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

Speaking of Luo Yue's process of "reversely" producing the [Source of Magic], at first he tried all sorts of things to summon the mecha again, but he found that the previous [Spiritual Endowment] had a new function, and then that cup of dark green viscous liquid came into being.

It still increases both cultivation speed and mana recovery, but the percentage has increased from 30% to 50%, almost doubling.

This is probably related to quality. Although the genuine [Miracle Source] is packaged quite nicely, its quality is not as good as the dark green paste that Luo Yue made.

Next, Luo Yue tried other types of potions, but none of them worked. Perhaps only a special one like [Mana Source] would work.

He couldn't explain the specific principles either, only saying, "I think this might work," which leans more towards practical science...

As for how to summon the mech, that was completely a mystery...

Luo Yue could only express his regret:

"Sigh~ I should have played slower back then, and enjoyed it more."

But no matter what, it was the first time that something from his mental space had been brought into reality, and with two mechs at once, Luo Yue saw the possibility of putting his dreams into practice, no longer just wishful thinking.

"Alright, senior, hurry up and meditate while the potion is still working."

After being hugged and kissed a few times by Lemir, Luo Yue reminded her of something, then stopped the tenderness and returned to her own private room.

He didn't reveal the truth about the [Fountain of Magic] to his senior, and he doesn't plan to sell it for the time being.

Because this thing consumes a lot of spiritual energy, I made two portions. The ball of spiritual energy I had collected before, about the size of a basketball, visibly shrank.

He then rummaged through the luggage he had received as compensation on the 8th and found a magical artifact with duplicate functions. He used [Spiritual Absorption] to completely drain it, and only a small wisp of [Spiritual Energy] remained.

Based on this ratio, it would take using up more than a dozen magical artifacts to create just one [Source of Magic]...

Moreover, these hollowed-out magical artifacts are not only completely unusable in terms of function, but also look like they have been through a long war, becoming dilapidated and losing all their collectible value.

Besides the high cost, it's also difficult to explain its origin, which could bring considerable trouble, creating a sense of "being guilty of possessing a treasure."

Therefore, hiring outsiders is definitely not an option; we can only consider trustworthy family members.

"I still need a strong protective umbrella, but of course, it would be best if I had the ability to protect myself."

Luo Yue sighed softly and began meditating again.

With the effect of [Mana Source], he could clearly feel that the speed at which magic power accumulated had increased. He had previously estimated that it would take three months of hard training to advance to the third rank, but now the time had been shortened by half, and it seemed that he could catch up with his senior's pace.

No, she also drank the [Fountain of Magic], so she's even faster...

And so, time flew by and the next morning arrived. Luo Yue finished his all-night meditation, feeling neither tired nor sleepy, but hungry and needing to eat something before continuing.

But then, someone knocked on the door again.

"Hello~ I'm McVeigh, from the same school of thought as you. Do you have time to chat?"

"I have already taken the [Fountain of Magic]."

"I guessed that, so I'm just chatting and wanted to ask you about that arena."

Luo Yue hesitated for a moment, then went to open the door.

He doesn't have a strong sense of belonging to the Purple Lily School, but he has directly or indirectly benefited from it, so it's still possible for him to meet and chat with them.

Outside the door stood a young man of similar age, but his demeanor clearly indicated he was a nobleman's son. He had a very eager smile on his face and even extended his hand.

"May I have the honor of knowing your name?"

"Royo, from the tower of Joshua the Mage."

Luo Yue also reached out and shook hands with the other person.

"The Tower of Joshua the Mage?"

McVis frowned slightly, unable to recall where he had heard the name before.

"Many people also call it the Old Drunkard Mage Tower."

Luo Yue explained simply.

McWest immediately looked enlightened and tapped his palm with his fist.

"I remember now, it's that mage tower that's quite famous within the school... cough cough~ I mean, the one that's renowned within the school."

He probably meant to say something about the old drunkard trying to cheat people by passing off ale as a remedy, and being punished and reprimanded by the school, but then he felt it wasn't appropriate to say it that way and forcibly changed his mind.

A public criticism from the entire school of thought is certainly considered "quite prestigious," isn't it?

Luo Yue didn't mind this small matter, so he led him to sit on the sofa in the private room and pointed to the pastries on the coffee table.

Please make yourself at home.

"OK."

Instead of getting the pastries, McVeigh observed Royo carefully for a moment, then asked hesitantly:

"Um...no disrespect intended, but I don't seem to see your school's insignia?"

"Here you go~"

Luo Yue pulled out a wooden-based badge with a bronze lily-shaped emblem inlaid around the edge.

This was sent to him by the school after he completed the certification process with the help of his senior. His senior had handed it to him on the way, along with the corresponding certificate, which he had on him but was not wearing.

"You're really only at level one?"

A look of deep surprise flashed across McVeigh's eyes. He quickly took out his insignia, which, like his senior's, had a black iron base with a silver trim, proving that he was a third-tier mage.

Then he asked:

"You managed to get a 30-game winning streak in that arena at Tier 1? And you seem to be able to use Tier 3 [Explosive Flame]?"

"To be honest, I'm somewhat confident in my ability to engrave scrolls."

Luo Yue took out a half-used scroll and generously handed it to the other person to look at.

McVision took it, examined it carefully, and his surprise deepened.

"To achieve such perfect quality with such a complex reel is truly amazing! I'm ashamed to say I've never heard of such a skilled craftsman before..."

"It's okay, it's not too late to know now."

Luo Yue smiled and then said:

"As for the Colosseum, I don't think it's difficult; it's quite simple."

"Hmm, I've been watching from up there the whole time. You seemed to be handling things with ease, and your spellcasting was very skillful. It's not just skillful; your equipment and magical artifacts must be quite impressive too. It seems I must visit your mage tower sometime."

McVis offered a subtle compliment, then remarked with a sigh:

"I used to be arrogant and thought I was the best among the younger generation, but now it seems that I was both arrogant and foolish."

"Please don't say that. You must be very outstanding to have been chosen to participate in the [Night Banquet]."

Royo also exchanged some compliments, which pleased McVeigh, who smiled and said:

"Speaking of which, this place is really great for cultivation. I meditated for eight hours straight without feeling tired at all."

Eight hours? Isn't that my daily routine?
