"But they're still here."
Madison, who loved answering questions, hurriedly opened the system interface and breathed a sigh of relief when she found that it was still there.
"It would have been optimized away, but I spent gems on it," Basil said.
The reason I answered the question was because Madison liked it.
Quidditch and the ball remained because of their irreplaceable functionality.
The system's power can limit the participants.
In Quidditch, magic can only be used to control Flying Broomstick.
At a ball, all the participants are ordinary people.
Even today, Basil cannot escape this limitation.
If he can learn this technique, it will undoubtedly become a trump card.
But to be honest, he didn't quite understand it either.
After returning to the world where he was still Li Lin, he spent some time playing the updated game.
In club activities, only Quidditch was optimized out.
However, in the actual system update, the quiz and the dance are combined.
"That's wonderful," Beatrix exclaimed, her delicate hands, clad in lace gloves, no longer tucked behind her back.
What she cared about most was the ball.
Dressed exquisitely, she dances with the prince under dazzling lights to tunes that are either light, soothing, exciting, or somber. In the face of hopelessness in the club, she displays her eternal grace and superb dance skills.
This is the happiest and most anticipated time of her week.
This was even more important than the intimate encounter with the prince after the ball.
After all, close contact is always possible, but opportunities to showcase one's excellence in front of these competitors are rare.
As Beatrix's newly acquainted friend, the White Queen also joined in the applause.
Sophie, the vice-captain who had never gotten along with Beatrix, narrowed her eyes and raised her voice several decibels, "Prince, what has become of the herbs?"
"You'll be very surprised," Basil said. "Try clicking on the [Club Challenge]."
Sophie, who had already opened the corresponding interface, was the first to click.
She discovered that the moment she pressed the button, she disappeared from the club.
He appeared out of thin air in a deep blue spacetime tunnel, his body seemingly Petrifying Charm.
The soft touch of the Cushioning Charm beneath her made her instantly realize that she was on Flying Broomstick.
But she didn't need to control it at all; the Flying Broomstick automatically carried her forward.
There was no sound or any reference point in this passage.
She didn't know how long she had been traveling—perhaps a moment, perhaps a century—before a beam of light shot out. When her vision returned, she found herself on a suspended stone platform.
Opposite them was a red magic door.
To the right of the magic gate was a hunched-over, hooded, bearded man carrying a box on his back.
Where are we?
Hearing the voice, Sophie looked to her side and saw Madison.
Her appearance seemed to trigger a chain reaction.
Soon, the stone platform began to become crowded.
Madison stood with his hands on his hips, looking around at everything.
"So many pine trees, so much fog." She frowned, turned around, walked to the edge, and looked down. "The stone platform is suspended in the air, but below it is a continent that is also suspended in the air, and the pine trees grow on the continent."
"How annoying." Beatrix fanned herself with her white lace gloves like a fan. "The color of this fog is so hopeless, not lasting at all."
The fog was a very light red, which did indeed resemble the area around the Evil Academy.
Sophie sighed inwardly.
"So many small islands." Using her almost immortal-like Lightness Skill that allowed her to fly by gathering her qi, Huang Rong to a high place. "They are connected to the stone platform by golden chains."
"Above there are wizards, dragons, Grindylow, Troll, Basilisk, red dwarves, Werewolf."
"Are we going to defeat them one by one?"
"Only then can we reach the end?"
She was not surprised by the wizard's presence.
During the herbal event, when the boss is a dragon egg, there is a wizard nearby who incubates the dragon egg.
These wizards only use basic attacks and simple Incendio.
Even if you reach hundreds of millions of layers within a limited time, it's just an accumulation of numbers.
In Basil's words, "It's really boring. It's just that the health is so high that it can withstand the Big Bang, Incendio can burn up a starry sky in an instant. It's just a matter of scale, not a qualitative leap."
"Just these few islands?" Bellatrix asked doubtfully. "They're hardly enough for us to fight."
Herbs are useful because after each boss is killed and all the herbs are collected, the level refreshes, and a new boss appears to advance to the next level.
Although time is limited.
In theory, if you fight fast enough and gather herbs quickly enough, you can farm an infinite number of levels.
The Basilisk that Basil encountered, whose size was comparable to Cosmic Cluster, were obtained through this method.
However, the new version of the [Club Challenge] does not seem to have a refresh mechanism.
Uchiha Hikari, who emerged from the island closest to the stone platform, is proof of this.
After she left, the monsters on the island disappeared, leaving only a campfire that seemed to burn forever.
"Too weak." Uchiha Hikari walked up to Basil, pouting. "One Fireball Jutsu and the Basilisk was gone."
"It stops refreshing after killing 40."
"Basil, you're lying."
"No herbs are interesting."
"Because the infinite respawn mechanism of herbs only works in infinite stages." Basil hoisted Uchiha Hikari onto his shoulder and looked at the women. "You haven't discovered its truly interesting aspects yet."
"No, I've already discovered it." Standing to the left of the magic gate, A'zi pointed to the telescope on the bench in front of her. "Next to it, we can open the enhancement interface and enhance ourselves by consuming a currency."
"There's even an option for innate abilities."
"I found it too." A'zhu pointed to the hooded man. "Next to him, we can bring up the rewards interface. As long as we pass the corresponding level, we can get the corresponding reward."
Basil shook his head. "These are just appetizers."
"Let's start with the enhanced interface."
"The currency here comes from the island behind the magic gate."
"Each island that has been cleared can still be challenged by entering the campfire to earn currency."
"But these enhancements only work here."
"And this stone platform is reset every week."
"Your progress in the challenge will be updated and strengthened together."
"Only the rewards from the enhanced interface will not disappear."
"Ugh~" A'zi showed a disgusted face.
"Although the enhancement will disappear and only takes effect here, the skills and talents you gain after the enhancement can still be experienced while you still possess them," Basil said.
"Enhancement is not about giving you a new skill, but about enhancing what you already have."
"You will find that your moves and spells have become more powerful. All you have to do is figure out how you have become stronger."
"What are these: [Golden Key], [Silver Key], [Accio Coin], [Universal Card]?" As Basil spoke, A'zhu glanced at the rewards on the rewards screen.
"The Golden Key and the Silver Key are variations of the Library Ticket," Basil said.
A'zhu, from a world invaded by the [Library Component], instantly understood. "So, by consuming it, I can obtain Curse Technique of the corresponding level?"
Basil nodded, "[Accio Coins] can be used to exchange for cards."
"Great!" Sophie couldn't help but pump her fist. She had drawn cards many times in the Club Store, but they were all forbidden cards like the Cruciatus Curse and the Killing Curse.
Madison, the witch, is favored by Fantastic Beasts like a princess in a fairy tale, and receives Summoning Card like unicorns.
Although her talent for "Life and Death Control" derived from the Killing Curse has become so powerful that it can kill a dragon as large as a star as the sun with a single blow, she still cannot be happy.
After all, although the Club Store is now full of a wide variety of goods, and even the elixir of immortality has many versions, cards that can be stacked and upgraded without limit and transformed into corresponding world power forms can still only be obtained by drawing them by luck.
[Legendary Cards] are also known as gold cards. The only guarantee is that the card will be a gold legendary card.
However, there is no guarantee that you will get the one you want.
"As for the [Universal Card]," Basil paused, "It can enhance the power form of cards of the corresponding level."
Due to differences in the world, for example, the Protego Totalum in the blue [Rare Card] might directly grant the user this spell, but it is more likely that due to the different world, it will be transformed into a corresponding form of power.
In the martial arts world of Rong'er and her friends, this would be transformed into an internal energy cultivation method.
Even after conversion, the blue [Rare Universal Card] can still be upgraded.
"Huh? Why is the only reward the [Rare Universal Card]?" Sophie's face fell.
She has only ever bought "Legendary Cards," which are gold card packs.
She had never even seen the epic cards that were guaranteed to be purple, the mostly blue cards, and the mist cards that might be purple or gold.
"That doesn't matter," Basil said. "It's just a manifestation of the degraded omnipotent power."
"Bucky, you mean the gem?" Zoe sighed. "We don't have a way to exchange for it."
Gems, the crystallization of omnipotent power, can only be obtained by Basil, the direct owner of the system.
As members of the club, they could only be considered to indirectly possess the system.
"That was before," Basil said. "The endless levels I just mentioned, two of these islands are endless levels."
"There is no time limit; the monsters will keep respawning and getting stronger."
"The only way to quit is through death."
"You can get a gem by killing 40 enemy units, even Spider-Man."
"The only downside is that there's a limit to how many gems you can acquire."
"After the first island reaches 80, you will no longer be able to obtain gems."
"The second one is after 120."
"How much would it be if I took it all?" Sophie's eyes were practically sparkling with desire.
"The first one has 15+20+25+30+40, 130 gems," Basil explained in detail. "The second one has 25+30+35+40+50, 180 gems."
"That's 310." Sophie chuckled out loud. "310 every week... then I... then I..."
Her smile froze.
She couldn't think of anything she could do.
Immortality?
She can already do it.
Basil's absolute favor?
Her amount of gems is definitely not enough.
Extend the time?
Ahem, she actually did it on purpose; that's what sets her apart from other flashy, cheap women.
In short, everything she wants can now be found in the Club Store.
"The update is late," she sighed.
"What's late?" With remarkable agility, Huang Rong, having cleared the first endless island, unleashed a powerful strike with her delicate palm, capable of splitting mountains and cleaving rocks. "Green Wave Palm Technique, 108th Form!"
For Huang Rong now, this attack was less than one ten-thousandth of the power of a casual strike.
But it shocked Wang Yuyan, who knew her very well.
She was practically a walking encyclopedia of martial arts novels, and she couldn't believe her ears. "108 styles?"
The Green Wave Palm Technique is the introductory martial art of Peach Blossom Island.
Although it inherited the complex characteristics of Peach Blossom Island martial arts, it only has thirty-six moves.
Where did the number 108 come from?
Innovation?
But the style of this move was unlike anything she knew.
"Gemstones," Huang Rong said, "Are truly wondrous, just like how Father has been meticulously studying the Green Wave Palm Technique, evolving it into 108 forms."
"If Rong'er's father saw this, he would be absolutely stunned."
As she spoke, she recalled her return to Peach Blossom Island, where her father couldn't find a sense of accomplishment in her Curse Technique but instead looked for her mistakes in martial arts techniques.
"You little brat, are you just going to waste your talent like this?" Wang Yuyan, somewhat annoyed.
"Rong'er can't figure out how to use it either." Huang Rong lay on the ground, about a meter above the ground, casually swinging her snow-white legs.
The God of War Lupin's World.
"Lupin," Basil asked, "If you had the power of everything, what would you do?"
Lupin, who had just passed through death and chatted with his deceased parents, Lily, and James, and was beaming with joy, exclaimed, "Huh?"
He did not question why Basil suddenly asked this question.
Being able to see Lily again made him extremely grateful to Basil.
So he quickly composed himself. "Ten minutes ago, my wish was to break through the miniature illusion and find a way to go to the afterlife alive."
"And now?" Basil asked.
Lupin glanced at Diana. "I hope that as Ares, I never rebelled."
"My parents and brothers (referring to Zeus, Hera, Apollo, etc.) are still alive."
"Diana was able to grow up under the protection of God the Father."
"This is not a good idea," Basil said. "The only reason your Zeus didn't become a lower-body animal is because of his slightly higher moral standards than other Zeus, and the existence of Darkseid."
"If you've read mythology, you'll know that Zeus was so amorous because in the universe he would be killed by his youngest son." Lupin's image of Zeus was full of romantic ideals, "That's why he kept having children with other men."
"Those who give me life are permissible, and those I give life are permissible, both men and women are permissible. This is Zeus's code of conduct," Basil said. "If it were only to avoid Prophecy, why would he have affairs with handsome men?"
"Also, why did Athena and Artemis swear to become virgin goddesses?"
"That's just mythology," Lupin slashed at lightning speed. "And they were just paying homage to Hestia."
"Let's leave it at that, Amazons," Basil suggested.
All Amazons are Zeus's women.
"Zeus was just under too much pressure; the seven continents and four oceans were all on his shoulders," Lupin tried to salvage the situation. "Do you know how much effort he put into dealing with Darkseid?"
"You can say that because you didn't inherit the faces of Zeus and Hera at all," Basil said. "You're not handsome at all."
