Caesar.

From the information related to Caesar's Gate, Xu Nan had some understanding of this rather far-sighted Magician from another world.

He just didn't expect that the other party could actually send him a message in a bottle through the teleportation gate. Was it a precise hit, or a wide cast, and he just happened to pick one up?

He didn't think too much about it, opened it and took a look, and found that this Caesar really had some skills.

The parchment contained a letter, written in very standard Pro World Common Language, expressing gratitude to Xu Nan.

Caesar informed Xu Nan that the other end of the teleportation gate was still in his territory, and this had not changed even with the space-time storm.

And the four people Xu Nan sent over had all arrived safely in Caesar's territory.

According to Caesar, he would give them enough respect and freedom. Of course, he wanted to understand everything about Earth, but he would not force them to do anything against their will.

For example, the only ordinary person among the four – the man Caesar claimed to admire the most – expressed his intentions and aspirations to Caesar, so Caesar gladly agreed and sent him to the Ten Commandments Monastery, the closest Monk training ground to his territory.

As for the other three, under Caesar's persuasion, they decided to temporarily stay and develop in Caesar's territory.

Caesar subtly suggested that he hoped Xu Nan could send more talents from Earth to his territory, utilizing the maximum capacity of the teleportation gate.

He would provide some compensation accordingly. Of course, Xu Nan could also make some requests, and he would try his best to fulfill them.

The entire letter was clean and tidy, with neat handwriting and smooth lines. Xu Nan estimated that even the most critical reviewer in another world would not be able to find any fault with it.

"So, it really was a twist of fate that Senior A-Kun and the others were sent to Caesar's territory."

Xu Nan pondered for a moment, grabbed a piece of paper, wrote a few words on it, stuffed it into the message bottle, and then put it back into the teleportation gate.

The sphere formed by the teleportation gate flickered with blue light, and the message bottle disappeared without a trace.

After doing all this, Xu Nan resumed his work. He would work while waiting for the message bottle!

Unfortunately, for some reason, Caesar's second message bottle never appeared, which left him quite disappointed.

In terms of alchemy, although the basic materials for making rings were gone, a batch of materials he ordered yesterday had arrived.

These materials were mostly woodworking and hardware items. Xu Nan didn't have enough books and materials at hand right now, but by processing these things, he could also increase his Alchemist level.

It was just slower, that's all.

But Xu Nan had always been quite patient. His bloodline was purely based on luck; sometimes, it was better to be more grounded.

Accumulate slowly and then burst forth.

In one night, Xu Nan's Alchemist experience increased by one-sixth. Making rings was much slower, but even so, he still enjoyed it tirelessly.

Pro World, Icewind Territory, in the castle on the snowy mountain.

On the outer city wall, a girl with a determined face held a letter, her gaze fixed on the monsters stirring in the distant Black Forest.

Not long after, a tall, thin young man appeared.

"Respected City Lord, I heard you were looking for me?"

Although he had only been in another world for a day, Changfeng Tuo had integrated well into this world. The inheritance of the Professional system allowed him to use the Common Language.

The girl helplessly handed over the letter in her hand: "It seems that the spellcaster who sent you over is still very concerned about your safety."

Changfeng Tuo took the letter with some surprise and instantly understood what the City Lord meant.

Xu Nan's reply message bottle was written in Chinese!

This meant that Caesar in the other world definitely wouldn't understand it, and at least one of the four people would need to translate the reply. Through this method, he was also trying his best to test and understand whether this Caesar was truly treating Earthlings well.

Changfeng Tuo smiled playfully. He had really misjudged this Xu Nan; they had never met before, but he had a kind heart.

He had indeed misunderstood him before.

Xu Nan's reply was very simple: How many gold coins per person? (Mithril, Adamantine are also acceptable)

After Changfeng Tuo finished translating, the girl fell into confusion.

She didn't expect the other party to directly use Pro World gold coins or even precious metals to measure the value of Earth talents.

After talking with Changfeng Tuo and the others, she had indeed benefited greatly. If she could get more far-sighted and open-minded Professionals from Earth, she believed she had the ability to lead her people through the harsh winter of the Icewind Territory.

Thus proving to those who were huddled in the warm royal capital that she also had the right to inherit this crisis-ridden kingdom.

However, as the least favored of the kingdom's four heirs, the Fourth Princess, her funds were pitifully small. If it weren't for the financial support from her teacher, she wouldn't even have been able to gain a foothold in the Icewind Territory.

"City Lord." Changfeng Tuo seemed to see her difficulty: "Actually, the other party may not be that short of money. He might just want an attitude."

"I am from Earth and know what Earthlings want; just as the people of Pro World eagerly desire knowledge and information from Earth, Earthlings also desire knowledge from Pro World, especially since he is a spellcaster and you are a powerful Magician."

The Fourth Princess said in silence: "You mean, let me use magic knowledge instead of gold coins?"

Changfeng Tuo said smoothly: "I am just providing a flexible way of thinking."

The Fourth Princess nodded, and Changfeng Tuo tactfully left.

Someone appeared from the shadows, and a dry female voice sounded:

"Can we really trust them?"

The Fourth Princess shook her head: "I have no other choice. Even my teacher doesn't think highly of me. This is my only chance."

"I will write back to that spellcaster. If he wants gold coins, I will try my best to gather them. If it's magical knowledge—although doing so goes against the Lanta Covenant, I must make a decision."

"Not everyone is as lucky as I am, to pick up a semi-divine artifact teleportation gate when they were young."

The female voice was silent for a moment, then whispered, "The surname Caesar is a bit too heavy in the Northern Continent. Actually, you don't have to..."

The Fourth Princess waved her hand, "I just don't want the spellcaster from another world to think I'm a woman. No matter which world it is, they always have prejudices against women."

"The Wishing Bottle can only be used once. Reply to that spellcaster tomorrow. I hope he has enough patience."

"This is my last chance."

The next morning, after a short sleep, Xu Nan bought breakfast and delivered it to the cabinet on the second floor, then gently knocked.

A somewhat childish muffled groan came from the room, indicating that she had heard.

Xu Nan turned and left, sending a WeChat message as he went: "I have classes this morning and afternoon. Order takeout yourself at noon, or let that panda help you order takeout."

"But don't let the delivery guy see her. Be careful at home. If there's anything unusual, tell me in time."

Xin'er's WeChat didn't respond. He didn't know if she was still groggy and hadn't paid attention.

Xu Nan sighed, then went to the garage to check on Xiao Xiao. This guy's sleeping posture was extremely undignified. Although she looked cute on the outside, her wild sleeping posture exposed the fact that this guy was actually a disgrace to the national treasure.

But on second thought, with this guy around, at least when he went out, he didn't have to worry too much about Xin'er's safety.

Although Xiao Xiao was unreliable, her combat power seemed unfathomable, much stronger than ordinary magic pets; and her attitude towards Xin'er should be that she wouldn't harm her.

Through the magic pet contract, Xu Nan gave her an instruction to protect Xin'er and satisfy her various needs, then he went out.

Today was Monday, and Xu Nan had a full schedule of classes.

In the morning, it was College English and Mao Zedong Thought, and in the afternoon, it was Basic Accounting, which were large classes.

Just in case, when Xu Nan went to school for class, he not only wore a mask but also simultaneously concealed [Radiant] and [Universal Gravitation].

Even so, when the passing Teddy barked at him, he felt a wave of panic.

He knew that some people near the school also kept Tibetan Mastiffs and the like; if something happened, the scene would be too beautiful to behold.

The English class and Mao Zedong Thought in the morning were fine. They were both class-based classes. Xu Nan was originally a marginal person in the class. Although he was handsome, he always stayed outside the college dormitory group. The first-year girls were somewhat reserved, and the boys naturally wouldn't be too familiar with him.

By the afternoon, the situation immediately changed.

Even though Xu Nan wore a mask, he was recognized at a glance.

Several girls who were clearly not first-year students gathered around: "Junior Xu Nan, let's sit together!"

Xu Nan was immediately surrounded.

He was a little confused: "Seniors, you're not here for class, are you?"

The seniors smiled like flowers: "Of course we're here for class. Our Basic Accounting scores are too low, and we just applied for a retake to boost our scores."

"And there are more than just us in the department. Old Hai's class is already full."

"Oh dear, I've almost forgotten my Basic Accounting. Where is Old Hai teaching now? Can you tell me, junior?"

Xu Nan looked closely. Sure enough, the classroom with over a hundred people was full, and people were walking by the door from time to time, peeking in.

"Xu Nan, you're famous!"

A roommate sent him a message: "The weekend WeChat confession incident, you're completely famous now. Now the girls in our department have started an activity - [Fertile water doesn't flow to outsiders], we must not let that bitch Zhang Yingluo snatch our own junior."

"See those seniors? They're all here for you!"

"You're like Tang Monk's flesh now, attracting demons!"

His words were full of envy, jealousy, and hatred.

Xu Nan's head was as big as a bucket.

At this moment, a familiar voice came from outside the window:

"Xu Nan!"

"What kind of underwear are you wearing today? Is it strong enough?"

...!
