Unknown Intrusion

Chapter 34 A Generous Gift (Bonus chapter for the Alliance Leader who loves reading)

"Mom, I'm back. The school gave me some new lessons, and I need to preview them. Don't bother me!" Su Yu said, and after a quick reply, she rushed to her room and locked the door.

The small room was bathed in golden sunlight, and everything in sight was tinged with a hazy golden light.

Even the lingering, faint smell of decay was quietly fading away.

Basking quietly in the sunlight and enjoying its warmth for a moment, Su Yu quickly drew the curtains shut.

He took the thick leather book from his pocket and carefully placed it on the desk, the iron chain wrapped around it.

Su Yu stared at it.

The book lay quietly on it, and when I reached out to touch it, it trembled slightly and opened in front of me.

The jet-black, inorganic mirror reflects the symbol in the shape of a water droplet.

It appears to be some kind of symbol.

As I waited quietly, the teardrop-shaped symbol slowly faded away, revealing a dense array of characters, including some in the national language, some in foreign languages, and many unfamiliar characters.

I quickly read a few lines; it was probably an introduction about the creator of this spell.

Su Yu could only guess and make inferences, and there were still large sections he couldn't understand.

"I can learn a foreign language in the future."

After noting this down, the scene finally darkened, and the mirror reflected the forest again. Sunlight streamed down from above, but was blocked by the dense canopy, making it appear deep and dim.

The middle-aged man was wearing a gray hooded jacket and carrying a kerosene lamp.

He was standing with his back to the mirror in the grassy area of ​​the woodland, with a stream flowing quietly beside him.

"Now, I will demonstrate the effect in person." A cold voice came from the mirror.

"【Blazing Beam】, 0 rings. Can strike evil spirits, expel evil, and has a purifying effect on dark forces."

"It is a general-purpose spell, suitable for most common professions."

"Of course, the premise is that you are not the kind of stupid barbarians I often see who think that spellcasting is just a matter of feeling."

"High-level spellcasting has always been a rigorous art, and it is completely incompatible with brute force."

"Hereby, I solemnly declare that not everyone can appreciate... the charm of the elements dancing freely with your fingertips."

He explained slowly, walking towards the dim light. Ahead was a tree, shrouded in gloom, with shadows flitting by and inexplicable laughter.

The middle-aged man remained unmoved and continued speaking.

"However, even barbarians, with my detailed explanation, still have a one in ten chance of mastering this technique."

"It only requires three years of basic learning."

"First, we need to mobilize positive energy and allow it to concentrate in an orderly manner."

With his movement, he pointed forward slightly, and visible ripples and folds appeared in the air ahead, before a ball of light suddenly appeared.

A ball of light, about the size of a ping-pong ball, floated in the air like a lantern.

"Positive energy is ubiquitous in nature, but to gather it requires a high level of perception."

"And you also need to have certain talents."

"If you cannot complete it yourself, you can also purchase our Positive Energy Activation Balls. Currently, our partner channels include the Golden Leaf Chamber of Commerce and the Qingxia Post Office..."

After a lengthy advertisement, the middle-aged man finally stopped.

"Note that positive energy is gentle. In a general sense, it is like sunlight. However, sunlight has a purifying effect on the dead and dark forces."

"That's too low. There must be an aggregation reaction effect. Please refer to the course for the specific equation."

"And it's not good to start too early, and it might explode if it's too late... It's the starting formula for Holy Light Flame, but it's not part of the basic course."

"Note that there is a technique here: to form a beam of light, not an explosion."

"The effective range is usually 10-15 meters." "Now, fire it!"

The sphere of light collapsed, emitting a white beam of light that instantly pierced through five or six meters, penetrating a large tree and leaving a hole the size of a bowl in its heart.

"Ah!" With a scream, the gray shadows vanished wherever the beam of light passed, leaving only grayish-white ashes scattered and some falling to the ground.

"The above is a complete demonstration of the spell's effects. Please remember that it is a beam of positive energy and also has an ignition effect. Do not use it to burn down forests or neighborhoods unless you have considered the consequences."

The video ends here; what follows is a long text and illustrative explanation.

"This is true magic!"

"Compared to what I've encountered before, these are really too basic! Too ordinary! They're practically magic tricks!"

Su Yu tried it out and found that the video was operable; he could pause, rewind, forward, zoom in and out, and show various details.

Furthermore, there is an appendix with a bibliography of recommended books and the names of relevant schools of thought.

Immersed in new knowledge, Su Yu unknowingly lost track of time.

"Xiaoyu, come down for dinner later. I'll leave some on the fireplace for you," her mother's voice came from outside.

"Okay, Mom." He looked up and replied, only then realizing with a start that the setting sun had already turned red, making the room somewhat dim.

"Finish."

The mirror dimmed, and then a white message appeared: "Reading time for this book is 284 hours and 54 minutes remaining."

Made by Sunshine Garden, all rights reserved. Counterfeiting will be prosecuted.

"It even includes reading time limits and patent rights—a magical world version of study materials?"

"It's just that the price is too high. 50 gold sea dragons is the price of the spell itself, and this complete set of teaching materials would probably cost several hundred gold sea dragons?"

He was a little unsure about the value of the book.

The Golden Sea Dragon and Silver Sea Demon have strong purchasing power. Just one Silver Sea Demon is enough for an average family of three to live a relatively comfortable life for a day.

Needless to say, Jin Hailong was also involved.

The world already has a printing industry, and ordinary books are very cheap; a poetry collection can be bought for 0.3 silver sirens.

However, textbooks and academic books immediately skyrocketed in price, with basic general knowledge books costing several silver siren's worth each one.

As for supernatural knowledge, no matter how basic, it's not a matter of money... Before his rebirth, Su Yu worked for a boss and had come into contact with quite a bit of it, but he didn't gain anything from it.

"This book is actually more valuable than available, but if we really want to calculate the price, is it four or five hundred gold sea dragons? Or even over a thousand gold sea dragons?"

"Miss Song... this gift is far too generous. How will you repay it?"

At first he didn't understand, but now holding this book, he feels it's burning hot. Su Yu's heart is heavy; this debt of gratitude is really putting him in a difficult position.

I want to go back, but I can't bear to.

I unconsciously stroked the cover; it seemed to be made of pressed parchment, and the material felt very nice.

"Forget it, I have a courtyard, and my future is bright. Why should I be afraid of not being able to repay it?"

"At worst, I'll get ten or a hundred times the return!"

“She’s the daughter of a baron. Ordinary people wouldn’t even be able to owe her a favor. Now I’m the one who has that right.”

He thought about it for a long time, but he still couldn't let go.

"Investigating the truth and changing fate are not inherently contradictory, but unfortunately I don't have enough time, so I can only be a little more intense... but that means there will inevitably be battles!"

"This magic is a godsend, relieving my immediate crisis!"

"We must not give up!"

Schools will certainly train students, but it will be done gradually; they won't directly teach such lethal magic.

Su Yu is deeply grateful for this generous gift!
