Good Night, Doggo (Second Update, 3K Chapter)

Lin Xiaowei was very annoyed.

Chatting with that bastard Li Yao, you can easily get taken advantage of if you're not careful! It makes you so angry you'll grind your teeth! But you can't even hit him!

If this guy were on Earth, the grass on his grave would probably have changed several times over by now.

It's my own fault for being careless!

"You should say it's the father!" Lin Xiaowei said menacingly, gripping the phone. "You just wait, I'll beat you to death sooner or later."

Li Yao slumped onto the sofa, fearless. "But we still have to wait for you to come back!"

and,

With my genius Boss Li, I might even surpass you when you return! Who knows, we'll see who beats whom then?

Lin Xiaowei subconsciously pulled out her journal to jot down her grudges, only realizing what she had done after she finished writing—

Damn! Her hands are faster than her brain! Lin Xiaowei: "Just you wait, I'm definitely coming back to Earth!"

She angrily put away the journal.

This book is filled with a thousand ways Li Yao could die—making her greatest wish now to go back to Earth and beat Li Yao up.

Homesickness took a backseat.

Li Yao hadn't thought about it yet, and clicked his tongue, saying, "You know, I've been in the third ring for a while now, shouldn't I start preparing to imprint my Specialized Magic Rune?"

Lin Xiaowei: "Then you do it."

Specializing in array patterns for the first time carries little risk.

Li Yao asked, "What do you think is the best first array pattern for me? By the way, what did you choose as your first one? How many did you specialize in?"

Lin Xiaowei replied, "The first array pattern mainly depends on personal preference and temperament. Generally, those who pursue high damage will choose the Evocation School to specialize in. The Spell Faction can deal with a variety of situations. The Transmutation Faction is versatile and has strong combat power. Although every mage will study the Defense School carefully, they usually do not choose it as their first specialization."

besides,

Those who choose the Divination Faction as their primary specialization are often able to anticipate their enemies' moves.

Few people choose illusion or enchanting as their first specialization unless they have a particular fondness for them, because they often become less effective in the later stages of the game.

Finally, the undead were left.

This is a relatively popular school of thought in recent centuries, so it is still a popular choice as a primary specialization.

Lin Xiaowei's teacher, Master Kentji, chose Necromancy School as his first specialization, followed by Evocation and Protection.

He only has three specializations.

As for Lin Xiaowei...

She proudly declared, "I am an expert in four fields! Tell me, isn't that amazing!"

Her words were practically a plea for praise! Li Yao seized the opportunity to flatter her. "Mmm, really amazing!"

He pondered for a moment and asked, "Is it really true that there can only be a maximum of four specializations?"

Can't you be a little more lenient? My boss, Boss Li, is exceptionally talented; who knows, he might just pull off a kill!

Lin Xiaowei: "..."

She sneered, "Go ahead and do whatever you want. I wonder if I'll be able to collect your corpse two hundred years from now."

Li Yao: "..."

Lin Xiaowei urged, "Stop dawdling and hurry up and choose!"

Li Yao thought for a moment. The magic of the Energy Shaping School pursues lethality, and even its defense is based on the use of energy. However, many weapons on Earth can actually produce similar effects.

Creations made with modern technology would have been considered "magic" in ancient times.

Therefore, although Li Yao is more skilled in the Energy Shaping System...

But he is not prepared to choose.

As for the Spell Faction, although its spells are very powerful, Li Yao does not have much resonance or affinity with the spell system based on "summoning," so it should be the last choice.

The remaining protections and changes...

Lin Xiaowei had previously stated that very few people would choose protection as their primary specialty.

So, only the Transmutation Faction remains?

So he made up his mind and said, "I choose the Transmutation Faction!"

Lin Xiaowei: "That's right, my primary specialty is energy shaping."

Now that he had made the decision, and with his best friend online, Li Yao decided to prepare for the specialized branding process with voice chat enabled. He started setting up the specialization array for the branding process, and Lin Xiaowei even asked to turn on video to let Li Yao check it out.

Lin Xiaowei's appearance is shown in the video.

The last time I saw what this guy looked like was on the first day we contacted each other. Back then, this bastard said that posting videos consumed a lot of soul energy.

Now, as his close friends' ring levels rise and their strength increases, they can mobilize more and more resources.

and...

This guy's appearance is roughly the same as before, but he looks even better than before!

Her golden hair was shiny and smooth.

Each root is clearly distinct!

Her face was fair, smooth, and delicate, like freshly peeled egg white—her appearance was even more refined and beautiful than before.

While setting up the specialized magic array, Li Yao secretly peeked at that guy! He even felt a kind of nervousness, like a stranger video chatting with him online!

Lin Xiaowei noticed Li Yao's absent-mindedness and alerted him, "Hey, wake up, dog! What are you thinking about!"

Li Yao: "..."

He corrected a slightly off magic line, asking as he did so, "By the way, did you use a beauty filter?"

The QQ Account video function does indeed have a beauty filter option.

This is much better than WeChat's "truth-revealing mirror".

However, Lin Xiaowei sneered, "We have a bloodline advantage, okay? We are the descendants of the Radiant Saintly Glory Family. I heard that our ancestors were the relatives of a certain god. Look at my slightly pointed ears, they are the bloodline characteristics of that family. Later, when the Age of Gods ended, our family declined, but we inherited the superior bloodline. My teacher helped me detect these in my bloodline."

Li Yao: "..."

Other people's time travelers are overjoyed when they get a cheat code!

Where's my best friend? Time travel, bloodline, legendary teacher, and the ability to contact Earth...

"May I ask if you're the luckiest person in the entire plane?" Li Yao was jealous, and jealousy triggered his wave-particle duality! He then began to meticulously create the array patterns, drawing them with Magic Potion, reinforcing them with a potion made of mithril, and embellishing them with magic stones and specialized magical materials. Li Yao then activated his mental power to ignite the array patterns—his mental senses spread out, perceiving the aura conveyed by the Magic Array Inscriptions as they operated, according to the methods recorded in the meditation manual...

As the Magic Array Inscriptions was fully activated, colorful spiritual light splashed everywhere! A magnificent and complex array diagram appeared in Li Yao's mental perception.

This is a manifestation of the Magic Array Inscriptions spreading into the void and absorbing the energy of the rules after it is activated!

This Magic Array Inscriptions serves as a medium, allowing Li Yao to prematurely access and comprehend the power of laws, preparing him for advancement to the intermediate level! Soon...

The power of the rules originating from the "Great Source" was guided out and mixed into the magic circle. When the rule energy was sufficient, Li Yao's spirit permeated into the array diagram. He would use his own spiritual power to uncover all the power of the array diagram and integrate it into the imprint and enter his own soul!

The originally light mental energy suddenly became heavy.

Li Yao gritted his teeth and suddenly withdrew all his strength!

"Boom!"

It was as if a heavy hammer had struck Li Yao's head. Even with his resilient and profound soul, he couldn't help but feel a wave of dizziness. Fortunately, he didn't forget what he was supposed to do! Even as his consciousness plunged into darkness, he continued to imprint the Magic Array Inscriptions according to the path he had calculated tens of thousands of times in his mind!

The mental energy contained the array diagram and the rules and energy contained within it, collapsing towards the core of the brain. The remaining mental energy then began to weave rapidly, like the threads of a weaver!

This power must be solidified! Finally,

As Li Yao absorbed the next wisp of magical light, he completed the specialization imprint.

Now,

A halo appeared behind his soul form, which was engraved with complex magical runes; that was the manifestation of the special laws of the Transmutation Faction within his soul.

The aura of rules manifests in the soul world through the power of quantity, spreading outward from the center of the brain.

It looks a bit like the halo behind the Buddha's head.

It seems that the development of the brain and mind on Earth's extraordinary side is not something that was imagined or fabricated out of thin air.

He had also heard that there were spiritual mystical methods in Tibetan Buddhist practices that could be used to temper one's spirit and will, and ultimately lead to the attainment of so-called "Buddha-nature, wisdom, and spiritual light."

Now it seems,

Is that also a manifestation of mental beings incorporating the power of rules into their brains?

Perhaps I can get in touch with them and learn more about them in the future.

After completing the first specialization's imprint,

Li Yao let out a long sigh and said wearily to Lin Xiaowei, "It's all settled."

Lin Xiaowei on the other end of the phone also breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, whether it's a formal promotion or a specialization in branding, you need a teacher to guide you.

If an accident occurs and rescue is timely, the impact may not be significant.

But Li Yao is on Earth, and she can't reach him from afar.

Therefore, the only way to ensure that Li Yao's preliminary preparations were flawless was through remote supervision. Even the casual chatting was just to help Li Yao relax.

Lin Xiaowei said with relief, "You've just finished imprinting your specialization, so get some rest."

Li Yao picked up his phone from the phone stand on the table and turned off the video function. "Isn't turning on the video function a bit of a burden for you?"

Is this someone who cares about me? Lin Xiaowei felt a warmth in her heart and replied firmly, "Yes!"

Li Yao chuckled, then wearily reclined on a comfortable lounge chair. "Let's chat by voice for a bit. Let me tell you, a lot has happened on Earth lately—I told you about what happened in Sierra Leone last time, and I've done a lot more big things recently! I even helped the Queen Mother register a faction, isn't that amazing..."

He talked on and on without any clear direction.

Lin Xiaowei listened quietly.

Even though they were separated by a vast and distant dimensional space, and by a time and space so long that even light could not travel, the atmosphere between them was so quiet and peaceful.

It's like a busy couple coming home after a long day, cooking dinner, eating, cleaning up the dishes and table, and then snuggling together on the sofa watching a fun variety show, with the volume just right so you can hear each other whispering.

So they spoke softly,

Time flows slowly...

Before he knew it, the exhausted Li Yao had fallen into a peaceful sleep. His hand, which had been holding his phone beside his face, had now slipped from the recliner to his collarbone.

Then,

Lin Xiaowei heard soft snoring and the rhythmic beating of a heart.

She listened quietly.

I listened for quite a while.

At that moment, it felt as if the whole world was rushing away, leaving only the soft voice from the receiver. That voice seemed to pull her soul away, propelling her at a speed faster than light towards a distant horizon. It was as if she were still on Earth, as if she had just opened her eyes and realized she had only had a dream.

After waking up, he nudged his best friend next to him with his elbow and said with a grin, "Let me tell you, I just had a really interesting dream..."

Lin Xiaowei closed her eyes, her long eyelashes trembling gently with the rise and fall of her breath.

She laughed and said softly:

Goodnight, dog.

Second update. Goodnight, everyone.
