The old man you see with your phone is highly suspicious.

The entire world collapsed, along with the parallel world and the garbage that was inside it.

Xue's Law: "..."

So this is the firewall of Blue Star's consciousness... He finally understood how Blue Star resisted invaders from other worlds or how it resolved anomalies before the emergence of its own planetary guardian.

Throw them all into a parallel world, then blow up the entire parallel world, reducing it to ashes.

Damn, no wonder he was also curious. There must have been quite a few people from other worlds who had accidentally come to Earth over the years, but why didn't they leave any trace? It turns out they were all destroyed to cover their tracks.

After secretly logging out of his account and clearing his browsing history, Xue Dinglu continued chatting with the old gentleman in front of him about the unofficial history and mystical knowledge of that world...

Strange knowledge increased.JPG

……

Xue's Law did not grant the old gentleman a shared vision, but instead placed much of the real magic in the academy's library.

The newly established magic academy lacks a solid foundation. Most of the magic Xue Dinglu knows is holy light magic that he developed himself, mainly focusing on holy light cutting. Most of the other auxiliary magic is general magic left behind by the Great Sage.

A small portion of it was left behind by Old Grimm. His fairy tale magic was unreliable, but it could still serve as a reference. Xue's Law improved upon the fairy tale "bread magic" to create a brand new bread magic that could be used in any world.

This is also why he lifted old Watson's magic ban, because he was also racking his brains to re-examine how to release fairy tale magic. As the only person in the world who could exchange magical experiences with him, that court magician was barely passable and could give Xue some magical inspiration.

In addition, there were some tree spirits that manifested from their imaginations to guard the gates in the academy. These novel spells and the magical academy made the old gentleman extremely happy. He held the "Illumination Spell" in Xue's hands as if he had found a priceless treasure.

Speaking of illumination spells, Xue Lude recalled the days when he soloed the Death Knight 911 times in the consciousness space. It seems like a long time has passed in the blink of an eye, and he has now reached the 3rd level with 38% progress.

Since reaching the Legendary level, his progress has slowed down considerably. However, the Legendary level is now just Xue Dalu's paper strength. Anyone who treats him as a normal Legendary will be taught a lesson they won't even recognize.

After all, almost all of his combat power comes from buffs and Noble Phantasms; magic is only something he uses in emergencies.

At the very least, I can guarantee a mechanic-based win rate above level 5, and at least a one-for-one trade below level 5.

After getting a general idea of ​​the old man's situation upon waking up, Xue Dinglu stopped paying attention to him. After all, there didn't seem to be any apocalyptic crisis in that world; at most, there were just a lot of unofficial histories and outlandish records.

Moreover, it's already 2026 there, two years ahead of its own history. Xue's Law even knows the outcome of the US presidential election a few months later.

He didn't ask much about the future history.

The lockdown will last for another 26 days, and I guess I'll just have to stay on Earth and attend classes for the next four weeks.

After attending two fire safety classes in the morning, Xue Dinglu had no classes for the rest of the day.

The university's course schedule is very flexible. He could even see that there were no classes from Tuesday until the end of the semester, which meant that his class's schedule was equivalent to having three days off a week.

This, in turn, left Xue Dinglu with nothing to do and some free time.

As he left the campus, he still saw the bustling activity at the female knight sisters' food stall across the street.

Why don't we go check out the situation in the Silver Kingdom? What have they done to that mountain lately?

He is now considered a shareholder of the Silver Kingdom, receiving a 30% dividend share, which is equivalent to a shareholder starting to inspect the industry.

Xuejiaqiao, where Xue Dinglu's family lives, is more than eight kilometers away from the University of Science and Technology of China, which is in the suburbs. The mountain that Baiyin State-owned Enterprise contracted is even 5 kilometers away from Xue Dinglu's family.

That area is already considered rural, surrounded mainly by reservoirs, forests, parks, and farms. Although it's in the suburbs, it's only about ten kilometers from the city center, and many wealthy people still visit the farms there.

Therefore, the people of Baiyin Kingdom did take into account the local characteristics and environment when they wanted to build guesthouses.

Although it's called a mountain, its altitude is only about 100 meters higher than Jiangcheng. This area used to be full of tea plantations, but tea was no longer grown here because tea sales in Jiangcheng's rural areas were poor. In the end, the profits were even less than if this land had been leased out, so it gradually became abandoned.

There are many abandoned hills like this. Jiangcheng used to have a plan to become a "city of flowers," and then they promoted the planting of roses on a large scale. In the end, roses cost only 1 cents each, and even dogs wouldn't bother to throw them on the ground, so the plan was abandoned.

Princess Silver probably took a liking to this abandoned mountain because it was cheap, and its abandonment would make it easier for them to renovate it.

"Teacher, is your latest egg-hatching magic finished yet? We've almost eaten all the eggs." Before even reaching the mountain, Xue Luding heard the Silver Princess's boisterous voice.

"Not yet, not yet... Let me study it..." Old Watson's voice came through, but Xue Law felt like his buddy was about to die.

"Why haven't the vegetables I planted in the backyard yesterday grown yet? Did the magic go wrong, or is there some other problem?" Princess Silver's voice came again.

"Let me see what's going on..."

"And bread? Have we been collecting less and less wood and grass to make bread lately?"

"I'll take care of it right away!" The disheveled knight commander immediately ran into the back mountain like lightning.

The whole hilltop was bustling with activity, and there were many construction teams building cement roads at the foot of the mountain. After all, the first step in building a farm is to build roads and parking lots, and then the construction of residential buildings can begin.

However, their main expenses are on road construction and parking lots. As for the houses, they plan to use purely ecological tree peas as the core, install doors on the tree peas, and then decorate the inside of the tree holes to make houses.

As for their appearance, they even need to deliberately apply some paint to disguise them as fake.

When Xue arrived, he saw that the little princess who was originally wearing a pure white dress, and even her gloves and socks were white silk, was now wearing a tattered coat and holding a pitchfork taller than herself, tidying up the weeds and dead branches on the ground.

They sorted the weeds and dead branches separately, and then used a hose to wash the weeds, dead branches, leaves, etc. on the ground.

At the foot of the mountain, there were sounds from the construction site, and their water pumps were also quite noisy, creating a bustling scene.

Upon seeing Xue Luding arrive, the little princess looked up, her hair still covered in burrs, and excitedly dropped the hose and pitchfork she was holding, exclaiming, "My Lord, you've arrived!"

Xue's Law: "..."

He really wanted to complain about the way she addressed him, but he didn't know how to correct it. He just hoped she wouldn't say it directly in front of others.

"What are you doing..." Xue Luding looked at the pile of weeds and branches in the distance, which he had deliberately washed with water, and wondered what he was planning to do.

"Oh, those are the raw materials for making bread. Recently, a little knight contacted a local bread retailer, and most of our bread will be delivered to them in bulk for sale to supplement our cash flow. If we don't find a way to make money soon, our cash flow will dry up." She immediately exclaimed, her face as dirty as a kitten's.

Xue Luding was taken aback, looking strangely at the leaves and weeds on the ground. So this is how the pancakes and bread he ate were produced? No wonder he smelled a fresh, natural fragrance. You really do take from nature?

However, Xue Lude didn't dwell on it too much. He was the one who improved the bread-making technique, and it was possible to use weeds and leaves as raw materials. They even washed these things. When Xue Lude first learned the bread-making technique, he could simply pick up a stick and turn it into a baguette, and then eat it directly.

They washed it again, and to be honest, it was already clean and hygienic.

"Have you thought of other ways to make money in an emergency?" Xue Luding looked at them, who made money by growing vegetables and selling bread, and thought they were simply adorably simple.

After gaining enlightenment on the farm, even this little princess, who seemed to never lift a finger, was able to pick up a pitchfork and start cleaning weeds and branches bit by bit.

“The laws of the suzerain state are very strict, and there’s nothing we can do about it.” The little princess sighed, put her hands on her hips and looked at the weeds floating in the pond. “At first, we wanted to look for gold or silver underground, since panning for precious metals is like instinct for us.”

"Sigh, but the law doesn't allow it." She shrugged, seemingly having found a place to vent her frustrations to Xue Dinglu.

"Later, we thought about going to sea to become the Pirate King and find treasures like shipwrecks on the seabed. After all, it would be an incredibly easy job for us who can communicate with fish."

"But then we found out that treasure hunting is also illegal..."

Chapter 174 Don't come any closer!

"In short, we looked at all the methods in the code, but found that they were either illegal or difficult for us to implement. In the end, we decided to use local materials. Originally, we were going to clear the entire back mountain, but now we are just turning the cleared weeds into bread."

The little princess shared their thought process of trying to find ways to make money these past few days.

Xue's Law is speechless. You guys actually learned how to make money by looking for methods in the code. Although you didn't find any, is the enlightenment effect in Longchang really that good?

As expected of someone from the "Silver Kingdom," Xue Lude felt that the fact that this little girl could use a pitchfork to work like an ordinary person was already a huge improvement.

It seems that finding a way to make money has been quite difficult for her lately. Xue Daolu felt that the little girl was even a bit feverish and wanted to quit.

But it seems that when he thought of the "fake" version of himself in Shirogane Middle School building his home, and in order to prove that he was better than that fake version, he had to work hard, so he started to fight desperately.

If she weren't too old to work, Xue Dinglu would have suspected that she might have gone to Jiangcheng to work five jobs at once, and then give a speech at a beer hall after finishing her work.

"Is the cash flow really that tight? I can lend you some money." Xue Luding looked at the chaotic scene on the back mountain. The Knight Commander said that if one person does the work of ten, then he is really working like a beast of burden.

Old Watson, on the other hand, developed dark circles under his eyes after only a few days. His desk was covered with discarded A4 papers and magical inscriptions, a testament to his attempts to improve his previous magic, but clearly, much of it was futile.

He can only use the bread-making technique modified by Xue's Law, and the remaining two spells: one to accelerate plant growth, which can make a cabbage grow dozens of times overnight, and the other is a spell for communication and soothing.

That was all; all his remaining magical deductions ended in failure.

Looking at the manuscript on the ground, Xue Lude picked it up and looked at it. Old Watson seemed to be using exhaustive deduction to figure out how the original magic should be modified to be effective.

To make things difficult for this otherworldly mage, Xue's Law has only managed to improve one bread spell so far; all other fairy tale magic spells have ended in failure.

However, with the ability to materialize illusions, most basic magic is no longer needed.

However, he would still collect spells like "communication and soothing," partly to gather strange and unusual spells in case they came in handy, and partly as a way to fill out his library.

Seeing Xue Luding frowning as he looked at the manuscript on the ground, the little princess, who had been hesitant to speak, finally spoke.

She is indeed short of money. Road repairs, parking lot construction, and renovation materials... there are countless places that require money, and she currently has less than a million yuan in funds.

Although the other young knights had scattered throughout Jiangcheng to earn money, they could only supplement their household income. Bringing back tens of thousands of yuan a day was already a great harvest. Therefore, for her, the only way to keep the cash flow running was through other means...

loan?

After seeing the loan terms, she immediately felt they were like vampires. She would rather stay here and sell bread than take out a loan. After calculating, she realized she was losing money hand over fist.

The thought of her small sum of money being taken by loan sharks made her heart ache as if fingers were piercing her temples. She would rather use the extra money as tribute to the suzerain state and as a share of the "god's" earnings.

After all, these acts of filial piety will eventually be rewarded.

After thinking for a long time, she finally said, "How about 200 million? And then add two percentage points to your dividends?"

She held up a 2, then thought it might be too much. Two million would allow her to revitalize her money and start engaging in even bolder money-making activities.

These days, all she cares about is money.

"Two million..." Xue Dinglu frowned.

He did have the money; the second batch of revenue from the broadcasts on the TT website came in, amounting to about three million yuan, but this was pretty much the final revenue.

There probably won't be much more to come, and fairy tales are obviously not suitable for making into videos; that world is too cheesy, and even if you censor the whole thing, it won't pass the review.

Removing the scenes of hell would make the story incomplete and nonsensical, so Xue Law abandoned the project after cutting it halfway through. In the end, the footage was only used to tell the Silver Nation people about the video.

As for materializing illusions... it's much simpler to just turn them into gold directly...

So, the video project has been put on hold for now. The original purpose of uploading the video was to promote the Greek inmates. Now, the Greek inmates are making waves online on their own. It's possible that the old lady who gets a five-kill streak late at night is one of their alternate accounts. So, he doesn't care much about the video's operation.

"Is two million a lot...? One million...one million is enough..."

She immediately said that Xue Lude could sense that she was really short of money.

“No need. I think these manuscripts are quite good. Are these for sale?” Xue Dinglu pointed to the manuscripts on the ground and asked.

These experimental data, recorded one by one using exhaustive methods, are very abstract, but they still have some value for the enlightenment and research of magic. Xue's Law believes that they could even be bound into a book and placed in a library.

"Sigh, is that all?" The little princess saw the discarded manuscripts on the ground and old Watson, who had fallen asleep at some point.

She felt that it was a huge profit for her side to be able to exchange these discarded magic improvement data for millions, since the data was useless to them, but exchanging it for money could solve their immediate crisis.

She even felt a pang of conscience about making this money. Should she invest her own money again to get another two million?

"That's all. The value of knowledge can't be measured in money. Although this knowledge isn't very useful to me, it might be priceless to some people." After saying this, Xue Dinglu collected all the manuscripts.
