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

Luo Yue sat down at the desk, looking at the book in his hand, but soon put it down, looking like he had a headache and kept rubbing his eyes.

This book shouldn't be called "An Introduction to Mysticism," it should be called "An Introduction to Anti-Human Riddles."

The entire text is filled with mysterious and ambiguous descriptions, various complex and long sentences, and is full of rare characters and professional terms, making it particularly obscure and difficult to understand. The punctuation is also very scarce, which makes the reader feel suffocated and dizzy. At the same time, the dense font makes the eyes swell and makes people wonder if this thing is even meant for carbon-based life forms to read.

After forcing myself to watch for a while, several questions inevitably arose in my mind:

"Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?"

Reading can turn a person into a sage; no wonder the mysticism of the old world couldn't develop...

Luo Yue paused for a moment, then picked up a spellbook from the bookshelf that contained first-tier spells.

The result was slightly better than the previous one, but only slightly better, still falling into the category of abstract and anti-human.

There are no formulas, the experience summaries are mystical, and the difficulties and key points are not summarized.

"It seems that knowledge barriers not only exist in the dissemination of knowledge, but also limit the understanding of knowledge. If I hadn't been lucky enough to meet my beautiful teacher, I probably would never have become a mage in this lifetime."

It was at this moment that Royo realized what it meant to "stand on the shoulders of giants" and felt that Celestina was exceptionally good.

These books in my hands are not meant to be read; they are only for show and to provide cover.

He simply picked up the book and began to meditate, hoping that his senior might come back tonight.

As a result, they waited until midnight, and even though they were so sleepy, they still didn't see that beautiful figure.

Luo Yue had no choice but to make do with the sofa for the night.

I had been hoping to wake up to find my senior classmate by my bedside like we used to, but all I saw was an unfamiliar ceiling...

"He hasn't come back all night. Is he that busy with work? It seems Captain Doss wasn't lying to me; this place called the Law Hunters is definitely not a normal place for people!"

Having no other choice, Luo Yue picked out a few books from the study to show off and took them with her. She also left a note for her senior, saying that she had been there and borrowed a few books.

He needed to go back and engrave the scrolls, and also borrow Hugo's practice area to practice the first-tier spells he had learned last night.

When he ran back to the mage tower with the book in his arms, he saw Austin getting off the carriage and waving at him.

I haven't seen him for a few days since I complained about the rich girl next door, but he looks pretty good, and the bloodshot in his eyes is gone.

"My supervisor sent me out to buy supplies, and I'm finally back. How have you been lately? Did everything go smoothly?"

Austin approached Royo, speaking while noticing the book in his arms.

"This was issued by the academy? You've completed the verification?"

Strictly speaking, no...

Luo Yue smiled and told him about what happened yesterday.

Austin listened, stunned, and then quickly exclaimed:

"So the newly emerging hunter of magic, Lemir, is really your senior? I always thought it was just a coincidence of names."

"You probably already knew it was her, but you didn't tell me, did you?"

"Hehe~ I'm worried that if you find out, you won't be willing to help me anymore. After all, she's much more influential than us small fry these days, and you know, she's always hated me."

"Sigh~ Do you really think I'm that much of a gigolo?"

Luo Yue wasn't angry, just a little helpless, and then changed the subject to ask:

"By the way, have you heard of the [Night Banquet]? I think it's a secret realm?"

Austin's eyes widened instantly.

"My God! Are you sure you're talking about 'The Banquet'? That's a place so many people dream of visiting. Where did you hear that from?"

He then pulled Luo Yue to a quiet spot to sit down and began to explain the science behind the scenes.

[Secret Realms], or the 'dungeons' of this world, are generally divided into two categories—

One type is the most common ordinary secret realm, which may be large or small. You can enter to fight monsters, search for treasures, and mine. All of these activities are one-time only. If you take away a special resource called the "Secret Realm Core", the entire secret realm will collapse and disappear.

Another type is the rare rule-based secret realm, which is often filled with all sorts of bizarre and wonderful scenes, accompanied by all sorts of strange and wonderful secret realm rules. It may be a reward, but more often it is a dangerous death game.

The Secret Realm is undoubtedly extremely dangerous, but the rewards are also incredibly rich. Various resources often refresh and reset, and the [Secret Realm Core] is almost impossible to find. It's truly a "Grand Stage for Secret Realms—come if you're lucky."

Among these, there is one that is particularly dangerous, known as the "Abyss." The monsters inside are extremely powerful and endless, and they will attack the entrance to the secret realm, running out to wreak havoc on the world. A massive amount of combat power must be invested to guard it.

However, in contrast, there is also a very safe, almost free, secret realm called "Paradise," where you can simply enter and play games to receive generous rewards.

The "Night Banquet" mentioned by the senior student is a "paradise" belonging to the Duchy of Andesai.

It opens once every three years, allowing a maximum of 30 people to enter. It offers substantial rewards with virtually no danger.

The most crucial unique product is called the "Source of Magic." Absorbing it permanently increases cultivation efficiency and magic recovery speed, making it a rare and invaluable treasure.

Austin didn't know exactly how to obtain it; at his and Hugo's level, they couldn't possibly snag a spot there.

"So if Lemir can really get you a spot there, marry her. I'll give you my blessings."

Austin said sincerely.

But Royo shook her head.

"If there really is a spot, I will definitely let my senior go. Her talent is much better than mine."

He roughly calculated last night that, based on his current rate of magical power growth, he would need about three more months of arduous training before his next advancement. If he meditated ten times a day, that would be more than 900 meditations.

This is mainly because the standard expansion from second to third tier is too rapid, and his liquid magic is difficult to improve, resulting in a very uneven growth curve...

The senior student was kicked out by the old drunkard to train shortly after advancing to the second rank. It took her only a year and a half to reach the third rank. According to the "unspoken rule" of meditating only once a day, she only meditated a total of more than 500 times.

Based on this calculation, the senior's talent is almost twice that of mine...

Therefore, Luo Yue never thought he was particularly talented; he just relied on his ability to meditate multiple times a day to keep working himself to the bone.

With a beautiful female teacher and a crazy engineer by my side, I should naturally give this opportunity to my senior.

My senior has been incredibly kind to me, so of course I should be kind to her too!
