After finishing up, Lan Qingyou entered the tent to inspect it.
She noticed that the energy had dropped by a few points, which was well within the acceptable range, proving that the defensive capabilities of this Magic Tent were truly formidable.
She then took a photo of the core and sent it to the group chat.
Tower: "Why does the core we made have a full one hundred thousand energy points?"
Star: "Probably because I added a two-fold amplification enchantnt to it. After all, a basic defensive magic rune alone might struggle to withstand the impact of certain monsters."
Tower: "I see. I was wondering why it seed a bit beyond the standard specifications."
Star: "Heh, that is the beauty of enchanting, you know. If you want to make more of these, I really think you should study enchanting."
Tower: "I previously selected a book on basic enchanting."
Star: "I have that stuff too. You just had to say the word, why waste an opportunity?"
Tower: "Might as well grab it while I can. I have plenty of empty bookshelves anyway."
Although she knew that borrowing books among scholars was a common affair, unless there was an urgent need to learn sothing, Lan Qingyou had no intention of borrowing normally.
Even if the people of Tarot Villa were not so particular about such things, in her mind, it still felt like owing a favor.
High Priestess: "Wow, a Magic Protective Shield? Did Tower make this herself?"
Hierophant: "What! Tower can already create Magic Protective Shields?"
Empress: "You actually made one?"
Judgent: "One hundred thousand energy points, and a two-fold amplification enchantnt? It seems your collaboration has yielded sothing truly remarkable this ti."
Star: "Hahahaha, of course! Just look at who I am working with. She is a Witch, after all!"
Ruan Qingyi declared, entirely carried away by her own triumph.
Tower: "Let us be real. Compared to the Cards created by the collaboration of Magician, High Priestess, and Wheel of Fortune, what does our little project amount to?"
Judgent: "It is different. Cards cannot be mass-produced, but your creation can. That point alone is enough to consider it a great invention."
Judgent: "On behalf of the Supre Council, I would like to order one hundred thousand tents. I wonder if you two can accept this commission."
Star: "No way, man, are you trying to kill ?"
Star was startled, seeing Chu Yuan make such a massive request for the first ti.
It was no joke. Making just one tent took her half a day, and she even had to squeeze it into the ti she normally spent enjoying Gu Xiaobei's dinner.
Yet he opened his mouth and asked for a hundred thousand of them. If that was not asking for her life, what was?
Tower: "This is not the first or second ti he has done this. Just ignore him, ignore him."
Rembering how Chu Yuan would casually demand vast quantities of Kerosene and Potions in the past, Lan Qingyou could not help but twitch her lips.
There was no denying that these were all excellent items, and exactly what they needed.
Unfortunately, this guy was a mber of the Supre Council, an existence capable of proposing such plans and representing that very organization.
But even if Lan Qingyou had three heads and six arms, she could not possibly manufacture that many items.
It would be a different story if she had magic puppets to help her.
This was exactly why she wanted to learn how to construct magic puppets as quickly as possible.
Wheel of Fortune: "Not necessarily."
At this mont, Chariot chid into the conversation.
Tower: "Hmm?"
Star: "What do you an?"
Wheel of Fortune: "I took a look at that magic-patterned Cloth of yours. It should be possible to mass-produce it using machinery, right? As long as chanical energy can be applied, Chariot's side should be able to figure out a way to build the right machines."
Wheel of Fortune: "Once the magic-patterned Cloth can be mass-produced, the rest is up to Tower to figure out."
Wheel of Fortune: "I am not entirely sure of the exact situation on Tower's end, but as long as the previously ntioned magic puppets can be developed, there should be a way to handle both the enchantnts and the Magic Circuits. When that happens, mass production will rely be a matter of ti."
With Esralda breaking it down step by step, many felt her logic was flawless.
However, soone else noticed a flaw while reading the ssages.
Chariot: "@Wheel of Fortune, the chanical aspect is not an issue. Building sothing like a loom is hardly a difficult task. But expecting magic puppets to draw enchantnts and Magic Circuits? Isn't that a bit of a stretch?"
As a master chanic, Orff's expertise in machinery was naturally top-notch.
Whipping up a makeshift loom was nothing to him. As long as it was configured correctly, it could even handle the magic patterns with one hundred percent accuracy.
Therefore, he was not worried about that part. But relying on magic puppets to write and draw felt sowhat unreliable to him.
He was not entirely sure what magic puppets were, but he knew they also fell under the category of machinery.
In his understanding, they were similar to robots. Expecting such things to draw complex magical designs sounded downright crazy.
It was not as if they ran on AI programming.
However, Esralda did not argue. She simply sent a brief ssage.
Wheel of Fortune: "[Magic Directives]. As long as we have this, it will work."
'Magic Directives?'
Lan Qingyou froze the mont she saw it. She was not the only one; the others had the exact sa reaction.
High Priestess: "Wait! Where is the word 'Basic'?"
Exactly. This book was not foundational. In the past, many knowledge books would carry the word "Basic" in their titles, but this one did not.
Whether it was Lan Qingyou or anyone else, none of them had ever encountered such a situation before.
Wheel of Fortune: "I do not know. It was like this when I found it."
'Alright, found it. So it wasn't an optional reward,' she thought.
Everyone let out a soft sigh.
Unlike system rewards, items discovered on one's own were undoubtedly incredibly rare. Or rather, just being able to find sothing like this was already a massive achievent.
There was a reason she was a Diviner. She could track down amazing items simply through divination.
That kind of luck was sothing one could only envy.
Tower: "Then let Star read it first. I will not need it on my end until I start making the magic puppets anyway."
Star: "No way, you read it first. The longer you read it, the more experience you will gain. Do I not also have to wait until your magic puppets are finished before I can use it?"
Ruan Qingyi did not mind at all. After all, without the magic puppets, reading the book would be useless to her. Thus, Lan Qingyou reading it first was the logical order of things.
Tower: "Alright then, I will read it first."
Lan Qingyou did not stand on ceremony either. After all, everything hinged on the production of the magic puppets.
High Priestess: "@Wheel of Fortune, what exactly is this Magic Directives study?"
Wheel of Fortune: "It is sothing akin to computer coding. I cannot understand a word of it, anyway. Staring at it for too long just gives a headache."
High Priestess: "Interesting. @Tower @Star, let have a look when you two are done with it."
Tower: "No problem."
Star: "Sure."
Death: "@Tower, I saw your photo. May I ask a personal question?"
Right at that mont, Li Huai suddenly popped up, sending a ssage that had absolutely nothing to do with the "academic" conversation above.
'The photo?'
'Was it the photo of sitting on a broomstick in my Witch outfit? Or the photo of testing the Magic Tent?'
For a mont, her curiosity was piqued.
'Could this guy want to order a tent too?'
'That makes sense. For a battle maniac, returning to base every day is indeed a bit of a ti-waster, and it restricts their radius of activity.'
'With a tent, the sky would be the limit and the ocean wide enough for any fish to swim freely.'
So, she slowly typed out a question mark.
But who could have expected...
Death: "I want to ask... back in the beginning, were you the rumored green phantom of District 666?"
