The card illusion.
Once Qing Yan left, Lilith was once again the only one in the illusion.
However, unlike the slight loss in the past, the girl was in a happy mood when she thought about the gift she was going to receive the next day. She walked out of the classroom with slight brisk steps.
After a day of teaching, it was time to grab a bite to eat.
She couldn’t feel hungry in the card and didn’t need to eat to maintain energy, but delicious food could give her mental strength.
Lilith opened the refrigerator. She looked at the few ingredients left in a worried manner.
Let’s eat less today.
The girl thought this but it was obvious that her expression had become a bit wilted.
Just then, she heard someone talking behind her.
“What’s delicious today?”
Lilith blinked and hurriedly turned around. Her eyes lit up when she saw the two figures standing at the door.
“Your Majesty Snow! Marshal Si Sheng!”
The girl called out to them happily. Then she closed the refrigerator, came to them and bowed gracefully.
Xu Sili couldn’t help smiling when he looked at Lilith, who was obviously much more alert.
Lilith had given him a lot of help. The previous experience of the other party was too pitiful. He still hoped to help her get out of this ‘cage’ as soon as possible.
“Get up. How have you been lately?”
Xu Sili lifted her up and said with a smile. “I’m quite busy these days and haven’t come to attend class. I’m sorry, Teacher Lilith.”
Then he glanced at Si Sheng.
The two of them seemed to have a telepathic connection. With just one look, Si Sheng understood what he meant. He gently raised his hand, and the cakes and desserts that Lilith had eaten in the cupboard appeared again.
Lilith’s eyes lit up again when she saw this scene. She couldn’t wait to run back to the refrigerator and open the door.
After seeing the refrigerator full of ingredients, the girl was so happy that she wanted to jump around twice on the spot. She looked at Xu Sili and Si Sheng before finally holding back.
She ran up to them again, lifted up her skirt and bowed solemnly to them.
“Thank you, Your Majesty Snow! Thank you, Marshal Si Sheng!”
Xu Sili waved his hand. “Don’t be so polite. You are my teacher. I naturally want to bring gifts when I come to see you.”
Speaking of gifts, Lilith thought of the red-haired woman just now. After she got up, she took out the voucher that Qing Yan had given her. “This is given to me by a brave called Qing Yan.”
Xu Sili nodded. This was something that he and Si Sheng had worked out.
Once the player reached the last mission, they would get two vouchers. One was to register with the academy teacher and the other was to carry with them.
The remaining part was bound. They could enter the card illusion only by bringing the voucher.
After entering the card illusion for the first time, the illusion would generate a corresponding voucher to facilitate Lilith confirming the identity of the visitor.
“How do you feel?” Xu Sili asked curiously.
Lilith thought for a while before commenting, “The talent is good, and she is also very polite. However, she isn’t tough enough and she isn’t as smart as Your Majesty.”
Xu Sili couldn’t help laughing after being praised suddenly. “Then do you want to keep her?”
If Lilith didn’t like a player, she only needed to destroy the voucher given to her by that player. Then the player would no longer be able to enter the card illusion world.
Xu Sili gave Lilith a lot of freedom when it came to teaching the card masters.
Lilith nodded. “Keep her here for observation. If she can complete the assessment in the end, I will continue to teach her.”
She hesitated before saying, “She said she would bring me a gift tomorrow, but… I am wondering how she can bring things into the illusion world?”
“You don’t have to worry about that,” Xu Sili said mysteriously while looking confident.
“In the future, if Si Sheng and I don’t come in time then you can ask them to bring you ingredients. If there is anything you want to eat or play, you can tell them and let them bring it in.”
Lilith frowned. “Wouldn’t this be bad?”
“There is nothing bad about it.”
Xu Sili said, “You are teaching them the extremely precious card inheritance. Isn’t it good for them to provide you with these insignificant little things?”
“If you really think about it, you are still at a loss.”
Lilith tilted her head to think about it. Finally, she felt that this was indeed the case.
“Yes, Your Majesty is right.”
She nodded while suddenly starting to look forward to the arrival of the braves.
Xu Sili looked at her and shook his head gently.
Perhaps it was because she had stayed in the card for too long, but she found that Lilith seemed a bit slow in aspects except for cards and eating.
He didn’t feel at all that he was teaching his children badly.
After all, players would soon get bored of things that weren’t difficult. Obstacles must be set up for them. Moreover, sometimes, the more miserable the NPC tortured them, the deeper they would love it.
It was because the more thought and energy they put into NPCs, the deeper their memories would naturally be.
However, Lilith shouldn’t abuse the players too badly. After all, this girl liked food the most.
In addition, players were precisely the group of people who knew how to eat the most.
Xu Sili wasn’t worried at all. He didn’t continue this topic, but instead discussed the questions and insights he had accumulated over the past few days with Lilith.
Lilith also tried her best to answer him.
In Xu Sili, she saw his potential to be a card master so she taught him more carefully than others.
Unknowingly, most of the day passed. Xu Sili saw Lilith’s fatigue, said goodbye with Si Sheng and left.
After he left the card illusion, he looked at his address book and saw that his second brother was online. His eyes lit up and he quickly sent the other person a message.
The reason why he was able to confidently say in front of Lilith that players could bring things into the illusion world was due to his second brother.
This was something he had discussed with his second brother before.
Recently, Starry Sky Age was gradually getting on the right track and experience stores were being added in a planned way. It might not be possible to sell game currency to make a profit, but the launch of many exquisite products in the system mall had effectively made up for this shortcoming.
Everything was getting better, so Xu Yuheng took some time off from his busy schedule to go online. As a result, he was about to go with Baifeng to check the situation of the base when he saw his brother’s private message.
Xu Yuheng was helpless. He couldn’t even play the game in peace! However, he still quickly went offline to handle this matter for his brother.
After all, Xu Sili being able to trouble him made him feel at ease and happy. This at least proved that Xiao Li was still living in this world and he was living well.
Xu Yuheng no longer had to live with the heavy guilt like he did in the past.
Most of the day had passed. Qing Yan left the Elementalist Academy and found the key members of the group to discuss countermeasures.
Everyone knew that she was going to change to a card master today. It could be said that Qing Yan being able to complete such a complicated mission so quickly was inseparable from the help of her team.
She selected the important points of the job transfer video recorded today and posted it on her team channel. Then she told everyone about the difficulty of the current task.
“The card master mentor is a girl called Lilith.”
“According to the information I learned at the academy, Lilith has been trapped in a card illusion for countless years. It is only when she teaches a card master that she can escape from the illusion.”
There were only a few words but the moment Qing Yan posted Lilith’s photo in the channel, it immediately sparked a heated discussion among her teammates.
“D*mn, this modeling is amazing!”
“She is so pretty, so beautiful and cute!”
“I think there will be another beautiful girl added to the Starry Sky character popularity list.”
Qing Yan’s head was pounding and she couldn’t help interrupting. “Is now the time to discuss this? If I can’t bring a cup of milk tea into the illusion world tomorrow, my job transfer mission will fail.”
“Everyone, help me come up with ideas!”
“How can we think about this? This is the first time the card illusion has appeared in the game. You are the only one among us who has entered it.”
“Yes, the time is so short. There is no time to collect clues and solutions.”
“Unless we let the dog planners take action, who can possibly find the correct strategy in less than 24 hours? This is an impossible task.”
Qing Yan couldn’t help being a bit angry when she heard their frustrating words, but even she couldn’t think of a good way.
She had also researched it at the academy and asked almost all the teachers and students she met. However, none of them knew how to bring things into the card illusion.
Everything they had was already there in the illusion world, even the pen and paper Qing Yan used to take notes.
What’s more, there was no way to bring out the notes she took. If she hadn’t recorded the video, she wouldn’t have been able to remember those knowledge points.
She finally understood why those students were writing quietly when she first entered the classroom. They were actually recalling the knowledge points in the classroom and writing them down silently while their memories were still clear!
Just as Qing Yan was about to go crazy—
[Server-wide announcement: The system mall has been upgraded and new features are online! From now on, all food in the mall will be available for purchase in the illusion world. Every purchase will consume one daily order. Please check the mall interface for details.]
Qing Yan was stunned.
Her team members were also stunned.
“D*mn, Sister Yan. Did you really hook up with the dog planners?”
“A domineering game planner fell in love with me?”
“A sexy GM, flirting with girls online?”
“Tell me, Sister. When did you get along with the dog… no, with the wise and powerful planner brother? Can you give me a whole god-tier outfit?”
Hearing them talk more and more outrageously, Qing Yan recovered from the shock and rolled her eyes to the sky.
“Didn’t you see the daily order required? This thing has obviously been set up a long time ago. I was just the first player to change to a card master, so it was triggered.”
“D*mn, making fun of me. The dog planners should die!”
Despite the scolding, Qing Yan opened the system mall and took a look.
Now, in addition to the original large pictures, all the items in the food area had a small gray picture next to them. This small picture would only light up in the illusion.
She looked at the conditions of purchase.
Oh my god, in addition to consuming a daily order for each purchase, the price had doubled!
What a profiteer!
“Achooo—”
Xu Sili suddenly sneezed. He touched his itchy nose but didn’t pay much attention to it.
Just now, his second brother had sent him a message. The matter was settled. He couldn’t help nodding with satisfaction.
It seemed that Lilith wouldn’t be short of food in the future.
