The Queen of Scrolls never admits defeat

Bite after bite, Greta finished the noodles in no time.

"This portion is a bit too small!" She hadn't had enough to eat! And it was all gone.

Greta stared at the noodle soup in the paper bowl, still emitting a deadly aroma, and was about to drink when there was a knock on the door.

"Greta! What are you cooking? It smells so good!"

Greta's eyes lit up, and she secretly used the Dawn Magic. A semi-transparent light screen floated before her eyes as she carried her bowl of noodles to open the door.

"Jenna, I cooked some noodles, and there's still some broth left. Would you like some?"

Janna glanced down at the bright red, murky noodle soup; the aroma was indeed emanating from it.

It didn't look very appealing, but her appetite had already been whetted.

"I'll just have a tiny sip!"

Jenna did only take a small sip, but she was already intoxicated by the aroma.

Four more doors opened beside it.

Now all the mage apprentices who worked at the Golden Globe Inn were present.

They were all drawn in by the aroma of instant noodles.

Greta invited them into her lounge, "generously" sharing some of her noodle soup with them to try, and then asked:

"If I sell this kind of noodle for 50 silver coins, would you be willing to buy a bowl and try it?"

“I definitely can’t afford to eat this every day, but I’d be happy to eat it occasionally!” Julian licked his lips.

This was just a little bit of leftover noodle soup; if it were noodles, he couldn't even imagine how delicious it would be!

"Greta, you have such amazing recipes! You could totally open a shop, and the business would definitely be booming!" Jenna exclaimed enviously.

If she had that ability, she would have gone solo long ago!

The same goes for the others.

The Golden Globe Hostel restaurant is so popular because of its unique menu.

Greta knew this too. From the moment she ate instant noodles, she realized that even the most ordinary level 1 resource cards in the card shop were not to be underestimated. If used well, they could earn her a lot of gold coins, and she would never have to worry about food and clothing again.

And what about the higher-level resource cards? They'd probably be even more valuable than she thought!
The people in front of her were her colleagues of several months, all poor mages with no background or resources, who would seize any opportunity to turn their lives around.

He is currently her best candidate for invitation, with a success rate of over 90%.

The best way would have been to secretly slip invitations into their lounges one by one.

But today they smelled the aroma of instant noodles coming from her room.

Greta had never smelled this fragrance anywhere else, and even if she hid it now, they would find it once they joined the society and saw the instant noodle card.

Instead of inviting them one by one, let's take a big gamble and invite them all at once.

Anyway, the invitation letter from the Dawn Society already contains a confidentiality clause, so she only needs to add one clause: the inviter's information must not be disclosed.

"If there were a place where you could not only get such delicious food, but also have the opportunity to obtain precious magical resources, would you be willing to join?" Greta asked. "Of course we would! But what place would look at us poor, hopeless mage apprentices who barely make ends meet?" Julian said.

Jenna was equally hopeless: "Greta, has some secret society or organization contacted you? Let me tell you, any organization that asks for membership fees is a scam! They won't give you any of those benefits they promise. I was just as naive as you were back then, and I lost at least fifty gold coins before I realized it!"

“Yes! Lance City has many mages who lack magical resources, and many people take advantage of our shortcomings and aspirations to cheat us. Don’t believe them!” Julian said.

……

The five apprentice monks took turns trying to persuade her, telling her about their own past experiences of falling into the same trap.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Greta secretly manipulated the card storage album, randomly selecting an invitation template, filling in the blank {Dawn Academy Trial Invitation}, modifying the confidentiality clause, and then materializing them, placing them in front of her five colleagues:

"Let's see!"

Jenna and Julian were taken aback when she pulled out five cards out of thin air.

Before they could ask, Greta said, "I don't have any spatial magic items. That was a power I learned to grant."

In the minds of Janna and the others, what she meant was that the so-called academy had given her the right to use spatial magic items.

They are all mages with no talent or background. Greta was able to learn such a treasure in this school, so can't they do the same?

The fact that Jenna was able to be scammed out of so many gold coins before she realized it shows that she still harbors fantasies about serendipitous encounters. At this moment, she is also the first to seriously examine the card that Greta pushed in front of her.

Julian was still hesitant: "How much membership fee did you pay?"

Greta shook her head: "I can't say anything until you accept the trial invitation. But I assure you, I've given far less than I've received; you'll see for yourselves by looking at the cards."

Julian resisted looking at the cards, afraid that if he did, he would be deceived.

He was so eager to change the status quo that he was very easy to fall into traps.

“Julian! Look! Even with my experience of being fooled ten times, I can’t see the loopholes in this invitation! It seems to be a completely favorable agreement for us.”

Jenna said, "This actually says that learning it will give you access to advanced magic spells! Such a powerful organization wouldn't stoop to fooling a few apprentices like us!"

"What do you know! If a conman doesn't create a prestigious identity for himself, who would believe him? I could say I have a rare magical structure!" Julian scoffed. "There's only one way to identify this kind of conman—see what he's trying to take from us!"
They're targeting us poor apprentices; they have nothing else to offer but the few gold coins we've painstakingly saved!

Fila, who was standing next to her, suddenly exclaimed, "They didn't say anything about paying money! They only said not to reveal the inviter or the Dawn Society."

Julian was taken aback: "No need to pay?"

He finally picked up the invitation, looking at it with disbelief: "How is this possible?"

But after he carefully read every corner of the letter, he didn't see anything about paying money.

All they really need to do is keep it a secret.

"Everyone can earn their due reward through their own efforts!"

These words resonated deeply with Julian.

And the magical resources listed above... what if they're real?
After a moment, he raised his head to look at the others' expressions: "How about... we sign and see? Anyway, besides a little gold, we don't have much else to be swindled out of." (End of Chapter)
