When Boxed al logged into the ga again, it had been 12 days in the Segis World.
Awakening from his slumber, Youyou found himself lying in the villa gifted to him by Little Xian Miao so ti ago.
Outside the window was the beautiful scenery of Mountain Peak City, blue skies and white clouds, the spires of castles, the sound of church bells—bringing a sense of peace to the soul.
Covering him was the silk elf-woven blanket given by several Elf Elders from the Shadow Tribe after he helped settle them last ti, very soft and comfortable.
Beside the bed, Nightingale was resting her head on her hand, eyes slightly closed, nodding off.
Seeing her sowhat cute sleeping posture, Boxed al’s gaze showed a trace of smile, but it quickly vanished, replaced by lancholy.
He sighed softly and carefully turned to get out of bed.
However, Nightingale clearly wasn’t sleeping deeply, and Boxed al had barely moved before she awoke.
Her eyes, faintly filled with tears, were still a bit confused, but upon seeing Boxed al clearly, they widened with joy.
"You...you’ve finally woken up!"
She excitedly reached out to hold him.
Boxed al instinctively wanted to evade, but in the end, perhaps recalling sothing, he let her take his hand.
"Do you know? During this ti, I, Hu Lu, Chopin, Optimist... we were all so worried about you! Did you go back to the other world? Why didn’t you contact Hu Lu and the others?"
Nightingale spoke rapidly, with a bit of dissatisfaction on her face.
However, behind that dissatisfaction was a deep joy, and a hidden worry within that joy.
Boxed al apologized with a smile.
His smile was sowhat stiff, but beneath the stiffness was an indescribable tenderness.
Like a tough guy who doesn’t know how to express emotions clumsily apologizing:
"Sorry for making you worry."
After speaking, he looked towards outside the room:
"Where are they?"
Nightingale naturally knew who Boxed al was referring to by "they."
She pouted, then took a bowl of delicious fruit porridge from beside her and forcefully placed it into Boxed al’s hands:
"Eat sothing first. It’s been 12 days. Although you’re already a Gold Professional, after sleeping for so long, you must be hungry. Also, Hu Lu and the others went to do daily tasks; they should be back soon."
Looking at the fruit porridge Nightingale handed over, Boxed al hesitated for a mont.
But soon, he sighed inwardly, picked it up, and began eating with a spoon.
The fruit porridge was made by Nightingale herself, referencing Blue Star’s cuisine and combining it with the Elf Clan’s unique fruit brewing techniques, sweet, fragrant, and refreshing.
Boxed al ate mouthful after mouthful, seeming very much to enjoy and cherish it.
As if wanting to engrave this delicious mont forever.
Watching him enjoy the fruit porridge she made, Nightingale’s expression was very satisfied, resting her chin on her hand, her eyes full of smiles.
For a mont, the atmosphere in the bedroom was very warm.
But the next second, this warmth was shattered by a burst of surprise:
"Captain! You finally ca online!"
It was Hu Lu and several others.
Nightingale glanced at them unhappily, but soon got up with a pout.
And Hu Lu and the others quickly ca to Boxed al, asking worriedly:
"Captain, what happened the past few days?"
"Yeah, why did you suddenly go offline again?"
"We were really scared, thinking sothing had happened to you..."
Looking at his friends’ worried yet joyful expressions, Boxed al’s gaze grew softer.
"Oh, Captain, during the days you were offline, a noble who believes in the Goddess established a Follower Alliance in the south of the Holy Mania Empire, it’s a friendly force, with nurous richly rewarding tasks; want to check it out together?"
"Yeah! I heard there’s even a chance to drop the Divine Artifact Repair Points Scroll!"
Several players said excitedly.
However, hearing their words, Boxed al seed rather uninterested.
He rely shook his head lightly and said:
"This ti... I don’t really want to do tasks. I want to go explore various places in the Elf Forest, and I’d like to see the World Tree..."
Hearing Boxed al’s words, Hu Lu and the others were slightly surprised.
If these words ca from a sightseeing player’s mouth, they wouldn’t be surprised, but as a fad task freak and battle maniac in the Elf Kingdom, Boxed al had never been particularly interested in sightseeing.
Today...what’s going on?
They couldn’t help but look at Boxed al, who rely smiled at them, as if all the smiles of his life were left for today.
"Captain, can you stop smiling? For so reason... seeing you smile like this makes feel uneasy."
Chopin couldn’t help but say.
Boxed al froze for a mont, then smiled even more happily.
However, the happier he smiled, the more anxious Nightingale and several players felt.
"Don’t overthink it, accompany for a stroll."
Boxed al shook his head.
...
Several players eventually accompanied Boxed al to the Elf Forest.
They arrived at Chosen City, the core city area first established by players, and the Stele engraved with the IDs of 300 first-test players stood there.
Boxed al gently touched the Stele, sighing softly:
"Rember when the server first opened, this was just a forest and a cluster of wooden houses; now..."
He looked at the beautiful streets and the row upon row of buildings around him, feeling emotional:
"It’s beco a bustling tropolis."
Boxed al seed to have much to say today, dramatically contrasting with his previously reticent self.
