Reborn as a short-lived loli who can only live for three years

Since we can't meet up for the time being, we can only continue exploring at the original pace.

Shi Zhimeng took out the mineral detector she brought from her backpack, and referring to the ripple intensity, she walked in front again.

"How did the mechanism just now get triggered? Did we accidentally step on something somewhere?" Yu Liu couldn't understand what happened just now, because he had never heard any unusual noises from anywhere.

Magicians who manipulate wind attributes tend to have sharper hearing.

"Don't worry, some mechanisms will be triggered naturally when they sense us passing by!" Shi Zhimeng answered casually.

"This... is even more worrying, right?" Yu Liu became a little nervous.

In a complex building full of unknowns, it is hard not to be nervous because you never know when a trap will pop up.

Continuing to descend, the footsteps of several people intertwined, the sound of the ore detector became louder and louder, but Shi Zhimeng stopped.

"What's wrong, Senior Shi?"

After asking this question, Yu Liu's head was rubbed by Shi Zhimeng, making it a mess.

"?" Yu Liu widened his eyes and asked her with an incredulous look while combing his hair.

"Ahem." Shi Zhimeng looked like an elder and stood among the group of people.

"Although this expedition is for collecting materials, it is also a kind of team building! It's a good opportunity to bring you closer together, you two! You were so lifeless and lacked enthusiasm throughout the whole process!"

She pointed back and forth at Ivy and Ye Jiyan.

Yu Liu finally realized that the rough pat on the head just now was actually a compliment? !

"How can we get closer by just walking normally?" Ivy retorted unhappily.

Moreover, her relationship with Ye Jiyan was not as distant as Shi Zhimeng saw, they just had a bad relationship.

"How easy is it?! Let me show you how to do it!" Shi Zhimeng seemed to have heard some shocking joke. She pulled Yu Liu over and put her hand on his shoulder.

His expression instantly turned into an amiable smile.

"Yuru~ How are your studies going lately?"

"Uh, pretty good."

"How are you getting along with your classmates? Don't create conflicts!"

"There are no conflicts, and no one dares to cause trouble to me."

"That's great! What subject is Yuru weakest in? Maybe I can help coach you?"

"My grades in all subjects are actually pretty good. The only low one is probably the foreign language class."

"Really? Really? The early foundation of foreign language classes is very important! So isn't it easy to get closer like this? Come on, start chatting!" Tokizhi Meng suddenly changed her expression in the middle of the conversation and looked at the other two.

Ivy was speechless about the above chat.

"Are you an elder..."

She didn't think such a dry greeting would bring them closer.

"How do you know if you don't try? Friendships all start with random chats!"

The ore detector was still beeping, and Tokieda Meng stood there, looking forward to their performance.

Ye Jiyan was also like a spectator, with a smile on his face, deliberately waiting for her to speak first.

……

……

After a long silence, Ivy turned her head away somewhat embarrassedly.

"No... Go find some ore."

Ye Jiyan then spoke quietly: "Why don't you try another method, President?"

Shizhi Meng held his chin and thought: "There are indeed shy children who come to visit our home. It is not good to be too tough."

The identity she assumed was indeed that of an elder in the family.

The corridor was as complicated as a maze. They stopped at the place where the signal was strongest. The wall there had irregular protrusions with patterns. The protruding material was dull gray and extremely cold.

"These are the Source-breaking Stones!" Yu Liu was very happy. He took out the excavation materials and the small bag and questioned Shi Zhimeng with his eyes.

"Well! Just dig with confidence." Shi Zhimeng was still thinking hard.

Ignoring her, Ivy also handed Ye Jiyan the tools and watched him knock on the wall again and again.

After a while, Shi Zhimeng suddenly had an idea and thought of a good idea.

"Right, we can start with the name! Wanye calls me A-meng, and we have a good relationship!"

"So let's think of a name for each other first, what do you think, Ivy?"

Although he didn't know why he was chosen first, Ivy still wanted Shi Zhimeng to give up this unreasonable idea.

"Cross-dressing pervert." She said mercilessly.

"Hey, hey." A hint of flaw finally appeared on Ye Jiyan's calm face.

Although she didn't know the specific reason, Tokieda Meng burst into laughter after hearing it, and the entire corridor was filled with her echo.

When she had laughed enough, she pointed at herself expectantly: "What about me?"

"Bad guy."

Shi Zhimeng continued to laugh with her head tilted back until she wiped away the tears from her laughter. Then she showed a serious expression: "Stop making trouble. I am seriously worried about you guys."

"..."

After thinking for a few seconds, Shizhi Meng had an idea. She pointed at Ivy and demanded firmly, "Listen carefully. From now on, you have to call Xiaoye brother."

"……what?"

Ye Jiyan seemed very satisfied with this arrangement.

"The title of sister has been taken by Wanye, so just call me Sister A Meng! And we will call you Xiao Wei!" Shi Zhi Meng was very satisfied with her arrangement.

Ivy just thought it was too corny.

Although she is the youngest, how can she be like a spoiled child?

“…Why do you have to do this? Wouldn’t it be better to just call them seniors?” Ivy was a little resistant.

"That's of course because..." Shi Zhimeng smiled and embraced her, pulled her aside and whispered to her.

"You are an orphan, aren't you? Having more brothers and sisters will make you feel more like a family~"

"..."

After saying that, Shi Zhimeng turned to look at Yu Liu who was left out and said affectionately: "Yu Liu can also call A Meng sister and Ye brother~"

Yu Liu was so scared that he quickly waved his hands: "I'll just call you senior."

The problem of the name was solved, and Shizhi Meng was satisfied.

After collecting the ore here, they continued to go deeper and look for new ore directions.

Square platforms with mechanical pillars are often encountered along the way. After being injected with magic power, the platform slowly descends and connects with the ground below.

The magic power of illusion continued to spread far away. Ivy also sensed the location of the other team. They were also moving smoothly towards the lower level.

The ore detector responded again, and the wave pointed forward, and ahead was an open-air covered bridge.

The wind from outside kept blowing into the building, bringing the smell of rust and a biting chill.

"Xiao Wei."

A voice I had never heard before came from beside me.

Ivy looked up and found Ye Jiyan was also looking at her quietly.

"What are you doing?"

Ye Jiyan looked at her for a while, then raised the corners of his mouth and said jokingly: "Now, shouldn't you call me brother and let me hear it?"

"..."

Evie got goosebumps.
