Fifty-six elves stood inside the mall, their clothing and appearance distinctively out of place, drawing curious glances from many around them.
These gazes were so fervent that the elves found it hard to calm themselves.
Sasa brought a few Hunters from the Red Rose Warband to maintain order and act as bodyguards, preventing the overly enthusiastic residents of No.2 Crimson from frightening the elves.
Standing behind the counter, a salesperson pitching the latest personal terminals to Sasa couldn't help but glance at the elves standing behind her—they looked exactly as legends described, and all elves were exceedingly beautiful.
It seed there was no trace of ugliness in the genetic makeup of elves; even older elves did not look unpleasant. Not to ntion that most elves who ca to Blue Star for their studies were young, and even those slightly older hadn't reached an age considered elderly, so they were all handso and beautiful.
"Co, pick a style you like."
Sasa finally negotiated a price with the salesperson, urging the elves to quickly select a personal terminal.
Most personal terminals were eyepieces, but even as eyepieces, their shapes varied, and their colors differed.
As long as it covered the entire field of view, it could project images and text visible only to the user.
So personal terminals ca in styles like watches and necklaces, projecting holographic images seen by others as well, preferred by modern individuals who didn't mind privacy. Only so nostalgic people used these styles of terminals.
Because Yan Luo, Sasa, and Yevgenia were using eyepiece-style personal terminals, the elves instinctively chose the sa style.
However, so elves who were more independent chose the watch style.
Once the personal terminal style was selected, the manufacturer was asked to switch the terminal system's display language to Elvish, which just took a few minutes.
With personal terminals equipped for the elf exchange students, Yan Luo and Sasa sent them back to the apartnt buildings.
They gave the elves a task, asking them to follow the manual to learn how to use the personal terminals and add Yevgenia's contact information, which was important for their future studies.
After assigning this task to the elves, Yan Luo and Sasa left, but Yevgenia stayed.
This was at Yevgenia's own request.
These elves were her compatriots, and she considered herself the first elf in over eight thousand years to co to the human world, feeling obligated to guide these 'youngsters' in adapting to human society.
Simultaneously, this was Yevgenia's way of proving to Sasa that she was cured of her illness, no longer needing Sasa constantly, allowing Sasa to rely on her more without maintaining so much distance.
Returning to her dormitory, Suniya imdiately fiddled with her personal terminal according to the manual, swiftly adding Yevgenia as a friend.
This wasn't her first exposure to human communication thods' convenience, but it was her first personal experience.
She wondered, if Alfheim had such things, could she communicate daily with her father and sister?
Humans are truly fortunate...
Suniya asked Yevgenia for Yan Luo's and Sasa's account details, promptly adding them as friends.
Thanks to Yevgenia's reminder, when Suniya sent her friend request, Yan Luo found her na among many requests and accepted it, then cleared and blocked all other friend requests.
Suniya was very excited; this was her first ti using a personal terminal to contact others. Even if there wasn't much to discuss, she chatted enthusiastically with Yan Luo.
Soon, it was noon, and Yevgenia sent a mini-program to the exchange students, tasking them with learning to use it for ordering als.
This mini-program was developed by the Hunter's Guild restaurant. Since the elves had no money for takeout and no cafeteria to use, the Hunter's Guild would provide their als temporarily.
Suniya discovered the nu within the mini-program was even richer than their breakfast nu that morning.
Clicking in, she could see the ingredients and techniques used for the dishes and even instructional videos.
Given modern people's laziness, even after watching instructional videos, they wouldn't be interested in cooking themselves, or they might do it once or twice before returning to ordering takeout or letting household robots cook.
Self-learning was one thing, but to make household robots cook specific dishes, they'd have to pay a licensing fee.
Suniya wasn't aware of these aspects; she only knew that despite being confined to the city, humans had more diverse nus than elves.
This strengthened her resolve to learn science and technology even more.
But for now, she needed to deal with her hunger!
As Suniya was selecting her desired delicacies from the variety of nu options, a sudden cold breeze blew in from the balcony, causing her to shiver and contemplate closing the balcony door—only to be shocked by the sight of a gigantic ice flower blossoming in the town's center.
Suniya blinked, then rubbed her eyes vigorously to confirm whether she was seeing things correctly.
The next second, the gigantic ice flower shattered abruptly, breaking into countless ice fragnts, which dissipated in the air as wisps of cold vapor, drifting toward the sky.
"What's... that?"
Fresh out of the shower, sensing the commotion outside, Yan Luo hadn't even had ti to put on a shirt, running barefoot into the street for a glimpse of the ice flower above. He quickly shifted his gaze back to the ground, looking at the ice flower's origin before freezing in place.
The origin of the ice flower was Yulia's leased villa!
aning...
Yan Luo's heart stirred. In a single step, he appeared at the villa's doorstep, pressing the doorbell.
Almost instantly, the villa's door opened, revealing a tall, strikingly beautiful woman with long black and white hair cascading over her shoulders. She seed about twenty-five or twenty-six.
Yan Luo tilted his head and asked, "Is Ms. Bilukova inside? How is she?"
In response, the beautiful woman broke into hearty laughter, brushed her front hair aside, and replied with mature confidence, "Yan the Younger, didn't you recognize ? Hmm, you've got a nice physique!"
Startled for a second, Yan Luo was then utterly shocked, "Ms. Bilukova?!"
Yulia had never seen Yan Luo look so surprised and imdiately captured the mont with her eyepiece.
After snapping several photos, she sent them to Sasa, Wang Lingyu, Wu Zechuan, and others, letting them share in Yan Luo's amazed expression before turning her attention back, nodding slightly, "It's ."
"You... how did this happen?" Yan Luo's head was filled with countless questions.
Before he headed to Alfheim, Yulia was still spright with white hair, not to ntion it's only been over twenty days, and she'd beco young?
The next mont, Yan Luo realized, "You've beco Sequence One?"
Yulia couldn't possibly turn back the clock for no reason; sothing must have occurred, and linking it to the enormous ice flower recently seen above the city, it undoubtedly ant Yulia had beco Sequence One.
Over twenty days ago, Yan Luo had heard news of Yulia finding the right direction, but recent events had overwheld him, and he forgot.
Only now did he realize.
"Yes, I'm truly Sequence One." Yulia smiled, nodding, "I've now beco an Extraordinary, with the Engraving thoroughly integrated into ."
Rather than controlling the Engraving, she let it resonate with herself—that was the correct path to Sequence One.
Upon becoming Sequence One, a genuine Extraordinary, the power that once belonged to the Engraving displayed itself in Yulia's body, enhancing her constitution and enabling her to freely wield the cold winds and ice.
Yan Luo looked questioningly at Yulia's hair, "Wasn't your previous hair color blonde?"
"Hahaha, Yan the Younger, how old do you think I am? My hair turned all white long ago, and the blonde was dyed. This is indeed my natural hair color now." Yulia ran her fingers through her thick hair, unable to suppress her joy.
Her body had rejuvenated, no longer suffering from aging's distress. No one could refuse such a transformation.
Yulia was imnsely delighted; even after taking Saint's Marrow, her body wasn't as healthy as it is now.
Moreover, she's currently Blue Star's only Sequence One Engraver!
World number one!
