[Chu Ke: I think it should be both.]
[V: Wait until he turns you into a pervert who can only wear skirts at a moment's notice, then you'll know whether it's a job or a title.]
[Time Hero:? What do you mean? Literally?]
[Kaneki Ken: ...Yes, exactly what you're thinking. By the way, I'm begging for a pair of eyes that haven't seen Magical Girl Lumingfei in her dazzling state.]
Lu Mingfei's glorious Magical Girl journey was actually broadcast to the group in full detail by Chu Ke, so everyone except the newly arrived Time Hero knew what V was talking about.
[Chu Ke: Don't worry about these small things. Speaking of which, my clone is also the Hero of the East, and is currently in East Flower Capital. Do you want to go find him and team up?]
[Time Hero: I don't think it's a small thing... If he's really the Demon King, and I go to him... Is it really okay to team up with you?]
[Chu Ke: What's the problem? I don't eat people, and I'm a bit of a germaphobe when it comes to species. Besides, I don't have any need to rule humanity or destroy the World.]
Chu Ke's clone also learned some information about the Demon Race on the way to East Flower Capital. The human race is on the Demon Race's menu, and occupies a very important position. Their purpose in invading humans is to rule and keep them as livestock, and secondly to obtain a better living environment.
This isn't something that can be solved by developing food carrying RC cells like ghouls do, but more like a hobby. Just like how Chinese people on Earth prefer to eat rice and noodles as staple foods, and foreigners like to include potatoes as staple foods, the Demon Race can eat normal food, but eating people is just a hobby.
Although the essence of Chu Ke can no longer be defined by simple species, he was a human for a lifetime after all, and still has some species-related cleanliness. This kind of race that eats people out of hobby is actually on Chu Ke's extermination list.
And he's a conservative among them, that is, a conservative who thinks the radicals are too conservative.
[Time Hero: Okay, I'll go take a look.]
Chu Ke felt that the Time Hero still didn't trust this Multiverse Chat Group. Whether he would actually go was still unknown.
Chu Ke was a little curious about his profession, so he used the Fundamental Forces to follow his clone to that World, not to peep, but to observe.
How can a scholar's affairs be called peeping?
"So it's this kind of skill."
Hero World, East Flower Capital.
After several days of trekking, and hitching a ride on a passing merchant caravan, Chu Ke finally arrived at this city.
In the human forces of this World, there are three major associations, with the Church as the leader, whose scale and strength far exceeds the other two major associations.
The second is the Adventurers Association and the Magic Guild. The Adventurers Association is mainly responsible for registering adventurers, collecting commissions, arranging commissions for adventurers, and teaching some special professional skills that can be purchased.
The Magic Guild was separated from the Adventurers Association, and is mainly responsible for testing a person's magic affinity, as well as teaching and collecting some magic.
In places like East Flower Capital, adventurers can be seen everywhere, so you can find out the location of these two guilds by asking people on the street.
East Flower Capital is famous for a flower called Magic Guiding Flower, which can efficiently and with low loss conduct magic power between flowers of the same species in the surrounding area, so people often use it to construct magic arrays.
For example, the magic streetlights in East Flower Capital are powered by this flower, and each streetlight has a small blue flower swaying on it.
It is said that this flower originally gushed out from a huge underground fountain, and is an ancient species.
But this has nothing to do with Chu Ke. After following the directions pointed out by the kind passers-by for a while, a huge building came into view.
"How does it feel a bit like the guild in Fairy Tail?" Chu Ke looked at the building and pushed the door open.
"Welcome!" The little sister at the front desk greeted him with a business smile: "You can come here to handle business. There are snacks and drinks available in the rest area next to you."
Chu Ke had originally thought that mages were all quite old-fashioned and had prepared himself to see a gloomy mage tower, but he didn't expect it to be in the style of Hai Di Lao.
"Hello, I want to learn magic," Chu Ke said as he stepped forward.
"Are you a beginner? Have you had your magic affinity tested?" The young lady responded quickly, her speech rapid, indicating she was a top salesperson here. "Sir, you look a little tired. If you haven't had your affinity tested, we'll give you a full body massage after the test."
This was the level where, in Chu Ke's previous life, he would pass by her, and by the time he came to his senses, he would have already bought insurance.
"Not yet, how do I test it?" Chu Ke shook his head, realizing for the first time that learning magic required affinity.
"The testing fee is 50 silver coins." The young lady's business smile finally revealed a hint of sincerity, as it seemed the gleam of money was more effective than a massage, instantly purifying her fatigue.
After Chu Ke paid the money, she led him to a room.
Vision Bath Center.
"Sir, please place your hand on this ball." The front desk girl, number 8 technician, pulled out a crystal ball the size of a basketball from who knows where.
Chu Ke followed her advice and placed his hand on it.
A simple drawing of a hand appeared in the crystal ball.
"It's Object Manipulation affinity."
The 50 silver coin service was quite thorough, as the young lady explained some common knowledge about magic to Chu Ke.
There were three types of magic affinity: Element, Object Manipulation, and Rule. A person could only have one type of affinity.
Element affinity involved controlling and producing elements, condensing and gathering them. The common manifestation was throwing fireballs or conjuring water out of thin air.
Object Manipulation allowed one to control weapons. Of course, controlling elements like water and earth into material form was also possible, but it was extremely laborious, and the upper limit was far lower than that of Element affinity.
Rule affinity allowed one to create a Domain and set simple rules within it, such as "whoever falls asleep will have diarrhea."
Of course, this rule was Chu Ke's idea. The people here seemed to have high moral standards, and no one had developed such immoral magic yet.
Aside from these, there were basic magics like "Status Panel" and "Appraisal" that everyone could use, with no affinity requirement.
Following that, Chu Ke paid to learn a few basic Object Manipulation and Appraisal magics, then left the learning room and rented a private training room to practice magic.
Magic had special attack properties. For example, water magic was a special attack against enemies like fire sprites.
The training room simulated various situations for users to train in, making the money well spent.
"Grasp, invisible hand!" Chu Ke shouted loudly, and a giant hand condensed from magic fiercely crushed a scarecrow in the distance, marked as level 1.
"Feels okay... but something seems off?" Chu Ke looked at the shattered results before him, lost in thought.
"That's right, if I can manipulate objects, then can I..." Chu Ke suddenly had a flash of inspiration, extending his right index finger as if to say, "I have an idea."
He pointed at a newly generated scarecrow in the distance, extended his hand, and shouted, "Twist! [BEEP—] Maru!"
Although he didn't know why it was silenced by a mysterious force, the magic still worked.
The scarecrow's crotch instantly twisted as if grabbed by an invisible hand, then twisted violently and burst open.
"Great, perfect special attack magic!" Chu Ke's eyes lit up, this was the feeling he wanted.
Although it only targeted males, and he didn't know if the Demon Race had [BEEP—] Maru organs, it didn't matter, Chu Ke could improve it!
On the other side, on an unnamed path, a handsome man in a white robe suddenly shivered, his legs trembling.
"No! I can't go looking for him, what kind of magic is that, so vicious!"
[Time Hero: Sorry, I suddenly remembered I have something to do, I probably can't go to East Flower Capital.]
Begging for everything for the new book!!!
