Conquer the other worlds with abandon, they've fallen in love with me!

Outside the door, Lin Yu stood there, looking at the tightly closed door, then looked down at his coat, which was crumpled and had a suspicious damp stain on it.

He was silent for a few seconds, then slowly and methodically put on his coat, smoothing out the wrinkles, as if nothing had happened.

After doing all that, Lin Yu stopped in front of the toilet door.

"Lilia".

"Yes, Mr. Lin Yu."

"I'm leaving," Lin Yu said.

There was a moment of silence inside, then Lilia's voice rang out again, tinged with reluctance:

"Yes. Mr. Lin Yu, today... I'm very happy today."

Whether it was in the forest or on the way back, these were experiences I'd never had before... Really... Thank you~

Hearing Lilia's clumsy yet sincere thanks, a hint of tenderness flashed in Lin Yu's eyes.

"Hmm," he replied, without saying anything more.

...

After leaving the room, Lin Yu stood in the corridor without leaving immediately, and instead walked towards the stairs at the other end.

He needs to go to Vera's office.

......

Adventurers' Guild, second floor—

Vera leaned back in her high-backed chair behind her desk, holding a glass of red wine in her hand.

Her long brown hair cascaded over her shoulders, the ends slightly curled, accentuating her delicate features.

The deep purple cheongsam had a high neckline, but the fabric was thin, clinging to every curve of the body.

The curves of her chest were clearly visible under the fabric, her waist was very slender, and below that were her rounded hips.

Her legs were crossed and perched on the edge of the table. The legs, encased in black stockings, had smooth lines, and her dark red high heels were half-hanging, with her toes swaying gently.

She was in this position when Lin Yu knocked on the door and came in.

"Mr. Lin Yu." Vera put down her wine glass, took the tread from the table, and sat up straight.

"Thank you, Lilia."

"Of course." Lin Yu sat down opposite him.

Vera looked at him, a slight smile playing on her lips:

"That child has been with me for several years, and I know her magical talent better than anyone. But I also know that she wants to help me and wants to learn magic."

I never imagined all of this would come true because of you.

Vera paused, leaned forward slightly, and rested her chin on her elbow on the table:

It seems my choice was indeed right; Mr. Lin Yu treats his woman very well.

Vera's voice carried a hint of lazy laughter as she lightly tapped her fingertips on the table.

Lin Yu did not deny it, but his gaze naturally fell on Vera's crossed legs.

However, to be precise, it was the black stockings she was wearing that she put on.

The black stockings had a delicate matte sheen under the light, perfectly outlining the graceful lines from small to large.

Several lines of familiar, semi-transparent text appeared above the black stockings:

[Secret Pleasure]

[Quality: White]

[Effect: Slightly increases attack speed when worn, and is enchanted with 'Clean' and 'Repair'.]

[Description: A product infused with a touch of pleasurable magic by the creator's mischievous sense of humor. It is said to make people more adept and free-flowing during "exercise".]

And it will always be spotless, so you don't have to worry about embarrassment after a fierce battle.

Lin Yu raised his eyebrows almost imperceptibly.

Attack speed? Could it be the kind of "attack speed" he's thinking of?

Well, this item is... quite useful.

It would be a lie to say you don't want a special item; even if you don't use it yourself, you can give it to your woman.

However, since it's currently on Vera, it obviously doesn't activate its special effects. It needs to be taken back and given "ownership" again.

But here's the problem.

Lin Yu couldn't very well just say, "President, give me the stockings you're wearing, I want to keep them."

The image was too beautiful for Lin Yu to leave a "perverted" label in Vera's mind for the time being.

We'll have to look for other opportunities.

While Lin Yu was pondering, Vera noticed his gaze lingering briefly.

Vera's smile remained unchanged, but her crossed legs naturally shifted direction.

The right leg, which was originally up, was lowered, and the left leg was raised and overlapped on the right leg again.

This movement caused the high slit of the cheongsam to slide to the other side, revealing more of her ample skin, with the edge of her black stockings flashing under the light.

After making this subtle adjustment, she slowly spoke, her voice carrying a hint of inquiry:

"Mr. Lin Yu came all this way to see me, surely not just to hear me praise you? So, what brings you here?"

Lin Yu withdrew his gaze and met Vera's eyes.

Her eyes were deep brown, appearing profound under the light, possessing a mature woman's keen insight that seemed to see right through people.

Lin Yu didn't beat around the bush: "Guild Leader Vera, does the guild have any spellbooks or anything like that?"

Vera raised an eyebrow: "A spellbook? Mr. Lin Yu wants to learn magic?"

"I have that plan."

"Spellbooks are usually found in magic academies or large libraries in big cities."

Vera shook her head: "You can't get that kind of thing in a small place like Wind Chime Town."

Lin Yu nodded, his expression unchanged, as if he already knew.

Vera looked at Lin Yu, tapped her fingers on the armrest twice more, and suddenly spoke: "However..."

Lin Yu looked up.

"If Mr. Lin Yu wants to learn magic," Wei stretched out her hand and pulled out the hairpin, her long hair falling over her shoulder and covering half of her face.

She tucked her hair behind her ear with her fingers, revealing the full profile of her face: "I can teach you."

Lin Yu's lips curled slightly; he had been waiting for these words.

However, some disguise is still necessary.

He stared at Vera for a few seconds.

Vera looked at him, a hint of amusement in her eyes.

"What?" She lowered her hand, her chin slightly raised.

"Don't believe me? Although I am now the guild leader and rarely participate in battles, I was an adventurer when I was young."

"Enough to teach you magic."

Lin Yu knew, of course, that Vera was powerful. In the game "Silver World Demon Girl", the power level is divided into 1 to 9 tiers, regardless of the class.

Vera, as a fourth-tier mage, is already a top-tier fighter in Wind Chime Town, and even in Eagle Ridge, she is considered among the strongest.

Above him is Lord Rodwell, a 6th-rank Archmage.

Lin Yu estimated that his current potion-making level was also at the sixth rank.

However, potion masters are generally not very good at combat, which is why Lin Yu wanted to learn magic. After all, the more skills you have, the more secure you are.

But then again, a potion master has many ways to kill someone, and you never know when you'll be killed by a sneak attack.

Lin Yu had another purpose in learning magic: there was a unique secret realm on the Eagle Territory map, where there was also a magic book similar to the Encyclopedia of Potions.

However, the condition for opening the secret realm is to learn any five elemental magics, which Vera happens to know.

Without much thought, Lin Yu forced a smile and said:

"It's not that I don't believe it, it's just that I feel it's not good to trouble President Vera."

"There's nothing wrong with it." Vera put the hairpin back in, stood up, walked around the desk, and sat down on the sofa opposite Lin Yu.

She crossed her legs, and her legs, encased in black stockings, were faintly visible through the slit of her cheongsam.

Her toes swayed slightly, and the heels of her high heels gleamed with a dark red luster.

"It is my honor to be Mr. Lin Yu's teacher." Her voice was neither loud nor soft, carrying a hint of languor.

"However... I don't have much time. I can only teach you when you come, and each time will be about... three hours?"

Lin Yu nodded: "That's enough. What kind of reward does President Vera need?"

"Reward?" Vera tilted her head, seemingly considering the question seriously.

She was silent for a few seconds, then looked up at Lin Yu: "Mr. Lin Yu, the agreement to supply five hundred bottles of potions per week... could you add another hundred?"

"Six hundred bottles."

"Yes, six hundred bottles." Vera nodded. "That quantity shouldn't be too difficult for Mr. Lin Yu, right?"

Lin Yu glanced at her.

This woman was testing his limits from the very first time they met.

Five hundred bottles weren't enough; they needed six hundred. They said they were teaching magic, but actually they were testing whether he could handle that amount.

If they can handle the demand, her guild will be able to get more goods and make more money.

But it is precisely this kind of thinking that makes people want to explore her even more.

"Sure," Lin Yu said. "Six hundred bottles a week, not a single one less."

Vera's eyes lit up for a moment, but she quickly regained her composure.

"Then it's settled." She extended her hand. "It'll be a pleasure doing business with you."

Lin Yu took her hand.

Her hands were soft, her fingers slender, and her palms warm.

After letting go, Lin Yu stood up, smiled, and said:

"By the way, President Vera, could you give me a storage magic bag?"

Something similar to Lilia's will do; it'll be convenient for carrying herbs and potions.

Vera glanced at Lin Yu, then turned and walked to the cabinet, pulling out a small dark brown leather bag.

"Here, take this." She handed over the bag. "It holds about 1000 bottles of potions. Is that enough?"

"That's enough." Lin Yu took it and hung it on his belt.

"Then I'll be leaving first."

"Take care." Vera saw him to the door, leaning against the doorframe as she watched his figure disappear at the top of the stairs.

The smile on her lips hadn't faded when she lightly tapped her fingers twice on the door frame.
