Me and my fantasy world

In the Awakening Hall, two emcees fell to the ground in embarrassment, then slowly stood up while holding their temples.

Zero-One was pressing on Alice, with an object clenched in his right hand, while Leo was lying beside Zero-One. The three of them were gasping for breath, staring blankly at the transparent stone pillar in front of them.

"Success... or not..." Leo said with a heavy breath.

"Well, huh..." Lingyi swallowed to calm himself down, and suddenly realized that he seemed to be in a warm embrace, with a soft ball stuck on his shoulder blade. He immediately realized that Alice was still pressing on him, and hurriedly said, "Alice! Alice, how are you? Are you hurt?"

Lingyi got up in a panic and helped Alice up. Alice was also panting weakly. Lingyi helped her upper body up and she leaned on Lingyi's thighs, trying to say, "No, it's okay. I'm just a little tired. It's okay."

Lingyi took Alice's pulse and found that she was fine overall. She was just a little tired. She should be fine after a short rest. So he looked at Leo on the other side and said, "Where's Leo? How are you?"

"It's okay. I'm not in any serious trouble." Leo said. After taking a deep breath or two, he slowly stood up with his knees supported. He looked at Lingyi's palm and asked, "Did you bring anything out?"

"Yes, this." Lingyi opened his palm without hesitation, revealing the skull mask inside.

The evil breath had a slight fishy smell, which made Leo and Alice a little unbearable: "What is this? It smells so strong." Leo asked, pinching his nose.

"Mask of Trafai, have you forgotten why I was expelled by the Envoy five years ago?" Zero One reminded.

"Is this it? Why is there still one?" Leo thought of it immediately after Zero One's reminder, and looked at the mask in Zero One's hand angrily.

"I'm not sure, but it's still a material with relatively high research value, which is exactly what I need." Lingyi said as he put the mask into his bracelet.

"Xueyan, what's going on with that '0'?" Alice pointed at the transparent stone pillar blankly.

"0? What is that?" Zero One followed Alice's finger and looked at the stone pillar.

At this time, the stone pillar has turned transparent as a whole, but unlike last time, the number displayed on it is "0".

Lingyi stared at the result in a daze. After seeing it, Leo immediately questioned: "Level? Level 0? How is it possible? After the levels are opened, isn't the lowest level 1?" Leo said, glaring at the emcees who were still adjusting their skirts on the side.

An emcee looked at the result on the stone pillar and felt unbelievable, but after a moment, he obeyed the will of the stone pillar, raised a stone slab in his hand, placed the stone slab flat on his forearms, and placed it in front of the stone pillar.

The number 0 seemed to be attracted by the stone pillar and instantly turned into a ball of white light, falling from the sky and rushing into the stone slab. The transparent stone pillar instantly turned back into pitch black, and as the white light entered the stone slab, the stone slab also displayed Zero One's personal information, which then turned around and read out.

It was at this moment that Lingyi remembered that this information was Lingyi's real information. Xueyan's pseudonym was also due to the fact that there were no identity cards or other items to indicate identity in this world, so he could fool around at will. However, his real name would appear on the stone slab. What if...

"Xue Yan, level 0, no attribute abilities, casting..." The emcee read out the contents on the stone slab, but Ling Yi looked at him in confusion.

"Ah? I, I didn't hear it wrong." Lingyi asked in confusion.

"We can't do anything about your level 0. After all, it's not our decision. But you are very talented and have great room for improvement. We will talk to the envoy and ask you to come to our Royal Adventure Academy. It will also be convenient for us to understand what happened to you." The emcee politely extended an olive branch to Lingyi, inviting him to come to the academy.

However, Zero One looked at the emcee and did not agree immediately. He was mainly surprised that his name was not shown on the stone slab but he had just given himself a pseudonym. Zero One did not care about the level 0 result.

"Thank you for your kindness, but I have other goals and requirements for myself." Lingyi politely returned the greeting, and the host nodded slightly to show his understanding.

"That's a good idea young man. See you later. Who will be the next one?" The emcee looked at the three people and asked again.

"Let me do it." Leo was eager to give it a try. "Alice is still a little weak. Zero One, please help take care of her. I'll do it as soon as possible."

"Okay, I got it." Lingyi said. Alice had recovered some strength. Although she needed Lingyi's support, she was still able to stand up and carefully took a few steps back.

After seeing everyone leave, Leo also imitated Lingyi's posture, closed his eyes and exhaled deeply, then suddenly inhaled, his eyes widened, and a strong electric current surged from Leo's whole body, wrapping around Leo's body and flowing to Leo's left hand, pressing his left hand forward and pressing it on the stone pillar.

In an instant, the electric current continued to rise along the pitch-black stone pillar and condensed into circles of electric current network around the stone pillar. These electric currents were not sucked into the stone pillar at first, but floated outside the stone pillar.

Compared to when Leo unlocked the level himself before, the stone pillar at that time was more like a glutton, constantly devouring his own magic power. Even if he input all his magic power and was almost fainted, the stone pillar still did not react at all, and only stayed at the ordinary purple stone pillar interface, without displaying any numbers.

And now, after Leo pressed his palm on the stone pillar, purple electric current instantly climbed to various positions of the stone pillar, forming circles of electric grids that surrounded the stone pillar, and did not swallow it up immediately. The stone pillar also changed to purple the moment Leo touched it, and the speed of the change was so fast that the two emcees could not react to when the change occurred.

After a moment, Leo saw that the electric current was lingering outside the stone pillar and had no intention of invading, so he increased the strength again and forced the electric current lingering outside into the stone pillar.

The electric grid gathered in circles from the air and flowed into the stone pillars. Suddenly, Leo felt an illusion of sudden enlightenment deeply imprinted in his mind. The illusion was like opening the cap of a bottle full of water. The magic power in his body increased several times in an instant, and he could use it more smoothly.

Looking up at the stone pillar, I saw a number "1" appearing on it. It was the number "1"!

The scene of the appearance of that number frequently appeared in Leo's dreams. When he really saw it, he felt unbelievable. He involuntarily stepped back slowly, with his arms falling naturally, and not sticking to the stone pillar.

"Zero, Zero One...Zero One! Have I unlocked the level?" Leo exclaimed, confirming with Zero One behind him.

"It looks like it should be." Lingyi smiled, and suddenly a halo burst out from the stone pillar, accompanied by the unique crackling sound of electric current, spreading around the entire hall.

"What's going on? This..." Leo was startled by the sound, but when he turned around, he found that the original number "1" had turned into the number "2", and then a circle of electric current was absorbed by the stone pillar again, and another circle of electric current halo exploded, and the number on it actually rose to "3".

"It's, it's rising...it's rising, Zero One!" Leo hooked Zero One's shoulder excitedly.

"I saw it, I saw it. Be careful of Alice." Lingyi was also happy with Leo. Alice on the side was almost recovered. As there was no one around at the moment and the two emcees' attention was on Leo, Xiaojiu quietly crawled out from Lingyi's neck and released the fairy technique to restore Alice's magic power, which was why Alice was able to recover so quickly.

Alice also smiled with her face covered, but a tear flashed in the corner of her eye: "Hahaha, yes, yes, it worked Leo."

The two emcees were also staring at the stone pillar in a daze. They had seen the level detection or level unlocking situations several times, but never seen such a situation. Generally speaking, the numbers displayed on it would remain unchanged, and only when the adventurer came here for the second test would there be any changes.

Circles of electric current merged into the stone pillar, and the numbers on the pillar continued to rise, all the way to the number "19", which made the two emcees gasp.

"Level 19? A child? The peak level of the first level, this is a level that only an adult in his thirties or forties can reach." The host stared at the "19" in the sky in surprise.

"I didn't expect this kid to be so strong. Why didn't I have any impression of him before? He looks like a student of the academy." Another emcee looked at Leo puzzled.

Their conversation seemed to be heard by Leo, who immediately stood up straight, looked at the two emcees in front of him and said, "Yes, I am a first-level work-study student at the Royal Adventure Academy, Leo."

"Work-study student? Level 1 at that?" the emcee exclaimed.

"With your strength, you can obviously skip to the intermediate level of training. After level 20, that is, breaking through two levels, you can enter the advanced class and go directly to the capital to train." Another emcee also exclaimed.

"Yes, is that so, hahaha." Leo was like a shy child. He was a little uncomfortable after being praised and scratched his head shyly.

"Oh my god, the impact you two have brought is too great. What about the girls? Are they here to unlock levels as well?" an emcee asked. Another emcee had already pulled out a stone tablet and walked in front of the stone pillar. The bright purple number "19" on it slowly fell down and merged into the stone tablet. The stone pillar also turned back to its pitch-black appearance.

Alice saw the host asking and bowed politely in return, "Yes, I'm here to open the level as well."

"Well, you're the next one." As the MC was speaking, another MC came over carrying a slate.

"Leo, level 19, elemental ability, lightning element." The emcee read the slate in his hand and said with a smile, "Congratulations, you will be a qualified adventurer next, and a powerful one at that."

"Okay!" Leo jumped up excitedly and threw himself on Lingyi, "Xueyan! Xueyan, if it weren't for you and me, I wouldn't be able to successfully unlock the level."

"Hahaha, I know, I know. Wait a moment, wait a moment, and see how Alice is doing. Then we'll go to the academy together." Lingyi patted Leo's back to comfort him, and Leo got off Lingyi's body.

Alice wiped her eyes and patted Leo on the back: "Okay, why are you crying like a grown man? Wait for me." Alice saw that Leo and Zero One had both activated their magic powers. She was extremely excited and hurried towards the stone pillar.

"Okay, good luck to Alice too." Leo also wiped his eyes, but it was not particularly obvious. He stood side by side with Zero One, watching Alice jog to the stone pillar.

Excitement, excitement, nervousness, all kinds of emotions entangled in Alice's mind. All the doubts and slanders in the past five years were finally broken at this moment today. If Leo can break through, then she can't fall behind. After all, she is the most talented one among the three, she should set an example for them!

Alice thought to herself, and imitated Lingyi's posture, closed her eyes, and exhaled a long breath. The moment she opened her eyes, a strong emerald green magic power was released from around Alice's body, like a gentle breeze. She could feel its sharpness, but also its gentleness.

Alice did not press her arms on the stone pillar as forcefully as Leo and Zero-One did. Instead, she clasped her fingers together, clenched her fists in front of her chest, prayed slowly for a moment, then stretched out her right hand and gently placed it on the stone pillar.
