However, as a genius in the demonic path, she was not discouraged by this.

It wasn't that she couldn't see the gap between herself and Su Mo, but rather that she was too aware of that gap, so she couldn't muster any competitive spirit.

Faced with a gap greater than heaven and earth, she could only look up in awe.

On this point, Erica shares the same thought as Rin.

She might look down on the Godslayer because she is too young, but she would never look down on Su Mo, who can generate divine power in a few minutes.

While a matter of ability might be solved with luck, a matter of academic ability cannot.

Just like with math, if you don't know it, you just don't know it.

Erica: "Compared to you, even my unparalleled god-slayers are nothing more than wild beasts indulging their instincts."

She exclaimed with such admiration, as if looking up at a towering mountain.

On the other hand, although Madoka couldn't understand the meaning of Su Mo's words like Rin Tohsaka and Erica, she could still tell from their attitudes how profound Su Mo's so-called small insights were.

So, the naive girl couldn't help but have a question.

[Xiaoyuan: "This amazing older brother, was he really just an ordinary person before?"]

It's unbelievable no matter how you look at it.

An ordinary person, upon first encountering magic, achieved what others could not accomplish in decades.

Is this reasonable?

Upon hearing this, everyone else's curiosity was piqued.

Is this really not some max-level pro pretending to be a newbie and teasing them?

Soon, Su Mo's answer made them put aside this unrealistic conjecture.

[Su Mo: "I am indeed an ordinary person."]

[Su Mo: "It's just that I have a slightly better understanding of occult materials and a slightly higher level of comprehension."]

Upon hearing this, a unified reply appeared in the group chat.

Erica: "?"

Kanae: "?"

Rin Tohsaka: "?"

Xiaoyuan: "?"

Rin Tohsaka: "A little bit? You call that a little bit?"

Erica: "Oh! I get it, it's a tiny bit!"

[Rin Tohsaka: "A universe at your fingertips, huh? That's way too far off."]

[Xiao Yuan: "Big brother is being too modest."]

Speechless at Su Mo's answer, everyone started making fun of him.

As for Xiaoyuan's question, a little thought reveals that it's completely impossible.

Su Mo's strength was determined by the chat group, and his status as an ordinary person in the ordinary world is beyond doubt.

As for why an ordinary person can be so powerful, it can only be attributed to their good luck in encountering a rising big shot.

As for the possibility that Su Mo is some kind of powerful figure who can block chat group detection, there's no need to even think about it.

If it's someone of that caliber, they simply won't be able to spot the flaws.

Seeing that the chat content had turned from answering questions into meaningless chatter, Su Mo immediately left the chat interface.

He doesn't mind chatting to relax, nor does he mind answering other people's questions.

However, today was his first time encountering the extraordinary world, and there were still many things he wanted to verify.

Seeing that he didn't respond, the others continued chatting without disturbing him.

Are you kidding me? Who would dare waste the time of such a big shot?

With the wisdom Su Mo has demonstrated, a simple deduction is enough to optimize the skills of their world to the extreme, and any little thing he does is enough to change their strength or even their destiny.

In this situation, the best strategy is to cultivate a good relationship with the bigwigs.

Even a few melons peeking out from between their fingers are enough to change their own fate, or even the fate of the entire world.

After exiting the chat interface, Su Mo reopened the group store.

Having solved the initial magic problem, he finally had the foundation and the energy to study those spells with different abilities.

After all, technique and principle are inherently interdependent.

Even the simplest magic skill may contain the essence of an entire magic system.

"Since it's a magic extraction method from the Godslayer world, let's first study the magic system of the Godslayer world."

With that in mind, after observing for a while, Su Mo quickly selected his target from the many skills sold by Erica.

A support spell that costs only 200 points and is not classified as a tier—[Hermes' Boots].

Originally, Su Mo's points balance was reduced to a single-digit number after purchasing the Magic Refining Method. However, after Erica purchased the [Magic Refining Master Edition], he now had over a thousand points, more than enough to purchase such a small skill.

After successfully purchasing the item, the instructions on how to use the [Hermes' Boots] immediately came to Su Mo's mind.

After successfully mastering this magic at the first moment, Su Mo did not rush to try it out. Instead, as before, he began to analyze the underlying principles.

"The incantation of Hermes' name seems to be more than just psychological suggestion; it appears to be using idol worship to gain power?"

Su Mo immediately understood the principle behind this magic.

In mysticism, idol worship is a fairly common practice. Just as most temples enshrine statues of gods, people do not believe that the sculpted statues are the real gods, but they also naively believe that even if the imitations do not have the exact same power as the originals, they should at least have one percent of the power.

The same goes for this [Hermes' Boots]. Even if this magic doesn't have the power of the god himself, it must have at least one percent of it, right?

This kind of magic, built around the law of similarity, is widespread in major religions around the world and is not unusual.

The only thing that Su Mo found amusing was that this magic was actually Erica's commonly used magic.

"If it were just a rule prohibiting idolatry based on the cross, that would be one thing, since they themselves almost never follow that rule anyway. But strictly speaking, the worship of the cross, the Son of God, and the Virgin Mary should all be condemned as heresy."

"But Erica is, after all, a descendant of the Knights Templar and a follower of the Church. How can she so openly borrow the power of a heretical god like Hermes, and the Church doesn't even object?"

The moment this question arose, Su Mo recalled the basic settings of the Godslayer world.

"That's right! With heretical gods appearing from time to time, and demon kings like god-slayers existing, they don't seem to have any ability to express their opposition."

Coupled with the Protestant Reformation, the church in the Godslayer world is probably so weak that it dares not even have a presence.

That's fine.

Shaking his head to clear his mind of these distractions, Su Mo focused on studying magic theory.

Idol worship itself is merely the most basic principle of the technique; recognizing this alone is not enough.

The true construction of a technique is inevitably a complex technical problem.

"If we can successfully master this method of constructing spirit armor, we might not need to buy other similar types of magic in the future..."

Amidst the fragrant aroma of tea, thousands upon thousands of models were constructed in his mind.

007 easily advances to the next level, possessing the strength to fight an entire army single-handedly.

Erica was the first to notice when Su Mo purchased the magic in the chat group.

Erica: "Yay!"

Erica: "Su God bought my magic again!"

Erica immediately started showing off in the group chat.

Upon seeing this, Xiaoyuan didn't react for a moment, thinking that Erica was happy that she had successfully sold something and received more points.

Kanae and Rin Tohsaka quickly realized what was happening.

[Rin Tohsaka: "Envious.JPG."]

[Rin Tohsaka: "I'm afraid it won't be long before Su Mo comes up with an upgraded version of magic again!"]

[Rin Tohsaka: "Damn it, why is this foxy woman so lucky?!"]

Upon seeing this, Xiaoyuan finally understood what made Erica happy.

Two hundred points are nothing; the skills personally optimized by Su Mo are the real treasure!

Erica: "I wonder how much Lord Su Mo will be able to comprehend this time."

Erica: "No matter what, it's definitely a hundred times better than the original version I'm using."

Having already tasted success, she had great confidence in Su Mo.

[Xiao Yuan: "Congratulations, Erica!"]

After understanding, the gentle-natured Madoka showed no jealousy. In fact, she even helped persuade Rin Tohsaka.

[Xiaoyuan: "Rin-neechan, don't worry! If big brother is willing to sell his insights, we can buy them!"]

She felt that something that could benefit everyone should be encouraged.

Rin Tohsaka: "I know, but..."

Rin Tohsaka: "I humbly hope that the great Su Mo will even glance at me."

Rin naturally understood what Madoka meant, but her magic system was completely different from Erica's, and she had no intention of switching to Erica's magic system.

If Su Mo really manages to create an enhanced version of magic, she can naturally buy and use it, but the effect will definitely not be as good as Erica's.

Therefore, she hoped that Su Mo could modify the products she was selling.

Although it's unlikely, what if Su Mo actually manages to improve upon the five major magic spells?

Then Rin Tohsaka will bring glory to her family and become a great magician, fulfilling the lifelong wish of all magicians, including her father, and truly touching the Root!
