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

Luo Yue's vision blurred for a moment, followed by the distortion and reversal of the surrounding scenery, as if he were traveling through time and space.

A few seconds later, his vision returned to normal, and he found himself in a magnificent and luxurious theater.

It's like the style of a high-end concert, with a stage covered by a dark red curtain in front of you and rows of seats behind you, capable of accommodating tens of thousands of people.

Above those seats on the second floor, there was a ring of luxury private rooms, each covered by curtains with numbers from 1 to 30 written on them.

These private rooms are where these "guests" will stay for the next three days.

Although it's called "Night Banquet," the decorations are more like a performance theater, quite a deviation...

Luo Yue looked at the senior she was holding tightly and found that she still had her eyes closed and seemed to be in a daze. She didn't seem to have recovered from the dizziness of entering the secret realm. Even when Luo Yue reached out and pinched her cheek, she didn't react at all.

The rest of the people stood motionless around Luo Yue, with piles of various bags at their feet.

"The things in his bag must be quite valuable, right? If it were Don Quixote, he would have definitely stolen them..."

Luo Yue smiled inwardly, but dared not make any rash moves.

Because the "guide" that my senior copied mentioned that there are ways to find out what's happening inside the secret realm, and they even send people to keep a close watch on it...

In addition, his mystical intuition was constantly stirring, reminding him that there was a gaze watching him from behind the curtain, not with malice, but full of doubt and curiosity.

Just then, the gaze shifted from Luo Yue, and several lines of golden text appeared before his eyes:

Welcome to the Night Banquet. To ensure a pleasant three-day experience, please be sure to follow these rules:

1. Show respect to the master of this place and do your best to please Him.

2. Please maintain your composure; any unseemly behavior will result in being expelled.

3. Any action that goes against the master's wishes is not allowed and will result in expulsion.

"So these are the rules of the secret realm? Just as the guide said, they're quite simple? But according to Don Quixote's experience, the simpler and more lenient the rules, the harder they are to follow..."

Luo Yue probably watched too much of "Don Quixote's Crazy Adventures." When he saw these rules of the secret realm, he didn't think about how to abide by them or avoid them, but rather how to exploit loopholes and trick people...

This sixth guy once exploited a loophole in the rules, swindling everyone else in the secret realm so he could enjoy all the glory of the entire realm for himself.

But that time, apart from Don Quixote, who was at the seventh rank, the rest were all at the fourth or fifth rank, so this kind of gameplay was essentially based on an absolute difference in strength.

Even if Luo Yue wanted to emulate him, he lacked the strength and confidence to escape the pursuit of those outside the secret realm after leaving it.

The fancy moves made by a seventh-tier expert are not something a newbie like him, who has only been cultivating for less than two months, can learn.

Therefore, Luo Yue's main goal for this trip is to take advantage of the special environment here to cultivate diligently, and then try to obtain a [Source of Magic].

The problem is, he has been waiting in the same spot for more than ten minutes, and those people standing around him still haven't woken up.

A few more minutes passed before the senior student next to her, Lemir, finally reacted, her long eyelashes trembling slightly as she opened her eyes.

"Huh? Junior? I've... entered the [Night Banquet]?"

Once Lemir realized his predicament, he quickly asked.

"Shh~ Keep your voice down, this invitation was given to me by that princess. She told me not to tell anyone, so please keep it a secret for me, senior!"

"Okay, sure!"

Although Lemir was puzzled as to why the princess would send an invitation to her junior schoolmate, she didn't ask any further questions since it was a secret. She quickly observed her surroundings and then looked at the golden words that appeared in her eyes.

At this moment, a wealthy young man standing near the front also woke up. Looking around and seeing that the others were still motionless, he couldn't help but let out an excited cheer:

"Great! I was the first to wake up, which means I'm the best among them and have a greater chance of..."

As he was talking, he saw Royo and Lemir standing behind him. The former even nodded to him politely as a greeting.

The wealthy young man immediately looked embarrassed and fell silent...

After him, more and more people woke up. Once everyone was awake, the dark red curtain on the stage suddenly stirred, and a large hand reached out from behind.

To be precise, they are five thin, sharp spikes, about ten meters long, gathered together to barely form the shape of a hand, without even a palm, looking more like a pair of fine tweezers pieced together.

Through the gap in the curtain, Luo Yue felt a clearer gaze; the owner of the 'tweezers' must be scrutinizing him.

Then, a melody that sounded like an impromptu performance came from behind the curtain, and the golden words reappeared before everyone's eyes:

Dear guests, please be seated.

Each person's invitation has a number that corresponds to a private room on the second floor.

However, to get to the boxes from under the stage, you need to walk through almost the entire theater, find the staircase behind the rows of seats, climb the stairs to the second floor, and then follow a corridor to find the specific box entrance.

The distance wasn't far, but it was still a small challenge for someone carrying large and small bags.

Royo and Lemir were certainly unconcerned; all they had were their backpacks, which meant they had skipped the first small challenge.

Some well-prepared individuals were naturally unafraid and began to display their unique abilities.

Someone took out a bottle of medicine and drank it. His muscles immediately swelled up, and then he carried his luggage like a dockworker.

Some people's suitcases are specially made, with wheels at the bottom and chains attached, so they can be dragged around.

Others were strong enough to directly use the third-tier [Mage's Hand], using a large hand formed from magic to lift up the luggage;

Some people even brought in folding trolleys...

However, some people seemed to have not read the guide. Looking at the huge pile of luggage at their feet, they were so anxious that they scratched their heads and looked around again before spotting Royo and Lemir, who were traveling light.

"Wait a moment!"

The man quickly caught up from behind and called out to Luo Yue.

"I am the only son of Earl Walsh, the first in line to the throne, and I would like to hire you to help me move my luggage to Box 22."

Luo Yue stopped in his tracks, initially hesitant, but then he saw the man pull a money pouch from his pocket and throw it at his feet.

"Hurry up, all this money is yours."
