In another world, Lu Mingfei is learning card making.

"cough--"

Lu Mingfei jolted awake and rolled off the chair in the internet cafe onto the floor.

The air was thick with the pungent smell of cheap cigarettes, instant noodles, and foot odor, just like where he had been a week ago—but now, looking back, the memories he thought he would never forget were somewhat faded.

Looking at the hooded jacket on the computer screen, Lu Mingfei couldn't help but smile.

Just a week ago, he had only met this guy named Alex Mercer, but now, looking at him again, Lu Mingfei felt a sense of 'reunion with a good friend' welling up inside him.

Perhaps it's because he can one day be like this virtual character, roaming between skyscrapers, slicing through tanks with a knife, and tearing apart helicopters with his bare hands?

"That's a bit too brutal..." Lu Mingfei shook his head. Now, whenever violence is mentioned, he thinks of the special training Rong En gave him before he "left," and he can't help but shudder.

When they said they were 'memorizing with their bodies,' they really meant it. The two of them clashed with their 'wands' without hesitation, the ends of the wands relentlessly stabbing his chest and abdomen. Even when Ron held back, a couple of blows would leave his stomach bruised and purple.

Even with all his might, he couldn't hit Rong En with the stick.

If he hadn't asked Jessica to summon a healing-type magical spirit beforehand, and if Lu Mingfei hadn't also had the healing artifact [Philosopher's Stone], he probably would have been paralyzed and returned to his original world.

The Philosopher's Stone (Miniature)

[Type: Item/Consumable/Rare]

[Quality: Excellent (Blue)]

【describe:

The Philosopher's Stone extracted from the simulated life using the Life Transmutation Array possesses negligible life force.

[PS: I prefer to call it "The Philosopher's Stone (Beneficial Edition)" - Alpha Osin, Master Alchemist and Chief Instructor of the Multiverse Alchemy Society]

Despite its derogatory descriptions and Photoshop edits, it's being compared to the genuine Philosopher's Stone.

Compared to that kind of thing, everything in the world is not even dregs.

Even the miniature Philosopher's Stone, so flawed it can only be called a "beggar's version," is the world's highest-grade healing elixir.

With high-level healing medicine and logistical support, Lu Mingfei decisively used his "spark" of the day to learn weapon usage, successfully mastering two-thirds of Rong En's essence before leaving.

This refers to the fact that, apart from "long-range" and "ground combat," he was able to fight Ron to a standstill with him at four different distances.

Even the online platform acknowledged Lu Mingfei's knowledge:

……

General Skills:

1. Wand Combat Technique (LV0, 66/100%)

The method of using a short stick of 30-100 centimeters for combat utilizes the lever formed between the stick and the human body to achieve maximum effect with minimal effort, breaking the absolute dependence of traditional cold weapons on physical strength, and thus enabling the weak to defeat the strong.

……

Job skills are skills that can only be learned and used by [Horsebound Mage], while general skills are broader and can be learned by any class. Once learned, they can be used. This is not difficult to understand.

Therefore, Lu Mingfei was quite pleased with himself at this moment, thinking that no one in the world would dare to stop him.

And since no one dared to stop him, what was his next move?

Lu Mingfei smirked and walked resolutely toward his uncle and aunt's house.

—Of course, I need to find a place to sleep!

His spark tank is still empty, and if he didn't have this one spark as a "life-saving trump card," he would be very scared.

After leaving the internet cafe, Lu Mingfei looked around. There were no security cameras, and no one was wandering around in the dark alley. He then placed his college admission card in his palm.

"In the name of Lu Mingfei, I summon!"

The moment the red-robed acolyte was summoned, wielding four mechanical prosthetic limbs, Lu Mingfei embraced her tightly. Even through the red robes, the stiff, mechanical texture of her body was clearly transmitted to Lu Mingfei's palms—but he had no time to care about that.

He was now filled with excitement because the magic cards could be successfully brought to this world—meaning that on Earth, he could also reproduce the power of those summoning masters from another world!

It's important to know that Magical Spirits are just one category of "Magic Cards"—

Magic cards are divided into five basic categories: Spirit Cards, Spell Cards, Item Cards, Field Cards, and Ritual Cards. In addition to these five basic categories, they can also be classified as colorless, white, blue, black, red, and green based on their magical power. Based on their manufacturing method, they can also be classified as ordinary cards, divine cards, and mystery cards!

Lu Mingfei spent a week studying diligently, and even borrowed money (although Rong En's sister helped him out, and he still had his credits) to make the card, which was actually just an ordinary colorless elf card!

Well, at least for now it's still a regular colorless sprite card.

Thinking of this, Lu Mingfei glanced at the Mirror of Eternity.

The spirit of the pot only made up her mind to step into the 'Mirror of Eternity' around 11 p.m. last night. Perhaps it was a case of like repels like, but to her, this constantly rotating thing, which resembled a transmutation circle, seemed extremely terrifying.

Lu Mingfei comforted her for a while and promised to "only let her enter this once" before she shakily stepped into the Mirror of Eternity.

Because she agreed too late, the 'log' of the Mirror of Eternity has not yet been generated.

Lu Mingfei didn't just sit there waiting for the log to be generated. He summoned his "personal butler" simply because he thought that as a mechanical being, she might have the same keen interest in the "network" of modern society.

Therefore, after handing over all the cash he had to the red-robed monk and teaching her how to borrow an ID card from the owner of the illegal internet cafe to turn on the computer, Lu Mingfei left.

When he left, Lu Mingfei took with him a "metal prosthetic limb" from the red-robed acolyte. It was a weapon she made while watching Lu Mingfei and Rong En fight. It could be long or short, thick or thin. Except for not being able to fit it in his ear, it was exactly the same as the Monkey King's golden cudgel.

Lu Mingfei simply had the red-robed monk carve three characters on the staff: "Divine Precious Iron".

There's no way around it, who wouldn't want to possess a magical iron staff, the Ruyi Jingu Bang? Writing the last three words was a bit too arrogant, so Lu Mingfei thought and thought again and decided that it was better to write the first three words.

So, finally, Lu Mingfei, leaning on his 85-centimeter-long cane, trotted back to his uncle and aunt's house.

— Naturally, their family wouldn't leave a key for an outsider like Lu Mingfei, but Lu Mingfei didn't want to freeze outside. What should he do?

Lu Mingfei scanned the doorway, located the hinge, gripped the handle specially designed for him by the Divine Iron, and pressed his weight onto it.

--boom!
