Chapter 2: New Century (Epilogue)
“You’ll really give me anything I want?” Loli asked with a mysterious smile.
“Of course,” Xi Wei replied without fear.
As a Legendary Knight, there were few things beyond his capabilities at this stage.
“Alright, Master. You said it yourself.”
Loli clapped her hands, her pretty face filled with visible excitement and eagerness to try.
She said with a smile, “I remember Sister Ruo Yi did 20,000 times, right? I don’t ask for much, just have Master make up for the 20,000 times today~ What do you think, isn’t it very simple?”
Xi Wei: Σ(っ°Д°;)っ？？？
This thing isn’t going away, is it!
Ruo Yi’s 20,000 times in her dream was something she did herself in her sleep!
Xi Wei felt numb. If squeezing salad into white bread counted as one time, it would take him about an hour at his current cooking speed.
20,000 times would be 20,000 hours, or 833 days!
How could any human possibly do this?
Seeing Xi Wei’s stunned expression, Loli looked wronged and pretended to be sad. “What, can’t Master even do this small request? Hmph ╭(╯^╰)╮”
“Ah, this…” Xi Wei was momentarily speechless.
He was the one who had just said anything was possible.
And now he was the one who couldn’t do it.
“It’s not that I can’t do it, but it requires time. I promise I can complete this matter in the future, after all, our time together is still long.”
“But that won’t do~” Loli softly hugged Xi Wei’s waist, looked up at him, poked his stomach with her chin, and pouted her red lips. “It has to be completed within a day~”
“Within a day?” Xi Wei’s eyes widened, and he scratched his head. “Loli, I, I’m human, not an octopus. Besides, this requires a process of accumulation. As the saying goes… deep accumulation leads to exponential growth. How can there be growth without accumulation?”
“Master, this matter can actually be done.”
Shirley’s snow-white fox tail swayed behind her as she raised a finger, her eyes sparkling.
“I can increase the flow of time by a thousand times within a fixed small area. This way, it will only take 20 hours to complete the mission. However, my current strength is insufficient to achieve this. 20 hours will consume too much energy. At this point, we will need to use two props.”
With that, she took out the pocket watch she had prepared from her embrace.
The small pocket watch shimmered brilliantly under the light of the crystal lamp, and the sapphire crystal surface reflected Xi Wei’s face, which was a mixture of shock and astonishment.
“Yevna’s Pocket Watch. It can pause time within a small area, but the holder of the pocket watch will not be affected by the pause function.”
Ruo Yi personally put the pocket watch on Xi Wei’s wrist, then took out a prism shaped like an hourglass.
“Ephemeral Prism of Reversal. It contains a small room built by Master. Once you enter, your physical state will become constant, so there will be no aging or hunger.”
She then handed the Ephemeral Prism of Reversal to Xi Wei and said with a smile,
“With my current understanding of the rules of time, I can accelerate the time within the pocket watch by 10 times, and then accelerate the time outside the pocket watch by 1000 times. Calculated this way, you only need two hours of normal time to fulfill Loli’s request. Including the rest time you need, let’s round it up to three hours.”
Xi Wei stared blankly at the pocket watch and the Ephemeral Prism, then at Ruo Yi, as if looking at a demon.
“How is it, Master? Can you do it?”
Loli’s captivating voice came from his embrace.
“No… no, I mean, Loli, can you handle it?”
“Of course, it’s no problem~ Shirley will watch me, and Master is very gentle, isn’t he?”
Loli blinked her big eyes and licked her lips.
“Alright, fine. Since that’s the case…”
Xi Wei compromised, took a deep breath, and said solemnly, “I will fulfill your wish today!”
After a while, the three of them entered the Ephemeral Prism, the dungeon “[Xi Wei’s Bedroom]”. Ruo Yi enveloped half of the bed space with her time abilities.
“Master, this is the limit of what I can do right now. In a moment, you and Loli will enter a time accelerated 1000 times faster. Of course, you yourselves won’t feel the acceleration, but everything around you will turn into a blur. You don’t need to worry about this, but absolutely do not leave this area.”
Ruo Yi’s pretty face was serious as she repeatedly emphasized, “After you finish, just stand up. I will be able to see. Then I will use my time power to move this area and place it in the wilderness outside Winter City… You don’t want to see the entire space flooded, do you? And by those… *cough*, you know.”
Xi Wei awkwardly touched his nose, while Loli blushed and said nothing.
“Alright, these are all the important points. If you’re ready, you can enter this area. I haven’t started accelerating time yet.”
Xi Wei pulled Loli’s hand and walked into the area. At this moment, Ruo Yi outside was still clearly visible.
“Are you ready?”
“Ready.” Xi Wei nodded and made eye contact with Loli.
“Time acceleration begins. I wish you a happy time~”
“Buzz—!”
The hands on the golden pocket watch spun frantically and gradually disappeared.
Ruo Yi, outside the time acceleration zone, also became blurry. In just two or three seconds, everything around them turned into a gray void, with only golden photons representing time energy flowing through the void.
“Master, let’s start too~”
Loli had already peeled off the bread crust, revealing a fragrant and soft slice of white bread, dotted with peach petals, and a pink pearl glistening faintly.
Xi Wei swallowed. He was already a bit hungry.
Without further delay, he removed the skin from the hot dog and added it to the slice of white bread.
…
Outside the time acceleration zone.
“Slap~”
Ruo Yi elegantly snapped her fingers, and a table and chairs immediately appeared beside her.
She sat down with her legs crossed, resting her chin on her hands, silently admiring the scene within the time acceleration zone.
Even if the cooking process were accelerated by ten thousand times, she could still keep up.
It was just that her brain received a lot of information in a short period.
In fact, in less than five minutes, the area around Xi Wei and Loli already showed signs of being overwhelmed.
It could be said that Loli, as a follower of the Sea God, was indeed powerful, and Xi Wei, with the Red Dragon Bloodline, did not disappoint.
“Master, you have to keep trying~”
Ruo Yi looked at the frantically cooking Xi Wei, a hopeful smile appearing on her lips.
Inside the Ephemeral Prism, although the physical body would enter a constant state, the spirit would not.
It was obvious that after three hours, Loli would also fall unconscious.
And then it would be time for her to settle accounts with Xi Wei…
As if thinking of something delightful, Ruo Yi’s snow-white fox tail swayed happily.
