I wonder how many will read this. It is but the words written by a madman lacking sleep. Written only in the middle of the night for extra crazy.

Will this book be read I know not. But I can assure you I am probably mad.


I also wonder how people find this. By accident? Definitely not on purpose. Do they read it and laugh, do they read and say this person is an idiot? I wonder.

This isn't a story it's just my thoughts written only when I am extremely tired in the middle of the night. Philosophical b.s. in a way. Expect nothing. Because you shall receive nothing.

The world becomes a video game. You know, the classic cliches: Pretty women, extraordinary skills, and a ton of cool stuff; but from a programmer's point of view.
...
Many years ago I read a novel with a system, I liked it a lot, it was really fun; But, in most of the web novels I've read, that system can easily be replaced by a wishing well or "magic godfather," and it wouldn't make a difference. What do I mean? It lacks functionality, the same with the skills, "bun", "pan", "splash" ... they are interesting the first time, but after reading a lot, you can not differentiate one skill from another, in a different novel. I want more details! What color are they, how are they used, how does it work.
That's what I want to convey, but make it light enough without losing logic.
One more thing, the "R-18" label is only a warning to sensitive people. Because I think the many possibilities will make it interesting (anything can happen).
An annotation for those of the hog culture, most likely if there will be material, but I do not know when, there is no schedule of a perverted chapter after a number of other chapters, nor will there be "*" to differentiate them.
As I am more inclined to mathematics and logic, there are things to learn; I await your comments.
Nice working with you.
Regards.
Thanks to Google-sensei (I'll improve the translation later)

The world becomes a video game. (SFX: Dramatic Music.) You know, the classic cliches: Pretty women, extraordinary skills and a lot of cool stuff, there will even be some wars; but, following the rules of a programmer.

What do i mean?

[Operation and rules are important.]
I do not know what you believe, but, in most novels that I have read, they always start with a system full of details, many functions and buttons to click; but as the story progresses, they are fading, forgotten, and only appear to save the day. what a coincidence! They are more like magical godparents who fulfill wishes.
 Obviously, the system cannot be the protagonist either, but you have to make them useful.
And with respect to the rules of the "game", they must understand that even cheats are within the rules. In games everything must follow the rules, especially if you have the power to turn the world into a "video game", it would be ridiculous to leave those bugs.

[The abilities]
When I read, in most novels, there are only explosions, and the name of the abilities. What are they? How are they used? Or any other detail, it just doesn't exist.
I just need something minimal, to be able to imagine it better.

[The logic]
From my own personal perspective, no matter how crazy the world you create is, by itself, it is not without logic; but, you should not contradict yourself in later chapters.
Or so I want to try.


I don't know what reason made you read this far, but thank you. And already in confidence, I must confess, that this is the second synopsis that I write, and it does not seem very synopsis. But I have improved. And the third must be better.

* If you are sensitive or easily offended, you had better not read. I am not sure myself that I am going to write. They are warned.

Thank you.

Huo Yanxi raised his brow with a look of surprise when he heard the host. 
Although Huo Yanxi was aware of his foster sister's good grades, ranking 6th in the country during the National Quiz Contest's preliminary test went beyond being 'good'. 
She was truly a straight-A student and the goddess of studying. 
Lu Xia remained calm and modest as she answered the host's questions unhurriedly. "The preliminary test results mean nothing. I will continue to do my best and perform well for the final quiz so as not to disappoint any of you."
The host beamed widely as she changed the subject and started interviewing the other members of the group. 
Huo Yanxi stopped watching the interview. Instead, he fished out his phone and texted Lu Xia on WeChat. 
[Congratulations on coming 6th in the country.]
Lu Xia happened to have her phone with her at the time. 
When she saw Huo Yanxi's text, she thought for a few seconds before she replied: [Thanks, Brother Yanxi. Cute face emoticon. How did you get to know about my result?]
Huo Yanxi smiled and replied: [I just saw you on a variety show.]
Lu Xia's fingers paused, then she wrote: [Haha, does Brother Yanxi watch dumb shows like these? I thought you checked it on the official website for the quiz.]
Huo Yanxi could not help asking in surprise: [Does your quiz have an official website?]
Lu Xia narrowed her eyes and replied: [Of course. If you want to check on a student, you need to enter his or her candidate number, or else it's simply too much trouble to scroll through the entire ranking list. After all, there are so many middle school students in the country who participated.]
Huo Yanxi wrote: [That's true. When's the next round? Don't forget to tell me about your scores.]
Lu Xia sent another cute emoticon over and wrote: [Sure thing. The next round happens next week. I'll text you when my scores are out.]
Huo Yanxi replied: [Good luck!]
Song Ning yelled that lunch was ready, so Huo Yanxi stopped chatting with Lu Xia and put his phone away. When he stood up, he glanced at Huo Yao shutting her book calmly. 
The cover page of the book was entirely in English without a single Chinese annotation. It looked like serious reading. 
Huo Yanxi was startled. Despite his relatively good command of English, he was incapable of figuring out the subject of the book at a glance. 
His younger sister was able to look so engrossed reading this English book. She had been undistracted even when he turned on the television. 
She was simply too pretentious. 
If Huo Yao was reading a normal English textbook, he would have thought nothing of it, but…
Fine, she sure was very good at acting studious. 
Huo Yanxi shook his head speechlessly and headed to the study to tell his father that dinner was ready. 
*
At the dining table, Song Ning ignored her firstborn son and kept placing food in her daughter's bowl. 
"Yaoyao, eat more. You've been reading so much that you've lost weight," said Song Ning heartbrokenly. 
The other kids hung out with their friends over the weekends, but their daughter just kept studying. If this went on, Huo Yao would genuinely become a nerd. 
When Huo Yanxi heard Song Ning saying that Huo Yao had been studying hard, he cast a weird look at her. 
Everyone read books that were related to their middle school studies. But what was his little sister reading?
He could not bring himself to appreciate his mother for this unconditional indulgence of her daughter. 


The aristocratic Lu family has produced a joke, a beautiful one, but a joke nonetheless. The daughter they have been rearing all this while turns out to be an imposter! With the real heiress returning to take her rightful place, everyone is eager to know the outcome of the imposter...
Will she be able to survive in poverty after living a life of riches?
Having just transmigrated, Huo Yao imagines that this experience will be pretty interesting. However, imagination and reality are always so different! 
Dad: "Daughter! Take this black card. It has no limit! Use it freely."
Mom: "My dear Yao Yao! If you don't like this jewelry, I'll get them to change it immediately."
Huo Yao: "…"
Weren't they supposed to be poor and ordinary? What is with this hidden lavish behavior?
Her eldest brother, an investment company's CEO: "Sis, inherit my company!"
Her second brother, a top lawyer: "Whoever dares slander my sis will face the full brunt of the law!"
The third brother, an international genius doctor: "Bullying my sister? Should I display the prowess of my scalpel?"
Mysterious fourth brother: "My sis is the cutest!"
Huo Yao: "…"
What happened to being a good-for-nothing person who lives off her parents?
A top aristocrat secretly changes into his cheap clothes and drives his crappy old car to her. "Baby, my heart is yours. Why don't we get married to test if I'm telling the truth or not?"
Everyone who knows about it, doesn't dare say it out loud. 
All they can do is curse inwardly: "Bah! Keep acting! No one believes it!"

As soon as the silver water snake entered the ocean, it merged with the seawater, as if it had disappeared.
Zhou Wen made it search the bottom of the sea. After a while, he saw the silver water snake crawl out of the sea with something in its mouth.
Zhou Wen saw that it looked like a black pineapple without leaves. On careful look, he realized that it was an egg covered in scales.
The black six-winged dragon's egg? Zhou Wen was overjoyed.
The silver water snake handed the egg to Zhou Wen. Zhou Wen looked at it using the mysterious phone. It was indeed a Mythical Companion Egg.
Six-Winged Guardian Dragon: Mythical
Life Providence: Guardian Dragon
Life Soul: Wings of Black Flame
Wheel of Destiny: The Last Guardian
Strength: 69
Speed: 68
Constitution: 68
Essence Energy: 65
Talent Skill: Poison Breath, Dragon's Rage, Hell Demonic Flame, Six Wing Slash.
Companion Form: Demonic Flaming Dragon Wings
A true Mythical Companion Beast! Zhou Wen was surprised and delighted. This was the first time he had seen a true Mythical Companion Egg.
The Companion Beasts he had now only had the potential of being Mythical, but none had truly advanced to the Mythical stage. The one closest to the true Mythical stage was Demonic Neonate, but her stats were too low. She needed to grow again; otherwise, she could only release her flying sword from afar and not participate in any head-on combat.
This Six-Winged Guardian Dragon was a true Mythical creature. If it could hatch, it would undoubtedly raise Zhou Wen's strength greatly.
With it, the chances of Zhou Wen defeating the Mythical Creature in the temple were much higher.
The Essence Energy requirement must be very high, but my Slaughterer has the ability to have unlimited Essence Energy. I should be able to hatch it, right? Zhou Wen thought as he used the mysterious phone to snap the Six-Winged Guardian Dragon egg into his phone before letting the blood-colored avatar attempt to hatch it.
The incubation went surprisingly smoothly. After activating Slaughterer, the blood-colored avatar easily hatched the Six-Winged Guardian Dragon. Its tattoo appeared on his back.
Zhou Wen excitedly summoned the Six-Winged Guardian Dragon. The feeling of seeing a black dragon appear in front of him was indescribable.
However, the Six-Winged Guardian Dragon that appeared in front of Zhou Wen only had two dragon wings. It wasn't in its six-winged form.
After Zhou Wen made it use its Life Soul, the Six-Winged Guardian Dragon took on the six-winged form, and its strength increased greatly.
After getting the Six-Winged Guardian Dragon to use all its skills, Zhou Wen realized that the fellow's skills weren't complete. It had fewer skills than the real Six-Winged Guardian Dragon, but these four skills were enough.
What Zhou Wen was more concerned about was its Wheel of Destiny. Demonic Neonate also had the Wheel of Destiny, but it was written "One Spin" without any annotations.
However, the Six-Winged Guardian Dragon was different. Behind the Wheel of Destiny was the "The Last Guardian," and there was also an annotation.
The Last Guardian: Miracle of Life Ward.
Although it had an annotation, Zhou Wen still didn't understand what it meant. He got the Six-Winged Guardian Dragon to demonstrate it, but it couldn't.
Regardless, having his first true Mythical Companion Beast made Zhou Wen very excited.
Riding on the Six-Winged Guardian Dragon, Zhou Wen circled the sky and realized that it wasn't as comfortable as he had imagined. This fellow's flying state was too violent and wasn't stable at all. Riding it was like riding a wild, unbridled horse. The feeling wasn't good.
From the looks of it, it's not that great an experience when the legendary Dragon Knights in the West District ride dragons. Zhou Wen unsummoned the dragon and glanced at the golden apple that hadn't ripened. In the end, he gave up the thought of plucking it and left the mysterious dimensional zone.
After returning to the Peninsula of Gods, he quickly contacted An Sheng.
"You were the one who killed Medusa, right?" An Sheng had clearly seen the photo online and asked directly.
Zhou Wen recounted the situation. An Sheng wasn't as excited as Lucas and company. He said to Zhou Wen solemnly, "Young Master Wen, you only have one life. Furthermore, it doesn't only belong to you. I hope you won't use your life to do such dangerous things again."
"I originally only wanted to lure Medusa away. I never expected that I couldn't lose her no matter how hard I tried. In the end, I was forced by the circumstances," Zhou Wen explained.
"This absolutely mustn't happen a second time. Forget it, I'll quickly take you back. I can't let you stay outside any longer. It's only been a few days, but you nearly died twice. I'll let you return to school where you attend classes and game," An Sheng said.
"Has the ban on the Peninsula of Gods been lifted?" Zhou Wen asked.
"After Medusa escaped, the Peninsula of Gods was already in chaos. What's the use of the ban? That thief has probably left the Peninsula of Gods long ago, so there's naturally no need for them to continue the ban." An Sheng paused before saying, "Quickly come back. I'll go book the flight tickets now."
When Zhou Wen returned to the hotel, An Sheng didn't say anything else. However, he booked the earliest ticket to leave the Peninsula of Gods. They could leave tomorrow morning.
When Zhou Wen was resting, he unlocked his phone to look at Lucas's personal page. The comments below the picture had exceeded 200,000. The latest messages were asking who the hero was.
This was because Lucas had confirmed Medusa's death after his return. Now, they only wanted to know who killed Medusa.
Thankfully, there was only his back view in the photo, and because of the light, it wasn't very clear. Even An Sheng had relied on guessing. It was impossible for him to recognize Zhou Wen with this photo. No matter how many times the Special Inspector Bureau guessed, it was probably impossible to think of him. After all, in the bureau's eyes, he was still a student who hadn't advanced to the Epic stage.
This photo was not only popular on the Peninsula of Gods, but even the Federation's brass had noticed it.
After all, Medusa had really appeared. Such a creature was undoubtedly at the Mythical stage. They paid close attention to people who could kill Mythical creatures.
It wasn't impossible for someone in the Federation to kill Mythical creatures. At least, there were such people in the six families. However, that was only because they relied on Mythical pets. Furthermore, there weren't many of them. Each family only had a few capable of such feats.
Now that a person who could kill Mythical creatures had suddenly appeared, it naturally attracted the attention of many factions. It wasn't just the six families. The powerful bigshots in many places were guessing who this person was and whether he was from the six families.
However, few people knew the answer. The next morning, An Sheng took Zhou Wen to the airport.
Zhou Wen sat in the departure hall while An Sheng went to the bathroom. As he was texting Lucas to bid him farewell, someone walked to the chair behind Zhou Wen and sat down.
Zhou Wen didn't notice the person, but after he sat down, he leaned against the back of the chair behind Zhou Wen. The back of his head bumped into Zhou Wen's hair.
Zhou Wen frowned slightly. Just as he was about to lean his head forward and not get too close to him, he heard a voice behind him. "It looks like you've been doing pretty well recently."


1 drop of blood = 1-Up
Other people game overnight, I game overnight and bleed.
Ever since the dimensional storms descended upon Earth, numerous dimensional zones have appeared, bringing with them all kinds of dimensional creatures—Immortals, Buddhas, Devils, Angels, Elves, etc.
Yet, all these strange dimensional zones can turn into dungeon instances on my phone. Other people risk their lives adventuring, I spend all my time gaming.
Monsters drop dimensional crystals that boost stats, imbue new skills, and join me as Companion Beasts. These Companion Beasts fight alongside me or alone, augmenting me with their skills and strength. Rare monsters in real life? I'll just restart the game with a drop of blood to grind it.
I really need a blood transfusion.

"How may I address you?" the middle-aged man asked.
"Xiao's my surname." Xiao Lin did not immediately reveal his name, since the man was still a stranger.
The man did not seem to mind and smiled kindly, "My surname is Lin, and I left Dawn Academy a couple of decades ago. What grade are you in?"
Xiao Lin noticed that the man used 'left' instead of 'graduate', and that he had left for a couple of decades already. That would mean he was a very old senior, which confused and surprised Xiao Lin somewhat. In any case, he did not ask too much, and replied, "Freshman."
The man was a little surprised. "Just enrolled? A freshman?"
"Yes."
"I'm surprised that a Dawn's freshman is here in New Washington."
The two chatted briefly, but the man did not continue to ask Xiao Lin what he was doing there or how he arrived. It was quite clear that the man was a very educated person, and their topic soon shifted back to the bookshelves there.
"These books are my personal collection. They were collected during my travels around the New World in my early years. Not all of them are skill books. There are also some translations. I don't have any other hobbies, so all I do is read books. I can't use these books at all and it's a waste just to store them, so I opened up a small shop here. I don't really want to make money either, so it's good enough if I call a few friends over to hang out here in my spare time."
Speaking of that, the man smiled and said, "You can choose whatever you want and I'll give it to you at cost price. It's rare for customers to come over, and it wouldn't hurt to give them to you too, but I'd still have to recover some of the cost. The cost of housing in New Washington isn't cheap."
Xiao Lin dove right in and began choosing, but within minutes, the man knew that Xiao Lin was a layperson who did not know how to pick out skill books. He was not too surprised after recalling that Xiao Lin was only a freshman, so he began to explain everything little by little.
Skill books were obviously different concepts from that in video games. It was not as though one could learn them immediately with the simple click of a mouse. Skill books were actually textbooks that describe in detail the composition of skills, its learning requirements, and their usage methods. The higher quality ones even came with classic battle examples.
The skill books on the man's bookshelf were very old. The page corners were severely rolled-up and heavily creased, but it was clear that the man had stored those skill books very well and they were not too damaged.
Xiao Lin was not too averse to it, but he was still rather reluctant to pay. Those were not new books, but they did not seem to be cheap, even though they were sold at cost price.
However, his eyes lit up immediately after flipping through some of the books and his earlier doubts were completely cast away. In addition to the printed words, lines of small red writing frequently occurred beside them. They were almost certain to be annotations that the man added on.
The man guessed what Xiao Lin was thinking. "Those are my own personal learning experiences in the early days. You can refer to it if you want, but you can also ignore them. I dare not say that my experience is suitable for everyone."
Xiao Lin flipped through some high-level skill books, and although he might not be able to learn its contents immediately, the man's annotations were undoubtedly of great value.
Taking an example from the Flame Bullet's skill book, the man had the following annotation beside a certain section of the introduction to the initial hand casting action: 'If these actions are omitted, the power of the Flame Bullet will only be reduced by about 10%, but the casting time of the converged element will be reduced by several seconds.'
Such tiny details could sometimes play a crucial role. After all, the reduction of a spell's casting time by a couple of seconds might prove to be the deciding factor between life and death.
Xiao Lin read those remarks with gusto and soon realized that he had been acting impolitely. Booksellers must surely loathe customers who only read without buying.
The man returned to his sofa and said with a smile, "Sit here and read. There's more light here."
Xiao Lin was a little embarrassed and put down the skill book. Aside from skill books, there were many works translated from the New World there. Though they were not necessarily skill books, they were all written by the local indigenous masters.
Xiao Lin felt spoilt for choice. Good books seemed to be all around him, but he did not know which one to choose.
The man saw his awkwardness and walked over again. "Tell me. What type of course are you taking? Realistically speaking, most of my skill books are probably not useful for freshmen."
Xiao Lin thought for a while, and said, "Any basic skill books are fine."
The man cocked an eyebrow. "What kind? There are plenty of basic skills. There are basic skills spells using all the major elements, as well as others that use complex elements. There are also basic skills for various weapons used in close combat."
"What types do you have then?" Xiao Lin asked. The man's book annotations were very useful, and Xiao Lin did not mind purchasing some basic skill books if there were some.
"Hehe, what if I have both?"
Xiao Lin was a little surprised. He could not help but wonder if the man mastered all weapons.
The man saw through Xiao Lin's thoughts again and laughed as he said, "I mentioned that I like reading books, but I enjoy collecting books even more. I don't have much energy to learn the skill books here. Many of them were actually bought back from others at a low price. Skill books are considered consumable items, because they have no value once you master a particular skill. People rarely buy used skill books, so I'll buy them at a low price."
"You buy them at a low price just to read them?" Xiao Lin was a little puzzled, but he quickly realized that the man read other people's notes in the skill book rather than the book itself.
Sure enough, the man said, "Everyone's understanding of skills is different. I'm not a prodigy, let alone a talented student. My understanding of some skills is actually based on the summary of other people's learning experiences."
"Can you show me your basic skills book?"
"You'll have to wait a moment."
The man very happily agreed and turned to head to his basement. After a while, he came back with a heavy copper box and placed it on the floor with a thud. The box was completely covered with a thick layer of dust.
"I've been accumulating these from my travels abroad during the early years. I haven't read them for decades. Later, all the major colleges began using standard textbooks and few people read these basic skill books too."
The man wiped off the dust as he explained and opened the lid of the box. It was filled with books of all sizes. Xiao Lin picked up a copy and looked through it before unexpectedly discovering that it was filled with handwritten characters. The difference from the skill books on the bookshelf lay in the fact that the books inside the box were all handwritten.
One might as well call them study notes instead of skill books.
Xiao Lin looked at the man with both surprise and doubt. 


What would you do if you were transported to an academy where becoming immortal was possible? Where magic spells and swordsmanship were your courses and fighting zombies and wars were your exams? Dawn Academy was no ordinary learning institution and Xiao Lin was about to find out how mysterious and exciting this magical academy really was. 
Join this self-professed gaming nerd as he embarks on a journey that takes learning to a whole other level. With flying dragons, high-tech systems, and alien livestock that makes your bowels explode, Xiao Lin’s freshmen adventure is just the tip of the iceberg.


Unexpectedly, the first page of the book was a map of the Evernight Kingdom.
Back in Goldspink Empire, any map was considered military secret. Anyone who was not a military that obtained a map, even if unintentionally, would be badly sentenced. But here, the book had the map drawn on its first page, with details. From altitudes, topographic features, to different data numbers.
Was this Evernight Kingdom so strong that they would not mind getting challenged, or was Fey Continent so peaceful that different nations were willing to share their secrets without worrying about wars?
The landscape of Evernight Kingdom looked like a flipped-over turtle. Judging from the measuring scale on the bottom-left corner… The kingdom was several times bigger than the Old Earth! Angor checked the description behind. The Evernight Kingdom was one of the many nations in the south of the Fey Continent, and a middle-sized one at that.
This is middle-sized?! 
Angor realized that people were serious when they referred to the Old Earth as the "Marginalized Island". Compared to the Evernight Kingdom, a "middle-sized" nation, the Old Earth was only an island for sure.
Angor also noticed the traffic lines extending towards all directions. He thought they were government-controlled highways, but the annotation on the right showed that most of them were railways for steam trains.
Did it mean the Fey Continent had entered the age of steam? Or the age of electricity? Angor could only guess.
He went on. From the next page, the book began talking about wizard organizations in the Evernight Kingdom.
Only two big organizations were explicitly introduced: the Sleepless City and Edge of Night. There were also 17 relatively common organizations.
A country over ten million square kilometers only had so few organizations? On second thought, talents were rare, so this was completely normal.
The latter half of the book talked about common meditation methods used by the organizations in the Evernight Kingdom.
Angor learned some principles about meditation from Mara, but no details. He always felt there was a barrier blocking his view. Now, Sunders' books were about the basics of meditation, so they would do a great job helping Angor know the wizarding world better.
Angor calmed his mind and began reading quietly.
Time flew by in the absolute tranquility.
"Planning to sleep here?"
Flora's seducing voice reached his ears. He got used to it during these days, but still, hearing the child-like, sharp tone in the middle of the night while he was focused on his reading still scared the hell out of him.
"Good evening, Lady Flora." Angor put down his book and greeted her carefully.
"Well, I'll be… Teacher actually allowed you to read his books? Looks like he really liked you." Flora landed on the floor and stepped onto the soft carpet with her bare feet. She walked in a circle around Angor as she asked, "Maybe you don't mind telling me your talent now?"
"My talent? I don't know. The teacher didn't tell me," Angor spoke sadly.
"Hey… that's not right. That guy wasn't like this before," Flora mumbled. She asked, "Tell me what happened just now then. In details."
Angor recalled his meeting with Sunders and found nothing he should hide. Besides, he did not want to offend Flora anyway, so he explained the situation clearly.
"A real wizard? Heeheehee," said Flora. She let out an eerie smile and inspected Angor's expression curiously. "I see. He didn't even teach you channeling, he just asked you to read here.
"He really liked you," Flora said that again, but she sounded more serious this time.
"Lady Flora, you know something? Can you tell me?" Seeing Flora's "now I know" look, Angor quickly asked.
"Know something? Your talent? Heehee, nope," Flora rolled her eyes against Angor's eagerness. "But! I can tell you some small details that you didn't notice."
"Details I didn't notice?"
"Correct. Do you know the lifestyle of wizards? In this world, everyone obeys a default rule, the 'equivalent exchange', unless they're close relatives." Flora changed the topic.
Angor knew about the equivalent exchange of course. That was why Mara did not teach him Triangle Channeling on The Redbud… Wait! Angor realized something.
"Are you teacher's relative? No. This is only the second day after you met," said Flora. She looked around the bookshelves and asked, "The second day, and he allowed you to read his valuable collections. Are you okay with that?
"You know, everything in the wizarding world has a price. Only knowledge is priceless," said Flora. She turned away and grinned when Angor could not see her.
"So, equivalent exchange. The teacher has granted you such a fortune, what can you give him in return, to finish the deal?" 
Flora then waved goodbye to Angor as she said, "Don't worry too much though. Maybe your talent is just too powerful so the teacher's willing to exchange all that knowledge for it?"
Flora "beat around the bush" and quickly left the room. She could not hold back her laughter any longer if she did not leave right away while looking at the boy's poor and terrified expression.
Angor did not realize that Flora just followed her teacher's suit and joked on him for a second time.
He was still pondering over Flora's words because they sounded so true! It was only the second day, and Sunders gave him such a big gift. The teacher was surely expecting something. Just like the saying from Earth - there was no such thing like a free lunch. If one could see one, then there must be a cost. So what could Sunders get from him? The only thing Angor could think of was his talent which he still knew nothing about.
Back to the first question. What was his talent? Why did Sunders take him away in such a hurry? What could he bring to Sunders? And how far did Angor need to contribute? Would it cost his life?
As he thought about the bad consequences, he felt his mind running into a dead end.
In the end, his eyes spun, and he fell on the floor, mind short-circuited.
Flora peeked at Angor's reaction using her spell and could not help to grin. Maybe because of Sunders' attitude, or out of envy, she always wanted to give her little junior some bullying.
What she said looked reasonable, but they were only to confuse Angor who just came to the wizarding world and did not know about much yet.
True, knowledge was priceless, but not all knowledge. The books intended for apprentices were as useless as toilet paper to wizards. Of course, Sunders' collection contained valuable books even the other wizards desired. However, they were meaningless to a mortal like Angor and unless Angor actually remembered all thousands of pages in those books and took them away in his brain, there was no "equivalent exchange" involved.
She exaggerated about the books' value just because she felt a bit frustrated and wanted to pull a prank on the boy.
He was not even an apprentice yet, and Sunders already began to lead him towards "a real wizard". Meanwhile, Flora had become a wizard herself and she was nowhere near "a real wizard"! 
However, the path of a real wizard was not something one could find with the help of another person. It called for the wizard's own ability to learn as well as finding destiny. Still, Flora was not happy about Angor's boosted starting point when he was just an ordinary kid.
Looking at how Angor was struggling with his mind on the floor, Flora felt her bad mood becoming a lot better. She left while humming a song. 
Not long after, Sunders appeared at where she was and let out a sigh. He shook his head as if he was thinking about something.


A young traveler who receives enlightenment from another civilization is on a mission to save his beloved mentor.

"Okay, I can join the Great King Mountain, but I won't be at anyone's disposal," said Elder Zhao. 
In other words, he was just going to be an in-name teacher at the Great King Mountain and enjoy the benefits it offered. Even if something happened to the Great King Mountain, whether he would intervene would depend on his mood. 
"No problem!" Su Yu answered without hesitation or even thinking about it. With an Elixir Saint's presence, the Great King Mountain would immediately be more stable no matter what. In addition, Mu Xiaoxiao was his disciple. How could he leave her in a lurch if something really happened? 
Most importantly, he would be able to obtain a reward in a lucky draw!

"Congratulations to the host for obtaining a Martial Saint-class expert." 
"Dan Yin, a Martial Saint powerhouse, who also has a flair for alchemy, and is known as Elixir Shroud." 
"System Comment: He is spontaneous and unrestrained, has been traveling the Five Deltas Continent for fun, and is bent on finding disciples who are talented in alchemy. Unless provoked or his principles are violated, the possibility of him leaving the Great King Mountain is not high." 
"1x Prize Draw chance."
"Elder Zhao, we will be family from now on." Su Yu grinned, overwhelmed with excitement. 
"Hmph! Since I've joined the Great King Mountain, you'd better behave yourself, kid. If I find out that you've done something atrocious, I won't spare you!" Elder Zhao humphed coldly, unable to tolerate seeing Su Yu getting all smug and conceited.
"Yes, I will definitely comply with your teachings." Su Yu's face suddenly became solemn, and he straightened his back as he spoke respectfully while performing a military salute from his previous life.
"You're very witty." Su Yu's exaggerated antics made Elder Zhao burst into laughter as he shot Su Yu a hinting glance while glancing at Mu Xiaoxiao from time to time.
Su Yu immediately understood. "Xiaoxiao, Elder Zhao will be the Great King Mountain's Guest Elder. He's an Elixir Saint, so how about you acknowledge him as your master?"
"Okay, I'll listen to you, Brother Su," Mu Xiaoxiao answered straightforwardly. 
Elder Zhao's heart tensed up, and he felt extremely bitter. 
What's so good about this kid? You two have only met each other, and you're so obedient. From now on, I must teach Xiaoxiao well and prevent her from being compelled by this kid.
"I only have some porridge here. Why don't you serve him some porridge in place of tea and take him as your master?" Su Yu suggested. He did not care about those formalities at all. 
Fortunately, Elder Zhao was not the type to be particular about details. Besides, he was too eager about taking in his disciple. 
Ding!
"Initial relationship between the Great King Mountain's characters established." 
The map in Su Yu's mind changed again. There was a new graphic, similar to a pyramidal arrangement, with Su Yu at the top, annotated with the title 'Mountain Great King'.
Ever since Su Yu started, there were many more branches below, one of which belonged to Elder Zhao, who was annotated with the title 'Great King Mountain Guest' and was linked to Mu Xiaoxiao. They shared a master-disciple relationship. The other branches were all blank as he was waiting for new members to join. 
Su Yu could see the management template clearly at a glance. Even if there were new members in the Great King Mountain in the future, Su Yu would be able to find each person quickly and find out their statuses by clicking on their avatars.
Su Yu wasn't eager to go ahead with the prize draw and instead laid on the bed, where he tossed and turned until twelve midnight. After accumulating two prize draw chances, he opened the system.
Ding!
"It's the beginning of the month, 1x Free Prize Draw chance!" 
Su Yu was overjoyed. In the prize draw selection, there was an annotation that stated, "Remaining Prize Draw Chances: 2".
"Would you like to proceed with the Prize Draw?"
Su Yu selected the 'Yes' option without hesitation. 
The scene changed immediately as 30 cards appeared in front of him, arranged according to five rows and six columns. Six of the cards were marked as the Spirit Stone category, six more were marked as the Miscellaneous category, and another six were marked as the Buildings category, while the remaining six were Secret Manual cards. 
Su Yu immediately felt invigorated and looked at the 30 cards carefully. 
The cards in the Spirit Stone category were ranked accordingly: Inferior-Grade Spirit Stones x100, Mid-Grade Spirit Stones x100, Superior-Grade Spirit Stones x100, Inferior-Grade Spirit Stones x500, Mid-Grade Spirit Stones x500, Superior-Grade Spirit Stones x500.
His land cards were namely 1 unit of Class-1 Fruit Land, 1 unit of Grade 1 Arable Land, 1 unit of Class-1 Pasture Land, 1 unit of Class-2 Fruit Land, 1 unit of Class-2 Arable Land, and 1 unit of Class-2 Pasture Land.
There were items like Hoe, Ax, Fishing Rod, Firewood Knife, Vegetable Knife, Great King Mountain Accessories, and Attire in the Miscellaneous category. Note: Attached with Stats. 
The Buildings category included Meridian Hall, Training Room, Great King Mountain Entrance, Martial Arts Ring, Library, and Heroes Hall. 
The Secret Manuals category included Mountain Great King Heart Manual, Agriculture Skill Book, Firewood-Chopping Skill Book, Fishing Techniques Skill Book, Weeding Skill Book, and Hunting Skill Book. 
Su Yu was bedazzled and bursting with joy. He reckoned that those items should have appeared together with the other items, and it was a selection of one from each category. 
As soon as he looked through the information, he placed the cards back. There was a uniform purple pattern on the back of each card. He then began to shuffle the cards, and the sequences were messed up. He did not know which each card represented.
It was obvious that he had to pick a random one based on luck. Su Yu's heart trembled, and he was ready to pick one. 
Although most of the items seemed to be of a rather low standard, the planted rice's outcome made him believe that the items given by the system were definitely luxurious items. Although they looked ordinary, they were invaluable.
However, if he were to obtain 100 low-grade spirit stones during the draw, he would be extremely upset. 
The first type of spirit stone, which Su Yu could earn with his own abilities, was naturally the cheapest, while the second type could be purchased with more spirit stones in the store. Thus, they weren't considered much. The third, fourth, and fifth types were the most important. 
Although the Miscellaneous category items sounded like daily necessities, it would definitely be different from the miscellaneous items that could be purchased from the store as Stats were attached to them. Since it was not sold in the store, there was definitely a reason for it. The items in the Buildings category should be the foundation of the Great King Mountain. The five types of manuals may have names that sounded low level, but Su Yu was very confident that the system would surprise him. 
Which card should I choose? Please, don't let me get spirit stones. It'd be best if I can get a martial arts or Building one. Su Yu was stuck in a dilemma as to which card to choose. 
It shall be you!
Su Yu ground his teeth and chose the third card from the right.
The other cards gradually disappeared, while the chosen card moved to the middle. It gradually became bigger before turning over slowly. 
Su Yu's face flushed as he stared at the cards and mumbled continuously, "No spirit stones, no land. I want a building and a martial arts card!"
It was not a Spirit Stone card! 
Su Yu heaved a sigh of relief. The spirit stones cards were entirely white, but this card's sides were brown. 
It was not a Land card, either! 
Su Yu was overjoyed. The bottom of the Land cards was black, but this card was obviously not it. 
It's a secret manual. It must be a secret manual. This is a world of martial arts. As the Mountain Great King, I naturally have to be at an advantage and suppress the rest. I want a secret manual, Su Yu thought to himself hysterically. 
Although the buildings were important, they were only meant for a facade. The most important thing was to strengthen himself. 
At that moment, the card was already turned halfway, revealing a knife. 
Su Yu was stunned, too. It was an item from the Miscellaneous category. 
Miscellaneous items are not bad either, but I wonder whether it's a vegetable knife or a firewood knife.
Since it was from the third category, it definitely had a high value, and he didn't lose out this time. 
Finally, a bright blade appeared on the card. The knife was narrow, the back was thick, and the tip was curved. The word 'Firewood Knife' was written below the card!


In the world where martial arts are of utmost importance, a martial artist can effortlessly crack a mountain with a wave of his arm. 
On this day, a young man takes a liking to a mountain, occupies it, and calls himself the Great King.
From then on, this mountain becomes a haven where everyone yearns to live in. Supreme powerhouses are rampant here and there are numerous magical beasts. It is known as the nursery for experts and a peaceful place of refuge…
‘Oh my goodness, what did I see? The supreme elites are growing crops and the magical beasts are guarding the door! I must have opened it using the wrong method…’
