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

"If nothing unexpected happens, this person's name is Don Quixote, a highly controversial Tier 7 engineer, nicknamed 'the mechanical madman' or 'the engineering fanatic'."

"Do you know him, Professor?"

"Not really, we've only met a few times. The two extra arms on his back are his meticulously crafted mechanical arms, which have become one with his flesh and blood and are particularly conspicuous, so you can recognize him even through this fog."

Serishina gave a brief explanation, then changed the subject and asked:

"He's fine, he just needs some rest. Oh, right, I remember there's a place around here called Arkham Asylum? Let's take him there."

She remembered that when she first came in, she was so shocked that she fainted. When she woke up, she was sleeping in that mental hospital, and her body was tightly bound with leather belts. She was terrified.

Luo Yue chuckled to himself. That mental hospital was something he had just casually put together, with only one ward, just to scare Celestina.

This is perfect for getting the four-armed guy inside; it's better than him lying on the floor.

So Luo Yue opened up his mind again, and operated on two lines, throwing the four arms onto the hospital bed and binding them with leather belts.

To Seresina, it was as if the person in front of her had vanished in an instant, which gave her a small fright.

"This is the power of space! As expected, the Governor possesses a realm beyond human reach; no wonder transactions can be conducted here."

She sighed inwardly, then followed Luo Yue back to the milk tea shop where they had class, and they started talking about this crazy seventh-level engineer.

When this guy first emerged, he was an undisputed genius. In his early fifties, he reached the seventh rank on the emerging path of "Engineer". Many people bet on him to break Celisina's record and become the youngest eighth rank.

Unfortunately, he went too far and went mad. He put forward a theory of "flesh and blood suffering and weakness" and wanted to mechanize the human body. He also set an example by implanting two mechanical arms into his body.

This naturally drew much criticism and made him an unpopular figure.

But aside from his overly radical ideas, he has never committed any inhumane acts such as human experimentation or forced modification.

On the contrary, they were actively promoting the introduction of supernatural powers into production and daily life, and came up with new inventions such as power plants, assembly lines, and steam cars based on magic and other supernatural powers, which greatly improved the lives of ordinary people.

However, he seems to have little interest in force, not only repeatedly declaring publicly that supernatural power should be used to make the world a better place, not to kill, but also refusing to create weapons and attack golems for people.

His reputation and popularity naturally worsened...

After listening to Celishina's description, Luo Yue actually had a pretty good impression of this guy. Apart from being too radical and talking nonsense, he seemed to be a pretty good person.

Somehow, this guy somehow ended up in the thought space. Anyway, as soon as Luo Yue woke up in the morning, he saw him observing the two mechs guarding the gate, muttering to himself:

"What's the purpose of the leg structure on this golem? There must be a better solution if it's just for support, right?"

"That's probably some kind of powerful weapon. It seems the owner of this place reveres violence. I need to be careful..."

"The architectural design here is also very unique. How do they support the weight of such tall buildings? How much material would it take to build them? How do people get in and out? Are they the residences of superhumans? Do they fly up there?"

Judging from these reactions, he is definitely not a time traveler. Otherwise, someone with this engineering-oriented style wouldn't be unaware of elevators and mechas.

Compared to Seresina's initial restraint, he was much bolder. After circling the mecha a few times, he even dared to reach out and touch it...

The consequence was that he was slapped and sent flying into the fountain square, where he has remained unconscious ever since.

Luo Yue felt that this person might be difficult to handle, unlike Celine, who was easy to coax. He wondered if he could maintain his governor persona.

We can only wait until he wakes up to discuss it further.

So, during this time, he talked to Celishina about the new trading features.

Strictly speaking, this isn't the kind of trading seen in online games; it's more akin to a sacrifice or a bestowal.

The two parties in the transaction offer their items as a sacrifice to Royo's "Greater One," which then bestows them upon each other, thus achieving the purpose of the transaction.

As for the "commission," it involves the additional functions that extend from the new features—[Spiritual Absorption] and [Spiritual Gifting].

Luo Yue is not quite sure what this "spirituality" specifically refers to or what its effects are. Anyway, he tried it on a scroll he carved himself. The scroll became old after being absorbed, and the patterns on it faded, so the effect would probably be weakened.

However, you can return the absorbed spiritual energy back to the reel, and it will return to normal.

He had nothing else to try, so for now he could only simply understand this "spirituality" as "item level" or "enhancement level".

With this additional feature, the "commission" can be established. Otherwise, if someone uses a potion to exchange for a piece of equipment, there's nothing that can be done. You can't just take a sip of the potion and then pry some parts off the equipment, can you?

Of course, he didn't spend any money on the entire transaction and commission process; he just put in some effort. So he didn't feel comfortable setting a high commission rate. Taking 10% from each side should be about right.

The announcement also clearly stated that the commission would reduce the "spirituality" level. This is something that cannot be hidden, otherwise, if it is discovered, the transaction will be canceled.

As for the specific use of the "spiritual essence" drawn, we can study it slowly later; let's get it first.

Luo Yue chatted with his beautiful young teacher and found that she didn't know what "spirituality" meant either. She was quite curious about it and even encouraged Luo Yue to ask the governor.

If I knew why I was asking you...

Luo Yue muttered something to himself, but said aloud in a perfunctory manner:

"The Consul did not answer my question."

"He didn't respond to me either."

As she spoke, Seresina tried to smooth things over herself:

"We shouldn't always rely on Him. After all, He is a high and mighty deity and has no obligation to answer our questions. We can study many problems ourselves... Come on, let's try trading now."

As she spoke, she conjured up the "online class" artifact that Luo Yue really liked from her chest.

"But I can't afford something so expensive..."

"It's alright, I was planning to give it to you anyway. Just find something to trade with, preferably another magical artifact, or fluorite?"

"I don't have any... Would spell scrolls work? I'll carve them myself."

"Huh? You can actually engrave scrolls yourself? Then use this one, let me see how good your engraving skills are."
