Nowadays, even children who are only ten years old have mobile phones and similar devices that are essential to everyone. Schools have no intention of confiscating these things, so people immediately started searching for someone named Ma Xiaolin online.

However, the mobile data networks and signals of regular telecommunications companies are all zero, and there is only one public IFI available. Clicking on that will allow you to connect to the network.

A quick search for Ma Xiaolin reveals that he is indeed a bearded man who has created his own Weibo and Twitter accounts. However, his number of followers is rather pitiful, only a few thousand, which is nothing compared to the hundreds of millions of followers of popular IPs like Goddess, Fear Demon King, and Little Fairy Ellen.

But this guy is very flamboyant; he posted a lot of videos on his personal account, all about how powerful he is and how invincible he is.

"It really exists!"

A little boy was whispering to his friend next to him.

Another little girl also gasped softly.

"So his name really is Ma Xiaolin..."

Another little boy exclaimed as if he had timed it perfectly.

"He really has a big beard... This name sounds like it belongs to a girl or a handsome guy..."

The most viewed video is one where a player takes on fifty mantises in a football field.

Watching it was exhilarating, with every punch landing with a visceral, tense, and thrilling experience. The mantis's green juice splattered, and broken pincers and wings flew everywhere.

However, there was a "ruthless" comment from a fan below the Weibo post.

'Golden Mike Mantis Fighter Team, 5000 RMB per mantis session, minimum order of 20 mantises. Golden Mike, your loyal training partner.'

Services offered: Heroic rescue (you'll become a hero by playing the villain); film shooting (save you on special effects costs); setting up extras for haunted houses in amusement parks (extremely realistic); martial arts fighting performances (you're a true expert); bodyguard services (hourly rate).

"Jinmaike: Integrity First, Service Foremost, Striving to Move Yourself and Your Heart! We are dedicated to serving you. For inquiries, please call: 13XXXXXXXXX..."

This comment received more than twice as many likes as the video itself, totaling over 100,000 likes.

Almost every netizen who sees this comment, whether they are just passing by or are a fan of Ma Xiaolin, will leave a comment saying '666'.

The other friends were naturally speechless.

Is there such a service team?

"Um, it seems like a year ago, there was a flyer in my mailbox... it was this KingMike, it was full of mimic mantises."

"Is this how they live now that they're no longer bad people? It doesn't seem very fulfilling..."

Then the little girl who said that searched for the Jinmaike team and found that Jinmaike had two million fans, many times more than Ma Xiaolin. They also showed legal business licenses and various qualification certificates issued by various countries, and even posted some medical examination reports. I don't know how they conducted the examinations.

The latest slogan reads: "Due to overwhelming demand, prices have been temporarily raised. A single 'demon session' now costs 20,000 yuan, with the waiting list extending to February next year."

"Um...they seem to be doing quite well..."

"By the way, in Ma Xiaolin's video, many of the mantises had their pincers broken off. Are they alright?"

"It's alright, the mantises have very strong regenerative abilities. They'll grow back after a while. They won't die unless they're seriously injured. But I guess that if things get this bad, the price will increase, right?"

Although Ma Xiaolin "suspected" hired the Jinmaike team to help him film his performance videos, Ma Xiaolin's skills are still evident; he is indeed very capable, which has given most children confidence in Yuan Tian Gong.

The children seemed a little confused by the rule against getting close to unicorns. Everyone had seen information about unicorns; they were supposed to be very friendly fantasy creatures.

...

Similar enrollment scenarios exist in the Holy Temple Academy in the North American wilderness fantasy realm, and also in the Nature University in a mysterious forest.

In this new era on Earth, the number of schools that aim to cultivate supernatural abilities is gradually increasing. This not only teaches gifted individuals how to rationally use and develop their powers, but also effectively restrains them.

What puzzles the children is that, regardless of the school, whether it's openly discussed or through hints and suggestions from older students and teachers, the topic of unicorns is mentioned to some extent.

Magic schools are more straightforward, telling children who are cute not to approach them, while fairy schools write it directly into their rules, prohibiting all children from getting close.

These children don't communicate with each other, so they assume it's just an isolated case at their school. They think that a unicorn must have caused a misunderstanding or offended the school's higher-ups. A few children are particularly interested in this and want to uncover the truth themselves.

Ten meters away from the outer statue of the Deep Blue Magic School, three unicorns gathered and looked in the direction of the magic school. The one in the middle had fur that was as bright as light and as shimmering as flowing snow, and it looked exceptionally divine.

"Boss, this is a tough situation. The magic school has already set up those damn rules. The magic school isn't quite that strict yet, but some teachers are still warning the new students."

"Yeah, boss, this is outrageous! We've been so friendly! It's infuriating!"

A puff of white vapor escaped from Kardon's nostrils.

"Those old bastards who are principals didn't give me any face at all. Vici Merlin was a good friend though, he rejected the new school rules drafted by the teachers. I'm definitely going to tell the Lord next time!"

Because Visi got so into character playing Merlin, the higher-level alchemical beings gave him a nickname, and his name became Visi Merlin.

"Boss, don't just get angry, think of something! There are several really cute girls this year!!"

"There were boys too! I saw them down there earlier. There were two cute girls on a griffin, and the boy was very cute too. He might even be cuter than the girls if he wore girls' clothes!"

The speaking unicorn's eyes seemed to crinkle, and a tiny trickle of blood oozed dramatically from one of its nostrils, instantly shattering the unicorn's unique aura of holiness.

"What are you afraid of! This is the subspace of the magic school, my buddy Visi's territory, let's just go in and flirt with him!"

Having said that, Carton, along with his two unicorn minions, strode forward.

"Rumble rumble rumble~~~"

A heavy scraping sound rang out, and the heads of two huge guard statues not far away slowly turned around, their gazes locking onto the three unicorns that were about to walk inside.

"Holy crap! Vissi Merlin, you old bastard, you actually pulled this trick! This is outrageous! This is outrageous!"

Since the active metals have gained significant use, Wu You has attracted attention. Coral polyps have also undergone mutations and enhancements, and there are other biological species with weaving capabilities. The latest and strongest generation of active metals is an alloy formed by the aggregation of multiple atomic collapse metals.

Some of the materials are extraterrestrial metallic elements that do not exist on Earth. This mixed active alloy has a strength comparable to the physical defense of a silver-grade Lionface King Kong and is known as the Divine Race Mithril.

Karton glanced at the hundred-meter-tall metal golem made entirely of divine mithril and swallowed hard.

Although it is a mid-level silver-grade puppet capable of using a powerful bio-field, these two puppets are not to be underestimated. They are an experiment by Wu You to enhance combat power and increase the number of methods available.

This research project was overseen by the magic school and the wizarding association. Kardon didn't know much about it, but judging from his appearance, he didn't seem inclined to get into a fight with this kind of thing for no reason.

"You're ruthless, having a son is no good!"

On a towering mage tower, Visi carefully combed his long beard, which he had been growing for some time, adjusted his wizard's pointed hat, and then dusted off his wizard's robes.

A state-of-the-art micro-motion high-definition camera hovers in the air opposite.

Vixi smiled as he posed, then, on a whim, pressed the shutter.

Achoo! Achoo!

The moment the flash went off, I couldn't stop myself from sneezing twice.

A camera flew over, and when I opened the photo, it was a picture of myself sneezing, looking rather ugly, with a somewhat grotesque expression.

"Who's talking badly about me behind my back!"

As a high-ranking vampire who has reached the Silver level, it's impossible for him to get sick. However, with his strong spiritual senses, he is still likely to have a different reaction if someone of sufficient influence speaks ill of him.

"Damn it, let's film it again."

Ten minutes later, a slightly edited photo, accompanied by some gentle and righteous text, was posted on Twitter by someone named Merlin.

Swish swish swish~~

The number of likes and comments surged instantly, and even pressing F5 repeatedly for half a minute couldn't get to the bottom of the list.

Archmage Merlin smiled with satisfaction.

As a popular IP with enormous influence in the UK and a significant global presence, Merlin's account is flooded with positive reviews and praise.

"Ugh, it's all vanity~ but it just feels so good!"

...

Unicorns are incredibly fast, especially since they can use psionic energy and are in Earth's most concentrated psionic field. They frequently call upon psionic spirits for help to teleport short distances.

If it weren't for his two underlings who weren't yet at the Silver rank, Karton could have teleported to his destination in three separate trips.

The first time they emerged from this forest space, the second time they arrived outside their destination, and the third time they entered the location of the Holy Knights School.

When the three holy unicorns appeared outside the relatively modern Templar Academy, the long, white legs of passersby were dazzled by their appearance.

The Templar School did not prevent the unicorns from entering, so they went straight into the training plaza.

"Tsk tsk tsk... Windsor and Dassane are so open-minded, our relationship is really strong!"

When Karton saw that he had come in easily, he immediately became smug again.

"Hehehe, the girls here all look so energetic and bouncy, and they're all so well-developed!!"

The other unicorn kept its eyes fixed on the female student without blinking.

A girl, radiating heat and with her shorts and t-shirt clinging to her body from sweat, stared intently ahead.

"The 29th full-power side kick."

The smooth thighs gathered explosive power.

"Bang!"

A small crater was trampled into the grass, and a large, elastic chest heaved as the figure seemed to tear through the air, blurring as it rushed forward to within 50 meters.

"Boom!"

The three layers of granite slabs, each a meter thick, were kicked to pieces, sending a large amount of debris flying in all directions, some of which landed near the three unicorns.

"Tsk tsk, upperclassmen, you can't handle this. Leave it to me. You guys find your own targets. Be a gentleman!"

After saying this, Katon sniffed the fragrance in the air, struck a dashing pose, raised his hooves, and let out a loud neigh.

The pure white light sparkled like stardust, instantly attracting the attention of many students nearby.

He walked up to the girl who was panting.

“Miss, you must be tired. You can sit on my back and rest. I can help you regain your strength.”

Katon deliberately let his mane sway with the wind, sweeping across the girl's back and slowly releasing his power to help relieve her muscle soreness.

"Thanks, but it's not necessary. Unicorns aren't my type though. If you were a demon, maybe I'd go with you tonight~"

"Click click click~"

Kardon felt like he was instantly petrified. What was going on? I hadn't even said anything yet! Wait, this girl is so outgoing!

The girl ignored the pause and continued with her other training.

Soon, another unicorn returned, looking somewhat dejected. One of them had a bruise on its forehead, which was slightly swollen and could still be seen despite being covered by fur.

"Boss...did you get it?"

However, seeing that Karton was alone here, I already knew the outcome.

"Boss! Over here, come over here quickly!"

Another unicorn stood by a notice board, not shouting, but transmitting a message using its consciousness waves.

The three unicorns reunited, staring blankly at a large section of text and images on the bulletin board.

What do unicorns want to do?

Under the red title are many exaggerated graphic processes, arranged in detail step by step. Some of the content is even more exaggerated than the actual situation. I felt that these words should be censored.

Then, at the very bottom of this long text and image, it is prominently written:

"If you can accept that, then nothing else matters," said Dean Dai Shan.

The Holy Temple Academy certainly didn't intend to stop Unicorn. They openly and brazenly revealed the stakes, without any attempt to hide anything, clearly showing the girls and cute boys what Unicorn truly wanted.

The choice is entirely up to you.

"Boss... should we use force?"

"Are you crazy?!"

Kardon looked at his stupid underling as if he were an idiot.

Another unicorn immediately responded.

"Exactly, we're gentlemen, how can we use force? Besides, do you think those teachers in here are fake?"

Kardon casually added, "Exactly, you can't force them here!"

"Looks like I'll have to spend money!"

After saying this, the silver horn on the unicorn's head flashed.

...

A base somewhere beneath the sea, deep in the ocean; a base deep within a desolate mountain in the wilderness; a base underground in the desert...

In these most secretive human bases, everyone is busy at this moment.

One after another, imposing and terrifying war machines were transported out of their maintenance bays by intelligent sliding vehicles.

They are roughly ten meters tall, and their bodies are painted in various colors depending on the team they belong to.

The building's concealed broadcast system emits three-dimensional command audio from all directions.

"Attention all electronics engineers, check equipment operation and monitor system readings; Attention all ammunition supply crew, long-range weapons are to be loaded with live ammunition..."

"A1 warehouse open, weapon restraints released, maintenance engineers please deliver according to serial number..."

P.S.: My OCD kicked in and I didn't want to see odd-numbered chapters, so I decided to post the combined 4000-word chapter today.
