Miss Dictionary could see the things around her, so she asked her owner not to put her into the world full of stars (this was also the first time Chu Feiyue knew what was inside his ring). So Chu Feiyue could only hang her on his waist. She was very happy about this.
This also made Chu Feiyue wonder, "What's the deal with this ring?" However, his [True Fantasy] had not yet reached the level to see through the ring, so he would have to find a time to ask Eck for help to appraise it.
Then Chu Feiyue introduced his younger sister to Miss Dictionary, fortunately, Miss Dictionary could also see Qin Yue.
The rest of the time was purely theoretical. Miss Dictionary emphasized the importance of magic theory and listed several pages of "the simplest magic knowledge" that Chu Feiyue needed to learn. According to Miss Dictionary, a person who mastered magic theory was far more difficult to deal with than someone who mastered magic skills, because you couldn't find their weaknesses. Not everyone had the infinite magic power of an elemental spirit, so to make up for their own shortcomings, each race had developed its own set of methods.
Understanding these methods would allow one to use the not-so-obvious weaknesses to easily defeat the enemy in the future.
So the rest of the time, Chu Feiyue spent learning those tedious magic theories. Fortunately, these theories were as simple and clear as building blocks, and for Chu Feiyue, who had gone through nine years of compulsory education and three years of preparation for the college entrance examination, this level of knowledge was easy to understand.
On the way, Chu Feiyue purified two groups of mad wild horses. The ease with which he did it made Shamiji admire him even more and become even more respectful.
Chu Feiyue and the members of the horse hunting team parted ways at the checkpoint entering and exiting the grassland. Shamiji and his group had to travel at night to the Flower Court, while Chu Feiyue and his group had to find a place to rest nearby because they would return the next day. At the final farewell, Shamiji, with a red face, asked Chu Feiyue to tell Elsa that he liked her. Chu Feiyue agreed verbally but threw the words to the back of his mind.
Even though Elsa was a native grassland elf, leaving her, who was not a combatant, in the already mad grassland was still very unsafe. So Chu Feiyue first entrusted her to the home of the Pingma Village chief, whose waist was still not well. The enthusiastic chief's wife patted her chest and used her former 80-pound 8-year-old son to guarantee that Elsa would be well-fed and well-cared for.
After reiterating that he and his sister would come to pick her up the next day, they logged out of the game at the teleportation array.
The light column that descended from the sky when logging out was very similar to the one when the teleportation array was activated.
...
After logging out, Qin Yue went out to buy breakfast, and Chu Feiyue lay on the bed, recalling the events of the day in the game.
The talking Miss Dictionary and the delicate and lovable grassland elf, today's experience was truly rich.
But why did his heart feel so heavy when he saw Elsa cry? And when he saw Elsa for the first time, that sense of familiarity...
Could these emotions really be programmed into a game? He couldn't help but ask himself.
"Brother, come down for breakfast!" Qin Yue called from downstairs.
"Okay!" Chu Feiyue shook his head and instantly teleported to his seat at the table.
Who cares, a game that feels too real isn't bad. Since he was the royal family of the elemental spirits, caring for his kin was a given.
...
After breakfast, Qin Yue went into the room to work on the second part of her "Happiness" composition. Chu Feiyue went into his basement to study how to disassemble that damn black rabbit without Qin Yue noticing anything was wrong.
That damn broken toy seemed to have developed some strange new problems; it now really liked rolling yarn balls... You're not a cat, damn it!!!
Having a sister who knits means he could happily wear the sweaters she knitted with love, but it also means the house might be messed up by some mischievous creature or non-creature. Of course, it might also mess him up.
For example, a black rabbit that got tangled up in yarn...
Chu Feiyue was very interested in the current state of the black rabbit's life; he felt its way of thinking had completely deviated from the program he set.
I really want to take it apart...
Receiving the waves of desire emanating from Chu Feiyue, the black rabbit, fixed on the mechanical platform, began to shiver uncontrollably.
Wanting to take apart the black rabbit was just a thought; Chu Feiyue's current research focus was still on non-fuel mechanical power. The fat boss of Jilong International, Qian Lai, had called him a few days ago to tell him that his "failed product" that converted light energy into kinetic energy was selling surprisingly well. Even with an 8% post-tax cut per unit, he could still make a lot of money.
Chu Feiyue was still very grateful to Qian Lai; if it weren't for him, he wouldn't have had the opportunity to showcase his talent, so he planned to speed up his progress and strive to achieve some real results.
Like a levitation device or something.
So, another day passed quietly.
At least in the home of the two siblings.
By evening, Chu Feiyue and Qin Yue logged into the game at seven o'clock.
Given the enthusiasm of the chief's wife the previous day, they didn't have dinner. This was a good decision because the chief's wife had prepared enough eggs and pies to stuff them to the brim. To reiterate, the chief's wife was a great cook.
After thanking the chief's wife on behalf of the three of them, Chu Feiyue crossed the checkpoint and headed northwest towards the Jima Grassland. According to Elsa, the source of the Jima River was at the foot of the Jima Mountains on the northwest edge of the Jima Grassland.
Since the place they entered the grassland was on the west side of the Jima Grassland, they soon saw their destination.
Then came the classic "the mountain is close but the road is long" scenario. The Jima Mountains, which seemed to be right in front of them, were always just out of reach... out of reach... out of reach...

When Chu Feiyue and Qin Yue logged into the game, the sun had not yet completely set. At the gate of Jinghu Garden, a graceful and elegant woman appeared, holding an umbrella and standing there, sighing softly as she looked inside.
The guard at the gate, with a sideways glance, secretly watched the woman and then quickly looked away, afraid that his colleague would notice his actions. However, when he caught the eye of his colleague, he found that the other guard was doing the same thing, and they couldn't help but smile at each other.
"Miss, is there anything I can help you with?" One of the guards jumped off his post, straightened his cap, and mustered the courage to approach and ask.
"No, I'm fine," the woman said, smoothing her hair with one hand and giving the guard a gentle smile.
A large part of Chinese men believe that the most charming moment for a woman is when she tilts her head and smooths her hair. A faint sense of electricity rose in the guard's heart.
"I just came to see how the environment is where my brother and sister live, that's all."
"May I ask, are you referring to the new brother and sister who moved in?" The guard rolled his eyes and asked casually.
The umbrella turned slightly, covering most of the woman's face, and only her chin moved slowly.
"This place is nice, I'm reassured."
With that, she turned and slowly left.
Watching her retreating figure, the guard scratched his head, suddenly feeling like he had forgotten something.
"Recruit, what are you doing there? It's not your shift yet!" his colleague shouted from behind.
Yes, what am I doing here? He was dazed for a moment and then returned to his post.
It was as if nothing had ever happened.
