Why can't humans do it too?

"Including these materials?" he asked rhetorically, tapping the television set on the TV cabinet and tugging hard at the curtains by the wall—without exception, the feel and texture of these materials matched his memory perfectly.

So all these things in the room were made by the combined efforts of Xin Ke and Jibril?

Suer suddenly felt immense respect for what he held in his hands.

Chapter 156 Time Flies

The item, created by the combined efforts of the Skywing race, the Forest Elf race, and humans, is probably as valuable as Athena's Exclamation, which requires three Gold Saints to unleash, or perhaps even more.

"Pretty much. I'll weave the spell, and then the Skywing species will infuse it into the spirit. This way, we can even change the properties of matter," Xin Ke nodded and replied. "I must say, Miss Monster is quite convenient to use as an energy source. Please keep up the good work!"

"Ah~, after all, this is all the weeds can do to comfort themselves. If you're willing to hand over your memories, you can go and stay in the soil over there now, okay? I'll take care of the rest~"

I'm deaf, I can't hear anything.

Silently repeating this sentence to herself, ignoring what seemed to be their usual bickering, Su Er pressed the power button on the TV—as expected, there was no response.

Thinking about it carefully, it's not surprising. Although it's unclear what the semi-transparent refrigerator outside the door relies on to operate, it's obviously not electricity. And naturally, there wouldn't be any TV stations producing TV programs here. Xin Ke and Jibril's craftsmanship is outrageous; they even managed to reproduce the LCD screen quite realistically.

It looked exactly like his old home, but the urge to explore, knowing that the things in the house were made of things he didn't know or even couldn't understand, was so irresistible to Su Er. To be honest, if the glass on the coffee table suddenly grew legs and ran away, he wouldn't be surprised at all... probably not.

Then he walked to the edge of the window. Just like the environment that Okan had created in that small world, Sue could see the towering buildings outside through the window, as well as the sun sandwiched between the buildings. The sunlight refracted on the countless pieces of glass, and the light was all reasonable, without the slightest error.

The sounds of car horns and noise from downstairs filled the air with the atmosphere of modern city life—but Su Er knew it was all an illusion.

You can see the real world simply by opening the window. There is no reinforced concrete outside the window, only a wide lake and the aroma of herbs lingering in the air.

Then Suer opened the window.

Half of the glass still shows that familiar world, while the other side shows the view outside. Beautiful flowers bloom and wither in the lake, and shimmering light keeps drifting out. Thin white mist gathers above the lake.

"...Mr. Monkey?"

Suer heard Xinke calling him.

"In short, you'll need to provide detailed descriptions of many things going forward; it's expected to be a huge undertaking!"

"Ah, I will try my best, please don't worry."

After taking one last look out the window, Suer calmly replied, "Was it just my imagination?"

Just now, I think there was a bright green flash across the highest dome?

Upon closer inspection, however, nothing was found.

Shaking his head to stop overthinking, Suer pulled the window back shut. Although the work ahead sounded like it would be very demanding, he decided to start with the basics for now.

— Put on your clothes.

--------------

Suer wanted to use the phrase "time flies" to describe his life during this period. At first, he remembered to carve a mark on a stone slab every day, but as time went by, he unconsciously forgot about it and only symbolically carved a few marks on the stone slab when he occasionally remembered it.

He was so happy, wonderful, and joyful that he almost forgot about time. If he used to count the days every day to record his existence during difficult times, with each entry signifying that he had survived another day, then this perfect life had made Su Er too lazy to do those things.

But even with such sporadic records, when Su Er suddenly became interested in counting them one day, he was surprised to find that there were already more than 300 marks on them. If you include the ones he was too lazy to carve, and roughly estimate, it has been almost two years.

Upon discovering this shocking fact, Suer was slightly surprised, but upon closer reflection, it didn't seem so surprising after all.

These past two years have been the most wonderful days he has experienced since he transmigrated to this world. He has no shortage of food, and the food he eats can even be described as quite exquisite; he has no need to worry about the danger to his life, and he can sleep peacefully in the deepest part of the cave; he also does not have to endure the gloomy and damp emptiness of the dark cave, as the warm sunlight can shine on his body whenever he wants.

Even the 'work' that kept him so busy that he forgot to eat made him happy. When he saw the complete restoration of his past creations, Suer felt extremely satisfied, not only because they were things he had created with Shinco and Jibril, but also because of a sense of identity.

The agreement made with Xinke during the crisis was also well carried out. According to what Xinke told Suer, she sent the forest elves to put a lot of food and warm supplies into a destroyed forest elf ruin. Then she secretly guided the humans who went on expeditions to find the supplies. This way, the humans would only think that they were lucky and would not think that they had been discovered by other races.

Anyway, there were many such relics during the war, so it didn't seem out of place. Sull thought that Riku probably wouldn't leave those supplies behind out of caution—and this proved to be true.

Without having to worry about food for the ever-growing population in the settlement, Riku and Cole must be much more relaxed now, right?

Thinking of this, Suer couldn't help but smile.

Oh, right, speaking of which, I have to mention the Forest Elves.

After Xinke broke free from the elven lock, she easily restored her connection with the forest elf city—or perhaps that's not quite accurate, as this pale golden-haired forest elf had disappeared for a long time, only to suddenly reappear one morning at the cabin door after Suer accepted that she probably wouldn't return to the abandoned city.

At that time, Suer had just finished breakfast and was about to go to the door to take a bath.

To Suer's astonishment, the forest elf took his various research equipment into the room and has remained secluded in the cabin ever since, until today.

【Playing Hua Guanqing is such a waste of time and so boring, so I'll just pretend to be dead~】

This was the sentence that left the deepest impression on Suer at the time.

Chapter 157 Shattered Image

This woman completely disregarded everything about the forest elves, firing her boss, the forest god Kenus, without the slightest hesitation—wait, he wasn't just a boss! He was the creator of the forest elves!

However, this woman actually did it.

Respect and awe are nonexistent.

This woman even secretly undermined the Forest God Kenas, supporting her own agents. While using these agents to control the entire Forest Elf race's deployment and actions, she also secretly smuggled the Forest Elf race's resources into the city as materials for her future research.

Suer realized that this woman truly loved only magic and her own power. Following the goblin race's absurd use of inactive divine essence for research, Xin Ke was also developing power that could rival it.

By the way, the current progress is 0.

As expected, it would be an insult to the divine race to describe anything involving the divine race as difficult. More than two years have passed and not even a ripple has been made.

During what was a long two years for humans, it wasn't just Su's tense mind that relaxed, but also... his wariness and vigilance towards the forest elves.

Well, to be honest, this one disappeared the fastest.

There's no way around it; when Xin Ke starts destroying her image, it's like setting a fire on a pile of firewood doused in gasoline—it's utterly devastating.

How can someone be so lazy?!

The people of Suer were dumbfounded.

She hadn't showered for a full six months! To be honest, if Suer hadn't forcibly barged into Xinke's lab and dragged her to take a shower, he even suspected that this forest elf might never have showered in her entire life!

At first, he thought that the forest elf was taking a bath in his laboratory, which was why it wasn't coming out. However, this pathetic fantasy was shattered when he smelled that smell while delivering food to the forest elf one day... His brain was trembling!

"Hmm? Mr. Monkey's hand is unsteady? Did you think of something?"

"...No, it's nothing."

Calmly brushing off Xinke's question, Suer poured the water from the wooden basin over Xinke's head. The warm lake water washed away the foam that had formed on her pale golden hair, and the whitish foam flowed along the lake's current toward the outlet.

"Are you lying? Is there something wrong with the shampoo we just produced?"

Having directly exposed Suer's lie, Xin Ke reached out and lightly brushed her hair, then rubbed her fingers together and sniffed.

Nothing seemed amiss; it was the scent of her favorite flowers.

“So I already said there was no problem,” Su’er retorted irritably, her fingers running through Xinke’s hair.

Yes, that's how it's been since then. Every few days, Suer has to force Xinke to take a bath. The exact interval depends on how strong a woman's body odor is. If he forgets or doesn't remind her, Xinke will absolutely not take a bath on her own. Suer even has to do the washing process for her body—but he really doesn't want it to be like this!

It's definitely not a case of getting the benefits and then acting innocent, or being a hypocrite. To be honest, for some reason, Suer had no intention of having any relationship beyond friendship with this forest elf. Although he had indeed fantasized about some inappropriate things, he was very clear about reality.

The reason I'm forced to do this kind of work is simply because—Sul really can't stand it when you've just finished cooking and are about to eat, and suddenly someone who smells terrible rushes in and starts eating without even washing their hands! Just thinking about it makes me want to throw up!

You can't beat her!

Oh, right! That's not all!

After getting to know her better, Suer discovered that this forest elf really disliked wearing clothes! Every time Suer entered her lab, she would see her naked, even though Suer had specially hung her washed clothes on the door.

The worst part is that they never learn their lesson! They absolutely refuse to listen just because you tell them!!

They'd mumble "uh-huh" and "ah-ah" all the time, then laugh and giggle. What's especially outrageous is that they'd also argue their point with completely nonsensical arguments, for example, saying something like:

Clothes will get dirty, and then you have to run to change them—that's completely inefficient! And nothing in this world is beautiful if it's inefficient!

So, thinking about it this way, wouldn't it have been better if I had just not worn any clothes from the beginning?!

[This is genius-level—no, wait, since genius equals me, and I equal genius, so it must be my genius mind that discovered this secret that ordinary people would never discover!]

They are utterly shameless, spouting nothing but fallacies.

It's hard to imagine that Xin Ke said such a thing with such pride and smugness, and even wiggled her butt after she finished speaking.

From that moment on, Xin Ke's image as a handsome, murderous, and superior person disappeared from Su Er's mind. If he had to describe her again, all that would be left is the word "salted fish".

Where does this woman get the face to claim to be the embodiment of beauty, the standard of beauty?

Suer often fell into doubt about life, unable to find a solution.

Given this situation, how could he possibly be on guard?

There was no development that crossed the line, nor did he dare to develop anything that went too far. He suffered from this pain, and even before washing the dirt off Xin Ke's body, he had to secretly go to a distant part of the city and take a quick shot... I'm sorry, it's a little embarrassing to talk about this.

Although her personal hygiene habits were absolutely terrible, Xin Ke's figure was undoubtedly quite in line with Su Er's aesthetic standards. All I can say is... he really had a tough time.

sigh.

Xinke was indeed very intelligent, but Suer was absolutely certain that Kenas must have forgotten some steps when creating her. This forest elf only had eyes for the goal she cared about, and ignored everything else.

For example, right now, while Suer was still cleaning her hair, Xinke stared blankly up at the ceiling, muttering terms that Suer couldn't understand at all, once again immersed in her experiment.

Not only when taking a bath, but even when eating, Xin Ke would often freeze in place, forgetting to chew, wishing that Su Er would bathe and eat for her so that she could immerse herself completely in her research.

Doesn't it sound a bit like a cute and innocent girl?
