Mischievous Lolita in the Doll

At this moment, the doll-like boy was lying on his bed in his dormitory in a unique posture—his upper body was lying down, his lower body was lying face down, and his waist had rotated 180 degrees.

Before the newly bought alarm clock could even ring, Mill threw it out the window to make it stop working prematurely.

Mir stretched and then calmly turned his waist back.

Today isn't the day to go to the ruins; tomorrow is. Mil doesn't usually need to get up early, but he still habitually set an alarm, not to cultivate a good habit, but because he felt it was a waste to skip breakfast.

So what should we eat this morning? Mil felt that going to a restaurant was a bit of a hassle, so this was a test of his practical skills.

Mil decided to cook for himself, something he rarely did, to prove that his cooking wasn't as bad as previously described.

Here comes Chef Mir's lesson: First, we prepare a bucket of cooking oil and add an appropriate amount to the pot. If you don't have cooking oil, you can use gasoline instead.

Then place the pot on the gas cylinder and light the gas cylinder, whatever method you use, just get it lit.

Then add a large amount of powdered core crystals (an alchemical material from another world).

Add the main ingredient—a live pufferfish. (Don't ask me where it came from.)

Then use magic to accelerate the flames. Those without magic can use the Force instead. This process allows us to ignore the gas cylinder that's acting strangely.

Finally, with a loud bang, our delicious meal was complete! So, did you all manage to make the food according to the tutorial? Did you learn this simple, quick chef's tutorial?

Ahem, let's get back to the main topic. Mil's loud noise woke up everyone in the entire dormitory building. Accompanied by meowing and barking, everyone except Xia Ye rushed to Mil's door and started banging on it frantically.

"Hey! What's going on? You're disturbing the peace so early in the morning!" Carlo pounded on Mil's door in annoyance.

"Has it been attacked?" Sack asked with some concern.

The other two remained silent; one was combing his hair, and the other was comforting his cat.

A moment later, Mil's door opened, and a plume of black smoke with a pungent odor poured out, choking the men who had come to question him, causing them to retreat back to the railing.

From behind the black smoke, a disheveled and ashen-faced Mil emerged and proudly addressed the crowd, saying, "Want to eat? It's on me."

At this moment, the others noticed that Mil was holding a plate with a pool of gray, unidentified liquid flowing in it, as if it were a living thing.

"What the hell is this noise from cooking!" Carlo covered his mouth and nose; the smoke was simply too pungent for someone with such a sensitive sense of smell.

"...Is this thing edible?" Sack asked, pointing at the unidentified object with a twitching smile.

"Yes, it's a masterpiece by Lord Mil!" Mil said, puffing out his chest. The contents inside almost spilled out because of his movement, which startled the others, though they didn't know why they felt this fear.

The cat in Ula's arms turned into a "fluid" with a look of terror, broke free from its owner's embrace, and ran away without looking back.

"You damn cat! Don't run!" Wu stretched out Er Kang's hand and chased after him.

"Have a bite, I've tried it, it's delicious," Mir continued, trying to persuade them.

Carlo produced two chopsticks from somewhere and inserted them into the container to test it. Before he could even stir, the chopsticks disappeared with a "whoosh" sound, and Carlo didn't even feel any resistance.

"Holy crap! How did you make something like this? Even I couldn't make it!" Carlo jumped back immediately; this thing was far too dangerous.

Mil glanced at Vilse and Sack and noticed that they, too, were keeping their distance from his plate of food.

Mil looked at his beautiful creation, which no one appreciated, with some disappointment. But how could such a wonderful dish be wasted on the mouth of a commoner like himself? So Mil walked to Carlo's door and slapped the plate of food against the door.

"Pfft—" The door, which even Mil couldn't break, was corroded in half.

"What have you done, you bastard?!" Carlo shouted in despair.

Then Mil turned to Carlo, who shuddered and dared not speak again. After all, Mil's "biological weapon" was too terrifying. What if he created another one?

Mir ignored Carlo and looked at Xia Ye's closed front door with a puzzled expression: "Where's Xia Ye? How can she sleep with all this noise?"

“I don’t know.” Vilse shook her head. “I remember the Dean came to see her alone last night, but you went to bed early so you don’t know.”

"Hmm..." Mil had a bad feeling. Why would Eileen be looking for Xia Ye for no reason?

He walked to Xia Ye's door and frantically rang the doorbell.

"Click—" The door opened.

"What?" Xia Ye looked at the guy who was disturbing the peace so early in the morning with an unfriendly expression.

"What did my mom want from you yesterday?" Mir sensed that Xia Ye wasn't in a good mood, but it probably wasn't because of him, right?

"It's nothing." After saying that, Xia Ye tried to close the door, but Mir stopped her with his hand.

"This reaction doesn't seem like nothing's wrong!"

Everyone else looked at him in astonishment. When did this guy's emotional intelligence become so high?

"It's really nothing." Xia Ye clearly didn't want to talk about this topic.

“Then I’ll just go ask that BBA directly.” Mill seemed determined to keep pressing the matter.

Xia Ye hesitated for a moment, then said, "Last night the dean said I couldn't participate in the exploration of the ruins..."

Xia Ye felt very sad when she said those words. She felt isolated. Why could everyone else go but she couldn't?

She wasn't really keen on exploring the ruins, given how dangerous it was, but Eileen's notification felt like a negation of her efforts, as if... her entire competition had been a lie...

Xia Ye felt a surge of grievance and wanted to cry, but having gone through some things, she was no longer so fragile, especially since she was in front of several people.

The four people reacted differently to these words, but they were all indignant about the unfair treatment Xia Ye had received.

“What she said doesn’t count.” For the first time, Mill’s expression truly turned blank. “I’ve never listened to her. I’ll take you there tomorrow.”

Xia Ye didn't speak. She didn't take Mir's words to heart. She wasn't sad because she couldn't go to the ruins.

“Let’s pack up,” Mill said. “We’ll go together tomorrow.”

“…Hmm.” Xia Ye, who usually disliked causing trouble, actually wanted to believe Mir for once.

Chapter 186 The Ruins Open

The next day, Mil checked the things he had packed the night before. Although he was a little afraid of trouble, and this exploration of the ruins was indeed quite troublesome, he also found it quite fun.

It's important to know that entertainment in another world isn't as advanced as in the real world. Although it has many features that don't exist in the real world, the internet in the real world is obviously more attractive, and once you touch it, you can't help but get hooked.

So, since it's such a rare opportunity to have fun, Mil certainly wouldn't just stay home and sleep.

Mir didn't bring his trusty holy sword this time, because it had been lost at the hotel when Mir was kidnapped, and Carlo and the others didn't bring it back for him.

Oh well, it's nothing important anyway, just a cheap item I bought for a few dozen mira.

Mir didn't really have anything he wanted to bring back from the ruins this time. They'd been to ruins before, the longest they'd ever stayed inside was over a month, so having enough food was very important in this situation. Hmm... very important for Mir.

So almost 90% of the space inside his spatial bracelet was filled with all sorts of snacks and the like.

He brought out some trivial things, such as the book that he had snatched from the priest that Mil couldn't understand.

Mir casually tossed it onto the table and left with only a bracelet.

“Let’s go,” Mir said to Xia Ye, who had been waiting at the door with a backpack on her back for a while.

"Mm." Xia Ye nodded and obediently followed behind Mir.

--------

The ruins are located on the outskirts of Ur. Although the ruins appeared in Ur, they are actually quite close to Ur.

The area around Ur is quite unique, as half of it is surrounded by magnificent forests, making Ur's borders the most heavily guarded in the Rainbowwing Kingdom.

The ruins happened to appear in the forest without any warning. A month ago, a door suddenly appeared with half of its head showing in the forest, which was initially judged to be related to that strange wind.

Initial investigations by the first team led by the leader revealed that the ruins existed no later than the "Chaotic Century".

This has left people very puzzled. The people of Ur City have been exploring this forest for countless years, but apart from knowing that the monsters inside are dangerous, they have never discovered in any way that there is a ruin underground.

People from numerous organizations led their teams to this place. Although they were still quite wary of this country, this was a relic that existed before the "Chaotic Century"! Who knows if there might be treasures passed down from some era inside? Wouldn't it be incredibly wealthy if they secretly took them away?

After a brief probing, they discovered that the higher-ups of the Rainbow Wing Kingdom seemed to tacitly approve of their arrival, which emboldened them somewhat. However, since Eileen had personally told them to wait here for a few days, no one dared to make any rash moves and go in first, not even teleporting.

As a result, the entrance to the ruins was surrounded by tens of thousands of people from various factions.

Several daring individuals who tried to sneak in were killed on the spot by a mysterious ability user who never even showed his face.

At this moment, Eileen and the other big shots were organizing a group of students not far from the entrance of the ruins, which attracted the disdainful onlookers of the other countries.

You have to understand that they all sent their own elites here to explore... well, they could be considered elites, since they didn't dare to lose too many people. But Eileen and her group actually treated this as a practical training exercise and brought their own group of hothouse flowers here. Could they be any more frivolous?

However, they dared not make any rash moves to approach the entrance of the ruins before Eileen and the others spoke.

Eileen and the others ignored the group of outsiders and continued to count the number of people.

The reason the team was assembled not far from the ruins was to give the students a choice. Not everyone wants to come to the ruins to explore; many people value their lives.

This exploration of the ruins is not required for everyone to participate; it is simply an opportunity.

However, the result was still quite good. Most people came, and no more than five chose to leave. After all, most people participated in the competition specifically for the ruins, and they felt more at ease with the protection of the big shots.

After counting the number of people, Eileen realized that her child hadn't come, which made her feel a little relieved. She didn't think that Mill was too scared to come; he probably just overslept.

However, this way I won't be distracted by him. On one hand, I'm worried about his safety, and on the other hand, I'm afraid that he might make this exploration of the ruins strange on his own.

Just as Eileen breathed a sigh of relief, she noticed that Mil was walking over with an arrogant gait, and he even brazenly stole a bottle of drink from one of the people from the Chaotic Kingdom.

That's not the point. The point is that Xia Ye was following behind him.

"Why is this little girl here? Didn't you tell her not to come?" Luo Fu frowned and looked in Xia Ye's direction. Hearing his words, the other big shots all looked at Xia Ye.

Being watched by so many people at once made Xia Ye feel very uncomfortable, and she felt that every move she made might be wrong.

With dead fish eyes, Mir blocked Xia Ye behind him, giving the group a provocative look that made the students' hearts pound. They thought to themselves, "Is this champion really that arrogant? He's provoking so many big shots at once? If it were them, they would have been too scared to speak."

Eileen frowned. Of course, she didn't think the little girl wanted to come on her own. It was definitely Mil who brought her. But she couldn't let her go back now, could she?

Eileen already felt guilty when she told Xia Ye not to come here, since it was tantamount to completely denying the child's first proof of his ability after becoming an ability user. However, she couldn't reveal the truth, as that would be tantamount to saying that Xia Ye cheated.

When Eileen went to find Xia Ye before, she asked her if she had come into contact with anything strange, but what strange things could she have come into contact with after only a month in this world? So Eileen could only return empty-handed.

"Never mind," Eileen stopped the blue-haired youth who was about to speak. "Exploring the ruins is the priority. Having more people won't hurt. I'll keep a close eye on her."

The blue-haired youth's face was extremely gloomy: "Who will take responsibility if something happens? You?"

Eileen glared at him, but she knew that arguing wouldn't do any good.

She walked silently toward Mil and the others. Xia Ye was a little nervous when she saw Eileen coming over, but Eileen did not send her back.

"The ruins are about to open. I'm going to place a spatial mark on you. If you encounter danger, it will protect you once and automatically send us a distress signal. Once I receive the signal, I will appear next to you in an instant."

After saying that, Eileen patted Xia Ye on the shoulder, and a diamond-shaped white symbol appeared on Xia Ye's smooth neck.

While setting the mark for Xia Ye, Eileen secretly sensed Xia Ye's luggage. She didn't sense any specific items, but rather whether there were any traces of magic. Naturally, she was disappointed.
