Alice in the Land of Steam

Chapter 96: Has the level been upgraded?

"I'm sorry, Metien!"

Miss Xie Mi lowered her head, her tone half aggrieved and half regretful: "I shouldn't have spoken to you in that tone. You were just expressing your feelings, but I wanted to deny your feelings and refused to accept your kindness. This is too arrogant and too arrogant. Just like what the eldest sister said, I never tried to understand you, so-"

She lowered her head even lower, as if she was afraid to see Metien's expression: "I'm so sorry..."

"No need to apologize, Shemy." But suddenly, a pair of hands gently rested on her shoulders, and lifted her head with a force that was not offensive, so that the bewildered look was reflected in his own eyes, and then, he showed a bright and joyful smile: "Lingge said that when you want to say sorry, just say thank you instead."

"Neither of us has done anything wrong. We just need to understand each other better. Understanding each other is a happy thing, so I should thank you."

The pink-haired little girl looked sincere and said sincerely, "Thank you, Shemy!"

Xie Mi was stunned when she heard this, and stared at Metien blankly. Their eyes looked at each other at a distance where they could hear each other's breath, conveying her sincerity and her thoughts. After a while, a beautiful smile slowly bloomed on her face, and she nodded vigorously: "Yes!"

……

A few minutes later.

"Hehe, it's not as great as you say. By the way, Shaymi, what is your ideal?"

"In fact, I have wanted to be a doctor for a long time, to save people from suffering and make them smile again. The Doctors Without Borders of the Red Cross are my idols and my goal."

"That's great, Metien. I didn't know you had such a great ideal."

……

"Let's talk about it later. By the way, Metien, since you want to be a doctor, you must know a lot of medicinal herbs, right?"

"It's okay, it's okay. My elder sister has a good temper and won't be angry. Besides, if you know more magical herbs, you can treat some fairies or other aliens like us in the future. Metien, will you look down on aliens and not help them treat them?"

"Do you mean?"

"Me? I don't know. I've never thought about it."

"That's great, Metien. I knew you would say that! If I get sick in the future, I can come to you for treatment, right?"

"Among the magical plants, there are also many that can be used as medicinal herbs. Some are planted in the underground garden of the hotel. Although my eldest sister never allows us to get close to the herb garden, if Metien wants to see it, I can take you in!"

"Eh? Isn't this a bad idea?"

"Of course not! How can a doctor stand by and watch someone die without helping? Besides, since Doctors Without Borders has no restrictions on country, ethnicity or identity, there should be no restrictions on race either!"

"That won't do. You need to make plans early so you won't feel confused later."

"Hey, can fairies get sick too?"

"I see. Then, do you want to know some herbs that are completely different from the ones you know from books?"

"Of course I did. I caught a cold last time, and my second sister said it was because I kept kicking off the quilt when I slept at night. But how is that possible? I didn't even cover myself with the quilt!"

"Well, I read medical books every day to learn about the growth habits and uses of different herbs, as well as the methods and dosage standards of different medicines... There are strict regulations. If you use the wrong medicine or exceed the dosage, something that could have saved people will become something that harms people. That would be terrible."

“Uh, hahaha…”

The passionate conversation between the two little girls could be heard through the wall. After a quarrel and then making up, their relationship became even better.

"This is youth."

Alice, who was standing at the stairs, sighed in the tone of an experienced person, then raised her head and shouted towards the corner of the corridor upstairs: "They two have reconciled, should you be relieved now?" There was no response, only the sound of footsteps gradually moving away, and then the sound of a door closing.

"Tsk!" Alice pouted, feeling bored. "I think you look even more awkward."

It's even more awkward than the ones between little girls.

She patted her butt, turned around and went upstairs to her room.

Metien's friendship experience is just an insignificant side story in this plot. Alice has more important things to do.

That is to study your own plug-in carefully.

The golden-haired maid sat cross-legged on the bed, using the soft quilt as a cushion, fiddling with the latest SLP game console in her hands. The surface of the latter exuded a faint blue glow, like an extension of deep lines, blending technology and mystery perfectly.

More importantly, it boots.

After defeating Fialli, the game console became unable to start up and took several days to recover. Alice reasonably speculated that it was because it was replenishing energy; but the same situation did not occur today. Could it be that the mice were too weak to make the game console work at its full potential?
In addition, Alice also wants to develop new games.

The eight cartridges that came with the limited edition SLP game console were used by Alice to create the turn-based RPG game "Initial Fantasy: Four Warriors" using the Sequence I cartridge. The remaining seven cartridges, if not unexpected, should all be blank cartridges, allowing Alice to play freely.

Just a cartridge of "First Fantasy" gave her the power to fight against vampires. If the remaining cartridges were also developed into games, wouldn't it be a piece of cake to complete the game?
Use the game to complete the game, yes, the fictional layer is maxed out.

It just so happened that in today's battle with the rats, Alice had already discovered the flaw of the game "Primal Fantasy", that is, its enemy search mechanism seemed to have some problems. When the game was started, it would indiscriminately pull all the surrounding hostile targets into the game, but there was no limit on the number of enemies. When the number of enemies was too large, the advantages of the turn-based game were greatly weakened.

For example, if the level of today's rats was not LV10, but LV20 or even LV25, then Alice would have died in the first round and would not have been able to wait for Medien to heal her.

At this time, other types of games are needed to make up for the disadvantages.

If conditions permit, Alice would certainly like to make a mowing game like "XXX Warriors". Unfortunately, due to the need to reflect reality, the enemy data in the system is fixed, and Alice can't force them to be tampered with into a crispy shark with only 1 HP (except for a certain girl Wang Quan), so she can only start from the game mechanism.

Alice started the game console right away.

The dark blue lines interweave into a virtual light screen, and the mysterious color enters the girl's eyes. Countless cubes overlap, pile up and link to form the counterintuitive LOGO of GI, which flashes a few times and then disappears. The progress bar flashes at a very fast speed, and with the sound of gears biting, the temple of steel and steam suddenly opens, welcoming the genius player to return to this country that belongs to her.

As soon as she entered the main interface, a large number of pop-up windows flashed before her eyes, making Alice dizzy:

"..."

Alice blinked blankly, and after a while she finally responded: "What is this!?"

　Give me some meow
