The Doomsday Lord: Starting as a Insect Queen-Chapter 265 - 176 Intermediate Main Character Aura

"What? The spell I researched has caught the eye of His Highness the Lord?"

That very evening, Hong Chao received news from his witch classmate, realizing that the willow he had nurtured was finally bearing fruit.

While he maintained his usual composure on the surface, his heart was already bursting with joy.

"Yes, congratulations!

Not only did you research the spell on your own, but it even caught the attention of His Highness!

You might even be granted an audience with him!

You have no idea how difficult it is to get a close audience with the Primordial Witch; it’s a dream for many witches!

Ah, why must you be a human? Even you seem so formidable, making us witches feel somewhat redundant...

Hey, why don’t you transform into a witch?

With your talent, if you were to become a witch, imagine how powerful you would be!

You might even reach the level of Miss Bai Fa and become a trusted lieutenant under His Highness!

Then you wouldn’t have to constantly worry about your own growth..."

This was not the first time he had heard such persuasion, and he knew that climbing to that position was not as simple as it seemed, aware that his current value was not enough.

However, Hong Chao no longer argued but consoled his secretly admiring companion instead:

"Don’t pout and look unhappy, you were involved in the spell too, weren’t you?

If there really is a summons, you will surely be included."

The witch by his side first brightened up, but then her spirits drooped again, and the tail she was swishing happily a moment ago also became limp and spiritless.

"Sigh, it’s not the same...

I know my own abilities; you led the development and testing of the spell, I was just assisting.

Even without me, you could still complete the spell’s research...

Ah, I am such an incompetent witch!"

Seeing that continuing this way the witch’s spirits would not recover, Hong Chao quickly changed the topic.

"By the way, speaking of which, since you know there will be a reward, have you seen anything online about what they will give us?"

With the shift to this topic, the witch perked up again and quickly read out the information from the internet.

"Although there are no specific details about the reward yet, there’s already news circulating, reportedly, aside from resources, there will also be rewards personally given by His Highness!

But the specific notification might only come out tomorrow.

The scoop is from a top-tier cat who happened to overhear His Highness’s decision!

The news is absolutely reliable!"

Hong Chao understood clearly. Even though there is no formal notification yet, the release of the news by a cat already indicates that it was sanctioned by His Highness.

He knew that in the territory, any creature under any lord would be absolutely loyal to her, and it would be impossible for them to go against her will and leak information randomly.

He guessed that this broad release of news might also be a kind of momentum building, aiming to promote him as a human who had created a powerful spell, to motivate other witches studying spells.

This was exactly the result he wanted; his recent efforts including his extensive spell research had not been in vain.

As for the specifics of the reward, he still trusted this lord whom he had only seen from a distance; he nodded and pretended to be excited.

"I better prepare well then, to make a good impression in front of His Highness tomorrow.

Well, I’ll leave the shop to you guys for tonight."

He waved to the witches in the shop, received their blessings and envious farewells, and quickly returned to his temporary resting room in the research institute located in the Upper City District.

This place was a "dormitory" he had specifically requested,——although even for him a simple request was quite extraordinary for witches.

After all, the witches who moved around within Eternal Life City almost all had their own residences.

Usually, with the aid of Sky Control Technique, even if one moved from one end of Eternal Life City to the other it took only a few seconds, naturally eliminating the need for dormitories.

While he was just a 3rd-tier Mage who had only newly encountered the Sky Control Technique, he couldn’t use it like witches for transportation.

He was just an ordinary human, not possessing the formidable strength of witches.

He was very clear about this, even though those witch classmates of his who seemed less capable than him were actually all 5th-tier beings.

While he was confident in his journey of studying spells, if it really came down to fighting, a hundred of him couldn’t beat one witch.

Such was the overwhelming gap in pure strength.

This formidable power was something he often coveted, and under the occasional persuasion from his witch classmates, he even had thoughts more than once about "Why not just yield?"

After all, one just needs to "agree", and merely by transforming the body into a witch, one could instantly gain a 5th-tier strength along with terrifying talent—who wouldn’t be tempted?

He had observed and researched a lot during this period, and he had already understood many characteristics of witches.

Initially, he had wanted to find some flaws in this race, but aside from not observing any reproductive ability of witches, they seemed almost like a perfect race!

Everything that humans desired manifested in witches: talent, physical ability, and reportedly, an almost endless lifespan...

Simply perfectly aligned with his desires to become stronger.

He had consistently resisted transforming himself, just unable to overcome that mental barrier and his attachment to the girl he held in his heart.

Of course, the former had almost dissipated under the encouragement of witches, but the latter mattered more.

If he were to also transform into a witch, then it would be impossible for him to achieve a romantic relationship with her.

The desire for sensual pleasures allowed him to firmly resist the temptations

Everything else seemed secondary...

He took off his jacket and hung it by the door; Hong Chao then went to the desk nearby, taking out his small notebook from a hidden corner of the desk.

It was filled with densely packed knowledge of various spells, including the combined casting techniques for cats which he had already submitted, as well as other combat spells.

In addition to this, there were many more thoughts on spells gathered in this notebook.

These were all his imaginative ideas combining the magic of this world with the technology from his previous world.

Indeed, he was a person from outside this world.

As an unfortunate low-level worker, he unexpectedly transmigrated after dying suddenly, finding himself in the body of someone from the Otherworld with the same name.

However, he did not have a system, and started in a context where the Sanctuary was destroyed, his only golden finger being the highly clear modern memories in his mind, almost forming a library.

Given this second chance by fate, he naturally wanted to seize it well.

Especially after confirming that this world had Extraordinary Abilities, he developed an endless yearning for them.

After sharing his ideas with the father in this world, he received immense praise and was told that he had finally seen sense.

What followed was a lot simpler; he first borrowed from the successful experience of his previous world, leveraging this city’s worship of the local Lord to start a "merchandise" business.

Besides clothing, there were various scale models and a variety of items printed with animations of the Lord and so forth...

No one in this world really pursued him for copyrights anyway.

Even though this idea only benefitted him at first, the follow-up effects were greatly diminished.

But he also made his first bucket of gold through this method, obtaining the chance to learn spells.

Subsequently, things progressed naturally, just like the protagonists he had read about in novels, smoothly sailing through.

He studied spells, obtained a famous teacher (Bai Fa), and impressed everyone at school with his creativity and hard work.

He even met many beautiful women he would never have dared to imagine before! And recently they had even evolved into even cuter Kemonomimi!

Of course, since the entire Upper City District was filled with witches, this was not strange.

Now, through his efforts, he even caught the attention of the actual owner of this territory, the mysterious Lord!

Via the identity of his original body, he was also eligible to know some secrets.

For example, he knew that the mysterious Lord was likely another transmigrator, but the difference in strength made him not intend to reveal his identity rashly, instead content to be a "native genius".

Moreover, he wasn’t the kind to defiantly overturn others’ rule to prove himself.

Becoming stronger and living a better and more comfortable life were his desires.

"Ha, the witches’ path of Spells has just begun, although technology also exists here, no witch has yet tried to truly combine the two and create real Magic Technology.

Even teacher Bai Fa only pioneers Rune Studies following the thought processes of Magic, not combining scientific technology; a lot depends on miracles produced by Magic.

This allows me to create some magic based on scientific theories, and perhaps I can even become the founder of a Magic School...

Forget it, what’s more important now is to perfect my idea soon.

If I get the chance tomorrow, maybe I will truly gain admiration and even reach one of the top positions in this territory..."

Although Hong Chao in the store rejected the suggestion to convert to a higher position by transforming into a witch, it doesn’t mean he didn’t entertain the thought. ƒгeewёbnovel.com

However, stepping back ten thousand steps, even if he really agreed to transform.

Based on his current achievements, to attain a high position as suggested still lacks some truly decisive factors.

And now, he was about to bring out that very thing!

Once he had this qualification, he could also confront the issue of transforming into a witch more comfortably...

Fetching a fresh piece of draft paper, Hong Chao began writing the title at the top—

"Discussion on the Potential and Practice of Guiding Magic Research with Scientific Thinking"

...

Not far under the giant tree, Bai Yi, who was enjoying dinner in the hollow of the tree, suddenly closed her eyes.

After digesting the synchronized information from her Avatar, she opened her eyes and began contemplating the intelligence she had just gathered.

"So he’s truly a transmigrator...

His sole focus on becoming stronger does no harm, and he’s even a decent talent...

Hmm, at least it’s been proven that, after actively disconnecting thought synchronization and using Spiritual Suggestion, believing oneself to be reviewing the Avatar under one’s command allows safe thought access.

Not having to always forcibly stop due to some mishap during lunch, or just missing useful information...

I never thought the protagonist’s halo actually existed..."

Bai Yi felt somewhat helpless; just now, her Avatar suddenly whimsically decided to check Hong Chao’s panel, and she really saw the talent called [Intermediate Main Character Aura].

[Intermediate Main Character Aura] (Red): Favored by fate, protected by ■■, truly deserving of the [Protagonist], making the bearer luckier, always avoiding most harmful things, occasionally tested by fate...

She, always relying on various better methods, really hadn’t expected the answer she had always guessed to appear before her in such a simple way...

...

Witch of the Star Sea: This title forever belongs to one person; she is the pioneer of modern magic science, the navigator leading witches to the stars and seas and one of the most detested names among all little witches. Due to her mysterious nature and rare public appearances, there are many speculative rumors...

[Note: According to unofficial historical records, it is said that her early research greatly coincides with that Human Mage, Hong Chao, and there might be suspicions of plagiarism]

[Note on the note: Yes! That Hong Chao is still alive! Support the call for justice! Let’s go, sisters, we support you spiritually!]
