The next day.
Yang Tao returned from Level 75. This time, he gave up the idea of heating solid gallium, because all types of heating devices have range limitations.
Moreover, staying in Level 75 for a long time would trigger heavy metal poisoning, so he simply arranged for a large number of Villagers to enter it. When it was solid, they would return to the Overworld to rest and drink milk, and when it was liquid, they would enter to collect liquid gallium.
This way, they could avoid poisoning and maximize their energy gain.
"It's really hard to earn money and even harder to eat shit. Is it easy to earn a little energy after all this hard work?"
Yang Tao sincerely sighed, but when he saw the energy on him, his face was filled with an uncontrollable smile.
"Upgrade!"
Energy - 20.48 million
"Upgrade!"
Energy - 40.96 million
"Upgrade, wonderful!"
Energy was earned quickly, but also spent quickly. Fortunately, the Overworld's growth also doubled.
He looked up at the sky.
Suddenly, he noticed that the square sun, which had always hung in the sky, seemed to have moved ever so slightly.
'Is this going to have a day-night cycle now?'
It was normal for the Overworld to have a day-night cycle.
He walked straight towards the wooden door of the Supernatural World. It had been a while since he had seen Elisa, so he might as well take the opportunity of Miko's coming-of-age ceremony to see how she had been doing recently.
Pushing open the wooden door, he found a familiar bedroom. Miko was lying on the bed, sleeping soundly, completely unaware of Yang Tao's arrival.
'Uh... why is this Miko's bedroom? Shouldn't it be Elisa's bedroom?'
Miko's room hadn't changed much. He glanced at the clock on the wall.
4:58
'I came too early.'
Just as he was about to retreat and wait a bit longer, Miko, who was lying on the bed, suddenly moved, kicking off the pink blanket covering her.
Her fair thighs were exposed to the air, a classic blue and white bowl...
Suddenly, the atmosphere in the room became a bit hot. Yang Tao only felt a rush of blood to his head, and two little figures appeared in his mind.
One of the little figures shouted loudly: 'Don't look for nothing, you're not doing it on purpose!'
The other little figure, with an expression of being ashamed to be associated, said: 'We are gentlemen! How can we just look, go, touch!'
Ding, ding, ding...
The alarm clock on the nightstand suddenly rang. Miko subconsciously reached out and slapped the alarm clock, opening her eyes groggily.
"Hmm~ I wonder when Mr. Yang will come..."
Miko mumbled softly, then got out of bed, picked up a bathrobe, and walked out of the bedroom towards the washroom.
Yang Tao, who had just been invisible, let out a sigh of relief.
'Almost got mistaken for a pervert...'
As he walked out of the room and was about to go downstairs, he saw Elisa standing silently in the hallway, staring at him.
"You're here..."
"Yes."
It was normal for Elisa to sense him. After all, the current Elisa was considered a Boss figure, neither big nor small.
"Today is Miko's coming-of-age ceremony?"
"Yes."
A meaningful smile suddenly appeared on Elisa's face as she said, "The unripe fruit has ripened, oh~"
Yang Tao: "..."
"Elisa, I think I should send you to another world. You've been living here for too long and have been corrupted by bad things."
After leaving that ghostly place, Silent Hill, Elisa's personality had changed a lot.
Hearing his words, Elisa chuckled and didn't say anything more, just gently opened the bedroom door next to her.
Seeing this, Yang Tao also followed Elisa into the room.
Elisa's room looked very ordinary and was not as gothic as he had imagined.
Click.
She closed the door behind her, dispelled her invisibility, sat on a chair, and asked Elisa with a smile, "How have you been recently?"
"Not bad, I find I've grown to like this world."
Elisa didn't hide her true thoughts and continued to stare at Yang Tao, saying, "Interesting things happen every day."
"Whether at school or out on vacation, as long as I'm with Miko and Hua, evil spirits will come to us every day."
"Hehe, you like it, but those evil spirits can't even cry."
This was no longer a buffet; this was like being chased and fed.
"Elisa, since it's Miko's coming-of-age ceremony, I'll take you to a seaside town later to explore and experience its unique customs. Not only Miko, but even you will be greatly surprised."
Yang Tao's face showed a meaningful smile. He just wanted to ask if Loguetown was a seaside town?
Did it have unique customs? Could it greatly surprise Elisa?
Although the Silent Hill world and Miko's world both had ghosts, they were mainly humans, and even the ghosts were human souls.
But the One Piece world could be said to have all sorts of chaotic races, from the ocean to the sky, from dwarves to giants, with a span greater than the difference between humans and dogs.
After chatting with Elisa in the room for a while, footsteps soon came from outside.
Knock, knock...
The door was knocked. Elisa got up and walked over to open the door. Standing at the door was Miko, who had just finished showering and changed into a luxurious bathrobe.
"Elisa, look at my beautiful..."
Before she could finish her sentence, Miko saw Yang Tao sitting in the bedroom. In an instant, her cheeks turned crimson, and her bright eyes showed an expression of surprise.
"Mr. Yang, you... how did you come so early?"
Yang Tao showed a friendly smile, thinking to himself, 'I came even earlier than you imagine...'
"I just arrived a while ago. It's been a while, and Miko has become even prettier."
"Where... where did I..."
"You've grown taller and your skin has become much fairer, and your spirit has improved. Miko has truly become a big girl."
What Yang Tao said was pure nonsense. Now with Elisa by her side, Miko no longer had to worry about ghosts crawling into her bed in the middle of the night, nor did she have to worry about being inexplicably eaten by ghosts.
Better sleep and mood naturally led to improved complexion.
Hearing Yang Tao mention so many changes in her, the blush on Miko's face became even deeper, and her eyes were almost dripping with water. Yang Tao looked at Miko and said with a smile, "Alright, Miko, you go back and get ready first. I'll take you to the beach..."
Miko nodded gently, leaving Elisa's bedroom door in a daze. When Miko returned to her own bedroom, Elisa turned around and looked at him with a smile, not saying a word.
Yang Tao looked at Elisa, puzzled, and asked, "What do you mean by looking at me with that expression?"
"Nothing, I just feel like you've changed."
"Changed? How have I changed?"
Yang Tao was a bit unclear about Elisa's meaning, but Elisa didn't explain, just shook her head gently and said, "I won't tell you."
Indeed, this ghostly place was not for ordinary people to stay. Elisa had also become a riddle person.
