Chapter 342 (10,000 words, please vote!)
Upon seeing the small figure at the door, Qiu Tu paused, momentarily stunned.
He looked closely. Then he saw Fang Tangtang sitting beside the study, her slender back against the cold, autumn wall. Her hands were wrapped around her knees, her body slightly curled up, her head bowed, fast asleep…
Judging from her appearance, she must have come to the study, knocked on the door but no one answered, so she could only sit silently at the door and wait, and then... she fell asleep.
It's late autumn now, and you're just lying on the floor with your back against the wall, aren't you afraid of catching a cold...?
Thinking this, Qiu Tu shook his head slightly, a hint of pity flashing in his eyes.
Then he walked over, put one arm around the girl's shoulder, and supported her bottom with the other, and lifted her up by the waist.
The girl was slender, with only a slight weight around her chest, but in front of Qiu Tu, who was at the peak of the second tier, she was as light as a rag doll.
So, Qiu Tu didn't even have to exert any effort; he simply carried Fang Tangtang in his arms and walked towards the bedroom.
Perhaps drawn by Qiu Tu's reassuring scent, Fang Tangtang shifted slightly before resting her head on his shoulder and drifting off to sleep peacefully...
Qiu Tu carried Fang Tangtang to the bedroom and put her on the bed.
First, he covered her with a blanket, and then Qiu Tu went to wash up quietly.
While washing up, Qiu Tu also summarized the intelligence and information he had obtained during his first entry into the "Boundless Sea of the Heart".
First and foremost, the most obvious thing is... the days and nights in the boundless sea of the mind seem to be reversed.
In the real world, it is clearly night, but in the boundless sea of the heart, it is daytime, incomparably bright.
Secondly... although the "Boundless Sea of the Heart" is defined as a "spiritual world," Qiu Tu didn't notice anything different from the real world during his first entry.
He originally thought that as a world formed by the aggregation of spirits, the "Boundless Sea of the Mind" must be incredibly bizarre and strange, and could undergo strange changes at any time.
However... nothing strange happened during the few hours Qiu Tu was investigating.
If Qiu Tu hadn't been certain that he was in the "Boundless Sea of the Mind," he probably would have suspected that he had just been transported to another corner of the real world!
After all, the physical rules and ecological environments of the two worlds are too similar!
Finally, although Qiu Tu hadn't found the region's control center, he wasn't entirely without any clues.
Don't forget that he once went to the stream where Larilu bathed.
Qiu Tu had been to that stream in La Riluo's memory before, and he remembered the direction of the regional central hub when he was there.
Therefore... according to mathematical theory: two lines on the same plane will always intersect as long as they are not parallel!
Therefore, as long as the "memory fragments" bring him to a conspicuous area, especially after Lariro has taken control of the New Territories, it will be possible.
In theory, he could draw two intersecting straight lines by sensing Larilu's connection to the regional central nervous system.
The point where these two straight lines intersect is... the location of the regional central area!
This is why Qiu Tu didn't get the specific location of the regional central hub from Cui Yinglong tonight, but he didn't care.
Not for any other reason than that he had confidence in his heart!
With that thought in mind, Qiu Tu, having finished washing up, returned to his bedroom.
In the bedroom, Fang Tangtang curled up in the blankets, her body trembling slightly.
Upon seeing this, Qiu Tu was slightly taken aback, then walked to the bedside, lifted the quilt, and lay down.
Lying in bed, Qiu Tu reached out and pulled Fang Tangtang into his arms.
The girl's body seemed a little hot, and she was trembling slightly.
'Is he running a fever?'
Qiu Tu turned his head and glanced out the window.
It's already early winter, the leaves on the trees outside the window have long since fallen, and the weather has turned completely cold.
The girl probably got cold because she wasn't wearing enough clothes and was sitting on the ground leaning against the wall.
However, there's nothing to worry about with such a minor illness.
Thinking this, Qiu Tu hugged her and then put his hand inside her clothes, gently stroking her smooth back.
The power of cataclysm accompanied Qiu Tu's movements, slowly entering the girl's body and warming her.
To restore the body's order and return it to a healthy state.
The power of "Order" catastrophe is, besides the power of "Life" catastrophe, the most suitable way to heal injuries and diseases.
While it may be slightly less effective and slower than the "life" pathway, its strength lies in its peacefulness...
Thinking this, Qiu Tu, following his usual routine of playing a "loyalty game," slowly drifted off to sleep...
Silent all night.
The next morning, Qiu Tu was awakened by the sound of a gentle wriggling in his arms.
He slowly opened his eyes and looked at the girl in his arms.
The girl's face was flushed, her eyes were glistening with tears, and she was nestled in his arms, looking up at him.
Although her features still held a touch of youthful innocence, her natural beauty already gave her a captivating gaze that drew people in, making them want to look again and again.
The two looked at each other, and the girl lowered her head shyly.
Seeing this, Qiu Tu found it quite amusing. "What? You've slept with me so many times, and suddenly you're embarrassed?"
Upon hearing this, the girl quickly shook her head gently.
In front of Qiu Tu, she always seemed like a vulnerable little white rabbit. She whispered, "No... it's just that you... were holding my... um..."
Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu looked down.
Sure enough, his hand was grasping the part of the girl's heart closest to it...
Because of E's approachable nature, that soft ball of flesh is almost impossible to grasp with one hand.
Seeing this, Qiu Tu showed no embarrassment whatsoever.
He continued to pinch her skin while asking, "Do you know you had a fever last night?"
Hearing Qiu Tu's words, the girl was clearly a little confused.
She looked up at Qiu Tu and shook her head slightly.
Qiu Tu said, "It's probably because you didn't go to bed properly and instead squatted outside my study."
He gestured with his head towards the weather outside, "It's so cold now, with your health, how can you not catch a cold and get a fever?"
Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Fang Tangtang also remembered that she had waited for Qiu Tu last night, but ended up falling asleep.
So she lowered her head and said weakly, "I'm sorry for...for causing you trouble and making you worry."
Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu nodded and then said, "I'm not worried. After all, it's not a very serious illness."
"It's just a bit of a pity."
Fang Tangtang clearly didn't understand Qiu Tu's meaning.
So she looked up with a puzzled expression and asked timidly, "What a pity? What's a pity?"
Qiu Tu gave the girl a deep look, then lowered his head and nibbled on her delicate earlobe, whispering in her trembling ear, "Because... we didn't try it when she had a fever of 38 degrees..."
Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, the girl's face flushed bright red, even redder than when she had a fever the night before.
She stammered, "I...I..."
Seeing this, Qiu Tu's eyes flashed with a smile, then he pulled her into his arms and drew the blanket over her...
Last night, when Qiu Tu returned home, the girl was arranging flowers under the dim light of the restaurant.
At that time, Qiu Tu had endless wild thoughts in his mind.
Now he can also learn to arrange flowers, just like the girls...
Fang Tangtang had only just recovered, so Qiu Tu let her go after only 40 minutes.
While the girl continued to lie down and recover, Qiu Tu got up and went to the bathroom to take a shower.
While taking a shower, Qiu Tu wasn't idle either. He opened and checked out a loyalty game.
As expected, last night's "Loyalty Game" ended in Shen Lingshuang's victory.
Unlike before, Shen Lingshuang did not defeat La Riluo with the help of a little white dog, but with her own efforts.
This time, she had several throwing knives flashing with lightning in her hands.
Even with the pixelated screen, it's clear that those throwing knives are no ordinary objects.
Not only did it leave Larilu covered in cuts and bruises, but it also managed to connect the lightning from several throwing knives together to form a lightning cage, trapping Larilu on the ground.
'Has Spirit Frost created another interesting Cataclysmic Noble Phantasm?'
'Looks like...it's pretty powerful...'
While thinking this, Qiu Tu also checked the victory rewards from last night's [Loyalty Game].
Lari's loyalty has increased by 3, now it's 24.
【Memory Fragments (Small)】
It has to be said that the drop rate for Lariel's loyalty quest is really stable.
Regardless of how you are defeated, as long as you win, you will consistently gain 3 points of loyalty and obtain a memory fragment.
Qiu Tu felt that even if he couldn't get enough clues from the fragments of memory, as long as he increased La Riluo's loyalty little by little, he might be able to figure out the central area of the region soon.
With that in mind, Qiu Tu didn't delay.
After he finished showering and dried himself off, he clicked on "Memory Fragment (Small)".
The surrounding scenery shifted and distorted. The next second, Qiu Tu found himself in a familiar scene...
Towering trees formed a circle, their branches and leaves intertwined, layer upon layer, enclosing a circular area of several hundred square meters.
Only the sky above our heads, like the opening of a well, remains!
Qiu Tu was stunned for a moment, then his heart was filled with joy!
'A temple?!'
'This is the temple of Lariro!'
'The second straight line has been found!'
Thinking this, Qiu Tu didn't even care what La Riluo was doing, but directly sensed the location of the regional central hub!
Northeast!
It was still a very clear sensation. And enough for Qiu Tu to draw two straight lines and locate the central area!
Just as Qiu Tu was thinking this, the memory slowly ended, and when Qiu Tu came to his senses, he found himself back in the real world.
After putting on a bathrobe, Qiu Tu left the bathroom and headed straight for the study.
Upon arriving at the study, Qiu Tu took out the "Ghostly Map"!
The New Territories area is very large, almost the size of six or seven New Territories cities.
So even though Qiu Tu rode the Emerald Dragon for eight hours yesterday to survey the area, only a small part of the "Ghostly Map" was completed.
But! That's enough for Qiu Tu!
Because the places he surveyed happened to include the stream bathing spot and the Lariro Temple that he had visited before!
So, Qiu Tu excitedly took out a pen and, following the direction he sensed, drew two straight lines along those two locations!
The two straight lines intersect in the "unlit" part of the map, where only a hazy gray fog can be seen.
Qiu Tu gently touched it.
'So... this is where the regional central hub is located!'
Thinking this, Qiu Tu put away the ghost map and planned to ride the Emerald Shadow Dragon straight to that area when he got back tonight!
After making plans for tonight, Qiu Tu got up and left the study to check on Fang Tangtang's condition.
After seeing that Fang Tangtang's fever had indeed subsided and she was sound asleep, Qiu Tu left the villa with peace of mind...
