He brought up the mobile terminal of the Endless Dimension Travel Agency, waited for a while for the signal transmission between the star towers, and then stared wide-eyed at the blank opponent information.
"No way? Such a sneaky fighting style, could it be played by an AI?!"
……
……
"More than an hour has passed, which is about the same as real time..."
Latis nodded and looked at the simulator's results display.
You have won the match!
Your enchanting mastery progress has increased by 0.5%. Please click to view details.
He stroked his chin and glanced at the so-called details page.
"So it's about the progress of mastering different enchantments... Oh, just now I got a 1% increase to Twisting, a 0.5% increase to Ascension, and a more than 1% increase to Coupling..."
"It seems this mode was designed to enhance the enchanting abilities of mages... I wonder why it's called a simulated thesis. Is enchanting such a crucial ability for mages?"
Latis scratched his head, keeping this question to himself for the time being.
"I should really study the magic theories of this world for a while first. It seems it's not as simple as I imagined..."
Suddenly, there was a knock on his apartment door.
Latis opened the door in confusion and found that it was Jennifer.
"Hey, Latis."
Jennifer had changed into the armor of a holy knight, which shone golden even in the dim night.
"I came to see you! I wonder if you're used to the furniture I brought for you..."
Latis smiled, pulled Jennifer into the room, sat down on the sofa, and said:
"Oh, that's so unfamiliar. My ancestors were poor farmers for three generations. We've never used such nice things before."
"Hmph." Jennifer lightly punched Latis's shoulder, feigning annoyance as she asked:
"Then I'll take them all home! You can't use them!"
“That won’t do!” Latis said matter-of-factly.
"Once you're in my house, it's mine!"
Jennifer glanced at herself sitting in his room, gritted her teeth, snorted, and whispered:
"Greedy devil..."
"What's she fussing about!"
Latis scratched the back of his head, completely bewildered, and asked:
"By the way, Jennifer, what brings you here so late at night?"
"Ah, is that so?" Once the topic turned to business, Jennifer instantly cast aside her lingering anxieties and said with a smile:
"I feel that the power within the orb of light you gave me this morning is too obscure and difficult to understand, so I plan to go to the Holy City in the next couple of days to ask the seniors for their guidance."
She paused, noticing the hesitation on Latis's face, then chuckled and said:
"Don't worry, the followers of the Church of Light are all very kind-hearted, there's no possibility of them stealing the treasure. I just came to tell you that you said your mentor would be arriving in Lundia around next Monday! At that time, you can contact my senior sister Tina, and she can help you save too much time on the investigation and waiting."
"And one more thing!" Jennifer scratched her head, coughed, and said:
"Um... how about we exchange personal beacon addresses? That way you can contact me directly if anything happens."
"Personal beacon?" Latis was taken aback. Although he had learned beacon communication techniques in a simulation, he had only just entered the third ring and had not yet truly understood how to use a beacon.
"Yes!" Jennifer nodded vigorously, then asked in surprise, "You haven't used beacon communication before, have you?"
"Use it now, use it now..." Latis chuckled twice, exhaled, and instantly activated his magic power. As the spellbook turned, it froze on the page for the Beacon Communication spell.
Suddenly, an unseen force pulled him up involuntarily. To his surprise, he saw a phantom star fall from the sky into his body, then unfold an elusive link.
At the same time, he felt a solid link descending straight down from the starry sky, accompanied by several other links that, after falling into the magic net, were projected into his body.
"Is it... Arte's beacon? Ah, it's been so many days already. How did she connect to me so early, and why didn't she tell me?"
Latis couldn't help but smirk as he looked at the other links.
"Uh, the 'Hand of the Mage' beacon? This must be the so-called group chat? Who invited me without my permission? Let me check..."
"The remaining few... oh, they're the beacon networks of the three major academies, wow, they're huge! I've been automatically assigned to the mid-level mage class, hmm... why is no one talking in the class group chat?"
He scratched his head, looked at Jennifer who was propping her chin up and staring at him, and smiled:
"I got it done."
"I saw it!" Jennifer chuckled and said, "Join the group, everyone's welcoming you!"
"what?"
After exchanging beacon addresses with Jennifer, Latis, completely bewildered, opened the group chat.
[Note: "Mr. Silver, the Hand of the Mage" has added "I Sell My Crotch in Atlantis" to the group chat.]
[Captain Jenny: Whoa! Look who's here!]
[Mr. Silver, the Mage's Hand: Wow...you two actually know each other?]
[Magical doll enthusiast: Welcome, welcome! Wow, I'm getting up close and personal with my idol!]
[A Gentleman's One-Minute Showdown: God!]
[Captain Jenny: Huh, where's the little artist?]
[The Mage's Hand, the true lineage lies with me: I've been banned from speaking by the dictator for 24 hours and haven't been released yet. Anyway, a new group member is dressed as a woman!]
[Mr. Silver, the Mage's Hand: ...? Don't you value your life?]
[Magic Doll Lover: New Group Member in Women's Clothing!]
[A Gentleman's One-Minute Showdown: New Group Member in Women's Clothing!]
[Captain Jenny: New group member dressed as a woman!]
Latis silently looked at the grinning Jennifer and gave a cold laugh.
Jennifer was taken aback for a moment, then curled the corners of her mouth into a smile and raised an eyebrow provocatively.
"Did you know that I won the championship in Southeast Asia for the first time in 1974... I forget the rest, but anyway, I was known in the martial arts world as 'The Devil Muscle Man'!"
Latis stood up, cracking her knuckles, and before Jennifer could react, she slapped her hard across the face.
It hit her buttocks.
Chapter 114 Mr. Yin's Day
"I'll leave you here then, Jennifer. See you in a few days."
Latis put his hands behind his head, looked at the Hines Mansion not far away, and nodded.
"Hey, I already told you not to bother, I'm not some little girl..."
Jennifer subconsciously rubbed her still-sore bottom, then snorted in annoyance.
"It's just a repetition of what a friend in the group said, why are you being so petty!"
Latis chuckled, flexed his firm glutes, and said:
"So what if I let you fight back?"
"No way." Jennifer sighed and was about to say goodbye when she suddenly noticed the magic photo shop next to her house.
"Wait, Latis, are you free right now?"
"Huh?" Latis scratched his head, pretending to be troubled, and said, "I don't know... I was planning to go back to Lashi."
"..." Jennifer silently clenched her fists, and after giving Latis a hard punch, she angrily dragged him into the magic photo shop.
"What do you want to film? Demon King vs. Hero, or Knight vs. Demon Flower?" Jennifer asked with great interest, looking at the currently popular cosplay themes.
"Little knight, you're much more restrained than you are in the simulation..."
The thought flashed through Latis's mind. He scratched his head and asked:
"Don't you want to take any pictures? Just take pictures of what you like. You're already here, so go ahead and take pictures!"
"Huh? Really?" Jennifer turned around, chuckled, and said:
"I don't know what to photograph... Do you have a favorite style of photography?"
Looking into Jennifer's slightly nervous, pale red eyes, Latis sighed inwardly and shook his head.
"Fine, since you're always the one taking the initiative in the simulation, I'll take the initiative in real life this time..."
Under Jennifer's tense gaze, he gradually grinned, patted Jennifer on the shoulder, and said with a chuckle:
"What are you worrying about, little knight? I like what you like, don't worry!"
"Huh?" Jennifer paused, trying to steady her darting gaze. She snorted angrily, then touched the shoulder where Latis had patted her, lowered her head, and smiled maliciously.
"Since you put it that way, then I won't stand on ceremony!"
……
Two hours later, an excited Jennifer followed a dazed Latis out of the magic photo shop.
"That was so tough! You've worked so hard, my simulated self..."
Latis was mentally ranting and raving when he suddenly saw Jennifer run up to him, extend her hand, and offer him a photo.
"This is the one I think is the best, so I'm giving it to you!"
Jennifer chuckled, patted Latis on the shoulder happily, and said:
Goodnight! See you in a few days, my princess!
The title "Your Highness" stunned Latis. He stared blankly as Jennifer skipped up the stairs of the mansion, then waved, gave a knightly salute, and closed the door.
"What a...lively little knight."
Latis scratched his head and looked at the commemorative photo in his hand.
