My stats are higher than yours!

The Hunter: Taboo?

Embers: This field is quite special; it requires consuming lifespan to cast and cannot be used frequently.

Hunter: How much does it cost?

Ember: It consumes a full 60 seconds of lifespan every minute. How about that? Isn't that terrifying?

Hunter: Indeed.

Hunter: ?

Hunter: Huh? ? ?

The hunter: Are you kidding me? It's only 60 seconds in a minute.

Ember: Hehe.

Besides Xia Yanxin, another person also sent him a private message.

【Private letters】

Scholar of Truth: Are you there?

Ember: Hmm?

Scholar of Truth: Are you human?

Ember: Who are you cursing?

Scholar of Truth: I'm not insulting you.

Scholar of Truth: The methods you employ are not those of a psychic, but rather those of a being born with innate power.

Ember: Oh? What do you mean?

Scholar of Truth: When psychics master a domain, they often first master the rules, and then spread their rules to cover the world. This is what we conventionally understand as a domain.

Scholar of Truth: Your domain is created by building a shell through special means, and then filling it with your own tools to achieve the effect of domain attack. In fact, you can use similar attacks even without that shell, right?

Scholar of Truth: That method is more like the power of rules that innate beings possess.

Scholar of Truth: Well, to be precise, it's about evolving rules into innate supernatural powers, but the abilities you possess seem inferior to true supernatural powers.

The Truth Scholar: Like a weakened version.

Ember: Just consider this me cheating.

Ember: See how honest I am?

Scholar of Truth:....

Ember: Just get straight to the point and tell me what you want to do.

Scholar of Truth: Brothers, brothers.

Scholar of Truth: Your slash that appeared out of thin air was so cool, I want to imitate it and learn how to do it.

Ember: Are you sure you can learn this?

Scholar of Truth: That's too narrow-minded.

Scholar of Truth: My learning has never been about replicating things one-to-one. As long as the same effect is achieved, that's enough. As for the process, don't worry about it.

Ember: Sir, this will cost a lot of money.

The Truth Scholar: 100,000 per hour.

Ember: I don't accept cash here.

Truth Scholar: ? Psionic Points.

Ember: Holy crap!

...

Meanwhile, in Su Qingli's private training room, she smiled as she looked into the distance, a calm smile on her face, and murmured to herself, "Success."

How can a qualified support player build closer relationships with their teammates?

Trying to please everyone, then organizing dinners, and mediating when conflicts arise—this is a common approach used by low-level support staff, but it's not efficient enough.

Bai Shuodong once told her that Gauss was actually a very pretentious person. On the surface, he seemed indifferent to fame and fortune and had no interest in reputation at all, but in reality, he was always pretending. If any mage dared to make a fuss about not being able to chant, he would slap them in the face and trample them on the ground.

That kid's a real actor!

Moreover, it's not that he can't chant; he just likes to shout out chanting words randomly for fun. Shouting out random chanting words can affect his concentration, thus reducing his spell output. His true strength is actually very strong.

Su Qingli listened attentively.

Gauss liked to pretend, but what he liked was probably not the feeling of deliberately putting on an act, but rather something more secretive, done from the perspective of being completely immersed in his own world.

Coincidentally, Bai Shuodong was short of spirit energy points.

Why not bring the two of them together and subtly guide them? Gauss will definitely be able to see through it.

Given Gauss's paid subscriptions, Bai Shuodong would definitely not have any conflicts with him. They should be able to get along quite well from now on, right?

And I...

We should proceed with the next step.

She opened the training room door, looked at another training room not far away, a smile she couldn't hide on her lips, and whispered, "Coincidentally, I also need to accumulate some practical experience."

Everything is fine.

...

The next day

Bai Shuodong arrived at Gauss's private training room. He straightened his clothes slightly, a natural and relaxed smile on his face, and gently knocked on the door.

Soon, Gauss opened the door with a smile and said:

"Oh, you're here."

"Ah."

Bai Shuodong nodded and went inside.

The moment he walked in, he smelled a refreshing fragrance. It smelled wonderful, and after smelling it, his mind seemed to become clearer.

[Hint: You smelled the fragrance of the Mind-Enhancing Balm, temporarily increasing your Comprehension by 1 point]

[Tip: Your mental activity increases by 20% when you enter the realm of tranquility]

[Note: You have received the amplification effect of a medium-sized Spirit Gathering Array, increasing your Spirit Energy Recovery Speed ​​by 300%]

【hint....】

Eight types.

A total of eight different buffs descended simultaneously in that instant.

Looking at the spiritual prompts and then at Gauss beside him, Bai Shuodong suddenly felt like a mortal who had mistakenly entered the heavenly realm.

Is this what life is like for a mage?

With this kind of environment, I'd even give you free sparring!

My private training room, just like his, was practically a clean pigsty!

"Don't look at me like that. This is just a school training room after all. There's nothing of value in it. I just use it temporarily when I'm at school. I mainly cultivate at home," Gauss said casually.

"Ah...is that so?"

Why would I lie to you?

Gauss said matter-of-factly.

"If you don't usually use it, can I come over occasionally to freeload?" Bai Shuodong asked with a smile.

Hey!

This guy may say that, but who knows what's really going on? Maybe he deliberately set it up and was waiting for me here. There are eight different types of buffs. If I really came here every day to freeload, he'd be heartbroken.

"as you like."

Gauss didn't even turn his head, but simply pointed to another bookshelf and said, "Those are my collection items, they have some value to me. You can browse them, but you can't mess them up. And those wands over there, they're all spares. After use, you have to insert them into a fixed equipment slot. That thing is used to automatically repair the wand's durability, and..."

"?"

As Gauss explained it to Bai Shuodong, Bai Shuodong felt a violent blow to his heart, as if his entire worldview was collapsing.

Dude, are you serious?

"...There are spirit liquids on that shelf over there. Drinking them can quickly replenish your spiritual energy. The bottle on top contains spirit marrow that can temporarily increase your spiritual energy limit. That stuff is a bit expensive, and the servants here only replenish it once a month."

"There are servants too?"

"if not?"

Gauss turned his head, looking at him with a puzzled expression, and said, "Otherwise, who do you think set all these things up here? Me? Myself?"

"..."

Bai Shuodong didn't know what to say.

Gauss arrived at the training area, turned to him, and said, "Now, use your slashing ability on the target over there, once with your domain and once without. Let me see what the difference is."
