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

Chapter 83. New Announcement

Luo Yue then whispered a few more words to Don Quixote and quickly figured out what was wrong.

It turns out that the mindset in the New World is still quite conservative; giving high-value gifts to unmarried women is often interpreted as a sign of courtship.

This tendency is even more pronounced with necklaces, which often carry various symbolic meanings.

This put Luo Yue in an awkward position. Although the beautiful teacher was indeed very pretty, and he would occasionally glance at her, he was simply appreciating her beauty and had no intention of pursuing her.

Giving her the necklace was simply because Celina had always been very kind to her, and since she didn't have many accessories, it would also be a good opportunity to find a way to sell the stolen goods.

"Ahem~ I'm sorry, teacher, I don't quite understand your customs."

Since he had been abrupt, Luo Yue quickly apologized and then, through the perspective of the "larger" version of himself, observed the changes in Celishina's expression.

Her pretty face was still flushed, with the shyness and reserve of a young girl, but at least she wasn't angry anymore.

For some reason, Luo Yue recalled the cute and adorable Serishina in the short videos and suddenly found that kind of unexpected charm in her.

"Since it's a misunderstanding, let's not let it happen again."

As she spoke, Seresina rubbed her face vigorously, then quickly reverted to her usual teacherly demeanor.

Don Quixote smiled knowingly, picked up the necklace, and examined it closely.

"Great stuff! Since you can't give it away anyway, why not sell it to me? I can trade you potions, magical artifacts, gold coins, or knowledge."

It's actually possible to exchange jewelry for magical artifacts?

Luo Yue was secretly delighted, but calmly replied, "That's possible, but could you tell me what you need this for?"

"Huh? Forget about her, why would you ask such a question? Looks like you haven't finished reading my adventure diary yet?"

"I've been a bit busy lately; the Governor has given me some tasks—"

"I see. No wonder you don't even know how to give gifts to women. Well, keep reading and you can learn some of my experience in this area."

Don Quixote, as he spoke, suddenly puffed out his chest and exclaimed, "If picking up girls could be a path, then I could definitely climb to the ninth level!"

After saying this, he prayed to Luo Yue's large name again, then took a magical artifact into the void and threw it to Luo Yue.

"How about this? It should be enough to buy this necklace, right?"

Before Luo Yue could even speak, Serishina came over and picked up the magical artifact to examine it.

"Are you crazy? This is just a craft item, and you're actually trading it for a magic artifact of this caliber?"

"Heh~ It seems you don't know much about the ways of cultivation either?"

Don Quixote smiled, offering no further explanation, and instead looked at Luo Yue, introducing, "This is a very practical detection-type magical artifact. It has remarkable effects in situations where it's not suitable to unleash mental power, such as certain unique secret realms. It can also be used to deal with the pursuit of mystics—"

As he spoke, he glanced at Celishina and continued, "So? Are you willing to trade?"

"No problem, Your Excellency, please be the witness."

Luo Yue then went through the transaction process with Don Quixote in a perfunctory manner, absorbing one-tenth of the necklace's spiritual energy as he passed it over, causing its luster to dim slightly.

The necklace fell directly into Don Quixote's hands from afar. He prayed to the consul again, and the necklace was taken into the void for a careful examination.

At first, he frowned, seemingly feeling cheated, but then he nodded and muttered to himself, "The combination of classic design and this matte finish actually gives it a more historical and sophisticated feel, making it quite unique."

As they were talking, he overheard the person he was with privately saying, "To be honest, I have several similar pieces of jewelry. Are you interested?"

A flash of surprise crossed Don Quixote's face, and he asked, "You robbed a noble family?"

"No, I just went to a secret realm."

Don Quixote immediately understood, revealing a knowing smile, and quickly replied, "No problem, you can have any jewelry of this quality from me, I'll take as much as you want."

"Okay, then we'll trade later."

As Luo Yue spoke, he felt a surge of secret joy.

He had already secretly tested it, and the spiritual energy that the Don Quixote artifact could draw was almost equal to that of three Old World artifacts, not to mention jewels.

If I could exchange all my jewels for magical artifacts of this caliber, I should be able to upgrade another legendary piece of equipment.

But Royo didn't rush into a deal; he had something more important to announce.

Just then, Celestina was also chatting with him privately: "You said the Governor assigned you a task? Is there anything I can do to help?"

"Don't worry, you'll find out soon, Professor."

As he spoke, Royo stood up, facing the direction of the golden crown, and pretended to say something, as if reporting an important situation. Then, a line of golden text appeared before Celishina and Don Quixote: "Very good, announce it."

Then came a long, golden announcement, which startled them slightly, and they quickly began to read it.

The announcement was long and rather flowery, but its core message was simple: recruit people to join and promote an online shopping platform and paid services. In other words, it involved offering sufficiently sincere sacrifices to gain "Enlightenment" or "Mana Source."

This elixir.

Of course, there are also many requirements and restrictions. One must meet the standards in terms of character and strength to join. Transactions are also restricted, and the governor will only respond to transactions of sufficient weight.

Having witnessed the biodiversity of the internet on Earth, Luo Yue still cares quite a bit about the online environment.

The rewards are plentiful and tiered. At the beginning, they are just some superficial ones, such as "titles", "unique appearances", and "private residences". Later on, there are the main rewards such as elixirs, legendary equipment, and secrets.

These items are all rarity-based. Initially, there are only white titles and white appearances, then gold, and then the "unique in the entire server" type of thing.

To better deliver these rewards, Luo Yue has set up a "contribution value" system. For example, recruiting new members earns 10 contribution points, while sacrificing wealth will grant corresponding contribution points based on the specific value. Furthermore, various tasks will be available in the future.

Now that we have contribution points, we naturally need a corresponding leaderboard, and some rewards can only be obtained by ranking high.

This is all to better motivate everyone!

In short, Luo Yue simply adjusted and ported the mechanics of various mobile games from Earth. He spent the entire night working on this, even using the excuse that he was tired and sleepy to brush off his senior's requests.

I just don't know if people in this world can accept it?
