Chapter 636: Return to Ninglan New City
Last night was a wonderful night, and it also filled the void left by all the nights I waited in vain.
The Fireball Spell Big Sis Bai gave , that expectation belonging solely to her first ti, filled my body in the way that pleased her most, making feel as hot as a fireball inside, full of passion and energy.
I also felt Big Sis Bai's persistent efforts from her constant attempts over the days.
She poured every bit of her heart into this Spellbook, and the pent-up restraint was released in an instant upon success.
This Spellbook was like the final fuse linking Big Sis Bai and , blending us together in the most intense way.
...
In the afternoon.
The things I needed to do at the Witch Academy were mostly completed, or rather, over-completed, in my view.
I perfected the Soul Mimicry attempt and even created the Reincarnation Spell to shape new bodies for Fool's Dream.
However, I haven't attempted this on all the Fool's Dream girls yet.
Currently, I have only tried the Dual-Tree Structure of the Great Tree of Knowledge and the Great Wisdom Enlightennt Spell on all of them, and promoted the Enlightennt ditation thod to the Fool's Dream group.
Before completely helping Fool's Dream achieve life tamorphosis, it was naturally best to refrain from overly stressing the other Fool's Dream girls.
Fool's Blue, Fool's Luck, and Fool's Fruit were willing to be "pioneers" for the Fool's Dream collective.
This was their own choice, and it also ant they would face more complications, and even danger.
Then there was the issue of the Seed of Knowledge's condensation and promotion.
How should I describe the current progress?
It was simply a perfect process!
As long as everything proceeded systematically, no accidents were likely to occur.
Apart from the parts where my involvent was essential, the Witch Sisters could handle the other concerns, and they would do it more perfectly than I could.
So my matters at the Witch Academy were successfully concluded, and the remaining focus shifted to the Expansion Realm.
In the Expansion Realm, my primary goal was to plant trees, continuously plant trees, and guide those people to rebuild civilization.
Perhaps the people of this world didn't need guidance, but I just wanted to speed up the process.
And during the process of guiding them, I also needed to spend ti continuously accumulating and learning.
After all, there was the newly acquired Runology knowledge, and even that special Totemology.
These were all things I needed to master.
Furthermore, planting trees didn't require much technical skill, or rather, once the Myriad Connection Main Network Tree system was established, many troubles could be bypassed.
And the spare ti during this period was my learning ti.
Or rather, this was my period of self-improvent in the Expansion Realm.
I had mastered too many things now, but I had only scratched the surface, not fully digested them, and certainly not conducted in-depth research.
This was truly... too much of a waste!
So I needed to discard many external influences and fully, wholeheartedly devote myself to study.
Balancing reality and my ideas, knowing what to choose and what to give up—that was what I was going to do next.
And before that, I still had a few trivial matters to handle.
For example... helping Ninglan New City solve its predicant, and helping certain people solve the trouble they faced.
These all seed to be the sa thing: "solving the Dream State Overlap phenonon."
But this would not be without cost.
Solving Ninglan New City's predicant would an the entire Ninglan New City owed a huge favor.
And helping those people solve the Dream State Overlap problem for mining areas could not be exchanged for favors.
Their favors were useless to ; I wanted tangible benefits, which ant a share of the resources they acquired.
I truly felt that "enough is enough" for these resources, but I wasn't a saint.
Any amount of resources, even more, would still be "enough is enough" for .
Big Sis Bai was adapting to my way of thinking, trying to understand my ideas.
This was also a form of enlightennt for .
Perhaps my approach should also be more assertive: saying what needs to be said to whom, and demanding what compensation for what is done.
Besides solving these problems, there was one more thing.
That was the group of students I t yesterday.
Since their ntor had completed the process for them to enter the Expansion Realm, they planned to travel with for convenience.
After all, I had invited them earlier, and I would naturally arrange things for them.
As for why I was kindly inviting them... perhaps I was preparing to develop them into my friends?
As for what a friend was... I was not sure about the definition of this word.
Perhaps soone you could talk to, soone you had common topics with, soone who had similar ideas, or soone who was doing the sa things.
From the very beginning, when I first enrolled, I told myself not to underestimate my peers; genius was everywhere.
But those clowns who constantly sought attention in front of made realize that they were telling that not everyone was worthy of my respect.
Perhaps it was this contrast that gave a decent initial impression of Yi Rui and her group.
And their learning ability was also incredibly terrifying!
They didn't have the Seed of Great Knowledge, nor cheating thods like the mory Bookshelf.
They relied entirely on their own mory to learn Runology, and they didn't have my Floating World-level Spirit Vision; they relied solely on their own exploration.
From the start, they explored the rituals and Runes of Spells, and now they were exposed to the theoretical concepts of True Editing, beginning to understand Spells through Spellbooks...
They chose the sa path as , but through a much more difficult way, and over a longer period.
This was what I respected about them.
So I thought they might beco my friends, a group of friends I could... barely talk to.
At least they wouldn't be awkwardly silent when we t... was this level considered friendship?
So I set the appointnt ti for the afternoon.
After all, they needed ti to prepare, which I could understand.
I arrived at the Witch Academy's Teleportation Hall a little earlier, which was my habit; I liked to arrive and wait ahead of ti.
However, I didn't see Yi Rui and her group first; instead, another person ca.
“Big Sis Xiaohan, you really are here!”
I still rembered the girl who spoke.
Her na was Millian, the mber of the Wan Shi Wu Club who had communicated with about the second Shelter.
However, at this mont, she had changed her address to Big Sis Xiaohan, even though I wasn't older than her.
“Why are you here? You're not here to ask to solve the Dream State Overlap problem in Ninglan New City, are you?”
I inquired. Otherwise, I couldn't think of any other reason.
“That... that is indeed a problem, and I think the decision-making power rests with you. I certainly wouldn't dare to force you if you are unwilling, but this ti I didn't co for that matter.”
Millian quickly said when she saw that I was about to show an impatient expression.
“Then what did you co for?”
“Big Sis Xiaohan, are you forgetting about the second Shelter so quickly? Since you left, many things there have been stagnant. Our Wan Shi Wu Club has almost finished communicating with the eighteen people in charge, and we only need your consent...”
“First, I need to correct a mistake. I have always referred to it as a Shelter, not a sanctuary. That place is a site for them to avoid disaster, the starting point for them to rebuild civilization, not a place for us to bestow housing, food, and give them sanctuary.”
I corrected her.
That was a place for them to acquire power and avoid disaster, not a place for them to ask us for sanctuary.
Many things must proceed from a core philosophy.
Others may not care, but one should not disregard the principles.
“And second, I once said that I leave everything entirely to them to decide, and that they should not ask about anything. Why are they stagnant without my consent? Do they need housing, or do I need housing? If they don't understand this principle, then they can continue to live in tree hollows or dirt pits.”
“Sigh, that's it. Just relay my words to them exactly as they are.”
After saying this, I sighed, my tone softening, and waved my hand.
But Millian was stunned by the impact of my words.
“Y-Yes! I will go and relay the ssage imdiately!”
Millian only reacted after being stunned for a while, nodding quickly.
However, after turning around and leaving, she clenched her jaw, but she still had to do it.
If she couldn't establish a connection with that Teaching Assistant Xiaohan, she would be worthless... and her status would even decline, becoming rely a... gaphone used to relay ssages to those refugees!
So she had to do sothing else.
The Baker family, the Wan Shi Wu Club... these forces pushed her forward to curry favor with Teaching Assistant Xiaohan, and she was unwilling to just be a dog that circled and fawned over her.
Because if she only played this role, once the second Sanctuary... no, the second Shelter was built, she would be worthless.
She was just a temporary link between Teaching Assistant Xiaohan and the Wan Shi Wu Club, a relationship maintained under the pretext of cooperation for the second Shelter.
With many Teaching Assistants leaving the Expansion Realm, Teaching Assistant Xiaohan was the most untouchable existence here, without exception.
So they needed her to bring Teaching Assistant Xiaohan and the Wan Shi Wu Club closer.
But Millian did not dare to reveal any of her little sches.
At least before so of her ideas were realized, she had to handle the current matters well; only then would she have room to maneuver.
Watching the other party leave, I no longer paid attention to the matter.
I continued to wait here for the people I had arranged to et to arrive.
After another while, the appointed ti was about to arrive, and sure enough, I saw several figures in the distance at the entrance.
“Xiaohan We're here!”
Yi Rui, leading the group, quickly waved at , rushing over with the mbers of her club.
There were a total of 12 people, including Yi Rui!
This was a few more people than I had seen yesterday.
“Um, sorry, we weren't late, were we?”
“Mhm Right on ti. I just arrived myself. Did you all... prepare this much stuff?”
I glanced at them.
Although they weren't carrying huge bags, they all had so kind of bag on them.
“Oh, since it's our first ti going and we heard we need to help rebuild civilization there, we brought quite a lot of things. Of course, the main things are so of our commonly used equipnt and spell-casting materials. You know, without the aid of spell-casting materials, research on many Spells is quite troubleso.”
Yi Rui said, pulling open her small bag.
With one grab, she pulled out several Storage Cards.
This was much more exaggerated than carrying huge bags!
One should know that the space inside a Storage Card was very large!
They were using a whole stack of them?
“You prepared this much? Did everyone bring this much?”
I asked in shock.
“More or less. My ntor gave a sester off, supporting to go to the Expansion Realm to gain so experience.”
“ too, until the end of the sester... that's quite a long ti.”
“Ah, this... it's not like you can't co back from the Expansion Realm, and there are many materials there too. Since you're in the Expansion Realm, you should try more unfamiliar materials. Otherwise, how is this different from staying in your original place?”
I said, slapping my forehead.
“That does make sense, but since we already brought them... I'm also very curious about how many novel materials are in the Expansion Realm.”
“And we can also conduct comparative experints. I think that's very aningful.”
“Fine, since you've already arrived, let's go over together first.”
I stopped dwelling on this matter.
After all, no matter what, they had done their best, relying on their own ideas to achieve what they thought was the best extent.
They were rely inexperienced with the Expansion Realm, not lacking in ideas.
However, my group's appearance at the Teleportation Hall imdiately attracted the attention of many people.
Since Ninglan New City was open, the daily flow of people here was considerable.
The sudden appearance of several Teaching Assistants and upper-year students "teaming up" naturally caught the eye.
Even though Yi Rui and her group were usually very low-key, she was still a Teaching Assistant.
Furthermore, she wasn't the only Teaching Assistant among the dozen or so who ca along; there were a few others as well.
Of course, the most noticeable one was , leading the way.
The students still active in Ninglan New City were basically no longer strangers to my na.
Leaving aside the current Ninglan New City Dream State crisis that only I could solve, even just the Dream Magic Spell that allowed self-preservation in the Dream State was my handiwork.
The two large Shelters currently under construction also had so connection with .
So... it was hard not to beco famous.
And this news quickly spread throughout the Witch Academy, and people who had connections with Yi Rui would also notice this matter.
Even though they had only made one decision, this would undoubtedly stir up another level of turbulence.
However, the consequences of this matter were none of my concern.
With the enthusiastic reception of the service personnel here, we entered Ninglan New City.
“Is this Ninglan New City?”
“As expected, there's a sudden burst of pleasure as if all the chains on my body have vanished!”
“Is this the world without the Great Weakening Spell? I feel like I could now cast a Fireball bigger than myself Bare-handed!”
The group that had just arrived in Ninglan New City imdiately felt the spatial difference.
As scholars who deeply researched Spells, seeing such active energy and elents around them made them overly excited.
I turned around and let them adapt to the new environnt.
I didn't say anything to them; after all, I would be just as excited in their position.
I quietly stepped forward and first communicated with the City Guard here.
Everyone in the City Guard here knew .
The mont they saw , they gave the highest salute, and the one in charge proactively ca forward to communicate with .
After a brief explanation of the situation, they knew exactly what to do.
“Alright Sisters, let's first settle into our accommodation. Rember not to experint with high-power Spells within the city and pay attention to Spell usage regulations. After all, the Spell power is stronger here, and it's hard to control at first, which can cause danger.”
After finishing the arrangents, I turned around, clapped my hands, and said to everyone, “The Ninglan New City Hotel has already seen 13 explosions and 4 fire incidents due to outside visitors, so please restrain yourselves for now. I'll figure out a way to arrange an experintal area for you later. Let's complete the check-in process first, and then you can look around and adapt to the new environnt.”
