Chapter 21 PUA Never Goes Out of Style
"Just beat me to death!" Professor Jorz rolled on the ground angrily.
You can't run away, and you can't hide. Apart from being able to cast a Mage's Hand infinitely, it doesn't have any offensive spells.
Faced with Fang Yu's continuous attacks of "What's wrong?" "What's wrong?" "Everything is wrong, what's wrong?" "You know it's wrong, but you still do it?" "You're just a jerk who only cares about eating and not about being beaten", he could only give up completely.
"None of us can leave anyway."
The crystal ball flickered and turned light gray. "If we can't find the magic crystal, we won't be able to leave. I'll soon fall into a deep sleep again. When I wake up next time, tens of thousands of years may have passed."
"And you will die alone in this closed demiplane."
Speaking of this, Professor Jorz's tone was quite gloating.
"Who the hell told you I can't leave? If I couldn't leave, how did I get in?" Fang Yu looked at him as if he were a fool.
"You can leave here!?" Professor Jorz jumped three feet high.
Fang Yu chuckled: "You stupid pomelo, haven't you realized until now that I'm not from this world at all?"
"I only have level 22 clearance. I can't go anywhere except your room. Where did the magic crystal come from?"
"I'm not a magic item like you. I can't stay here for over ten thousand years, can I? I'll be teleported back in half an hour."
The crystal ball flashed violently several times, and yellow light appeared on its pale gray body. "Impossible! The plane channel has been closed. No one can leave from here!"
Fang Yu showed a look of contempt: "It's not wrong to say that you are a stupid grapefruit."
"For over an hour, you've said it's impossible so many times, but the results are always yes."
"Whether you believe it or not, I'll be leaving in fifteen minutes. You can stay here by yourself. But you can sleep. Who knows, you might sleep for tens of thousands of years before someone wakes you up."
"I am Professor Yorz, the most knowledgeable person in the entire plane!" White steam came out of the hole in the crystal ball.
"When Sekalis created me, he only gave me the ability to solve problems. Professor Jorz doesn't need to find problems. Only ignorant humans like you have so many questions!"
Oh, I see, artificial intelligence.
No wonder this thing is so slow, it turns out to be a living search engine.
"Can you really leave here and return to the main plane?" Professor Yorz hesitated for a long time, and said in a flattering tone: "Then can you take me with you?"
Fang Yu was delighted and started to speak in PUA style: "Take you with me? That won't work. Do you know how much it would cost me to teleport you back? Your value is not enough for me to pay any extra price."
Professor Yorz had never seen such a dirty trick before, and immediately said, "I am a legendary archmage..."
Fang Yu waved his hand and said disdainfully, "It doesn't matter who it is. More than ten thousand years have passed, and all the legendary wizards have turned to ashes. I've never even heard of the name Sekalis."
Professor Jorz's heart skipped a beat.
Yes, that’s sixteen thousand years.
Even if the legendary archmage used every possible means to extend his lifespan, it would not be possible to exceed 2,500 years.
Theoretically, a lich that reincarnates as an undead creature can live forever, but I have never heard of anyone living for such a long time.
After all, the consumables needed for so many spells are the Lich's Life Box, and the liches in the main plane have basically been hunted down, so the arcane mages are waiting for their peers to replenish the supply.
"I helped Nasri earn a lot of magic crystals!" Under Fang Yu's guidance, Professor Jorz began to work hard to prove his worth.
"If you can take me with you, I will help you earn magic crystals for a year... no, three years! Help you earn three years' worth of magic crystals!"
"Haha." Fang Yu smiled wryly. "After so many years, do you know the evolution and development of knowledge in the outside world? Have you updated your knowledge? Do you have a habit of lifelong learning?"
"Do you know what Fourier transform, CML line, BSM formula, and DuPont analysis are?"
"Do you know what calculus is, what a limit is, and the role of Laplace expansion in understanding the properties of linear transformations?"
"What determines the value of a functional? Why is Wiener filtering theory the foundation of stochastic control theory? What famous models are the core of Markov processes?"
"How is the BK fixed point theorem used to prove the existence of Nash equilibrium? How can we use graph theory to analyze the structure of cooperative games?"
"What are the advantages and disadvantages of the Black Scholes model and Monte Carlo simulation? Why use hash functions to protect the integrity of blockchain data?"
Professor Jorz seemed to have a spinning mosquito coil all over his body. Fang Yu licked his lips and continued to attack: "You don't know anything, how can you help me earn magic crystals?"
"I, I..." After hearing Fang Yu say so many powerful-sounding nouns, Professor Jorz suddenly felt that the thing he was most proud of seemed to be shattered.
Doubts and denials about his own self-worth made Professor Jorz feel insecure and fearful for the first time since his birth, with gray and purple lights flashing alternately.
Have I really become a worthless piece of trash?
This ball is quite interesting. Its color changes with its mood, and the PUA effect is immediate.
Professor Jorz's expression made Fang Yu pull back again. "But you're not completely useless. Although your knowledge is outdated, it still has some value in studying the history of ancient arcane arts."
Seeing Professor Yoelz emitting a green light representing hope again, Fang Yu pushed it again: "It's a pity that you are a magical item with independent consciousness and no controllable power. Taking you back is too risky, so forget it."
Professor Jorz said anxiously, "How can there be any risk? I can guarantee that I won't cause you any trouble."
Fang Yu stared at the crystal ball with ill intent: "Promise? What can you promise? I never believe in verbal promises."
Professor Jorz suddenly shuddered, and the crystal ball began to glow a bright amber.
Seeing this, Fang Yu guessed that the crystal ball might be on guard, so he pretended to pick up his phone and showed Professor Yoelz the countdown alarm clock that he had set according to the time on the Rubik's Cube. "There are only twelve minutes left before I teleport away. I still have some preparations to make before returning, so please feel free to do what you want."
Although he couldn't understand the Arabic numerals on Fang Yu's mobile phone, the constantly ticking countdown still put a lot of psychological pressure on Professor Jorz.
Fang Yu began to pack the items in his backpack while muttering to himself, "This place is pretty nice, but it's a pity I don't know where everyone has gone."
"I don't believe they all left through the dimensional channel. There are many houses in the city where the food looks like it was just cooked. If so many people left through the dimensional channel, I don't think they would still be in the mood to cook."
"Outside the Lorin Tower is a ruin, more like it's been hit by some sudden catastrophe. Hiss, a power that even the Supreme Legendary Mage can't resist is really terrifying to think about."
Hearing Fang Yu's mumbling, a part of the crystal ball suddenly turned dark purple.
