Elf Archer of Life in Another World

Qi Youfeng is indeed worried.

It's just that he himself hasn't figured out what his worries are.

If knowing that this game is getting players used to an inhuman way of thinking and making them start to become confused about themselves and even the future of mankind, this is akin to unfounded worry, but it is not enough to make him so.

There are many things on my mind.

His thoughts are very personal, and they are all concentrated on one person.

Qi Youfeng sighed almost inaudibly, and slowly followed the flow of people on the street. Amidst the loud shouts of vendors and the giggles of children running by, he calmed down for the first time today to sort out some things.

matter.

For example, why would he unconsciously explore the life circle of Nian Nian?

For example, why did he feel uncontrollably depressed for a moment when he knew he was leaving China at the end of the year?

He always knew that Niannian would leave, or that he himself would leave.

After all, in the beginning, he only stayed here temporarily because of Zimo's instructions. When the matter is settled and the crisis here is temporarily resolved, he can leave.

But he left and she left, these two actions with the same result, had a subtle difference at this time.

For another example, when Niannian told him in Hongmeng's shop with a face of surprise that his smile changed, it was as if she could see through the embarrassment in his heart.

Although he himself was not sure what was in his heart.

And later, when he said, like a joke, "I'll have fun with you for the next ten years," he had to admit that at that time, he was looking forward to ten years like this, or even longer.

Maybe he likes this girl a little bit...

Looking at a stall selling scattered jewelry on the roadside, with a thin glazed hairpin on it, Qi Youfeng couldn't help but start to question himself.

Nian Nian is too young, a little ignorant of the world, and a little weird. Maybe I just like her as a naughty sister?

Otherwise, how can I explain that I was just watching her mess around at first, but now I want to teach her well and let her get rid of those messy things.

Qi Youfeng thought of the guardian Nick whom he mentioned every year. Maybe my mood at this time would be somewhat similar to that of that guardian?

But......

Qi Youfeng remembered the covers of the two booklets he brought back before Sanchishui left. One of them had gauze and moisture on it, and there was a figure in the haze.

At that time, for some reason, he felt that the hazy figure looked very much like Nian Nian.

When he was really called out by Nian Nian, his hand had already touched the veil and was about to lift it off.

And, when I saw the pictures of beauties all over the wall in Gongzi Yan's courtyard, I had some unbearable associations.

Feeling guilty...

Qi Youfeng looked at the Hongxian store getting closer and closer, and finally attributed his care and guilt about Nian Nian to the same reason:

This girl is too young and has such a sincere temper that as an adult, I always want to protect her, but I am afraid that I will overprotect her and be misunderstood.

With such a far-from-perfect conclusion in mind, Qi Youfeng walked into Hongxian and happened to bump into shopkeeper Qin who was looking up.

"Everyone Qi? What's wrong with you?"

Qi Youfeng calmed down his emotions, took out the drawing from his arms, handed it to shopkeeper Qin, and said:

"This is the style of the cloak that will be made from that roll of leather. I want to send it to you as soon as possible so that you can start work as soon as possible."

"Is this order urgent?"

Shopkeeper Qin took it with both hands, lowered his head and considered it carefully.

"The sooner the better, how long does it take, Shopkeeper Qin, to estimate?"

Shopkeeper Qin raised his head, thought for a moment, took another look at the drawing, considered it and said:

"It's very fast to just cut it. After all, it's just a cloak. It's just that the many details on it will take some time. It will take about a day."

Qi Youfeng nodded. This was about the same time as he estimated, so he suggested:

"I won't leave for now. I can help make those details. After all, I designed them all myself, so it should be faster."

Shopkeeper Qin was overjoyed and nodded quickly: "In this case, it will be completed early tomorrow morning."

"Isn't it a little disturbing to ask you to work all night? Can I pay you some extra overtime?"

Probably due to the influence of Emperor Fu and Nian Nian, Qi Youfeng no longer regards these NPCs as mere data, but as living people.

Shopkeeper Qin’s smile was warm and his eyes were more sincere, and he said:

"It doesn't matter, my man is making a living in Tongtian Tower. Thanks to you, he has had a good rest these two days."

"Huh?" Qi Youfeng was surprised. He often came to Hongxian and had never seen the male owner of this store. He originally thought that shopkeeper Qin had not yet married.

"Moreover, my family brought back a jar of good wine a few days ago. It is said that the Nian Nian girl treated the guests to guests. If they couldn't finish it, they pretended to go home. That jar of wine is worth the rush of work.

Expenses paid.”

Shopkeeper Qin said with a smile, opened the curtain door hidden in the shop, and walked into the backyard with Qi Youfeng.

"It seems like the shopkeeper is also a drunkard?"

Qi Youfeng looked at Shopkeeper Qin's unfinished expression and joked.

"Haha, Qi, everyone is joking, but when I was young, I was really a drinker, and my relationship with my family was formed over wine."

Shopkeeper Qin said with some nostalgia, and after finishing speaking, he looked at Qi Youfeng:

"I wonder where the relationship between Mr. Qi and that girl Nian Nian came to be?"

Qi Youfeng was stunned for a moment, thinking back to the past few days and every year, and said softly:

"It's just because I don't know where the relationship came from, so I'm not sure..."

Shopkeeper Qin smiled and didn't say much. He led Qi Youfeng to the back hall, met with several master craftsmen who handled leather, and then started working in full swing.

Since he had to do business, Qi Youfeng suppressed those thoughts in his heart, and just concentrated on polishing the details of the cloak every year. From time to time, he chatted with the masters who cut the leather, and paid attention to what they were doing in some cases.

Handle every detail to facilitate timely communication.

Just like this, the night passed quickly. When daylight broke, the cloak finally took shape. It was just a matter of adding the details and finishing the work.

Shopkeeper Qin appeared at this moment and asked these people to have breakfast and take a short rest before completing the subsequent processes.

After Qi Youfeng and several other master chefs agreed, he was invited to the front hall alone by shopkeeper Qin, and sat in front of a table of home-cooked breakfast that was not rich but was exquisite and delicious.

"Shopkeeper Qin, let's have something to eat together?"

Qi Youfeng was really embarrassed to be alone, so he asked shopkeeper Qin to sit down.

Shopkeeper Qin nodded with a smile and sat down opposite Qi Youfeng. After sitting down, he did not move his chopsticks but asked:

"I just saw that there is still some leather left. I wonder what Qi and everyone are going to do with it?"

"I also saw the remaining leather, but unfortunately it's still a little bit small. No matter what I do, it won't be enough."

Qi Youfeng said with some pity, mainly because the remaining leather materials were scattered pieces, no more than the size of a palm.

"Actually, I have a suggestion that can just use all these leather materials."

"Oh? I wonder what Shopkeeper Qin has in mind?"

"This idea will make that girl Nian Nian make another trip."

Shopkeeper Qin covered his mouth and chuckled, then continued:

"I thought that I could use those fragments and other leather materials to splice them on the leather jacket and leather pants worn by Miss Nian Nian, and re-tailor them for her. Not only would they fit her better, but they would also be more beautiful. Those suede ones

Even if the characteristics are not good, there will be some reservations.”

While listening, Qi Youfeng sketched out several possible design plans in his mind and nodded in agreement:

"It is indeed possible, as long as you pay a little attention to the color matching and don't look like it has been patched."

"The tailoring work and the extra leather are all on me. After all, I have to thank her."

Shopkeeper Qin said very generously that it was just a little extra leather and some simple work anyway, so there was no need to calculate the cost.

"Then I'll thank Shopkeeper Qin on her behalf first."

Qi Youfeng hugged shopkeeper Qin and accepted the favor.

Shopkeeper Qin smiled and said he was polite, and quickly asked Qi Youfeng to eat breakfast while it was hot. Qi Youfeng was no longer polite and slowly processed the food on the table.

After only taking a few bites, Qi Youfeng seemed to have remembered something. He paused with his chopsticks, looked sideways at Shopkeeper Qin, and asked in Shopkeeper Qin's puzzled eyes:

"Shopkeeper Qin just said it doesn't fit?"

Shopkeeper Qin reacted briefly, knowing what Qi Youfeng was asking, and nodded with a smile:

"That girl Nian Nian is still in the growth stage, so the clothes on her body will naturally gradually become ill-fitting. But for the time being, it's just a little bit, and most people can't see it. She probably doesn't feel anything herself, but among us,

In the eyes of people who deal with sizes every day, the slightest bit of misfit is like a thorn in the side.”

Shopkeeper Qin playfully laughed at himself as he spoke, but he was shocked to find that the chopsticks in Qi Youfeng's hand slipped from his fingertips and fell to the table with a slight smack.

And his whole body seemed to have been struck by lightning. He sat blankly at the table, no matter how many times Shopkeeper Qin called him, there was no response.

Finally, Qi Youfeng came to his senses amidst shopkeeper Qin's increasingly alarmed shouts. After apologizing a little embarrassedly, he picked up the chopsticks on the table, picked up the things mechanically, put them into his mouth, and ate them all.

What happened, he had no idea.

Shopkeeper Qin saw Qi Youfeng's preoccupied look, so he wisely found an excuse to leave, leaving this place to Qi Youfeng.

Qi Youfeng saw the back of shopkeeper Qin walking further and further away, and slapped his chopsticks on the table. He closed his eyes and seemed to be meditating. Only his clenched hands expressed the intense emotions in his heart at this time:

I am growing taller every year, growing up??

Doesn’t it mean that they are adults at level 40? How come they continue to grow?

No, won’t they continue to grow as adults?

But,

Qi Youfeng thought back to the mages of the Silver Button Mercenary Group who had briefly cooperated with them. Those people were all around level 60. If they could really grow up like real life, wouldn't these people all have to be like this?

A middle-aged face?

But,

No, those people are still young and seem to never grow old.

But why does it keep growing every year?

There were also calluses on her fingers that he accidentally felt, and the bruises on her fingers that appeared as if she were alive.

Who is she?

Or is she actually not a human being?
