I materialized a sci-fi fortress in a magical world.

Luo tried to struggle, but unfortunately he was eventually captured...

Fortunately, the boss didn't actually poke him with a pitchfork. He just led him back to the shop, let him sit on the sofa in the reception room, and then asked the shop assistants to bring him tea and pastries.

"Hmph~ You think you can get away? Tell me, how many days have you not eaten?"

The boss looked at Luo Yue, who was wolfing down his food, and asked coldly.

"The village sent over a big bag of potatoes, so we're not starving, but we haven't had anything sweet in a long time."

Luo Yue quickly devoured the pastries, wiped his mouth, and then, like a schoolboy who had made a mistake, whispered:

"Um... I'll pay you back the money I owe you as soon as possible. I'm going to Maple Leaf City to work for 'Passionate Hugo' right now; I can earn a lot of money there."

"Hmph~ I'm willing to give you this entire pharmacy, why would I be short of a little money?"

"But... Sister Mira and Brother Santo have been in love for many years..."

"Shut up!"

The boss suddenly roared, his face turning ashen, which frightened Luo Yue so much that she dared not speak up anymore, and the entire reception room fell silent.

After a while, the boss calmed down and asked:

"Hugo was indeed a highly respected master, but you're not even a monk, so what kind of work could you possibly get from him? Cleaning toilets?"

"How is that possible? Haven't you noticed? I'm already a mage."

Luo Yue finally found an opportunity to bring it up, and quickly spread his hands, releasing a wisp of pale blue magic from his palms to show that he was not lying.

The boss wasn't surprised at all; it was only to be expected. His expression softened considerably, and his tone carried a hint of relief.

"Hmph~ It's a bit late, but at least the efforts of so many people weren't wasted."

After saying that, he called over a waiter to bring over five bottles of potions to restore magic power and handed them to Luo Yue.

"Consider this my congratulatory gift. I've already covered the money for everyone else in town; you can pay me back when you've earned your money."

"Hehe~ Thanks a lot, I knew you were the most reliable person in this town."

"Hmph~ When you get to Hugo's place, remember to learn from him. He's not your drunken mentor. You'll only have a real future if you follow him."

Luo Yue understood the implication in those words; it was clear that they hoped he would switch his allegiance to Hugo.

That is of course impossible.

Luo Yue never thought he could achieve great things; his biggest wish was to make the people around him live well.

But he didn't want to go against his boss at this time, so he nodded and replied:

"I'll consider it."

"Hmph~ When you get to Hugo's place, remember to interact with the outstanding young people in the city and make more friends. This will benefit you in the future, but also be careful. Some people in the city have dirty hearts."

"Yes, I will remember."

"Actually, I can tell that my daughter isn't completely indifferent to you. In the future, I can help you buy a property in Maple Leaf City so you won't have to stay in this remote mountain town."

"Goodbye, Brother Shandu is a good man. He helped the town drive away many bandits and never took any money..."

"Shut up!"

........................

After a hearty lunch at the pharmacy, Luo Yue rubbed his stomach and got into the owner's most luxurious carriage in town.

The carriage was more spacious than his room, and the seats were softer than his small wooden bed.

He also had a large package next to him, filled with food that Mira had specially prepared for him, as well as several new outfits that the boss had taken him to buy. The package was bulging, which moved Royo deeply.

The boss is a good man, but unfortunately he's too stubborn about his daughter's marriage; no amount of persuasion can change his mind...

In fact, Luo Yue knew the boss even earlier than the old drunkard. He met the boss when he was still in the small mountain village. Later, through the boss's connections, a stable supply of raw materials was established with several other nearby villages, and everyone benefited from it.

He then offered advice to his boss and helped him expand his sales channels. From then on, his boss favored him and gave him a lot in return. Otherwise, the amount of money he owed would not be what it is now.

"I owe a total of ten gold coins. Converted to Earth, that's enough to buy 150 x 648 RMB worth of in-game currency in a pay-to-win mobile game. How many potions have I wasted?"

Looking at the bill his boss gave him, even though it had been rounded down and interest wasn't included, Luo Yue still felt immense pressure.

A wealthy peasant family like Larta's could only earn 3 gold coins a year after all their hard work...

Fortunately, Hugo had said in his letter that as long as he helped for a month, he would be guaranteed a minimum of 50 silver coins, which is half a gold coin. If he worked hard and did a good job, there would be additional rewards, which gave Royo a glimmer of hope.

"Unfortunately, I can't stay there for long. I still have to come back and guard my own mage tower. I'll have to find another way to make money in the long run..."

"Perhaps we could ask that 95-year-old beautiful young teacher if she knows any quick ways to make money?"

Luo Yue pondered this in his mind and simply entered a meditative state in the carriage.

Unfortunately, Seresina did not appear for the next two days of the trip.

Luo Yue could understand; the other party was an eighth-level expert, a leader of the school, not his tutor.

He didn't waste these two days. By reviewing the previous lessons and adding his own understanding, he successfully learned [Basic Divination], as well as two additional basic spells taught by Selene: [Burning] and [Electric Shock].

Divination is a signature skill of mystics, capable of predicting and seeking answers to many questions. Even beginners can predict the weather and calculate fortunes.

However, Seresina emphasized that no matter how skillful the divination technique is, it cannot accurately predict the future; it can only speculate on a general trend.

As for the two basic spells, they are to ignite a flame in the palm of one's hand and release an electric current. They are not very offensive and are mainly used to heat beakers and crucibles, as well as to drive equipment and devices. Therefore, they are the most commonly used type of spells.

"You must remember that no matter what kind of power or superhuman being it is, it is not for fighting and killing. What we should do is make this world a better place."

After teaching her the two spells, Serishina gave her a heartfelt piece of advice.

This was the mindset of an eighth-tier powerhouse, which Luo Yue deeply agreed with.

But for some reason, the first time he tried to use [burning], the blue flames that erupted from his palm burned a large hole in the carriage...

"Perhaps it's because you're not skilled enough yet?"

So he tried a few more times, successfully creating even more holes in the carriage...

The burning smell startled the driver, who thought there was a fire.

There was no other way but to delay the trip by half a day and go to a town near Maple Leaf City to repair the carriage.

The amount owed also increased by 20 silver coins...

While Luo Yue was waiting for his car to be repaired and strolling around town, the beautiful female teacher he had been longing for finally "refreshed".
