Locke: Daily intelligence, I'm going crazy finding bargains!

Without saying a word, Luo Xing stuffed the three tokens into his pocket with great speed and efficiency.

"Thank you, Teacher Bai. Let's eat, the food's getting cold."

Bai Qiuxue rolled her eyes at him and turned to walk towards the dining table.

The table was laden with ten dishes and two soups, all of which looked, smelled, and tasted delicious.

Golden Bean had already stolen several pieces of pork ribs and hadn't closed his mouth since. When Bai Qiuxue picked up a piece of braised pork with her chopsticks and put it in her mouth, her eyes lit up.

"Luo Xing, you shouldn't be a magician, you should be a chef!"

Liu Ruyan sat in the corner of the table, looking somewhat reserved.

Xu Yiqiu acted very exaggeratedly, as if she hadn't eaten for three days. She finished one bowl of rice and then went to get a second one. Bai Qiuxue glanced at her, and she silently turned her back.

After the meal, Luo Xing took out three secret realm tokens from his pocket and handed them to Su Mumu, Huang Jindou, and Liu Ruyan respectively.

"The Qingfeng Mountain Secret Realm will open the day after tomorrow, one piece per person."

Golden Bean took the token and examined it for a long time: "The champion of the competition only gets one of these, how did you get four?"

Luo Xing looked in Bai Qiuxue's direction.

Golden Bean immediately understood and began to flatter, "Teacher Bai is so generous!"

Bai Qiuxue wasn't buying it. She pulled over a chair, crossed her legs, and leaned back on the sofa, starting to tell them about Qingfeng Mountain.

"Mount Light Breeze is a free-exploration type of secret realm, with many rare elves inside, but this secret realm has not been open for many years, so it's hard to say the specific situation."

"There's one more thing. Light Breeze Mountain restricts entry to mages below the second star level. The four of you are currently all one star. It would be safer to go to the association tomorrow to advance your rank."

Luo Xing nodded. He also needed to unlock a new contract slot, and advancing to the second star was his top priority.

Liu Ruyan put down her cup, stood up, and straightened her clothes.

"I have other things to do. See you at the association tomorrow morning."

After she finished speaking, she nodded to everyone and left. Luo Xing saw her off at the door.

Su Mumu and Huang Jindou started clearing the dishes, and Xu Yiqiu, after being given a wink by Bai Qiuxue, obediently went to help.

Luo Xing took this opportunity to tell her about the Black Witch Clan and the seal.

"Teacher Bai, there's something I need to tell you."

"From the Black Witch Order?"

Luo Xing turned her head, somewhat surprised.

Bai Qiuxue tucked her hair behind her ears, her gaze fixed on the distant lights, her expression calm.

"I know about the seal on Starfrost Cliff and the Silent Bone Dragon at the foot of Light Breeze Mountain."

Luo Xing was stunned for two seconds. He thought he was the first person to tell Bai Qiuxue the news, but it turned out that she knew more than he did.

"Did the old man tell you that?"

Bai Qiuxue did not answer. She opened her right hand, and a magic circle the size of a fist floated in her palm. The array was extremely complex, emitting a pale golden light, and slowly rotating.

"If the seal really breaks down, this thing might be able to help."

She pushed the magic circle in front of Luo Xing, who reached out and caught it. The magic circle merged into his palm and disappeared.

"As for the Black Witch Cult, with me here, they can't cause any trouble."

If someone else had said this, Luo Xing might not have believed it, but if Bai Qiuxue had said it, he would have.

He couldn't fathom just how strong Bai Qiuxue was, but he was certain that she was far stronger than his grandfather, and might even be a five-star mage.

Not long after, Bai Qiuxue and Xu Yiqiu also left. They had been through a lot these past few days, so the three of them quickly washed up and went back to their rooms to sleep.

At 6:00 AM the next morning, the daily intelligence was updated precisely on time.

[Daily News: There's a strange duck named Gigi at the Great World Circus.]

Duckling?

Luo Xing lay on the bed staring at the ceiling and thought for a while. He remembered this elf. It was a popular character in the mobile game. Its strength was average, but it was loved by players because of its unique appearance.

System intelligence doesn't push out information for no reason. Since this intelligence has been triggered, this duck Gigi must have something special about it.

He rolled out of bed, put on his coat, and went out the door.

The streets were shrouded in mist in the early morning, with only a few breakfast shops open. Luo Xing turned into the old steamed bun shop at the alley entrance and ordered two baskets of steamed buns and three bowls of soy milk.

While waiting for his steamed buns, he leaned against the stall and casually asked the owner a question.

"Sir, where is the Great World Circus?"

The steamed bun shop owner, a chubby man in his fifties, said without looking up as he kneaded the buns, "The one in the east of the city? It's right next to the old stadium. It's been really popular lately, with long queues every day."

"What show is so popular?"

"A huge, pure black duck. You've never seen a duck like that before. It can do everything—magic tricks, it can fly, it can even transform! It's smarter than a person. My grandson dragged me to see it three times." The owner pushed the steamer aside and gave a thumbs up.

Luo Xing had a rough idea of ​​what was going on, and took the breakfast back to Douzi's house.

In the living room, only Huang Jindou was yawning on the sofa. Luo Xing looked around but didn't see Su Mumu.

"Where's Mumu?"

They told us to go home to get something and that we should go directly to the association to meet up.

Luo Xing put the breakfast on the coffee table: "Let's set off after we finish eating."

After finishing breakfast, the two took a taxi straight to the Los Angeles Magic Association.

Liu Ruyan was already waiting at the entrance of the association building.

Today she changed into a black tracksuit and tied her hair into a low ponytail, looking much more capable, but still giving off a "keep away" vibe.

Luo Xing was about to greet them when he heard the sound of brakes behind him.

He looked back and saw a black sedan parked steadily on the side of the road. Su Mumu got out of the passenger seat and waved to them.

Luo Xing stared at the car, and the more he looked at it, the more familiar it seemed.

Isn't this the fucking car?

The driver's side door opened, and Li Xueli got out.

Before Luo Xing could even wipe his smile off, a hand had already precisely pinched his ear.

"You little brat!"

"He hasn't been home for days and didn't even call me! If I hadn't run into Xiao Mumu when I went out, I would have called the police!"

"Ouch, ouch, ouch! Mom, let go! We're entering a secret realm, there's no signal inside!"

Luo Xing tried to evoke her mother's love by acting cute, but obviously failed. Li Xueli twisted her arm half a turn before letting go.

"snort."

After letting go, Li Xueli glanced at the people behind Luo Xing, her gaze lingering on Liu Ruyan for a few seconds before finally returning to Luo Xing's face.

"I'm off to work. Get home for dinner tonight."

When you're done, turn around and leave.

Luo Xing rubbed his bright red ears, turned around, and found that everyone was looking at him.

Huang Jindou clutched his stomach, and even Liu Ruyan laughed.

That was the first time Luo Xing had seen a smile on Liu Ruyan's face. Although it was only for a moment, she did smile.

"What are you looking at? Go inside." Luo Xing rolled her eyes and stepped into the association's gate first.

The staff at the front desk told them that neither the old man nor Jiahao were in the association, but the promotion assessment would still proceed as usual; they just needed to register and then queue up.

After the four people filled out the registration forms at the front desk, they were about to walk towards the assessment area when someone blocked their way.

He was in his early twenties, with his hair dyed golden brown and styled with hair wax. He wore a shimmering silk shirt with the collar wide open and several gold chains hanging from his chest.

The man's gaze swept over Su Mumu, then landed on Liu Ruyan. He straightened his bangs and took a step forward.

"Beautiful ladies, are you here to take the test for the one-star mage badge?"

He deliberately puffed out his chest, revealing the two-star mage badge pinned to his shirt pocket.

"I have people here, do you need any help?"

"Get lost," Liu Ruyan replied crisply and decisively.

The man's smile froze on his face, his neck turned red, his lips twitched twice, and his voice suddenly rose.

"Don't be ungrateful!"

He took a step back, pointed at the four people, and his eyes darkened.

"None of you will get through today."
