In another world, Lu Mingfei is learning card making.

Chapter 161 If you don't bomb, and I don't bomb, when will the fish fry grow up?

【Chosen One: Select a unit with the 【Justice】 or 【Holy】 attribute, promote it to the Chosen One, granting it attack/defense/mana bonuses and additional spell damage bonuses】

A radiant glow appeared around Lilith, spreading out in concentric golden rings. Above her head, a golden crown slowly materialized, providing her with a significant boost.

—Then, after she transforms, this bonus increases!

"Longevity is in his right hand, and wealth in his left. His ways are joy, and his paths are all peace. He is a tree of life for those who hold fast to him, and those who hold fast to him are blessed."

Fine short hair and thick long hair appeared on her body, and her body grew larger, showing a more powerful posture.

Immediately afterwards, she leaped up, her body soaring into the air, her blade flashing with light, and slashed heavily at the bone dragon flying in the sky.

"Supreme! Saint! Slash!"

The golden blade of light severed the head of the bone dragon, and its body disintegrated as a result. Although it was called a "bone dragon," it was certainly not actually made of dragon bones. A dragon formed in that way would be at least at the sixth level of energy.

Its body was actually pieced together from all sorts of random bones, forming a whole with the magic of the Frost Bone Dragon. Its current disintegration undoubtedly meant that the enemy's most powerful unit had been eliminated. Lu Mingfei looked up and saw that the number above his head had changed from 1 to 2.

The senior student didn't seem inclined to chat much. After the number above his head changed from 6 to 5, he hurriedly left, unwilling to linger. Lu Mingfei also put all the cards back into his card pack and continued wandering around with only one number above his head, waiting for any stubborn senior student to challenge him.

The answer is, of course, no, especially after Lu Mingfei mobilized his troops to kill the Bone Dragon, demonstrating his dominance at the intermediate level.

Even though the Bone Dragon isn't a true dragon-type magical spirit, its strength isn't much different from a typical dragon lich. This means that unless a level six magical spirit is summoned, Lu Mingfei is invincible.

And the level six magical spirit—

It's one thing to fight on the field, but it's quite another to fight in the street.

On the field, you can concentrate on building up a big one, even reaching level four or even level six in one step, because you use a magic device to represent a "summoner". No matter how the magic spirits fight, they can't be affected. That's why there's room for styles like "blood-selling" and "undying".

But in street duels—

When someone is hit, it hurts. When someone is in pain, their actions and spirit become distorted. This isn't something that can be overcome simply through willpower—after all, those present were students, and you can't expect them to have particularly strong willpower.

Therefore, Lu Mingfei walked back and forth for a whole day but couldn't find any other fighting opportunities.

"—Seriously? If you give up at the slightest bit of intensity, how can you improve?"

"Lu likes to use alt accounts to smurf and often borrows accounts in groups to achieve his dream of becoming a Grandmaster," Mingfei said with a sense of disappointment.

But since no one wanted to fight Lu Mingfei, they couldn't force him to fight, so he could only wander around for a day and then go back to his dorm to rest.

It wasn't really a break, really. In the two months that followed, Lu Mingfei had developed a reading habit. He read books from all over the world, but mostly biographies.

To a large extent, he didn't actually intend to learn the protagonist's moral qualities from it; he simply read it as a novel.

After all, this world really does have extraordinary powers, and it really does seem just like in the novel.

It's even more impressive than the records of his own magical elves fighting in another world on various online platforms.

"Hmm? You're finally back?"

Lu Mingfei immediately sat up in bed, and with a pull, Louisiana appeared before him. Unlike before, she was now dressed in linen clothes. "No, not just linen—why are they so rough?"

The hemp threads twisted together, then tangled together with rough warp and weft threads to form fabric. Curious, Lu Mingfei reached out and pulled at it; the seemingly rough material surprisingly displayed remarkable strength.

"What world did you go to this time? Why did it take so long?"

Louisa pulled a pouch—or rather, a plastic bag—from her bosom and placed it in Lu Mingfei's hand: "I've gone to a very special world—"

This world was originally a very peaceful and ordinary world, just like Earth. But this description always feels a bit problematic, since this place also seems to be Earth. But one day, rays from outer space struck the entire Earth, bringing disaster, or more accurately, sealing everyone in the world inside a stone.

Louisa was able to escape the catastrophe because she arrived after the rays had ended. However, to be more precise, she did not arrive in this world immediately after the rays arrived, but rather two thousand years after they ended.

The reason it's described as "sealed" rather than "killed" is because the ray didn't kill anyone: it merely sealed humanity within stone. Louisa used her knowledge and painstaking efforts to piece together the key to break the seal, thus preventing the extinction of human civilization due to the ray's confinement.

But two thousand years of change had been enough for all traces of modern civilization to vanish, so Louise did not immediately leave. Instead, she began teaching these modern people how to reconnect with nature, how to select seeds, how to domesticate animals, how to carve stone knives, and how to carve wooden tools.

Only after confirming that they could survive on the reclaimed savage land did Louisiana choose to end things and return to Lu Mingfei's side.

"In fact, I'm not sure if this is right or wrong," Louisa sighed. "I know some druids would be happy about this, would be pleased to see the cities that were built return to the natural cycle."

"But I understand very well that with wisdom comes the natural pursuit of civilization; it's the natural order of life. But modern people can no longer retrace the steps of the industrial age. I can only teach them how to survive in nature—"

"In order to reduce conflicts caused by resources, I only woke up the children, instead of waking up the adults as well."

"But children will always grow up, and there will always be differences among them, and they will go through the steps from slavery to modern civilization again—perhaps in the future, their descendants will awaken those stone statues to seek wisdom, but that will be a thing of the future."

"I have done everything I could."
