This old man is dressed in an outfit that's as pure white as a tuxedo, holding something akin to a gentleman's cane. Even when Xue Dili is absent, he acts like a theatrical performer, wandering around various Treasure showcases.

Upon seeing Xue Dili, he proceeds to exaggerate a strange ritual, with his white goatee impressively clear: "I am the Great Mage Green."

Xue Dili: "..."

He suddenly feels that this flamboyant old man just finished shooting a KFC commercial; the moment he speaks, Xue Dili has an impression of the KFC Grandpa saying "I love your mom" in a salacious tone.

Another major point is that the old man is barely Tier Four; without any instruments, he can clearly sense this flamboyant old man's power.

So weak...

Although his own level is only at Tier Three with 27% experience, Xue Dili has never relied on his physical body for fighting; he's more of a tool-type player, so for a mage who has just stepped into Tier Four, he genuinely feels that they are weak...

Among all the travelers he has met, the old man is only slightly stronger than the Old Undead.

Maybe now he's not even stronger than the Old Undead; when Xue Dili left, it seemed the Old Undead had ascended and became the Guardian of the World Consciousness. Although the World Consciousness was somewhat ineffective, now he's at least around middle Tier Four.

Now the flamboyant old man is holding something like a magnifying glass, observing the Magic Ring of Giant Beast Zero with a face full of surprise and shock: "Extraterrestrial mage, how did you manage to seal a Giant Dragon in such a small wristband?"

"No, no, no, it's not like a Giant Dragon. It has strength greater than the Dragon King, like the Titan Giant Beast from ancient stories. My goodness, it's really amazing! It's magic I've never seen before. I must record it..." A magic-guided book appears out of thin air in the flamboyant old man's hand, and a quill floats up to start recording.

Xue Dili: "!!!"

This flamboyant old man's magic is quite different from any he has seen before!

So far, from the Old Undead onwards, all the magic Xue Dili has encountered has been focused on battle or support in battle to manipulate energy.

The Divine Art from the Old Undead World, Demon Magic from the Great Sage, Elemental Magic of the Holy Magic Continent, and the Spiritual Mastery from the Giant Beast World are essentially all means of energy manipulation.

It's like technology stores energy in devices for output, whereas mages treat themselves as the battery, using a Magic Array or a body organ as the energy output point.

Essentially, it's something Xue Dili can understand.

In the words of the Great Sage, the foundation of magic is the balance of matters and energies; mages are merely a group of people who can freely utilize the energy of the surrounding planet.

Yet, this flamboyant old man's magic is different; he doesn't mobilize energy but seems to bestow life upon a quill, saying to it, "You can move, bro."

The quill then moves on its own!

"Wait, old man, what other magic do you have? Let's exchange magic with each other." In Xue Dili's hand appears a Holy Light Cutting Disc Blade, which seems to shock the flamboyant old man as well.

Thus, Xue Dili directly uses the knowledge module left by the Great Sage as if it's a magic version of Wikipedia, starting to exchange magic knowledge with the flamboyant old man.

The unexpected thing is that before they knew it, a whole morning had passed.

...

"Amazing! So amazing! Magic can be used in such ways, it's magnificent! I must record this and let my students learn!" The old principal exclaims continuously upon seeing Xue Dili deconstruct his Savior Holy Sword's functions.

Xue Dili is similarly overwhelmed.

From the flamboyant old man's hands, he gained a great deal of magic, but this magic...

[Frog Technique (C-Class): A trick that can turn a unit into a frog; with time and strength, the effect weakens, and the unit's essence remains unchanged.]

[Blessing Technique (C-Class): Grants blessings to others; if the blessed person coincidentally encounters a talking animal, the blessing's content can be realized.]

[Communication Skill (C-Class): Grants animals the ability to speak human language.]

[Bread Technique (C-Class): Can conjure various flavors of bread at will.]

[Life Spirit Technique (B-Class): Can bestow life onto inanimate objects.]

[Cleaning Technique (C-Class): Can quickly clean dirt and maintain freshness.]

...

This is just the tip of the flamboyant old man's magical iceberg; it's in this style?

It's not magical at all!

Especially that Bread Technique and Life Spirit Technique, which create things out of nothing, completely defy the principles of magic conservation?

The magical knowledge Xue Dili has been familiar with seems to shatter at this moment; he never thought magic could have such strange variations.

Meanwhile, the flamboyant old man keeps examining the deconstructed Savior Holy Sword; his quills have already gone on strike several times, and those granted life by Life Spirit Technique even splattered ink on his face when overworked. The flamboyant old man frantically shouted for five quills to rotate shifts to calm them down.

Xue Dili: "..."

"This isn't magic. How can it realize the wish of gathering all the creatures of the world together..." The old geezer was almost tearing out his goatee while researching the Savior Holy Sword.

It seemed that Xue Ding's magic posed an even greater challenge for him.

The two exchanged glances, both showing expressions of difficulty and embarrassment.

It could be confirmed that although both of them used what was called "magic," they were entirely different systems.

During their conversation, Xue Ding also discovered that the old geezer's world was an incredibly fantastical world, where the clouds held Sky Island, and sat the Kingdom of the Giants, the east was the Land of the Little People, with inhabitants no larger than a single hand.

In the ocean, countless pearl-tear mermaids swam, and in the distant Silver Country, giant dragons coveted treasures, witches brewed magic potions in the deepest parts of the forest, and adorable little animals might speak human words at any moment.

An adventurer fell into a cave and was said to have arrived in a strange and bizarre nation; in the distant eastern desert, there were said to be huge monsters and elves who could fulfill wishes...

Xue Ding: "..."

No wonder the old geezer's actions were exaggeratedly funny, Xue Ding closed his eyes, having thoroughly figured it out.

The old geezer's world wasn't a serious world at all but a fairy tale world!

He was the kind of background character, a world-famous old mage of the fairy tale world.

Indeed, Xue Ding had said the old geezer's magic had a strange taste, with many perfectly unreasonable, conservation-defying and energy-defying peculiar spells, Xue Ding had no idea what outlandish degree that fairy tale world had reached to give birth to such odd spells.

The magic and magic guidance familiar to Xue Ding were actually alternative science, with fireballs, lightning, magic shields, technique arrays, and energy control.

Whereas the old geezer's world was purely functional magic, including transformation, curses, divination, enlightenment, bestowal, charm, and so on...

This made Xue Ding view the old geezer's magic as incomprehensible, like reading a heavenly book, and the old geezer viewed Xue Ding's magic as equally unreasonable.

Plus, the old geezer received a mobile phone, watching the strange little box capable of generating images and sound, the old geezer was so anxious he crazily pulled at his beard, and when Xue Ding played "Ultraman Tiga," even more beard hairs were pulled out.

Afterward, the old geezer gradually became addicted to tokusatsu dramas.

Xue Ding sat at his home's entrance, finding these bizarre spells truly headache-inducing.

He was actually quite interested in many of the old geezer's spells, for example, the Cleaning Technique and Bread Technique, although of low tier, they could honestly improve the quality of life.

And there were the Life Spirit Technique and Communication Skill, Life Spirit Technique could endow inanimate objects with life, just like the old geezer's strike-prone feather quill, and the Communication Skill could communicate with anything.

In the future, could Xue Ding use the Communication Skill to directly talk to a planet's consciousness when traveling to other worlds? Instead of having to conduct large-scale Divine Descent Ceremonies to gamble with fate as often as not.

Although he felt he had learned these spells himself, when he pointed to his own flowerpot and said: "Sheep Transformation Technique!"

The flowerpot had no reaction.

Neighbor Uncle Wang's dog happened to pass by and was instantly captured by Xue Ding's grasp of fate, lifting it in front of himself, continuously using: "Communication Skill!"

Dog: "Aw! Aw! Aw!"

"Cleaning Technique!"

The dog's barking grew louder and it struggled even more, the dust and dirt on its body shaking off.

"What's going on, is someone stealing a dog?" Neighbor Uncle Wang seemed to hear his own dog's wailing, coming out to see Xue Ding lifting the dog by the scruff with one hand, and continuously pointing "Desolate Heaven-Caging Finger" at its nose with the other hand.

Uncle Wang was a bit speechless, not knowing why Xue was playing around with his dog today.

"Hey, Xue kid, what are you up to? I could hear Laifu's wailing all the way from the mahjong parlor." Uncle Wang's voice called out.

Xue Ding immediately embarrassedly set the dog down, which instantly ran behind Uncle Wang, barking "Woof! Woof! Woof!" at Xue Ding.

"Nothing, just playing with it." Xue Ding quickly said, unable to admit he was using the dog to experiment with fairy tale magic testing, could he?

"I have a few puppies just over a month old, would you like one? If you want, I'll bring one over to you." Uncle Wang quickly said.

"No, no, don't need it, I'm at school every day, no time to take care of it..." Xue Ding immediately declined.

If it were Fafnir, she'd probably love to have a puppy, but Xue Ding truly had no time, thinking he might visit another world for a while, and come back to find the puppy had already cooled down.

Moreover, from a young age when he first remembered, his old home raised a big black dog, but after that big fire, the black dog disappeared.

Some said it was the dog barking at his own front door at the time that attracted the firefighter who saved his life, allowing Xue Ding to be rescued.

Since then, Xue Ding had never raised any small animals again.

Now he really couldn't capture a few small animals, sacrifice them, and use them as backup materials for Celestial Thunder summoning, could he?
