Is the person you sculpt as cute as me?

The Ice Prison Dragon was flying at full speed, so Yu Man didn't even have time to count how many islands they had passed. She only knew that their wings had swept across large areas of busyness.

There is a deserted island with roaring wild monsters.

There are groups of players who are trying to conquer the territory.

A large island with an old world civilization trying to interact with foreigners.

There are artificial islands inhabited by pagans who perform strange rituals.

There are also——

The tourist dessert boat sails into the harbor, and the main city island is bustling with activity.

That was exactly the place Yu Man wanted to visit along the way... He had to bring some small gifts for his old friend.

……

The sale of equipment has long been unlimited, and a large number of players from all over the world are wasting their time in the old world.

In addition to people like Yu Man who want to complete the game again, there are also a large number of people who are purely experiencing the game.

Some people started doing business in the old world, and some took risks.

There are also people who are extremely pure and just try to achieve things that they cannot experience in reality.

For example - opening a small shop.

With the opening of global shipping, the sea is no longer an obstacle, allowing players to travel freely. As a result, a business model has unknowingly spread to the world.

Open a shop on a small merchant ship, sail leisurely around the world, and show the shop to all the major city islands.

The most famous of them is the "Summer Dessert Boat", which is famous for selling desserts while traveling.

Its voyages will be announced on real-world websites, and every time it arrives in a major city, it will use local ingredients and specialties to create delicious desserts that will be sold in limited quantities.

It is a famous product in the entire Old World. Even pirates will not attack it, but are willing to escort it in exchange for a cup of ice cream or a cup of sweet tea.

But now——

It is sailing hard in the cracks of the southwest waters and is preparing to head to its next stop, the main city island called "Beaujolais".

The sky was covered with dark clouds and a terrible storm was swept in by a typhoon not far away, making the small boat shaky.

There were no docking stations nearby, and even the view began to be obscured by the waves.

It drifts in the water, its fate having long since left it.

but--

From a place higher than the lead-black clouds, a loud dragon song was humming softly.

then--

It brought down the bitter winter and froze the world.

Whether it is a nagging storm or a turbulent sea.

Also including that small merchant ship.

"Come."

In the freezing of all things—

Only the girl's voice dominated nature.

She raised her hand slightly.

Icicles rose from the sea, holding the small boat up to the sky.

It bypassed the dark clouds, climbed above the clouds, and touched the sky that was becoming so close.

Arrived - in front of Yu Man.

"Hello, are you open?"

The shop owner was already extremely shocked by what happened that day.

She clung to the boat tightly, looking down and then up in front of her in horror.

The Ice Prison Dragon slowly flew towards the icicle, wrapped in ice dust, and transformed into a young little girl. Together with the ice magician on its back, it arrived on the merchant ship.

"I want to buy something. Hello." Yu Man raised her hand to greet him. "Hi? English? Chinese? Or? I see you post in English on the forum, so you should understand, right?"

“…you…you…” The owner was speechless.

"I'm just an ordinary customer, but I don't want to get wet. It's a sunny day above the clouds, so I ordered takeout. Do you mind? I'll take you down later."

After another full minute of silence, the shop owner finally understood the situation: "Oh shit, eel."

"Hmm... so you are also Chinese?" Yu Man understood now.

"Holy crap, holy crap—we're open now!"

As expected of a famous old-world dessert shop, the owner remains dedicated even when doing business in this way.

"I'm an unknown sixth-rank pastry chef, working hard to meet the requirements for the seventh rank, so I opened this merchant ship. But it has nothing to do with profit. My only hope is to make everyone laugh. In the Old World, I can eat desserts to my heart's content without worrying about weight gain or my health. How wonderful! What do you need?!"

"I'm going to visit an old friend and need a cool, sweet dessert that makes people happy. It's best if it's sparkly, so you won't want to eat it and it looks luxurious."

"...That's a very complicated request—but there's a problem." The pastry chef racked his brains. "Almost all of the desserts I make need to be tasted on the spot, otherwise the flavor will be greatly reduced. The freshness of food is fleeting."

"That's fine. I'm an ice mage—I can negotiate with the ice elemental to keep it fresh for me."

But Yu Man hadn't finished ordering yet——

"And give me something to fill my stomach. I'm a little hungry. Also, give my Xiao Bing some small human dessert to shock me. I don't know what this guy usually eats..."

"Okay... okay! Then I'll prepare our shop sign for you two. But the storm just now made the sea violent, so we need to clean up the boat a little... Please take a seat and wait."

Yu Man pushed Xiao Bing, who was curious about everything, to sit at the table and chairs she had hastily prepared.

Just by looking outwards a little, one can see the entire dark cloud boiling below, accompanied by thunder and lightning, and the sound of the sea waves is even more vast than that.

But there is always sunshine above the clouds.

……

After a while, the pastry chef brought out two plates with confidence.

"Please try our signature dessert, which we are most proud of! Please be sure to pair it with the coconut milk that will be served shortly."

On beautiful, simple porcelain, two servings of baklava, adapted from special ingredients from the Old World, exuding a sweet flavor, were presented to them.

Yu Man subconsciously took a screenshot immediately.

Whether it is for the deer or the cat to see, it is very worthwhile.

But then I thought, I'm a girl now, so taking pictures of beautiful desserts... should be forgiven, right?

"Brother." At this time, Xiaobing was holding a plate, eyes full of curiosity, "What is this?"

"It's delicious, I hope you like it."

"Then let me try it first..." Xiao Bing did so, then subconsciously took a bite and immediately looked up, "Surprisingly... It tastes so much better than Big Brother's?!"

225·Thanks to the cute master sjfy!

I don’t know what Xiaobing ate when she was growing up, and her reference standard for food taste... is it me?

Yu Man couldn't help but laugh, and was very happy that she thought it was delicious.

"It's crunchy, so sweet, so sweet, so sweet—so sweet, big brother."

Xiaobing pinched the dessert and ate it in small bites.

Xiaobing was very satisfied with the crispness and sweetness of the puff pastry and the refreshing nuts scattered in it, and her eyes were always filled with surprise.

She was indeed a high-level mythical beast. Even though she was deeply attracted by the deliciousness of the food, she still had innate eating etiquette and did not wolf it down or eat it all in a rough manner.

At this time, the dessert chef came out of the boat and brought two more cold drinks.

"Please enjoy your meal - I'll go make your other order."

After saying that, the pastry chef looked back every three steps until she saw Xiaobing was eating happily and Yu Man also showed signs of eating. Only then did she feel relieved and walked away reluctantly.

"Brother, try some too. It's delicious." Xiaobing was worried that Yu Man couldn't experience this kind of happiness, so she couldn't help but urge him.

"Ah."

Yu Man picked up a piece and put it in her mouth. It was indeed delicious.

Amidst the crispy and sweet flavor, the nut crumbs have a slightly tough and refreshing taste, but no matter what, the delicious and rich sweetness always permeates and flows freely in your mouth.

Yu Man took a sip of coconut milk - it was bitter.

To be precise, there is a deep bitterness.

The complex aromas intertwine with each other, revolving around the perfect bitterness, while the taste is refreshing.

They gently wash away the rich sweetness of the dessert, making it perfectly balanced and exuding a new aftertaste.

"It tastes the same as last week..." Yu Man whispered.

This is the store she frequented last week.

After mastering natural magic, Yu Man learned thunder magic because he couldn't teleport in the old world.

It's the fastest-moving job in the world, just to be able to follow the store's voyages at any time.

"Brother, this is delicious! They sing together in my mouth! I eat a bite, drink a sip, and I'm so happy."

"Ah."

Last week, Yu Man was a lone gourmet who would only buy a portion when the crowds died down, and then go to an isolated island overseas to savor it quietly.

But now it’s different, she has people with whom she can share this delicious food.

——That’s not bad either.

"Ah...Brother! It's gone...I've finished eating it." Xiaobing suddenly exclaimed.

"I'll give you a piece of mine, come on—"

"No, no, no, brother, this can be bought with money, right? I collected some sparkling little stones. Can I exchange them for money when I get back? That way I can come here more often..."

Yu Man happily took out a few gold coins from his pocket. They fell on the table, spinning and dazzling in the sunlight.

She used her index finger to spread them out one by one towards Xiaobing.

Even though he was saving money, he could still afford to pay a few gold coins to make her happy.

as well as--

"Xiao Bing." Yu Man whispered softly in her ear, "Don't tell the pastry chef, don't tell anyone else. Keep it a secret for me."

"Ok?"

“Retaining time.”

Yu Man retrieved a table of intact desserts from the passing time.

"what!"

Xiaobing was so shocked that she couldn't even control her winter self and almost froze the entire boat to death on the clouds.

In front of my eyes, the plates and cups that should have been empty, the delicious food actually returned again!

On this day, the magician's magic is only for the realization of happiness.

Therefore, children will keep the magician's secret.

……

After eating to my heart's content and buying gifts——

Say goodbye to this little shop, say goodbye to the dark clouds and the rolling sea, say goodbye to the clear sky.

Yu Man rode on the silver dragon's back and continued his journey leisurely.

"Brother, is the place where my sister lives very scary?" Xiaobing was a little scared on the way.

"Well, the hell of the old world is where she—the 'Melting Dragon'—lives. For both of us, just getting close feels like melting. It's truly dangerous."

"...Then how do we get in?"

"She controls the fire element of the entire world, so there will always be a way. Or we can just knock on the door from a distance instead of going in. That's also fine... Anyway, if the situation seems wrong, we can just run."
