Comprehensive network wizard, magic emperor.

Chapter 367 Hot Selling, Buying Eyes, Upgrading
After spending a day and two nights in the instance, Lin Bo returned to the real world.

When the teleportation channel is opened, the entire observable universe, spanning hundreds of billions of light-years, is open to him.

The immeasurable amount of information flooded into Tianju's field of vision, causing him to pause for a moment. Only after his mind had adjusted to the vastness and whispers of the space did he begin to move forward.

"Phew." Lin Bo checked his earnings and breathed a sigh of relief.

In addition to the three extremely valuable magical language dictionaries, there was also a graduation gift from the archmage.

He gifted Lin Bo the Mystic Mercury he had on hand. These materials would refresh after each dungeon run, so even if Lin Bo looted the Archmage's entire fortune, he wouldn't suffer any loss. The graduation gift was merely symbolic.

Lin Bo asked his imprinted body and learned that the other party also had a comprehensive network panel, but most of the functions had completely disappeared. Only the player's inventory was available, and comprehensive network-limited items such as dungeon invitations were nowhere to be found.

It's not uncommon for players to become characters in dungeon storylines, since some dungeons punish death by assimilation and corruption. While Lin Bo's imprint retains complete memories, he is no longer considered a player.

The Editors Guild kept the Imprint in the instance because he was indispensable and would not attempt to disrupt the storyline.

When Lin Bo returned, the second and third batches of Lighthouse Academy passes were already available on the forum and sold out instantly. There were also many discussion posts offering high prices for scalped tickets.

The reason this dungeon is so popular is because the first players to try it out publicized it extensively—no, to be precise, they boasted about it. Log in to receive top-tier equipment, there are absolutely no risks due to non-subjective factors, and a near-divine figure personally answers your questions—it's truly a sacred place for spellcasters to hone their skills.

Such special instances, which benefit millions of online game players, can generally maintain their popularity for many years.

Warriors have various combat dungeons, rogues have assassination and stealth training courses, and paladins have high-end organizations like the Purification Monastery. Among the many mage sanctuaries, the Lighthouse Academy is quite modest.

However, despite its simplicity, the products it produced were simply too tough.

In any trading platform or online marketplace, Power Runes are charged per word. In this instance, thousands or hundreds of them are produced simultaneously, and the cost is almost zero—it's simply a matter of attending classes and taking exams.

There are already discussion threads from Lighthouse Academy in the strategy section of the Zongwang Forum.

With a little effort, obtaining a copy of "Gudorei Language" is quite easy, while those with greater skill can acquire "Animal Star Language," and the conditions for obtaining "Dragon Language" are currently unknown.

These magical word dictionaries would make even legends envious and eager to try them out.

The conditions for completing the story missions are quite lenient; you can rely solely on your exam scores, but if you're bold enough, you can also try a one-on-one duel with the mage. Even if you lose, as long as you demonstrate your skills, you'll still gain recognition.

[Flying Sword Apprentice] is a good example. According to his own brief message, this dungeon training not only gave him knowledge, but also a secret technique inheritance of great significance.

All these factors have led to the high demand for the game's battle pass.

Lin Bo's share of the profits is a considerable income, and the imprinted body is essentially working for the real body.

The leak of magic language textbooks from the dungeon caused a sharp drop in the prices of related goods on the trading platform, with many players from commercial guilds posting complaints about someone's actions disrupting the market.

As for who this "someone" is, the poster dared not say it directly.

After all, several legendary-level players had already entered the dungeon to challenge the Archmage, and without exception, they all suffered defeats. One legendary player even frankly admitted that he hadn't been able to give the Archmage a good time, and if his opponent hadn't shown him some mercy, he probably would have only lasted three to five moves at most.

Lin Bo didn't pay attention to these things. There were too many trending topics on the online forum, and even the most famous person couldn't reach every circle.

He was concerned about the rental market for artifact fragments and the selling price of the eyeballs of various magical creatures. Preparations for the new Mage's Appearance were already underway, starting with discovering the true names of eye-type materials. Lin Bo had also read many volumes of the "Comprehensive Web Observation" series, which contained illustrations of famous monsters from various worlds.

Five-colored dragons, metal dragons, beholders, ghosts, vampires, spirits, demons and devils, etc. Monsters with the same name in different world backgrounds have different abilities. Lin Bo needs to purchase materials from local production areas according to the functions marked in the design drawings.

Some are cheap, costing only a few thousand or tens of thousands of Disaster Coins; some require hiring players to hunt in specific dungeon worlds; and some are species that have become extinct, with only a small number remaining in the hands of some collectors.

Lin Bo posted a purchase request in the trading section, and regularly spent some Disaster Coins to keep the post popular so that other players could see it. He also occasionally browsed the auction house to search for eye-catching items.

Whenever he acquires new items, he spends some time investigating their true names and testing their enchantment effects. If he is not satisfied, he tries to improve them; if he cannot improve them, he discards them.

This is autumn in Shita Town.

The city of Kimbe continues to promote brain-computer interfaces, and the number of internet users has grown to over 20,000. Some rumors about the device are also circulating, causing widespread anxiety, but they haven't yet hindered the promotion efforts. After all, with the Duke's and the state religion's endorsement, most people are still willing to believe it.

Kochen Ancher quickly found out who was deliberately spreading the rumors.

The main targets are gangsters and nobles, many of whom have committed heinous crimes. Once they are implanted with brain-computer interfaces, their past will be exposed, and they will inevitably face imprisonment and the death penalty.

Even the governor of White Stone Island could only use free clinics to first educate the general public about brain-computer interfaces, rather than rashly putting pressure on the interest groups behind the rumors.

Kochen Ancher, on the contrary, reassured the nobles and bureaucrats who sought his information, saying that it was fine without brain implants. He was deceiving them into lowering their guard to prevent them from taking more extreme actions.

The orders of the Miracle Walkers are the most important: to popularize brain-computer interfaces as much as possible. Once this trend takes hold, no reactionary force will be able to resist it.

In addition to the widespread adoption of brain-computer interfaces in Kimbee, churches throughout the archipelago are now promoting naming ceremonies.

Believers who are twelve years of age or older will wear hoods and go out in groups at night to enter the church and have a private audience with the spirit's manifestation, where they will be given their true name.

Due to the secret nature of the Miracles Cult, its followers are forbidden from discussing deities, reciting holy names, propagating doctrines, or engaging in any activities in the name of deities in their daily lives. Even though everyone is fully aware of this secret, it is still forbidden to openly discuss it.

The best attitude of the followers of the Miracles Cult is to feign ignorance when asked questions; silence is their greatest virtue.

Every night, large numbers of believers, concealing their appearance, silently leave their homes and walk along the streets to the church. After receiving their names, they keep them a lifelong secret, only sharing their names with their closest and most trusted family members.

This peculiar cultural phenomenon spread throughout the country in a short period of time, which is truly remarkable.

The promotion of naming ceremonies was also feared by the wicked. Of course, there were also some criminal believers who pleaded for the forgiveness of miracle workers, but the response from the divine saints was often silence, sometimes solace, sometimes consolation.

Criminals, driven to despair by silence, surrendered and accepted punishment after being comforted and persuaded. Several long-standing mysteries in cities were thus solved. Some who surrendered claimed to have been given a second life by God and wanted to be baptized to rid themselves of the past, even at the cost of death.

Naming believers is a tedious and lengthy task, but Lin Bo still has enough energy to maintain his studies and practice, and the task of deducing the sacred embryo of time is going relatively smoothly.

In addition, the Greenskin Expedition in the [Creator's Conquest Chessboard] plane provided Lin Bo with a massive amount of killing experience, finally enough to meet the requirements for leveling up.
