An Unorthodox Guide to Conquering Another World

“Okay, since we didn’t pay for the tickets anyway, Xiao Guang, you can take the photos and record all the beautiful scenes,” Ya Feng said.

"Good~"

So, Xiao Guang became their photography assistant, following behind them with his Huanwangtong camera to capture their precious moments.

"Xiao Guang, stop looking, come over and take a picture of this!"

"Xiao Guang, why are you filming that? Come and film this instead!"

"I told you not to run around like that, why are you taking pictures of the fish? Take pictures of me instead."

Xiao Guang held the Huanwangtong (a type of internet communication device) and looked at the photos of Ya Feng and Ilsa inside.

"Hmm... I feel like Hikaru was tricked by his master..."

...

"It's so pretty."

Inside the underwater tunnel, Ilsa looked up, watching the school of fish swim overhead, their faces reflecting blue light patterns, their eyes bright as they admired this "underwater" scenery.

"Yes, it's like a fairy tale world," Ya Feng sighed.

"What's wrong, Ya Feng?" Ilsa noticed that Ya Feng's tone seemed a little off.

"It's nothing...it's quite pretty," Ya Feng said, shaking his head.

"I'm just a little worried and afraid of seeing elephants."

"Why are there elephants in an aquarium?" Ilsa said, speechless.

"That would be best if there wasn't one." Ya Feng shrugged.

In fact, this man-made seabed reminded Ya Feng of the scene he saw when he entered the deep sea during his first playthrough. However, it was completely different from this dreamlike scene. It was a bizarre and crazy world, a forbidden zone that even the sea creatures dared not enter. This gave him a strange sense of disconnect, and some unpleasant memories surfaced in his mind again.

He pinched the bridge of his nose, suppressing his discomfort, and continued strolling around with Ilsa.

After visiting the inner area, they went to the outer area, which featured exhibits of seals, penguins, and some large fish.

"Hey, Ya Feng, look at that! What a beautiful creature!" Ilsa patted his head and pointed to an exhibit area over there.

Several pure white creatures, with graceful and slender bodies and long necks, were sunbathing on the artificial beach.

That's a dumerla, an amphibian species that lives in the western ocean islands and is known as the most beautiful fish.

“Hey, look at that one, doesn’t it look a bit like Zeshita?” Ilsa pointed to a Dumera lying on a rock, like a leader, its long neck held high, proudly surveying its territory.

“Yes, that’s true,” Ya Feng nodded, then added:

"Does that one over there look like you?"

Ilsa looked over and saw a slightly smaller Dumela in the nest under the rock, but it looked a bit fierce, with its eyebrows down, as if it had a bad temper.

"Hmm, it really does look like Ilsa." Hikaru leaned over the fence and looked over.

“I’m not that fierce!” Ilsa exclaimed indignantly.

Ya Feng and Xiao Guang looked at Ilsa, then exchanged a glance and chuckled.

"You two..."

"Okay, let's go see the penguins over there," Ya Feng said.

The penguin exhibit is filled with chubby little penguins huddled together, some of them wobbling around, all looking rather dazed.

"Xiao Guang, do you know why penguins are all black except for their white bellies?" Ya Feng asked.

"Xiao Guang knows! Because penguins have short arms, they can only scrub their bellies when they bathe! That's why only their bellies are white!" Xiao Guang said confidently.

"When I take a bath, there are some places that I can't reach, so I have to ask my mother, Ilsa, to help me wash."

"Is Ilsa's belly white?"

He had barely finished asking the question when Ilsa tapped him on the head.

"Oh, you can even feed the penguins here."

Ya Feng saw a sign that required ten credit cards to buy a small bucket of fish to feed the penguins.

"Xiao Guang, do you want to feed the penguins?"

"I want to~"

"Here you go." Ya Feng took out ten Dakka coins and handed them to Xiao Guang.

Xiao Guang looked at the coin in his hand with a puzzled expression, then at the penguins over there. Although it seemed a bit strange, he still threw the coin at the penguins. It landed near one of the penguins' feet and was kicked into the water.

"Master, the penguins won't eat." Xiao Guang turned to look at Ya Feng.

"..."

...

After wandering around outside, it was already time for the narwhal exhibit to open, so we followed the flow of people there.

"Wow, there are so many people."

Ilsa looked around, but thankfully her vantage point was high enough. By now, she had actually gotten used to riding on Ya Feng's back; the view was much better, and she didn't have to walk herself. The only downside was that it might be a little embarrassing, but thankfully there were no acquaintances around.

As she was thinking this, she heard a shout from the crowd:

"Oh! It's Linda! And Teacher Ya Feng too!"

Her body stiffened instantly, and she turned her head to see the last person she wanted to see.

Betty was waving at her from the crowd, followed by Susanna and Anne.

"Bebebebebebe?"

The people of Ilsa were completely dumbfounded.

She tried to lower her head and pretend she didn't know, but being placed on such a high place, it was difficult for her not to be seen.

The worst thing happened: all three girls ran towards her.

Chapter 138 Is this the contrast?

"Linda!"

The three people were already running towards them, and Ilsa quickly covered her face, pretending not to recognize them.

"Hey, isn't that your friend? What a coincidence, why didn't you say hello?" Ya Feng looked over.

"Stop looking! Let's go!"

In her haste, Ilsa instinctively clamped her grip on his head.

But there was no way to hide now; the three girls were already in front of her.

"Teacher Ya Feng! Long time no see!" Betty greeted Ya Feng warmly.

"Long time no see, Betty! Did you guys come to the aquarium too?"

Facing his little fan, Ya Feng immediately became very gentle and asked with a smile.

"I heard that narwhal is really beautiful, and it would be perfect for our homework. I never expected to actually run into one," Betty said happily.

"Because Linda really wanted to see the narwhals, I came with her," Ya Feng said with a smile.

"Oh, in that case, this person is..."

Betty looked at the girl sitting on Ya Feng's neck, wearing a small hat decorated with whales and a souvenir doll around her neck, who was tightly covering her face and almost burying her head in her chest. She covered her mouth with a grin.

"Oh my, you look like you're having a lot of fun, Linda~ I was wondering if I might run into you, but you said you came to the aquarium just to do your homework."

“Betty, I already told you it would be awkward to call her at this time. If Linda, who is usually so proper and mature like a little adult, were found to be happily playing horse-riding games with her dad at the aquarium with children’s toys, wouldn’t that be embarrassing? If it were me, I definitely wouldn’t want my friends to see that.” Susanna whispered to Betty, but Ilsa could hear her clearly.

“Oh~ so this is what they call a sense of contrast, right?” Anne looked at Ilsa with a meaningful smile.

"Linda, why didn't you say hello when your friend came?" Ya Feng raised his shoulders and said to Ilsa.

"Shut up..." Ilsa covered her face, her voice softening with shame.

It would be fine if we just happened to run into each other normally, but why did it have to happen at this particular time? My friend saw all the most embarrassing moments of my life!

"It's okay, we're already quite familiar with each other anyway," Betty said with a grin, leaning closer.

"On the contrary, it's not easy to run into Teacher Ya Feng, is it? It's such a coincidence that we bumped into each other today. Could you come and play with us? There are only three little girls. Would it be better if an adult led the group?"

"Hmm... I came with Linda, and she bought the tickets. Whether we want to keep them or not depends on her opinion, right?" Ya Feng chuckled, holding Ilsa's ankle.

"Well, there's nothing we can do about it. Linda is usually very possessive of her food," Betty said, shrugging.

“I, I don’t care!” Ilsa shouted, sitting on Ya Feng’s shoulders.

"Oh? That's fine then. Teacher Ya Feng, shall we go together? I brought my camera, let's take a picture later?" Betty picked up the small camera she was wearing around her neck and said with a smile.

At the same time, she glanced at Ilsa and saw that Ilsa was also peeking out from between her hands, glaring at her with annoyance and sticking out her tongue mischievously.

Hehe, teasing these kinds of young girls is the most fun!

Susanna and Anne exchanged a glance and shrugged helplessly.

"Idiot, put me down right now!"

Ilsa lowered her head and spoke to Ya Feng in a low voice.

"Hmm? You don't want to sit anymore?" Ya Feng said.

"Don't tell anyone!"

"Go, go, go."

Ya Feng squatted down and helped Ilsa off him.

Betty also moved closer to her.

"Sorry to interrupt your date~"

Ilsa blushed, glared at her, snorted, and looked sullen.

"Hmm, who is this child?"

Winnie noticed that Hikari, who had been staying to the side, was probably with them.

"My name is Xiaoguang, and I'm artificial intelligence," Xiaoguang introduced himself, pointing to himself.

"artificial intelligence?"

The three girls curiously gathered around, looking at the cute little girl.

"So cute, isn't it human?"

"Hmm... just think of you as my doll assistants, and also as family." Ya Feng patted Xiao Guang's head.

"Yes! Ya Feng is Xiao Guang's father, and Ilsa is Xiao Guang's mother—" Xiao Guang was about to introduce them when Ilsa immediately covered his mouth.

“Sister! I am her sister!” Ilsa cried out.

"Linda, why are you so agitated? Didn't you hear me clearly? Did that child call you Ilsa?" Betty only heard the first half and didn't hear the rest at all.

“Oh, that’s Linda’s middle name. That’s what we call her among our family,” Ya Feng said.

"Oh, I see. Ilsa is a pretty name. I'll call you Ilsa from now on," Betty said with a smile.

“Whatever…” Ilsa muttered.

Once they weren't paying attention, she turned to Xiaoguang and whispered, "Listen carefully, Xiaoguang, never call me 'Mom' outside. You can only call me 'Sister'!"

"Can't I call her Mom?" Xiao Guang asked, somewhat disappointed.

"Well... I... I'll let you call me whatever you want when we get back, but please don't call me 'Mom' in front of my friends!" Ilsa said seriously.

"Alright then." Xiao Guang nodded obediently.

So the three girls joined them and went with them to see the giant whale.

As the crowd entered the narwhal exhibit, it darkened. The space resembled a stadium, with tiered seating. Opposite was a large, semi-circular glass enclosure, specifically designed to display these large marine creatures.

The curtain had been drawn back, and under the dim blue light, a colossal creature swam slowly. It was over twenty meters long, with a streamlined and graceful body. It had a spiral-shaped horn on its head, and even more beautiful were the long, hair-like whiskers on its fins that swayed rhythmically as it swam in the water, giving it a dreamlike quality.

Narwhals are only medium-sized creatures in the deep sea, but in the giant aquarium of this exhibit, they possess an ultimate sense of natural grandeur.

Each viewing platform has a crystal display screen showing information about this narwhal, named Mano, a male whale, who is now 21 years old. He was separated from his pod when he was very young and wandered into a human harbor. After being captured, he has lived in an aquarium ever since. Because narwhals are very rare, they are exhibited on tours.

"What a huge fish..."
