Mystery: I, the Hermit, am too eager to improve

Chapter 44 Platform Builders Never Lose!

"So, what should we call each other? How about we use code names?"

Fors first raised a question.

As this was a secret gathering, we certainly couldn't use our real-life names, so the way we addressed each other became a big problem.

You can use tarot cards.

Klein thought to himself.

Roy switched to his alias and said, "Aurora uses letters, so why don't we use numbers? We'll use numbers as student IDs, and since we're the first three to attend the meeting, we'll be numbered 1 through 3."

"Student ID numbers? Sure, how should they be arranged?"

"Let the hermit decide."

Fors said.

Everyone looked at the hermit.

Roy switches to the larger size.

"You are number 1."

Fors stared wide-eyed, momentarily incredulous.

Am I number 1?

"Wait, wait, isn't this a bit inappropriate?!"

"Student ID number doesn't mean anything."

Roy smiled faintly, then looked at his alternate account, "Your number 2."

As he spoke, he controlled the numbers and information, causing his clone to salute.

The reason he covered everyone with numerology and information flow as a disguise was simply to reduce the loss of spiritual energy when creating clones to shape their faces.

"You are number 3. Furthermore, if you want to materialize knowledge, you only need to recall knowledge and books."

Klein nodded—

He guessed.

The serial number may be the order in which one arrives at the mysterious temple.

and so.

Is this woman the first extraordinary being to ascend to the Mystic Temple?

That's truly extraordinary!

Little did he know, Fors was in a complete panic at that moment.

She originally planned to gather enough materials to advance to Sequence 8 and pay off her debts, so that she could finally relax and take a break.

Now that she's student number 1, the sudden pressure almost made her refuse.

But how could Fors dare to refuse?

She frowned and sighed softly to herself.

After the numbers were assigned, everyone fell silent.

comminicate……

What are we talking about?

"A secret study group, hmm, how about we share some questions we don't understand, answer each other's questions, learn from each other, or share any secret information or knowledge we have. If you think knowledge is valuable, you can ask to exchange it."

Roy launched a trumpet-like suggestion.

Klein nodded secretly.

A good direction.

As can be seen from the Hermit's requirements, the most important thing in the Mysterious Hall is knowledge, so communication and learning are in line with the direction of the hall.

"Okay, then we'll divide it into two phases: 'knowledge learning' and 'information sharing'."

"Klein said."

Fors nodded slightly, feeling quite pleased.

She felt like she was involved in organizing an amazing secret party!

Although she didn't say anything.

As they were pondering this, suddenly a surge of information flowed through the hall, and soon a small square table and three chairs appeared.

For a fleeting moment, Klein thought he had actually arrived at the library.

Thank you for your help!

Please sit down.

After a moment's hesitation, Klein spoke first: "I'll share the pendulum divination technique; I hope it will be helpful to everyone."

He tried to recall the pendulum method and some key points of the pendulum method that he had summarized.

Before long, words of knowledge leaped from his mind, transforming into animated characters that finally landed on the blank paper that appeared out of thin air, turning into a thin book.

Then, it split into two and landed in front of the other two people.

Roy, controlling his alternate account, spoke: "I'd like to share a 'Defense-Style Fighting Technique'."

This is one of the books Becky left for him.

He also manifested, splitting into two books that landed in front of Klein and Fors.

Fors's mind was racing, pondering what knowledge he should share.

How can an apprentice traverse the walls?

They wouldn't know how either!

On the 300 excuses for delaying the completion of a manuscript?

Pooh!

This is not extraordinary knowledge.

You only realize how little you know when you need it; Fors is in a very awkward position now.

Seeing that both of them were looking at her, she blushed and said, "I... I'm a wild extraordinary being, I don't have much extraordinary knowledge to share, could I make up for it next time?"

"..."

Roy and Klein both fell silent.

The former was shocked by Miss Fors' honesty and laziness.

Despite being heavily indebted and facing numerous crises, she still did not actively pursue knowledge and power, remaining within her comfort zone.

Klein was shocked to discover that "Number 1" was a wild Extraordinary, and that it didn't sound as powerful as he had imagined; rather, it seemed like a relatively weak Extraordinary.

The hermit is truly...

Be open-minded and treat everyone equally.

He looked at "Number 2".

"The person chosen by the Hermit is definitely not an ordinary person. If you know any esoteric knowledge, that would be helpful too."

Roy said.

Fors hesitated for a moment before finally saying, "I don't have any esoteric knowledge. Although I had collected a few pages of Emperor Roselle's diary before, I traded them to the Hermit. And the diaries I've collected recently..."

She suddenly had an idea and stood up to look up.

"Master Hermit, I have only managed to collect one page of the diary during this time. Could I exchange it for matching esoteric knowledge?"

"Can."

Roy switched immediately.

He put away the diary and then glanced at it again.

The diaries I've read.

He glanced around and then waved.

One book flew out and transformed into three books, landing in front of the three people.

Basic Magic

This is knowledge that was completely indigestible extracted from Rado last time.

Basic Magic?

Fors suppressed the urge to look through it.

Klein marveled at the hermit's skill—

The hermit can obtain the knowledge they exchange and can also offer similar transactions.

Platform operators never lose money!

"Since everyone is exchanging, let's learn together."

Roy nodded with a smile.

He reached out and grabbed the books on pendulum magic and basic magic.

After a moment, a stream of knowledge emerged from the paper, transforming into a flow of information that entered his mind.

This is not an ordinary pendulum technique; it also includes Klein's own summaries and understandings, making it quite a bit of extraordinary knowledge for ordinary extraordinary individuals.

of course.

For Fors, the pendulum method is currently unusable.

The apprentice did not acquire the ability to divine.

Only after reaching the astrologer sequence can she possibly learn divination.

Klein also gained a lot, but was also deeply shocked. At first, he was worried that he wouldn't be able to remember them, but in the mysterious hall, the books didn't need to be memorized at all; they would automatically transform into knowledge and information and enter his mind.

too strong!

As expected of the Hermit!

He secretly admired them and also expressed his gratitude to "Number 1" and "Number 2".

"Thank you for your knowledge; it has been a great help to me."

"Your summary is also like that."

The three thanked each other, and Fors secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Thankfully, there was Mr. Hermit; otherwise, I, as "Number 1," would have lost all credibility at the first gathering.

of course.

She knew she had exposed her weakness, but what could she do?

I don't really have enough bargaining chips to exchange.

While digesting the knowledge, Klein pondered "Number 1".

Without a doubt, she has a secret, otherwise the Hermit would not have sought her out.

Maybe.

This secret will bring enormous benefits in the future.

Klein thought to himself.

After a moment of silence, Roy spoke first.

"Now, let's move on to the second phase. I'll share my observations first."

"When I passed through Tingen, I saw a conman and a thief, perhaps a Sequence 9 thief, making a deal for two books and an extraordinary property."

Roy pretended to be someone who had witnessed the event and didn't care.

Klein's heart skipped a beat.

"Mr. Number 2, do you remember where we are?"

"I can't remember the exact details, but I do remember it was under a bridge. Oh, that area should be the territory of the Steam Church, probably near Baker Street."
