Only I Have the Law: A Fantasy Daily Life

Chapter 155 series of missions? If the dogs won't do it, I will!
【drop! 】

[A scene of imitation of 'ritual magic' severely lacking its core elements has been detected!]

[As a walking encyclopedia of all laws, a living vessel of knowledge from all realms, the esteemed [Returner of All Laws], you, like a genius, successfully grasped a subtle glimmer of insight originating from the true structural principles of 'ritual magic' in this place filled with 'reverberations of ritual'!]

what?
genius?

Are you talking about me?
Chen Baiyu, carrying a huge wooden box, couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Although he often thought this way narcissistically after his comprehensive enhancement, he did not think he was so genius-level that he could immediately comprehend ritual magic just by watching others perform rituals and shamanistic dances.

What is ritual magic?
According to Chen Baiyu, who was well-versed in various fantasy works, this thing should be a kind of magic that requires a specific process and extensive preparation before it can be cast.

Interacting with supernatural forces through auxiliary means such as gestures, incantations, props, and magic circles in order to conserve power or overcome limitations in order to cast a certain kind of magic.

But this kind of thing.

Can he really comprehend this out of thin air?

That would be too exaggerated.

It's almost as if someone who has never been exposed to knowledge suddenly and inexplicably grasped how to safely, stably, and efficiently manufacture the [Dimensional Weapon - Two-Dimensional Foil] production line after seeing the mathematical formula 1+1=2 for the first time.

Anyway, no matter how you look at it.

Chen Baiyu felt that the person in front of him was just a Taoist priest performing a ritual to pray for blessings. He did not notice anything unusual, nor did any brilliant knowledge suddenly pop into his head.

and so……

Is this just the system talking to itself again?
It's like how the system once fabricated an ancient voiceover on the Great Wall to supplement the background story of a mission.

Afterwards, Chen Baiyu checked the records and realized something: that damned thing was the Ming Great Wall, not some ancient whisper of soldiers. Besides, that Great Wall had been renovated countless times, like the Ship of Theseus, completely transformed long ago.

So from this perspective...

This time will likely be the same.

System, you're really dramatic...

But how to say it.

As usual: I'll play along and pretend I didn't see anything.
Lost in thought, Chen Baiyu continued reading the system's next words.

Based on this flash of inspiration and its resonance with your professional instincts, a series of quests has been triggered: "Do You Understand Ritual Magic? - Rainbow Transformation"

[Quest Background: The Fool's Dance can sometimes strike the beat of fate. The faint echoes emanating from this 'pseudo-ritual' built on fear and superstition unexpectedly become your springboard to glimpse the true magic of rituals.]

[You heard it, the echo of the rainbow body transformation ceremony!]

The Rainbow Transformation Ritual is a ritual that uses space as a trigger to briefly fold and transform, achieving the profound meaning of merging with rainbow light and instantaneous teleportation. This is an essential skill for high-level spellcasters and the first step in breaking free from the constraints of mortal speed.

The task requirements are as follows:

[Phase One: Follow the guidance of fate and purchase ritual attire.]

[Phase Two: Following the guidance of fate, collect the following ritual materials that carry specific 'world fundamental frequencies': Dust of Seven Luminaries, Prismatic Purity Crystal, and Cinder of Stellar Radiance]

Phase Three: Using the "Pure Prism" as the core, draw a "Rainbow Resonance Magic Array" with a diameter of no less than 2 meters on the ground according to the following precise geometric diagram using "Seven Luminaries Dust". The width of the magic array lines must be constant (approximately 1 cm), and starlight embers must be placed at the nodes. Note: You must maintain high concentration while drawing, channeling your own magical filaments into the dust to ensure that every grain of dust becomes an active node in the magic array. Interruptions in drawing or uneven magical infusion will cause the dust to become inert, requiring you to completely remove it and start over!

[Quest Rewards: 500 experience points, title [Scholar]]

[Task Evaluation: Genius, let me ask you this: if you were to undergo a Rainbow Transformation Ritual like this, could you comprehend the non-ritual version of the Rainbow Transformation Technique?]

hiss……

Chen Baiyu couldn't help but gasp.

Although he felt that he was taking a lot of deep breaths after having the system, he made an important contribution to preventing global warming.

But he didn't think it was his fault.

He was genuinely annoyed just seeing the words "[Series of Missions]". He felt that none of the series of missions were easy to deal with.

If most of the system's tasks are as simple as an old man playing with a child, or an adult arm wrestling with a kindergarten child...

Then the unique quest chain, "Trial of the Blasphemous God," is different.

Although this task is not particularly difficult.

But it's absolutely disgusting enough.

It left a very deep impression on him.

The first time I tried fermented mung bean juice, it was alright.

The second time, the pearls were cooked in a soup made with cow dung, and the third time, the mixed stew of irritating liquids could only be described as personified.

and so.

Chen Baiyu didn't have a good impression of the term "series of missions." In fact, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he felt a bit of PTSD.

This series of tasks is so bad, even a dog wouldn't do it!
However, the rewards are not bad if you only look at them.

A whopping 500 experience points is quite good; before this, only the Trial of the God of Blasphemy 2 and the job change quest offered such a high experience reward.

As for that title of "scholar"...

Chen Baiyu subconsciously clicked to view the details.

[Title [Scholar]: Wearing this title will randomly increase the experience points gained per instance by 10%-50%]

What the hell!

It's an unbeatable experience point boost! It's a noble growth acceleration buff!

Chen Baiyu's breath hitched instinctively.

It smells amazing! It smells so good!

There is no way we can give up such a title.

Why don't they do any of the series of missions?
If dogs won't do it, I will!

Think of this.

Without hesitation, Chen Baiyu picked up the wooden box and turned to head home.

Considering that this mission is divided into three phases, it seems quite complicated.

He couldn't help but quicken his pace.

Everyone they encountered along the way instinctively avoided them.

After all, no one would want to try touching a muscular man carrying such a huge thing and speeding up.

After all, we're all smart people.

It wasn't Kimi who dared to breathe on the Grand Canal while on the national highway.

···········
The three phases of the task are not difficult to understand.

Both the first and second stages involve collecting items based on the guidance of fate: a special set of clothing and three types of materials whose nature is unknown.

Although the system never speaks human language, I don't know exactly what these things are.

However, Chen Baiyu, who was already quite familiar with the guidance of fate, felt that it shouldn't be too difficult to find things simply by following Guo Degang's voice.

As for the third phase, that should be the core part of this mission.

According to Chen Baiyu's understanding of the second language in the system, this meant that he had to wear the special clothes he had collected, arrange the special materials he had collected in a specified way, and then inject magic to activate the so-called ritual magic.

This stage should be a little difficult.

However, Chen Baiyu's ability to take action has always been astonishing.

After bidding farewell to the hustle and bustle of the ritual, he carefully placed the heavy wooden box and immediately entrusted the platinum to Aunt Zhang Yiyu next door.

Then lock the door.

It blended directly into the pulse of the city.

The guidance of fate also echoed in my mind right on time.

It still tastes just like that:

Hey buddy! What are you standing there for? Get moving!

Chen Baiyu kept walking.

He navigated the city with practiced ease.

finally.

Fate led him to a bustling animation and gaming industrial park.

The navigation stopped in front of a large, brightly lit, anime-themed store filled with a dazzling array of goods.

Chen Baiyu resignedly went inside.

The store was filled with all kinds of cosplay costumes, props and related items. He ignored the brightly colored character costumes and his sharp eyes swept over the rows of clothes racks.

Ultimately, a simple yet visually striking outfit caught his eye.

Or to be precise.

The system thoughtfully highlighted the garment in his field of vision.

It was a hooded robe, primarily a smooth, matte white.

The cut is clean and the drape is excellent.

The wide hood and cuffs are trimmed with dark silver piping featuring mysterious geometric patterns resembling scriptures. A wide, dark silver belt cinches the waist, effectively slimming the figure.

The entire garment has no superfluous decorations, yet it exudes a solemn and dignified aura, while also concealing a hidden sharpness.

At first glance, he looks like a white bishop.

Upon closer inspection, it feels like the style of clothing worn by assassins in Assassin's Creed.

In short, it has a certain religious and mysterious feel to it.

"Tsk, this is the ceremonial attire the system requested?"

Chen Baiyu mentally complained, but still decisively took off the cosplay outfit.

The shop assistant enthusiastically explained that this wasn't exactly merchandise from a specific work, but its style incorporated characters from various works.

So without the added value of an IP, it's not that expensive.

Chen Baiyu didn't interfere much.

Pay and leave.

Phase One: Ceremonial Attire.

Get!

then.

Chen Baiyu once again embarked on a journey of destiny.

It wasn't until nightfall, after spending most of the day completing the second stage of material gathering, that he finally stopped in an idle warehouse.

Considering that ritual magic itself requires an undisturbed and sufficiently large space, and that unusual phenomena may occur.

So Chen Baiyu rented a warehouse in a relatively remote location as the place where he would complete the third stage of his mission.

At this moment, a large pile of things was placed in front of him.

First, there's a piece of clothing.

Secondly, there were several large jars of powder in different colors.

Then there was a crystal that was sparkling clear.

Finally, there was a dark, unremarkable stone.

Needless to say, the clothes were the special outfit that Chen Baiyu bought at the anime store, full of religious and mysterious feelings.

As for the remaining items...

The several large jars of powder of different colors are what the system refers to as the Dust of the Seven Luminaries.

Chen Baiyu found a mineral market and, following the system's instructions, purchased cinnabar powder that was as red as fire, realgar powder that was as bright as orange, pyrite powder that was as bright as gold, azurite powder that was as deep as sky blue, malachite powder that was as green as dripping emerald, turquoise powder that was as light as gray-blue, and fluorite powder that was as dark purple as crystal clear.

They were all made from natural mineral grinding, without any modern chemical dyes, and he carefully packaged them in specially made small glass bottles and brought them back.

The seven colors, like those of a rainbow, are exactly what the system referred to as the Seven Luminaries Dust.

That crystal-clear liquid is what the system refers to as pure prism.

It comes from the gift shop of the Geological Museum.

It is a piece of unpolished and uncut natural quartz crystal, less than the size of a fist. The crystal is nearly perfect hexagonal prism shape, so clear that there is almost no cloudiness, ice cracks or any impurities inside.

Light passes through it with almost no obstruction, as pure as solidified air.

Fortunately, it didn't have any unusual colors and wasn't very big, so Chen Baiyu eventually bought it for several thousand yuan.

As for that last dark, unremarkable stone, it has quite a history.

It looked like a dark brown stone, about half the size of a palm, heavy in texture, with a rough, pitted surface and burn marks.
But it is actually a meteorite from outer space, a piece of star debris that fell from the sky.

This is what the system refers to as the Starlight Embers.

Chen Baiyu did not spend money to buy it.

Following the signs, we arrived at the edge of an abandoned quarry, overgrown with weeds and littered with jagged rocks.

Then, using his divine sense to explore deep underground, he dug out the meteorite with a shovel within the area defined by the system's destiny guidance.

While thinking.

Chen Baiyu mentally read through the ritual magic instructions the system had given him after completing Phase Two.

It explains in detail the requirements for the placement angle and quantity of various props, and also introduces the precision of magic control.

It was even more detailed than the general requirements described in the system task description, and it was enough to give anyone a headache.

After observing for a while, he realized that with these strict placement requirements, if it were a magical world, it would be absolutely impossible to accidentally create a ritual magic by chance.
