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

The magical artifacts obtained from the Old World seemed numerous, but after looking around, Luo Yue found that not a single one was usable.

Their appearance and workmanship are quite impressive; each piece is a masterpiece of craftsmanship, exuding an artistic flair that truly suits the atmosphere of the "Night Banquet," a gathering place for the elite.

However, in terms of attributes, the best one is only 'basic', and that's still at the 'beginner' level; most of the rest are 'blank'...

It's not that it doesn't have any attributes, it's just that the bonus is so low that wearing it is like self-comfort.

The key is that their quality is actually not low. The lowest is 'Blue Excellent', and there are a few 'Purple Superior'. Luo Yue also tried to use [Spirituality] to improve their quality to 'Gold Perfect', but there was no change.

These ritual implements are not entirely useless; when used to absorb spiritual energy, the amount they provide is not reduced.

This explains that what affects the attributes of magical artifacts is not simply their quality or [spiritual value], but something else entirely...

"A significant generational gap has already emerged between the old and new worlds. The ingenuity of the old world can only be used as 'enhancement material' or 'dog food,' giving the feeling that the craftsmanship of immortals has been crushed by modern industry."

Luo Yue sighed, then calculated the [spirituality] he had on hand. He should be able to enhance another 'legendary' level item, but that would obviously not be worthwhile. It would be better to enhance three '+3' items first.

He had already chosen his enhancement targets: a pocket watch, a hammerhead shark plush toy, and a void artifact for "online classes." [Record]

These three items consume different amounts of spiritual energy. The pocket watch and ritual knife are in the same category, the online course ritual artifact consumes even more, and the hammerhead shark doll consumes almost the sum of the former two.

"The remaining [spirituality] may not be enough, but fortunately the gap is not large. We can just draw on a few pieces of dog food when needed."

Luo Yue had basically finalized his plan and began enhancing the pocket watch. Three options immediately appeared before him—

Increase Mana Shield Strength (Advanced)

[Reduce Mana Shield Cost (Advanced)]

[The Mana Shield possesses elemental resistance (special)]

"A special option appeared on the very first try? Was it just good luck, or is the watch itself of high quality?"

Luo Yue was delighted. Instead of making a choice, he first watched the demonstration video.

The scene first shows Celishina's stunningly beautiful face, brimming with happiness and sweetness, and tinged with a faint blush. She is like a young girl in love, nestled in a man's arms.

And that man...

Ah~ What a handsome, dashing, elegant, mature, composed, reserved, sunny, healing, refined, and easy-going young man!

"Why am I an actor now? And what's this role of a rebellious disciple who clashes with his master?"

Luo Yue looked at himself and the beautiful female teacher, who were so affectionate, and couldn't help but complain.

But the next second, even Senior Sister Lemir appeared.

Her face was grim, her eyes flashed with a bloody red light, and she held a butcher's knife, plunging it into Celishina's heart.

Serishina hurriedly erected a magical shield, but it shattered upon contact with the blade. She was stabbed in the heart by the butcher's knife and collapsed limply to the ground.

She lay there with her eyes wide open, staring unhappily, like a helpless wife watching as Lemir abducted Royo…

Then the scene shifted, and she suddenly had a pocket watch in her hand. When her senior's dagger came at her again, she blocked it steadily. After that, her senior stabbed her several more times, but failed to break through the magic shield. Instead, she exhausted herself.

She could only kneel on the ground, panting heavily, like a helpless victim, watching Celesina and Royo continue their passionate embrace...

"How can a simple effects demonstration be turned into a short drama with a plot?"

Luo Yue was both amused and exasperated. She quickly looked at the other options, only to find that the plots were all similar: a love triangle and a senior student stabbing a teacher.

It's only in these short dramas that you can see how Serishina, an eighth-tier powerhouse, gets humiliated. If it were in real life, even if she were naked and just stood there letting Lemir stab her, it wouldn't do any good.

Luo Yue didn't hesitate much and chose the third special option, which made the mana shield more effective against elemental magic such as [Fireball].

In the second enhancement, the third option changed to [Increase Elemental Resistance (Advanced)]

Luo Yue continued to choose the third option, and only chose to increase the strength of the mana shield during the next enhancement.

Through the previous street brawls and the subsequent Night Banquet trip, he gained some initial understanding of the combat patterns of the old world, which were clearly still dominated by magic. He was confident that he could improve his skills in this area.

As for the effect of reducing consumption, it is more suitable for being ganged up on or in a protracted battle. As long as you don't do anything reckless, you shouldn't fall into such a situation.

After reinforcing the pocket watch, which was his life-saving item, Luo Yue selected a few less artistically significant items from his previous spoils, absorbed all their spiritual energy, and then began reinforcing the hammerhead shark plush toy.

This magical puppet's base attributes are quite different from other equipment; it starts with four attributes—

[Rank Boost (Intermediate)], [Transformation], [Speed ​​Boost (Advanced)], [Defense Boost (Advanced)]

This "rank advancement" involves the concept of "rank," which Luo Yue currently doesn't know much about. He only roughly knows that it is an important indicator that distinguishes between superhumans and ordinary people. There will be three rank advancements at the 3rd, 5th, and 7th ranks, and the advancements are greater at each subsequent rank.

Higher-ranking individuals have an overwhelming advantage over lower-ranking individuals. This is why a sixth-ranking individual is like an ant in front of a seventh-ranking individual, while a seventh-ranking individual can hold their own against an eighth-ranking individual. This is the effect of rank.

The reason why the Hammerhead Shark Puppet possesses Tier 6 combat power is that the Engineer can grant creations a status through the unique ability of its path.

To Luo Yue's slight disappointment, after upgrading the Hammerhead Shark plushie, no position-related options appeared; instead, three somewhat unusual ones emerged—

[Invisibility (Special)]

[Automatic Repair (Special)]

[Automatic Energy Regeneration (Special)]

He then focused his attention on the first option and watched the short video.

The first one to appear was, as always, the lead actress, Celestina…

She was taking a bath in a steamy bathroom, her eyes narrowed into crescents, her face relaxed, her legs propped up on the edge of the tub, revealing her fair and rosy feet, still glistening with water droplets, looking incredibly tempting.

Unbeknownst to her, a semi-transparent hammerhead shark plush toy was floating in a corner, quietly admiring the beautiful scene.

"Such a powerful invisibility function, you're just using it to spy on people showering, aren't you?"

Luo Yue couldn't help but complain.

This short video is getting more and more outrageous...
