I, a cultivator, have ended up in the wizarding world.

Chapter 245 The Old Man
A few months after registering, Jieming received a system notification from "Jiaojiedian" on his personal terminal.

A brief message informed him that a new interdimensional war was about to begin, and all registered wizards must go to the assembly point within a specified time to prepare to participate in the interdimensional war.

Having learned from the lesson of the last interdimensional war, in which encountering a living dimension resulted in spending decades outside, Jemin made many preparations in advance this time.

Before setting off, he spent a lot of time arranging his "Golden Garden," underground laboratory, and incubation pool in the Purgatory Sulfur Plane in an orderly manner.

He not only upgraded all the defensive magic arrays and stored enough energy to last for hundreds of years, but also issued a series of automated commands to the lava giants that had already hatched and the black giants that had not yet fully grown.

In this way, Jemin could ensure that even if he were to leave for hundreds or even thousands of years, his home base would be fine even without him as the pillar of support.

After everything was arranged, Jemin stepped into the teleportation array with peace of mind.

Having learned from his previous experience, this time Jemin went directly to the giant plaza outside the Border Point Affairs Center.

The huge square was not yet crowded; there were only a few thousand people scattered around, making it seem rather empty.

The surrounding spatial teleportation arrays, which were as dense as a spider web, constantly flashed with various colored lights.

Wizards of all shapes and sizes emerged one after another and gathered in the square.

Jemin found a relatively quiet corner, leaned against a cold metal pillar, and began to close his eyes to rest and adjust his mental state.

He focused his mind and once again took stock of the various combat reserves in his internal space.

After an unknown amount of time, just as Jemin was categorizing and organizing the rows of magical potions, artifacts, and backup energy pools, he suddenly felt as if a gaze filled with curiosity and inquiry was constantly being cast upon him.

The other party didn't seem to have any malicious intent, nor did they seem to be trying to hide anything. Even with his eyes closed, Jemin could clearly feel the other party's gaze.

A thought struck Jemin, and he opened his eyes, looking in the direction of the gaze.

Not far away, a wizard dressed in alchemical armor, who looked rather young, was peeking in their direction.

When he saw the other person, Jemin frowned involuntarily.

Because he felt that the other person looked somewhat familiar, but upon closer reflection, he couldn't quite place them.

In fact, it wasn't just the wizard staring at him.

Even the other wizards in the small group of seven or eight wizards that the other party was in gave Jemin a sense of déjà vu.

Noticing the scrutinizing gaze from Jemin, the wizard looked even more closely.

After seeing Jemin's appearance clearly, the wizard who had been staring at him suddenly lit up!
Jemin saw him say a few words to a few of his friends, and then he and his friends excitedly walked through the crowd and ran straight toward Jemin.

"Hey kid! Long time no see!"

Seeing the other person greet him with such ease, Jemin, out of his wizarding instincts, became slightly wary.

However, the wizard paid no attention to Jemin's wary state, and still had a hearty smile on his face.

Seeing that Jemin didn't seem to remember him, he couldn't help but remind him, "What? It's only been a few hundred years, have you already forgotten your senior from when you entered school?"

After being reminded by him, it was as if a long-sealed memory gate in Jemin's mind was instantly opened!

He suddenly realized that the wizard in front of him, who seemed to have become much younger, was superimposed on a figure from his memory!
The face of the person in front of him looked very much like that of the alchemy senior he had met when he first entered university, next to the logistics department's exhibition booth in the admissions square—the wizard Jack.

At the same time, Jemin remembered.

The people around Wizard Jack were actually the senior students from the Logistics Department who had graduated and were standing nearby at the time!
However, when they met again, the other person's face looked much younger than it had before, when they had appeared somewhat weathered.

He was no longer wearing the simple wizard's robes he had worn before, but a mechanical exoskeleton armor that exuded a cold, technological feel and shimmered with energy.

More importantly, their social standing is not what Jemin had seen before.

He could clearly sense that the aura emanating from these people had generally reached the level of a second-level wizard.

“Senior Jack?” Jemin asked tentatively.

"Hey! Luckily you didn't really forget me, otherwise we seniors would be really disappointed." Jack grinned.

After receiving an affirmative answer, Jemin quickly bowed and greeted Jack and the other senior students.

Upon recognizing his old friend, a genuine smile appeared on his face.

The two of them weren't actually very familiar with each other. Strictly speaking, they had only met once when Jemin had just entered the wizarding world.

But in any case, this was one of the few "acquaintances" that Jemin had met once in this cold and cruel wizarding world.

"I never expected to meet you seniors here..." While talking to them, Jemin subtly sized up the number of people in the group of "seniors" he had reunited with.

He clearly remembered that there were at least a dozen people in the team on the square.

Now, there are far fewer people than when he first started school, and there are even quite a few new faces among them.

It seems that there were some losses in the interdimensional wars over the years.

However, those who survived were much stronger than they were back then!
Even Jemin was surprised to find that the potions senior, who was only a level three wizard apprentice and seemed the most inconspicuous, was actually a potions senior.

Now, he has become the highest-ranking member of the team—a genuine level three wizard!

When Jack saw that Jemin had really come to his senses, he and the other wizards in the group smiled with relief.

After all, for wizards who never know when they will meet again, even if they have only met once, it is a joyous occasion to meet again in the future.

Jack looked at Jemin more carefully and couldn't help but sigh:

"I really didn't expect this! When we met back then, you were just an ordinary person who knew nothing about wizards. I never imagined that in just a few hundred years, your level would have caught up so much!"

"My judgment was right after all, you're a genius!" said the senior student from the Fu Literature Department, beaming with pride.

"Tch! You say that to every single person you meet, what kind of discerning eye do you have!"

"You disagree?!"

Two members of Jack's team started arguing as usual while they were talking, and the others didn't step in to stop them. In fact, quite a few people were happily fanning the flames.

The commotion attracted the attention of many wizards, since wizards as active as this were indeed rare in wizarding civilization.

Jemin glanced at the team with some envy, then briefly chatted with Jack, the two sharing some of their experiences over the years.

Although they weren't very familiar with each other, they had at least had some social interactions.

Meeting an old friend at this moment, just before heading to the battlefield, is always a pleasant thing.

As they were about to part ways, they exchanged their contact information.

They also agreed that if they encountered any intractable problems during this interdimensional war, both sides could seek each other's support.

Jemin knew that this was Jack taking care of him, since he couldn't possibly support them alone in terms of numbers.

After saying goodbye to Jack and the others, Jemin waited a while longer.

Before long, Jemin was surprised to find that the number of wizards in the square had reached an astonishing level.

He made a rough estimate and felt that the number had exceeded 100,000!
This is far more than the number of wizards who participated in the last Flame Frost Plane War!

Just then, a huge shadow covered the entire square, blocking out the light of day.

All the wizards looked up at the same time.

Between them, the artificially simulated sky at the boundary point was completely covered by a vast, boundless, pitch-black earth!

Jemin knew in his heart that this should be the plane of the "ship" they would be taking on this expedition.

Judging from its size and the color of the land it revealed, this was not the "ship" he had previously used to conquer the Frost Plane.

However, Jemin is no longer the clueless newbie he once was.

He also learned a lot about the "boundary point" by consulting relevant materials.

For example, within the "boundary point," there is more than one such berth used as a "ferry."

The so-called "ship planes" are essentially those planes that have completely lost their value for sustainable development because their original space and various core resources have been excessively exploited.

Ultimately, the wizards reused this abandoned plane, transforming it into a mobile war fortress through various technologies.

These planes were already on the verge of being obsolete, so using them as tools for navigating the endless chaotic void was quite cost-effective.

As far as Jemin knew, the three major powers that established the border point, including Norren Workshop, had each arranged at least several hundred such ship-shaped platforms on this side of the border point as strategic reserves.

If we calculate based on the fact that the border point is attacked once or twice a year, and that it takes an average of twenty to one hundred years to conquer a small to medium-sized plane, then...

With so many "ships," there's absolutely no need to worry about a shortage of "transportation."
