Chapter Summaries

Lan Qingyou arranged for Alice and the Witch Corps to try attracting Flying Magic Beasts at the park’s magic arrays. The witches began reciting dramatic incantations, leaving Lan Qingyou to interrupt them in embarrassment.

• Lan Qingyou learned that Alice and the first twenty-two Witch Corps members were arriving with their Flying Brooms, so she flew out to meet them and brought Diana along.

• The witches studied and photographed the arrays while Diana inspected the mass-produced Flying Brooms.
• After Lan Qingyou told the first ten witches to call to the beasts silently, they recited elaborate incantations instead, and Lan Qingyou told them to stop.

Lan Qingyou oversaw the witches choosing monsters from the Perching Giant Tree while Alice introduced her new meditation technique. Alice befriended seven Mountain Bluebirds, but Pandora received no response from any monsters.

• Alice attracted seven Mountain Bluebirds, and Lan Qingyou explained that they could imitate sounds and learn songs.
• Alice placed all seven birds on her Flying Broom and saw that no monsters had responded to Pandora.

• Alice and the other witches said the group chat was urging them to hurry back, so they mounted their brooms to leave.

• Lan Qingyou emerged from the Sanctuary Tree and found it and Typhon City covered in New Year decorations.
• Susie explained that the New Year was the next day and that the witches had decorated the Sanctuary Tree while Lan Qingyou was in seclusion.

Lan Qingyou remembered that New Year was approaching and stayed up all night preparing a gift for the witches. On the first day of Transmigration Calendar Year 2, she shared a defensive spell called Black Witch Smoke, and the witches began studying it.

• Susie reminded Lan Qingyou that New Year was the next day, so Lan Qingyou hurried off to prepare gifts for the clan.
• Susie spread the news, and the witches speculated in their chat about what Lan Qingyou would give them.
• Lan Qingyou worked through the night and uploaded a file called “New Year Gift of the Witch Race” to the group on the first morning of Year 2.
• The witches discovered that the file taught Black Witch Smoke, a defensive spell that countered the Magic Eye, and began learning and researching it.

After creating Black Witch Smoke using Samael’s magic theory, Lan Qingyou found that the witches had spent New Year’s Day studying the spell and attending Samael’s lecture. She joined a Tarot Villa gathering instead, where The Moon joked that Vampires had different holiday habits.

• The witches recognized Black Witch Smoke as an application of Samael’s magic theory and hurried to study both the spell and the theory.

• Lan Qingyou checked her Card and saw that the witches were studying Black Witch Smoke or listening to Samael’s lecture.
• The High Priestess invited Lan Qingyou to a New Year’s meal at Gu Xiaobei’s Joyful Restaurant, where The Moon remarked that the Vampires were different.

Lan Qingyou joined Vivian and the others for a New Year dinner after discussing her method for analyzing spells. She revealed that her magical-pet platform would open after a fifteen-day wait and explained that each attempt would cost one Gold Coin, leaving the group stunned by the price.

• Lan Qingyou explained how she had analyzed a spell, prompting the others to consider trying the same method before Vivian redirected the discussion toward the New Year meal.
• Lan Qingyou went to the gathering at Gu Xiaobei's Joyful Restaurant, where Vivian asked how the magical-pet project was progressing.
• Lan Qingyou said the platform south of the Perching Giant Tree would open after fifteen days and told Ruan Qingyi that people could try it early if they paid.
• Lan Qingyou explained that users had to put one Gold Coin in a Merit Box, enter the platform's magic array, and call for a monster, though she could not guarantee one would answer.
• Chu Yuan and the others reacted with surprise and complaints about the cost of a single uncertain attempt.

Lan Qingyou met Hoger at the Teleportation Array and told him about Magical Beasts that could serve as mounts for the Knights Order. She recommended Freyja’s ranch to him, then told Freyja to expect his contact.

• Lan Qingyou left the restaurant gathering and met Hoger at the Teleportation Array.

• Lan Qingyou listed Griffins, Flying Lizards, and Pegasi, and explained how to summon them and their cost.
• Lan Qingyou recommended Freyja’s ranch to Hoger as a source of Magical Beast mounts.
• Lan Qingyou messaged Freyja about the referral, and Freyja offered to share some of the profits if the deal succeeded.

Lan Qingyou’s flying-familiar platform brought in more than eighty thousand Gold Coins a day as people and teams sought familiars. Elsewhere, Freyja’s Succubus Race began selling cheap land-based familiars, drawing customers to their ranch.

• After returning to her shelter, Lan Qingyou resumed research with Little Spoon while Steel Wool rarely came home.
• When the waiting period ended, crowds flocked to Typhon City to pay for a chance to obtain flying familiars, and Helen threw a disgruntled customer off the platform.
• Hoger’s Spade Knights Order selected only wyverns, pegasi, and griffins, and Hoger considered the chance to obtain their genes worth the cost.
• Alisa’s Gene Alchemy attracted specialized commissions, while Lan Qingyou’s familiar business brought in over eighty thousand Gold Coins each day.
• Freyja announced that the Succubus Race was selling affordable land-based familiars, and its ranch became a popular destination for customers.

Lan Qingyou expanded her magical pet business with new sea-dwelling pets entering the market, then joined a group discussion about Professor Samael’s flawed theory of magic. The group discovered that his theory worked when paired with a witch’s Magic Eye, and the chapter left them considering that hidden requirement.

• Ruan Qingyi announced that the Jiaoren Race would sell underwater magical pets, complementing the Succubus Race’s land pets and the Knights Order’s flying mounts.
• Lan Qingyou began planning to add more magic arrays to the platform, while accounting for the site’s limits and the need to keep the arrays from interfering with one another.
• Lan Qingyou learned that Professor Samael had joined Tarot Villa as The Hermit and congratulated him on receiving the title Shepherd of the Stars.
• The Hermit acknowledged that his theory could not explain why other researchers failed to reproduce Lan Qingyou’s spells, despite both sides being correct.
• Lan Qingyou revealed that the theory worked more easily with a witch’s Magic Eye, which she had forgotten to mention because using it had felt natural.

After discussing Samael’s Magic Power theory and their Magic Pet businesses, Lan Qingyou learned that the Beast Emperor Ore might be in the Dark Forest. The Supreme Council had found a massive creature called the Beast Emperor, but it was still unclear whether it contained the ore.

• Samael realized his theory was difficult for most races to use without a way to perceive Magic Power, and he promised to work on a solution.
• Vivian changed the subject to flying Magic Pets, and Freyja explained that she, Ruan Qingyi, and Nemo were breeding land-dwelling Magic Pets.
• Chu Yuan told Lan Qingyou that the Supreme Council had located a possible source of Beast Emperor Ore in the Dark Forest.
• Chu Yuan explained that the Council’s staff had mistaken the Beast Emperor for a huge hill and had not yet confirmed whether it contained Beast Emperor Ore.

Lan Qingyou decided to investigate a dangerous forest dungeon that might hold the Beast Emperor, and recruited a large expedition team. The group prepared to leave the next day, while Diana stayed behind to manage the Land of Abandonment.

• Judgment told Lan Qingyou that the dungeon entrance had level-thirty monsters and advised her to bring experts and supplies.

• The Witch Corps assembled twenty-two witches for the trip, with the Witch of Nightmare replacing the Dream Witch.
• Lan Qingyou explained the expedition to the Management Group, but Diana could not join because she had to remain in charge.

• People on the World Channel learned that the Witch of the Tower and the others had not emerged from a Dungeon in Huanggu Basin after a week, then speculated that they had died.
