The two continued to farm the second level of the labyrinth for a while until Hu Wan and his brother leveled up their experience points to the max. They then found a hidden corner to lie down and log off.

The majority of monsters are not interested in gnawing on skeletons, which is one of the advantages of the skeleton soldiers and Undead Rats.

Unlike zombie units, which are also undead creatures, there is still the risk of being nibbled on by scavengers when logging off outdoors.

But as long as the skeleton soldiers are careful around slimes and some plant-type monsters that can digest bones, that's enough.

They agreed to log back in one hour later.

One cool thing about this game is that when you wear the VR glasses, your body basically enters a state of deep sleep, like a vegetative person, so you don't accumulate fatigue.

It's just a pity that the real body is too weak. Not only does it need to eat, drink, and take care of personal hygiene, but you occasionally have to get up and move, otherwise, he could really stay online 24 hours a day without logging off.

After taking off the VR glasses and tossing them on the computer desk, Ye Zhiqiu got up and went to the kitchen to cook a bowl of wontons.

It was autumn in the game, and the same was true in reality. The north wind howled outside the window, and just looking at it made one feel chilled to the bone.

Now was the perfect time to eat something warm and comforting.

Watching the flames under the stove and the bubbles bubbling up in the pot, he couldn't help but recall what Lord Demon King had said before.

"...Magic originates from the imagination of objective things."

"So-called magic is the technique by which a person's spirit is materialized."

Looking at his right hand, he unconsciously started imagining the shape of a flame... just like in the labyrinth.

"Fireball Technique..."

Although he knew it was silly to utter it aloud, he couldn't help but whisper the words, after all, there was no one else around.

And as expected, nothing happened in reality, just as he had predicted; his spirit just felt slightly tired afterward.

Of course.

Perhaps even the tiredness was just an illusion.

He was carefully recalling the feeling in the labyrinth when a shrill alarm suddenly jolted him from his reverie.

"Whoo—!"

That clearly wasn't the sound effect of the Fireball Technique—

but the foam that had boiled over from the pot, extinguishing the stove flame and the rising white smoke had triggered the kitchen smoke alarm!

Ye Zhiqiu hurriedly turned off the gas stove then opened the window to ventilate, waiting until that grating alarm sound stopped before his heart calmed down.

Looking at the wontons turned into mush, he couldn't help but scratch his head with a wry smile and muttered to himself.

"I must be crazy."

Actually trying to use magic in reality...

The more he thought about it, the more he laughed at himself.

Not to mention that the operating systems and underlying codes are not the same, even the most basic "ABCD" aren't the same thing, right?

...

"Lord Demon King! Oke, Oke has made a significant discovery!"

In the Great Graveyard, Oke's Magic Workshop, the excited Oke was shouting loudly under the wooden sign at the entrance of the cave.

Maybe because he had eaten too much, he had extra energy, and after dinner, he busied himself in the laboratory again, working harder than his boss.

Luo Yan was already sitting on the bed meditating, but then he heard that Youyou said this guy had been muttering his name all along. Afraid that there was an emergency, he got dressed again and hurried over.

"What significant discovery?"

"The fragments really are Mechanical Magic spells of the Mechanical God—from ow!"

Oke didn't finish his sentence before his forehead took a hit from a magic wand. With his bony hands covering his bald head, his eyes brimmed with tears as he stared at the Demon King.

Indeed.

People do judge by appearance.

Feeling the hardness inside, Luo Yan was even more convinced of this. If it were the Enchanting Demon instead, maybe it would be a different part of him that was hard.

"Oke, is this the so-called urgent news you spoke of?"

"No—of course not just that!"

Seeing the Demon King's disapproving face, Oke shivered with fear and hurriedly said.

"I copied the inscriptions from the debris and compared them to the runes I had learned in school before, I found many are the same! I remember the complete ones and can translate them into the common language!"

The so-called common language is the language of the Aus Empire.

At least that's the case on the territories of the surface-dwelling humans.

A look of interest appeared on Luo Yan's face, and he put away his magic wand.

"Oh? You mean you completed the runes on the fragments?"

"Yes!" Oke nodded with trepidation and stepped aside, "Honorable Lord Demon King, please follow me!"

Luo Yan wouldn't be bashful and followed Oke into his Magic Workshop.

Various parts and fragments were laid out on the floor by Oke, while the so-called inscriptions were copied and completed on sheets of rough paper by his side.

Seeing the crooked symbols, Luo Yan's eyebrows subtly lifted, and a strangely familiar feeling suddenly welled up in his heart.

Although he didn't recognize most of them, a few characters looked particularly familiar...

At the same time, Oke hurriedly picked up the rough papers from the ground, stacked them, and presented them to the Lord Demon King, explaining enthusiastically.

"This page of runes is applied to the golem's joint parts! They respectively represent rotation, direction, and calibration... mainly related to movement!"

"Then there's this page, mainly written on the inside of the golem's breastplate! Mainly signifying enhanced defense, and—"

Luo Yan: "And making the armor light?"

"Yes... eh?!" Oke looked at the Demon King in shock, his eyes wide and astounded, "You, Your Excellency, have you studied rune magic?"

Luo Yan shook his head subtly with a complex expression.
