You sneaked into my simulation world and started spamming the panel

After a busy day, enjoying a glass of sweet mead and savoring the cool minty finish would be incredibly pleasant.

"How is it?" asked Bald, who was sitting opposite him. "Chloris's new cocktail, which she's going to sell to adventurers, is 5 copper coins a glass."

"Delicious, delicious. Miss Chloris can mix drinks?"

"Hmph, being pretty is just her most superficial advantage."

Most of the adventurers have gone to the forest these past few days, and the ordinary people in town don't have that much spare money to spend here, which has made the business of [3,000 gold coins] very bad.

It's so bad that Balde hasn't opened for business for two days in a row.

The wind chimes at the entrance rang, their clear sound echoing throughout the restaurant.

It seems we have some guests.

Chloris, who was in the kitchen, quickly poked her head out. She was wearing a white headscarf and had her long, light blonde hair pulled back, revealing her fair neck.

"Welcome to Three Thousand Gold Coins... Miss Yar, what brings you here?"

Is Lott there? Is Lott there?

After Yar's gaze settled on Lotte in the corner, she picked up the box in her hand and quickly ran to Lotte's side.

"Lotte, the situation is critical. The adventurers only brought four days' worth of rations. If this drags on any longer, they will starve to death."

"Miss Yar, I'm sorry, there's nothing I can do about it."

“You’re the only mage in the entire town of Feng’en, ​​and only you can save me.” Yar opened the wooden box, revealing the magic scroll inside. “If you agree to go, I’ll give you this magic scroll on behalf of the guild.”

Lotte looked at the yellowed parchment and remembered the pure girl from his childhood who looked perfect in a light blue dress.

Heart pounding.

This is magic! It's magic that's not sold anywhere else in the entire town of Maple's End!

With this, I can finally be considered a true mage!

But Lott only glanced at it before sitting back down. "I'm sorry, but I can't agree to something as basic as magic. The Mist Bear Spirit is quite terrifying."

"How could this happen..." Yar looked to Chloris behind her for help, hoping she could help.

Chloris's lips curled up slightly. She saw through Lott's thoughts at a glance. "Mr. Lott, if you walk in any direction from Fengen Town for 10 days, you won't find a single magic scroll."

Lotte also wanted to test whether Yar had any intermediate-level magic!

Chloris continued, "Sophie spent half a month going to the city and buying this scroll for 5 gold coins. But she got into trouble a few days later. This magic scroll is worth more than the total reward for defeating the Mist Bear Spirit. Miss Yar has already shown her great sincerity."

But Lott shook his head. "Even if I learned magic, it wouldn't matter if I got slapped to death by a bear spirit."

Yar quickly said, "Mr. Lotte, you don't need to hunt down the bear spirit. You just need to get information about the missing adventurers. Others will go and rescue them."

"Just intelligence?"

"Uh-huh!"

Lotte was still somewhat hesitant. The Mist Bear Spirit wasn't that strong to begin with; four small teams could easily defeat it without taking any damage. If they were just gathering intelligence, the risk would be much lower.

Yar squatted down next to Lotte, her hands gripping the edge of the table, looking up at him: "Mr. Lotte, if you agree, you'll not only get magic and two silver coins a day, but you'll also win my heart. I really have no choice, the branch president is about to eat me alive."

"Can I trade your heart for a magic scroll?"

"Mr. Lott!"

Lotte took a big gulp of honey mint liqueur, and the coolness made her feel a little tipsy.

He decided to give it a try.

Lott said, "Let's make this clear first. This quest was initiated by the guild, not the other way around. Therefore, even if I fail the quest, you will still have to pay me and my teammates 2 silver coins per day. Furthermore, if our team gets injured, the guild will have to pay for all our medical expenses."

Yar bit her lip and whispered, "Mr. Lott is really going too far..."

"Then forget it, I'd better go back and rest."

"No, no, no!" Yar quickly grabbed Lot's arm. "It's settled then! But who are your teammates?"

Baldr pricked up his ears and quietly moved closer to Lotte.

For the first time, Lott felt the burning, expectant gaze of a 40-year-old man.

Lotte spoke up: "It's Baldr, if he's willing."

Baldr couldn't help but clap his hands: "Great!"

After he finished speaking, a shadow appeared above Baldr.

Chloris parted her lips slightly, her amber eyes now frosted over, her expression chillingly cold: "Uncle Baldr, you seem quite excited, do you really enjoy teaming up with Mr. Lotte?"

Baldr quickly explained in a low voice, "I was going to rescue my client on one hand, and on the other hand, I was also testing Mr. Lott's character for you."

"Did you find a result?"

"Not yet, wait a little longer."

"The forest is very dangerous," Chloris said hesitantly. "Shall I come with you?"

"Don't worry, Lott is just as afraid of dying as I am. We won't be in any danger, and this is just a reconnaissance mission, not a battle against monsters."

Baldr kept trying to reassure Chloris, and it took him a long time to put her at ease.

After Yal left, Lotte immediately took out the magic scroll and eagerly unfolded it.

He gently stroked the parchment, then held it to his nose to smell its magical fragrance.

It smells so good, magic smells so good.

"Can you smell the fragrance?" Chloris frowned slightly. "That's Sophie's perfume; she's put a lot of it on the magic scrolls."

"..."

“Miss Yar gave you two days to learn this magic scroll, but it usually takes about a week. Mr. Lott, you'd better hurry up.”

Yar explained that only magic could effectively harm the Mist Bear Spirit, and it would be safer if Lot learned it before setting off.

"I'll learn now."

Lotte winked at the magic scroll, and under Chloris's watchful gaze, he flicked his finger.

Nothing happened.

He closed his eyes again, placing his hand on the densely packed surgical incantations, but nothing happened.

"Mr. Lott, you don't actually know how to learn magic, do you?"

Chloris sat opposite Lotte, and as she shifted her posture, white bear-patterned socks were revealed beneath her raised skirt. "She's a mage, yet she doesn't know how to learn magic."

Lott looked at her earnestly: "Teacher Chloris, what should I do?"

The word "teacher" made Chloris a little embarrassed. She covered her face with her sleeve and said softly, "You have to learn through meditation... Sorry for teasing you just now..."

Baldr keenly sensed that something was amiss in this direction.

However, Lott's mind was entirely on magic. He looked at the magic incantation in front of him, took a deep breath, and entered a state of deep meditation.

Only in this state was Lotte's soul liberated.

Most of the world's magical scrolls were made by the primordial elves. They used magic to inscribe complex magical formulas on parchment.

The process of learning magic involves absorbing the magic power on scrolls through meditation, allowing this magic power to inscribe a complete magical formula on one's soul.

This process is also known as "engraving".

All magic requires meditation to learn, making meditation an essential introductory spell for mages. The higher the meditation level, the faster the learning speed.

[Breathing Meditation] is a family secret technique held by Isolde, and its efficiency in learning magic far exceeds that of ordinary meditation.

Not to mention that Lotte has already diligently cultivated [Breathing Meditation] to Lv.3.

Chloris glanced at the magic scroll and noticed that the magic on it was disappearing at a visible rate.

So fast!

Is Lott really a genius? At this rate, he could learn it in just 20 hours!

“Miss Chloris,” Lott asked with his eyes closed, “do you know what arcane magic represents?”

“Arcane?” Chloris thought for a moment. “It represents the ability to analyze magical formulas. The deeper the analysis of a magical formula, the greater the power of the released magic. Changing the form and quantity of magic are all influenced by it.”

Locke nodded without saying anything.

But just then, Chloris suddenly discovered that Lotte's speed of learning magic had increased several times over!

At the current speed of magic imprinting, Lotte only needs 5 hours to learn it! That's a full 4 times faster!

What exactly did he do? How did he speed up so much in an instant?

Chloris stared intently at Lotte's face, trying to analyze something, and finally she came to a conclusion:

He can grow rapidly and become stronger through learning!

It turns out that Lott really is a magical genius!

But the truth is not as mysterious as Chloris thought.

Lotte simply opened the panel and added all 4 attribute points to the Arcane attribute; that's all!

Arcane magic can both increase power and accelerate the learning speed of magic, making it very suitable for Lot at present.

Four hours later.
