After finishing these tasks, Su Xi browsed the news on the game forum for a while.
There are many strange news stories, but they are mostly lighthearted. Unlike the chaotic and violent forum in my previous life, this life is much more harmonious.
However, to Su Xi's slight embarrassment, she had only been in this town for a short time when news about her appearance in the initial city began to appear one after another on the game forum.
"I'm starting to understand what it's like when a superstar makes their entrance," Su Xi remarked as she scrolled through the forum on her bed.
When she was a student, about 14 years ago, whenever a very famous celebrity appeared in Yangcheng, her classmates would excitedly talk about that celebrity the next day.
Back then, when she was still Su Jiang, she just buried herself in her books every day and didn't understand why her classmates would idolize someone so much. Now, she herself has become the one being idolized.
The flowers bloom the same every year, but the people are different year after year.
A short while later, Nymph returned.
After using copper and silver stones to upgrade their equipment and enhance some of their skills, the two returned to the real world.
"Huh? You actually split Nymph into two?" Mavis, who was sitting cross-legged in front of the projector, said in surprise when she saw the two people who appeared in the room.
Su Xi asked curiously, "Otherwise, who do you think I would split off from?"
"I didn't think so, too lazy to think about it." Mavis yawned and turned her attention back to the virtual projection and the model of the illusory Earth, carefully building and refining them.
"You've made a mistake here, the model isn't quite right," Nymph pointed out the error in Mavis's construction.
As an electronic warfare angel, Nymph possesses formidable observation and analytical abilities.
Mavis looked at Nymph thoughtfully, then exclaimed with delight, "No, splitting you off was actually a great thing the original body did! You're the chosen worker, Nymph!"
Nymph: "???"
"Can't you use that overclocking or Aphrodite system to hack in? Hurry up and hack into me, help me build a model of Earth!" Mavis said with a look of ecstatic joy.
Nymph: "... No, using that skill in real life will force me into a forced cooldown mode."
"Fou, give it a try! Look at me, I'm exhausted from working on this, and I haven't accomplished much in a day! Anyway, the cooldown mode will only make you sleep for a few days." Mavis quickly hugged Nymph's leg and rolled around with her.
Nymph sighed and rubbed her forehead in exasperation, "Fine..."
[Aphrrodite]!
With the skill activated, Nymph instantly transformed into her grown-up form, and her originally small, transparent wings instantly turned into a pair of enormous, transparent butterfly wings.

Azure eyes looked at Mavis, and several translucent blue dotted lines connected to Mavis.
"Oh! That's the feeling! I've been enhanced!" Mavis exclaimed excitedly, looking at Nymph with anticipation.
Nymph: "... Move."
Mavis: "?"
"Can't you do it for me?"
Nymph nearly choked on her breath, wanting to kick Mavis's butt hard, but laughed in exasperation, "You don't have the Pandora System, how can I control you and help you finish your homework? Hurry up, I can only help you as an assistant, do you know what an assistant is?! It means I give you a blender system, but you still have to operate it yourself!"
"Ah..." Mavis visibly lost her energy and said, "Even with the Blender system, it only increases the modeling speed a little."
It means, you're not as useful as I imagined.
Nymph was so angry she almost vomited blood, and sneered, "Use it or not, it's up to you."
Su Xi: "..."
Ignoring the two's playful banter, Su Xi sat down on the sofa with a very serious expression, facing Elysia was drinking tea.
"What's wrong? Why are you so serious?"
Elysia, holding her teacup, felt someone's gaze and withdrew her amused look, instead glancing at Su Xi with a puzzled expression.
"My dear Miss Elysia, is there anything else you haven't told me?"
Elysia crossed her legs, leaned back on the sofa, striking a languid pose, and looked utterly bewildered, saying, "What else could I possibly be hiding from you?"
After he finished speaking, he took a sip of tea.
"... You really don't know? Since you were born from human consciousness, haven't you ever noticed that there are many unusual beings among so many humans?"
"Unusual?" Elysia looked thoughtful, then said, "Since you've said so much, can it still be called unusual?"
Su Xi choked.
That seems to make sense.
If there were too many immortals coming to Earth to experience the mortal world, Elysia might not be able to tell them apart.
Moreover, those who come here for training have no original memories; at most, they only possess some instinctive actions formed after long-term cultivation. Even if Elysia knew these things, she would probably still think that cultivation is just one of humanity's fantasies.
"What exactly happened?"
"Hmm... let me finish asking this question first." Su Xi stopped Elysia's curiosity and asked, "What exactly is that Space-Time Vortex you're talking about, and what is that sea that leads to the Space-Time Vortex?"
"Space-Time Vortex... uh? Is there a problem with that? I set up that place so that people who go in will encounter their future selves. In fact, this future self will at most be twice as strong in attributes, so there shouldn't be anything special about it, right?" Elysia thought for a moment and said.
Su Xi: "No, I think there's something wrong with your setup in some way."
Su Xi's past work experience has taught her that if someone is unaware of where the problem lies, there is definitely a huge conceptual problem hidden within it. Unless this problem is brought to the surface, the person will never realize it.
A person who grows up in a special environment due to their upbringing and learning will have some personality flaws. These flaws are normal in those environments, but once they are moved to another environment, what they consider normal behavior will be seen as very abnormal by others.
A simple example is that if you grew up in the KK Industrial Park, you would think that lying is a very normal behavior; if you were the son of a capitalist, you would think that exploiting workers is a very normal behavior.
Su Xi asked Elysia to explain in detail the steps she took to create the product, intending to find out where Elysia's problem lay.
This kind of debugging work happened quite often when Su Xi was a programmer, and she habitually used the same methods she had done before.
