No one should be allowed to benefit from such a bargain, except the capitalists!
"Damn it, five thousand for one night and that doesn't even include breakfast tomorrow, so stingy. So what if it's included? After a night of hard work, who's going to get up early for breakfast? Even if they did, would they eat you out of house and home..."
Gao Wen paused mid-sentence, pondering that if it were Hervi, she could easily recoup the 5,000 yuan room fee, or even 100,000 yuan. If he wasn't mistaken, the dire situation of the catering industry must have spread throughout the university town, causing panic in the accommodation sector and prompting them to plug this loophole in advance.
"As expected of you, you single-handedly promoted the reform of industry standards in the entire university town."
Gao Wen sincerely admired him and hoped that one day he could command the heroes like that.
After expressing his feelings, he took two items out of his system inventory and placed them on the white towel on the steps.
Extraditers.
Magic Corridor.
The Ferryman's Scroll is a certificate of the Underworld, granting free entry and exit to the realm and its protection. It allows entry and exit from the same location. If it weren't for its long wind-up and the risk of being ambushed in bushes, it could easily be considered a life-saving artifact—a return scroll.
The magic corridor forms its own small space, and half an hour is enough time for Gawain to perform two sacrificial rituals.
That's right, Gawain booked a room tonight to go to the underworld and perform a sacrificial ritual there.
After the library incident, Gao Wen knew that the school's surveillance methods were powerful. There were five magic towers in total, including the central district and the district, and any unusual activity would be known to the school's higher-ups.
The Magic Corridor has already proven how excellent the Magic Tower's surveillance methods are. Gawain has learned his lesson and will not repeat the mistakes of those three unlucky guys. The temptations of entering and leaving the Underworld are overwhelming, and he will not entrust his safety to the kindness of human nature.
This secret must not be revealed.
At the same time, they are even more wary of the Little Black Witch.
There are no fools in the world, only self-righteous clever people. If Gao could see through this, there was no reason why the little black witch couldn't guess it. That night, she used darkness to shield the surroundings in order to block the magic tower's perception.
Gawain couldn't understand why the little black witch, knowing about the existence of the magic tower, would dare to sneak into the boys' dormitory area...
Or is it that the little black witch is so skillful that even the 1+4 magic tower cannot detect her stealth magic?
That's a tangent, let's get back to the main topic.
Gawain had made thorough preparations. He would use the Ferryman to open the gates of the underworld, and after the initial animation, at the moment the gates officially opened, he would use the magic corridor to conceal his presence. Thirty minutes would be more than enough for two sacrificial rituals.
The school is monitored by a magic tower, and it's not safe outside either. Fan Sen is hiding somewhere, and it's too risky for him to go out alone. It's safer to bring Hervy along for protection.
As for why it was a hotel room instead of playing cards all night...
To be honest, Gawain admitted that he was a tiny bit lusting after her body. What if, what if Hervy suddenly lost her mind and became a concubine he could take advantage of?
It turns out Hervy wasn't out of her mind; she was perfectly clear-headed. She would never do a deal worth hundreds of millions if it only cost ten million.
If he couldn't take it, he wouldn't. Gao Wenben hadn't held out much hope. He opened the Gates of Hell, waiting for the pre-cast animation to finish while checking the Level 2 VIP benefits.
Yesterday, the AI assistant generated several versions of the Level 2 welfare plan, all of which were rejected by Gao Wen. There was no other reason than that I didn't think the first version was the best; I just wanted to try to secure some more benefits.
The host behaves this way daily, and the system is used to it. The spokesperson AI assistant argues firmly, determined not to let it cross the line of life.
The latest version of the Tier 2 VIP benefits has been increased from the original and new privileges have been added.
The red name status on the map and in battle remains unchanged;
The system inventory has been expanded to 99 slots, but each slot can still hold 9 of the same type of item;
Sign in daily to receive 3 magic points, 1000 experience points, and a random resource. The quality of the resource will be improved, and there is a certain probability of getting red or blue bottles, as well as food that increases basic attributes.
Identification techniques.
There's not much else to say. The reason Gawain argued with the AI assistant for so long was because they disagreed on the issue of whether to fully activate or deactivate the appraisal skill.
Gawain wanted to unleash his full potential, but the AI assistant resolutely refused. The latest version of the Appraisal Technique could help the host identify the opponent's class level, but it could not read skills and basic attributes. Furthermore, the Appraisal Technique could only be effective against opponents with the same rating on the host's character panel.
To translate, Gawain's character panel rating is "Common Iron," meaning he can only appraise magic apprentices of levels 1-20. Once the opponent reaches the level of a full-fledged mage, his appraisal skill becomes useless.
Those who can be defeated don't need identification; those who can't be defeated can't be identified.
Furthermore, since the system's perception of the outside world comes from Gawain himself, if the opponent possesses concealment magic or holds magical items that interfere with the senses, thus disguising their strength, the appraisal skill may still make an appraisal error.
Waste identification techniques are far inferior to Gawain's ability to have his AI assistant create on-the-spot models based on his opponent's performance when they fight.
Gao Wen pretended to ponder for a moment, and finally agreed to the latest version of the level 2 benefits.
The fact that Level 2 Appraisal is useless does not mean that Level 3 and Level 4 are also useless; this is a good start.
The AI assistant breathed a sigh of relief. It was another day of successfully persuading its host. As the spokesperson for the auxiliary system, it was also part of the system and felt extremely proud of itself, deserving of flowers and applause.
After confirming the Level 2 VIP benefits, Gao Wen gritted his teeth, spent his accumulated 1 gold coins, and officially became a permanent Level 2 member.
I feel like I'm making a killing by checking in twice a day.
Today's sign-in rewards: 3 Magic Points, 1000 Experience Points, and 1 Calcium Tablet.
[Calcium Supplements (Unparalleled calcium content, easily absorbed, suitable for sensitive skin)]
"What utter nonsense..."
Gao Wen muttered something, took out a calcium tablet, chewed it, and swallowed it.
Bones were strengthened, physique was enhanced, and all basic attributes were increased by 2-5 points. Even the charm, which is not very useful, broke through the 100 mark.
"This is good stuff!"
A refreshing sense of satisfaction spread throughout his body. Gao Wen's eyes lit up, and he scolded, "Others sell medicine by the bottle, but you sell it by the pill. If word gets to the fitness community, they'll think I, Gao, can't afford calcium supplements and can only buy fake ones!"
The AI assistant remains silent, seemingly playing dead.
The fragments of the underworld were so broken that it took Gawain two whole hours to insert the key into the lock, and he spent two hours soaking in the bathtub because of it.
The wrinkled preserved eggs have all become bloated from soaking!
Gawain put on his underwear, put on his bathrobe, and walked out of the bathroom. He saw that the pink heart-shaped bed was empty, and Hervy was sitting on the sofa chair by the window, frowning and thinking. He couldn't help but complain to himself.
Is this the spawn point for the red-haired guy?
"President, you're going to go all the way with this act, look at you..."
"Oh, you're done washing up so quickly?"
Herwi snapped out of her daze, flustered and completely unaware of the passage of time.
Also, I don't know if it's just my imagination, but Gawain's pretty boy looks even more handsome now.
"Two hours is considered fast? No wonder you girls are always late."
Gao Wen rolled his eyes, sat cross-legged on the bed, and patted the pillow next to him with his clear face: "President, look at this late at night..."
"hehe."
Hervy raised her fist and shook it, her expression full of threat: "Well, you dare to flirt with me, the president? Just say so if you're itching for a beating, no need to be so tactful."
"Wrong."
"Considering this is your first offense, I won't pursue it today." Herwi snorted coldly, closing her eyes as if lost in thought.
President, you don't know this, this isn't your first offense. The previous times, he said he wanted to be the president's man and would treat you to a big meat stick, which were all suggestive. He's teased you many times before.
Gao Wen spoke the truth in his heart, and seeing that the gates of hell were about to open, he further solidified his honest persona: "I was just joking. If the club president doesn't believe me, you can go ask the history department. Everyone knows my good reputation for not being interested in women... Hehehe... I promise I'll behave myself tonight..."
As he spoke, Gawain, to prove that he was really honest, took out the Magic Corridor, injected magic to activate it, adjusted the coverage area, and disappeared from Hervy's sight along with the bed.
Strictly speaking, he wasn't having sex with Hervy tonight, but rather with the Lord of Death.
Hervy: "..."
Coward!
Chapter 55 I told you, don't be angry.
Inside the magic corridor, Gawain took out two offerings from his system inventory and waited another five minutes before the entrance to the underworld finally arrived.
Expecting this thing to be a return scroll is absurd!
The two offerings were originally in a backpack from the Royal Magic University. Gawain thought the backpack had the school emblem on it and might function as a locator, so he just left it in his dormitory bedroom without touching it.
He's always been cautious!
The gate to the fragments of the underworld was dilapidated, filled with a distorted black mist. The entrance was extremely narrow, requiring one to squeeze in close to their body.
It's only accessible through the entrance; once you crawl inside, it's quite spacious.
The castle ruins were surrounded by an army of ten thousand undead. Gawain led the Ox-Head and Horse-Face to the altar, took out a sacrificial offering, and asked Iron Ox to preside over the sacrificial ceremony.
The first two sacrificial ceremonies were presided over by Tie Niu and Ma Long, respectively. The former brought the necromancy magic "Summoning the Undead" and the latter brought the shadow magic "Dark Vision".
The recipe for summoning the undead does not exist in the Universal Continent. At least Gawain has not seen any related records in the library or the small auditorium. It may have been lost, or the Lord of Death may not have spread his glory to the Universal Continent. At present, we do not know.
Dark Horizon...
To put it simply, none of the many ancient texts of the universal continent have ever recorded that the Lord of Death holds the authority of the Law of Shadow.
Necromancy has a few cheap, minor spells to keep it going, but shadow magic doesn't exist at all. On the other hand, some minor spells of dark magic are somewhat related to shadows.
God of Darkness.
The ancient deities in the Pantheon exist in the original universal theology, serving as one of the low-key and mysterious background figures. Their lineage is severely interrupted. Despite the irreplaceable and prestigious status of darkness, they have not even made it into the Seven Orders.
If the Lord of Death can only sit at the children's table, the God of Darkness is even worse off. When all the gods are having a silver party, guess who wasn't invited?
"The great ruler of death, the sovereign of the end, the god of eternity..."
Iron Ox stood before the altar, kneeling on one knee, loyal and devout, loudly praising that there was only one great being in the underworld.
Gao Wen: (? Yi?)
Don't be angry. It's just a ritual, the lines are all the same, there's no need to be angry.
The offering prepared by Gawain is priced at 20 at the Royal Magic University. The recipe corresponds to the necromancy spell Bone Spear. All the magicians on the continent know that order magic is a gift from the gods, and each spell has its price. Doing it recklessly will only lead to the failure of the sacrifice.
Gawain knew this too, which is why he said that there was an element of gambling involved in this sacrifice.
The previous sacrifice in the underworld wasn't done according to the recipe, so there's no reason why it should fail this time after succeeding the first two times.
Beat a fight, bike change bike!
Black light rose, and the gaze of the Lord of Death descended, sweeping over the offerings before fixing on Gawain, as if asking: We meet again, why do you want to learn the same magic?
Gawain remained silent, his face filled with piety. He had no other intention than to offer sacrifices to the Lord of Death. If the only great being in the underworld felt embarrassed, he could freely bestow some rewards.
Perhaps sensing Gawain's shameless nature, or perhaps the Lord of Death had planned this all along, a ray of black light shot out from the half-demon statue, entered Gawain's brow, and formed a magic circuit within him, personally teaching him a new magic.
[Necromantic Magic - Corrosive Hands Lv1 (Your hands can manipulate the aura of death, corroding life and robbing away life; this is a very advanced necromancy)]
