"We are on land, so there is no need to use transportation, right? We are not in the sea, wouldn't it be better to get out of the car and walk to deal with emergencies?"

When the sports car started to hum, Sonia suddenly felt that this car was a bit redundant.

When they were in the Sea of ​​Knowledge, small boats were a real necessity. After all, swimming was too troublesome, and they were not aquatic animals. They did not get any benefits in the ocean, and soaking in the sea would only bring benefits to the viewers. But when they came to the Continent of Time, the situation was the opposite. They were all land creatures, and most battles required them to stand on the ground. Cars would hinder them from launching a charge in the first place.

"Did you have transportation when you were in the Sea of ​​Knowledge?" Diya heard some clues.

"Yes, a small boat." Sonia complained, "It's a very small boat that can barely fit two people. If you move too much, it will capsize. Fortunately, the spectators are in control and don't have to row..."

"That's great. I also want to take a boat ride in the sea of ​​knowledge," Diya said faintly, "I wish I could meet the viewer earlier. Fortunately, it's not too late now."

Sonia curled her lips: "Yes, I am also very glad that I was chosen by the viewer-"

"Hey, the person involved is still here." Ash moved his eyes away from the virtual map. "Sword Princess, you obviously disliked me from the beginning, and you often complained to me whether you could reduce the intensity of your training!"

"You remembered it wrong!" The red-haired swordsman said loudly, "I am a talented female swordsman. Training is as natural to me as breathing. I feel itchy all over if I don't train for a day. How could I possibly complain to you?"

"Sword Princess, are you practicing the Fate faction? You can change the past history so easily. You are amazing."

"So the viewer arranged for you to train? That's great." Diya sighed, "He insisted on arranging for me to have fun, and I couldn't even study. Although I can understand that the viewer's starting point is good, this is too dictatorial..."

Sonia turned her head instantly and stared at Ash without saying a word. Her face was full of the question "Why does she get preferential treatment?" and her expression was as terrifying as the sky before a storm.

Ash felt like he was being watched by the Titan Executioner, and reluctantly explained, "The witch is in a special state, and the training efficiency has dropped by 75%. It just so happens that I recently got a new treasure that can allow people to gain certain training effects while having fun, and can also avoid negative states..."

"Then why didn't I—"

"Didn't you say you are a talented female swordsman, and training is as natural to you as breathing? You will feel itchy if you don't train for a day? The best entertainment effect is only equivalent to the worst training result. You are not like a witch who has negative states, so training is your most cost-effective choice."

"Woo..." Sonia realized that she had dug a hole for herself just now. In the past, she would have regretted it on the spot. If the audience wanted to reason with him, they could directly blame him for yelling at her so loudly.

However, the witch is right next to her, and she wants to maintain her image as an excellent senior, so she can't act like a spoiled brat.

But she was even more unwilling to see only witches being treated preferentially.

So she looked at Ash with grievance, her mouth pouted so much that a teapot could be hung on it, and her eyes almost turned into vertical pupils. Ash sighed: "This week's plan has been arranged. I will arrange an entertainment activity for you next week."

Sonia's eyes flashed with pride, and then she turned away with disdain: "Humph, I think training is more suitable for me, but I can't help it if you insist on interrupting my tight training rhythm. Who told you to be a spectator?"

Ash was so angry that he kicked her chair.

Bang!

Suddenly, there was a loud noise, and the sports car directly cut through the two big trees in front of it, and very arrogantly crossed over to the grass road in front, and continued to drive forward. The collision process had no effect on the car. Ash and others felt that they just hit tofu, but the car became a lot more transparent. Obviously, this kind of collision cannot be started frequently.

"Well, it turns out that riding in a car is meaningful." Diya suddenly said, "Unlike walking in the time continent, sitting in a car can not only absorb the magic power of the countercurrent golden rain, but also hardly consume any soul energy."

Sonia asked, "Does walking require energy?"

"The consumption is basically the same as swimming in the Sea of ​​Knowledge." Diya pointed to the weeds on the ground and said, "There are no roads in the Time Continent. Weeds and bushes grow everywhere. There are also muddy land, water grass land, mountains, forests and other terrains. Every step takes a lot of effort. I don't know about other people, but in the month I explored the Time Continent, almost half of my soul energy was consumed by walking."

Ash and Sonia understood immediately - with the sports car as a means of transportation, they had almost no loss in walking. Although absorbing magic power would also consume soul energy, their exploration efficiency every night would be at least 50% higher than that of ordinary magicians.

And it's not just a matter of exploration efficiency. Other magicians are like out-of-town office workers who live far away from the company and have to spend two hours commuting every day; while Ash and others are like local natives who live near the company. They have two more hours of free time every day than others. Even if they don't use it to do their work, it's great just not to waste energy!

"Viewer, you know which direction to move, right?" Diya asked.

"Yeah." Ash raised his head and looked at a beam of light that was slowly moving forward in the distant sky: "Should we keep chasing the white bull?"

"Yes, we are now in the front area of ​​the White Bull. As long as we keep moving, we don't have to worry about falling into the static area." Diya tilted her head and looked at Ash: "Viewer, do you know what I am thinking?"

Ash scratched his head: "How should I know what you are thinking?"

It turns out that the viewer can’t hear my inner voice in the virtual world... Diya smiled warmly: "This is the first time I feel at ease in the virtual world. I think it’s great to explore the virtual world with the viewer. Thank you for your invitation."

Sonia's teeth were almost broken when she heard this.

Damn... this witch is so good!

Why am I so slow? I am obviously a female magician who is very good at making men fall for me with just three sentences, so why am I...

And the viewer just got a sports car...

Isn't it just...

Sonia felt something was wrong.

Although the audience treated her with a joking attitude from the beginning, forced her to train, forced her to fight, and forced her to perform the spirit summoning ceremony, but in terms of results, Sonia benefited a lot every time and suffered almost no loss.

A month ago, she was just a poor female college student with a little fame in the Water Buff Department, but now she is the top genius of Jianhua Academy, a seed of the Sword Saint famous in Galaxie, and an opponent that the University of Truth needs to be prepared for... and all these changes are due to the long sword she pulled out from the viewer's chest in her dream.

Although the viewer had been saying that they had a sacred bond, and that as long as she became stronger, the viewer would also benefit, after seeing the wonders of the magician's world, Sonia felt that the viewer might be telling the truth, and that her own improvement in strength might really be of great help to the viewer, but this did not mean that she could accept this gift with peace of mind.

She knew very well who she should thank, but the joking attitude of the audience made it difficult for her to express her gratitude. Over time, she got used to it and even took it for granted.

Perhaps this gratitude can only be expressed in a critical moment, such as when faced with a life-and-death moment. Sonia cannot guarantee that she is willing to sacrifice her life for the viewer, but she can at least guarantee that she will hesitate for a second or two before running away.

But just like you have to say it out loud to let others know your contribution, you also have to say your gratitude out loud, so that others will know that you are a gentle, kind and grateful girl... She obviously knew this truth a long time ago, and she can follow this set of social rules with anyone, so why did she forget it when interacting with the audience?

She is always kind to people she doesn't care about, so why does she show her most unreasonable and arrogant side in front of the audience?

If the witch hadn't appeared, Sonia would hardly have discovered her problem. Maybe this problem is not a problem now, but the bond is like a sword blade, which is sharp, tough, and invincible at first, but if it is not carefully maintained, the blade will rust, and rust will become brittle, and finally completely shattered under a perhaps not strong impact.

At this moment, she suddenly recalled the question she encountered in the Fate Questions and Answers: "What is the fundamental reason for the breakup between Sword Princess and the Viewer?"

Sonia exhaled softly and turned to look at Ash: "Viewer."

"Um?"

"Thank you for the Pure Spiritual Light Drink." Sonia said seriously, "If it weren't for the potion you sent, my soul injury wouldn't have recovered so quickly, and I wouldn't have been able to explore the virtual world with you tonight... Thank you."

A medicine to heal soul damage? Diya's eyes sparkled.

The cult leader stared at the red-haired swordsman, then kicked her chair.

"What are you doing?" Sonia was so angry that she was about to raise her sword: "I thank you and you still want to kick me?"

"I'm going to kick you because you want to thank me." Ash said, "I'm not being nice to you just to get your gratitude. Your becoming stronger is the best reward for me."

"And since you thanked me so formally, should I thank you if you contribute the most in the battles in the virtual world in the future? Should I thank you if you protect me? Should I thank you if you perform a brilliant operation?"

Ash looked at the virtual world map and muttered, "Besides, what's the point of just saying thank you verbally for doing nothing? It's too much trouble. We are not strangers."

Sonia stared at him blankly for a few seconds, then suddenly burst into laughter: "Then I will accept your gift with peace of mind from now on!"

"Don't be so complacent. Remember to work harder during training." Ash looked at Diya, "The same goes for you, Witch. You don't have to thank me like this. Everything I do is for future rewards. I'm not a good person."

"But I thank you from the bottom of my heart." The White Queen stretched lazily and smiled, "What is a daily routine for you is a miracle for me. Apart from saying thank you, I don't know how to express my gratitude."

"Well, Witch, what you said makes sense." Ash pondered, "If you really must thank me... then you can..."

"Can?"

"You can..." Ash turned his head to look at the continuous golden rain beside him, and said casually: "... hug me and praise me a few words. If you must kiss me, I don't mind. After all, you have to give some substantial benefits to express your gratitude, right?"

The two blinked, and then the red-haired sword lady stared at the white witch fiercely. The White Queen shook her head slightly, and the red-haired sword lady nodded.

Needless to say, the two of them had reached a consensus through eye contact - they must not comply with the wishes of the viewers, and at most they could give a few words of verbal praise, but they must not step into the vortex of internal competition!

Today he dares to ask for a hug and a kiss, what he will ask for tomorrow is unimaginable!

This trend must not be allowed to continue!
