I draw cards infinitely in the world of anime.

However, such a great achievement is enough to allow Ais to level up.

"Sigh~, Ais, wasn't your sword worn out during the previous expedition because of those new monster species? You just sent it to the Guberon Familia a few days ago. What kind of weapon are you using?"

At this moment, Tiona spoke up and asked.

"Kong Yang went to Chun's place on my behalf and got a new weapon."

As he spoke, he took out the mithril sword.

The moment they saw the sword, everyone present was taken aback.

This is definitely a master-level weapon; there are only a handful in the entire Orario. And judging from the material, it should be made entirely of mithril, making it even more valuable.

Riveria was the only one who discerned something special in Ais's words.

Kong Yang took her to Chun and 'asked' for a new weapon.

It wasn't bought, nor borrowed, but demanded.

The difference between these is significant.

At this moment, a thought that she didn't want to believe suddenly popped into Riveria's mind.

That means there can't be any relationship between Kong Yang and Chun, right?

If Kong Yang were here right now and knew what Riveria was thinking, he would definitely say, 'Watson, you've discovered the blind spot.'

Looking at Ais, who was surrounded by everyone, she quickly tried to put the thought out of her mind, but once the thought had taken hold, it was extremely difficult to forget.

Meanwhile, Kong Yang didn't come here, because no one else knew that Kong Yang had returned.

Back in his room, Kong Yang turned and entered the miniature world.

Inside, the air was incredibly fresh. There was no sun overhead, but there was sunlight coming from who-knows-where, and the night would disappear, which made Kong Yang very curious.

Kong Yang didn't waste any time and immediately took out the blessing he had obtained earlier: the Water Tree Sapling.

After planting it in this small world, Kong Yang could feel a life force and magic flowing from the black soil beneath his feet into the water sapling.

Immediately afterwards, the water sapling grew at a visible speed, eventually growing into a tree about the size of an apple tree.

'Boom~'

This wasn't the end. A ditch slowly appeared on the side, and water flowed continuously from the roots of the water tree sapling—no, the water tree.

In no time, it turned into a small river that stretched all the way to the edge.

The water disappeared after touching the edge of the mist.

This stream is a flowing river, not a still puddle.

Kong Yang looked at all this with some surprise. He had only tried it out, but something so interesting had happened.

This world accepts and helps the water saplings grow.

"Huh? What's this?"

Suddenly at that moment, Kong Yang saw that on the Water Tree, there were bright blue fruits hanging.

He picked one off without hesitation and took a bite.

The next moment, Kong Yang was stunned, because what he ate was not fruit pulp, but a mouthful of water.

Kong Yang looked at the fruit. The part where Kong Yang had taken a bite was a deep blue color, like blue jelly, and the inside was water.

After taking root in this world, the water sapling grew into a water tree, and the fruit it bore was actually water fruit.

Kong Yang burst out laughing; this was truly hilarious.

It seems that planting the water saplings here was a very wise choice.

Although he didn't know what kind of blessing the water sapling was in the miniature garden, the water sapling he had was quite good. Kong Yang hadn't expected that the water sapling could grow.

Looking at the empty space around him, Kong Yang already had an idea in mind.

Kong Yang wants to transform this place into his own personal paradise.

Furthermore, now that there is water here, Kong Yang's first thought is to replenish his vitality here, raise some animals, and cultivate some land.

For a Chinese person, the tradition of farming and building a home is ingrained in their very bones.

By planting some land, I can achieve true self-sufficiency. Even if some special circumstances occur, I can rely on this small world to stay safe and sound.

With no shortage of food and drink, and the ability to avoid danger, it's perfect.

However, it remains to be seen whether the alien creatures will still be attacked by the mist.

Chapter 103 Received the Expedition Notice!

After confirming the changes in the small world, Kong Yang returned to Orario.

Then they came to the clan's settlement again to go out and buy goods.

First, there are seeds of various plants, such as grains, flowers, various vegetables, and also a lot of saplings.

Kong Yang threw all of these things into his small world, and spent the entire morning immersed in filling this small world that was exclusively his own.

It feels like I'm back in Minecraft.

Without exception, all the crops planted by Kong Yang sprouted and grew rapidly, as if they had been given hormones.

Even the saplings grew into big trees very quickly.

To this end, Kong Yang directly bought various fruit tree seedlings and turned an area into an orchard.

Kong Yang chose to locate the vegetable garden and orchard above the stream, while he plans to build his own little home below it in the future.

As for animals such as chickens, ducks, and fish, Kong Yang also bought some.

The fish were naturally released into the river, and as for the animals, they were all free-range, since there wasn't time to build any enclosures.

This also confirmed one thing for Kong Yang: once life entered this new world, it would not be swallowed up by the mist as before.

However, Kong Yang also discovered that he seemed to be able to manipulate these fogs.

Not only in the small world, but also outside.

These mists are like the hands and feet of a small world; Kong Yang can manipulate them to devour everything.

The world needs nourishment because it is not static; it needs to evolve, just as life needs to grow. This process is absolute.

Humans will starve to death if they don't eat, and the world will perish if it doesn't eat.

This was not because Kong Yang had awakened any powerful force, but simply because this miniature world had become one with him, sharing both glory and destruction. As its master, Kong Yang could naturally wield the power of this 'world'.

And so it wasn't until noon that Kong Yang finally returned to his clan.

"Kong Yang, you're finally back."

As soon as I entered, I heard a voice.

Kong Yang turned his head and saw Finn walking over.

"Is there anything I can help you with, Commander?"

"I've come to you this time because I want to ask you something."

"what's up?"

"You've already leveled up to level 3. According to Ais, you're quite strong, and with your spatial magic, I hope you can participate in the next expedition."

"When will the next expedition be?"

"It will take at least a month or two. After all, we just finished an expedition, and there are still many things to deal with, plus we need to prepare new supplies."

Finn said with a smile that this expedition had just ended, and it would naturally take a considerable amount of time before the next one could take place.

After all, exploring deeper levels requires an enormous amount of resources, including food, supplies, spare weapons, and various potions.

Especially regarding potions, many are either unavailable or in short supply on the market, so it takes time to collect them.

In addition, every expedition is a money-burning endeavor; if the profits are insufficient, then it's a loss.

"Okay, no problem."

"That's great. With you here, things will definitely be much easier this time."

"So, which aspect am I responsible for?"

"As for logistics, you don't need to do any hard work. You just need to protect yourself at all times and collect all the dropped items and magic stones along the way. Of course, you don't need to collect them yourself."

"It means to use it as a mobile warehouse."

"Uh, that's what I mean. Don't be angry. It's not that I don't trust you, but the deeper parts of the dungeon are much more dangerous than the upper levels."

"I understand. Everyone has their own role, and I am very clear about my own position."

"It's great that you think that way."

Finn breathed a sigh of relief, and his fondness for Kong Yang grew rapidly.

If it were anyone else, they would have gone from level 1 to level 3 in two months and wouldn't even know who they are anymore.

Kong Yang was still able to listen to me and was willing to take the position of "mobile warehouse" in the unit. This was also a way for Kong Yang to give me face and to give me, the regimental commander, face.

Meanwhile, Kong Yang was also calculating the time.

In the original story, the Loki Familia was forced to end its expedition because of a new type of monster that suddenly appeared in the dungeon.

On their way back, they encountered the Minotaur's monstrous feast, and the Minotaur, terrified by Loki's Familia, fled to the upper levels.

It was at this time that they encountered Bell, who was new to the dungeon.

A newcomer encountering such a terrifying monster naturally terrifies Bell, but Ais's appearance at this moment leads to a beautiful woman rescuing a hero, thus setting the stage for the story.

In the original story, Loki's next expedition was precisely the battle in which Bell redeemed himself from his past transgressions.

Under Freya's secret arrangement, Bell encounters the specially trained Minotaur, and then a fateful battle ensues.

After this battle, Bell won and accomplished the great feat required for promotion.

This period is one and a half months. Based on this calculation, the next expedition will be in a little over a month, since the expedition has already ended a few days ago.

Kong Yang then realized that he still had more than a month to go.

Having clearly understood all of this, Kong Yang had a better grasp of the situation.

"What are you thinking?"

Seeing Kong Yang standing there in a daze for a long time without saying a word, Finn couldn't help but ask.

"It's nothing. I was just thinking that in a month or two, I might be able to level up again. Then, I'll have a better chance of participating in the expedition at level 4."

"Well then, good luck."

Finn didn't know what to say at that moment.

Upgrade from level 3 to level 4 in just one or two months? That's wishful thinking.

However, considering that Kong Yang reached level 3 in just two months, it's not impossible.

In the end, all I could offer was a blessing, because he didn't want to say anything more.

After all, it took Finn several years to level up from level 3 to level 4, so now that he's encountered such a monster, he doesn't want to talk.

"Alright, then you should prepare well for the next month or two. I have something to do, so I'll head back first."

"Okay, take care."

"Ah."

Finn left, but in that short time, Kong Yang had already formed a new plan.

"Alright, let's go back and have a good meal first. We'll head to the dungeon this afternoon. There's something I need to test. The mist is the power of the small world. If I use the mist to kill monsters, will it count as mine?"

If we calculate it, then Kong Yang's monster-killing speed will increase rapidly.

After all, the areas shrouded in mist are hunting grounds. Lighting a water candle here will activate an enhanced monster feast, and the monster-killing speed will be incredibly fast.

Chapter 104 An Unexpected Guest!

After quickly finishing his lunch, Kong Yang headed towards the underground city.
