I'm playing Honkai Impact 3

Page 1013

Compared to spending two months together in the confined room, the month of traveling together, inseparable from each other, gave the Tirispians a more comprehensive understanding of the Dome.

At the same time, they became increasingly convinced that the seemingly carefree Qiong must have experienced hardships and traumas that are unimaginable to ordinary people.

Otherwise, why would they mistake a trash can for a treasure chest and a broken plate for crystal?

March 7th was something Qiong was used to doing.

Faced with Tirispius's surprised and strange expression, he inexplicably felt a sense of superiority, as if he understood Sora better.

"Oh, Xingbao, don't blame me."

Qiong sighed insincerely:

"Blame it on the fact that crystals are too tempting."

The monthly pass sponsored by Aha distributes crystals according to Galactic Standard Time.

Qiong spent three months inside Onpharos. Outside, let alone a day, less than twenty minutes had passed since Xing and the others departed from what they called the carriage.

The internal and external time flow rates are more than a thousand times faster.

Monthly card crystals are obviously unreliable, and the triggering of daily system tasks seems to be based on the time of the world where Qiong's physical body is located.

Therefore, this part of the spirit within Onpharos cannot even complete daily crystal quests.

Fortunately, treasure chests can still spawn around him.

The treasure chest is located inside Onpharos and is one of the only two sources of crystal for the spirit of the Dome.

The other is special tasks, which are triggered less frequently.

Although the crystals contributed by a treasure chest each time are the most meager of all the methods, the world is so vast!

Given a vast enough map and a long enough period of time, the gap can be narrowed.

For the past month, Qiong has been both exploring and tilling the land.

Daily earnings vary, ranging from a few dollars to eight or nine dollars, averaging five or six dollars per day.

Even with this level of daily income, Qiong could hardly imagine it given the terrifying flow of time in Onpharos and the outside world.

Wait until Xing and the others come in, then see how much water I can collect.

When Xingbao enters the new map, he will wonder why there are no treasure chests in the new world.

The world's resources have all been wiped out by the Qiongchu Earth.

Forget about treasure chests, there's not even a single Sunset Fruit or a Scam Flower.

Unfortunately, ideals are beautiful, but reality is harsh.

As the time spent inside Onpharos continued to lengthen, Kyō keenly perceived a serious problem.

Even with his extraordinary resilience and mental strength, he could not withstand the tearing sensation caused by such a terrifying difference in the flow of time for long.

If we do nothing...

The connecting cable between this carriage, which accelerates thousands of times faster than others, will break, and this part of its spirit will turn into helpless fragments of its soul, dissipating as its power dwindles.

Shang Yang, who was torn apart by five horses, was reduced to having a horse lose an arm. The horse's strength increased a thousandfold, and the arm was pulled off by the powerful external force.

Conservatively speaking, the Dome can withstand three more years within the Onpharos timeframe.

Of course, this is assuming nothing is done.

Qiong was not helpless; he had ways to alleviate and reduce the situation.

The most basic method is to put the person to sleep.

Let this part of the spirit fall into a deep slumber, so that there will naturally be no time difference of thousands of times.

They slept until the time when the stars entered Onpharos.

But since Qiong said she would help Tirisippius with the fire-chasing, how could she choose to be a sleeping beauty?

Sleep should only be used as a last resort.

Currently, there seems to be enough time; it's not too late to make plans when the pressure on the soul approaches the warning line.

A gentle, warm breeze swept by, and Tirispie's elegant, fiery red hair, as vibrant as a mulberry blossom, was tucked behind her ear.

She turned her head to the side, a gentle smile on her face, gazing at the young man who was surrounded by her various profiles.

For Tirispeius, this past month was the happiest, most joyful, and even carefree time in the last ten years.

Where should we go today?

The Queen smiled.

"Let's go to Ussya!"

Tibo raised her hand to make the suggestion.

"Do you remember that magical notebook we read before? In the legend of Pecheneg, there's a golden honey cake that can make people taste happiness! How about we go find it?"

Tian puts one hand on her hip.

"That was ultimately just a vague and unfounded legend..."

Tinning quietly splashed a bucket of cold water on it.

"Why don't we go to Perm?"

Ti Xiao tied her hip-length bright red hair into a single ponytail, giving her a more capable and dashing appearance compared to the other elegant and graceful Tili Sippios.

"I think it's better to go to Sipolis—the ancient legends of sages slumber in the ruins, and perhaps we can find lost texts of knowledge."

Ti Rong wore a captivating smile, her demeanor as serene as moonlight.

If this were in a modern high school, it would probably be the object of many people's affections.

Although they share the five senses and are of one mind, each red-haired beauty is a facet of the complete Tirispius.

Therefore, preferences for specific matters will naturally differ due to different emphases.

Nine Tirispeius proposed nine completely different destinations, each with its own reasons.

"Titi, Qiong, where do you think we're going?"

With the argument proving fruitless, all nine pairs of identical, deep blue eyes turned to the main body and Qiong, their gazes filled with anticipation and a subtle sense of competition.

"Hmm~"

Facing the multifaceted gazes of the nine "selves," Tirispyos gently touched her full, alluring, rosy lips with her index finger, a gentle yet cunning smile curving her lips.

"Let Sora make the decision~"

The so-called "white-faced but actually cunning".

The red and pink are similar, and when cut open, they are black.

In the past month, Qiong had already experienced firsthand the cunning nature beneath the saintess's dignified and elegant exterior.

"Let me decide?"

Qiong shrugged, giving a nonchalant reply as she was stared at by ten pairs of identical blue-flowered eyes:

"Then let's go to the North and expand our territory."

"If you can't have it all, then don't have it all... You know how to balance things."

March 7th, with one hand on her hip, her eyebrows furrowed, looked at Qiong with adorable eyes and complained.

But a smug smile played on his lips.

Qiong didn't choose any of the Tirispius's suggestions, and as for the North... she had mentioned a few days ago whether she wanted to go see the snow.

Hmph, I didn't expect him to remember that.

Then I'll forgive you for accidentally seeing Tirispius changing clothes the night before last.

"The North?"

"Want to go see the snow? That sounds great!"

"We've never seen real heavy snowfall before."

The Tirispians exchanged a knowing glance and nodded in agreement.

"Set off."

Qiong took out the Anywhere Door that had caused the demigod of the Gate of Paths heartache and casually opened it.

Huhu~

A biting wind, carrying large snowflakes, rushed in from the opposite side of the door in an instant.

A few snowflakes swirled and landed on Tibo's slightly cool cheeks.

Wow! So much snow!

Ti Xiao's eyes lit up, and she rushed over first.

"Although I've gotten used to it, it still feels a bit unbelievable."

Tibo stroked the frame of the Anywhere Door with a sigh.

Over the course of a month, the group traveled through many cities and states.

Enjoy fish soup in the eastern coastal city in the early morning, and then experience the wind and sand in the scorching western desert by noon.

We returned to the hotel for a short rest at noon, and then strolled along the warm southern beach in the afternoon, collecting seashells.

At night, one can lie atop a towering mountain, gazing up at Onphalus's unique and dazzling starry sky...

Hundreds or even thousands of miles away are nothing more than a step away from this magical door.

If she were to open the door, she would probably be too tired to enjoy the sights.

Wow, it really is a snowy wonderland.

On March 7th, as she stepped out of the Anywhere Door, her pink hair was instantly whipped about by the cold wind.

"It really is a frozen wasteland."

Qiong sighed in agreement.

"Ne~ Ne~"

The purple Rubik's Cube above his head echoed this.

"Sigh, stop repeating a grade. You've already repeated a grade all the way from Yalilo to here."

The familiar experience of repeating a grade reminded March 7th of when she first arrived in Yalilo.

A scene reenactment.

But it feels like so many things have already happened.

March 7th reached out and grasped Qiong's palm, then gently turned it over, weaving her fingers between his, their ten fingers intertwined tightly.

Qiong's lips twitched slightly. He noticed that recently March 7th seemed to really enjoy making intimate gestures with him in front of Tirispius.

It's somewhat like a declaration of sovereignty, and also somewhat...

"The Northern Frontier, could this be...?"

The dangerous lady's hairstyle, Tiju gazes at the ruined city in the distant north.

"The land of death, Aidiria, where snow falls?"

Ti Rong continued the conversation.

"Yes, this is the place."

Qiong nodded with a smile.

Although we came to see the snow, it wouldn't be very interesting if we only saw the snow.

I've seen enough of what Yalilo has to offer.

Qiong chose a location that is a ruined city-state. Such places have a high probability of spawning treasure chests and can also be used for archaeology.

Tirispius gazed at the city-state buried under ice and snow.

She is also very curious about history.

Aederia has been extinct for over a thousand years.
