The room was filled with tinkling noises, and it finally became quiet after five consecutive sounds of heavy objects colliding.
I felt the mercury lamp in my arms arch my body, and my soft little body stuck out a little head from underneath: "You stupid human being! Why are you hugging me so suddenly?"
The voice was filled with 70% anger and 30% happiness. It seemed that my subconscious action just now had successfully gained a lot of favorability points. If before, I had given the other party a bear hug without their consent: This little girl would have been a long time ago.
A carotid steel tooth penetrating blow came over.
"Hey - you guys are really deadly." I let go of the soft little body under my arm with a little embarrassment. As soon as I raised my hand, I suddenly felt a throbbing on my back. Although I was not injured, the box of the Rose Girls
The horns are really hard. If an ordinary person received such a beating, they would probably need hospice care at this time. "Especially you! The Emerald Star Stone! Have you ever aimed at someone's tailbone and hit it?! Don't act stupid, yours
I’ve already put a label on the box!”
"Anyway, the mercury lamp said that you can't be killed!"
The doll girl with red and green eyes gave up her disguise, pushed open her box and spoke confidently.
The culprit next to him immediately got under the quilt: "I'm sleeping!"
We suddenly felt that we might have gone too far in our normal training. Do you think that the good chairman has now turned into such a troublesome and troublesome girl?
I waved my hand and asked a group of doll girls who were up late at night to put their respective packaging boxes and charging sockets in the corner. I looked seriously at the circle of little heads around me. The mercury lamp next to me was still embedded in my quilt.
He exposed the upper half of his face and looked at me arrogantly.
"Tell me, what's going on? You stayed up in the middle of the night, and even Zhenhong joined in the fun. You must be in trouble, right?"
Sure enough, as I finished speaking, a circle of little heads turned their faces or lowered their heads, looking embarrassed, while the mercury lamp continued to crawl back into the quilt to show that it had fallen asleep.
"Ahem, actually...it's Sister Shuiyin Deng who has something wrong, but she's too embarrassed to say it."
After a long time, everyone remained silent. Cang Xingshi, the only conscientious member of the Rose Maidens, finally decided to step forward. The troubled doll girl looked at the big bulge on the quilt: "She has something to give you."
"Huh?" I blinked in confusion and stretched out my hand to pull the mercury lamp out of the quilt. At that time, everyone heard a "click" in their ears. I continued to pull out without changing my expression, but the mercury lamp bit my hand and was dragged out.
, I definitely learned this trick from Dingdang!
Seeing that the mercury lamp, which is usually mature and steady, even a bit like a royal sister or a queen, even did such an off-line thing unconsciously, I can see some clues: tonight the little lamp seems to be particularly lively and in a good mood.
What's weird, not only leading his sisters to be naughty, but also uncharacteristically taking the initiative to act coquettish and cute with me (although the method is a bit unique). This is definitely not the character of this arrogant guy. Based on the experience of getting along with him all the time.
, there is only one possibility for the mercury lamp to behave abnormally like this: she was very nervous and excited, and as a result, her behavior was a little out of control.
Yes, this experience is another victory for dad.
"Girl, do you have something for me?"
I waved my hand gently and watched the mercury lamp swaying in the air twice in response to my movements. As the other rose girls looked at my strong sister's cuteness with horrified expressions, I asked in a funny way.
This girl doesn't even know what she is doing. As the training... ahem, education deepens, she becomes more and more childish?
"Pfft~~", the doll girl finally realized that she couldn't speak at all like this, so she finally let go of her mouth, and then turned her head with a deliberately impressive look: "Humph, I just found something interesting while shopping. I bought it.
Come back... to open your eyes! Usually you buy me gifts, but today it’s even!"
Okay, okay, I've switched into tsundere mode again, Mercury Lamp, why are you going on a rampage tonight... Uh what?! A gift!?
I was just halfway through the sigh in my heart when I finally realized what the mercury lamp meant. How dare this arrogant and unceremonious doll actually buy myself a gift today?
After I confirmed the news, I was immediately shocked. Then I reached out and pinched Cuixingshi's little face and pinched it hard.
"Wow! It hurts!" the little doll immediately shouted.
"Okay, I'm not dreaming. Girl, did you buy me a gift?" With an overjoyed expression, I ignored Cuixingshi's punches and kicks, which were almost like massages, while I stuck the mercury lamp under my arm and followed
He lifted the other person up to his eyes like a child, and there was nothing but surprise in his heart - after all, my daughter has grown up and is sensible.
"Put me down! Put me down! You idiot! Idiot! Fool!"
The silver-haired goth girl who had always been very resistant to "lifting high" immediately squirmed and protested loudly. The half-missed little tiger teeth shone coldly in the moonlight, but to be honest, this kind of protest did not only give people a "Wow, this
Apart from impressions such as "The girl is so cute", there is no threat at all.
Zhenhong and the others were all dumbfounded at this time. As a generation that thrives in the shadow of the mercury lamp, when have these little dolls seen the mercury lamp, which always appears with a cold and collapsing image, showing such a side?
They had seen many earth-shaking changes in mercury lamps in the past few days, but the truly unbelievable behavior was when they were with a certain head of state.
The father and daughter played happily (?) for a while, and I finally put the doll girl down and looked at each other's big purple eyes with hope: "What good thing is this? Take it out and let me see it?"
The mercury lamp was obviously a little embarrassed, but after the diversionary slapstick, the little guy just glared at me and jumped to the ground with a thud, where he was about to be transformed by a bunch of "moms and dads"
The big boxes of the multi-functional mobile ocean view house are churning around: a set of space storage devices has recently been installed in it.
"That's it! Accept it respectfully with 120,000 gratitude!"
Holding up a one-foot-square box wrapped in wrapping paper, the doll girl said proudly.
Although the other party's tone was rude, I still took over this packaging box with great surprise and excitement, which was of extraordinary and even unprecedented significance. It was a one-foot-square box wrapped in beautiful colored cellophane. Although the color was bright,
But the crooked ribbon knot on it was obviously made by a pair of clumsy little hands that were not very skilled. Rose Girl's hands were too small, which not only made it difficult for her to learn to write, but also made it difficult to tie a package.
It took a lot of effort to untie the dead knot of the mercury lamp without damaging the packaging. I silently looked at... another box inside the box.
Okay, I get it, let me read that sentiment again.
It still took a lot of effort to untie the tight knot on the outside of the smaller box inside, and I began to feel sad about the third packaging box.
Well, in order to live up to that circle of bright eyes, I will continue to work hard.
The fourth box, which is so heart-breaking, comes into view.
"Humph, keep on unpacking, at the innermost place!" After unpacking the unknown number of boxes, the mercury lamp noticed that I had stopped what I was doing, and immediately gave me a rude look, snorted coldly, and said, "Yes.
It’s not that the item is too small, it won’t look good if you don’t wrap it in a few layers!”
I thought about it silently and decided to tell the other party the details: "This is the last box. Look - it's empty."
Mercury lamp: "..."
"Girl, actually...you forgot to put something in it."
I looked up at the ceiling and cried silently.
"Eh~?~! Impossible! You idiot must have made a mistake. You must have broken it!"
Xiao Deng was stunned for a long time, then suddenly burst out with a panicked cry, his face flushed, and then he suddenly lay on the bed, rummaging through a pile of messy wrapping paper and boxes, "No...no...still...
No! Stupid human being! Where the hell did you put that thing!"
Before I had time to explain, the voice from the other side suddenly rang: "It's in the box! You really forgot to put it in!"
I followed the sound, and sure enough, at some point, Chuberry slipped in front of the mercury lamp box and dug out something small that should have been in the packaging box.
"But... damn it! It's so hard to make such a big decision... Stupid human being! You should make yourself amnesia quickly, I will repackage it again!"
Give me some more reliable advice, stupid girl!
I have never seen such confusion with mercury lamps. I suddenly had a serious feeling of being killed by cuteness, but now is definitely not the time to dwell on this topic: mercury lamps are dangerous, you need to be careful when teasing, and you should be careful when teasing the rose girl.
Overdoing it can trigger an arterial attack.
"Let me see what this is."
Ignoring the desperate obstruction of a certain little doll that had been in constant trouble since the night, I took over the obedient young berry that should have been wrapped and packaged properly in theory, but was actually left behind by its clumsy owner.
Gifts outside.
It turns out that it is a small... compass?
I looked at the thing the size of a pocket watch in my hand in surprise. This delicate copper gadget looked just like a compass. It had a brass-colored spring cover with a crystal case underneath. The cover was engraved with precise patterns, and the pattern consisted of
Several symbols indicate that this is an alchemical product, but when I carefully observed the pointer under the crystal shell, I suddenly found that it was pointing to the northwest corner...
After changing its position several times, this unfortunate thing still pointed unswervingly at the northwest corner.
"Haha, do you think this is a compass?"
The mercury lamp burst out with a proud laugh, seeming to be extremely happy that the head of a super-civilized empire was frightened by a gadget created by alchemy. Then the little guy ran two steps on the bed and came to the other side of me.
, “Look now!”
I looked down and saw that the "compass" had changed direction and was now pointing to the northeast corner: the location of the mercury lamp.
The mercury lamp jumped back and forth on the bed, and the weird alchemy compass in my hand also changed directions everywhere. In the end, I had to stop the Rose Girl who was already interested in playing: "Okay, okay! If you keep jumping, I will throw up.
You should spit out the needles pointing at you!"
This is a historic moment. From now on, this wonderful gadget in my hand will be officially named a pointer: it only corresponds to mercury lamps.
"Where did you get it from?"
I curiously turned the gadget in my hand and looked at the pointer on it pointing consistently in the direction of the mercury lamp. I asked curiously.
"An alchemist who runs a stall at the night market." Mercury Lamp climbed along my arm to his special seat. "He has an unlucky face, but he didn't expect such a good thing."
"By the way, why is he studying this thing?"
I said casually while fiddling with the small gift from the mercury lamp in my hand.
"The alchemist claims to be a 'magic' inventor, who specializes in using alchemy to create novel mechanical equipment. He invented this kind of thing to find treasures, but there is one problem that has always troubled the inventor: for the compass to work
, you must first find the treasure, and then 'record' the treasure's coordinates on the compass, and this recording is one-time..."
I think I understand why, as a high-level intellectual, she came to Shadow City to set up a street stall.
"Actually, we bought a lot of things." Cuixingshi also became interested. He ran back to his box and started unpacking things. He looked like he was going to turn this evening into a treasure appraisal meeting. After a while, in the
With the help of a group of rose girls, my bed was filled with weird alchemical gadgets.
"Solar lamps that require light to glow, alarm clocks that require the user to manually press a button to sound, water-saving laundry tubs that clean clothes without using water - but require two liters of priceless magic water each time they are started.
It's a magical 'full' potion that makes you feel less hungry immediately after you eat it, but the side effects are severe diarrhea and vomiting five minutes later. It can charge ordinary glass into a magic accumulator that turns into a magic crystal. Well, at the same time
Consuming the energy of two magic crystals, the most novel thing is an alchemy platform that can print text. The way to use it is this: place a blank piece of paper on the left side of the platform, and then use a piece of paper on the right side.
When you write with a Mithril pen weighing one kilogram, this platform will automatically transfer the text to the white paper on the left..."
Pointing to a bunch of strange things on the bed, Zhen Hong introduced them to me one by one without changing his expression.
"That alchemist is a talent."
I nodded with sweat dripping from my eyes.
"He is indeed a talent. It is said that he used different names to deplete the treasury of three kingdoms in succession. He was discovered when he started to consume the fourth one. From that day on, the alchemist was known as the Artifact of Nation Destruction."
Zhenhong said halfway, and Canary on the other side took over: "But the alchemist was not executed. Now he is a strategic weapon. The king who successfully captured the alchemist announced to the entire continent who dares to invade.
If you send the 'Trickster Alchemist' to your own country, it is said that the king has promised not to use the alchemist first unless he is invaded..."
Well, now that you have gotten to this point, unknown alchemist classmate xxx, you can be considered a winner in life.
Under the moonlight, looking at the pile of painful inventions in front of me, any one of which might be carrying the blood and tears of a kingdom, I sighed silently for a long time. Such a weirdo has the courage to live. You said that I am only responsible for saving the world.
What's the reason for the heavy burden here, right?
At this moment, the mercury lamp suddenly knocked on my head. Because I successfully gave the gift, the little doll has now returned to its usual calmness and arrogance, but when she spoke, her voice seemed to be a little nervous.
: "Hey, stupid human, you haven't thanked me yet!"
It became clear at once: a certain arrogant chairman was asking for praise and other comments.
"Thanks."
In a very solemn tone, I put the "treasure hunter" in my hand back into my pocket, held the mercury lamp from my shoulder to my face, and said seriously.
"Ah! Why are you so serious all of a sudden? It's so disgusting!"
"Ahem, it's rare for me to be serious for a moment," I coughed twice awkwardly, I put the little doll girl on my chest and rubbed her head vigorously, "I like this gift very much, okay?
"
"Hey, you're just an idiot. I really thought someone was expecting your evaluation!" Mercury Lamp shook his head to avoid my big hand and said arrogantly.
"Okay, okay, I'm a fool. If you're not a fool, can you explain why this compass will record your information?" I suddenly thought of something, so I asked casually: the compass given to me by the mercury lamp has and only
The function of recording "treasure hunting spots" was used once, but this girl used it to record her own information. What does this mean? Never lose yourself?
"I just tested it when I bought it," the mercury lamp turned away and muttered, then flew to the corner and got into his mobile sea view box, "I want to sleep! No rolling on the bed! No!
There is something bothering you, do you know?"
"Yes Yes Yes--"
Just like dealing with a naughty daughter, I responded perfunctorily to the other party, only to be scolded angrily: "Idiot! Just say 'yes' once!"
With a "bang", the box was slammed shut, leaving me and a bunch of rose girls staring at each other.
"You are an amazing guy."
After a long silence, Zhenhong only left this comment.
"And he said it from a pervert."
Cuixingshi pinched his waist with one hand and pointed at my nose with the other. He leaned his upper body and said seriously, "However, I am not saying that I am a bad human being."
Being commented like this inexplicably, I felt a little confused as Monk Zhang Er, but luckily the remaining dolls were all well-behaved, Cang Xing Shi, Canary and Young Berry said good night to themselves.
Then we each packed up the treasures we purchased and went back to the boxes to sleep, leaving me with a silly smile on my face, having fun alone in the dark.
A gift, a gift of a mercury lamp. Although that stupid girl used an even stupider way to deal with her nervousness tonight, I have truly received this gift.
In every sense of the word, my own...education plan has been a great success.
