Dark Eldar

In the Otherworldly Training Grounds (511382), Schopenhauer, who had just been promoted to Elder, was dismissive of young Loki's suggestion of a "divine artifact." In his traditional leveling-up mindset, the probability of a mid-level mage forging a "legendary artifact" (gold) was extremely small.

Schopenhauer received a great otherworldly education from a young age, seemingly "orthodox," but actually "narrow-minded." "Order" has long since opened a "direct path to higher ranks." Since only a very small number of heroes can obtain "advanced otherworldly titles" through this method, and most importantly, they benefit from it, obtaining a truly personal "artifact" (soul-bound). In previous versions, renowned "academic geniuses" forged (accessories, "The Deceitful's Bracelet") using their professional knowledge, and others obtained "legendary artifacts" through team dungeons. In summary: because this development path is too difficult, and later, due to the faster pace of life, "fast food" became very popular for a period. "Starting at max level" isn't anything new, but Order doesn't need to "widespread" it. If everyone starts at max level, all previous updates would become "worthless." Order's deductive ability is unquestionable; what is beneficial to the system? What poses a potential threat? They knew it perfectly well.

"Loki, if you want to try, you can apply directly to Professor Joseph. I think you should think it over before you go to Jinyan." Schopenhauer was much more handsome when he was young than he is now. The current Elder Schopenhauer has become more dignified, and his hair color is darker. (The change in the elder hero's hair color reveals Schopenhauer's psychological shift. Back then, he may have aspired to the position of Grand Elder. His status at that time was probably similar to Edward III's current one. In various guilds and channels, his pronouncements carried considerable weight. The pink text simply reflects the difference between the current Edward III and his predecessor Schopenhauer, and it's not merely a matter of "shyness" versus "competence." Since Loki forged the "Mold of the Creator," the landscape of this world seems to have changed to some extent. Countless heroes from humble backgrounds have gradually become more confident. They believe they too can, like Loki, obtain the equipment or status they desire through hard work. The prerequisite is "legal operation," not resorting to petty tricks like stealing equipment or gold—such despicable acts are absolutely unacceptable...)

"Understood, Master Schopenhauer. I accept your advice," Loki replied with a smile.

"Well, take your time studying. Look at Lei, how hard he works. He just advanced to the intermediate level and he's already working so hard. You elites can't let him down!" Schopenhauer said before leaving the classroom.

Loki turned to look at Lei (Level 53, Soul Mage). Loki could sense Lei's focus. He used to be just like Lei, incredibly dedicated when learning skills. But he didn't know when it started, Loki could strongly feel a change in his own "mindset." It was like... like...?

"I always had this feeling that you could live a good life without following the traditional path..." Loki murmured to himself, watching Elder Schopenhauer's departing figure. (Not a line from a dialogue)

The intermediate mage academy in this other world was spacious and bright. Every young mage, both inexperienced and slightly mature, diligently studied the elders' teachings. The elders imparted incantations, mantras, mental techniques, essentials, key points, and casting taboos, which the young apprentices learned with fervent devotion, each with an extremely serious and rigorous attitude! There was no distinction of race, profession, gender, or noble status... Like Edward III and Benjamin VI, who, as noble mages, could theoretically be arrogant or frivolous, they were not; they had completely integrated into the "divine power" environment of this other world... Young Loki, in theory, should also follow their advanced storyline, developing slowly, and later gaining experience through several "large-scale epic battles," his achievements should not be low. But Loki remained "hesitant and indecisive"...

In the intermediate classroom, Loki paced back and forth quietly. He wasn't invisible, nor did he need to. Unless he was practicing his "invisibility skill." (Note: There's actually no upper limit to "enhancing" the invisibility skill. Many people mistakenly believe that as long as they learn or unlock a certain special skill, they can do this or that? NO. Take Dark Knight's advanced invisibility skill in the level 2 map as an example. He must use it frequently and practice it often to change the "border color" of the invisibility skill in the skill bar. It will gradually become more "conspicuous," such as the "border" turning dark or a bright color... Advanced skill enhancement is primarily for saving mana, and secondly for the "interface." The interface change at intermediate and advanced levels is that the skill border becomes "metallic" or even "gold." This means that the skill's proficiency is quite high! The trigger speed also becomes "faster," the skill casting time becomes "less," "more mana-efficient," "immune to interruption," and the probability of being detected after becoming invisible decreases, etc.)

Loki not only saw "Lei," who was younger than him, but also many other "rising stars"... and other newly joined young professionals. Loki vaguely felt that they were like his younger self. Objectively speaking, "Lei" was comparable to Loki. But where was "Lei" now? He heard that after failing an exam to advance to a high-level mage, he chose to leave the other world (leave the guild) and "no longer care."
