"Lilu, over here!"
Just as Kane and the others were leaving the room, they heard Xi’s voice coming from not far away.
Lilu appeared next to Xi in a flash, and the two embraced tightly.
Kane and the others also walked over.
Kreya approached Funa and said, "Ready so early? Sorry for keeping you waiting."
"Not at all. We just got here too."
Today, they planned to team up and head to the Mist Grassland; both teams had their goals there.
Since it was morning, Kane and the others could see quite a few Explorers heading out alongside them as they passed through the safety zone of the forest.
They crossed through the safety zone, then across a small bridge over the river, arriving at the opposite bank.
"Chirp!"
Cotton Candy’s voice erged, followed by a cloud of white mist rising from Kane’s body, gathering into a cloud, and then shaking its body.
"What’s this?" Xi’s eyes glead with curiosity as he stared at Cotton Candy.
Beside him, Funa also stared intently at this novel creature.
When they were together before, Cotton Candy was either scouting from the sky or playing outside, so this was their first eting.
Lilu flew to Cotton Candy’s side, patted Cotton Candy, and said, "Let introduce you, this is our team’s good friend, Cotton Candy."
"Chirp!"
The cloud beside Cotton Candy also transford into a hand, waving at Funa and the others.
"Hello Cotton Candy." Xi flew over saying, then hugged Cotton Candy’s body impulsively.
"So soft!" Xi buried his face in Cotton Candy and turned his head, looking blissfully happy.
Beside them, Funa also looked tempted.
Kreya saw this and covered her mouth with a smile, saying, "If you want to hug it too, go ahead. Cotton Candy won’t mind."
"Really?" Although Funa was asking, her eyes never left Cotton Candy.
"It’s fine, go ahead."
Hearing Kreya’s words, Funa nodded, then went up and greeted Cotton Candy, hugging its soft body.
Beside them, Kane was not paying attention to the scene but was seriously studying the map they held. The area they intended to go to was in the upper half, leaning towards the northwest.
Furthermore, the Sweet River encircled the map, but no direct route led there; there was only a small offshoot, too narrow for a boat to pass through.
So, Kane and the others planned to head there directly in a linear fashion.
"Yoyo, I’ll leave the specific route planning to you."
Hearing Kane’s words, Yoyo nodded and then set off on rollers to guide them ahead.
Cotton Candy had already risen into the sky, carrying izike’s Eye of Magic Power.
Behind Kane, Funa observed Yoyo, who was leading the way ahead closely.
Beside her, Kreya noticed and leaned over to ask, "What’s up? Is there sothing wrong with Yoyo?"
Hearing Kreya’s question, Funa turned her head, shook it, and said, "No, it’s just that I’ve always read about intelligent assistant robots in books but never seen one. It’s a bit overwhelming to see one suddenly."
When first eting Kane and the others, Yoyo was either playing with Lilu or controlling the vehicle from the driver’s seat, so Funa and the others didn’t pay much attention to the small spherical figure, thinking it was a robot Kane had built.
Now, hearing Kane and Yoyo’s conversation, after observing it carefully, she realized Yoyo was actually the legendary intelligent assistant robot.
"Is Yoyo also Kane Master’s?"
Although Kane had repeatedly asked Funa not to call him Master, after multiple interactions with Kane, Funa found it hard to change due to the benefits she gained.
"Of course, Yoyo definitely belongs to Kane. Speaking of the first ti seeing Kane..."
Thus, the two girls continued chatting about their previous experiences as they walked.
This route didn’t really have any major obstacles, allowing Kane and the others to reach their destination quickly by using vehicles.
However, they would miss out on too much — this place was new to them, and there were so many delicious foods and ingredients along the way. It would be a pity to miss them.
That would undermine their original intention of coming to this Dungeon.
Near noon, they arrived near a fruit forest.
The air was already fragrant with the scent of fruits.
Slling the aroma, Lilu imdiately dragged Kane toward it.
"Alright, alright, I see it. No need to pull."
The party veered off their path and took a few extra steps to arrive at the outskirts of the fruit forest, where the fragrance of fruits was so strong that every breath brought a sweet fruity aroma straight to their heads.
Looking carefully at the fruit forest in front of them, the construction of the fruit trees was quite bizarre. The top and bottom parts of the tree were very wide, only the middle looked extrely slender, resembling a dumbbell.
The branches only extended from the top part of the tree, spreading out like an umbrella.
Below these umbrella-like branches hung one fruit after another, each connected to the branch by a vine.
The fruit trees in the entire forest shared the sa shape, indicating they were the sa species, but the fruits hanging from the trees were varied in shape and color, not looking like the sa type of fruit.
Watching this scene, Kane was about to have Yoyo scan the fruit trees to project the illustration information.
And beside him, Rui directly revealed information about the fruit trees.
"The fruit trees in this grove are all Thousand Fruit Trees."
"Thousand Fruit Trees?" Longbei questioned upon hearing this.
"Yes, the reason these trees are nad such is that according to statistics, they can grow over a thousand different kinds of fruits, and every year new varieties are discovered. Maybe in a few hundred years, their na will beco the Tree of Ten Thousand Fruits."
After hearing Rui’s explanation, everyone nodded in agreent, but Kreya thought of sothing and asked, "Are the fruits from these trees found in other plants, or are they unique to these trees?"
"That’s the magical part. The fruits from the Thousand Fruit Trees are unique to the trees themselves and not already existing fruits from other trees."
How I want one!
This was Kane’s first thought after hearing the introduction of the trees.
If he could plant such a tree, it would be like having a vast variety of fruits, eating different ones every year.
Not only Kane, but Kreya and the others also had the sa thought.
The group entered the orchard, spread out, and picked the fruits they liked.
Kane and Lilulu, together, picked a thumb-sized purple fruit from the tree full of bizarre and colorful fruits.
The taste was indescribable, with no similar fruit to compare it to, but it was delicious.
Kane looked at Lilulu on his shoulder and asked, "How about it? Can you move this tree into your world?"
Even if this fruit tree had gained wisdom through the Rite of Spirit Awakening and possessed a soul, picking the fruits would not harm the tree, as the fruits would naturally fall off even if untouched.
So, this tree perfectly t the criteria for moving into Lilulu’s world.
"Of course, co and try it quickly with Lilulu." At this mont, Lilulu’s eyes were gleaming with eagerness.
Kane grabbed Lilulu, looked at Funa picking fruits nearby, and said, "Don’t we need to avoid them? Won’t exposing your world cause problems?"
Hearing Kane’s question, Lilulu turned her head to look at him, her eyes radiating the disdain of a scholar staring at a dunce.
"What’s with that look?" Kane flicked Lilulu’s forehead with his finger.
"Ouch!" Lilulu rubbed her forehead with both hands and said, "Kane, you’re such a dummy. Haven’t you finished reading the Magic Book?"
After Lilulu finished, seeing Kane shake his head in response, she couldn’t help but tease, "So slow?"
What do you an, so slow? Kane’s veins popped hearing Lilulu’s words.
Even with accelerated learning skills, Kane had many things to complete.
He needed to further study chanical knowledge and think about various new devices, as well as how to perfectly incorporate magic into his chanical equipnt.
All of these took ti, and naturally, the progress of learning the Magic Book slowed down.
Lilulu shook her head helplessly, crossing her arms and said, "Well, then, let Lilulu the teacher teach you."
The glee in her tone was unmistakable.
"Yes, yes, thank you, Teacher Lilulu."
"Hehe, no choice."
"Ahem!" Lilulu cleared her throat and feigned seriousness as she began to explain.
"For the Elental Plane to develop, it’s impossible with just Lilulu alone. Lilulu can only create a prototype. To grow further requires forming contracts with other capable individuals."
"Those who sign contracts can use the power of the Elental Plane and receive help from creatures within it, but they must also provide rewards. These rewards naturally make the Elental Plane stronger."
"And these familiar people are the first batch Lilulu has her eyes on. When the first stage of the Elental Plane fully forms, they are the first targets Lilulu will go to for signing contracts."
"How about now? Understand?"
After listening to Lilulu, Kane nodded.
The Fairy Tale World is a new Elental Plane, built essentially due to Lilulu, who might be the first-born Spirit of Fairy Tales.
Apart from the largest and original Elental Planes, which grew through self-accumulation and ti, most others grew in this manner.
If elents and their planes of the sa attributes appear, conflicts might even arise.
Such a vast group of planes were born so long ago that their inception is untraceable, making it tough to find undiscovered elents.
However, in the Mist World, due to Lilulu’s appearance, a new elent erged, and the Elental Plane it represented had almost no competition and no growth bottlenecks. With resources, it could grow endlessly.
With nothing to hide, it can be almost asserted that the growth of the Fairy Tale World is surely protected by the Mist.
Opposing the Elental Plane and Lilulu in this world is almost suicide.
Realizing this point, Kane no longer hesitated.
A chanical structure began to erge on his body, and as it extended and assembled, a cha over five ters high enveloped Kane.
Upon closer inspection, the cha had no visible cannons or any attack devices, only its arms seed to have blades and saws.
Architect Master, that’s the na Kane gave this set of cha.
It was specially designed for various construction work and digging tasks.
Kane designed various types of cha like this.
He often designed cha for different environnts and conditions, not necessarily for imdiate use, but as practice, just in case they co in handy one day.
Especially when Kane first obtained accelerated learning, he almost never stopped designing all sorts of cha, relentlessly spilling his imagination.
