Being an otaku in the world of American comics

#271 - return

With a flash of light, and after a burst of shifting light and shadows, Liang Yue finally returned to his own stronghold world.

Besides himself, the little girl Yang Buhui, who had just bid farewell to her father and whose eyes were a little red, was also with him.

In comparison, Xiao Zhao, who called herself a maidservant, had already asked Liang Yue to send her into the stronghold world a few days earlier.

It seemed that Zhang Dajiao Zhu's previous intention to send her away had hurt her quite a bit.

A whole year had passed, and compared to how it looked when he left, the space on the top floor of the library had undergone obvious changes.

The overall layout hadn't changed, but some details had become more lifelike.

Some unintentional patterns, metal products, decorative flowers, and even lampshades outside the lighting torches, etc.

Looking out, the entire brightly lit village below was the same.

From this, Liang Yue could also see that with the continuous addition of various strange objects from the heavens and worlds, the stronghold world in front of him was gradually moving away from the blueprint of MC and towards diversification.

Regarding this point, even the clothing搭配 of the women had begun to become diverse.

Of course, Liang Yue felt that the deeper reason was probably because they were a little bored here...

"Welcome back~!"

Amidst the enthusiastic welcome of Teacher Jingxiang, Alwyn, and others, Liang Yue gave each of the women he hadn't seen for a long time a warm hug~

Afterwards, this guy picked up Nana, who had grown up a bit, and sat down at the dining table.

A year had passed, and it wasn't just the surrounding environment that had changed, but also the women in the stronghold world had inevitably undergone some changes.

The most obvious of these was naturally Nana.

After all, the little girl was still young, only eight years old, and it was the time when she was growing.

In just over half a year, she had grown a whole head taller, her skin had become fairer, and it had become more hydrated and shiny. Set off by her curly dark brown hair, she had already begun to show a bit of alluring beauty.

Takashiro Saya had also grown a lot taller. In the year he hadn't seen her, her height had actually surpassed her mother's.

Hmm~ Her figure was also hotter~

Nan Lixiang's skin, which had originally been tanned to a wheat color due to years of military training and special police duty missions, had now become a piece of crystal white.

However, the wildness on her face remained, and her personality was still a bit brash and carefree.

Besides that, other people had also undergone some changes, more or less~

After all, the environment in the stronghold world was still very nourishing, and at this time, the women had already achieved some success in martial arts cultivation.

There was also the Earth Spiritual Milk, a consumable that could be continuously produced, to assist them.

Moreover, with the scavenging and addition of a pile of divine skill secrets such as "Zixia Divine Art", "Nine Heavens Lightning Control True Scripture", "Yijin Jing", "Xisui Jing", "Qiankun Great Shift", etc., the Zixue Senior Sister and others also decisively changed their cultivation methods.

After a period of time, the temperament on their bodies had also begun to change.

Only the giant eagle Rachel, after a year, still looked as heroic as ever...

However, perhaps because of eating dragon meat for a long time, the little female eagle's original brown feathers had now been dyed with a touch of crimson.

I don't know if there will be phenomena such as bloodline evolution~

Looking back at Liang Yue himself, after experiencing the chaotic world of military formations and martial arts Jianghu during this whole year, his body had also undergone no small changes.

Of course, these changes were mainly concentrated in temperament~

If you look at it from the outside alone, in addition to relying on the breakthrough of the Xiantian realm, he had grown three or four centimeters taller again, raising his altitude to 1.92 meters.

Whether it was his figure or appearance, there were not many obvious changes.

On the contrary, because of the nourishment of Xiantian zhenqi and spiritual-level precious medicines, he had faintly begun to become a little younger...

After everyone took their seats, just as Liang Yue was raising his wine glass, wanting to take advantage of this opportunity to give an opening speech and express his b feelings at the dinner table.

The system's sudden prompt directly interrupted his thoughts~

"Ding~! The upgrade conditions for the stronghold world have now been met. May I ask the host, whether to upgrade the stronghold world immediately?"

I almost forgot about this. When I got the Earth Crystal before, the system said that the stronghold world could be upgraded, but I had to wait until he returned~

"Upgrade~ Uh, wait a minute! Wait a minute first~"

Saying that, Liang Yue suddenly looked to the side, to the little female eagle who was standing in front of her special food trough filled with dragon meat, staring at Little King Kong with big eyes, and then said.

"Rachel, the stronghold world will be upgraded soon. There may be some uncontrollable changes in the outside world later. I suggest you'd better bring your group of little eagles to the village."

Teacher Jingxiang's reaction was surprisingly fast at this time. After hearing Liang Yue's words, she almost immediately stood up from her seat, and climbed onto Rachel's broad back in a few steps.

"I'll go too~"

Seeing this, Takashiro Saya seemed to also care about her mount, and jumped onto the giant eagle.

Alwyn next to her also stepped forward without hesitation, and stood on the eagle's back silently.

The others seemed a little hesitant. After more than a year of feeding and companionship, the women had mostly established a good relationship with the giant eagle cubs.

After all, this was related to their mount training plan, but Rachel's back obviously couldn't seat everyone.

However, in fact, after more than a year of growth, most of these giant eagle cubs were already half-grown and could fly on their own.

Teacher Jingxiang and the others were probably only going this time because of emotional needs.

"Ree~ ~ ~" "Gah Gah~" "Chirp Chirp!" ...

Soon, after only half an hour or so, accompanied by a burst of eagle cries from the sky, a dark mass suddenly swept over from the distance.

They accompanied the bright stars in the sky, swept up the howling wind, and in just a dozen breaths, they had come to the village from the end of the line of sight.

Swish swish swish~

Immediately afterwards, they flapped their wings one after another, fluttering down onto the top floor and eaves of the library.

There were as many as two hundred of them...

"This is just me, if someone else came, they might not be able to afford to raise them~"

Looking at these eagle cubs, most of whom were in the molting period and still had a naive and plump appearance, Liang Yue couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth at this time.

He gently stroked the back of a little eagle next to him that was already at his chest, and a smell of bird feathers and bird droppings suddenly climbed onto his palm...

"Gah Gah~"

Rachel on the other side was also straightforward at this time. After letting Liang Yue and the others look at the "goods", she directly flapped her wings and chirped a few times.

A group of eagle cubs, almost filling the wide roof, heard the sound, and immediately flapped their wings and flew away, falling into various corners of the village with a flurry of falling gray down feathers.

Liang Yue also took action at this time, putting a layer of Zixia shield on the table full of delicious food.

After everything had settled down, he withdrew his zhenqi and then said to the system.

"Start upgrading~"

As Liang Yue's voice fell, in an instant, a familiar light-colored membrane enveloped the entire village again

The world outside the membrane also began to change accordingly.

In the sky, pieces of stars and clouds appeared alternately, and day and night began to rotate rapidly.

So fast, light and darkness seemed to be constantly overlapping at this moment.

On the hillside outside, the plants that were already unusually lush originally also changed again at this moment.

Some trees withered quickly, eventually turning into a piece of sawdust and dust.

Some began to grow madly, constantly growing larger and taller at a speed visible to the naked eye, and then became towering trees.

At the same time, these trees that had grown into giant trees also constantly competed for the living space of other similar trees around them.

After a while, under the witness of sunlight and rain, another group of trees withdrew from the competition, and then slowly became decadent and withered.

On the ground, various shrubs, small flowers, grass, wild vegetables, mushrooms, medicinal materials, etc., also began to thrive at this time.

One crop after another, constantly growing and decaying.

During the process, flowers bloomed, fruits were formed, and then they became seeds, and another round of life was re-evolved.

The process of prosperity and desolation, growth and decay, seemed to be beckoning to this world.

Everyone on the top floor of the library was watching the scenes of vicissitudes of life outside at this time, and they couldn't help but fall into silence and contemplation.

Even Teacher Jingxiang, who was originally cute and adorable, rarely showed a bit of thought and emotion at this time.

"Ding~! The estimated duration of this stronghold world upgrade is three days. Relevant update content has been sent to the system light curtain. Please check it in time."
