Deep in the night, the Hyperion fell into silence. Kiana and Bronya had been making a ruckus in Yu Luo's room all afternoon until evening, when Mei Raiden forcibly dragged them out.

It had to be said, the three girls were genuinely happy for Yu Luo's awakening. Although they had only known each other for less than a week, they all sincerely regarded him as family.

Most of the ship's staff had fallen asleep, with only a small number responsible for the night watch monitoring the Hyperion's operations. Yu Luo, however, was not asleep. Though his eyes were closed, his consciousness was constantly communicating with the System in his mind:

"Hey, I've escaped Changkong City now, right? Why haven't I received my quest rewards yet? I want to draw cards!"

"Drawing cards won't bring you happiness, why don't you understand that?!" the System advised earnestly, acting as if it had his best interests at heart.

"Why have you changed your tune? Didn't you used to try every way to trick me into spending money?!" Yu Luo asked suspiciously. The System, always a shrewd merchant, suddenly advising him not to draw cards made him feel like something was amiss.

"As long as you don't draw cards, I don't have to issue quest rewards!" the System blurted out. Realizing it had said the wrong thing, it quickly tried to backtrack:

"No, no, I misspoke. I just feel you're neglecting your own power too much, so I suggest you save up and draw cards only when you've sufficiently honed your own strength."

Yu Luo stared expressionlessly at the flustered System and said, "Issue the rewards!"

"Fine," the System said with annoyance. "Ding! [Escape from Changkong City] Complete. Reward: One Shuttle. [Escape from Changkong City Area] Complete. Reward: 3 Saint Quartz, Chaldea Gate unlocked."

"I used to think you were just a shrewd merchant, but I never expected you'd try to skim off my quest rewards too!" Yu Luo accused the System's crimes with tears streaming down his face. "This is too much."

"Yes, yes, yes..." The System could only meekly respond to Yu Luo's accusations. Yu Luo, helpless against such a thick-skinned System, moved on to the important matters:

"What does the attribute bonus deduction for Heroic Spirit Cards mean? And what's the deal with the World Gate and Chaldea Gate? What about the Command Spell System?"

The string of questions made Yu Luo feel there were too many points to critique, and he couldn't help but complain, "What kind of operation is this? You've gone from drawing system 1.0 to 2.0, and you haven't even given an update announcement!"

"It's at most 1.0 to 1.1, alright? Don't shift the blame onto me with that brain of yours, just like Kiana's." The System rolled its eyes, only to be met with Yu Luo's ruthless urging: "Stop the nonsense. Do you still want me to draw cards or not?!"

"Alright, alright," the System said helplessly. "Let's talk about the first question. You should have noticed the Strength, Endurance, and other physical attribute stats on the Heroic Spirit Cards. Actually, from now on, when you transform into a Heroic Spirit, you will only be able to use their Noble Phantasms, skills, and abilities. You will no longer possess their superhuman physical attributes."

"As for the World Gate, as long as you have Saint Quartz, you can freely travel between different worlds. The Chaldea Gate can also travel to different worlds, but there will be missions. Only after completing a mission will you have fully unlocked that world and be able to travel back and forth freely."

"As for the Command Spell System, it's a small compensation. One Command Spell can restore 100% of your transformation energy and can also be exchanged for one use of a Noble Phantasm, but you can only use one per day."

"It's pretty much the same as the original Command Spells, so does one Command Spell restore per day?"

"You're dreaming," the System said, rolling its eyes at Yu Luo. "There are only three Command Spells in total. One Saint Quartz replenishes one Command Spell. Remember that saying: only by 'paying to win' can you become stronger."

"Tch," Yu Luo pouted. "As expected of you. There's probably no problem in your system that can't be solved with Saint Quartz."

"Thank you for the compliment," the System said, unashamed and proud. It then offered Yu Luo a suggestion: "Oh, right. The first time the Chaldea Gate is opened, it will force you to enter within five days. Be mentally prepared."

"Huh?" Yu Luo looked dumbfounded. "Are you the Sovereign? Why would you force me to travel?!"

"Did you really think the price of the proxy service was just to remove a few of your permissions?"

Hearing the System say this, Yu Luo understood there was no room for negotiation. He sighed deeply. "It's only been a few days, and I have to travel again. Forcing a shut-in like me to run around, can you bear it?!"

"Sorry, I'm not a shut-in, and I can bear it."

"You're amazing. I'm going to sleep, goodbye!"

"Is this St. Freya Academy?" Kiana asked, stepping off the bridge and looking around curiously. Theresa, behind her, jumped up and hit her hard on the back of the head.

"Ouch!" Kiana covered the back of her head with both hands, turning to look at Theresa, who was barely taller than her shoulders, with teary eyes. "Auntie, what was that for!"

"Hurry up, don't block the way, I have a lot of things to deal with!" Theresa glared at Kiana, then charmingly jumped down from the bridge. She called out to Murata Himeko, who hadn't descended yet:

"Himeko, Kiana and the others will be staying at your place for now."

"What about me? Am I staying with them too?" Yu Luo pointed to himself, asking Theresa. Theresa crossed her arms and looked at Yu Luo as if he were an idiot.

"Himeko will take you to the male teachers' dormitory. Just follow her. In short, don't look for me if you have problems, and definitely don't look for me if you don't. Theresa is very busy!"

Theresa let out a cute hum and walked away without even looking back at the others, leaving behind a displeased Murata Himeko, who muttered at Theresa's petite figure, "Shorty, dumping everything on me!"

She then turned around, hands on her hips, and said to Mei Raiden, "Alright, girls, follow me. I'll take you to my place. As for you..." Murata Himeko tossed a key to Yu Luo and explained to the confused Yu Luo:

"Go into the academy. The building that looks the oldest is the male teachers' dormitory. Here's the key, keep it safe. I won't take you there. This operation has really exhausted me!"

With that, Murata Himeko stretched and left with Mei Raiden and the other two, leaving Yu Luo alone, looking bewildered at St. Freya Academy, which was filled with aristocratic charm like a European garden, completely unsure of what to do next.

It wasn't until the Hyperion took off that Yu Luo reluctantly accepted the reality of being abandoned. He looked at the key in his hand and walked along the path Murata Himeko had indicated, observing the scenery within the academy.

It had to be said, St. Freya Academy was built on a small island in the sea, and the entire island was St. Freya Academy's territory. The academy grounds were very large, with an overall design resembling a European garden. There were also many cute girls in school uniforms walking around campus.

"The more I look at it, the more it resembles a girls' aristocratic school commonly found in **. If I had a pocket watch that could stop time right now, it would be even more similar," Yu Luo said to the System in his mind.

"Heh," the System sneered. "Do you want me to send you to see the Great God, and have her make you one?"

"No, no, am I that kind of degenerate person?" Yu Luo immediately chickened out. Joke's on him, talking to the Great God like that would probably get him remolded in minutes.

"Speaking of which, why are all these students looking at me so curiously?" Yu Luo noticed the female students pointing and staring at him with curiosity. Whenever he turned to look, they would quickly turn their heads away as if it had nothing to do with them.

"Perhaps they've never seen such a perverted male creature before," the System said sarcastically, earning a cold chuckle from Yu Luo.

"I think they've probably never seen such a handsome god like me before."

"Your delusion is terminal, beyond saving. Prepare to die."

While bickering with the System, Yu Luo wandered through St. Freya Academy in the direction Himeko had pointed. Finally, he saw a building that matched Himeko's description but was completely out of place with the rest of St. Freya Academy.

"This can't be the male teachers' dormitory, can it?!" Yu Luo exclaimed in disbelief. "No, this is gender discrimination! I demand male rights to strike with all their might!"

If you find this book good, remember to add it to your bookshelf to avoid losing it next time.
