Faced with everyone's attention, Sherry was momentarily stunned, then came to her senses: "But I know sleight of hand!"
With those words, she waved her hand, and a cloud of frost gathered in front of her! Then, she clapped her hands, and the frost disappeared, revealing a white tulip in her hand!
The crowd erupted in astonishment!
Chun was directly dumbfounded! Is this sleight of hand? She just used the frost to obscure the view and then pulled a flower out of her sleeve to amuse children, right?
Bilenna laughed on the spot: "You're really too funny, sure, sure, you can be my follower."
Holy Shit! Chun felt that she was just being difficult: "You did that on purpose!"
But Sherry immediately bowed: "It is my honor to be a tutor's follower!"
Aileen laughed: "You see, your president is very willing!"
So you're deliberately making fun of the president, huh? Well, Sherry must be on a mission. After all, they're all insiders, better than having someone unknown nearby. And I do want to keep an eye on Sherry's activities.
The next steps were registration, arranging accommodations, and so on.
Once registered, it turned out they had quite the open and significant background, almost all the noble houses in the city sent people to learn!
Are they here to investigate Bilenna's power, the Secret Iron mine, or perhaps both?
Besides occasionally teasing Sherry, Bilenna didn't focus much on Amy. So it seems they deliberately used Sherry for distraction, to cover up attention on Amy...
For Chun, already having his influences in the Southern Canyon Village, North Port Fishing Village, and Iron Flame Village, the next step is to turn these influences into control... or to be precise, influence.
Influence is quite a peculiar experience. It doesn't account for the player's strength as there's no distinct subordinate relationship that the system can rank, yet it can operate.
After signing up, it was time to check the basics at the village square, female players were excluded, obviously triggering an event.
But it made the already small village seem more crowded. A bunch of royal family officials took the opportunity to boo the village head, demanding that the village expand, construct a professional dance theater, and even launch a grand plan to upgrade to a town.
Chun thought their suggestion was pretty good. As long as functional buildings like the dance hall were well built, even if the outside area seemed small, inside could expand to accommodate a few thousand people dancing at the same time. Just like how inns can accommodate tens of thousands of players.
As a result, everyone's dance skills during the square dance test were professional, while Sherry and Amy were left behind...
Honestly, Chun wanted to laugh. How did Fafnir dare to send Sherry here? So, the more noticeable you are, the less suspicion you draw?
Bilenna declared to all the professional learners: "Your foundations are all wrong! You won't become a Dancing Girl using your methods, let's start over with me..."
The students were in an uproar!
Chun was really shocked by her, this is basically an open confrontation with the dance circle!
Fortunately, Sherry and Amy were finally pulled onto the same starting line.
The subsequent rehearsals were a bit boring, but still better than setting sail. Chun kept a constant eye on things, noting that Amy was impressively adaptable, quickly catching up with progress. But Sherry... if it's not working, it's just not working, pulling the entire class down as the bottom.
Bilenna was really determined: "Look at you..."
Sherry however was undaunted: "Teacher, I will work hard!"
Chun was anxious: "Aileen, have some heart!"
Aileen scoffed: "Do you want to see her in dance dresses? I'll recommend the skimpiest Bohemian dance dress for her..."
Uh... uh?
Aileen snorted coldly: "So if you want to see, I'll intensify her training, so you better not chatter."
Actually, I don't want to see! Well, alright, not seeing is wasted, so no more chattering.
...
5 AM, it's about to turn dark in the game.
Aziza Siren was just about rested. Even though Chun took a glance in the mirror midway, he basically sailed the boat all night, hoping to see them arrive.
Aziza once again took the helm: "I'll take over, you go rest."
Uh… no need for handshake this time? Well, too deliberate isn't good either.
Chun took another look at his clone's small account, the Little Giants continued to break the Crystal Stone Pillars. However, the exceptionally nutrient-rich pillars around the Magma Lake had gone, so they purposely moved to other locations, making a long trip to transport them back.
Earth Lotus called out: "Father, you're here, the first batch of Purple Crystal Fish have started laying eggs in the fish nest! They are little purple beads, very beautiful."
Chun was genuinely shocked: "Can they reproduce so fast?"
"I'm just as surprised, but I believe very soon, the lake will be teeming with Purple Crystal Fish!"
Chun advised: "Make sure to observe and study carefully, let the kids handle the nest building, observing is the key, you'll gain professional Breeding Skill."
Breeding and mining are both specialized production skills, just like Sherry's flower shop for flower care. And various pig and chicken farming.
"Understood. Actually, Uncle Dibilon also wants to raise Crystal Stone Fish at the Divine Pool in the cave. We can choose the best Purple Crystal Fish to raise there."
Chun was excited: "Can we also build a fish nest in the Divine Pool?"
Earth Lotus said: "I think, when our Construction Technique is upgraded, perhaps we can build one."
Chun was very pleased: "Exactly, only the finest Construction Technique and best fish types are worthy of the Divine Pool..."
Even though up until now, we still don't know what use the Purple Crystal Fish have.
In conclusion, Chun didn't disturb Earth Lotus any further, leaving her to manage things.
Switching back to the main account, it's already dark, the strange sounds from last night returned over the sea.
Another night of silence, avoiding talking, and keeping the lights off.
Almost dawn, time to log off and go for breakfast.
...
Chun tidied his hairstyle, wiped his greasy face, then headed downstairs.
The greats greeted: "Morning, Brother Chun!"
"Brother Chun, good news, Bilenna is now officially a village official, inn manager, and Black Iron City's nobles are sending NPCs to become disciples!"
Though previously Chun deliberately kept a low profile, trying to downplay his relationship with Bilenna. But everyone globally believed his number 11 was associated with her, so he simply didn't hide it anymore.
Chun was quite gratified: "Great, does this mean they need to repay their debt?"
"I'm afraid that's difficult to say..."
Just then, the barmaid came over and asked: "Sir... um, Mr. Ding, will you be going out for breakfast?"
Chun was taken aback: "Yes!"
The barmaid was a bit nervous and shy: "Well, could you bring back two takeaway breakfasts?"
Such a strange request?
Chun was stunned: "Two servings?"
The barmaid nodded nervously: "Yes, Mr. Ding, I'll pay you back when you return, just pack whatever you eat."
Today felt a bit off. But—
Chun smiled: "Sure, I'll pack some and get back early."
