The sun on the horizon had completely set behind the hills.

The sky was dark at this moment, with lingering light being the afterglow of the blazing sun's descent.

On the rippling river surface, a sleek yacht docked at the shore.

Kane and his group disembarked one by one. Thanks to Kane's enhancements to the yacht's power, they arrived even earlier than Kane had anticipated.

However, the price was that Longbei was feeling a bit dizzy now.

It wasn't just Longbei; even Kreya's steps were wobbly as she came ashore, relying on Kane to stabilize herself and avoid falling.

More of this price, please and thank you.

Both Longbei and Kreya belong to land-dwelling races; neither of their races has much experience with water travel since ancient times.

It's in their genes to be less adapted to the sensation of being on water.

Coupled with the sudden increase in the yacht's speed, they found the fast water transit a bit unsettling.

Nonetheless, they are both strong in constitution, and after a brief rest, they recovered.

Lilulu was still sound asleep at this time, except now her sleeping position had shifted from Kreya's horse back to Kane's shoulder.

Kane turned his head to look at Lilulu's strange sleeping posture on his shoulder and couldn't help but sigh.

With her stomach and waist on Kane's shoulder and her legs and head drooping on either side, a bent shape—Kane wondered how on earth she fell asleep like this.

Is this kid a noodle?

Helplessly, Kane cradled Lilulu in his arms, as if holding a newborn baby.

Lilulu's head rested on Kane's shoulder, drooling contently in her sleep, wetting Kane's shoulder.

Feeling the wetness on his shoulder, Kane rolled his eyes. Once she wakes up, she must clean this up for me.

Kreya, following behind Kane, couldn't help but chuckle, covering her mouth at Lilulu's appearance.

It wasn't long on the short journey before Kane and his group returned safely to the Circular Restaurant.

At the reception by the entrance, two women of different races were still serving inside, still working even at night—this place seemed to be staffed 24 hours a day.

Kane had thought that coming back so late, they would find it closed and would have to return tomorrow for task submission and the next target draw.

Surprisingly, there were still people on duty, so naturally, they decided to complete their task now to avoid unnecessary hassle.

As Kane and his group approached, the girl on duty smiled—they recognized her as the one who had assisted them the first time they accepted a task.

Looking at Kane and his group, the receptionist smiled and asked, "Have you completed your mission objective?"

"Yes."

"Alright, then please hand me your task assignment sheet and the mission goal."

Hearing her words, Kane took out the task assignment sheet he had drawn earlier, whereas the mission goal resided in Lilulu's Fairy Tale World.

Seeing Lilulu still sound asleep on his shoulder, Kane had no reservations about knocking on her head.

But just as Kane was about to tap it, Lilulu, still sleeping, vanished in a golden flash of light.

She suddenly appeared back on Kreya's horse, rubbing her sleep-groggy eyes.

Yawning, she asked Kane, "Nasty Kane, why interrupt Lilulu's sleep?"

"We're submitting the task, you sleep like a pig."

Upon hearing Kane's words, Lilulu fluttered her wings and observed their surroundings, realizing they were back at the Circular Restaurant.

"Ah, we're back already?" Lilulu had fallen asleep before leaving the Giant Forest, only to awaken straight home.

"Hehe," seeing Kane's gaze, Lilulu scratched her head awkwardly and smiled, then quickly opened a rainbow-colored teleportation gate, from which she pulled out a transparent iron box containing a Golden Slime.

The receptionist took the Golden Slime and, after inspecting it for a moment, nodded.

The parchment-like task sheet then disappeared into specks of light.

"So, are you all planning to rest, or will you take on the next level task?"

It wasn't a difficult question; of course, they would take on the next level task first.

This time, it was Lilulu's turn to draw.

After drawing the next target, Kane and his group returned directly to their resting inn.

Everyone freshened up in their respective rooms, clearing away the fatigue of the past few days, and then gathered in the living room.

"Ah, I'm a bit hungry," Longbei suddenly said.

Hearing Longbei, Kane and the others realized their own hunger, and they sat down at the dining table.

Last time they returned, they discovered this dining table's new function.

Kane extended a finger and tapped it on the dining table, then a trace of magic power surged into the table.

Since this room was prepared for explorers, the table required a trace of magic power to activate.

As the magic power activated, a menu appeared, constructed with magic power, floating above the table.

Today's dishes were on it, and you only needed to click to place an order.

To be honest, Kane was genuinely shocked when he saw this feature at the time.

Between the cities here, due to various customs and atmospheric differences, styles vary greatly, including the application of magic.

For example, the first large city Kane visited, Lion City, was extremely developed in various magical industries, yet had a multitude of magic-powered vehicles, even middle-class people owned personal vehicles, reminiscent of the industrial revolution of the past world.

Then there were several significant cities and royal capitals of different countries, where you felt as if you'd returned to the Middle Ages, with even streetlights missing, yet the use of magic in higher layers was incredibly exaggerated.

Places like Furnace Castle, where the equipment powered by various magic was extremely rare.

Now, the City of Gastronomy brought him an entirely new sensation; beneath its ancient and traditional appearance lay highly advanced magical technology.

Knowledge, magic, and power brought by the dungeon, as well as alien races, were pushing this world increasingly toward a melting pot.

But it was exactly this melting pot that kept people endlessly curious about this world, as each city, each kingdom, and each region offered experiences and insights never had before.

Gathering his thoughts, after Kane and they each selected their favorite dishes, within a minute, a teleportation array appeared on the table, followed by a chime.

Their previously ordered dishes appeared directly on the table, still steaming hot.

No wonder it's the city known for tourism worldwide, achieving top-tier convenience and service.

While eating, Kane opened the commission slip Lilu had just drawn and started to check.

On the top of the commission slip, the prominent writing was to hunt, indicating that the target this time only needed the corpse.

In the middle of the parchment was a drawing of a fish resembling a porcupine fish.

A spherical body like it was inflated, round bulging eyes, a round mouth, covered in spikes on its body, with tiny fins on both sides, and a long, flat tail.

So next time, was Kane and their target the creatures in the Sweet River connecting the entire dungeon?

This was Kane's first thought upon seeing the picture, this time the target was named Drifting Porpoise.

"Youyou, check the illustration of the Floating Porpoise Fish."

Kane took a bite of the leg of meat in his hand and said to Youyou, who was playing with Cotton Candy beside him.

Upon hearing his master's voice, Youyou immediately turned around, and a blue light shot from his eyes, projecting the illustration information onto the central table of Kane and them.

Thus, Kreya and others could clearly see the illustration information.

They likewise ate their food while looking up at the central illustration.

Kane carefully examined the illustration information, completely contrary to his imagination. Indeed, in such a dungeon, common sense couldn't be applied to anything.

This porcupine fish was not a creature of the river but could fly like a bird, almost never landing, living in the air.

Rated as three-star difficulty for capture was not because its strength was formidable, the Floating Porpoise Fish was almost non-aggressive, confronting enemies only by making its spikes longer, defending against attacks, with very painful neurotoxins on the spikes.

The three-star difficulty rating was due to them always floating in the air, almost never landing, and the explorer had to float for long periods in the air to capture them.

Moreover, the region the Floating Porpoise Fish resided in was a relatively dangerous sky area, besides Floating Porpoise Fish, there were many other powerful flying creatures.

So if the explorer's flying ability was not strong, or unable to counterattack and evade in the air, drawing such a task almost announced dungeon failure.

However, upon seeing the illustration information of the Floating Porpoise Fish, Kane and they did not find it particularly difficult or unlucky.

After all, they had Cotton Candy, which now could pull them all up and float freely in the air without any issues.

Cotton Candy now could transform into the largest size, extremely vast, could occupy the entire living room where Kane and they were.

So there was no issue with Kane and them attacking from Cotton Candy.

The only regret might be if there's more people on Cotton Candy, its flying speed would decrease, the more people, the slower it would fly.

It's not that Kane and their weight caused pressure on Cotton Candy.

But Cotton Candy, if there was any object on it, could not freely transform into a mist form to support the object.

Thus, its speed would naturally be greatly reduced, could only gather white clouds into solid form.

However, according to the illustration information, the Floating Porpoise Fish's flying speed itself wasn't fast, plus if Kane entered demigod form the flying speed was acceptable, if willing to consume more magic power it could be even faster.

If it didn't work, Kane could also use the combination of origin skills and spider silk, allowing Kane to swing quickly in the air, with no problem.

With various skills complementing, Kane could handle most situations.

The multi-faceted setup was where it was vividly demonstrated at this moment.

But since it's getting late now, it's better to rest well; tomorrow's matters can be talked about tomorrow.
