How to Break Through to Mithril

"200? Nothing went wrong?"

"No, it seems to have gone quite smoothly. However, judging from the situation, that person encountered a teacher at the school, but still managed to escape under close surveillance."

"Send me a video."

Ye Qian sighed, said "Okay," and hung up the phone.

Then she ran to the other side, took a picture of the Elemental Core, and came back, sending it over to Ye Qian.

After waiting for two minutes...

"The appearance is correct. If something happens at school, just ask for leave. I'll wait for you here in Saint Via."

"Mm." Ye Qian nodded happily. "Then, sir, have you completed the task you assigned me?"

"I suppose so, but I'm a little curious, who exactly did you invite? You know, even Mithril Rank can't easily enter that place."

"I don't know either. It was at a party when I met a mysterious person. He asked me about something, and I said I didn't know. Then he looked at me seriously and said, 'You and I are destined to meet. I can do something for you.' So I said, 'Can I go and get something?' He did some calculations and said directly, ' The Elemental Core. I'll get it for you.'"

"What?" Norton was startled upon hearing this. "He didn't ask anything, he just divined it directly?"

"Yes."

"Is that really true? You... Heh." As if relieved, Norton, leaning back in his chair, shook his head and gave a wry smile. "It seems you're quite charming, young lady. I really can't think of any reason why anyone would take such a risk for you."

"Hehe." Ye Qian, who was just making things up anyway, scratched her head awkwardly. "When he gave me the things, that guy seemed to say something about me being like his first love or something, and then he left after giving me the things."

Norton was slightly taken aback.

A dozen seconds later...

"Alright," Norton said, both amused and exasperated. "Come back now, give me the stuff, and remember not to bring the Elemental Core with you when you ask for leave."

"Okay, see you tomorrow, sir."

The call ended.

Ye Qian thought about it for a moment and figured that her previous words shouldn't have raised any issues.

No information related to Dusk was revealed.

And before speaking, as usual, she rehearsed with the Cannon Fodder Misses and herself, and the five World Caster jointly cast Cognitive Barrier. It wasn't that Ye Qian was overly cautious, but she was genuinely worried about problems arising, and without providing upper-level insurance, she would inevitably feel uneasy.

"Take your things and go back tomorrow."

We shouldn't touch the Elemental Core, otherwise it could cause problems.

While blue-quality items are valuable, they cannot be considered unique.

Ye Qian believes she will gain a lot in the future.

"Speaking of which, I recently visited a few new worlds, but I didn't expect them to all be wastelands."

She was also very curious when she thought about how the Cannon Fodder Misses found that the Colored Bubble were empty after entering the new place.

But... such a world is not without value to Ye Qian.

She realized that every place seemed to have its own inherent energy and mode of operation.

"Even if it's not necessary, leave one Cannon Fodder Clone there. Let's call this kind of world Uninhabited World No. 1 or No. 2."

That evening, Ye Qian asked the college for leave.

When she asked for leave, the college did indeed review her application and only allowed her to leave after confirming that there were no problems.

Only after stepping outside did Ye Qian's mood calm down.

"I was told a fortune."

Moreover, the power of divination is so strong that one's own Cognitive Barrier would likely find it difficult to cope.

But... she discovered that she had found another form of protection.

Is it Norton?

She frowned, suspecting it was him.

After all, I helped him get the Elemental Core, so that guy will definitely do everything he can to protect this secret.

The investigation Ye Qian is currently undergoing is only necessary for the academy; she is not highly suspected. The girl who was more suspected that day... is still lying in the Kalu World, not yet awake.

Of course, even if the other party is later found, the actual investigation usually won't involve them.

After all, at the very last moment, Miss F222 tore off her Human Skin Mask and revealed her true face.

"These Human Skin Mask are good things; we should make more of them in the future."

The masks Ye Qian currently possesses were all made with the help of workers from the Main World. Such craftsmen are quite rare, and they are trained among a large number of farmers.

Recently, Ye Qian used the [Majestic Town Center (Green)] to train farmers into town militia, which can be considered as partially strengthening their combat capabilities. The training cost for these militia is almost zero; they only need to be provided with some simple equipment that can be made by a novice blacksmith to maintain order in the occupied areas.

Then Ye Qian simply trained 30,000 people and sent them to the Kalu World.

Seeing the little loli (formerly Cannon Fodder No. 2, now Miss D2) with her hair sticking out in the air, who could summon an army of 30,000 with a slight wave of her hand, Kalu was once again dumbfounded.

"Although these civilians, after training, will have strength comparable to ordinary LV5 people, the beasts are enough to maintain order. We just need to put a few strong people in each city."

"OK."

Kalu has matured a lot compared to the past, after all, she has been on the battlefield for a long time.

Among the enemies, some became Black Iron Rank powerhouses. In this world, Black Iron powerhouses are already in the top tier. However, Little Miss D2 simply sent a few Berserker over and easily dealt with them.

The Berserker, now fully equipped, are no less powerful than some newly promoted Transcendent in reality. With just these few as generals, their offensive in the Kalu World has become exceptionally smooth.

Miss D2 unfolded the strategic map and took a look at the current situation.

"I feel like the battle ahead shouldn't be too difficult. We can just stay in the back and command."

Kalu nearby, looked at the adorable little girl, reached out a hand, and poked her ahoge (cowlick).

"Little Vier, you're so small, you're really not suited for the front lines." Kalu rested her chin on her hand and smiled slightly.

This girl with long blue hair, who resembled an RPG heroine, has truly been transformed into a leading lady by Ye Qian.

Looking at her, Miss D2 felt a strange sense of accomplishment.

"Don't treat me like a little kid, even though I do look smaller."

"No, no, but no matter what, it's hard to compare the current Vier with the one we met for the first time."

"Emmm... whatever you want."

In the real world, Ye Qian No. 2 boarded the train back to Konghai City with her luggage.

Inside the ninth carriage, the girl leaned back leisurely, looked up at the sky outside the window, and sighed softly.

He rested his chin on his hand, his gaze drifting to the platform beside him, where people carrying luggage hurried by. Most were ordinary people; they might sense signs of extraordinary beings around them, but in any case, the world was very simple to them.

"The authorities really have strict control over information."

There are people online who speak the truth, but they are almost always censored immediately. And what many people see online are mostly fake accounts.

Sometimes, the person you're talking to in a lively conversation is actually a robot.

Perhaps within this vast imperial network, there also exist invisible barriers of perception, keeping most ordinary people living on a parallel path to the Transcendent, making it difficult for them to intersect with each other.

The train started moving, and the scenery on the platform began to recede little by little.

Ye Qian closed her eyes to rest, but the Mystic Thread was still observing the situation inside the entire train.

As it turns out, extraordinary events are not so easy to happen.

The journey was very quiet.

A day later, when the vehicle arrived at the familiar station, Ye Qian stepped onto the land of Konghai City amidst the amazed gazes of passersby.

"Let's go straight to Saint Via."

She no longer needs to wear the Saint Via Middle School uniform, since she was already considered a transfer student before this.

Chapter 196 The Way to Break Through Mithril

She drove straight to her destination, then ignored the amazed students along the way and headed directly to the Mystic Club.

Unexpectedly, two students recognized her along the way.

"Hey, Ye Qian?"

"Wow, Ye Qian, I heard you transferred schools, is that true?"

Welcome back.

Upon seeing the two girls in front of her, whom she didn't even recognize, Ye Qian awkwardly waved to them.

"Ye Qian, where is your daughter?"

"Yes, yes, that's the super cute one."

Hearing their words, Ye Qian raised an eyebrow. "Daughter?"

The next second, she remembered.

It was the first time that Amia appeared directly in his arms, and that was seen by the other classmates.

"What are you thinking? How could that be my daughter?" Ye Qian said, both amused and exasperated.

"Haha, of course we know, but it's still quite amusing to think about a mother as young as you."

"Yes, yes, so you're tacitly acknowledging that she's your daughter."

Both girls suppressed their laughter.

"Good."

With a black line appearing on her forehead, Ye Qian talked with the two for two minutes before parting ways.

Speaking of daughters, if Amia were born from me and my clone... no, what the hell am I thinking? Ye Qian shook her head violently, the image of that scene already flooding her mind.

Enter the Mystic Club.

As soon as you walk into the lobby on the first floor, you see a beautiful girl with long, straight black hair sitting inside.

"Ye Qian, you've finally arrived."

The girl with long, straight black hair wasn't surprised at all when she saw her; she simply gestured for her to sit opposite her.

When Ye Qian realized that the person wearing the doll-like appearance was Norton, she didn't think much of it and simply leaned back on the sofa.

Norton's doll got up, made a cup of tea, and handed it to Ye Qian. Then, she crossed her sexy black-stockinged legs and said, "Wait a little while. My real body won't be here for another 10 minutes."

"Hmm." Ye Qian nodded. "We got that Elemental Core this time. Speaking of which... is this bead very important?"

"Hehe, if you ask that expert you mentioned, he might tell you something. This kind of treasure, which was born at the end of the Second Era, is also called the Philosopher's Stone. It has extremely high value and is a rare treasure for a researcher like me."

The Philosopher's Stone?

Although Ye Qian had already seen the instructions on the system interface, she pretended not to know and asked again.

"The person who created this thing was not Mage, but Wizard, and a powerful legendary Wizard at that."

Ye Qian picked up her teacup, took a sip of tea, and stared at the doll in front of her.

What is Wizard?

"A mysterious group of people who were born at the end of the Second Era. It is said that they ended the Age of Magic." The other person said casually, as if thinking. "That era was quite far in time, so I have no way of explaining what exactly happened to the Wizard."

"All right."

The other party genuinely didn't know and wasn't lying to me.

"Then, can you tell me how to break through to the Mithril Rank?" Ye Qian No. 2 asked again.

The puppet paused, then looked up suspiciously. "The method to break through to the Mithril Rank... you wouldn't be thinking of..."

"No, no, but I feel like I'll break through sooner or later. Knowing this won't hurt me, right? If Mr. Norton thinks this is too precious, I'll exchange it for Purple Crystal Coin?" Ye Qian tentatively asked.

"Hehe." Hearing the last sentence about exchanging Purple Crystal Coin, the puppet couldn't help but laugh. "I'm an old man, I don't care much about money. But... considering how much you've helped me, I don't mind telling you the method to break through to the Mithril Rank."

Ye Qian immediately sat up straight.

"No need to rush, I'll be there soon."
