The Weaver of the Wind

“Is [Wind Weaver] good at knitting sweaters?”

“Yes. She often weaves the wind into solid ropes for climbing or binding, so knitting a sweater is naturally not a problem.”

“Okay, I’ll go find her right now.”

“Don’t, I’ll help you find her. If I can’t, I’ll ask the president to help you. If you go by yourself, it’s easy to cause hostility.”

“What’s the difference? Is Dawn hard to talk to?”

“Dawn is relatively easy to talk to, but she is partners with Cassan, the Fourth Seat. How should I put it, Cassan is a little bit easily jealous.”

“What is this?” Chen Miemie didn’t understand at all.

“Cassan will be hostile to any man who gets close to Dawn.”

Hearing that there was gossip, Chen Miemie immediately became energetic: “How to say, are they that kind of relationship?”

“I don’t know the specifics. Cassan’s public statement is that if she doesn’t get married, Dawn is not allowed to get married either.”

“Hehe, there’s a problem, isn’t it? It’s still better for us like this. Men and women working together, the work is not tiring.”

“People like us are in the absolute minority in the mystical circle. Usually, partners are of the same sex.”

“Why?”

“Because long-term contact between opposite-sex partners who trust each other easily leads to lust. In many critical moments that require reason, acting on emotion will prevent timely damage control.”

Chen Miemie patted his chest and promised: “Don’t worry, I won’t act on emotion at critical moments.”

Xi nodded: “That’s good.”

Chen Miemie: “I act on emotion even in normal times.”

Having a society is really different.

Coming down from the second floor, Chen Miemie also found a small bulletin board.

It was posted with some recent major events.

You must know that there are no newspapers or the like in Sixiang City. These are all firsthand intelligence sources.

"Sun and Moon Church Renovation Nearing Completion, Will Soon Reopen to Visitors"

"Strange [Labyrinth Elf] Appeared in the North of the City, Lethality Far Exceeds Ghost Walls"

"Chicken Farm Caught Fire, Fried Chicken or Supply Difficulties in the City?"

"Fog Appeared Outside the City for Three Consecutive Days, Intercity Logistics Temporarily Interrupted"

"Security Companies Frequently Fail, Over Half of Merchants Express Difficulty Trusting Them Again"

Chen Miemie didn’t find anything related to himself, took two glances, and left.

Taking the sedan chair, he quickly returned home.

The next short-term tasks, besides finding a teacher, were to break through and advance.

After continuously contracting Loop and the sedan chair, Chen Miemie’s [Mystery] had reached 1.99 and needed a breakthrough.

The two breakthroughs from 1 to 2 and from 2 to 3 were relatively easy.

All that was needed was to walk into the fog again, kill the anomalies, and get the special materials they dropped.

The reason it was simple was that there were no restrictions on the materials needed for these two breakthroughs. They could be any materials, and there was no such thing as a breakthrough failure.

Therefore, as long as one graduated successfully, joined a society, did more tasks to accumulate wealth, followed the society’s collective hunts a few times, and picked up materials that everyone else didn’t need twice, everyone could smoothly advance to [Mystery] 3 and get a code name.

But the breakthroughs from 3 to 4 and onwards required materials unique to one's own [Mystery], which could be said to be something that could be encountered but not sought.

And forcibly advancing using materials with insufficient adaptability carried the risk of failure.

Previously, [Nanjun] of the [Nanjun Society] used a material with 75% adaptability, had bad luck, and damaged his foundation after failing.

Chen Miemie came to 1805 again and knocked on Clown’s door.

Clown’s routine was surprisingly regular.

No one knew what he went out to do during the day, but he definitely wouldn’t be at home.

Every night, as long as you came to look for him, he would be at home.

“Going to your place?” Clown saw Chen Miemie and still had no intention of inviting him in as a guest.

“No need, I just want to ask two questions. How did [Chef] know you lived here?”

“I don’t know either. Actually, I was quite surprised that [Chef] could find this place that day.”

“Who else knows where you live?”

“Logically speaking, there shouldn’t be anyone. No one was living on this floor originally. I found a room and moved in by myself.”

“Is it possible that you were followed when you went home?”

“Those who dared to follow me are all dead.”

“The driver in 1801, did he come earlier or later than you?”

“I came half a year ago. At that time, 1801 was still empty. Later, three months ago, I saw him for the first time. I’ve only seen him 3 times in total.”

“You didn’t play games with him?”

“I took off one of his little fingers, but he didn’t seem to care. Being able to stay, he also has some skills.”

“Okay, then you rest.”

Chen Miemie returned to his own 1803.

As soon as he entered the door.

There were two nurses on the sofa.

One with yellow curly hair, one with long straight black hair.

“Loop, you... what is this?”

“Oh, it was a little boring being at home alone, so I played with myself. I’ll let her go back later.”

“Oh.” Chen Miemie was still thinking about things and didn’t realize the seriousness of the matter.

Unexpectedly, when he came out of the bathroom after taking a shower.

One of the Loops had become a corpse.

“This is what you meant by ‘go back’!”

Loop nodded: “All of me do not exist in death, just returning to the loop.”

Chen Miemie’s head hurt. This was in the city, and disposing of a corpse was a very troublesome matter.

Qinghua walked over and waved her hand.

A pile of broken porcelain appeared on the ground.

Chen Miemie looked at these two anomalies, a little confused as to why their coordination methods were so skilled.

Bobo snorted coldly: “Two idiots. If it turned into a roast chicken while it was alive, wouldn’t it be easier to deal with than a big box of porcelain?”

Loop suddenly realized: “That’s right, next time eat roast chicken.”

Chen Miemie didn’t dare to let the anomalies chat more, for fear that they would have a sudden inspiration and come up with some even more sensational ideas, and quickly changed the subject.

“Loop, when you are at home, help me keep an eye on the driver in 1801. He doesn’t make a sound all day and is harder to encounter than Clown. It’s a bit abnormal.”

“Got it.”

Because he slept too long during his afternoon nap, Chen Miemie wasn’t sleepy at all.

So he pulled Qinghua and Loop to play cards.

Chen Miemie taught Qinghua and Loop to play Fight the Landlord, and the three of them had a great time playing.

Bobo couldn’t play, but it could be considered participating. It ran around the three of them, helping this one for a moment, then helping that one, jumping up and down busily.

The final loser was forced to eat two big chicken legs before going to bed.

It wasn't until very late that Chen Miemie fell asleep, and the entire Room 1803 immediately fell into absolute silence. The whole room seemed to have fallen asleep.

Waking up the next day, there was a new message on the watch.

Time: 9:10

Sender: [Painter] Xi

Content: Contact me as soon as you wake up. Let's go visit the sick together. Whether the apprenticeship can be successful depends on this.

Chen Miemie immediately contacted Xi and said he would set off right away to pick her up.

Xi lived in the Qingfeng Building in the East District of Sixiang City.

When Chen Miemie arrived, Xi was already waiting for him downstairs.

Today, Xi’s dress had changed from a cold and gorgeous style to a playful cowboy style, wearing a small scarf, like a painter going out to sketch.

If Chen Miemie was pleasantly surprised.

Xi’s eyes widened and she almost screamed.

Chen Miemie said he would come to pick her up, but who would have thought that he would actually use a sedan chair to pick her up!

She had ridden in every kind of vehicle imaginable, but taking a sedan chair was truly a first in her life.

"Xi, don't just stand there, hurry up and get in. We can squeeze together, it'll be quick."

Seeing that the curious onlookers were starting to gather around, Xi quickly jogged a couple of steps and slipped into the sedan chair.

The seating space inside was quite large. Neither Chen Miemie nor Xi was heavy, so they didn't actually have to squeeze at all.

Xi found the experience very novel after getting in, especially the windows. In this world, regular cars were like sealed tin cans; she had never seen such large, square windows before.

"The view outside is amazing."

"It is. But in your message you said we were going to visit the sick. Are we going to the [hospital]?"

"No, to the East District Clinic. We really are visiting a patient."

"Visiting who?"

"Kaveh. Cassan's younger brother."

"You mean..."

"Whether you can successfully become an apprentice to Dawn depends entirely on whether you can win over your 'master's wife' Cassan today."
