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

In fact, Luo Yue and his group, living in such a remote and impoverished place, also had their own meditation method, which was passed down from that great witch.

Koro has been training for five years, but he can't even enter a meditative state, let alone awaken his magic...

The old drunkard thought he was mentally unstable, so he sold the most valuable magical artifact in the tower and went to the apothecary to buy him an extremely expensive potion, saying it could increase his intelligence.

However, it still didn't work, so the old drunkard took him around to find famous doctors, and even sold the staff issued by the school for this purpose.

And so, the mage tower, which had some savings to begin with, gradually fell into a state of utter destitution and owed the apothecary a large sum of money. If it weren't for the great witch protecting them, the apothecary would have already come to block their door and throw excrement at them.

"Once I become a mage, I'll have more ways to make money. Then I can pay off the debts I owe in town, and things will definitely get better day by day."

Luo Yue was quite optimistic about Serishina's meditation method. The biggest difference between it and traditional meditation methods is that it starts from the beginner stage to try to resonate with the [Void] and adapt to the environment in advance. When the level is raised later and deep meditation is possible, it can be seamlessly connected.

She also added a special note next to it:

"It's very safe, with a high success rate; there's only a small chance of something going wrong."

This rekindled Royo's hope of becoming a mage.

After leaving the basement, he went straight into the meditation room on the second floor.

This is arguably the most luxurious and exquisite room in the entire "Old Drunkard Mage Tower." The walls and floors are covered with auxiliary magic circles specially drawn by a master. The calming incense in the corner is the most expensive one in the apothecary. Even the recliner is the sturdiest one in the tower, the only one that doesn't creak.

The layout here is far beyond what is expected of the Mage Tower's economic situation, but the old drunkard himself has hardly ever used it, and it has mostly benefited his disciples, especially Roy.

Therefore, he was very familiar with this place. He lit incense with ease and wound up a specially made music box to produce a strange melody, which was used to activate the magic circles.

According to the procedure, he should have taken some more medicine, but unfortunately, Luo Yue drank the last bottle last week, so he had to force himself to take it.

"Come on, let's try out the meditation methods of those 'foreigners' and see if they work."

Luo Yue muttered to himself, settled into a position on the recliner, stared at the mind map on the ceiling, and listened to the melody of the music box, trying to get himself into the zone.

Then, he found himself back in his thought space...

"What's going on? I didn't open my mind space! Wait! Something's not right!"

Luo Yue opened her eyes wide and looked at the town in front of her that was both incredibly familiar and somewhat strange.

I glanced again at the extra figure standing there.

His own back view...

"Why has it switched to a third-person perspective?"

Luo Yue was a little confused and tried scratching his head. The figure behind him scratched his head as if his soul had left his body.

He tried turning around again to see how handsome he really was, but the whole scene spun around, and all he could see was his back.

It seems the viewpoint cannot be rotated freely...

"Does this mean my mindset has shifted from the first-person sandbox environment of Minecraft to the third-person action-adventure game of GTA?"

Luo Yue quickly adjusted to the new perspective and then tried to create the scene as usual.

It didn't work. He seemed to have become a "visitor" like Celesina, unable to control this mental space.

He quickly opened up his mental space.

Now the perspective is back to normal, and we can start creating scenery.

But when he exited the mind space, he couldn't return to reality as usual; instead, he switched back to the perspective of an out-of-body experience.

"Could it be... that I've finally entered a meditative state?"

Luo Yue thought for a moment, his eyes lit up slightly, and he quickly found a bench by the roadside, wanting to sit down and continue.

But then I suddenly froze...

He remembered that the bench was a trap; sitting on it would close in like a bear trap and clamp you down.

The vending machines next to it are also very unsafe. If they detect an enemy approaching, they will open their mouths and swallow people whole. They are filled with dense, sharp spikes, like iron maidens.

Hidden in the grass behind the bench are various types of anti-personnel mines. The fountain in the middle of the grass can jump up and transform into a mech, spewing fire while punching people into pancakes with two punches.

After much deliberation, Luo Yue finally returned to the milk tea shop where he had previously entertained Celishina. Since it was newly opened, it was no different from a normal milk tea shop, except that it sprayed lasers.

The table from before is still there, with the draft paper left behind and the untouched cup of milk tea on it.

Luo Yue wasn't the "boss" anymore, so he couldn't treat himself to milk tea. He picked up the cup on the table and took a sip.

Mmm~ The taste hasn't changed, it's still perfect!

Then he picked up a pen and paper, leaned over the table, and began his calculations.

In fact, meditation is about constantly perceiving and understanding extraordinary knowledge, drawing magic from it, improving cognition, and mastering skills.

Therefore, the underlying principle of extraordinary power can be simply understood as "knowledge is power".

The deep meditation that Serishina briefly introduced utilizes the special environment of the void to accelerate the efficiency of meditation and has the opportunity to capture the mysterious knowledge that roams in the void.

She spoke rather vaguely, and Luo Yue found it abstract. Why does knowledge need to be captured?

But he soon experienced it firsthand.

"Huh? Why is my head itchy? Could it be that my brain is growing?"

Luo Yue felt something drilling into her brain, itchy, tingling, strangely comfortable...

But you can't see anything in your field of vision?

Unfortunately, the pleasure only lasted three seconds before everything returned to normal.

Then Luo Yue discovered that something had appeared in his mind...

To be precise, it's an extra "puzzle piece," consisting of a short, disordered line that doesn't seem to serve any purpose.

It didn't have any impact on him; it was just like seeing a random scene or graffiti on the roadside.

"I'll ask Celine for advice next time I see her... but how should I bring it up?"

Luo Yue realized that her relationship with this eighth-level expert was based on some kind of misunderstanding. She seemed to think that she was something extraordinary, which was why she was so respectful and open with everything she knew.

Once the misunderstanding is cleared up and her "persona" collapses, will she still bother with a country bumpkin like me?

"This is a question that definitely needs careful consideration. How can I maintain my public image while also asking her for advice?"

"Forget it, now is not the time to think about these things. Meditation time is limited. Even the senior students can only maintain it for half an hour at a time, right? I should hurry up and get down to business and see if I can awaken my magic."

Luo Yue quickly cleared his mind of distractions and continued to ponder the 'question' that Celishina had left him.
