Chapter 266: New Channel, Witch's Tea Party

The Magician, currently in a fit of pique, did not quite understand why Lan Qingyou was asking this.

Magician: "What do you want to do?"

Tower: "I want to create a channel for the Witch Clan. I noticed that many witches have deviations in their common sense, which is very dangerous. Besides, witches also need a place to learn from each other."

Lan Qingyou had this idea right after meeting Susi.

While chatting with Susi back then, she realized that communicating with other witches was incredibly interesting.

So she considered whether she should set up a channel for witches to interact, allowing her to draw inspiration from their conversations.

However, Lan Qingyou initially envisioned buying an activation card for the Magic Desk from Chu Yuan.

But then she thought about it.

Since everyone had an Identity Card, why not just ask if it could be used for this purpose?

Thanks to Lan Qingyou's Analysis Magic Eye, she essentially no longer needed to be bound to a small desk inside her equally small Shelter, except for when she needed the Magic Desk to upgrade the Shelter.

Magician: "You can. The High Priestess and I just finished researching this kind of multi-person group chat. I will speak to the High Priestess and the others later to grant you permission."

Although Tarot Manor also used a multi-person group chat mode.

It was just a trial version, and the number of people had not truly achieved the effect of a multi-person chat.

Therefore, after the barrier was lifted and demand increased, the Magician and his group had been rushing to perfect this feature.

Lan Qingyou happened to catch them at the perfect time.

However, even though the function had been created, because it was jointly developed by several people and to prevent tampering, all three of them needed to agree before granting permission.

Otherwise, if any of the three could directly open it for others, would they not just become power-tripping admins in the group?

High Priestess: "I see it. No problem, just treat it as a pilot test."

Wheel of Fortune: "I would never refuse a witch's request, no matter who else I might reject."

Magician: "Haha, that is true."

With the consent of all three, Lan Qingyou obtained the permission to open a channel with ease.

Once she had permission, Lan Qingyou saw a plus sign appear next to the chat window. After tapping it, a prompt box popped up asking her to fill in the name of the new channel.

Lan Qingyou thought for a moment. 'Since this is an online matter, and we are all witches, it seems I can use that rather classy name.'

Thus, after licking her lips, typing out a string of words, and hitting confirm, a new channel named "Witch's Tea Party" appeared on Lan Qingyou's Card.

After the channel was created, a settings box popped up.

This was for some private settings regarding the channel.

It mainly involved restrictions on joining the group.

After looking it over and grasping the general idea, Lan Qingyou set the joining method to require a face-to-face invitation.

This was primarily to prevent others from sneaking in.

For witches, red eyes were their biggest defining feature.

Moreover, when activating Magic Eye skills, unique patterns would appear.

It was incredibly easy to distinguish them.

Of course, all of this was based on a voluntary premise.

If the invitee did not want to join the group, or simply disliked being disturbed, that was perfectly fine too. After all, not everyone liked to gather in crowds.

Lan Qingyou could completely understand this mindset.

As for Lan Qingyou herself... doing this was mostly to gain inspiration.

Even gathering just one or two ideas would be excellent for her.

"Susi, I created a group chat channel for witches. Do you want to join?"

"A group chat channel?"

Susi paused, not quite understanding what Lan Qingyou meant.

Was this chat channel the kind found on the Magic Desk?

If so, joining it would not be a big deal.

After all, just as Lan Qingyou had mentioned before, communication was the best way for a witch to progress.

If she could discuss Potions, especially poisons, with more witches, it would probably be a wonderful experience.

"Yes, it is on the Card. It is much more convenient."

"Oh! The Card?"

Susi, who had assumed it was on the Magic Desk, paused again before taking out her own Card.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lan Qingyou used the camera function to scan the guild pattern on the back of Susi's Card, much like scanning a QR code.

[Beep! The Witch of the High Tower invites you to join the chat channel "Witch's Tea Party".]

"Hmm! Witch's Tea Party? That is quite an elegant name."

Seeing the prompt box pop up on her Card, Susi could not help but comment.

Hearing this, Lan Qingyou wore a proud expression.

"Right? I thought of the name back when we were installing the Teleportation Array. I just did not use it then, so it fits perfectly here now."

Susi nodded and joined without a second thought.

Seeing that Lan Qingyou's nickname was "Witch of the High Tower," Susi also changed her own nickname to "Witch of Poisons."

Since it was a tea party for witches, it was only natural to present herself as one.

This was called a sense of ritual.

Then... Lan Qingyou, the shameless group owner, granted her admin privileges.

"This is..."

Susi looked at Lan Qingyou in confusion.

"Don't you happen to have experience managing the Adventurer's Guild? Being an admin for a chat group should be more than easy for you."

"..."

Lan Qingyou silenced Susi with a single sentence.

'What do you think management actually is?'

Although managing a chat group was certainly not as complicated as running the Adventurer's Guild, the problem was that giving her more work when she was already the guild master felt somewhat unreasonable.

"You are going to resign anyway, right?"

As if someone had pierced through her inner thoughts, the corners of Susi's eyes twitched slightly before she began to make excuses.

"Who said I am resigning?"

"Ah! Don't you want to level up? Seeing how eager you looked earlier, I thought you planned to resign and focus on leveling up so you could acquire the Soul Siphon magic."

Lan Qingyou gasped, lightly covering her mouth with spread fingers, feigning a highly exaggerated look of surprise.

"..."

Susi remained silent, merely clenching her fists.

'Why do I want to hit someone so badly right now?'

They said some things were better left unsaid, so there was really no need to be this blunt.

Now look at this situation; she was stuck in an awkward position with no graceful way to back down.

"That is not true at all. It is just a mere part-time job, not to the point where I need to resign."

Cornered by Lan Qingyou, the corners of Susi's mouth twitched twice. In the end, she stubbornly maintained her persona, unable to step down from her self-imposed pedestal, leaving Lan Qingyou to sigh inwardly.

It seemed this poison witch, who appeared as strict as a school disciplinarian, was somewhat of a tsundere?

A tsundere, huh? Tsunderes were fine. Being a little more tsundere would not hurt at all.

"By the way, the Tea Party operates on an invitation basis. This means you only need to confirm the other party is a witch and ask for their consent. If they are willing, simply use the camera function on the Card to scan the logo on the back of their Card."
