Chapter 509: Chapter 476 Sweet Magic Newspaper (Revised)

Although not accustomed to the scene before him, Tang Qi did not resist too much since he felt no danger and due to his connection with Savoy. Under the sympathetic yet amused gazes of the other five, he was hugged tightly.

Now he somewhat understood why Savoy had placed ‘unreliable’ ahead of ‘powerful’ when describing this friend.

Tang Qi did not use his “Special Ability” to observe Shuter, but merely through his own senses, he could judge that this unattractive young man called Shuter, who seemed to have the Profession of “Death Servant,” indeed had immeasurable strength.

Without employing “Diana,” Tang Qi wasn’t even sure he could definitely defeat him.

However, compared to his eccentric style, whether his combat capabilities were strong seemed much less important.

From the expressions of Reina and the other four who were familiar with this place, it was clear they all knew very well about Shuter’s style—the person in charge of the largest Extraordinary Market in Sweet Water City was such a character.

Fortunately, Shuter soon let go of Tang Qi.

However, it was because he had other important things to do.

The guy quickly pulled out a notebook from his chest, summoned a quill, then bent down and started writing rapidly.

While writing, he did not forget to read it out loud.

“Divine Eagle New Calendar, September 28th, the great and interesting Death Servant, adored by thousands of young men and women, the handsome Mr. Shuter finally met one of his idols, Tang Qi, Principal from Secret Phoenix City. This will be a historical meeting that countless wandering Singers will chant and sing about…”

Such embarrassingly cringeworthy words popped out from Shuter’s mouth.

Seeing his serious demeanor, it was clear he truly wrote that.

Reina Swinton and the other four shifted their attention from the performance below to the spectacle in front of them. Even though the “Universal Piano” was playing on its own, chasing the young girls’ lickers, the performance was forceful and splendid. But it paled in comparison to the current hilarious scene.

While jotting down his cringeworthy diary, Shuter launched a brief interview with his “idol.”

But every question that came out of his mouth left Tang Qi somewhat speechless.

“Idol, did Savoy grow more arms again? I really envy the guy, having so many hands, it must be so convenient for that sort of thing.”

The first question, though slightly off-topic at the end, was still a show of concern for a friend, and Tang Qi nodded in response, then ignored him muttering things like “eight arms, eight times the happiness, so envious.”

Subsequent questions like “How happy is it to be a Witch Principal?” “Can I switch jobs to become the deputy principal?” “Were you really forcibly kissed before?”… Tang Qi dodged them all.

According to this guy, this notebook would be his family heirloom, through which he would prove to his descendants how great their ancestor was. Tang Qi didn’t want to see his gossip being passed down forever if he didn’t answer properly and was recorded in it.

This exceptionally “lengthy” conversation between an idol and a brain-dead fan finally ended when a Ghost Bride brought in a freshly printed newspaper.

The most circulated paper on the Mysterious Side of Sweet Water City, the “Sweet Magic Newspaper.”

The headline appeared and made Tang Qi’s party’s pupils slightly contract. The front page featured six mysterious silhouettes, vaguely depicting five men and one woman, but their specific features and some key details were indiscernible.

Below was a line of words that could explode in the Southern Continent.

“Mysterious exploration team successfully excavates Ancient Maya Ruins, Watcher Volcano born again.”

“Ancient Maya!”

In the Southern Continent, within the radiation zone of the Yamada Jungle, these three words were tightly associated with eye-catching terms like “Divine” and “Treasure.”

Ever since the revival of the Mysterious Side, a large number of Transcendents gained powers unimaginable to ordinary people, and their exploration of the Ancient Maya never ceased.

Unfortunately, the Ancient Mayans were too powerful; they ruled a vast territory and left a large number of ruins.

The area inhabited by the Chituga Tribe was one of them.

Many Transcendents entered to perform various Divination, detection, and the like, but all returned without success.

All they knew was that there was a horribly frightening presence inside the holy land guarded by the Chituga Tribe, and even “Professional Level” Transcendents would quickly die upon entering.

Transcendents from the Southern Continent had originally thought that “secrets of the Ancient Mayans” would always remain hidden.

But unexpectedly, the sensational news had abruptly arrived.

And not only Shuter, but other Transcendents in the bar who had subscribed to the newspaper, each held a copy.

Soon, a great debate regarding the Ancient Maya Ruins began within the bar.

Among the most prevalent remarks quickly reached the ears of the party of six.

“The descendants of those invaders have always wanted to inherit from the Ancient Maya to prove that the position under their butts is the correct one. Unexpectedly, someone beat them to the punch, hahaha… What an enviable piece of good news.”

“Just wait and see, those Red Hat Dogs will definitely pursue relentlessly and won’t let those six lucky ones get away.”

“I wonder what exactly is in the ruins; could it be hiding secrets to becoming a Divine?”

“Thinking too much. If the Ancient Maya were really that powerful, how could they have mysteriously fallen? It would be more worthwhile to think about the Azte ruins. At the end of the Dark Era, when the invaders from the Old Continent tried to slaughter the natives, they successfully summoned a Divine.”

…

As the conversation started to deviate, a ray of Radiance suddenly flashed over the area where Tang Qi and his group were located, with an invisible fluctuation spilling out, seemingly creating an incredibly True “Fantasy.” Occasionally, Transcendents glanced over, but it was as if they couldn’t see them at all.

The newspaper only revealed the information of “five men and one woman.”

But at some moments, this information was enough.

As the Illusion appeared, Tang Qi looked towards Shuter.

At that moment, this off-key young man, seeing Tang Qi’s gaze, couldn’t help but waggle his eyebrows and show off a smug expression. He nodded silently after scanning over some kind of Spell covering the area, and then layered on an “Illusion Spell.”

No matter when, it’s never wrong to be careful.

After hearing the discussions of the Transcendents, there was no change on Tang Qi’s face, while Reina Swinton and Timothy frowned slightly, seemingly already contemplating how to handle the troubles that would follow. The three Puppet Masters, however, looked slightly troubled.

“The so-called Red Hat Dogs should refer to the official Extraordinary Institution of the Maya Empire; I’ve long heard that their reputation isn’t too good. Now it seems that it’s true.”

“Reina Swinton and Timothy should each have their own organizations, and with their own strengths being not bad, they are not too worried. Haisen also has a school of Extraordinary Warriors, but their school happens to belong to the Maya Empire, and they face the biggest trouble in dealing with it.”

“The Puppet Masters and Mamba Elder, from the previous interactions, seem to be lone Transcendents.”

“Well, in addition to the so-called Red Hats, some Transcendents who possess Special Ability Curios for Divination might also be unable to resist pursuing those who have acquired Maya inheritance.”

“Another unwritten rule of the Mysterious Side: For most expeditions to ruins, the day you leave the ruins with your findings might be the start of a great adventure.”

After several thoughts flashed by, Tang Qi looked up directly at Shuter.

Amid his somewhat astonished expression, Tang Qi nodded, his face showing regret, but his tone wasn’t regretful at all, “Shuter, it looks like it’s time for us to part ways. Do you need me to pass on greetings to Savoy for you?”

“Ah, parting ways? Idol, are you leaving so soon? Aren’t you supposed to wait for those Red Hat Dogs to come looking for trouble, and then use your powerful Demigod Slayer strength to smack those shameless guys in the face… But just when Idol displays his strength, the Red Hat Dogs will perform a shameless series of relentless attacks, eventually heavily injuring Idol.”

“At that moment, the great Shuter, the strongest and most stingy Death Servant, will stand up, defeat all the Red Hats with his powerful strength, save the Idol, and be rated by the Mysterious Daily Federation Chapter as the… Seventh New Star among the East Federation Six New Stars.”

“A perfect plan, just perfect, Idol, think about it?”

In the middle of Shuter’s speech, Tang Qi turned to face the five people led by Reina Swinton, and without much thought, gave each one a “Special Badge.”

The Badge is equivalent to Tang Qi’s business card from the Mysterious Side.

It also serves as an invitation; according to Tang Qi, if the five of them were willing, they could come to the Merada Special Education School for a guest lecture, which was a bit different than Selma and others, they were just guest lecturers with only one teaching opportunity.

As the school continues to grow, Tang Qi would keep raising the criteria for recruiting “teachers.”

Reina and the others were not displeased by this, as within the “Black Prophet,” the moment Tang Qi revealed Diana’s presence.

All five of them realized Tang Qi’s true Identity.

Before meeting with Tang Qi, any Transcendent could only learn about him through Transcendent publications like the “Mysterious Daily,” “Divine Eagle National Geography.”

Naturally, they were limited to “combat achievements.”

Unfortunately, in this regard, Tang Qi was just too Radiant.

Among the so-called “East Federation Six New Stars,” if we talk about combat achievements, Tang Qi is definitely at the forefront.

Even the most arrogant Reina and Timothy had to admit that in the Extraordinary World, if ranked by status Level, Tang Qi stood above the five of them.

As for the legendary “Witch School,” all five were curious as well – accepting the Badge and promising Tang Qi that if they had time, they would visit the school to teach the children.

After a brief exchange, the six were ready to go their separate ways.

Stay and fight with the Red Hats and other Transcendents?

This kind of thing, with nothing but disadvantages and not even a bit of benefit, even rookie Transcendents wouldn’t do.

Running away at the first opportunity after gaining a “Mysterious Artifact Inheritance” from the ruins is what qualifies one as a proper adventurer.
