Chapter 977: The Invincible Buff is Truly Full
“Huh? Are you crazy? You want something like this?”
The ordinary person approached, naturally attracted by what was said, but faced with the traces left by the monster’s attacks, instinctively chose to ignore them.
After all, most of these means were magical effects; once the magical effects ended, the form of attack would naturally dissipate, leaving behind only some natural phenomena.
For example, the scorch marks left by flames or the freezing water vapor left by ice.
“It’s not true; this is not a residue of magical effects, but rather a substance shaped by magical effects!” The one picking up these ice crystals was a student from the Wizard Academy.
People from the Wizard Academy were curious about many things, as the so-called knowledge was genuinely charged for in a wizard’s perception. Thus, the habit of discovery had been practically turned into a passive skill for every wizard.
Originally, he picked up this object to analyze whether the means could be utilized and integrated into his own wizardry based on the form of attack.
As the wizard manifested flames from his bare hands, the ice crystals had not shown any structural instability at the magical element level; they were ultimately captured as shattered ice crystals.
“This is a material! The attack from that Ancient Ice Remains is not a magical effect, but a substance shaped by special magical techniques, grafted with magical effects to form magical lethality.”
“And then? Such means are quite common, right? It’s just material shaping. Who at our level hasn’t encountered such methods?” An elf from Afumi Academy walked over to ask.
Elves certainly had their form of magic; nature-based plant magic also had magically created plants as well as real plants that could emit energy. This combination of plant affinity and plant manipulation formed effective combat power.
“No… didn’t you notice? This is an energy guiding material with very good effects.” The wizard apprentice spoke up.
Initially, he wondered if he could claim this for himself or seize the initiative to develop and utilize such materials.
However, after a simple test, he found that the material did not warrant expending that much energy.
Its value was comparable to that of ordinary high-end materials—somewhat pricey but still accessible through several channels.
In fact, the main issue was the unstable source; it was not as straightforward as simply making it public. Even if he could earn some side income, he couldn’t monopolize it.
As he spoke these words, others began to pay attention.
Originally, they were informed that this was a secret realm with virtually no production of extraordinary materials, but the vast internal space was enough to breed special ice attribute creatures on a large scale, regularly harvesting materials, thus ensuring a stable source of materials.
If now, the Ancient Ice Remains therein could already produce materials, then its value would be different!
You have to know that this is during combat when spells are cast in the heat of battle! This indicates that the production quantity of such materials is extremely large.
As long as this Ancient Ice Remains is made to serve an extraordinary mentor, it becomes a perfect material-producing machine.
And the so-called consumption only requires knowing what the Ancient Ice Remains feeds on and regularly providing it.
The idea was not only conceived by the wizards but also occurred to others.
Although they couldn’t defeat the monster directly until now, they felt they had the right to plan the distribution of such benefits in advance!
“Everyone! This secret realm is our nominal common property; do you not conceal your greedy eyes?” The Holy Angel’s representative was the first to speak, breaking the silence among those who were afraid of uneven distribution because of benefits.
However, as soon as the Holy Angel finished speaking, everyone looked toward her.
The virtue of the Holy Angel was known to other extraordinary academies; her words, although beautifully spoken, also hinted at her desire for a slice of the pie.
After this atmosphere lingered for a while, one of the wizard apprentices raised their hand to shake their communication device.
“This matter should be reported first; you don’t think such things can be decided by us…”
Can these few people privately decide this? They are all workers; how much of the secret benefits do you think we can actually get?
This statement struck a chord with everyone present.
Initially greedy thoughts were suppressed; it’s better to report this first. Who knows, they might receive decent rewards, and while they’re not here yet, they can collect some materials.
Earn some side income, or save it for personal use, that wouldn’t be shameful.
…
Several days passed.
The Witch Academy’s club quickly received news from the wilderness of Gurosis.
Although they had let go of this secret realm, it didn’t mean they didn’t care what happened to it.
When they learned that those people in the secret realm had mined a brand-new high-value material, everyone understood.
High-value material? How come they didn’t know there was something like this in the secret realm?
During their exploration, they went through a lot of effort and didn’t find any useful materials.
Even if they found something, it was merely low-cost materials naturally formed from great magical effects.
There were plenty of inexpensive substitutes in the market.
How come once they let go, these guys discovered it in just a few days?
Did they find it from the start and hid it? Now that they let go, are they developing it rampantly?
To alleviate this sense of inequality, the club sent several members to probe the situation, but each time they were mockingly sent back by those people.
Those people had already taken the secret as their own.
So the secret hadn’t been moved yet because they hadn’t planned how to distribute the secrets and deeper benefits.
This was infuriating!
Disputes erupted within the club. After all, the decision to give up the secret wasn’t agreed upon by everyone. It was just that at that moment, they impulsively let go due to that little witch’s reputation.
Now, with benefits at stake, some people naturally began to blame others for their inability.
Sending people to confront them resulted in beatings; more people sent only led to mockery by those guys.
Watching those people earn money while they suffered losses was even more discomforting.
In this dilemma, some quickly found the source of the conflict: the little witch who decided to abandon the secret.
After all, the choice to give up the secret was also influenced by her.
They had to admit that this little witch was now someone who could ignore the existence of such a large entity as the club.
Moreover, she was still a little witch, not just an extraordinary witch, and could influence academy decisions and intervene freely in the campus structure, making it impossible for students to challenge such a perversion.
How could they not feel uncomfortable?
So, investigating the little witch’s attitude became crucial.
If possible, having her take action would be even better.
Let the other academies witness the grievances they felt in the Witch Academy’s club!
Students couldn’t generally defeat her, and if a mentor intervened, it would seem like bullying; perhaps even more extraordinary witches would rally to retaliate against them, especially since she had an extraordinary witch girlfriend! It was rumored that the extraordinary mentors of the Dragon Blood Academy were all cut down by her girlfriend…
Truly, the invincible buff was full.
No one could take action against her.
Of course, this was just from the students’ perspective.
If it were an extraordinary witch, they would see more.
Countless witches working for her, the laboratory had even expanded into the Exploring Realm.
A little witch had taken the lead into the Dream State Soul Material field, with too many witches appearing mysteriously for peace, multiple clones, while her main body stayed in experiment zones that they had no access to.
Even several academy heads had very close relationships with her…
From the perspective of academy heads…
Controlling an eerie, almost unresistable dream realm, she could lose dozens of extraordinaires with a mere flick of her hand.
Even a certain betraying witch stood by her side to protect her.
It could be said that different viewpoints revealed different vistas.
Unfortunately, those unwilling to leave the family perspective ultimately had no qualifications to witness such elegance.
At this moment, they were discussing who should contact this witch.
Meanwhile, on the edge of the Instance Realm’s Midlake Island.
A wooden cabin was built on the lakeshore, looking as if it had a special natural charm beneath what seemed like an inexpensive aesthetic, resembling a quaint lodge.
I tidied up slightly messy items into space, while Sister Bai was arranging the indoor decorations.
A row of handcrafted plants lined the edges of the house, all planted by me and Sister Bai together.
“Huh? Ah—Sister Bai, you even brought this over?” I looked at the grill that should have stayed in the original cabin, somewhat surprised.
“Uh-huh, I had so much fun barbecueing with you last time, so since we’re by the lake now, I brought it along. If you like fishing, how about grilling fish tonight?”
“Fishing…” I glanced back at the lake and indeed felt somewhat interested.
I seemed to have never fished much, but I had seen many others doing it; it seemed somewhat intriguing.
“Alright～” I replied happily, but I heard fishing requires quite a lot of equipment… I’m not really familiar with these things.
“Sister Bai, are you really worrying about this? With your character, you shouldn’t be unable to catch fish even with a stick and fishing line?” Sister Bai paused at my words and responded with a laugh.
“That does seem like it could work～”
With Sister Bai saying this, I felt that fishing wouldn’t be that difficult after all.
“By the way, Sister Bai, I want to talk about something.”
“What is it? Are you planning to take action?” Sister Bai asked.
“Well, regarding the thing we spoke about the other day, it’s about time to reel it in.”
“Do you want me to accompany you?”
“Of course～ In the Main World, there aren’t any extraordinary non-interference contracts, just some unspoken rules. You, Sister Bai, are my most important other half, so it’s only reasonable that you come along, right?”
That makes sense!
Hmm, before we go, I should meet some people; the club members might be suffering these days, right?
…
Back at the Baking House.
With the quiet expansion of the Baking House club, the bakery here had also enlarged. Originally, it was merely the space designated for a small club, but everything had changed now.
The storefront naturally needed some decoration.
Moreover, now that it’s the holiday, with fewer guests around, it’s a good time to work on it.
Those who chose to stay in the academy during the holiday might find there suddenly appeared several more baking houses.
And inside, many of the baked goods were ones never seen before; out of curiosity, some might daringly try them.
How to put it?
Senior Tang Yihan’s creativity at the Baking House had finally emerged from the long-awaited bakery… wreaking more havoc on people.
One such connection was with Xing Anlei, the Vice President of the All-purpose Workshop.
Few people in the All-purpose Workshop were familiar to me, even Xing Anlei was someone I met during the offline auction event.
And the Witch Secret Realm Association was similar; the Witch Secret Realm Association was a club in the academy even more stable than the All-purpose Workshop, so I had little contact with them.
To say I knew someone… probably only Renata, an elder of the club.
It was quite some time ago; she treated me to a meal, the experience wasn’t particularly pleasant, but there weren’t really any conflicts, almost forgotten by now, so how could there be any lingering grudges?
At this moment, Xing Anlei had brought another young girl to meet me at the Baking House.
And the person she brought was someone I recognized as well, Jiao Xiaoshuang, my attendant from the auction; the All-purpose Workshop was certainly making use of everyone I knew.
As Tang Ming said: In the Witch Academy, even those merely remembered by Xiao Han can be considered connected.
“This time, our All-purpose Workshop is once again boldly bothering Teaching Assistant Xiao Han. Please accept our humble gifts.” Xing Anlei’s attitude was very sincere.
She was on good terms with Ming Xueming, the former president, and had naturally learned about this dear assistant’s situation from her.
“Thanks～”
I accepted the card handed over by her without examining what it was and directly stored it in my own Storage Equipment. In terms of social grace, the All-purpose Workshop was quite skilled.
The handshake was pretty good.
“Let’s go inside and chat; there’s no need for formality with me.”
I said.
Regarding accepting her gift, it was to signal in advance; she wanted to ask something, and I would provide her with a satisfactory response.
Initially, the Baking House didn’t really need a reception room, but after expanding, it now had one.
Though the overall Baking House club might not always be here, this place, being where it all started, still had significant memorial value.
Thus, it naturally had a place like a reception room.
There weren’t many people in the reception room; besides the newly arrived Xing Anlei and Jiao Xiaoshuang, it was just me and Sister Bai, who was originally inside.
I happened to be free and had come in person.
As for the Manager, 应诗情, and Senior Tang Yihan, they didn’t come in.
