Chapter 117 Let's Talk About It
Soon, Meng Yanqing led her four-person vanguard team and set off with high spirits.
The birthplace of Lanzhiyuan suddenly became deserted, with only Xue Youyou, a "lonely old woman," remaining in the same place.
Her only companions were the crystal minerals that radiated an earthy yellow light all over the place.
Feeling a bit bored, Xue Youyou looked around and finally chose a protruding crystal pillar that looked more pleasing to the eye and sat on it.
Then, she lowered her gaze, staring blankly at her legs wrapped in white stockings.
After transmigrating to this world, she devoted almost all her time to leveling up. This was the first time she had ever stopped to seriously examine her own legs.
It's exactly the same as the model she created back then.
Length, thickness, feel of the skin... all of these are exactly the same.
That's amazing.
She couldn't resist reaching out and pinching the softest part of her thigh hard.
"hiss--"
The pain was clearly felt, and the intense, sharp pain made her gasp.
Even the pain felt exactly like the real thing.
What Xue Youyou didn't know was that at this moment, although Meng Yanqing and the other three had already set off as the vanguard, the director still kindly gave her a close-up shot of her alone.
In other words, there are currently billions of viewers watching her bewildering behavior that is completely incomprehensible to others.
The chat room was already overflowing with comments.
My heart aches for Lady Yukihime's legs!
[Isn't it because you feel sorry for the white stockings?]
[Sizzle sizzle—]
What is she doing, hahaha?
Is this thigh even fit for my eyes?
[Wife, stop pinching me, pinch me instead]
【…】
Of course, Xue Youyou's seemingly neurotic behavior was not without reason.
She wasn't simply having a fit of madness.
Recently, when she was alone, she discovered something very strange.
The original owner of this body had no memories before the age of sixteen.
More accurately, it's the memory of not having enrolled in school. Where I came from, who my relatives are, what I experienced in the past—all of these are blanks.
She had previously thought that the so-called "memory fusion" was nothing more than the fusion of fragments of common sense about life in this world. Those things were cold and scattered, more like lines of emotionless data being poured into her brain than warm memories.
What made her even more uneasy was that as she spent more and more time in this world, her memories of her life outside of the "Contract of Ten Thousand Beasts" in her previous life began to gradually become blurred.
Sometimes she tries hard to recall some of her past daily life, but the images that appear in her mind are like those seen through a thick fog, much like a dream that will dissipate upon waking.
This might be explained by "bad memory" if it happened to someone else, but for someone with a photographic memory, it is simply unbelievable.
It was this strange change that made her, who was usually very strong-willed, feel uneasy, even though she didn't really want to admit it.
Unconsciously, she went from having the mindset of a tourist when she first transmigrated to the other world to becoming more cautious and vigilant.
She was a little confused about which side was the truth.
Is it a parallel world to this similar game, or a past life that is gradually starting to feel like a dream?
After hesitating for a moment, Xue Youyou summoned snowflakes.
A hexagonal life form emitting an icy blue glow emerged from the pet space. A palm-sized snowflake drifted down and landed steadily on her palm.
The snowflake, being in its initial stage, cannot benefit from the subsequent enhancements of the ultimate skill. At this time, its size remains exactly the same as when it was first summoned by her.
Actually, Xue Youyou had always had a question she wanted to ask Xuehua.
The question was too pointed, and she was afraid to think about the consequences of breaking through that barrier. But if she didn't ask, she felt anxious and uneasy.
It's a dilemma—to ask or not to ask.
However, she had to ask the question today.
"I have a question for you, and you must answer it honestly."
Xue Youyou gently flicked the snowflakes from her palm. As her fingertips touched the snowflakes, many tiny, icy-blue light particles burst out and slowly drifted away.
"chatter?!"
The snowflakes made a slightly disgruntled protesting sound and trembled slightly.
Xue Youyou's expression turned serious as she looked at her and slowly said, "When you evolved into the Divine Snow Woman, I shared all my memories with you without reservation."
She paused, as if trying to confirm something, before slowly uttering the words that had been buried deep in her heart—
"You should know... I am not the flying master you used to be."
These words remained buried deep within Xue Youyou's heart.
Companion beasts and beast tamers can communicate telepathically. Logically speaking, Snowflake should be able to sense that "she" is no longer the original Snowy Youyou.
But she never said anything, and Xuehua never mentioned it either. The two of them have been together in such a tacit way until now.
But this is still a thorn in my heart, a lump in my throat, something I have to get out.
Furthermore, at present, perhaps only Xuehua's answer can explain the growing doubts in her heart.
So today, she has to have a heart-to-heart talk with it.
However, Xuehua's answer almost caused Xueyouyou's brain to crash on the spot.
"Lulu~"
"Youyou is still Youyou, it's always been you!"
Xue Youyou froze for a full second before snapping back to reality and denying it without hesitation: "Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
Are you kidding me? How could a dignified, top-tier beast tamer possibly produce such a thing?
"How could I possibly have a 999-game losing streak?!"
This is slander! This is mudslinging!
Seeing that Xue Youyou denied it on the spot, Xuehua became anxious and started jumping around in her palm: "Lulu! Youyou, it was you who hit me!"
Since sharing Xue Youyou's memories, it has learned a lot and now deeply understands a principle—there are no flying pets, only flying beast tamers.
Looking back now, it doesn't feel that the 999-game losing streak had anything to do with it; it was just that Xue Youyou was bad at the game.
And it—the snowflake, the snow woman, the goddess Yuki-onna of the divine era—is flawless!
Although it didn't know why Xue Youyou suddenly became stronger after taking a nap in class and having a dream, the sweet scent emanating from her soul was indeed exactly the same.
"ha?!"
Just as Xue Youyou was about to exhale, she suddenly felt a slight chill under her bottom.
Although the feeling was very slight, Xue Youyou still noticed it keenly.
She looked down and realized that the light emanating from the crystal pillar she was sitting on had dimmed a little.
She reached out and touched it. Upon closer inspection, she could clearly sense that the energy contained within the crystal pillar was being forcibly drawn away by some external force, slowly and continuously flowing through the earth's veins towards an unknown direction.
What's going on?
Xue Youyou raised her head with a somewhat blank look in her eyes, glanced around, and her expression finally changed slightly.
As far as the eye could see, the surrounding crystals were gradually becoming dimmer.
Although the darkening process is slow, the fact that such a large area and such a massive amount of crystal ore are being drained of energy at the same time is hardly a good sign.
If we think about it further, if all the crystal mines in this crystal forest with a diameter of over thirty kilometers were like this, then all this rock energy being continuously extracted and flowing along the earth's veins would eventually reach...
A thought suddenly struck her, and Xue Youyou almost exclaimed in surprise.
She suddenly remembered an extremely rare legendary technique—a legendary technique called "Gaia's Power," which only a few Rock-type pets have the opportunity to comprehend and learn.
After learning this profound principle, one can temporarily convert the energy from the meridians within a certain range into one's own.
The difference between the upper and lower limits of this profound principle is extremely large.
If the battlefield is on barren land, it's basically better than nothing and won't be of much use. But once you encounter a treasure land like a large crystal mine or a dragon vein, it's practically an instant takeoff, making you invincible.
Clearly, the map in front of us, known as the Heavenly Meteorite Crystal Crater, is indeed such a treasure trove.
If the entire thirty-kilometer-long crystal forest were completely absorbed, Xue Youyou estimated that the opponent's physical attributes would likely be temporarily boosted to a level surpassing the ultimate level.
While it's impossible for a fully evolved pet to absorb all of the energy in one go, even absorbing just one percent is enough to reach the threshold of the ultimate form.
The reality facing her now is that if she simply stands by and lets things develop, Meng Yanqing and the other three will likely suffer greatly.
Xue Youyou blinked, recalling the four people's energetic expressions before they set off, and finally decided to respect their own chosen destiny.
"Well, since they dared to take the initiative to challenge us, they must have been prepared to lose."
