Chapter 130 Chapter 130 I think you are enjoying it too
Li Hua: "Good morning, Dick. Did I disturb you? Just now, my second brother got so carried away dancing that he grabbed my phone, which was playing music, and flew over. I was worried about disturbing you, so I rushed over immediately... but it seems I couldn't stop him. Sorry."
"No, I woke up on my own." Dick jumped onto the windowsill and touched the frozen castle, which was obviously only half-finished. He asked curiously, "Can you stand on this?"
"The walls might be a little thin, but the floor is fine. I've walked on it."
Li Hua steadied the flying stick with one hand and approached Dick's windowsill, handing over the ice ghost cub in his hand.
"I'm tied up, so can you hold my phone for me? Then I can take you over. It's quite slippery in there, and you're not wearing spikes, so be careful not to fall if you jump over directly."
Unlike human pups, which feel soft and warm, Ice Ghost pups' external body temperature doesn't differ significantly from that of their surroundings. Their partially hardened shells feel smooth, denting when pressed slightly and springing back quickly when released, much like a balloon.
Although compared to a balloon, the skin of the Nakfuji is far tougher than human skin. Even the skin of a one-month-old cub is more resistant to extreme temperatures and pressure than any carbon-based species on Earth, and can adapt well to the Earth's atmospheric pressure and the vacuum of space.
"Are they bigger than when I saw them before?"
Dick took the cub and weighed it in his hand, recalling the feeling of having Lao Wu hold his head.
"A bit heavier. When I first saw them, they were no heavier than a 600ml bottle of mineral water. Now..."
The serious adult superhero weighed it again and finally concluded, "It's almost 4 pounds. It's growing so fast."
Number 666 automatically converted into units in Li Hua's head: [About 2 kilograms.]
Li Hua: "Yes, I don't know if this is the natural growth rate of the Nakfuji people, or if Ember Gold is a super tonic. We sent No. 666 and Ben to transform into Ice Ghost to take a look, and the conclusion is that these children are very healthy."
"As long as you're healthy."
Dick held the Ice Ghost cub in his arms in a standard baby-holding posture and rocked it gently. His heart almost melted as he watched the cub dancing and squeaking in his arms and spraying small balls of ice mist.
"Oh... is He smiling?"
"No, because you were just shaking Him, and now He thinks you're playing with Him but He hasn't started yet, so He's in a state of agitation and complaining."
Li Hua landed on the windowsill of Dick's room, went into Dick's room, picked up the dancing ice ghost cub, sank his energy into his dantian, used his legs to drive the power of his waist, and with one burst, he turned the cute cub into a perfect parabola and threw it out of the window, then quickly closed the window and drew the curtains.
"Go down the stairs and don't make any noise, or a bunch of cubs will come through the wall and ask us to throw them away."
Dick saw the reflections of several large moths with flapping wings gathering on the curtains and looking around, as if they also wanted to throw objects from a high altitude.
...What a hardcore way to raise a child. What a fierce Nakfuji cub.
As he walked out of the room, Dick couldn't help but ask, "Can't they become invisible?"
Li Hua: "We live in a residential area, and Ben's home is also in a residential area. In order to avoid attracting too much unnecessary attention, we have taught our children not to use invisibility to pass through a window with the curtains drawn."
It was only when he walked into the yard that Dick truly realized the magnificence of the ice castle.
The entire castle is almost formed in one piece, with few cracks visible. The crystal clear ice sparkles in the sunlight.
Dick was about to ask how these little guys had built such a spectacular ice structure when he saw Benjamin and Jason holding tablets and discussing something intensely beneath the ice wall. As Dick and Li Hua approached, they both looked up and shouted:
"Li Hua, please give us your opinion!"
Li Hua put his staff on his shoulder and walked over: "What are you doing now?"
Jason held up the tablet. On it was a cartoon image of a sippy cup with eyes, arms, and legs. "Benjamin said he wanted to put an ice sculpture of this thing on top of the castle. He said it would be fitting to have the Snow King on top of the ice castle."
Benjamin: "Why not? 'Let It Go' can be played, but not Snow Mud King? Snow Mud King is appropriate for the occasion and a cartoon character, perfect for kids."
Jason: "Then please look me in the eye and swear to Snow Mud that you created this entire Snow Mud King for the children, not for you."
A baby Ice Ghost, barely two months old, is already watching anime and falling in love with a character, even one that doesn't even exist in the universe? Are you kidding him?
"...What about you?" Benjamin took the tablet, swiped it back, and showed Li Hua and Dick the picture of the Batmobile. "Is the Batmobile also a must-have toy for young kids?"
Don't I know what you're thinking? The Batmobile is even more complex! We're all the same, so don't laugh at the second brother.
"Why not? Didn't you eat the Batmobile when you were pregnant? With the foundation of prenatal education, using the Batmobile as a baby toy is so reasonable!"
"It was the Ice Ghost who was pregnant! And I didn't eat the slush back then, not because I didn't want to, but because I didn't have the chance. I wanted to eat the slush so badly, right? Besides, according to your logic, the Ice Ghost went to the Court of Owls and ate a lot of electrum while pregnant. Doesn't that mean she should have built an ice sculpture of an owl?"
"The Batmobile is their way back. It's the first thing they 'ate' in this world. How memorable is that?"
"So, what you're saying is that the Snow Mud King can also represent my universe, representing their destination and origin. Isn't that commemorative?"
"Li Hua, what are you talking about?"
"Li Hua, what do you think?"
"Li Hua has a new idea," Li Hua said. "Why don't we put something up there that doesn't exist in any of our three worlds?"
Dick: “Like?”
"Hollow Knight: Silksong," Li Hua said expressionlessly. "Cartoon characters are easy to model, and it just so happens that none of the three worlds have them."
"I played the first Hollow Knight the summer after my high school entrance exam. At that time, they said Hollow Knight: Silksong was going to be released. I was so lucky! I had just finished the first game and was playing the sequel."
“And then it bounced.”
"It keeps getting delayed, just like I've been lucky, it never stops. I've been lucky until the next round starts."
Even though his body had decayed in the first round, even though he had come to a different world, Li Hua still wanted to shout out - "Silk Song", what are you going to pay me back with?!
Everyone: “…”
Dick: "I saw the news about this game. Last year they said it would be released by the end of the year. Maybe Li Hua, you can finally play it..."
Jason: “At the end of last year they said it was postponed again.”
Everyone: “…”
Even in a different world, the release date is still being postponed!
Dick: "Look at the bright side, Li Hua. Although your world's "Silk Song" has been repeatedly delayed, your world's "PRAGMATA" (The Myriad Realities) should be out soon. We've been waiting for years for it to be released here."
Li Hua: "I haven't played this game, but I saw the news that it has been postponed again as I started a new week in my life."
Dick: “…”
Ka O Kong, what's wrong with you? You said you wanted to leave before I graduated. Now that I'm working, why are you still talking about leaving?
Perhaps there were too many "lucky people" here, so Benjamin and Jason shook hands and made peace.
"Actually, I think the Snow King is pretty cute too."
"The Batmobile is pretty cool, too."
Li Hua: "If you ask me, instead of the ice sculpture, we should reinforce the walls first. Right now, this room can barely support the weight of one person. Or we can put in some anti-slip measures. I almost fell to my death when I went up there just now. Luckily, the second brother pulled me up."
Then the second brother took this opportunity to snatch the phone that was playing "Let It Go" and started a chase in the air.
Jason: "It's more than just support and anti-slip. The uneven heights and widths of the staircase are like the twin of the deadly staircases from Victorian England. This crooked castle is full of bugs. I think we should just build a new one."
The proposal was agreed upon by all, and soon Dick saw the whole process of the three children building an ice castle.
First, Benjamin transformed into a swamp fire and melted the extremely dangerous ice fortress. Li Hua then activated the [Water] card and molded the melted water into various shapes like 3D models.
Once they are satisfied with the shape, they will call the ice ghost cubs over to spit ice or transform into nothingness and move around, freezing them from the inside out.
If he was not satisfied with the details, Benjamin would use swamp fire to melt that part of the ice, and then Li Hua would reshape it and refreeze the ice ghost cubs.
Li Hua's spellcasting was practiced and his experience points were increased. The ice ghost cubs consumed their energy and practiced their survival skills. It was really a win-win situation.
Dick calculated the time and found out that they were discussing the adjustments to the castle's shape, and the entire construction time was no more than fifteen minutes.
"But where did you get so much water?"
Jason: "I took it from the swimming pool in the manor. No one swims in that pool usually anyway."
Dick: “…”
How many tons of water are in that pool?
Benjamin thought Dick was worried about the problem of waste. "Don't worry, when the kids get tired of playing, I'll turn into a Kryptonian and put the ice castle back into the pool. If Li Hua still has magic power by then, we can melt the ice and put the water back into the pool like before. No water will be wasted."
Dick: "That's not the problem. Anyway, the pool is rarely used except for Bruce's pool parties. Gotham often rains, and the water disappears after a few days. I was just thinking that since we have a castle, shouldn't we have furniture too?"
There is so much water in the swimming pool that the small ice and snow castle in front of you, which is almost as big as the amusement facilities in the children's park, is not solid. The water consumption it uses is probably less than one-fifth of the water storage capacity of the swimming pool.
"So let's not limit ourselves to just castles, let's make some ice sculptures! What do you think of Doraemon? It's cartoony, easy to model, and it happens to be blue!"
