"In the advancement of the magic system, mental strength and knowledge are particularly important."

"The former is the mage's key to connecting to the world, and the latter is the mage's representation of his understanding of the world."

"The combination of the two, using magic as the energy source to catalyze the release, is what is known as magic."

"Me now."

"There is still a long way to go on this extraordinary path of magic."

Allenson City, Magicians Association.

After Xu Xi exchanged the required items, he stroked the cover of the magic book with his palm, feeling the frosted texture, and couldn't help but sigh.

Any extraordinary path is not easy to walk, luck and talent are both indispensable.

Fortunately, he has the simulator to help.

As long as you can live to the end of your life, even if you don't become a god, I think you can still become a sanctuary magician.

Thinking like this.

Xu Xi put the extraordinary materials and magic books into the space ring, turned around, and saw a kind of precious incense from the far south burning on the exquisite candles on the walls around him.

The smell is very good, very similar to the smell of the herb, which makes people feel clear-headed.

At the same time, you can faintly hear a melodious female voice coming from the second floor of the association above your head, which makes you intoxicated.

The sound is nice.

Most likely, it was a banquet held by noble magicians.

Xu Xi paused as he was about to leave, not because he was attracted by the voice, but because the voice reminded him of a girl who was waiting for him to return home.

"Krisa, should she be cleaning right now?"

"I always feel a little uneasy..."

"Before you go back, buy her a New Year's gift. After all, she has been training magic very hard."

Xu is expected to return.

Walk towards the trading window of the Magician Association again.

After careful selection.

He chose a necklace that was white on the outside and blue on the inside. The outer silver ring was shining, and fragments of starstone were inlaid at short intervals, which looked very eye-catching.

The inner grooves hold the deep blue Aquamarine Pearl, an extraordinary material from the waters of the Little Leyen, which looks gorgeous.

When light hits it, it ripples and ripples like real tides.

It reflects a halo that immerses people.

"I hope Chrisa will like it," Xu Xi said, looking at the necklace in his hand.

From his personal perspective, he thinks this necklace goes well with the witch and will look great when worn. At the same time, the water-attributed Aquamarine Pearl can also provide some water magic bonuses, which is an extremely useful effect.

But there is such a thing as a gift.

Whether you like it or not depends on the person himself.

…

After paying the gold coins for the necklace, Xu Xi left the Magicians Association. Someone invited him to attend the banquet being held on the second floor, but he declined.

Then, Xu Xi rushed towards the market.

Prepare to buy some more ingredients and other necessary daily necessities.

“Hum—”

“Hum—”

The steam hissed and the cold wind whistled.

In this more severe winter than in previous years, Allenson's steam equipment is running faster.

It was like millions of birds chirping, steam and cold air collided and burst, converging into a huge cloud-like cluster.

But it won’t take long.

These clouds will be dispersed by huge steam airships or torn apart by high-speed flying mages.

"The combination of steam and magic is truly magical."

"I don't know how the humans in this world came to this strange path of coexistence."

Xu Xi sighed.

Once again, put on multiple layers of protection for yourself.

Use the Wind Ride technique to fly to the market in the city center.

He was very fast and quickly purchased the items he needed. Then he turned around and flew towards his own yard.

When landing.

A small figure has been waiting for a long time.

"Teacher, welcome back," said the girl with long silver-gray hair, and she stood on tiptoe to help Xu Xi take off his wide robe. At the same time, she clapped her hands a few times to shake off the snowflakes on it.

His expression was serious, as if he was doing something important.

"Yeah, I'm back," Xu Xi responded with a smile.

…

[This world is so big that it can even accommodate gods]

[This world is small, so small that you are the only one in Krisa’s eyes]

[After cleaning the house, the young witch stands at the gate of the courtyard, waiting for your return]

[She waited for you as she wished, helped you take off your robe, prepared soft shoes, and took the ingredients for tonight from you, preparing to cook the New Year's Eve dinner alone]

[You thought about it and stopped the girl.]

[After all, girls have only recently started to try cooking, and there are often various mistakes. Under normal circumstances, you would not care about these, but tonight is New Year's Eve, and you feel it is necessary to ensure the safety of your stomach.]

[You went to the kitchen at the right time and successfully prevented a kitchen explosion]

【You start cooking yourself】

[Mortal wisdom is activated...Observer is activated...]

[You understand the recipe in its entirety, you observe the details of the ingredients, from now on, all pots and pans are at your service, your cooking skills have been elevated to master level]

[You ask a girl what she likes to eat, and she replies, she likes whatever you make]

[You shudder for no apparent reason, and feel as if someone is watching you from nowhere]

[You ignored it and continued to cook. Soon, you made four dishes and a soup that smelled delicious. When you opened the lid, there was a hint of golden light.]

[Cooking skills are improving again——]

…

night time.

In the winter, there are few pedestrians on the streets of Allenson.

The cold fog enveloped everything, shrouding everything, but people's laughter and the joy of celebration connected and communicated with each other.

"Praise the God of Fire..."

"Praise the God of Blacksmiths..."

"Praise the Harvest Goddess..."

"His glory, His greatness, His splendor, are all gathered here, thank you..."

Under the leadership of the three divine churches in the city.

Praises rang out from all over Allenson.

In sharp contrast to this is the desolate and empty atmosphere in Xu Xi's home, with every corner filled with the coldness of winter.

Only on the dining table filled with delicious food does it seem a little lively.

Xu Xi sat in the main seat, Kresa sat on the right. Several glass lamps were shining brightly, illuminating the oil on the surface of the dishes and the detailed texture of the wide and large dining table.

"Another year has passed. Next year will be my seventh year in this simulated world."

Suddenly, Xu Xi felt a little dazed.

The life simulation is all too real.

Although in my mind, I still have memories of the real world and my first simulation, and I can call up the simulator panel at any time.

But after living in Allenson for a long time, perhaps one would subconsciously forget that this was a simulation.

"It's not a bad thing."

"When I was a kid, I always dreamed of traveling across the world. Now it can be considered a different kind of dream coming true."

Xu Xi let out a light breath, his expression relaxed.
