Alice: We're Going to Have a Big Night Tonight!
"Why? Isn't Alice my master?"
Hearing Aili's words, Alice became even more excited. Her words revealed that Ellie was capable of thinking, which was the most important thing for an independent individual.
"Of course I am your master—"
"..."
Alice, as if she had received a beloved doll, hugged it and talked to it like a child.
After a while, Alice realized that she wasn't the only one there. She looked at Mo Yi apologetically and said, "I was so happy that I got lost in the moment."
"It's alright, there's one more thing—"
Mo Yi reached out and took the mini hair clip from Aili's head, the same style as Alice's, and used magic to write on the back of the clip...
"May you live a carefree life— to my Aili," and then a "Lucky Chant" with an unknown, mystical effect was cast on it.
Finally, he put it back on the other person's head and laughed:
"This is a small blessing."
"Thanks--"
As the creator of Aili, Mo Yi naturally gained Aili's favor and nodded happily.
After teasing Aili for a while, Alice told Mo Yi, who had been working for several hours, to take a break, while she went to cook with a smile.
Having already slept in Alice's bed once, Mo Yi didn't stand on ceremony and simply lay down on it, clearing his mind to rest.
After the two finished dinner and chatted for a while, Alice invited Mo Yi to her workshop again to exchange ideas on magic.
Mo Yi: "..."
Although he was mentally exhausted, Mo Yi's body remained obedient, seduced by Alice. He knew he could catch up on sleep anytime, but such opportunities for exchange and learning were rare.
The difference is that Alice used to be surrounded by two dolls, Penglai and Shanghai, but now there is an additional 'Aili', making the special effects look even cooler.
Unlike last night, Alice was very interested in the Rune Mo Yi used today, because 'Aili' was created by that Rune Magic. However, Alice, who had never been exposed to such a system of knowledge from another world, naturally could not understand it.
Mo Yi sensed that the other party seemed to have something to ask, and after thinking about it carefully, he understood and took the initiative to bring it up.
"Alice, are you interested in the magic from before?"
Hearing Mo Yi say that, Alice turned her head away in embarrassment, realizing that he had seen through her 'filthy' thoughts.
Alice: Does the other person think I'm that kind of person?!
Mo Yi: "..."
What to do? Shy Alice looks so cute, she seems to be beckon me to bully her!
How could that be?! The type of girl I like is a black-haired, straight-haired, mature woman, or a white-haired, twin-tailed loli (new addition). Blonde hair has never been in my preferred category.
Moreover, seeing how innocent the other person was, Mo Yi felt a sense of 'ashamed' because he had been eyeing the Grimoire in the other person's hand all along.
Although I didn't think of deceiving the other party or using any bad methods to obtain it, in comparison, I felt like I had become 'Kira Yoshitsu'!
"Um--"
Alice turned her face away and then, two seconds later, gave a very soft "hmm".
"I... am interested."
"That's good--"
Upon hearing that the other party was interested, Mo Yi took the initiative to explain it to them, focusing on the macro-level fundamentals.
Rune Magic is a magic system in the Honor of Kings world, a truly cosmic system. Even Alice's personal research on puppet magic required an entire night to explain its general outline, let alone a system of Rune Magic.
Mo Yi is currently explaining things like the 'general outline' and concepts to Alice, followed by the most basic Rune and the Rune Magic used to create 'Aili'. In short, it's mainly about the ideas of 'coding' and 'artificial intelligence'.
Happy times are always pleasant, at least in Alice's mind, this was the happiest day she had had in years!
Having obtained the doll of her dreams, Aili, and gained new insights, she felt a completely new door open to her after several hours of reflection. Although she had been working hard before, she had never found a way and could only experiment and explore endlessly. After all, she had almost infinite life. But at this moment, she felt that her dream had never been closer than before.
She has found a practical path to her dreams!
The double happiness combined made Alice feel twice as happy, and the double happiness brought even more happiness, like a dreamlike happy time.
After explaining the general concept, Mo Yi stopped, even though it was already around four o'clock in the morning.
"Alice, let's stop here for tonight."
Mo Yi said to Alice still seemed to want more:
"You haven't rested since the day before yesterday, and Rune Magic is very complicated. You can't get the hang of it without a long time. We can communicate on Eien-tei Online in the future. I will compile a teaching material and send it to you for self-study. You can contact me anytime if you don't understand anything."
If you learn the other person's puppet magic and teach them some Rune Magic in return, you won't owe them anything.
Mo Yi dislikes feeling indebted to others, whether it's something tangible or a favor.
"And we're going to Eientei tomorrow, I can't be without energy—"
"Uh (⊙o⊙)..."
Mo Yi's reminder finally snapped Alice out of her dreamlike state and reminded her that Mo Yi was leaving the next day to go to Eientei to find his friend!
Things that Alice had been subconsciously ignoring finally roused her from her dreamlike state.
Why did it turn out like this?
It's only just begun, and it's already so short-lived, is it already over?!
PS: Chapter 118, Alice's Chapter 1.4: "It's alright—" After being pulled into the house by Alice used her hands to wipe the mist off Mo Yi's body. The mist in the Magic Forest is poisonous, but of course, it was completely useless against Mo Yi, a 'dual-wielding melee mage tank'. Alice didn't give Mo Yi a chance to refuse, meticulously wiping him with a silk scarf. Seeing her so earnest, how could Mo Yi possibly refuse? He felt that her kindness was a form of hurt. "Alright—" A minute later, Alice finally smiled with relief and helped Mo Yi sit on the sofa. "I've prepared some warm black tea. Have some to warm yourself up." Mo Yi: "..." Alice's enthusiasm was impossible to refuse. So Mo Yi sat down and accepted the black tea Alice personally offered. In the end, he could only say: 'Thank you.' Mo Yi: "(⊙o⊙)..." While Mo Yi was drinking tea, he felt something touch his shoulder. Hmm, Alice was a hospitable friend, Mo Yi already knew that. This must be her wanting to massage his shoulders. "Mo Yi, just drink your tea, I'll give you a massage. You're always so busy, your shoulders are so stiff." Mo Yi: "..." Although this wasn't the first time he'd received such treatment, Mo Yi still felt a little uncomfortable!
Chapter 231: Alice: Tonight we're going to have a big fight!
Seeing Alice standing there in a daze, seemingly emanating a very ominous aura, Mo Yi asked with some concern, "Alice, are you alright?"
"Ah, it's nothing—"
Alice's negative energy bar was halfway full when she was interrupted by Mo Yi's voice. Alice came back to her senses, looked at Mo Yi was right in front of her with a worried expression, and forced a smile, "I'm just a little tired."
