The only player in the Marvel universe

Chapter 85 You Will Be the Next Leader of Kamar-Taj
Fortunately, the game system only requires Du Mu to perform the action of flipping through the pages, without forcing him to truly understand the contents of the book.

He only needs to keep turning the pages and patiently wait for the progress bar to finish.

However, the process was so long that he couldn't stop halfway through.

If you stop, the progress bar will be interrupted, and you'll have to start loading from the beginning again when you flip through the page.

It was pure torture!

[You have finished reading a book. Your magical knowledge +1]

Upon seeing the system notification, Du Mu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He put down the ancient book in his hand and couldn't help but ask, "System, is there any way to speed up the loading process?"

Improving mental attributes can accelerate the speed of knowledge acquisition.

So, mental attributes have this kind of use?
Normally, Du Mu only reads comic books and would never read such profound books, so he naturally wouldn't have discovered that the mental attribute has this function.

Fortunately, he unlocked the blue bar some time ago and added some mental attributes, otherwise the loading speed would probably be even slower right now.

Du Mu shook his head: "No, this is too torturous. I need to find something to pass the time."

He's here to play games, not to study. He probably won't be able to keep this up for long.

Thinking this, Du Mu took out his phone, only to be surprised to find that the screen had detected a connectable Wi-Fi network.

"Kamar-Taj can even connect to the internet? How is it so modern?"

Du Mu originally thought that the monk's sacred place of practice must be a place of ascetic meditation, but he did not expect that it could also connect to the Internet via WIFI.

But then I thought about it again, and even the most powerful person here is playing games, so having Wi-Fi seems quite reasonable.

Du Mu pulled out his master key and instantly cracked the WIFI password for Kamar-Taj.

That is, the English spelling of Shambhala.

"This password is so unoriginal."

Du Mu pursed his lips, thinking that if it were him, he would definitely change it to a password that was easier to remember.

After he entered the Wi-Fi password, his phone connected to the network and then opened a video on a certain app.

"Look closely, this man's name is Xiao Shuai."

That feels good!
Du Mu picked up another ancient book with a smug look on his face, mechanically flipping through the pages while watching videos with great interest.

With the background music, the originally tedious loading process was like being under a time spell, and time passed much faster, which was quite magical.

The rest of the time was spent almost entirely reading books and scrolling through his phone.

My magical knowledge skyrocketed, while my phone battery plummeted.

Du Mu only stopped studying when his phone battery was completely drained, and got up to leave the library.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the door was opened, a black man in a magic robe stood quietly outside. Judging from his robust physique, he was obviously a senior mage who had practiced magic for many years.

The other person nodded slightly: "Hello, I am Mordo. Master Gu Yi is waiting in the inner hall. Please follow me."

Du Mu nodded and followed Mo Du through several ancient stone corridors to a quiet hall.

The interior of the hall was simply furnished. Gu Yi was sitting in front of the tea table, skillfully brewing tea, then gently blowing on it and taking a small sip.

"Bah bah bah!"

Gu Yi spat out the tea leaves he had accidentally drunk.

Du Mu: "."

This big shot is really down-to-earth.

"coming?"

Gu Yi casually filled another cup with tea and gently pushed it toward Du Mu: "This is tea that I grew myself; you can't find it anywhere else."

Du Mu sat down and downed the tea in one gulp. His eyes lit up immediately: "It really tastes good. I feel much more energetic now."

"Oh, I added a little invigorating magic to it."

"." It's confirmed, it wasn't his imagination!

This bald boss is definitely not a serious person!

Du Mu couldn't help but complain, "Aren't you afraid the other sorcerers at Kamar-Taj will see you like this?"

Ancient One looked puzzled: "The other sorcerers? Where are they?"

Du Mu was taken aback upon hearing this and subconsciously looked around.

Only then did he realize that, without him noticing, the surrounding space was filled with cracks like shattered glass. The Mage Mordo who had led the way was nowhere to be seen, and only he and Gu Yi remained in the entire hall, as if they were isolated in another dimension.

"What is this?" Du Mu asked in surprise.

"This is a mirror space. Although it exists, it is undetectable. Everything that happens here will not affect the real world."

Upon hearing Gu Yi's explanation, Du Mu immediately became alert.

Could they be trying to silence me?

Gu Yi comforted her, "Don't worry, I won't do anything to you. This is just a necessary measure to prevent some morally corrupt person from eavesdropping."

Du Mu raised an eyebrow: "Who is this scoundrel you're referring to?"

Gu Yi said calmly, "An old man with a white beard who doesn't like to bathe, has a wrinkled face, likes to freeload, and likes to rob people—if you encounter someone who fits these characteristics, it's best to stay as far away from him as possible."

The description was quite specific, and the image of a lewd old man immediately came to Du Mu's mind.

"So what do you want from me?" Du Mu was still somewhat puzzled.

Instead of answering directly, the Ancient One asked, "What do you think of Kamar-Taj?"

"Is it alright?"

Du Mu had only been there a short time and had spent the entire day in the library, so he had no idea what Kamar-Taj was like.

Gu nodded: "So that means you like it. In that case, are you interested in becoming the next Sorcerer Supreme?"

Du Mu: "."

Isn't this topic jumping a bit too fast?

How did we suddenly get onto the topic of the Sorcerer Supreme?

Du Mu asked with a surprised look, "You want me to be the Supreme Mage?"

“No, I mean the next Sorcerer Supreme. After all, I don’t plan to die yet,” Ancient One corrected.

"But the problem is, with my abilities, I'm not qualified to become the Sorcerer Supreme."

Du Mu was quite self-aware.

With his current strength, if he were to encounter a dimensional demon god, he would probably only be able to get utterly crushed.

"He is the next Supreme Master."

Gu Yi corrected her again, smiling slightly, "Your current strength is not enough, but that doesn't mean you won't be strong in the future. I have high hopes for you."

There's nothing wrong with that.

After all, which player isn't incredibly powerful in the late game?

But where does an NPC get such confidence? Did you read the script?
Du Mu was speechless: "No, this is only our second meeting. Why was I chosen as the Supreme Mage? There must be a reason, right?"

Ancient One gazed at him, her eyes deep and earnest: "Because you possess a unique potential that I have never encountered in hundreds of years, and with your qualifications, you also perfectly meet the requirements of the Sorcerer Supreme."

Du Mu remained silent, sensing that there was definitely a trap here.

Especially seeing the other party's status of 'waiting for retirement', he suspected that the position of Supreme Master was probably not a good one.

Seeing Du Mu's expression, Gu Yi chuckled and said, "Of course, this is not something that can be decided in a short time. We can discuss this topic later. Anyway, I have some time. During this period, you can freely enter and leave the library of Kamar-Taj."

Du Mu thought the suggestion was good; he did indeed need to improve his magical knowledge in the Kamar-Taj Library.

As for the Supreme Master and such, let's leave that for later.
