The Legendary Spellbook / "Extremely" High Intelligence?

Just as she reached the door, Ling Mengxue turned back to look at the old woman, her face full of confusion, when a horrifying thought suddenly came to her mind.

Could it be that this old lady has feelings for me?

Of course, she dismissed the idea almost instantly, as it was simply too terrifying...

The old woman didn't say anything more, but ran over carrying a delicate little palace lantern, panting a few times.

"Young lady, take it, take it. It's free. This lamp is of good quality; it's one of the store's prized possessions. Why are you so stubborn? Why won't you listen to your elders' advice?"

"Huh?" Ling Mengxue was taken aback, but still took the palace lantern without hesitation. "Thank you, Grandma, but really, it's not necessary. I won't be in any danger..."

"Alright, alright, here's the lamp. Remember to come out early!"

Before she could finish speaking, the old woman interrupted her, shook her head, sighed, and went back inside to continue watching her drama on her phone...

Ling Mengxue was somewhat speechless, but still expressed her gratitude.

I'm just stating the facts. There's basically no danger. With my current strength, if I encounter anything really powerful, I can just use cheat codes to crush everything.

She also possessed a 'Light-Source Spirit Crystal,' which was many times more powerful than the 'Soul Lamp.'

The 'Soul Lamp' can only illuminate a range with a maximum diameter of ten meters, while the 'Light-Source Spirit Crystal' is much more powerful. It can directly dispel all the mist within a twenty-meter radius around it and also has a burn effect on supernatural creatures. Supernatural creatures below the Fourth Order cannot get close.

However, she didn't know that the old woman's insistence on giving away the lamp and her generous donation was also part of the shop assistant's job.

Work rule three: If you encounter a fool who can't afford Soul Lamp but is still fearless and wants to run inside, you must give the lamp away for free!

Otherwise, the person in charge will also need to be judged according to the law and bear the corresponding responsibility...

Chapter Forty: The Legendary Magic Book

[Item Name: Exquisite Soul Lamp]

[Quality: Excellent]

[Description: Containing a small amount of Star Source, shrouded in a faint mist in the darkness, eerie laughter, and occasionally flashing black shadows...]

The Soul Lamp, refined from the soul of Second-Order Supernatural creature, is even more effective, illuminating the mist within a thirteen-meter diameter radius.

The interplay between illusion and reality; the flame of a burning soul can illuminate the darkness ahead.

(Note: Remember, never be curious about anything in the dark; you might encounter some unexpected "surprises," hehe--)

"Excellent quality! I didn't expect the old lady to be so kind, giving it away for free?"

Ling Mengxue held the small palace lantern in her hand, looking on with surprise.

She had previously used her 'Eye of True Sight' to check, and found that the Soul Lamp sold in the shop and most of the ones held by passersby were 'inferior' products, with only a few being of high quality.

If a low-quality item is worth 100,000, then it's not unreasonable for a high-quality one to sell for hundreds of thousands, right?

I just don't know if anyone will buy it...

She shook her head, not thinking too much about it, and simply put away the 'Light-Source Spirit Crystal'. Following the instructions, she lit the Soul Lamp and walked along the desolate streets filled with dark fog.

I didn't mean anything by it, I just wanted to experience what it's like to be an ordinary person.

It gets a bit boring to always be cheating; it's nice to feel "scared" once in a while.

As soon as she crossed the warning line, she couldn't help but shudder!

"Wow, it's summer now, the temperature in here is probably less than ten degrees Celsius!"

Ling Mengxue felt like cursing. She was wearing a plain short skirt, thin casual pants, and a short-sleeved shirt. She was so cold that she could barely walk!

[Xi He: Ding! The main quest has been triggered. Please put on the witch's gown, equip the exclusive spellbook, traverse the dark mist, and loudly tell your neighbors, "The great Legendary Witch is here!"]

"??"

"Neighbor?"

Ling Mengxue wondered if she had misheard. She looked around; this place was so desolate, and deep in the mist, how could there be neighbors?

And what's with that loud announcement to the neighbors that I'm here?!

Are you sure doing this won't lead to serious social problems?

Despite her thoughts, she quickly found a place to change, otherwise she would freeze to death!

What kind of weather is this?! (OдO?)

No, the weather in this place is awful!

The "Spellbook" and "Witch Set" were automatically sent to the quest locker and can be retrieved and used directly.

There were no changing rooms here, so Ling Mengxue found a secluded corner and used magic to change her clothes.

The next second, a silver-haired Magical Girls holding a magic book and wearing a dark blue starry robe appeared in sight.

The girl had long, flowing hair, and her large, clear blue eyes were bright and sparkling, like the moon, ethereal and otherworldly.

Ling Mengxue took out her Spatial Shuttle Mirror and examined herself closely, then couldn't help but smile, "You're so cute, Master. (//?//)"

She wore a purple gauze witch's dress, her skin was as smooth as jade, and she had an otherworldly and refined air about her, which felt a little different from usual.

She appears more domineering and aloof, completely different from Magical Girls. She looks more like a queen of the dark world, with a touch of cold elegance.

Her thin, cherry-red lips were pressed tightly together, shrouded in a faint air of indifference.

In short, looking handsome is all that matters!

She brushed her silver hair aside with her hand, her eyes sparkling. Her ethereal fairy-like aura shifted, instantly gaining a touch of captivating charm that stirred the heart.

Reluctantly putting away the Spatial Prism Mirror, Ling Mengxue then began to examine the magic book.

This witch's outfit seems to have its own aura, impervious even to the mist, which perfectly isolates it from the outside world. It even seems to have its own layer of protection, so there's no need to worry about environmental issues.

The magic book is predominantly purple-blue in color, radiating a faint halo. The cover features a pattern of intertwined stars and moon, making it incredibly magnificent. Just looking at it gives one a sense of sacredness and solemnity, suggesting it's a rather powerful item.

[Item: The Silver-Haired Witch's Grimoire ☆]

[Quality: Legendary]

[Introduction: Legend has it that this is a supreme magic book treasured by the Silver-Haired Witch in various Dark Secret Realms, which incorporates countless magical wonders from around the world.]

Rumors circulate in the dark alleys; on Ping'an Street at midnight, the moon hangs in the inky sky, silently watching over this ancient street with its uneven buildings... Legend has it that it is inhabited by the dead, headless zombies, and a mummy girl who has been lost for a thousand years...

The treasures and supernatural illustrations within the hidden realm are coveted by nightmare creatures, containing divine skills such as 'Eye of True Sight,' 'Prophecy Art,' and 'Divine Evolution Spell,' capable of dispelling all illusions...

Explore freely, and may you find a ray of light in the depths of darkness, hehehe--(Note: future tense)]

"..."

"A legendary quality magic book?"

"You've got something!"

Ling Mengxue was slightly surprised. She casually flipped through the book, which was filled with densely packed tiny runes, but she didn't recognize any of them. In any case, none of them were in the 'Xinhua Dictionary'.

But a strange problem arose: she couldn't understand the words, yet she could somehow understand the content!

It's amazing, amazing, like... magic?

After putting the items away, Ling Mengxue didn't linger and walked into the mist with the 'Soul Lamp' in her hand.

The fog was very light in the alley ahead, and you could almost see the intersection with the naked eye. There were many faint lights twinkling, which should be young people who came to explore.

Hey, I have to say, there are a lot of people here. There are even quite a few barbecue stalls and snack vendors. One stall has Soul Lamp lit on it, and the sign says pork kidneys for 500 yuan a skewer...

Ling Mengxue even saw a fortune teller whose divination slip had things like "Gate of Life" and "Gate of Death" written on it, and he emphasized that if the prediction was inaccurate, she would get a full refund!

Goodness, if you can't calculate it accurately, why would they come back to you for a refund?

"When is Brother Nan coming back? Why are you taking so long to go to the bathroom?"

"He's probably just going to take a dump. This is the edge of the fog, there's no danger here. Just send him a message to remind him."

"Hey? Look, that person up ahead is dressed so strangely, like a witch. Does she have some kind of identity?"

On the street corner, several students in university uniforms were resting. One of the girls saw Ling Mengxue and couldn't help but ask curiously.

"She looks familiar, maybe she's Magical Girls!"

"Magical Girls? Are we that lucky? To run into someone like that here, should we go say hello?"

The group whispered among themselves, their eyes gleaming with delight. If they could get a little help from the Magical Girls, they could practically roam freely in this area—and they might even be able to explore it further!

Actually, there's a rule on Ping'an Street: unless you're traveling in a group, try to avoid contact with strangers to prevent unnecessary "trouble," because you can't guarantee that the person you encounter... isn't even a "person"!

[Img=700,381]htt Chapter 41 "Extremely High" IQ?

Of course, aside from personnel in the Special Affairs Bureau, Astral Mark Girl and Magical Girls are undoubtedly figures of lofty justice in the eyes of ordinary people.

Words like friendly, kind, beautiful, and generous have almost become their symbols. If you happen to meet one, you're unlikely to be refused when you ask her for help, especially in dangerous situations.

As Ling Mengxue was heading towards her destination step by step according to the address, several young men and women suddenly followed behind her.

They looked like students from a nearby university, and they all had smiles on their faces.

"Miss, are you going inside? Could you take us with you?" a short-haired girl asked expectantly.

After she finished speaking, the three companions next to the girl nodded excitedly, clearly full of enthusiasm for the adventure to come.

"Little sister, to tell you the truth, I am actually a 'player'. I was once caught in a secret realm in Ping'an Street and almost died there. Fortunately, a magic lady passed by and rescued some of us chosen ones, otherwise we would really be dead."

Before Ling Mengxue could speak, another boy suddenly stepped forward with a smile, rolled up his sleeves, and revealed a blood-red emblem on his arm.

"..."

She recognized it because she had seen it online before.

Those chosen by the secret realm are basically doomed to die, but to encounter Magical Girls like this is truly a stroke of luck...

"So... is there something you need?" Ling Mengxue asked, somewhat puzzled.

Despite her thoughts, she decided to follow the normal procedure. She used her 'Eye of True Sight' to check, and found that these teenagers were just ordinary people with virtually no fighting ability. They were probably just bored and looking for excitement, so they came in.

Wait, we need to remove the "also"!

Of course, the main reason is that this place is very close to the exit, so they seem to be quite well-behaved. If they had rushed in recklessly, they probably wouldn't have been able to come back.

"Little sister, we noticed you came in alone. Are you a Magical Girls? Actually, we'd like to explore this street more thoroughly, but apart from Qiu-ge being the chosen one, we're all just ordinary people with no fighting ability whatsoever..."

The short-haired girl spoke with anticipation, seemingly really wanting to go inside and explore; she practically had "Can you take us in?" written all over her face.

"Is it alright? Can we be serious? My name is Zhao Ping. We are all students from Star Prefecture University and members of the Paranormal Society. We came here to conduct research."

"Zhao Ping?" Ling Mengxue was taken aback. Had she encountered someone with the same name?

"Yes, yes." Zhao Ping nodded, surprised that the young lady addressed her so warmly. It seemed like things were going well! While thinking, she took out an official document.

Ling Mengxue glanced at him from afar, surprised at how professional he seemed. However, professional as he was, she still shook her head and said, "Sorry, I don't like talking to strangers. If you have nothing else to do, please leave quickly. I don't plan to leave after this trip."

"Ah?"

This time, not only Zhao Ping, but even several of her friends were stunned when they heard this.

What does this mean?

Are you not planning to leave after coming here?

Are they preparing to fight those monsters to the death?

"Little sister, are you kidding me?" Zhao Ping looked incredulous; to be honest, she doubted she had heard correctly.

Ling Mengxue remained silent, which was tantamount to her acquiescence.

She has no intention of leaving, at least not in the short term. She plans to settle here, open a shop to build brand awareness, and cultivate good relationships with her neighbors...

With so much to do, I probably won't be able to leave for at least two weeks, and I won't be leaving easily either.

The mission is there, but the wonderful world shouldn't be missed either!

Just then, a bespectacled, refined-looking young man rushed up from behind Zhao Ping and the others. A faint smile played on his lips, but as the man drew closer, the almost imperceptible smile vanished, replaced by panic.

"Brother Qiu, we have to run! There are monsters chasing us!"

Turning around and seeing the person who had come, Zhao Ping was immediately taken aback. "Brother Nan, weren't you just going to the restroom? How did you end up encountering a monster?"
