Chapter Twenty-Seven: There's an Opportunity Here Now

The next day, at the Clock Tower.

"An old man in the house is a treasure," Li Mo now felt that saying was absolutely correct.

After a night's time, through joint exploration with Brishisan, he had a basic understanding of the golden power within his body.

How to put it, it was indeed powerful, better than mana, and the Magecraft used with this power was also stronger, that was true.

But what Magecraft did the divinely talented Li Mo use?

Boom~ Blink Raka, Mana Burst!

But before, when he used mana to unleash this move, those who couldn't block it still couldn't block it, but those who could block it could still block it.

As soon as Ghost Blade activated, hey, move, move, the opponent wasn't a fixed target. With Li Mo's rigid torrent of mana, couldn't the opponent who couldn't block it just run away?

Conclusion 1: It's useless.

Then, Reinforcement Magecraft + Projection Magecraft.

Using the golden power to unleash Reinforcement Magecraft, it was indeed stronger, but...

Brishisan: You're a Magus, not a Berserker!

Continue to use it to strengthen his tongue? Wouldn't that really make him an idiot? With so many changes in power, it's possible his tongue wouldn't be strengthened, and he'd end up with a lisp.

As for Projection Magecraft? Even if the projection was more realistic, wouldn't it still be fake?

Was there a big difference between being thirty percent real and fifty percent real?

Moreover, for Projection, one must understand the item themselves, know its origin, but Li Mo currently, apart from that Holy Grail, could only project everyday items...

Conclusion 2: Still useless!

The remaining ones, like Flower Magecraft, some minor Magecraft learned at the Clock Tower, and the Word Spirit Brishisan taught him... still useless!

How could things that didn't require his own mana to cast be enhanced?

Conclusion 3: Truly useless!

In Brishisan's words, "Young people should immerse themselves in the ocean of knowledge, learn more from what our predecessors passed down, instead of always thinking about Mana Burst and that brutish approach."

Of course, if one were to be serious, Li Mo's gains were actually quite significant.

The essence and quantity of power were different, how could the gains not be significant?

If Li Mo's mana in the past could be considered a hand grenade, then he now was a Dongfeng-5 ballistic missile.

Those who could withstand one of his Mana Burst attacks, there were probably very few in the entire world now!

Moreover, his control over this current power was different. Before, his mana, perhaps due to its immense quantity, had only about 60% efficiency when controlled. But the current golden mana, he could achieve 90% control, feeling like power he cultivated himself!

This alone had made Brishisan envious for a whole night.

Of course, he wouldn't say it out loud, only saying things like "Hmm, not bad," "A bit worse than me. Back then, after cultivating in the ley lines, I mastered the power in just three days."

We don't know the actual facts, but what's certain is that Li Mo's current golden power, and his initial mana, were far superior to Brishisan's.

Putting those things aside, speaking of which, although this golden power didn't seem to offer many benefits to Li Mo at the moment, he did discover the most "nice" point.

That golden power would automatically circulate within his 365 Magic Circuits!

Li Mo already had a rough idea of what this meant.

Everlasting, unending, perhaps after a hundred years, Li Mo would truly become a god!

The prerequisite was that he could survive the Incineration of Humanity in 2014.

"But I wonder when I'll be able to open the world within this Withered Lotus again," Li Mo muttered to himself, carefully placing the Withered Lotus into a box.

Yes, he could no longer enter the world within that Withered Lotus.

After discussing it with Brishisan, he had tried every method, but he still couldn't communicate with the lotus again, nor could he sense the starry world within.

He had tried blood recognition, mental communication, even physical integration!

Perhaps his body's power had reached saturation, and he couldn't absorb more, which was why he couldn't communicate?

Li Mo didn't know; he still hadn't figured out what this lotus was.

But this was the only possibility he could think of.

Composing himself, Li Mo got up and prepared to go out.

He felt Brishisan was right; as a Magus, one shouldn't only know those three basic Magecrafts.

But since he had decided to learn more Magecraft, why not learn Touko's Puppet Magecraft first?

After all, Li Mo had been coveting obedient puppets for a long time!

Aren't there many legendary otaku in the main world who are obsessed with figurines of goddesses from anime and games?

I not only want a life-sized one, but one that can move, talk, obey only me, and warm my bed!

If this were brought to the main world, wouldn't those otaku go crazy?

Imagining a group of otaku shouting, "Give back our goddesses!" "Save the goddesses, beat Li Mo to death!" and then rushing towards him, Li Mo shuddered.

It was too terrifying, so Li Mo decided:

Make two more!

However, just as Li Mo was preparing to leave, with a "snap," Brishisan pushed the door open and walked in.

The emotions he had just mustered instantly collapsed. Li Mo put on a pained expression and said, "Teacher, I'm almost an adult now. Can you please knock before barging in next time!"

Brishisan seemed to recall something, backed out of the room, and closed the door behind him again.

"You continue. Call me when you're done."

Li Mo: ???

A few seconds later, Li Mo finally understood.

Looking up at the sky, Teacher Brishisan seems to have misunderstood something!

He got up, opened the door, and rushed out of the room in one smooth motion!

"Teacher Brishisan, please let me explain!"

In the living room, Brishisan, holding a book on Magecraft, turned to look at Li Mo. His expression remained unchanged as he said, "You don't need to explain anything. I've been through your age too, I understand what you want to say."

Immediately after, Brishisan stood up, his face contorted as he said, "Mō-san, it's natural for young people to have such impulses, but precisely because you're young, you need to learn to control yourselves and not go down those crooked paths!"

Brishisan spoke with earnest sincerity, but Li Mo's forehead developed more and more dark lines...

Then... "Teacher, that's enough! Can you just say what you need to say quickly!"

I haven't done anything strange at all, okay? Li Mo said aggrievedly.

"Alright~" Brishisan's contorted face relaxed, and he said seriously, "Haven't you always wanted to learn true magic?

Now there's an opportunity, it depends on whether you want it or not."
