Chapter 522: Chapter 483: Undercover

Peggy’s body surface shimmered with a flowing pale blue radiance, as seals of “Sealing Witchcraft” automatically surfaced.

Each seal, leaping out with symbols of magic peculiar to Witches, emerged on Peggy’s limbs, torso, and even her head, like bubbles rising to the surface of water, gently shattering under everyone’s gaze.

“The seals left by the Merada Witches are dissipating on their own, indicating that skills such as energy attacks and combat forms within Peggy are being reactivated. If it came to a life-or-death fight, aside from the Netherworld Banshee backing Nidya, there are probably few children who could best her.”

“However…”

As Tang Qi internally assessed the situation, his gaze inadvertently fell upon the replaced “Energy Gems.” Following the explosion of several unfamiliar Information Fragments, his brows immediately furrowed.

“The mysterious creature that modified Peggy defined her as a defective product, hence it used an energy source in its decline. Could this mean there are other defects within Peggy? Did the modifier leave any marks or loopholes?”

A shade of concern surfaced deep within Tang Qi’s eyes.

In the “User Manual” for the Titanic Stone, there was some mechanical knowledge, and he had consulted numerous books, but in this field, Tang Qi was by no means an expert—not even close—just somewhat informed.

If the mysterious creature that had modified Peggy really left something behind, it would be difficult for Tang Qi to detect.

Perhaps he should seek out the Ancient Castle Bureau, Investigation Bureau, or even the World Tree Foundation to see if there was a “Mechanical Creation Expert” who could conduct a thorough examination of Peggy.

“On the surface, the current Peggy not only seems to have no issues but is also exceedingly powerful.”

Tang Qi concealed the worry in his eyes, waved his hand to remove the magic shield from the stone pillar, and Noah, Shay, and Nidya among the other students swiftly flew over.

He handed Peggy the triangular iron plate, engraved with the usage and prohibitions. The “Titanic Stone” was a pure energy source, but after all, it had caused an Exotic Realm planet to deplete; some prohibitions still needed to be respected, and there was also a chance for Peggy to acquire some new abilities.

He then cheerfully agreed to treat the students to a celebration in a few days and nodded to Eva before leaving the Isolation Zone.

Before heading back to the Library Tower, Tang Qi made a trip to Selma’s “New Laboratory.”

He planned to design a new type of Secret Medicine specifically for the “Hannahs” to address the weird and severe burns on the ten little girls. After obtaining the “Ancient Maya Medical Records,” he had a fair amount of confidence in the formula he had deduced.

But the scene of Selma quickly cultivating the Ancestor Fruit proved that in this area, this girl with a prestigious family background could wield even more strength than Tang Qi.

It made no sense not to involve Selma, who could increase the success rate.

The Ancestor Fruit, taken from the head of the “Red Sound Bird,” harboring the trait of “Rebirth,” was an excellent starting point.

Selma was extremely professional when it came to Extraordinary Plants.

He immediately silenced the “Big Mouth Pitcher Plant” that attempted to crack dirty jokes once more; the two briefly agreed on a few plans, with Selma stepping into actual operation.

After Tang Qi left the laboratory and returned to his own residence, most of the night had passed.

Come morning, Tang Qi stepped out from the entrance of his abode.

He exhaled deeply and then lay back directly onto the soft sofa in front of him, admiring the sunrise over Green Dragon Ridge Lake outside Dragon Heart Castle through the transparent floor-to-ceiling window.

Rich, warm, deep yellow sunlight rose from the far end of the lake, casting down over the vast, peaceful expanse of Green Dragon Ridge Lake, cool and verdant, like an Illusion Realm out of legend, instantly bringing one’s mind to a state of peace.

“Witches really know how to pick their land, far better than the stiffness of the Ancient Castle Bureau.”

“Hmm, should I have a proper breakfast? Speaking of which, I haven’t tasted Courtney’s cooking yet; I wonder how it compares to my culinary skills? You should know I am a man who has inherited the legacy of an Extraordinary Chef, complete with a chef’s knife Curio.”

No sooner had he thought it than Tang Qi murmured and transmitted an order to his personal Puppet servant.

Before long, rarely exercising his “Principal’s Privilege,” Tang Qi observed the lavish spread before him seriously. In addition to bread, smoked meat, scrambled eggs, and other popular Extraordinary breakfast dishes from the Federation, this time he was also surprised to see one or two dishes from the Eternal Heaven Dynasty.

Like a plate of “Golden Fried Rice” and “Magic Soy Milk.”

Savoy was right; his first love was indeed a very powerful Extraordinary Chef.

In addition to the specialty dishes of the Eternal Heaven Dynasty, there were also dishes from other regions of Origin Blue Star, clearly to accommodate students or faculty from other areas within the school. There weren’t many, but they were certainly there, such as Professor Selma.

Amidst the beautiful sunrise, Tang Qi, Gluttony, Night Beast, and Little Fairy began scrambling for food in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows.

“Compared to the chaos and killing on the Mysterious Side of the outside world, the school really is a Pure Land that makes one eager to fall into laziness.”

Tang Qi watched the little ones frolicking and couldn’t help but sigh.

Here, “falling” obviously meant the desire to be lazy.

If not for the constant “sense of urgency” in his heart, Tang Qi might have really turned toward becoming a “Salted Fish Principal.”

Taking advantage of breakfast time, after being a salted fish for an hour, Tang Qi finally remembered another matter he had to attend to.

“Gluttony!”

A thought transmitted out.

Instantly, Gluttony, amidst its busy schedule, spat out two things at Tang Qi: an unremarkable badge and a familiar Fruit.

The former was the later modified “One-way Iron Plate,” which had been altered from one-way to two-way. It is the equivalent of a “phone” on the Mysterious Side, many Extraordinary Organizations or powerful individuals have similar means of communication.

The latter, however, was the true purpose of Tang Qi’s adventure to the Southern Continent.

It was something he obtained before the real start of his adventure.

Rubber Man Secret Medicine!

Unlike most other Extraordinary Secret Medicines, it is not a Potion form, but a fist-sized pill covered in dark golden network patterns, also giving off a faint stench, within which an amazing Extraordinary Aura is brewing.

Tang Qi reached out and took the two items, playing with the pill while using the “Sun Badge” to communicate with another familiar will on the other end.

There were many who could communicate with Tang Qi via badge, but at this moment, the one he was looking for was his only subordinate “kept” in Messer City, McGraw.

Like Professor Selma, Professor Eva, and others, nominally under Tang Qi, were actually equals. Only McGraw who, after taking the Ancient Mongolian Secret Medicine, fully immersed himself in the role as Tang Qi’s subordinate.

While still in Messer City, in order to trap and kill “the Samra family,” Tang Qi let McGraw conduct deception with that pair of chunky sisters, and later sent McGraw to look for the descendants of Mad Wizard Ralph.

McGraw did quite well in both tasks.

However, later as Tang Qi’s strength grew too fast, McGraw could not keep up, and was left in Messer City for training, taking over Tang Qi’s role as “Police Station Consultant.”

Every now and then, Tang Qi would also see McGraw’s name in some Extraordinary class publications, proving that he was doing well.

In the Chituaga Tribe, as Tang Qi successfully broke through the “apprentice” Realm and concocted the Rubber Man Secret Medicine, he thought about how to deal with it.

“I have many pathways for advancement, Melter Wizard can proceed cautiously, Ralph Witchcraft is very important. Besides, there are Chaga Fighting Technique, Casting Skill, Secret Medicine Master… Plus things like Diana and Kels’ Eye that allow me to glimpse Divinity, Rubber Man Secret Medicine seems quite superfluous to me.”

“However, it’s just right for McGraw.”

With a single thought, Tang Qi had already sensed McGraw’s State on the other end.

“Hm?”

Almost immediately, surprise flashed in Tang Qi’s eyes.

He had originally thought that McGraw would be leading a leisurely consultant life in Messer City, similar to his own past.

But now, the situation McGraw was in was clearly not like that.

“Are you saying you’re undercover in a Cult Organization?”

Tang Qi’s brow raised, subconsciously judging his only subordinate:

“Young man, you’re courting death!”
