Chapter 970: Chapter 28: Husky Planning to Sell Toys in the Otherworld

From afar, Isaac’s face immediately tightened with displeasure as he heard the ruckus coming from the young wizards’ dormitory.

"—What are you causing such a fuss about so late at night?"

He bellowed from outside the door, pushing it open with the authority of a dorm supervisor checking on the rooms, "Have you all finished your homework?"

Upon seeing Isaac enter from outside, the little wizards, previously crowding and bustling in the lounge, suddenly fell silent.

They obviously wanted to hide whatever they were holding, but they knew it was futile once Isaac had entered.

It was like when brothers in a dormitory huddled together watching a match—perhaps even riskier, like drinking beer and eating hot pot when suddenly a supervisor burst in with some never-before-seen strange guests.

—Heart stopped.

This green and timid, fearful emotion made Annan’s lips curl involuntarily.

He really did miss this lively and vibrant setting...

This lounge was actually for the young wizards to conveniently research and do homework. Along the outer edge, there were multilayered low tables common in libraries and bookstores, topped with some frequently used reference books, novels, and entertainment newspapers.

In the center of the room were eight square, long tables, similar to those used in board game stores, specially designed to accommodate study groups of six to eight wizards.

But now, they genuinely had become just like the tables in a board game store—

On these eight tables, different types of games were set up.

Annan glanced over and saw a "Treasure Pokémon Auto Chess" on one table, then spotted a colorful area control game with many noble-looking game pieces, a maze exploration game with each person having a deck of cards in front of them... and a game where the players put their hands on a Crystal Ball, using their consciousness to control a mech avatar in a bullet hell fight.

"The last one can’t really be called a board game,"

Annan couldn’t help but comment.

Because Annan and his group suddenly entered, all the little wizards immediately stopped their activities and stood up nervously looking at them.

The two wizards controlling the Crystal Ball were slow to react—one of them even looked over in fright without moving his hand away from the ball.

As a result, the character in front of him turned its head—raising its hand, it launched a black and red ominous stream of light towards Annan.

Isaac slightly raised his hand next to Annan, catching the stream of light.

The air in front of his hand suddenly twisted... as if it were like the air heated above a stove.

As the stream of light passed through this area, it spiraled like paint caught in a whirlpool, quickly diluting and completely vanishing into the air.

"I’m very sorry!"

The kid immediately knew he had caused trouble and hurriedly ran over to apologize with a bow.

"Quite interesting..."

But Isaac just smacked his lips, as if he had eaten the stream of light, and seriously commented, "I thought it was just a Stigmatization light, but it seems to have a burning property as well..."

"—Because that indeed has some burning damage,"

Husky’s voice popped out from the side.

Even as she saw the Gold-tier Wizard, there was not a hint of admiration in her eyes, let alone any trace of fear. Instead, she treated Isaac as a professional, leaning in enthusiastically and asking, "Initially, I wanted to create high temperatures, but the real damage to the mech would be considerable, plus the energy consumption would be too great. But if I just make the light red, it’s hard to explain that ’this is fire attribute damage,’ so I changed it to low-temperature light that sticks and burns..."

She spoke and walked to the table, reaching for the Crystal Ball.

The red light shone directly onto her hand, but it stopped at her fingertips. From a distance, it looked like a glowing butterfly.

"Look... the temperature is very low. Powered by green fire, the final temperature won’t exceed forty degrees. It won’t damage the mech’s external paint, but it can stick and burn for three seconds. It wouldn’t hurt even if it touches human skin."

While Husky was speaking, the flame gradually extinguished.

Her fair fingertips were not damaged at all.

Isaac extended his hand, touching Husky’s fingertips lightly with his forefinger and middle finger. Analyzing the remains, he quickly understood its properties and components, and thoughtfully nodded, "That’s the idea, huh...

"If you add blood from a young male into the transformation material, the temperature should be a bit higher, and the light would appear brighter and warmer. The duration of the flame should extend from one to two times."

"Looks are indeed important, but balance is also crucial... If the flame burns too long, it would be unfairly advantageous for the fire attribute."

Husky shook her head, refusing.

Isaac, intrigued, asked further, "Shouldn’t that be too strong? Why does it turn out to be unfair to the fire?"

"For the game I designed, if there’s no penetration defense and if one remains unharmed for a period, the energy shield gradually recovers... If the fire sticks for too long, we must significantly lower its damage values," Husky explained.

"I see."

Though he had never encountered anything similar, Isaac immediately realized something.

He extended his left hand, supporting his chin with his thumb and forefinger, and mused, "I can understand that. Such a game should involve resource exchange through continuous probing. Ultimately establishing a big advantage and then launching a brutal assault to completely crush the opponent... just like a high-tier wizard’s battle.

"With sustained damage, it could block the opponent’s recovery tactics. If the burning lasts too long, it would hold too strong an advantage during resource exchange... Therefore, for balance, the damage one can inflict to the opponent’s resources must be significantly reduced when exchanging resources."

"You really get it, lad!"

Husky’s eyes lit up, "Exactly! The burning duration I set is three seconds, not too long nor too short, actually encouraging frames with fire damage to actively attack the opponent. It’s like an intense fire offensive.

"But if ’fire’ turned into ’poison,’ tactics would change to mainly dodging and applying the fire status. Considering balance, the damage would then be very scraping. Because overly sneaky gameplay lowers both game and viewing experiences a lot..."

"Let me introduce first," Annan interrupted the ever-excited Husky, "This is Husky—this Mister is Isaac, a Gold-tier Wizard. He will be your mentor, team leader, and sponsor for the coming period."

"Boss, hello, I’m a newbie!"

Husky reflexively greeted respectfully, "I’m pleased to meet you for the first time!"

She barely managed to hit the brakes.

Given her personality, she would normally greet someone with much more enthusiasm. But she suddenly realized that she was now playing a female character—perhaps she should be a bit more reserved.

Yes, that was already her idea of being "reserved..."

"No need to be so formal, beautiful lady."

Isaac’s smile was a bit stiff.

He cleared his throat and politely responded.
