CHAPTER 561: 558, THE RICHER, THE STINGIER? (4/4)

"Mission Released!"

[Viewing Room Mission——Magic Invasion]

[Spells and magical artifacts already exist, so naturally, magic too should make an appearance.]

[Mission Objective: Bring virtual into reality, acquire one item from the Magic World, and let "Harry Potter" reach 500 viewers.]

[Completion Reward: Forbidden Magic——Necromancy]

"It’s finally here!"

Wen Ping habitually exclaimed this, and then looked at the mission briefing. In reality, if the system didn’t actively release a mission, he was thinking about going to the Mission Hall to pick up a couple. Since there’s a mission now, there’s no need to bother.

Overall, the mission isn’t difficult because there’s no time constraint, and it’s quite interesting for it involves acquiring something from the Magic World, and the reward is even more intriguing, forbidden magic—Necromancy.

Wen Ping asked, "By the way, has there been any change in the fees, system?"

The system responded: "Previously the Viewing Room was 20 Gold Coins per hour, and the Immersion Zone was 100 Gold Coins per hour. With the advent of the newly modified area, probabilities have increased, hence the prices have also gone up. The Viewing Room is now 2000 Gold Coins per hour, and the Immersion Zone is 1 White Crystal per hour. Since each ’Harry Potter’ movie is relatively short in duration, the cost for a single viewing session is 5000 Gold Coins per film, and the Immersion Zone viewing is three White Crystals per film."

Wen Ping sighed, "This price is a bit steep."

The system echoed back: "The Viewing Room can serve as a new Cultivation Area, or be compared to a new Wind Valley, hence this price is actually pretty cheap. Plus, the host shouldn’t underestimate the disciples’ and elders’ ability to earn White Crystals. The disciples’ realms are generally nearing the Profound Realm, in addition to mastering Sword Control Skills and similar magic, making them not much different in prowess to those in the Profound Realm, earning White Crystals isn’t hard."

Wen Ping nodded and said, "I’m not underestimating them, they are all richer than me!"

Regardless of how much he earns, he spends it on sect development, benefiting the entire sect.

As for Yang Lele, they really don’t have much to use for personal development.

Following that, Wen Ping went straight up to the second floor, checked various rooms, and then picked a viewing area, ready to spend 5000 Gold Coins to watch a ’Harry Potter’ movie to rediscover that long-lost feeling.

Unexpectedly, before he even started watching, the system’s teasing voice came through.

"As a system, I have to say again, the richer you get, the stingier you become, host. There are three to four thousand usable White Crystals in your Storage Ring, yet you’re reluctant to spend a few to enter the Immersion Zone."

"If you didn’t charge me 50 White Crystals for buying the entire Harry Potter Collection, I’d use White Crystals in the Immersion Zone to watch all eight movies directly!"

Wen Ping replied, then sat on the soft sofa and put on the glasses.

’Harry Potter’ Part One, the full name is ’Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone’, the first time watching this movie, it was simply an eye-opener for everyone.

Everyone fell in love with this magical world.

Of course, Wen Ping was definitely not an exception.

Compared to grand spectacle-filled shows like ’Immortal Slayer’, ’Harry Potter’ seemed less thrilling, but its world opened up an incredibly powerful charm.

Then, the scene suddenly went black, a familiar sign of Diagon Alley appeared. That is where Harry Potter would live, and it was also where his miserable childhood began. Following that, a warm, friendly white-bearded old man, Dumbledore, appeared. With glasses on, he held something that didn’t exist in the Muggle World and began collecting streetlights into it one by one...

For Dumbledore, Wen Ping really had a special liking. He was kind, foresighted, wise, and strong. Honestly, having such a perfect person, Wen Ping felt it was incredible.

If talking about feelings, Wen Ping thought that it was Dumbledore’s presence that transformed the shy and weak Harry Potter into an excellent mage. He was like a beacon lighting the way forward for Harry Potter. Of course, Harry Potter’s growth and companions, along with friends, were also intricately linked, but from the plot, Dumbledore’s contribution was huge.

Then, the most simple-minded Hagrid appeared. He was carrying baby Harry Potter, and even though reluctant, Hagrid handed him over to Dumbledore, placing him by his aunt’s doorstep.

And so the story began...

...

Kitchen.

As night fell, Yun Liao and the others had been down the mountain several times in recent days. Of course, they weren’t worried about Murong Qing doing anything to the Immortal Sect, but they were concerned he might tamper with the City Lord’s Mansion.

However, seeing Murong Qing squatting in the dilapidated inn every day, with people guarding the City Lord’s Mansion, they were reassured.

Shi Hua, having recuperated for a few days, had regained her usual state, starting to follow Zhao Yi in cleaning the sect to earn regular cultivation times. Actually, Zhao Yi no longer needed to rely on cleaning the sect to earn routine cultivation times; taking tasks from the Task Hall or visiting Wind Valley’s earnings far exceeded his daily consumption. Cleaning the sect was just something he wanted to do.

For Shi Hua, worrying about Gold Coins wasn’t the issue right now; Zhao Yi and others could lend her some, and repaying them later wouldn’t be difficult. The only thing to face now was the choice between the wind and fire of the Anomalous Vein, as well as the choice between Magic and Vein Technique.

As for Bainian Xiang, she didn’t need to make such choices; she had enough White Crystals to handle both simultaneously.

Get the wind first, use it; get fire first, use it.

"Where’s the Sect Leader?"

As Huai Ye called everyone for dinner, people snapped out of their engrossed conversations.

Zhantian Qingxuan said, "Sect Leader is probably off cultivating again, does anyone know where he is? Wang..."

He wanted to ask Uncle Wang, but remembering Uncle Wang’s ears, Zhantian Qingxuan chose not to say it aloud.

Everyone shook their heads, indicating they didn’t know.

Yang Lele responded, "Haven’t seen him all afternoon."

"Maybe he’s in the Viewing Room." At that moment, Luo Mi thoughtfully responded, "I remember passing by the Viewing Room, and it was open. Is it possible a new TV show came out, and the Sect Leader is watching it, so he forgot about dinner time?"

"That must be it then."

"The Sect Leader is probably watching a new TV show."

"Everyone, go ahead and eat, I’ll make another dish for the Sect Leader."

After saying that, Huai Ye went back into the kitchen.

This time, after most people went upstairs, they ate particularly quickly, even Huai Ye cooked especially fast.

Bainian Xiang and the new people didn’t quite understand.

Because these days, while eating, everyone enjoyed the process thoroughly, and there was a lot of conversation that would last a long time.

Until Yang Lele finished eating first, stood up, and said, "Elders and fellow disciples, take your time eating, I’m heading to the Viewing Room first!"

With that, he dashed down the stairs like the wind.
