Mohe City, located in the northernmost part of China.

Despite the frigid temperature of minus 15 degrees Celsius, tourists were enjoying their leisure time skiing.

In winter, the time when the sun rises is very short, making lunchtime the most crowded time for people.

“Ugh… this d*mn cold is unbearable. I want to go home and order some Roze Mala Xiang Guo from Mei Tuan, okay?”

Long Yangyang, who was working part-time at the ski resort lift, couldn’t believe her eyes.

A Pomeranian was coming down the slope while snowboarding with its owner.

“Wow, how can a dog snowboard… So incredibly well!”

“Hey Yangyang! Go tell that ridiculous person over there that pets are not allowed in the ski resort!”

“Okay.”

After enjoying some exercise, the Pomeranian turned around and relieved itself on the pure white snow.

Yangyang stopped the owner who tried to walk past without noticing.

“Excuse me, but pets are not allowed in the ski resort.”

“What? Are you just a part-timer? I’ll handle it myself.”

A sharp voice pierced Yangyang’s ears.

‘Oh, this is 100% a troublesome customer.’

The big data accumulated over a long time was always right.

Nevertheless, she maintained her smile.

“I’m sorry, but ma’am, that line is for the lift. The exit is over there.”

“Ugh, it’s so annoying. I could just put it in my bag before getting on. Are you satisfied now, miss?”

“Pets are generally not allowed. Please leave it at the resort and come back.”

“Why are you being so strict? I’ve been skiing here for over ten years.”

“If so, please clean up that smelly poop too. The dog has no shame, just like its owner.”

“What did you just say?”

“Argh, woof woof woof!”

In the face of the troublesome customer, Yangyang didn’t back down at all. Especially not against a dog.

While the two raised their voices, the dog barked vigorously in the middle.

The troublesome woman took off her helmet and then threw an aura at Yangyang.

Thud-

“Ugh!”

The crowd was stirred.

With a dull sound, Yangyang’s body was pushed back.

She landed hard on her behind and clutched her throbbing arm.

‘Did she just throw an aura at me? My arm hurts like hell…!’

Yangyang had trained in martial arts, so she was no ordinary girl.

If a regular person who couldn’t use an aura was hit in the helmet, they would have likely broken a bone.

The troublesome guest, holding the Pomeranian in her arms, waved her long red hair.

“Tsk, you messed with the wrong person today. Violating safety inspection, labor standards, and hygiene management—should I get the ski resort shut down until winter ends? I came from the Beiming faction in Harbin!”

Yangyang swallowed her groan, grimacing.

She had heard the name of that sect before.

But her skills were real.

In China, it was not uncommon for sects to use their power and laws to occupy others’ business places.

Soon after, the ski resort manager rushed over and bowed his head.

“Hmph, I’ll have to hear an apology from that woman!”

“Apologize, Yangyang! Right now!”

“…”

“Apologize quickly, or I’ll fire you!”

“What do you mean by firing me, sir? If you shut down for three months, you’ll have to sue for damages too.”

“Th-that’s right, a lawsuit too… You don’t have any money, so hurry up and swallow your pride!”

But Yangyang.

She was a woman who had never bowed her head in front of injustice her entire life, despite struggling day by day.

Her long, slender middle finger popped up.

“Don’t say I have no money. I’m making money today and yesterday.”

“Have you lost your mind?”

The Beiming faction’s mage flared up and swung her fist.

Yangyang wrapped her aura around her as thick as possible.

But since her opponent was a skilled fighter, she couldn’t guarantee her safety.

‘d*mn, that girl looks like she’s from a rich family. I hope she gives me a good settlement…’

At that moment, a gentle mana brushed against Yangyang’s nose.

A palm suddenly emerged from the mist, accompanied by an avalanche of power.

‘Whose technique is this…?’

[Eight Trigrams – Cloud-Flowing Palm]

Boom—!

The shockwave pushed the snow in all directions.

‘Did someone just fly?’

Yangyang was dumbfounded.

What seemed like a rather skilled mage was thrown over ten meters, buried in the snow.

The woman quickly regained her senses, jumped up, and shouted.

“Ugh… Who was that b*stard in the mask! Who dares to use martial arts in front of the Beiming faction… Ah!”

Even with a privileged attitude, one should know when to back off.

“What age do you think this is, to intimidate innocent citizens with sect power? Beiming faction?”

The girl who said this wore a thin uniform in the -15 degree weather, in the well-developed outdoor year of 2053.

If it wasn’t a bad idea, there was only one answer.

“Are you from the Wudang faction?”

“Is she the successor of the Wudang faction…?”

A potential top figure in future 34 million Wen.

“How have you been, Yangyang unnie? I’ve had a hard time finding you since you keep changing your name.”

The ski resort manager’s mouth dropped open.

How could a mere ski resort part-timer be the successor of the Wudang faction?

“Is this the person Luo’an is looking for?”

Naita Mei followed behind and revealed herself.

The ski resort was buzzing with the sound of clicking cameras.

“Why are you running away? If you’re innocent, just stay still.”

“Eek!”

“The security in China has really gone downhill.”

Taking advantage of the chaos, Naita Hiroki caught the Beiming faction mage with a ski pole.

As this dramatic situation unfolded, Yangyang’s brain short-circuited.

“When are you planning to quit your part-time job? We’ll be waiting.”

The fragile girl who lived in the trash pile had become a lady a head taller than herself.

Yangyang took a look behind and said.

The ski resort manager gasped.

“I was just fed up and about to quit.”

It was a rare sweet vacation given after a long time.

But the habit of getting up early had ingrained in her body, so she woke up at 6 AM automatically.

Stretching out her arms while looking at the sky outside, where stars were faintly greeting her.

“Come on, Polaris, give me strength.”

“Hmm… Just a little longer… Ah!”

She stretched as much as she could before entering the capsule.

Xiao thought that it might fix her height in optimal condition a bit.

But she didn’t really know if it worked.

[Activation: Alchemist’s Mirror]

The memories the Alchemist’s Mirror shows me are different every day.

But generally, it shows around three to four scenes in rotation, and today included this time last year.

On a day when a snowstorm was blowing, we had turkey for dinner.

Saetbyeol had to do the dishes because she lost the steal-the-thief game, and I stuck close to Dad, admiring the heavy snowfall.

Today feels like it will be a calm start to the day.

“Hmm? Is it snowing now?”

White cotton blankets began to pile up on the window sill.

The snow started falling heavily as if a hole had opened in the sky.

I opened the door leading to the next room and walked toward Saetbyeol’s bed.

Saetbyeol was deeply asleep, not even sensing my presence.

“Should I give her a call?”

I had invited some special guests to the Rich Manor for Monica.

Since I was one of the guests here too, it felt a bit odd.

But who cares.

Now this place feels as comfortable as my own home.

“Hello? Yeah, where are you now?”

The European Super Cup among Germany, Italy, Switzerland, and Sweden was approaching in two weeks.

I had supported Monica since she was getting a lot of hate.

But honestly, I couldn’t guarantee her victory either. I just took a shot in the dark.

If Monica turns out to be an unimaginably clumsy player and makes the same mistakes again, there would be nothing I could do.

Before that, I had no choice but to break through the wall blocking Monica.

[We just entered Italian airspace. Okay? I’m talking with Name, should I switch?]

[&!#&$!&@]

[Anyway, it seems like we’ll arrive in about two hours.]

[Nama-chan! We’ll be there soon!]

Luo’an and Naita Mei’s voices alternated.

“That’s great. Then we can have lunch together here. Be careful and hang up.”

A few days ago, the Naita siblings had told me they found the benefactor of Luo’an from their childhood.

A person who had gone bankrupt while running a restaurant in Heilongjiang province and was wandering about.

Before the name change, she was Zhang Xinyan, and after the name change, she became Long Yangyang; currently, she had become a hot topic among Chinese netizens.

“I don’t have any money, I’m making money today and yesterday.”

Her defiant attitude while dealing with the wealthy sent a significant message.

Even though the Communist Party had collapsed, oppression against the common people was still evident.

And that class inequalities still prevailed in society.

“Hello?”

I kept making calls to other friends besides them.

Participants I faced at the national exchange exhibition were among them.

However, Levi Hooning Junior wasn’t able to participate due to scheduling conflicts, and Soobyan Omar Hakim didn’t even reply to me.

“The participation rate is better than I thought, huh?”

For reference, I hadn’t even mentioned yet why we’re meeting.

About 15 minutes later, Saetbyeol’s ear twitched slightly.

“Mmm. Hmm? Why am I on your bed… I can’t sleep…”
