Is It Weird for a Guy to Apply to a Witch School?

Chapter 596: Idea of Incorporating the Myriad Connection Main Network Tree into the System

Language represents many things, and to learn a language, one needs to master the most basic ”character recognition” and ”grammar”.

Although the languages I learned in that small world were not very many, the pros and cons of languages and scripts can be felt during the learning process.

Some languages require recognizing twenty to thirty thousand commonly used characters or ”words” before one can conduct barrier-free communication in daily life, etc.

While some languages and scripts only require a literacy level of several thousand characters, coupled with flexible grammar, to complete daily communication and the appreciation of the vast majority of literary works.

And that is exactly what I did.

The Earth Vein Operating System at this moment has already become a dictionary and lexicon regarding language mutual translation.

Do not underestimate the Great Tree of Knowledge’s ability to process knowledge.

With these foundations, only teaching remains.

After all, language teaching is continuous error correction and deepening of impression amidst constant practice, and their best teachers are those refugees who hope to communicate with them.

So I did not use the Shadow of Knowledge to train these people learning brand-new languages, because it’s completely unnecessary, isn’t it?

The purpose of the language they are learning is to communicate with them.

The development of things seems to have become faster than I anticipated, possibly also because I became a hands-off boss, changing the knowledge I was originally going to teach into something for them to self-study.

But just as I said before, the reason Ninglan New City is called Ninglan New City is because they are not a campus of the Witch Academy.

There are no teachers teaching them for free.

Even if they affectionately call me ”Scholar Xiao Han” or ”Teacher Xiao Han,” I remain unmoved.

Perhaps in the eyes of other teaching assistants, my behavior is a model of doing a thankless task, right?

During this period, I once again cast the Shadow of Knowledge for the group of City Defense Army sent by Mo Le.

I have to say this group of people truly deserves to be handpicked; at least they know what they are doing.

Don’t ask what shouldn’t be asked.

Guys who don’t cause trouble for others are the most likable.

After finishing these, Wu Mali also invited me to visit the current development of the Extraordinary Association.

It can be said that the development of extraordinary techniques in the current association is very rapid.

Even the extraordinary killers that needed to be hidden last time can see prototypes here.

It seems the City Defense Army has probably already started using new-style equipment.

But... these are still not quite enough to look at.

Perhaps only those at the most cutting-edge Extraordinary Technique Research Base in Ninglan New City are enough to look at.

I prefer more novel things, rather than watching them do addition and subtraction with the same techniques over and over again.

Although they have embarked on rune techniques similar to the Witch Academy, different civilizations also have different focuses.

I hope to see brand-new shining points in their techniques.

Just as my figure appeared in the hall of the Extraordinary Association, a girl who had been waiting at the door for a long time came directly forward.

”May I ask if you are Teacher Xiao Han?”

”Hm? Yes, you are?”

Looking at this girl who suddenly appeared in front of me, I asked curiously.

”Let me introduce myself. My name is Lan Ke, considered a secretary beside City Lord Qiuyue. City Lord Qiuyue was very excited after learning that Teacher Xiao Han came over, so she asked me to come over, hoping to invite you over for a meeting.”

The girl said, with a hint of expectation in her tone.

”Ninglan Qiuyue huh... I see.”

I nodded, considered agreeing.

After all, I have already helped with matters regarding language.

If I still have to feed it into his mouth, that would really be inappropriate.

Just right to go to Ninglan Qiuyue’s place to see what the situation is now.

After simply explaining things to Shen Tule and Wu Mali, I followed this girl who claimed to be Ninglan Qiuyue’s secretary to Ninglan Township Fortress.

Ninglan Township Fortress remains the residence of the City Lord of Ninglan New City and the hub of the entire Ninglan New City’s operation.

After I arrived, I found that this place seemed to have been renovated, but the overall style still retained its original characteristics.

Looking at the brand-new Ninglan Township Fortress, I also sighed at the luxury.

But no matter what, as the lord of a city, so-called luxury perhaps also represents the facade.

Moreover, these seemingly expensive materials are just ordinary building materials for the Transcendent Academy.

After all, the value of materials exploded after alchemy failures in the Transcendent Academy might be enough for another Ninglan Township Fortress.

Do not underestimate the extent of witches being spendthrifts.

Crossing the continuous stairs, I finally walked into this huge castle.

Only a scattered few were discussing official business in the place where the City Lord and high officials deliberated ahead, but the design here was quite magnificent.

”This way please, City Lord Qiuyue should be waiting here.”

Lan Ke led me to a corridor on the side.

I was somewhat familiar with this place; it led to the VIP reception room.

Pushing open the door of the reception room, the figures inside soon attracted my attention.

”Big Sis Xiao Han.”

”Un.”

Looking at Ninglan Qiuyue who stood up somewhat excitedly, I just gave a light hum.

Subsequently, my gaze was attracted by two other figures.

Because these two figures were two teaching assistants.

At that previous meeting, although I didn’t deliberately try to understand everyone, I had seen all the teaching assistants present.

At least they were familiar faces, so I wouldn’t have no impression upon seeing them.

And these two were exactly so.

Cooperating with the Earth Vein Appraisal Spell, I also learned their identities.

But what surprised me somewhat was that these two were not both teaching assistants from the Witch’s Secret Realm Club as I guessed.

The other one... was actually from Wan Shi Wu.

Looks like the relationship between Wan Shi Wu and the Witch’s Secret Realm Club seems quite good?

”You two, didn’t expect to see you here as well.”

Regarding these two, I also got straight to the point.

Presumably, they shouldn’t have too many schemes against me either.

After all, playing tricks on someone uncontrollable requires the ability to bear the consequences of the other party flipping the table.

”It is an honor. Not having a good acquaintance with you after that meeting ended was a great regret of ours.”

”Indeed, hope Teaching Assistant Xiao Han won’t vent that resentment on the club because of individual reasons.”

”Old matters naturally have no need to be brought up again.”

I waved my hand, considered turning the page on this awkward matter.

And after I finished saying this sentence, those two also breathed a sigh of relief slightly.

After all, for them, being remembered by such a person is even more uncomfortable than being directly targeted, because you don’t know when the other party will give you a big one.

”Very surprised that you guys came over this time and didn’t go out of the city to scrape those resources from the outside world immediately.”

”Isn’t Teaching Assistant Xiao Han the same? Heard that you still had the leisure to teach people from the Literary Association a brand new language.”

”True. After all, at that meeting, Teacher Lina gave us two choices, and I didn’t choose to be that bandit.”

”Haha Bandit... Teaching Assistant Xiao Han’s way of putting it is truly humorous. However, those people are indeed like bandits, afraid that if they come in late, things will be snatched by others.”

The girl sitting next to Ninglan Qiuyue chuckled lightly, seeming to agree with my statement very much.

And this girl is a teaching assistant from the Witch’s Secret Realm Club, named Betsy, while the one beside her is a teaching assistant from Wan Shi Wu, named Winnie.

Have to say, with these two big clubs united, no one would believe if they said they didn’t want to pull off something big.

However, I also don’t quite understand what they are trying to do.

Use the relationship with Ninglan Qiuyue to unite with Ninglan New City to harvest resources?

After all, no matter what, Ninglan Qiuyue is just a City Lord.

Teaching assistants might not necessarily listen to her, but what if two super-large clubs, the Witch’s Secret Realm Club and Wan Shi Wu, support her?

Then their rules are the rules!

Just don’t know if they have such ambition, but the general idea should be about the same.

After all, doing anything requires a nominal justification.

And Ninglan Qiuyue probably also wants to use this method to bind them with the benefits they all want, obtaining weight for Ninglan New City to speak in this event.

In the subsequent conversation, I also gradually understood.

They used the relationship between Ninglan Qiuyue and me to invite me for a talk, thinking to hook up with me through Ninglan Qiuyue, ease the conflict, and incidentally try to understand my situation.

Because my existence is the biggest uncertainty for them.

Ultimately, my conversation with Ninglan Qiuyue was mostly inconsequential, but I chatted about many things with the two teaching assistants.

However... I really dislike chatting with these two guys.

Chatting with them is very tiring.

Every sentence is rich in value and traps, aiming to know more things they don’t know from the other party’s mouth.

Ninglan Qiuyue doesn’t know much, so naturally, she didn’t speak much.

Since Ninglan Qiuyue tacitly allowed this method on the side, then I naturally wouldn’t be polite with them either.

Since they use Ninglan New City’s intelligence as chips for exchange, I naturally will also give back equivalent information.

Ultimately, they learned some things they wanted to know from me, but things that didn’t affect me much, such as how I learned the language of that world, what that world was originally like, and questions of this sort.

And I also learned a piece of intelligence from them that exceeded my expectations.

Ninglan New City had already conducted external exploration during the period before we arrived.

Originally, there were no people around Ninglan New City.

Some of those refugees were encountered by Ninglan New City during long-distance exploration.

Truly exposing their own position and then inviting trouble.

But they can’t be blamed for this.

After all, it’s their first time encountering such a situation.

Witches wouldn’t care about such things.

Even if they did, they would probably just let those people enter the Soul-substance cycle of the Earth Vein.

Of course, what exceeded my expectations wasn’t these, nor the mapping of Transcendent crystal mines and surrounding maps discovered and marked by Ninglan New City.

But that the outside world still retains the ”legacy” of that world.

Man-made creations still have a part retained, such as tall buildings, infrastructure, and those plants famous for plant technology.

Countless plant root systems were churned up, and continued to take root because of the plants’ tenacious vitality.

All man-made creations collapsed on the ground like building blocks; very few houses remain habitable.

But supplies that allow people to survive have also been retained.

They need to complete the reconstruction of civilization, the activation of infrastructure, and self-supply of food before those supplies run out.

This is the current situation that the people of that small world need to face.

And what I care about more is... among these retained ”infrastructure legacies,” one thing caught my attention very much.

That is... the Myriad Connection Main Network Tree!

According to their description, they discovered such a plant during exploration, a huge tree, very spectacular.

Right not far from Ninglan New City.

I have great confidence to determine that it should be the Myriad Connection Main Network Tree.

If the Myriad Connection Main Network Tree was also retained, then the repaired Expansion Realm will likely complete reconnection through the Myriad Connection Main Network Tree.

The foundation for the civilization’s information communication can thus be retained.

The reason I care so much about the Myriad Connection Main Network Tree is naturally because this thing is closely related to my Great Tree of Knowledge.

As I gradually perfect the Great Tree of Knowledge, I even had a fleeting thought... that is to incorporate this ”Plant Network” like the Myriad Connection Main Network Tree into my system.

This is a communication channel and network for a small world’s civilization!

For the perfection of the Great Tree of Knowledge, it is definitely faster than spreading Seeds of Great Knowledge in the Witch Academy.

This is not a question of whether the quality of acquired knowledge is good or not, but a question of integration with a massive amount of information.

The most precious thing is naturally ”experience”.

But before that, these people must be ”fed” first, otherwise, people crazed by hunger might even gnaw on the Myriad Connection Main Network Tree?

They went back to pre-liberation overnight.

The environment they need to face at this moment forces them to face a fact, that is, they haven’t broken away from material needs.

Before solving the problem of food and clothing, naturally, there is no way to talk about self-satisfaction of the spiritual world.

However, there is another point... going from luxury to frugality is hard.

This is also the source of motivation for their urgent desire to rebuild a civilized society.

Coupled with the legacy and infrastructure left by the original world, I believe all this won’t take long.

Perhaps this is like a disaster relief affecting the whole world.

After passing the basic food and clothing stage, what they need is to do it themselves and complete the reconstruction of their homeland.

”Speaking until now, wonder what you think, Little Han?”

”Still the same sentence. I have my own things to do. Don’t hinder me, and I naturally won’t be your hindrance.”

”Then regarding the cooperation...”

”I can consider it when I’m free, but I estimate it will be limited to cooperation on certain matters.”

I shrugged, appearing somewhat impervious, but they were helpless.

”I remember Little Han, you shouldn’t want nothing, right? This world is just like this. With money, one can do many things. Even Soul Crystals can be money. Relying solely on your own strength makes it hard to obtain a lot. Perhaps you should learn to rely on the power of the group.”

”Un, I indeed need Soul Crystals very much. You also know what Soul Crystals are used for, so naturally you understand this is not my rigid demand.”

I said with a smile, looking unconcerned and unmoved by those Soul Crystals, then continued to speak.

”I like unknown things very much, such as that big tree you mentioned earlier. Nature cannot birth such a big tree, let alone in a civilized society. I will go take a look later.”

I revealed the concept of ”plant technology” of that civilization to them, but didn’t explain the concept of the Myriad Connection Main Network Tree.

Leaving them space for reverie is enough; not everything needs to be explained clearly to them.

Because I am not on the same path as them.

Although they mocked those people’s bandit behavior earlier, aren’t they the same themselves?

Isn’t so-called cooperation just to better carve up those resources?

They are also very greedy for these resources.

What they despise are just those idiots who go grab resources without using their brains, not despising that they are bandits.

These Transcendent resources are very scarce in the Main World, so naturally, they are even more precious.

The Main World hasn’t been turbulent for a long time, so naturally, there won’t be such rich resource accumulation as the Three Source Elements of the World.

They are mostly integrated into the world itself.

Since the paths are different, non-interference is the greatest result of this negotiation.

However... even if we aren’t on the same path, that only means we can’t walk on the same road, not that we can’t cooperate temporarily.

Just as they said, I indeed need Soul Crystals.

This seems to have become their consensus because among the teaching assistant group, only my life level is lacking.

But life level, aside from being a necessary condition for advancing to Transcendent, is merely icing on the cake for me.

If they think grasping Soul Crystals means grasping me, that would be a huge joke.
