A Great Suggestion

The Tower: "It's handled."

Magician: "What's the result?"

When Lan Qingyou appeared, Magician, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately jumped out to ask.

The Tower: "It's not the kind you drew, but the base is undoubtedly from the batch we brought out of the dungeon."

Magician: "I see. That's good then. At least it didn't leak from my end."

The Sun: "Good? Good my foot! Dammit, they actually dared to touch my things."

High Priestess: "@Justice, give us an explanation."

Hierophant: "Nothing else matters, but this batch represents the trust the people of Tarot Villa have in the Supreme Council. We've barely started collaborating and this kind of nonsense happens. You need to express our dissatisfaction to the Supreme Council."

The Emperor: "Indeed."

Death: "+1"

Putting aside the previous cooperation between Lan Qingyou and the Supreme Council for a moment...

After all, that was her personal business.

But this time, not only was a small portion of the villa directly collaborating with the Supreme Council, but almost everyone in the group had participated in the preliminary preparations before they set off.

So, it wasn't an exaggeration to say it involved the entire villa.

...

Seeing the indignation in the group, Chu Yuan felt a bit of a headache.

Although he knew the Supreme Council was full of people who couldn't let go of their former power, he never expected them to start making moves so soon.

It seemed he needed to be even more careful with those guys to avoid being sold out without even knowing it.

However, thanks to Lan Qingyou discovering it early this time.

Otherwise, this kind of resale behavior alone would have been enough to make Chu Yuan look like a fool inside and outside the villa.

A bunch of worthless vermin. It seemed he had to find something for those guys to do so they wouldn't spend all day causing him trouble.

Justice: "@All members, I am very sorry about this. I will conduct an investigation and give everyone a satisfactory explanation within three days."

After thinking it through, Chu Yuan first lowered his posture and apologized to everyone, promising to investigate and even giving a deadline, which showed great sincerity.

Since the incident happened on the Supreme Council's side, the people in the villa could only go through Chu Yuan to handle it.

Of course, they could certainly bypass Chu Yuan if they wanted to.

For example, Wheel of Fortune's divination was an excellent ability for tracking, but doing so would be no different from embarrassing Chu Yuan.

The world wasn't just about fighting and killing; they were all in the same group, so there was no need to be so heartless.

The consensus among the members of Tarot Villa was essentially: 'Let Chu Yuan handle it first; if it doesn't work, we'll do it ourselves.'

The Fool: "Since Justice has said so, let's leave it at that for now."

Although some in the group didn't benefit from that dungeon run, many of them were collaborating with the Supreme Council.

So, everyone was very concerned about this matter.

To be honest, someone had previously suggested giving a portion of the dividends to those in the group who didn't participate as a thank-you, but it was strongly rejected by those who didn't participate.

Who were they looking down on? Although the dividends were substantial, they weren't so poor that they needed charity.

Furthermore, if they really fell on hard times, the people in the group wouldn't just stand by and watch.

Of course, in this world, if you possessed knowledge, the only way to truly fall into ruin was probably through death.

High Priestess: "I have no objection."

Hierophant: "I think that works. Let's let Justice take a look first."

"+1" "+1" "+1"

A string of '+1' followed, clearly showing everyone's attitude, which allowed Chu Yuan to breathe a sigh of relief.

This matter was finally settled within the group.

Justice: "@The Tower, sorry for the trouble."

The Tower: "It's nothing. But I'll be confiscating this teleportation circle as my spoils of war. No problem, right?"

Justice: "Of course. It's what you captured."

Chu Yuan smiled.

If it were someone else, there might be an issue, but if someone in the group wanted it, the others wouldn't say anything.

Especially since it was Lan Qingyou, the witch, no one would have any objections.

After all, Lan Qingyou was the villa's unofficial favorite.

The beneficiaries were all doting on her in their own subtle ways.

The Tower: "That's great then. @Chariot, send me another energy conversion device."

Chariot: "Sent."

The Tower: "Thanks. @Magician, do you want me to send you a diagram of the teleportation circle drawn on this iron plate?"

Magician: "Yes, please. It's a good chance to see the differences between different mappers on the same subject."

When it came to academic matters, Magician naturally wouldn't miss this learning opportunity.

After all, everyone's ideas were different, and the things they created were naturally distinct, just like his and Lan Qingyou's.

The Tower: "Hey, you didn't say that about the teleportation circles I draw."

Lan Qingyou voiced her protest.

Magician: "Nonsense! Who would want to compare and learn from those incomprehensible scribbles of yours? Is that even something I can learn? I'm not ready to die yet!"

Seeing Lan Qingyou's protest, Magician, David Angel, couldn't help but snap.

Privacy, protection, energy saving, teleportation stability—those were all just the witch's excuses.

While it was true that the witch had achieved those things in her teleportation circles, she had also completely messed up the structure of the circles she built.

It was so messy that even he, the person who had completed the basic theory and drawn the basic structure, sometimes couldn't understand it.

But as a scholar in magic, there was one thing he was very clear about.

That was that the teleportation circle drawn by the witch was less of a 'teleportation circle' and more like a 'magic circle'.

Specifically, it was the kind of composite magic circle found in the knowledge of 《Basic Magic Circles》.

It was a high-end product that could operate on its own even without Chariot's energy conversion device.

Although, due to its size, this self-operation could only last for a short time—equivalent to emergency power after a blackout—it was still incredibly impressive.

It was just that it was prone to exploding if one wasn't careful, potentially leading to a 'crash and burn' for the person being teleported.

But even with such a 'minor flaw,' this thing was in a league of its own, something even he couldn't replicate.

That was why he was so annoyed after seeing Lan Qingyou's protest.

The Tower: "I can't help it. My understanding of magic circles is just too profound. Truly sorry about that."

Seeing Magician ranting, Lan Qingyou took the opportunity to twist the knife.

Righteousness: "The Tower's tone is a bit punchable. Go for it, Magician! Defeat the witch and you'll be the person who understands teleportation circles the most. I'll support you with a bottle of juice!"

The Star: "Then I'll support you with a pair of deerskin shoes."

Empress: "What an interesting suggestion. I'll support you with a pound of Crystal Rice."

Seeing everyone's playful teasing, Magician sneered: "A great suggestion. It makes me want to research Agent Orange."

Righteousness: "I'm out, I'm out."

Empress: "He's mad. He can't take a joke."

The Star: "No fun."

The Tower: "@Magician, speaking of which, can we open channels on the cards like on a magic desk?"
