Chapter 44: So the Lord Divine Tree Is the System

Zhai Guangyi picked up the Magic Mirror and demonstrated to Xiong Er on the spot how to use it.

Although the mirror couldn’t directly transmit physical objects, it could accomplish three different functions: image transmission, Magic Power conduction, and Magic Transmission.

Image transmission was like using a phone for a video call, and the fact that it could be achieved with a mirror left Xiong Er utterly amazed. The two modern people from Earth quickly mastered this feature.

As for Magic Power conduction, it resembled a Magic Power replenishment device. Through the Magic Mirror, remote Magic Power replenishment could be achieved, assisting the user by providing Magic Power.

“This feature is great! With your immense Magic Power, you could directly serve as my Magic replenishment device. How perfect would that be?”

Xiong Er raised her eyebrows at Zhai Guangyi with her delicate face, wearing a lecherous expression.

“I’m afraid your little body couldn’t handle the massive, waterfall-like Magic Power of your dad.”

Recalling Xiong Er’s muscular otaku image before reincarnation and comparing it to her current delicate Maiden appearance, Zhai Guangyi felt goosebumps all over.

As for the final function, which was also the Magic Mirror’s main feature—Magic Transmission—this Magic allowed connected Magic Mirrors held by different users to transmit Magic between them.

As long as it was within the Magic Mirror’s capacity, fighting someone holding a Magic Mirror was equivalent to facing all holders of the Magic Mirror. It allowed a single person to potentially engage in a group fight.

However, spells like Xiong Er’s Lightning Coil couldn’t be remotely applied to Zhai Guangyi; otherwise, he would have loved to experience the joy of being like the Flash.

Still, Xiong Er’s Lightning Strike could be transmitted, and Zhai Guangyi’s healing spells and Spirit Magic could also be transmitted, which was quite convenient.

Most importantly, Sylph could use the ‘World’ Magic to exchange for items in the System Shop and then transmit them through the Magic Crystal via Magic Transmission. Some Magic Artifacts were very handy.

“You can also remotely seek the Lord Divine Tree’s help through the Magic Mirror. If you’re in mortal danger, you can give it a try.”

Of course, Sylph’s share of the Magic Mirror was also controlled by Zhai Guangyi, with the System automatically responding to help maintain the Lord Divine Tree’s image as the System.

“This is great! This is what I call a Golden Finger. What kind of Golden Finger is my ability to generate indecent books? It’s utterly useless, the worst of the worst.”

Xiong Er held the Magic Mirror in her hands, showering it with praise until Zhai Guangyi felt somewhat embarrassed.

“Don’t say that. Look at how poorly developed this place is and how backward the knowledge level is. With the textbooks we learned in the modern world, you should be able to achieve great things here. Just come up with a few inventions, and you’ll make a fortune.”

“You’re right. I shouldn’t keep materializing these indecent books and comics anymore. Instead, I should materialize all the books we studied in school, develop technology, promote scientific progress, and monetize it reasonably.

But before that, Lord Divine Tree, could you give me a quest? I’ve been here for so long—if not for merit, at least for hard work. I won’t stay home reading comics anymore; I want to go out and complete quests.”

Halfway through the topic, Xiong Er placed the Magic Mirror on the bookshelf and knelt on the ground, pleading incessantly.

“What a mercenary fellow. System, help me respond to her. Have her assist us in recruiting nearby races. As for the reward, you decide—just don’t make me bleed too much.”

He still had quite a bit of System Currency left, and there were decent equipment and items in the System Shop. Surely something would catch Xiong Er’s interest.

“Understood, Master.”

The surface of the magic mirror in front of Xiong Er suddenly rippled like a lake, and a mechanical voice spoke.

“Individual unit ‘Xiong Er,’ do you accept the task of assisting Xiong Batian in recruiting the Black Bear Clan and the Troll Clan?”

“So it really is the System! I accept, I accept, I accept it all! Lord Divine Tree, what’s the reward?”

Xiong Er, her face lit up with excitement and eyes sparkling, stared wide-eyed at the magic mirror.

“Task success reward: 50 Skill Points and one Blue Quality Magic Item. Task failure penalty: truthfully answer one question.”

“No problem, no problem!”

Xiong Er thought to herself: success gives Skill Points and a Blue Magic Item, failure only requires answering one question—no difficulty at all. Might as well take it; it’s practically free!

‘System, how can you even give Skill Points? How does that work?’

Zhai Guangyi didn’t know such a good thing existed. They weren’t even exchangeable in the System Shop—wouldn’t it be better to just give them to him directly?

“Report: By gaining Followers, the ‘World’ can obtain corresponding Skill Points. These can be used to help the Master improve strength, converted into Magic Crystals, or transferred as Skill Points to others.”

Zhai Guangyi nodded. Indeed, it was good. Skill Points could better enhance the strength of Followers and help establish the image of the Divine Tree Sylph. Wool comes from the sheep itself—to gain more Followers, one must provide more benefits to them. Relying solely on the grace of healing magic was still quite limited.

Somewhat excited, Xiong Er turned to ask Zhai Guangyi.

“Have you accepted a task from Lord Divine Tree? I never thought of it before—Lord Divine Tree is actually the System Boss! What a huge loss. If I had transmigrated earlier, I might have completed many tasks and gotten better rewards by now.”

“My task is the same as yours. Let’s not chat now; tomorrow we’ll go together to recruit the Black Bear Clan and the Troll Clan. I hear both are tough nuts to crack, not simple at all.”

Zhai Guangyi waved his hand. It was his first time playing like this, and he felt a bit embarrassed, afraid Xiong Er would see through him. He simply lay down on the bed, pulled up the covers, and went to sleep.

Soon, it was the early morning of the next day. The air inside the Forest was exceptionally refreshing. Little Husky Two dragged a large wooden basin filled with clean water over to Zhai Guangyi.

“Thank you.”

The Magical Beasts responsible for night patrols would bring back clean water for everyone to use, but Little Husky Two had directly fetched water for Zhai Guangyi.

Actually, creating water with Magic was no big deal, but everyone had grown accustomed to fetching water for daily life.

Xiong Batian had already begun arranging the personnel for the trip, directing the Magical Beasts at the front. She instructed the remaining Storm Demon Wolves and Wind Demon Panthers to protect the Divine Tree, increase vigilance recently, stockpile food, and prepare for a prolonged battle.

Storm Demon Wolves are not suited for long-distance expeditions; only within a storm can they unleash their full potential. The range of the Divine Tree’s Magic is the optimal distance. Although Zhai Guangyi himself can also create a storm, the Divine Tree itself is more important than the Elven Body, especially since the Skill “World” can only be used on Sylph.

This expedition consists entirely of elite combatants: Xiong Batian, Xiong Er, Qiqi, Zhai Guangyi, and some Wind Demon Panther Demon Humans. Each is equipped with a Storm Holy Wolf, making a total of nine individuals and nine wolves.

Although Little Husky Two also wanted to accompany Zhai Guangyi on the journey, leaving him here to command the Storm Demon Wolves would yield better results, so he had to endure the disappointment.
