Chapter 48: Goal Achieved!

Walking through the spacious and magnificent castle, Frieren felt her eyes could barely take it all in.

The reason was simple: there were simply too many magical items here!

Although she had once seen some human noble palaces and castles, this was the first time she had encountered a building decorated everywhere with magic barriers, from the stairway red carpets to the stone pillars and chandeliers, all composed of magic tools.

On the magnificent corridor, Lin Yu led the way ahead; noticing Frieren's expression, he couldn't help but smile slightly.

"Actually, I originally intended to turn this place into a mage tower, but after taking in the residents of Ridge Peak Territory and gaining the title of Forest Lord, I had to build it to match the status."

"... Mage tower?"

Frieren looked at Lin Yu with some confusion.

Lin Yu explained with a smile: "It is a building where mages practice daily. If you are interested, I can build one for you."

Frieren thought for a moment, then shook her head: "Better not. Living in a tower draws too much attention. My teacher instructed me that before killing the Demon King in the future, I must not seek fame in history; I must—"

"Must live incognito and keep a low profile, right?"

Lin Yu sighed: "Then let's not talk about that. This time you came, how long do you plan to stay?"

Frieren said calmly: "I don't mind. As long as I can study magic, I can stay as long as you like."

"However, my teacher probably won't allow me to stay too long. She has always been like this; no matter what the matter, she makes decisions quickly, as if something were chasing her from behind..."

"It is time," Lin Yu said softly. "Humans have a limit on their lifespan; their time is scarce, with no room for delay, unlike you elves. For things you don't want to decide on, even dragging it out for hundreds of years is fine."

"... You seem to understand humans very well."

Frieren looked at Lin Yu's pointed ears: "I have never seen an elf like you before."

It seemed Fu Fu Lamei hadn't told her disciple his identity...

Lin Yu glanced at her, shook his head, and said: "I am not like you."

Saying this, he stopped, pushed open the door before him, and smiled lightly: "This is Fu Fu Lamei's old room. You can choose to live with her, or choose to live in the next..."

"I choose the next room!"

Frieren said without hesitation.

Lin Yu nodded, took out an alchemy wristwatch, and handed it to Frieren: "Wear this wristwatch, and you can pass through all powerful barriers below the third floor. The watch comes with a built-in map; you can check it anytime if you get lost."

"Additionally, the bookshelves in the room are connected to the library, which contains the magic books I have collected over these years..."

Hearing this, Frieren's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly said: "That's enough!"

Lin Yu was momentarily speechless; after a moment, he nodded: "Very good."

After ten years, Lin Yu finally met the first friend he had made in this world.

He originally thought Fu Fu Lamei would have many words to say to him, but unexpectedly, this fellow played with Lord Lord Longlongyan for several hours, then ran to Ridge Peak Castle to reunite with his old comrade Dai Meng.

Regarding this, Lin Yu was initially somewhat dissatisfied, but on second thought, he understood Fu Fu Lamei's intention.

Fu Fu Lamei's trip to Ridge Peak Territory, besides visiting Lin Yu as a friend, was also to have him recognize Frieren, so that after her death, she could leave that Holy Scripture to Frieren.

To achieve this goal, she deliberately sent herself away so that Lin Yu and Frieren could be alone together.

But unfortunately, she underestimated Lin Yu's book collection volume and also underestimated her own disciple's love for magic.

From entering the room in the daytime until now, when the moon hung high in the sky, Frieren had not stepped out of the room even once.

For a full ten hours, except for having a magic puppet deliver meals, she didn't even open the door, staying in the room the whole time, studying those rare magic books in the library.

This undoubtedly caused Fu Fu Lamei's calculations to fail completely.

However, from another perspective, this also allowed Lin Yu to free up time on schedule.

After all, Fu Fu Lamei's visit time was somewhat unfortunate, falling exactly on the day before completing the stage task.

According to the time flow difference between Frieren's world and the Chat Group, around nine o'clock tonight would be the second day of the Chat Group, which is when the daily activity resets to zero!

Time reached nine oh six; Lin Yu opened the Chat Group on schedule and sent a message.

Su Su Haoming, Fan Xian, and Xiang Yunye followed closely behind, stating they were also online.

The four, with perfect tacit understanding, finished greeting each other and immediately began uploading new Group Files.

As early as the first day of joining the group, Lin Yu discovered that uploading Group Files not only increased points and contribution value but also increased daily activity.

This method of gaining activity was much faster than just chatting in the group.

Therefore, before today, Lin Yu had already given them quite a bit of unuploaded magical knowledge so they could gain activity and points to purchase invitation letters by uploading Group Files.

【Group Member 'Su Su Haoming' has uploaded Group File 'Spirit Seed Chapter'】

【Group Member 'Xiang Yunye' has uploaded Group File 'Irreversible Theory'】

【Group Member 'Fan Xian' has uploaded Group File...】

In an instant, messages popped up in the Chat Group, and the activity on the Group File Realm interface was rising rapidly.

About ten seconds later, the total activity of the Chat Group finally broke through the limit of ten thousand!

"Detected that the stage goal has been achieved; unlocking new group functions..."

"Group Function 【Group Red Packet】 unlocked; welcome all group members to try it enthusiastically!"

【Su Su Haoming:...】

【Su Su Haoming: That's it?】

【Fan Xian: What about the promised new group members?】

【Xiang Yunye: It's okay. I took a look; Group Red Packets can transmit items across worlds. In the future, if we want to trade across worlds, we won't need to waste points buying invitation letters.】

【Su Su Haoming: Of course I know that!】

【Su Su Haoming: But just one Group Red Packet is too little, right?】

【Fan Xian: +1】

【Su Su Haoming: Where is Lin Dage? Hurry out and give a sharp critique!】

Lin Yu did not appear to offer a sharp critique, because a brand-new message popped up in the chat window before him.

【Detected that group member 'Lin Yu' has met the contribution threshold. Shall the Administrator Trial be opened?】

【Yes/No】

Lin Yu regarded the pop-up window before him with keen interest.

Judging from the information revealed by the pop-up, the hard requirement to open the Administrator Trial is contribution points.

Yet his contribution points were not much different from before; at most, they had increased by less than two hundred.

Therefore, he deduced that opening this Administrator Trial must have other hidden conditions, such as achieving a milestone goal or advancing the chat group to the next stage...

"I just don't know if the trial opens permanently, or if only one person can be added per stage."

While thinking this in his heart, Lin Yu chose to open the trial.

In an instant, a brilliant silver light bloomed in his mind, seeming intent on swallowing his consciousness and transporting him to another world... hmm?

Why can't I be transported?

The brilliant silver light desperately tried to cover Lin Yu's consciousness, but this consciousness was truly too vast; the silver light had barely covered a fraction when more consciousness surged forth from the original universe, seemingly endless.

"So it is mental or rather soul transportation?"

Lin Yu was somewhat surprised, then disregarded the terrifying suction force brought by the silver light and said calmly, "Wait a moment."

Having spoken, he waved his hand, opened a teleportation gate leading to his internal universe, let his clone step out to remain in the castle in his place, and only then gave up resistance, following that force into another world.

The daily content was indeed a bit watered down, so I'm adding an extra chapter.
