March 6, afternoon, the town of Lyukan, Norway.

"Crying Bao Long, where's Yuri?"

Wrapped in a scarf and holding a gift box, Anson Lu walked into Yuri's house, the door was unlocked, and only a figure could be seen in the living room.

"Who is Crying Baolong?"

Asuka Uesugi held her chin and glared at him squintingly.

"Asuka-san, where's Yuri?"

Anson Lu shrugged his shoulders and reluctantly changed his name.

"I'm going to buy the materials I need to paint."

Asuka Uesugi snorted softly, twisted her little face, and continued to read the manga.

"Huh? Where? Anson Deer raised an eyebrow.

Going to other cities at this time is tantamount to moths to a fire, especially in New York, where members of the law enforcement team are stationed, and as a member of the Hell Lighthouse, Yuri will be hunted down as long as she is reported.

It's false to say not to worry.

But be rational, with Yuri's strength, nothing will happen.

"Huanjing." Asuka replied lightly.

Huanjing ...... Anson Lu breathed a sigh of relief, it may be dangerous for Yuri to go to other cities, and it doesn't matter if he goes to Beijing-Jiang Yijie will watch it, so that nothing will happen.

"And what are you doing here?" He sat down on the couch.

"I can read comics." Asuka paused, "By the way, I see her drawing, she draws very well." ”

Anson Lu glanced at the drawing board erected with a wooden stand, which was still blank, and the paint plate next to it was also empty, and it could be seen that Yuri hadn't started writing today, probably because of the lack of paint.

"Hey, to be recognized by your eldest lady, she must be really good at drawing."

"Well, she's a half-finished product."

Asugi Uesugi was impatient, she still held her chin with one hand, and pinched the manga with the other, but the hand holding her chin moved her little finger and motioned for Anson Deer to look to the right side of the drawing board.

Anson Lu looked down her fingertips, and a painting was leaning against the windowsill, covered in gray cloth.

"What is she drawing?"

"You'll find out if you see it yourself."

"You still have to respect other people's privacy."

"Please, I can see it, why doesn't she show you, you're hers...... Never mind. ”

"Maybe she'll want to show me the finished product? And not halfway to the painting. ”

"I'm so envious." Asuka said suddenly.

"What do you mean?"

"That's why you're going to be so attentive to her."

"No, I don't."

"Yes, the person concerned is always unconscious."

"Crying Baolong, don't learn the style of a crow, I hate it when others dissect me."

"What's the use of dissecting a broken person like you?" Asuka lowered her eyes and muttered, "Who knows which side of you is pretending and which is real." ”

"You see me that way, too, but I still think it's ......," Anson Deer bowed his head, "I don't actually pretend to be anything, whether it's in front of you, in front of Yuri, or in front of anyone, I show myself." ”

"Then your 'self' is too diverse." Asuka sarcasm.

"Well, it may only be a part, it may be a little ......fragmented," Anson Lu scratched his cheek and said slowly, "Of course, there are also ingredients for the outfit, but I don't have that strength now." ”

"Yes......" Uesugi Asuka is careless.

She is actually a little unaccustomed to it, Anson Lu used to be silly in front of her, pretending to be crazy and stupid, since that day, Anson Lu's attitude towards her has changed.

At least, it's true that a lot of honesty is true, not as hippie and smiling as before.

"What do you think, Asuka?"

"I don't hate it."

"That's good." Anson Lu whispered, "I also know that I am quite weird, and I may not know how to really get along with others, but I do learn slowly." ”

"You...... She's not a weirdo, it's clear that you're the one who takes care of her more. ”

"Take care of each other, to be exact."

"It's very decisive when you treat others, why do you twist and pinch in front of her?"

"If there is such a thing, then I should reflect on it."

"Actually, I asked her two days ago, why do you like a guy like you who has a rotten personality and a broken personality like a broken mirror, and is like a guy with a thousand faces."

Anson Lu was stunned, sighed lightly and said, "Comrade Asuka, you have also described me too much. ”

"So, guess what Yuri said?"

"Accept it, why don't you tell me......"

"Huh, you're so daring?"

"And what did she say?" Anson Lu looked indifferent, but he was a little apprehensive in his heart.

She said......" Asuka looked away, "Even if you are a shattered mirror, the person who loves you will pick it up one by one, and muttered as she picked it up, this piece is mine, and that piece is mine." ”

Anson Lu was stunned for a long time, lowered his head and turned on his phone, chuckled and teased:

"How can she speak so nicely, like poetry."

"Touched?"

"It's a little."

"Hmm...... It's good, I thought you were really that cold. ”

"No, I think I've always been quite affectionate and righteous."

"I'm talking about your appearance."

"Okay, I'll admit that."

"Be kind to her, my deer president." Asuka Uesugi carelessly flipped through the manga pages.

"Of course......" Anson Lu paused and said, "It's good to have you as a friend, there are too many weirdos in the union, and I can't usually find anyone to communicate normally." ”

Firewood burned inside the house, and the faint light of the fire was like a red young beast with teeth and claws, swinging its body, swallowing firewood and gradually growing, spreading out a comfortable temperature outward.

In the quiet room, the two sat on either side of the sofa, one looking at his phone and the other flipping through comics.

"Actually......" Asuka muttered in a faint voice, "I'm not normal either, I don't want to be so normal." ”

"What?"

"No, I'm going back." Asugi Uesugi got up from the couch, stretched, and closed the manga.

"Let's go."

"That's right......" Asuka walked to the door and turned her head to look at him: "Teacher Chu said that he cooked dinner, we can go to his house to eat, you tell Yurui." ”

"Okay, Mr. Chu's cooking skills are really exciting, and I'm already drooling."

"Bang."

Asugi Uesugi closed the door lightly, but the cold Norwegian wind pushed it, causing the door to slam like a signal to stop, and the whistling wind that lasted only two seconds was silenced.

There was silence in the room.

Anson Lu lifted his chin and quietly played with Minesweeper on his mobile phone, waiting for Yuri's arrival, he hadn't spoken to Yuri much in a while, since Yu Mingdao's death.

In fact, he himself had concerns.

If, at the moment of Yuri's departure, his mind spirals out of control, everything he has worked so hard to create up to this point will crumble and make no sense.

Therefore, the two avoided each other as if they had reached a consensus.

But after the seventh round of dungeons, Anson Lu's mind changed a little - even though he knew how violent the pain of parting was, he wanted to cherish the present moment as much as he could, rather than alleviate the damage by avoiding it.

Crunch......

Soon, the door opened.

Anson Lu put away his phone and turned his head, and under the Norwegian snow, there was a girl whose skirt and hair were so white that she seemed to be about to melt into the snow.

She gently pushed open the door, holding a bag in her left hand, and her slender right hand ruffled the strands of snow-white hair behind her.

When she saw Anson Deer in her clear eyes, she was obviously stunned for a moment, like a stunned little penguin, she took two or three steps forward expressionlessly, and closed the door behind her without looking back.

"I'm back, this round of dungeons is relatively long."

"Long time no see."

"It's a gift for you."

Anson Lu handed her the gift in his hand and added: "By the way, there is also your 3DS game console, I helped you catch 'Pikachu' in the dungeon, and the game console is also in the gift box." ”

"Okay......" Yuri lowered his head and took the gift box, "I can open it?" ”

"Let's open it later." Anson Lu exhaled a white breath and asked with a smile in his eyes, "By the way, you seem to be drawing something, can I take a look?" ”

Yuri put his hand on his chin, hesitated for a moment, and said in an emotionless voice:

"I'm not done yet, I'll show you when I'm done."

"Sure enough."

"See?" The Icelandic girl raised her clear eyes and stared at him.

"I didn't watch it, I don't know why, I just feel like you don't want me to watch it yet."

"Intuition?"

"Ah, didn't I tell you? My super-instincts can only be used for the next four seconds, and I won't be able to cheat on this kind of thing. ”

“…… Got a heart? ”

“……”

Anson Lu was speechless, and the tips of his ears were a little red.

"The words you just learned, in the dictionary." Yuri paused, tilted his head, and asked, "Is the context right?" ”

"That's right, maybe it's a heart."

"Okay."

There was a flash of pleasure in Yuri's clear eyes, and the strands of snow-white hair swayed slowly.

After that, because Yuri didn't let Anson Deer watch her draw, saying that he had to wait until the painting was finished before showing it to him, otherwise it wouldn't be interesting, so Anson Lu didn't stay long and returned to his house.

As it happens, he still has a bunch of things to deal with.

"First of all, I still have to ask Yuliuu for low-grade materials, but I don't know if he can find it...... I haven't seen much inferior material until now. ”

Anson Deer sat on the bed, opened Natasha's panel, and muttered in a low voice.

Every time he sees Natasha's advanced needs, he gets a headache.

The Queen's Stone Statue, which is now the low-level chess game "Slum Girl - Natasha", requires a full 10,000 low-level materials and a lot of evolution coins to be able to advance to the normal level.

Even if it is a low-grade material, ten thousand are still hard to find.

Moreover, it seems that low-grade materials are the most rubbish materials, but it is definitely more difficult to make up 10,000 low-grade materials than it is to gather 10,000 ordinary materials.

Because, the evolution game has progressed to the point where the seventh round of dungeons has ended, and most ordinary players have at least begun to use "epic materials" or even "legendary materials" to build equipment.

Taking 10,000 steps back, even if they would collect ordinary grade materials, it would never be possible to collect inferior materials - because in such an environment, inferior materials are complete waste.

Anson Deer had no clue at all, so he could only ask Raven or Uliuu.

In addition, asking the official is the easiest, but he has a lot of contact with Lorenzo for the time being, and Jiang Yijie is the last choice - if it is not necessary, Anson Lu does not want to ask him for the time being.

At this time, Anson Deer had already asked the crow to find the two legendary materials used to create the "Christmas Snowman", and there were quite a few of them, so it would not be too kind to ask the crow to find other materials.

If his Raven-headed military advisor dies of overwork, it will be more than worth the loss.

So, of course, Anson Deer can only find the "Alternative Crow" at this time, that is, the "Devouring Hand" - Yuliwu.

He opened his friends list, which had very few friends, and at a glance he saw the rather prominent name "Juliu Mena", Anson Deer entered the conversation panel and sent him a voice message.

"Juliu, I want to ask you to find materials, are you free?" Anson Deer asked.

"What are you looking for?" Yuliuu replied with text, as fast as ever.

"Inferior material."

"Inferior?"

From this question mark alone, you can see Yuliu's incomprehension.

"That's right, it's inferior, I'm sorry for you." Anson Deer said.

"Okay, how much? I should be able to find it. ”

"Ten thousand." Anson deer lion opened his mouth.

“...... Do you know how hard it is to find? ”

"Please! Comrade Xiaomei, I can only ask you! ”

"Then I'll try to make it up, but it will take at least three or four days, and if you can't trust me, you can go to someone else."

"Three or four days? Okay, of course I can trust you. Anson Lu thought for a moment and turned off the panel.

He knew that Juliu didn't like, so he tried to be as concise as possible and ended the conversation after sending the message.

This mafia boss is usually busy with affairs on the Mexican side, and after the evolution game lands on the global side, he must preside over the overall situation, otherwise the underground world on the Mexican side will already be in chaos.

Anson Lu yawned and closed the chess board.

"Well, Santa's materials are for Crow to find, and Natasha's materials for Yuliu to find, so don't worry about it for the time being."

He finally relaxed, yawned, and lay down on the bed to think about Yuri's expression when he opened the gift and saw the "never-withering flower of the ice field" inside.

The next round of quests, the eighth round, starts on March 15.

Before that, Anson Deer had nearly ten days of vacation, and it was said that it was a holiday, which was not fun for an otaku like him.

So, he bought a Switch, downloaded some games on the eshop to pass the time, and also played Persona 5, which he had always wanted to play, as if he had found the feeling when he was a high school student.

For some reason, time flies by in Norway, and the eighth round of dungeons arrives shortly after.

However, what Anson Lu didn't expect at all was that in this crucial eighth round of dungeons, the dungeon that was brushed out would be so outrageous, completely beyond the imagination of him and everyone in the team.
