The Queen of Scrolls never admits defeat

Chapter 731 Tracy's Gift
Moran never found acquiring new knowledge to be a boring thing.

On the contrary, she always treasures new magical theories or sudden bursts of inspiration.

However, there is never enough time, and she always has to prioritize them according to their importance and make choices. These unavoidable choices often make her feel conflicted.

It was during her time in the single-player dream instance that she first experienced what it felt like to learn freely at will.

She can follow her own pace, delve into whatever comes to mind, and practice magic however she wants, without worrying about missing out on too many things due to drastic changes in the outside world over time, nor needing to worry about time allocation.

That sense of freedom—purely seeking knowledge for its own sake—is simply addictive.

Sometimes she even thought how wonderful it would be if she could claim the single-player dream instance for herself and transform it into her own magic research lab.

Unfortunately, the rules of the dream world do not allow it, and with the recent adjustment of the mission mechanism in Dream World, this wonderful idea has to be abandoned.

"Although I don't understand why you're always so anxious about time, I completely agree with you. Learning is a joyful thing, and learning freely without constraints is even more joyful! Let me think..."

Tracy's slender fingers tapped lightly on the table, making a crisp sound: "If we're talking about acquiring a small life space similar to a dungeon, the 'Three Thousand Mirror Ruins World' is definitely the best choice. I got my inspiration for the Space Greenhouse from this world."

However, this world rarely issues missions, but when it does, it likes to use invitations as rewards. I've been there a few times, so I should still have some in stock, but I don't know if they've expired..."

As she spoke, she untied the seemingly ordinary leather pouch from her waist, and as the opening came loose, a bunch of exquisite little items spilled out.

Gemstone rings, engraved bracelets, miniature brooches... each piece exudes a unique spatial power.

“Aha! This is it!” She precisely picked out a silver ring inlaid with an emerald from the pile of spatial equipment.

Tracy skillfully took out a stack of shimmering invitations and examined them carefully, one by one.

"This one's expired...and this one too..." she muttered with a hint of regret, then suddenly exclaimed with delight, "Found it! This one still works!"

He then pushed an invitation with iridescent edges in front of Moran:

"Take this. This is an invitation to the Three Thousand Mirror Ruins World, but it's only valid for ten years."

Moran was utterly stunned by Tracy's collection. An entire space ring filled with invitations, all of them precious invitations from close friends—it was simply outrageous! "Just how many other worlds have you been to?!"

Tracy casually swirled the wine in her glass, the straw creating a small vortex in the amber liquid: "Not many, maybe a few hundred or a thousand."

She said this in a relaxed tone, as if she were discussing what she had for breakfast that day.

After taking a sip of her drink, Tracy suddenly remembered something, put down her glass, and pulled out a stack of invitations, carefully selecting one for Moran:

"If the small life space in the Three Thousand Mirror Ruins World cannot be perfectly combined with the Dream Time Disc to realize your idea, then you can go to this world to take a look. This world has formations that can control the flow of time, as well as cave heaven spaces that are more advanced than small life spaces."

Moran accepted the invitation and saw the four large seal characters "Cangyuan World" written on it in vigorous strokes. She recognized them, and... she suddenly looked up: "Isn't this... the world from which the Witch Academy's demiplane originated?" "That's right." Tracy nodded: "But I should remind you that since the Cangyuan World opened the ascension passage, it has been divided into three layers: the mortal realm, the spirit realm, and the immortal realm."

She held up three fingers and bent them one by one. "The time-travel formations and celestial cave spaces you're looking for are rare in the mortal realm. You'd probably have to ascend to the spirit realm or even the immortal realm to learn them..."

Moran carefully noted down Tracy's instructions, but said, "This is an invitation to a lifelong friendship! It's too precious! I can't accept yours for nothing..."

"Oh dear, why are you so serious?"

Tracy chuckled, casually taking out a pure white jade pendant from her waist and waving it in front of Moran. The pendant was engraved with intricate cloud patterns, with the two characters "Cang Yuan" faintly visible in the center.

"See? I have an invitation jade token from the Cangyuan Realm, which can generate a permanent invitation letter every ten years."

She casually pulled out another brand-new invitation from her jade token. "Here, another one. These things are like candy wrappers to me; I could fill a whole drawer and still not use them all!"

Moran was dumbfounded.

Senior Tracy suddenly stopped smiling, her silver-gray eyes becoming extremely serious: "The world level of Cangyuan Realm is quite high. If you really encounter danger... don't hesitate, leave immediately. Don't worry about the invitation, just come and ask me for it anytime!"

Seeing Moran's still somewhat uneasy expression, Tracy chuckled and took a sip of her drink: "You'll understand when you reach my stage; these things really don't matter."

She blinked. "If you really feel bad about it... how about this?"

Moran immediately perked up his ears.

Tracy swirled the wine in her crystal glass: "Make good use of your Book of Cards. Turn all the unique magical materials from the Three Thousand Mirror Ruins and the Azure Origin Realm into cards. It's such a hassle to make a special trip every time just for a few materials!"

Moran's eyes lit up; she knew what to give to Senior Tracy!

She summoned the Book of Cards and drew a card that she had created long ago but had never given away: "This is for you!"

This is the highest tier of discount card she has ever offered, allowing cardholders to purchase any of her cards at cost price plus 10%.

Tracy curiously took the card, raised an eyebrow and smiled, "I thought the discounts for the witches were generous enough, but I didn't expect there to be even better deals? I'll definitely be a regular customer of your card shop now~ I hope you don't go bankrupt from all that spending!"

Moran said apologetically, "Actually, if you only consider the energy consumption for card production, you can still make a little profit..."

However, if you factor in the time and cost of collecting materials and designing cards, this price is basically not profitable.

Tracy knew exactly what was going on: "Compared to the energy consumed, the knowledge required to create the cards is the most valuable!"

After thinking for a moment, she decided not to let the younger generation suffer, so she took out some of the invitations she had collected that still had a relatively long validity period: "Here, take these! They are all worlds that I have visited and found quite interesting, but they are no longer active in the Sky Well, and it is rare to see them posting quests anymore. You are so eager to learn, it would be a pity if you didn't go and take a look!"
