He smiled in relief and looked at the latest comment that had just been refreshed.
[Magic Network Risk Warning: This technique has been marked as risky. Creators and users are advised to be mindful of the rules of discourse.]
"Wow!" Latis exclaimed, her eyes wide. "The Magic Network even has AI censorship?!"
……
……
"Wait a moment, the Magic Network has a new notification."
Mitu put down the new priest's robe in her hand, nodded to the nun in front of her, and opened the magic network.
"Risk warning, urgent action required..." she muttered to herself as she navigated to the corresponding spell, mimicking the magic runes a couple of times, and wondered to herself:
"It's not unsafe... Look at what the creator said in their introduction... Hmm?!"
The obscene description made Mitu's face turn bright red instantly. She panicked and slumped onto a chapel bench. Just as she was about to immediately seal the spell, she suddenly noticed the name of its creator.
"W-How could it be him?!"
Mitu immediately stopped what she was doing, stood still, and hesitated for a moment amidst her rapidly pounding heart, silently repeating:
"Let's take one more look..."
Suppressing her shame and agitation, Mitu read through the introductory chapter, then finally let out a sob and covered her face.
A concerned question came through the mental link, and Mitu responded with a slight tremor in her body:
"I'm fine... I'm really fine..."
She took a deep breath, opened her wet eyes, and after struggling for a moment, turned off the risk warning for "The Mage's Black Hand".
"I think I should remind him privately... This time the notification got to me, but next time it might not be me handling it..."
Mitu rubbed her still burning cheeks, cupping her face in her cool little hands and thinking:
"How could he write something like this! It's so embarrassing... Isn't he afraid of being punished by the goddess?"
She looked up at the nun, who still looked concerned, and smiled shyly:
"Okay, it's all taken care of."
The nun nodded, lifted the priest's robe, inspected the workmanship, and then reached out to help Mitu untie the sash.
"Oh, it's alright, Sister, I can do it myself..."
Inside the chapel of the Silly Cat Cafe, the sounds of two girls playfully fighting echoed.
"What do you mean it smells good! I just put incense when I was drying my underwear..."
"Yes, the size does feel just right. The tailors at the Holy Temple are very thoughtful."
"Eh, do I have to try on new pantyhose too? Okay, fine..."
"Ahhh, don't talk nonsense! What do you mean 'soaked'? I, I'm not! I don't know! It's definitely sweat, it's sweat!"
……
……
"Heh, it's just a risk warning. It's a form of recognition for the novelist! A writing career isn't complete without being reviewed and flagged for risks!"
Latis chuckled, disconnected the magic network, thought for a moment, and then opened the emulator.

"What the hell is this?" Latis glanced at the advertisement, bewildered, and muttered, "I'll definitely have to ask 'Endless Dimension Travel Agency' what kind of business they run..."
He shook his head, glanced at the options for interdimensional travel, and thought to himself:
"Last time I confirmed that interdimensional travel would consume an unpredictable amount of real-world time, so if I choose this next one... I should at least leave myself two days of free time..."
"We don't have much Goddess Water left, it's time to conduct a simulation."
Latis exhaled, flashed a confident smile, and shouted:
"Simulator, Path of the Sage, start!"
Chapter 150 Can social practice be considered skipping class?
[Although I don't know why you started the simulation at this hour, since the first thing you do in the simulation is sleep until dawn, this emulator will just assume you miss it, haha. So, you're still not used to being away from your daily simulation? You're really just a nobody, Mr. Latis!]
"?"
The very first paragraph completely baffled Latis. He hesitated, wanting to say something but holding back, and finally sighed deeply, silently muttering:
"It's already like this, let it be..."
Feeling like he wanted to escape, he sat there on pins and needles, looking down.
When you woke up at daybreak, you were completely bewildered and immediately shouted, "Where did I end up? Is this still Lundia?"
[You watch as a thick tree branch, seemingly stealthily peeks through the window and into your pants, stealthily snaps it in two. Alas, what a narrow-minded man! Brother Niu didn't kill the branch, yet the branch dies because of Brother Niu. What a tragedy!]
After using your super digestion ability to devour all the broken tree branches, you burped and suddenly realized your annual quest had been refreshed!
"Head to Silverpath Town in the Wilderness Territory to help the townspeople withstand the impending summer and autumn sandstorms." After reading the brief mission description, you couldn't help but stroke your chin. This mission seemed more like a construction assistance mission than a combat mission. You wondered how difficult it would be.
You carefully picked up your clothes one by one from the branches weaving through the room and put them on, then pushed open the door, completely bewildered.
[Before you came into view was the lush, verdant Mage's Territory, as if a secondary transformation had occurred on this land overnight. You watched in awe as Frico busily cast weed-clearing spells—her little cabin was being pushed up by the weeds. After a moment of silence, you looked up at Ateliers flying in the air.]
The half-elf noticed your gaze, smiled faintly, and landed beside you, explaining her guess as to why this scene had occurred.
[It turns out that this forest valley had been almost abandoned for a century outside the city of Lundia. Although some mages had considered using the land to build mage towers, regulations prohibited altering the terrain, and more importantly, the cost was simply too high. Even high-ranking mages with individual power had to carefully consider whether investing several years' worth of income was worthwhile.]
Therefore, over the past century, countless kinds of plants have grown here, some brought by birds, others thrown in by idle mages. Some of these are ancient tree species, the origins of which even the half-elves are unsure.
She excitedly tells you that although the entire Mage's Territory looks like a mess at first glance, with just a little effort, it will become even more beautiful.
You breathed a sigh of relief and comforted her. In your eyes, the half-elf surrounded by the forest appeared even more ethereal and pure. Her not-so-long silver hair fluttered gently in the wind, making her seem much more otherworldly.
[You thought about it and decided to go out and check out the college's arrangements. If few people were going, you planned to skip... no, how could you call that "skipping class"? That's "social practice"!]
Just as you were about to leave the mage's territory, you suddenly saw Teacher Yin at the door of the second-floor guest room! She looked at her uniform jacket, pierced by tree branches and hanging by the door, and seemed about to cry.
"Teacher Yin, are you alright?" You approached Teacher Yin, grinning as you asked.
Wearing only an undershirt, Silver Hugh instinctively took a step back, then calmly said, "Little La, you, I, I'm fine..."
Looking at her tightly clenched braid, you suddenly wonder how she really feels about you. After all, you've kissed and hugged; she should at least have some feelings for you, right?
You hesitated for a moment, then, under her anxious gaze, stepped into the room and closed the door.
"Good morning, Little La... Aren't you going to class?" Yin Xiu'er stammered out a dry, professional sentence after a long pause. Seeing her avoid eye contact, you couldn't help but laugh.
"What's wrong... what are you laughing at..." Yin Xiuer asked softly. When you didn't answer, she tightened her face and started fiddling with her braids again.
Looking at the rising sun outside the window, you suddenly hesitated whether you should take a direct approach, since judging from Ms. Yin's behavior, she was indeed very timid.
However, before you could even speak, she seemed to have made up her mind and mustered her courage to say, "Anyway, I'm so sorry! What happened before was my fault! My mood was a bit too strange at the time... I'll make it up to you! I can, I can tutor you every day... Sunday, even Sunday..."
Hearing her words, which sounded like she was offering herself, you almost couldn't help but laugh. You sat down next to her, and as she trembled slightly, you asked, "Teacher Yin, do you like me?"
[Silver Hugh instinctively tugged at her braid, then snapped back to reality with a start from the pain. You saw her face flush, but after a struggle, she sank into dejection. Under your surprised gaze, she lowered her head and whispered, "Can I not say it... I'm sorry..."]
You recall the expression on her face just now, and you already have the answer in your heart. However, even you are a little troubled by her current state. Your intuition tells you that she has many concerns, but you don't know what they are related to.
"It's okay, we can talk about it later." You chuckled, about to roughly pat her head, but unexpectedly, she took a deep breath, gently pulled you up, and let you lie on her lap.
"Perhaps I really am a very incompetent teacher..." You hear her sighing voice in your ear. Even so, her touch is unusually warm. You feel her thighs unconsciously tense up, and you inhale the scent of skywort on her body, and can't help but sigh again.
Beneath her thin undershirt, her slender waist pressed against the back of your head. You could almost hear the rumbling of her stomach every time class ended. Although she seemed a bit clumsy and silly no matter how you looked at her, Ms. Yin was undeniably highly skilled at her job at such a young age. You savored the contrast and suddenly resolved to find a way to break through her defenses.
After presenting Teacher Yin with a new uniform so she could continue working at the academy, you said goodbye to your family and left the mage's quarters.
[The daily newspapers sold by newsboys featured headlines like "Beauty and the Beast? Light and Darkness?" You had originally wanted to see how others praised your heroic deeds from the previous night, but upon seeing these headlines, you turned and left the newspaper stand without looking back.]
"Fake news!" you cursed, then added, "Fuck news!"
Standing on the streets of the outer city, you looked around at the rows of mage towers and breathed a sigh of relief. The situation in your mage territory was not an isolated case; many mage towers were overwhelmed by the rampant vegetation. Among the lush greenery, you even saw a few flower buds that looked like nipples, mercilessly crushing several mage towers...
You remained silent for a moment, feeling as if you had been mentally polluted. After using the "yellow waste" in your mind to erase the memory of what had just happened, you went to the Hines Mansion with a light and cheerful feeling.
The reasons you blatantly skipped class are threefold: first, you've almost finished your classwork for the week; second, you've seen many mages leaving Lundia in groups, and you're quite interested; and third, this is a simulation, and you feel the need to experience the life of not waiting at red lights while playing GTA.
With a series of clattering sounds, Jennifer opened the door for you. Although it was early morning, you could still see a faint glow emanating from her, and for some reason, you began to wonder if she was glowing all over…
[Anyway, after a bit of playful fighting, you hooked your arm around Jennifer's shoulder and told her about your annual task, under the housekeeper's murderous glare. Jennifer was taken aback and said, "Didn't I just go there a couple of days ago? Why are you going there again?"]
"What does it matter? It didn't affect today's, did it?" you laughed heartily. Then, through Jennifer's narration, you learned about the map layout of the Wilderness Territory.
[It turns out that although Lundia is located to the east of Senhai Territory and Shanhuang Territory, one does not depart directly from Lundia to reach Shanhuang Territory.]
Because the eastern part of the Mountain Wasteland borders the large pit beneath the floating island, it is sparsely populated and lacks suitable trade routes. Jennifer usually teleports to Siyuan Flower Castle or Mayan City, the northern main city of the Forest Sea Territory, and then departs from the corresponding city to the Mountain Wasteland.
As for why no teleportation array was set up in the Mountain Wasteland, Jennifer didn't know either. She could only helplessly guess that it might be because the Holy City of Romnia and the Holy City of Promia of the Church of Light were both located in the Mountain Wasteland, and due to some taboo, the establishment of a teleportation array was not allowed.
[Since you're both easygoing, you decided to set off on the mission the very next day after making some preparations. Jennifer won't be banned from returning to Lundia even if the mission fails, but you feel she's more concerned about it than you are, probably because this is your first time fighting together!]
[You plan to go to No. 1 Tianhai Street to inquire with the dwarf shopkeeper about the Mountain Wasteland and to buy some necessary equipment. The dwarves in this world don't have a fixed dwarf kingdom; they can be found in various mountain ranges. As the Mountain Wasteland is a region entirely composed of hills, it's no surprise that dwarves are present there.]
"Mountain Wasteland?" Lingling took off her large apron, revealing her dark skin. She thought for a moment and said, "I still have a piece of equipment I haven't finished making. How about this, you do something for me first, and I'll tell you when you get back. I'll also craft a necessary item for you while I'm at it."
For some reason, you felt like you were doing a quest chain. To avoid missing the remaining tasks, you tried to trigger the event while near Lingling for ten minutes, until she finally gave up and pushed you out of the shop, at which point you regretfully left.
