Upon hearing Mo Yi's theory of "friends," Alice was struck a blow and couldn't help but agree, realizing that her own politeness was inappropriate.

With the help of Mo Yi's Rune Magic, the matter was quickly resolved.

Then Mo Yi followed Alice to her room, which was her workshop. She often fell asleep in her workshop while researching doll magic, and rarely used her actual bedroom.

At first it was extremely narrow, barely wide enough for one person to pass through. After walking a few more steps, it suddenly opened up into a bright and spacious area.

Upon entering Alice's magic workshop, Mo Yi discovered that it was quite large, likely expanded using spatial magic.

What surprised Mo Yi even more was that compared to the number of dolls in the living room, this place had a massive number of dolls, densely packed together. In addition to finished dolls, there were also many semi-finished products, such as a doll arm or a head hanging on it.

Fortunately Mo Yi had nothing to fear anymore; these puppets were, after all, just carved from wood.

"Mo Yi— "

When Alice saw that Mo Yi's gaze was only filled with curiosity, her last bit of unease finally disappeared. After she brought Marisa in once, the other party never dared to come again, even knowing that she had left important Grimoire and magical items inside, she didn't want to come in and 'borrow them for a while'.

How are you feeling?

Looking at this world of puppets, Mo Yi nodded in admiration and said:

"It's very impressive—"

"I really can't imagine how you, Alice, managed to create so many dolls all by yourself and run such a big place. It must have taken a lot of effort."

Kiana, look at Alice's room, and then look at your own room. You can't even manage such a small space. You throw your socks and other things all over the place. Aren't you ashamed?

"This is actually not bad—"

Hearing Mo Yi's admiring tone, Alice felt a surge of warmth and gratitude at being recognized, and smiled awkwardly, saying, "This is my only hobby. I usually stay here to conduct research on puppet magic."

Of course, there are also unusual times, such as when I go out to work and earn money.

Being a mage has always been an expensive profession. If you want to do research, you need to consume materials. Without materials, you can't do any experiments.

Alice's doll magic consumes the most wood, since she lives in Magic Forest where wood is readily available. However, she cannot produce all the other parts or daily necessities herself.

That's why she goes to the Human Village to perform puppet shows or sell puppets with protective (physical) effects.

The other two famous Marisa Gensokyo, Marisa and Patchouli, are quite different.

Marisa's main ingredient is mushrooms, and besides that, she spends her days stealing, robbing, and swindling.

Patchouli from the Scarlet Devil Mansion is a super rich girl who owns a huge library; she's clearly Witch who comes from a wealthy family.

Alice lives alone in the Magic Forest, needs to go out and earn money. Of course, Alice enjoys it all, which is one of her little stubborn traits. (Alice's house is so wealthy that owning a mine isn't enough to make them rich.)

Alice walked slightly ahead of Mo Yi, turned back and smiled:

Let me introduce it to you.

Then, Mo Yi saw another Alice, who had a gentle smile on her face as she introduced Mo Yi to her workshop and dolls, as if she were talking about her proud children.

The Alice at this moment was completely different from the icy Alice Mo Yi had met before. Now, she was smiling easily and sweetly.

She explained each step in great detail, and also included some of her memories or anecdotes.

During this time, Mo Yi complained:

"Alice, you've made it so clear, aren't you afraid I'll steal your puppet magic?"

For magicians, knowledge and skills are as important as life itself. They must always hold back some knowledge when teaching apprentices, otherwise, what if they are betrayed by their apprentices after teaching all their disciples, and what will happen to their inheritance?

"Mo Yi, are you interested?"

Alice looked at Mo Yi with great anticipation after hearing his words.

Mo Yi: "..."

As an open-minded wandering mage who doesn't hold grudges against any particular school of thought, I really can't resist new knowledge, except for certain forbidden spells that require sacrificing others.

"Very interested—"

After hearing Mo Yi's answer, Alice happily pulled him along and said:

"Then let me explain it to you in detail."

Then, Alice dragged Mo Yi around explaining things to him, stuffing a huge amount of knowledge into his brain without repeating any of it. Fortunately, Mo Yi been trained by the Zilean Kiland's sea of questions, so he didn't completely lose his mind and drift off into a daze.

And so, the two of them, engrossed in teaching others and engrossed in taking notes, spent the night together.

Of course, even after explaining it all night, Alice couldn't possibly have taught Mo Yi all the puppet magic she had learned over the years. She had only given a brief overview of the process, and there were still many details that hadn't been explained.

Just like with the same advanced mathematics textbook, some people can get full marks while others only get 20 points. The current situation is probably that Alice recited the textbook to Mo Yi in one breath.

"It's dawn. Time really flies—"

Happy times are always pleasant.

When Alice was teaching Mo Yi gave Alice a lot of useful advice and inspiration based on another grand system of magic theory. Towards the end, it turned into a mutual discussion, with both of them taking notes of their thoughts in notebooks, and they even had some academic arguments.

Alice looked at Mo Yi lying there and laughed:

"Mo Yi, you rest for a while, I'll go prepare breakfast."

Mo Yi: "..."

I am, after all, human. To endure such a high-intensity mental activity for a whole night is really no easier than having sex.

Alice looks very energetic, as if she could fight another three hundred rounds. All I can say is that they are different races and really can't be compared.

Hearing that the other person was making breakfast, Mo Yi finally breathed a sigh of relief. He could finally rest for a while; his brain was practically mush.

Alice, standing at the doorway, turned back and smiled.

"Let's continue after breakfast; there are still many things I haven't explained clearly—"

"Also, I'm very interested in the 'figures' you mentioned."

Mo Yi: "..."

I can't take it anymore!

PS: Chapter 114, Bronya Arc 1.21: 'Say yes, say yes, say yes!!' The Mihoyo employees, already prepared, clapped and shouted, a perfect marriage proposal scene. Mo Yi: "..." Looking at Bronya staring at him, was he being tricked? "Bronya, you're too young." Bronya said preparedly, "We can date and have children first, and then get a marriage certificate in a couple of years. That's just a formality, Bronya doesn't mind." Mo Yi: "..." I disagree! At this moment, Kiana and the others couldn't hold back any longer and shouted. Da Wei Ge blocked Kiana, who was rushing forward, and said, "They're a perfect match, why do they need your approval, you monster!" Then, Da Wei Ge was kicked away by Kiana with a flying kick. "Captain, you're admitting it—" Bronya stood up and gave Mo Yi, who was still stunned by the scene, an Oath Kiss. "Heavy-duty Rabbit— " She then summoned Motorbike Bunny, pulled Mo Yi onto it, and laughed, "We're off then." With that, before Kiana and the others could catch up, she stepped on the gas and sped away. (End of Bronya arc.)
