Pillar of Yita

While speaking, his hands moved swiftly as he typed a message:

Poster: Shana, Posting time: 10, 9, 22:19

’Madam, you might not believe us, but we’ll show you our sincerity—’

After pressing the send button, he turned to look at his companion, his eyes serious behind his black-rimmed glasses for the first time, ”Your woman, is she gathering information for you, the one—um, a bit of a bimbo?”

R placed the stack of books on the shelf and turned around to look at him coldly.

”Why are you looking at me? Didn’t you hear what I just said? No worries; I’ll say it again—my sister-in-law, a beauty with clever hands, perfectly matches you, has she returned to Eteliria?” said the man, bursting into laughter before quickly changing his tone.

He carefully observed the former.

But R unusually remained calm, shook his head, and said nothing.

The man also showed a serious look, glanced at his own screen, and then said, ”Okay, R, you know we all want to return. Depending on those people is hopeless, so we are each preparing in our own ways—you know the kind of person I am, a wild card, never fitting in with those formally trained folks.”

”I’m just reminding you to be careful not to get recognized and killed,” R casually replied, ”I and Demon Moon can’t afford that embarrassment.”

In the brightly lit hall of the Silver Forest Spear.

The already impatient Little Luo almost jumped three feet high when she heard the response. She hurriedly opened her personal terminal, constantly complaining, ”What the heck, saying I have great potential and then giving me the cold shoulder, these people are so annoying, not even professional deceivers.”

When she opened her terminal, she saw the usual perfunctory response and felt a hint of disappointment. However, upon closer inspection, she noticed an attachment that came with the message.

”Eh, what’s this?” the little girl’s eyes sparkled with curiosity, ”A virus? I’ve never heard of such a thing in the Summoners System?”

She spoke cautiously, but her little hand hesitated not at all to click on the attachment, and a blue loading bar immediately appeared in her field of vision.

”A... training program?”

The screen displayed that the file transfer was in progress.

R shook his head, ”Multi-Polarity Sphere, it’s semi-public data in the second world. Do you really think people will believe what you sent?”

The man responded irritably, ”Don’t judge ordinary people by your standards; you sound like someone who thinks, ’Why bother studying if I can’t get into a top university? Might as well go home and farm sweet potatoes.’ Your tone is so condescending, okay, I admit you are indeed a top student, but could you not always flaunt it, it’s really annoying.”

He pointed at the screen, ”You know it’s the second world. Multi-Polarity Sphere is just a minor issue there, but in the first world, plenty of people haven’t seen it, I bet, and at least half of them wouldn’t solve even the first question.”

”Doesn’t that mean you’ve lost half of your potential customers?” R teased.

”Not necessarily,” the man shook his head, ”If they haven’t solved it, I just pitch my second package, of course—”

”That’s premium content.”

R glanced at him and responded lightly.

”Eh, how did you know?”

”Have you forgotten how we met?”

”Haha,” the man laughed awkwardly, ”You really were my highest quality customer, it’s a pity I wasn’t as discerning back then as I am now; without the Multi-Polarity Sphere, you figured it out.”

The handsome man closed the book in his hands, glanced at him, ”You seem rather proud of that, but what if someone solves those questions?”

The man hesitated for a moment, then adjusted his glasses and shrugged, ”So far, I haven’t met one.”

”But there are always geniuses in this world.”

”No worries,” the man said with a prepared tone, ”Besides the Multi-Polarity Sphere, there’s also the Saint Nanu practical training. Even if none of those work, I could just throw the Chapter of the Key at them—”

R was startled, ”Isn’t that thing still unsolved?”

The man grinned mischievously, ”Isn’t that perfect?”

R couldn’t help but shake his head, ”Sometimes I wonder if standing too close to you might get me struck by lightning too.” He glanced at the screen, ”Hasn’t the other side responded?”

”Haha, that brainless girl seems to have run into trouble.”

The man laughed somewhat gleefully.

And he wasn’t wrong.

When Liuli Yue was walking leisurely back from the other side of the hall with a cold drink in hand, he saw exactly that—Little Luo, her hair bristling in anger, punching her personal terminal furiously.

Luckily, her little fists didn’t pack much punch, failing to smash a hole through the terminal, though they did make a loud bang, startling him.

Liuli Yue watched the feisty little girl with exasperation: ”What mischief are you up to now? Where’s Wu Di?”

While asking, he nonchalantly walked over to take a look at her screen, ”A training program? Surprised this troublemaker can be so well-behaved. What training program, let’s see how many points it’s worth.”

”Don’t, give it back!” Little Luo shrieked in fear.

But in her panic, she even forgot to use her Ranger powers, and relying purely on her physical fitness, how could she snatch it back from the towering Liuli Yue who grabbed the personal terminal from her.
