149: Section 149

"Can we trade? Please! I can offer knowledge of the Wizarding system in exchange!"

Seeing Su Ming's thoughtful expression, Hermione grew anxious and immediately increased her offer:

"Plus the magic system of the Sanctuary world!"

"Deal!"

Su Ming decided instantly.

Hermione beamed with joy.

With a wave of her small hand, her wand danced gently.

Without an incantation, a magic tome nearly as tall as a person spread its pages and soared over like a great bird.

With just one look, Su Ming knew.

This magic tome was very similar to his own book of scholars.

Inside, it recorded the complete Wizarding system of the HP World.

Another magic book, its cover engraved with scenes of the war between angels and demons, was also on its way.

Seeing this, Su Ming did not hesitate.

Starlight fell from thin air.

He gripped the air, and with a crack, an inheritance crystal was successfully forged.

With a flick of his finger, infinite information was poured into it.

Before long, a nebula vortex quietly took shape inside the inheritance crystal.

Handing it to Hermione, Su Ming did not withhold a reminder:

"I am a Star-Forging Lord; my entire foundation rests upon the class trait Stellar Covenant. Because it's a class trait, I suspect there's a high probability you won't be able to learn it."

"Therefore, based on my own understanding, I have edited a set of theoretical frameworks."

"It involves fields such as the stars, Mind, dreams, contracts, and prophecy, but I'll state upfront: I make no guarantees on how much you can actually gain."

Hermione indicated she didn't Mind; as the Scarlet Witch, she was also at the Scarlet rating, not much inferior to a Star-Forging Lord.

She collected this knowledge purely out of personal interest.

As expected of Miss Know-It-All, her reputation was well-deserved!

Seeing Hermione flipping through the inheritance information, her small face full of focus, Pipi Xi smiled nostalgically; Zhixin had looked the same way back then.

After the moment of nostalgia.

Pipi Xi turned around and joined Su Ming in studying the Sanctuary and Wizarding systems.

Pipi Xi was understanding the knowledge while simultaneously recording and replicating it.

Su Ming was different; he directly expanded his Imaginary Domain, fully activated the Dark Matter Computing Cloud, and used Wall-Piercing Insight along with the Tree of Heart-Phase to exert collective force.

Absorption, digestion, and understanding proceeded simultaneously.

During the process.

On the leaves of the Tree of Heart-Phase, two stellar phantoms silently lit up.

As the integration of knowledge gradually deepened.

The stellar phantoms became increasingly solid.

Various phenomena accompanied them.

Massive amounts of heart-based alter-egos were constantly generated, practicing and evolving various spells upon the stellar phantoms symbolizing the Sanctuary world and the HP World.

Time passed minute by minute.

Finally.

At the moment a spark of starlight lit up Hermione's eyes, the inheritance crystal in Miss Know-It-All's palm shattered silently.

Almost at the same instant.

Su Ming also opened his eyes.

The two looked at each other and smiled, feeling the gratification of meeting a fellow seeker of the Way.

As for Pipi Xi, whose head was practically smoking... Emmm... she was doing her best to digest the relevant knowledge, so there was no need to bother her for now.

"...Su, your attainments in the field of stars can already be considered a path of your own! Thanks, this knowledge has given me significant gains."

"It's just mutual benefit; I've gained quite a lot on my end as well."

For Hermione, with her diverse abilities, this new knowledge served at most to broaden her horizons.

Those who understand, understand.

The Scarlet Witch's style was mainly 'I think, therefore it is.'

She had never paid much attention to the theoretical side of knowledge.

Su Ming was different; he truly benefited immensely.

One must know.

The foundation of the Tree of Heart-Phase lies in the two great talents: Mental Imagery Deduction and Heart Dimension Heavenly Palace!

After the two merged, their basic effects received another boost.

Once the magic system of Sanctuary and the mana system of the Wizarding world were successfully integrated and digested by Su Ming, the corresponding stellar phantoms successfully condensed.

And Su Ming also received corresponding feedback.

Intelligence +2, inspiration +1!

This was the boost brought by the magic system of the Sanctuary world.

Intelligence +1, inspiration +3!

This was the feedback given by the Wizarding mana system!

Thus.

Su Ming's Intelligence surged, leaping to 28 points, and his inspiration attribute underwent a leap-like ascent to 36 points!

What does 36 points of inspiration mean?

A sensory circle that could cover an entire planet with a single thought was merely the baseline.

A sensory precision nearing that of a god was the true core!

Chapter 170: Central Finite Time Axis

That night.

As the time limit for the invitation approached, Su Ming and Pipi Xi bid farewell to Hermione and returned to the Star Palace Tianheng.

Pipi Xi's whole body stiffened, and a massive amount of data scrolled across her eyes.

Su Ming instantly caught the scent of Hexi's unique Mind fluctuations.

Zhixin looked over curiously, her large, watery eyes full of a thirst for the truth.

Yan was more proactive, leaning in front of Su Ming to ask:

"Little Su Su, what exactly is going on with Hermione?"

"Explaining it verbally is too much trouble... once Sister Hexi finishes sorting through the database, just find her to share the information."

Rubbing his temples, Su Ming didn't hesitate; he lay down beside Zhixin, resting his head on her soft, long legs and closing his eyes.

Because the movement was so fast and seemed so natural.

Zhixin only had time to let out an 'Eh?' before she found herself providing an angel's lap-pillow service to Su Ming.

Her face slightly flushed, Zhixin looked helplessly at Sister Yan, her eyes full of a plea for help.

But...

Zhixin hadn't even noticed herself.

Just before Su Ming forced the lap-pillow, Zhixin had almost instinctively shed her military armor and changed into a softer, more form-fitting silk dress.

"Heh, quite considerate..."

With a couple of mischievous chuckles, Yan sat down next to Zhixin, mimicked Su Ming's posture, flopped down, and rested her small head on Zhixin's lap.

Before closing her eyes, she even winked at Zhixin.

Zhixin: "..."

Wait!

This is even more wrong!

Looking down, two heads were lying on her thighs, one left and one right, one in front and one behind; the original romantic atmosphere had instantly spoiled.

So strange...

How did I end up being a part of your 'play' instead?

Waaaah!—

Sister Yan isn't playing fair!

I was clearly here first, me!

To the side, Moyi silently gave a thumbs up—you guys really know how to have fun!

Just then.

Hexi let out a long, slow sigh:

"Log into the Angel Network and enable your respective high-level guard permissions. I'll package and share all the information you need to know... Eh?!"

"No, what's with... this formation?"

Moyi spread her small hands—I have no idea either!

For some reason, Su Ming and Sister Yan are in such perfect sync... what can you do?

Hexi was almost laughing from anger—not because of Su Ming's smooth moves, nor Yan's playfulness, but because Zhixin's helpless little expression really made her lose face as a teacher.

What's the use of just watching...

Go for it!

"Still dazing? Get logged into the Angel Network!"

"Oh, okay..."

Zhixin snapped to attention and hurriedly complied.

With just one look, Zhixin couldn't help but cry out in surprise:

"Queen above! Comprehensive Network? Players! Master, am I seeing this right?"

Moyi also tilted her small head, her face full of existential doubt:

"So ridiculous... a real-life 'fourth calamity' has actually appeared... if this is true, then what are we? NPC background characters?"

Even Yan, who had just closed her eyes, was startled by this series of sudden news.

Opening her eyes, she happened to lock gazes with Zhixin, both of them equally dumbfounded.

Glancing at Su Ming, who was sleeping soundly, Hexi sighed and rubbed her forehead:

"The situation is exactly as it seems..."

"As you can see, the full name of the Comprehensive Network is: Pan-Multiverse Comprehensive Gaming Platform!"

"Its service targets are Comprehensive Network players exactly like Su Ming."

"The Hermione Su Ming mentioned earlier just happens to be another Comprehensive Network player!"

At this point, Hexi finally couldn't hold back; she gave a light snort, stepped forward, grabbed Su Ming by the ear, and pulled him up.

"Sister?" Su Ming was dazed, not yet realizing what was happening.

Everything that needed to be known was already recorded in Pipi Xi's database.

Why pull him up?
