Chapter 盟主加更 For the Boring Little Silly Doll_Alliance Leader

"There are too many things here, can you even carry them?" Xia Yan looked at the pile of toys and books in the living room of the siblings' home in the East District, and couldn't help but click her tongue in amazement.

Jiang Xiao thought for a moment and said, "The Shadow Crow Star Bead's Crow Transformation skill has a special effect: when you transform into a crow, the items on your body will transform with you."

Xia Yan said somewhat disbelievingly, "This much stuff? It can all transform with you?"

Jiang Xiao knew he was exaggerating a bit, and scratched his head awkwardly, saying, "I really can't carry too much. Items close to my body can transform. I can pack these things up.

The Crow Transformation skill can be as big or as small as I want. I can output more Star Power to transform into a giant crow. I originally planned to just carry the bamboo bear, but now it seems I have to carry a lot more things."

Han Jiangxue said, "Reduce the load a bit. Safety is the most important thing. You can't transform living creatures. Dragging that hundred-kilogram bamboo bear around, if you fall and get surrounded by the White Ghoul race, it'll be troublesome."

Jiang Xiao thought for a moment and said, "Okay, the watches are definitely not getting cut; they need them the most."

Han Jiangxue opened her mouth with a serious expression and said, "You can bring the watches, no problem, but you have to prioritize. The most important resource you can provide to them is Star Beads."

Jiang Xiao nodded repeatedly, saying, "Yes, those Star Warriors have all improved their realms. They're all at Star Ocean level and starting, with a bunch of empty Star Slots."

Han Jiangxue nodded and suggested, "This Shadow Crow Star Bead is very good, and your reserves are plentiful. It can give those Star Warriors the ability to fly."

Without waiting for others to speak, Han Jiangxue continued, "You don't need to explore the map yourself. Since they can fly back in one direction, you don't need to worry about them getting lost. You can't take all the responsibility on yourself. You need helpers, you need their help."

Hearing this, Jiang Xiao agreed with Han Jiangxue's suggestion.

Xia Yan's face showed a look of pity, "A bunch of Star Ocean overlords with empty Star Slots... Little Pi, tell me what Star Beads would be useful for them, tell me now, and I'll contact the merchants and buy them."

Jiang Xiao smiled helplessly, "They're all kings of the upper snowfields. From a purely combat perspective, they don't need any Star Beads. But Little Jiangxue is right, flying-type Star Skills are great. From that perspective..."

Xia Yan's eyes lit up and she said, "Swimming-type Star Skills? Do they need those? The kind that allows you to breathe freely underwater?"

This time, it was Jiang Xiao's turn to look at Xia Yan with a look of loving concern for the mentally challenged, and he said quietly, "There's no ocean in the snowfield..."

Xia Yan immediately became unhappy, "Melt the snow and make a swimming pool for the kids to play in!"

Jiang Xiao paused for a moment and said, "That's not a bad idea, since they're just idling around anyway. But it's not necessary to absorb that kind of Star Skill. They do have a bunch of empty Star Slots, but those are extremely precious. Underwater breathing Star Skills aren't very practical for their environment."

Han Jiangxue said, "Fire-type, illumination-type, healing-type."

Jiang Xiao shook his head and said, "All three of them are warriors; healing-type Star Beads are useless. They all have fire-type Star Skills; they can make fire, warm themselves, and besides, it's always twilight there; they don't need much illumination."

Han Jiangxue secretly regretted and said, "If there were any magic-type users, you could give them some Flame Puppeteer-type Star Beads."

Jiang Xiao said, "That's possible! Healing-type is special among the special; other classes can't touch healing-type Star Skills. But warriors can absorb magic-type Star Skills, it just costs more, consumes too many Star Beads, and the effect is greatly reduced."

Xia Yan immediately said happily, "When I was a freshman, I went to the Fire Source Mountains too many times with the pioneering team. I have a lot of Flame Puppeteer Star Beads. I'll go home and find them for you later."

In fact, Han Jiangxue also had a stock of Flame Puppeteer Star Beads.

When Jiang Xiao and Gu Shi'an were running laps on the training ground and breaking through to the Star River Realm, when Jiang Xiao was adventuring everywhere with Erwei, Han Jiangxue and Xia Yan, as Star River Realm pioneering apprentices, were going on training missions with Song Chunxi and the others.

"Snap!" Xia Yan snapped her fingers and said excitedly, "Flame puppets can keep you warm, provide light, and they're obedient. Little Flame Puppets are fun to play with, they're perfect!"

Hearing this, Jiang Xiao grinned and thought of the appearance of the little firemen.

To be honest, he was really afraid that Yuanyuan would be corrupted by that group of rascals...

......

At night, Jiang Xiao was sleeping on the floor in the training room, but he tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep, feeling that something was missing from the supplies he was carrying.

Besides children's books and toys, Jiang Xiao was carrying daily necessities: clothes, shoes, hats, toiletries, and medicine.

In fact, so-called daily necessities may not be "necessary" for those who are trying to survive.

They didn't have these things and still lived in the snowfield for several years.

Fortunately, they were all Star Warriors, strong and healthy; otherwise, without any healing-type Star Warriors, they might have been deprived of their lives by certain diseases.

As a child born in the upper dimension, Jiang Xiao didn't know how difficult Yuanyuan's infancy was, but he survived and was very healthy. Perhaps it had a lot to do with the environment of the upper dimension.

Jiang Xiao had reason to believe that Yuanyuan would eventually become a Star Warrior, and might even awaken early.

After all, Yuanyuan's parents were both Star Warriors, and the Star Power environment in the upper dimension was much stronger than on Earth.

Toothbrush, toothpaste, medicine, watches, cotton shoes and hats, clothes... Star Beads, Star Beads... Wait, Star Beads?

......

At the same time, in the upper dimension of the snowfield.

There was no so-called day and night here; when people were tired, they would choose to go to sleep.

In a separate stone chamber, Jiang Xiao was lying on a bed made of thick white ghoul skin, spacing out and thinking hard about what items he should bring.

Suddenly, the sound of light footsteps entered Jiang Xiao's ears.

Bait Jiang Xiao had a perception Star Skill and easily detected the sound of footsteps. He sat up and turned to look at the entrance.

He saw a complexly-faced Cang Lan slowly walking in, her long ponytail wrapped around her shoulder, standing upright in front of her chest, and hanging down to her waist.

Her hair was thick and black, and it had left a deep impression in Jiang Xiao's mind the first time he saw her.

On Earth, Jiang Xiao rarely saw women with such long hair, and according to Cang Lan, her hair had once reached her knees, but she had cut some of it off later.

Jiang Xiao stood up and came to the stone table, sitting on the wooden stake.

Cang Lan was holding two stone bowls, filled with warm water. She walked over, placed the stone bowls on the stone table, and slowly sat down.

The two fell silent, neither of them speaking.

Jiang Xiao knew that this was just the calm before the storm.

And that was indeed the case. Cang Lan's voice was trembling, and she opened her mouth with a bombshell: "Hu Wei and I don't want anything. I just want you to take Yuanyuan out."

Jiang Xiao silently looked at her long hair. Because she was sitting down, her long hair was already hanging on the ground.

Cang Lan's eyes were red. Seeing Jiang Xiao's downcast and silent appearance, she took a long breath, her smile a little forced, and said, "It's too difficult for you."

Jiang Xiao opened his mouth and said, "As you guessed, I am a summoned creature. The way I go back is for my main body on Earth to resummon me, replacing me here."

Cang Lan rested her elbow on the stone table and supported her forehead with one hand.

This was already a very good way; when my Bait Star Skill wasn't upgraded, the only way for me to get out was to commit suicide. Do you know how many times I died in order to find you?

Of course, these were all Jiang Xiao's inner thoughts and he didn't say them out loud.

Jiang Xiao said, "Song Fu asked me to visit his parents. If you have anyone you want to contact, you can tell me."

Cang Lan's smile was still forced, and she shook her head, not saying anything.

Jiang Xiao sighed helplessly in his heart. He was very wise not to continue asking. After all, he had already said what he had to say, but Cang Lan didn't mention her parents, so there must be her own story, which Jiang Xiao didn't need to explore.

Jiang Xiao said, "I will come here with books, toys, and Star Beads. I'm going to bring some Shadow Crow Star Beads so that you can fly like me and explore the map. Um... are there any particular Star Beads you want?"

Cang Lan was silent, shaking her head gently. It seemed that she could only shake her head now.

Jiang Xiao raised his head and looked at the entrance again. Hu Wei was already standing at the entrance of the cave at some point.

Hu Wei walked in, put his arms around Cang Lan, gently patted her back, and silently comforted her. The look in his eyes towards Jiang Xiao was filled with a trace of gratitude: "Just bring some books, just bring some books for the child..."

At this moment, Jiang Xiao no longer saw comrades-in-arms, but a mother and a father.

Bait Jiang Xiao nodded and said, "Wait for me."

Under the gaze of Hu Wei and Cang Lan, Jiang Xiao's body quietly disappeared without a trace.

Cang Lan knew that Jiang Xiao was not lying to her, and there was no need to lie to her. When she truly saw this scene, she completely gave up hope.

......

Jiangbin City, at home.

Jiang Xiao's main body transformed for a while, and then, a Bait Jiang Xiao wearing a Night Watcher uniform and a circle mask appeared in the room.

Bait Jiang Xiao walked out and gently knocked on Han Jiangxue's door.

It was a dreamy-eyed Xia Yan who opened the door, "So late, what are you doing... Wow!"

Bait Jiang Xiao smiled apologetically and said, "I can't wait until tomorrow. I'll absorb Star Skills and leave immediately."

Xia Yan looked suspiciously at the circle mask and said, "Little Pi? You want to scare people to death!"

"What's wrong?" Han Jiangxue's voice came from inside the room.

Bait Jiang Xiao opened his mouth and said, "I need the Lily Bell user Star Bead in your Shattered Space."

Lily Bell User Star Bead's second Star Skill: Lily Bell Mist!

Lily Bell Mist: Consumes a large amount of Star Power to summon and release a cloud of mist that can drag the target into an illusion, confusing their minds. This Star Skill requires some preparation time, and the user can influence the illusion of the Lily Bell Mist to a certain extent.

Han Jiangxue once said: When Yuanyuan reads books, reads stories, and sees the colorful world in the books, he will long for what he cannot have.

And Lily Bell Mist allows Jiang Xiao to take Yuanyuan to dreamland, to go to any place he wants to go.

Han Jiangxue was wearing pajamas and walked over. Seeing the strange mask, she said, "Bait?"

Bait Jiang Xiao nodded.

Han Jiangxue said, "Summoned back? What do you want the Lily Bell User Star Bead for, to absorb? To refill the Star Chart?"

Bait Jiang Xiao nodded again.

Han Jiangxue frowned slightly and said, "The enemies there are the White Ghoul race. The Lily Bell Star Skill isn't strong. You have better Star Skill choices."

Bait Jiang Xiao said softly, "I promised him that I would take him to see the stars and the moon."

Han Jiangxue's expression froze slightly. A few seconds later, she opened the Shattered Space.
