It's time to improve the strength of the infinite world

Chapter 99: Spring Breeze and I Are Just Passers-by

Fantasy tree.

As the key point of the Lostbelt, it forms the key stone for filtering out strange historical phenomena.

It takes ninety days for it to germinate, and its subsequent growth depends entirely on one's own ability... However, it is generally believed that the depth of the anomaly is related to the growth condition of the fantasy tree. The higher the degree of development and the deeper the roots, the greater the depth of the anomaly.

Naturally, the importance of the growth cycle of the fantasy tree is self-evident.

According to the information on the Lostbelts that Xia Zhi obtained from Vivian, leaving aside the special example of the Chinese Lostbelt, in most cases, the growth status of the Fantasy Tree and the depth of the Lostbelt are directly proportional to their growth time.

Although twelve hundred years is nothing, it is not that long compared to the historical span of some Lostbelts - for example, the Greek Lostbelt where the Illusionary Tree fully developed is said to have begun to form as early as 12,000 BC.

Comparing the two, the growth time is obviously more than ten times different.

However, special circumstances require special treatment.

In this world, the Fantasy Tree is the only one that exists. It does not need to compete with other competitors for the magic power in the earth veins. It can enjoy the resources exclusively within its growth cycle.

Given ample time, as long as 1,200 years, this fantasy tree should have a good chance of reaching full maturity.

Even if we take a step back and say that it fails to mature, the benefits brought by this length of time are obviously far greater than a gestation period of only three years.

No matter how you weigh it, this is an opportunity worth giving it a try.

………………

………………

Miss Shihua is also a decisive girl. After dinner, she immediately began to prepare for the upcoming journey.

While thinking about the visa issues for myself and my sister, I also started to consider what to pack, and at the same time I was thinking about how to apply for leave from the restaurant.

As the head chef of a restaurant, it is obviously not realistic to suddenly take a week-long vacation or even longer without any warning.

But if he resigned directly, it would seem too deliberate. Giving up a well-paid job just for an unexpected travel opportunity would be unreasonable from any perspective.

Miss Shihua was worried that such an action would inevitably arouse suspicion from others.

only……

She still underestimated her current "good luck".

Before she could figure out how to start the conversation, the restaurant owner called and told her the news.

On the phone, the other party explained the problem to Miss Shihua in a joyful and apologetic tone, saying that she had just ended her long-term relationship with her boyfriend today, and the two were preparing to get married. Next, she would follow the man to go abroad...

Because there is a high probability that I will never return to Japan.

So now this restaurant is also preparing to close.

The purpose of this call was to inform all employees of this change and to promise that everyone would be properly compensated, while also actively recommending new job opportunities.

——That’s basically it.

Miss Shihua's expression remained in an indescribable subtle state from beginning to end until the phone call ended. She gently put the phone down, rubbed her temple unconsciously, and then raised her deep red eyes:

"This... can also be considered a manifestation of good luck, right?"

"Of course it counts. Why not? It's like having a pillow whenever you feel sleepy. Isn't that great?"

Xia Zhi responded casually, the TV remote in his hand quickly switching channels as he kept up with current news and paid close attention to certain key information released by the authorities.

Touka Kotori nodded slightly, and after thinking it over, she felt that this was indeed the case. And it wasn't too surprising. If you think about it carefully, there were clues in advance, just like the travel award she won was also a lottery she had participated in before.

As for what is happening in the restaurant now, although it seems to be sudden, some signals were already detected when the restaurant was given an early holiday today... Perhaps at that time, the boss had already been proposed to by her boyfriend, so she was so happy to make the temporary decision to give everyone a holiday.

But this is not important anymore -

The important thing is that now I don't have to think about the reasons...

She could have said that she had not originally planned to travel because she could not leave due to work. But the restaurant suddenly closed down and she unexpectedly received a generous bonus, so she decided to take this opportunity to take a vacation and relax.

From this perspective, the whole process and results seem to be naturally connected and appear reasonable.

With this thought in mind, Miss Shihua silently put down her phone.

The most difficult problem at present has been solved. All that is left is to make sufficient preparations for the trip. Although this is only a superficial disguise, after all, the real destination is not Hawaii, but adequate cover-up measures are still necessary.

She also hopes to be more cautious and avoid trouble as much as possible.

At this moment—the door of the bathroom not far away clicked and opened from the inside.

After taking a bath, Rikka walked out of the bathroom wearing slightly loose home clothes. Before she could tidy up her clothes, she was eager to put on the blindfold again and wrap the bandages around her arms.

After all, character setting is crucial to the Evil King's True Eye User.

It is essential to maintain the rigor of one's own role image at all times.

"..."

"..."

"I plan to take Rika to buy some new clothes in the next two days. Do you want to buy some too?" Miss Touka withdrew her gaze indifferently, and as if she remembered something, she looked Xiazhi up and down and asked this question.

seemingly……

It seemed as if this person had always been wearing this piece of clothing and had never changed it.

Although the clothes always remain clean, as if they have some kind of magical "self-cleaning" ability, Miss Touka, who is keenly aware of this, is quite envious.

Subconsciously, she touched the amulet pendant hanging around her neck. She felt that she had to show some appreciation for the care the other party showed her. However, as an ordinary person, she could not do anything else.

I guess all we have to do is pay as much attention as possible to the daily necessities of life.

"Forget it... If everything goes well, I expect to leave here soon and won't stay for long, so I don't have any demand in this regard." Xia Zhi held his chin with one hand and continued to casually switch TV program channels with the other hand, his words revealing a casual tone.

"..."

"..."

Will you be leaving soon?
Miss Shihua fell into silence and did not respond.

At this moment, Rika, who had just walked out of the bathroom, stiffened noticeably and the expression on her face instantly turned solemn.

At this moment, Rikka suddenly realized that although she was immersed in indescribable happiness these days, because of the arrival of someone and early spring, she seemed to be in a fairy-tale fantasy dream——

However, spring will always pass, and the dream will eventually end.

People cannot stay forever and will eventually embark on a journey of separation.

In fact, she should have realized this truth long ago, because Xia Zhi had already explained that the reason he was summoned here was because the world had undergone drastic changes, and as a guardian, he had the important mission of correcting the "mistakes".

Therefore, once the critical divergence point was located and the "error" was corrected, his departure was a natural consequence.

However, the young and ignorant Rikka, caught up in the shock and joy brought about by the interweaving of fantasy and reality, unconsciously ignored this point, and only woke up at this moment.

Her eyes moved between the young man in the living room and the Saint Counselor sitting opposite her, and then she bit her lower lip lightly.

any idea……

Can we retain this everyday scene?

----

----

Time unknowingly came to late at night.

The two sisters of the Kotori family have fallen asleep.

Xia Zhi also ended his further exploration and research on the holy sword in the living room.

As his research deepened, his understanding of the holy sword became more profound and subtle. At the same time, he was also revising his plan of "opening up the pulse" step by step.

Although in order to save magic power, there is no luxury to activate the fantasy tree immediately after every modification of the details, and use its simulation function to perform calculations and deductions.

But every time he completes a major version update, he will still check it carefully to make sure there are no errors in the general direction.

The effect is indeed significant. Compared with the previous circuit that would burn out, the current solution can successfully transform a meridian and make it run stably...

The current problem is how to allow multiple conversion circuits to coexist stably in the body.

After all, his ideal goal is to have at least twenty holy sword-level circuits...

Judging from the output power, it should be at least enough for him to fight against twenty white giants at the same time and win.
