both women looked at Mu You blankly, and then at the girl behind him.
"Boss... since when did you have a Japanese niece?" Xiaoya looked at Mu You strangely.
Lin Xue looked at the kimono the girl was wearing and quickly realized: "Is this the little girl you mentioned yesterday?"
"Yes." Mu You nodded.
"Ah? What little girl?" Xiaoya looked at the two of them blankly. What did I miss?
Mu You briefly explained what happened yesterday to the two of them.
"Anyway, this child will be living in the store soon. We need to help her keep her identity secret so that no outsiders can find her."
"It's so hard for these people to attack such a young child..." Xiaoya immediately felt sympathy after hearing this. Her mood was probably the same as when she met those abandoned stray kittens on the roadside.
"Is it okay to stay in the store?" Lin Xue looked at Mu You. The store is usually open and people are coming and going, so it seems more likely to be exposed.
"It doesn't matter. I have prepared a house for her in the space. From now on, I will let her stay in the lock cylinder space during the day. Just hold on for this period of time..."
Muyou opened the entrance to the lock cylinder space.
At this time, another wooden house has been erected next to the small wooden house at the entrance of the space.
Mu You went in and took a look. There were beds, tables, chairs, benches, and windows. Although the place was small, it was well-equipped with all the necessary facilities. It was no problem for people to live in it.
"good!"
Mu You was very satisfied with the efficiency of the robot and looked back at the three of them.
I wanted to ask for their opinions, but what I didn't expect was unanimous opposition.
"No, this..."
"Yes, boss, this is too crude..."
"The smell is too great..."
…
"Uh, can't you?" Mu You asked.
"It's too rough, there are too many wood thorns, and the smell of construction is very pungent." Lin Xue commented.
"Yes, boss, look at such a beautiful kimono. When you walk around in it, it's all stained. Are you willing to..."
"The space is too small and there is no privacy. She is a girl..."
"And there is no wardrobe, where should I put the changes of clothes..."
"Where do I go to the toilet..."
"The sound insulation is too poor. Are you sure the child dares to sleep here alone at night..."
"On rainy days, the wooden house will get damp..."
…
"Well……"
The two of them were talking to each other, and Mu Youyou was quickly confused.
He has become accustomed to a life where one person has enough to eat and the whole family is not hungry. This place is also based on his own standards. It must be enough for him to sleep, so he really didn't care about these details.
"Let us do it!"
After the two women discussed for a while, they unanimously came to the conclusion that Mu You was unreliable and wanted to take over the issue of arranging the little girl's accommodation.
"Leave it to you."
The two were willing to work hard, and Mu You was happy to be a hands-off shopkeeper. He decisively handed over the command of the robot to them, and proposed that all the expenses for her placement and shopping in the future would be reimbursed in the store.
…
At six o'clock in the afternoon, the pet shop closes.
After sending away the last batch of customers, Mu You turned around and heard that Xiaoya and Lin Xue were already discussing the little girl's height and how they were going to a certain mall after get off work to buy various clothes for the girl...
Mu You was ashamed but also a little lucky. Fortunately, there were two women at home. Otherwise, if he had to take care of the daily life of a half-grown girl, it would definitely give him a headache.
After watching the two motherly women leave in the car, Mu You returned to the store, took out his cell phone, and activated the Fool.
After the game was launched, his character was still roaming the streets in Phoenix City.
But he was lucky today. After a while, he finally found a semi-permanent job in Phoenix!
[You come to the south of Phoenix City and see the guard captain Eric pacing anxiously in front of the city gate. 】
[Eric spotted you and walked towards you quickly. 】
[Eric, who has been hiding from you for two days, probably understands that he cannot escape forever. He came to you specifically today and proposed to you, hoping to cancel the previous agreement to exchange ratmen for reputation. 】
[Of course as compensation, Eric will provide you with another job. 】
[Out-of-control Mana Floating Dragon: Sunlight Woodland is the birthplace of Mana Floating Dragon. Mana Floating Dragon is a companion species of the Sun Elves. It can be contracted as a pet by the Sun Elves and help them better release arcane magic. However, strictly speaking, the Mana Floating Dragon is not a real life, but an arcane creature formed by condensing pure arcane energy after receiving sufficient light. It usually only moves in the sunlight and relies on continuously absorbing energy from the earth or sunlight elves. Feeds on arcane energy.
However, a few mana dragons cannot control the energy in their bodies. After absorbing too much energy, they will fall into a state of control and will not disappear at night. They will devour other mana dragons through attacks and become more violent. If left alone, , they can cause serious damage to the ecology of sunlight woodlands. Therefore, these out-of-control mana dragons need to be removed regularly. 】
[The ranger who was originally guarding the Sunlight Woodland has temporarily left Phoenix City for some reason and needs your help to take his place for a while. Each time you kill an out-of-control mana dragon, you will gain 10 reputation points, with a daily limit of 100 points. The arcane crystal obtained after killing the mana dragon can be exchanged for one year of life in the secret store. 】
【Do you accept the task? 】
"accept!"
There was nothing to hesitate about. Finally, there was a reliable fixed task, Mu You decided decisively.
As for the tasks of the rat people... The rat people on the grassland have already been cleared up. If they continue to be cleared, the physical consumption and reputation will be out of proportion, so naturally they will be replaced with new tasks.
What Mu You didn't expect was that after completing the task, there was a text below.
[Eric breathed a sigh of relief when he saw you accepted the mission, and then told you a new piece of information. 】
[Mrs. Emma from Chengnan Knitting Shop just submitted a request to the guard team: her cat ran into the Sunlight Woodland in the afternoon and has not come back yet. It is probably lost in the forest. 】
[Eric hopes that after you enter Sunlight Grove, you can help Mrs. Emma find her cat. If you can find it, he will pay you 50 reputation points, and Mrs. Emma will also give you an additional reward. 】
