Chapter 423: Chapter 268: The Social Bandits of Phoenix City_3

The summoned tree-man that had turned into black magic was now named the ’Summoned War Tree’.

Mu You came into the area and tried out its effects.

As he lifted his magic wand and released magic to a large tree in front of him, the tree instantly disappeared and transformed into a tree-man over five meters tall.

The tree-man was draped in wooden armor, with a wooden hammer in one of his huge and robust palms and a wooden shield in the other, looking mighty and domineering.

[War Tree: Attack power 80-95, Defensive power 240, HP 15000. Abilities: Shield Defense, Tree Eating, Take Root.]

This tree-man’s attributes were quite high, especially in defence. It had HP of fifteen thousand, over two hundred defence, and a dedicated shield defense skill, making it quite resilient.

Its remaining two abilities were Tree Eating, which allowed it to pluck and eat surrounding trees to restore its own life, and Take Root, which allowed it to give up mobility, take root, and double all its attributes. That meant near 500 defense and thirty thousand HP, something that makes it incredibly tough.

Of course, the downside was glaring: it was too slow.

Its moving speed was much faster than the little tree-man before, but it was still only as fast as a walking man. In a fight, it could only serve as a meat shield for the advancing team.

With the creation of the card drawn to a close, it was daybreak, and Mu You stayed awake all night.

But he had no time to rest, as visitors were waiting outside the door. Little Ya and Lin Xue were already in the shop.

The three quickly cleaned up the zoo to prepare for business operation.

Close to eight o’clock, Mu You logged into the game again.

By this time, the training in the Arcane Hall was already completed. Mu You teleported his character back to the academy and clicked on ’Campus Convenience Store’.

[You have arrived at the campus convenience store.]

[Today’s goods available at the convenience store are...]

The goods in the convenience store refreshed once a week. Today was Tuesday and the goods have already been refreshed.

Scanning quickly over the goods list, Mu You swept all the pages of insights from the cabinet onto himself.

[You purchased ’Life System Intermediate Insight Page’ *1, ’Thunder System Intermediate Insight Page’ *1, ’Light System High Grade Insight Page’ *1, Red Rose Medal -45, remaining medals: 43.]

The pages of this convenience store seem to be limited to selling three types each week. This week, three new pages were added to his collection, plus the ones accumulated before, he now had nine pages: all of the Life System, the Intermediate and High Grade of Thunder System, the Low and High Grade of Light System, and the High Grade of Wind and Water Systems.

Among them, he had assembled all of the Low, Intermediate, and High Grade pages of the Life System!

On the spot, Mu You upgraded all four Life System spells: Life Draining, Unceasing Trick, Wooden Clone and Summon Tree-man, to LV5.

After buying the pages, Mu You looked around the rest of the goods and found something that he had not seen last week.

[Ticket for Professor Gran’s Welcome Party: Famous Space-Time Magic prodigy Granmote, once graduated from Red Rose Academy, is honored to return to his old home today. He will host a welcome party at the main hall of the academy where he’ll share his fun adventures during his travels, as well as his understanding of the classic Space-Time Spell ’Teleport’. Time: 8:00-10:00. Everyone is welcome to attend. Ticket price: 100 years of life or 50 Red Rose Medals. Remaining tickets: 5.]

It looks like a fan meeting for Professor Gran, a sort of idol event.

Mu You didn’t have the slightest interest in these otherworldly celebrities, but it seems like this professor was going to teach a space-time spell.

Teleport, it seems to be a high-level space system spell!

Mu You remembered reading the explanation of this spell on a forum before. After casting, it allowed instant position swapping with a living entity within line of sight, a handy and rare spell. As space-time spells were the hardest to learn, very few wizards could teach them and even fewer spell scrolls were available on the market.

Stumbling upon such a precious spell, Mu You definitely couldn’t miss it.

The welcome party only lasts for two hours. It definitely won’t increase much progress, but as long as he can learn the basics, he can ask Jing Moniang for remedial classes later. With his top-tier space-time talent, he could learn it in a few days.

There were only five tickets left, it seemed quite popular, so Mu You quickly bought one.

[You bought a ticket to Master Granmote’s welcoming party, Red Rose Medal -43, lifespan -14 years.]

All the medals were swept clean and he even lost quite a bit of his lifespan. It seemed like he would have to be more proactive in fighting in the duel field to avoid missing any important items in the future.

[You come to the large auditorium at the center of the academy.]

[You show the ticket and are allowed in by the guard at the door.]

[You enter the auditorium and find your seat in the last row.]

[At this moment, in the huge auditorium, almost all of the 3,202 tiered seats are already filled. In the center of the circular seats, a young wizard in a gorgeous suit has already started his lecture.]

[Young Master Granmote, with his witty eloquence, draws bursts of laughter and applause from the audience. From time to time, there are also female wizards with love-struck eyes screaming.]

[You also laugh heartily at the master’s speech and clap with the crowd.]

"..."

Looking at the text prompt, Mu You was left speechless for a while. Who the hell is clapping? Who came to listen to you talk? Can we get down to business?

Having no choice as the lecture began, Mu You had to go and open the doors for business, maintaining order and allowing tourists to enter in an orderly manner.

As usual, Lin Xue was in charge of checking the tickets, Little Ya was leading the tourists around, and also responsible for the explanation. The rest of the work was done by robots and monitoring systems.

After the flow of visitors had settled down, Mu You took a break from his busy schedule and moved a chair to sit next to the Civet’s nest.

The two Civets were new animals introduced today, and Mu You didn’t rush to bring out the Color-changing Giant Snail and Divining Bird. The exhibition of animals also needed to be gradual in order to maintain popularity over a long period.

Civets can be somewhat dangerous, they would attack anyone with ill intentions, and who can definitively say who is good or evil? So Mu You intentionally sat next to the two cats, to prevent any reckless tourists from getting hurt by them.

"The kittens are shy, currently no petting is allowed, thank you for your cooperation!"

Mu You turned down several girls who were attracted by the appearance of the Civets.

The visitors were quite understanding. Seeing Mu You personally guarding there, they realized this might be a dangerous animal and didn’t approach directly. They took a few photos from a distance and then walked away.

Watching the visitors come and go, the two kittens in the nest were nervous at first, but after a while, they gradually settled down, curling up together and falling asleep.

Seeing the kittens like this, Mu You sighed in relief. Speaking of which, he had been grinding monsters non-stop since yesterday, and didn’t sleep last night, and he was quite exhausted. Once he saw them sleeping, he couldn’t help but close his eyes and take a nap.

However, he suddenly woke up after a while, turned his head, and saw that a little girl had somehow appeared in front of the cat’s nest.

She was a girl of only seven or eight years old, with bright and shiny teeth, a butterfly hairpin on her head, wearing a kimono, white socks and wooden clogs. She was standing next to the cat’s nest, looking curiously at the two Civets.

Mu You was shocked. When did this girl appear?

Although he was dozing off, he wasn’t really asleep, just relaxing.

How could he not have noticed a living person walking right up to him?

What was even more incredible was that the girl was now petting the civet’s head with her hand, and the civet not only didn’t resist at all, but seemed to be enjoying it, purring contentedly and rubbing against the girl’s hand.
