Traveling with Elysia: Pre-Civilization-era Changkong City (Continued)

She had always thought that Vostok Town was the whole world. She had never seen a brightly lit, modern city before. Now, watching the lights of thousands of homes gather under the night sky, sparkling as if turning the earth into a starry sky, she was amazed.

Elysia was deeply moved.

"Haha~ Hahahaha~! So beautiful, Bai Ge, the outside world is really amazing! Is this the city described in the book? Can we spend the night there tonight?"

Elysia held Bai Ge's hand with one hand and pointed to the city in front of them with the other. The girl's eyes sparkled, as if she had found her dream Elysian Realm.

"Of course we should go to the city to spend the night. We've been traveling all day, so we should have a good meal tonight, then get a good night's sleep, and continue our journey tomorrow."

Bai Ge raised his hand and patted Elysia's head to soothe the Pink Fairy's excited emotions.

At the same time, he couldn't help but feel moved. After more than three years, he saw a modern city again. Looking at the endless skyscrapers and sea of lights, he felt the charm of civilization.

"Okay! Let's get going!"

Elysia cheered and pulled him along as they ran towards the city.

If Celia were here, she would be speechless with astonishment.

The destination she had arranged for the two of them was reached on the very first day, which shows that, as mentioned before, the map was indeed far too small for Bai Ge and Elysia.

Once inside the city, Elysia was so overwhelmed by the vibrant and colorful night market that she was completely at a loss for what to do.

For her, who has never left her small town since birth, this place called the city is too glamorous, and she needs some time to adapt.

Fortunately, Bai Ge is still quite reliable.

"Hmm, looking at it this way, it's not much different from the Current Civilization. Let's find a hotel for tonight, then find a good restaurant, explore the city properly tomorrow, and then decide where to go next."

"Huh? Oh! Okay, I'll listen to Bai Ge!"

Elysia's eyes turned into beady eyes. Although she didn't quite understand what she was hearing, she was deeply shocked.

At the same time, he developed a deep respect for Bai Ge.

Compared to her own shock and bewilderment, the boy in front of her was so calm and composed, as if he had just come home. He was just too reliable!

"There are so many people in the city! This street is so much more lively than the whole town combined! It's wonderful!"

"That's true, but that's why you have to stick close to me, Aili. Otherwise, if we get lost in this vast sea of people... we might have to say goodbye forever."

"Hey! Bai Ge, don't scare me!"

Elysia turned pale with fright at his words and quickly gripped Bai Ge's hand even tighter.

Then, like a pink tail, she followed closely behind Bai Ge, looking up at the dazzling city, exclaiming in amazement.

The two found a small hotel to stay in. Since travel expenses were important and they wanted to save money, they only booked a single room.

As for dinner...

Bai Ge: "Let's try something a little different."

Even in the Previous Civilization, there were hamburgers and fries. Upon seeing the golden letter M, Bai Ge didn't hesitate and pulled Elysia inside to order a set meal.

The Pink Fairy, who was eating hamburgers, fries, and cola for the first time, felt as if a new world had been opened up for her, and ate three hamburgers and two cola in one go.

Bai Ge couldn't help but feel a little worried. Thinking that Elysia's appetite was about half that of Kiana, he was a little concerned that this girl would turn into a pink pig in the future.

Well, a chubby Pink Fairy could be quite cute, after all, she has her own powers, so her figure is never a problem.

As the day of the trip came to an end.

Bai Ge and Elysia lay on a single bed. The former was glad that in the Previous Civilization, checking into a hotel did not require an ID card, while the latter was still immersed in the excitement of today's trip and found it difficult to fall asleep.

"The outside world is so magnificent, there are so many things I've never seen before, I'm dazzled by them. The hamburger is so delicious, and the cola is so good too. I never knew this world was so wonderful."

"Aili, it's too early to be sentimental. This is only the first day of our journey. What we've seen today is just one ten-millionth of the world. There are many more sights waiting for you and me in the future."

"That's fantastic, Bai Ge! Let's go see what this world is really like."

"Of course, Aili, I will always be with you. We will travel all over the world together and see all the beautiful scenery."

"Um..."

Elysia felt her heart skip a beat. She stared at the person in front of her, but the next second she became somewhat dazed and her vision blurred.

Bai Ge used one hand to help her cover herself with the blanket.

Although she was still in high spirits, Elysia was still just a little girl. That day, they walked through a forest, crossed a mountain, and passed through two or three towns before finally arriving at the city.

My body was completely drained and I was utterly exhausted.

"Huff... huff... huff..."

A single bed was more than enough for Bai Ge and Elysia, but she still instinctively snuggled closer to Bai Ge, as if she could only sleep peacefully by smelling his scent.

"Goodnight, Aili," Bai Ge said softly, his eyelids drooping.

Although he has the aid of Honkai Energy and some of the powers of the Herrscher of Life and Death to enhance himself, Bai Ge is still essentially just a little boy at this moment.

He was really tired by the end of the day.

Looking at the adorable, angelic girl before him, Bai Ge instinctively lowered his head and snuggled closer to Elysia in his arms, inhaling the fragrance of her hair, before falling asleep as well.

Under the blanket, their hands were still clasped together. Even though the scenery along the way was beautiful, being alone would inevitably add a touch of loneliness.

But they are travel companions who will never be separated, and even in their dreams after falling asleep, they see each other.

If a certain ten-year-old Kiana traveling the world alone knew this, it would probably be incredibly envious...

(Kiana: "This is unfair! The difference in treatment between me and Elysia is too great!")

When the next day arrived, Bai Ge and Elysia woke up at noon. The fatigue from the first day had accumulated more than they had imagined, and they had inadvertently missed the check-out time.

But luckily they are cute.

After hearing about their situation, the hotel owner even kindly gave them a discount on their room rate.

Afterwards, Bai Ge and Elysia had another McDonald's burger meal and spent the afternoon strolling around this memorable first city.

Finally, at dusk, the two went to the train station and bought two train tickets for places they didn't know, but for destinations that were the furthest away.

Bai Ge: "Anyway, it doesn't matter where the destination is, what matters is the view outside the window."

Aili: "Bai Ge is right! Wow, what beautiful scenery! I want to go to every place in the world and remember all the beautiful sights forever!"

The setting sun seemed to burn the world with warm flames. Looking out the car window at the scenery bathed in dazzling crimson-gold light, Elysia widened her eyes to admire this beautiful world, completely captivated by it.

"Aili, human memory is a very unreliable thing. The past is like a picture drawn on the beach. As time goes by, it will be blown away by the sea breeze and washed away by the sea. So... this gift is for you."

Suddenly, Bai Ge pulled out a small box from somewhere and handed it to Elysia.

"Wow, Bai Ge, when did you prepare this? We've been together the whole time, but I didn't notice," Elysia asked in surprise.

"Well, that's probably when you're drawn to a flower by the roadside."

"Huh? Is that so? Okay, but next time I'll definitely prepare a gift when you're not looking! Just stay curious! Hehe~ Now let me see what it is?"

Elysia couldn't wait to open the box.

It turned out to be a sky-blue instant camera. (The same camera used on March 7th)

Because the camera was constructed from the Herrscher Authority of Reason, there was no instruction manual, and it was also the first time Elysia had ever seen a camera, so Bai Ge spent half a minute teaching her how to use it.

She immediately fell in love with it.

"My God! It can record the scenery in front of you with just one press? That's amazing! Is it some kind of magic?"

"Hehe~ With this, Aili, you can record all the scenery you don't want to forget. What do you think? Do you like it?"

"Mmm! I love it so much, thank you Bai Ge! Come on, let me take a good picture of you now!"

As Elysia spoke, she slightly increased the distance between herself and Bai Ge, and then, after searching left and right, she finally found the best angle to capture the boy's figure, which was shining brightly in the setting sun by the car window, forever.

Although the scenery outside the car window that passes by with time is much rarer than Bai Ge, who is always by your side.

But this was the first time she had ever taken a photo of someone else, and Elysia gave this memorable first time to Bai Ge without hesitation.

She then took a few pictures of herself, a few pictures of the two of them together, and finally pointed the camera out the window.

"Oh no, this setup might lead to..."

Bai Ge realized a problem at that moment.

Sure enough, Elysia came to his side pitifully a dozen minutes later and said dejectedly.

"Waaah, the photographic paper is all used up..."

"It's okay, I still have some, but try to use it sparingly."

"Um, I'll try my best..."

Elysia said rather insecurely that she was now obsessed with taking photos and her fingers just wouldn't stop.

Bai Ge felt he had made a mistake. He should have built a smart camera instead of choosing a Polaroid camera, which required consuming photographic paper, just because it was more romantic.

After all, Elysia has an eye for beauty, and consuming hundreds of photographic papers a day is a piece of cake. In the future, Bai Ge may become a ruthless photographic paper building machine.

(Hmm, I'll wait until I have another chance to build a smart camera and give it to her.)

A few minutes Elysia's photography skills had reached an expert level; it just goes to show that women are born photographers.

"The camera Bai Ge gave me is so nice!"

She looked at the photos in her hand and smiled broadly.
