278: Chapter 278 Hiring a Tutor

Under Nie Ning's coaxing, Xiao Guang showed interest in wizard knowledge.

Unfortunately, his teaching level was truly limited.

Xiao Guang was neither like Heloise, who had entered the field long ago, nor like Sensen, who was innately enlightened and self-taught.

Although he was smart, he was, after all, just starting to learn.

Fortunately, Xiao Guang's Spiritual Power was high enough that his memory was still top-notch; even if he didn't understand, he could at least remember it.

However, this ended up squeezing Nie Ning's own time.

Recently, because he needed to recover from his injuries, his time was relatively abundant.

But once he advanced to the fourth rank, he probably wouldn't have that much time to teach Xiao Guang.

Furthermore, his own knowledge reserve was also lackluster; back then, he only managed to barely keep up with the pace of mainstream wizards because Heloise taught him in her spare time.

The biggest problem now lay here: the textbooks in Saint Ville World and Belvis World were different.

From Nie Ning's current perspective, Saint Ville World was several versions behind, causing the knowledge he had previously mastered to be somewhat outdated.

If it weren't for the fusion sorcery and Supernatural Adaptability left behind by Audrey to provide a safety net, his current strength would likely be quite a bit worse than the mainstream wizards here.

...

The next day, morning.

After a month, Nie Ning stepped out of the hotel again.

Looking up at the rising sun in the distance, Nie Ning couldn't help but take a deep breath.

However, due to his supernatural sense of smell, besides the fresh fragrance emitted by the plants, he also smelled dog feces.

After dry-heaving twice, Nie Ning left the hotel.

Taking the tram back to the west of the city, everything was still much the same as before, as if the incident with the supernatural artifacts had never happened.

Nie Ning wandered around and eventually found the shop where he had previously purchased materials.

"Mr. Bronk, you've come."

Just as he reached the door, Saya greeted him with a face full of smiles and then asked, "I wonder what you would like to buy?"

"Didn't you say last time you'd show me around? I happen to have something I need your help with. See when you have time."

Nie Ning looked at Saya and asked.

Compared to their last meeting, Saya was dressed much more exquisitely.

Saya paused upon hearing this.

Although she did want to do business with Nie Ning, now that he was actually asking her out, she felt a bit strange in her heart.

Because wizards always emphasized the exchange of benefits, but she clearly didn't have much that could attract him, so...

At this moment, as if having made up her mind, Saya's face showed a warm smile.

"Of course I have time. There's nothing much going on right now. I'll go tell the supervisor."

Nie Ning nodded; that was for the best.

...

Not long after, Saya came out wearing a small white dress.

The two of them strolled along the street.

As a capital of gastronomy, there were naturally many delicious things here.

Nie Ning took Saya along to eat and drink, while Saya acted like a tour guide, introducing the city to Nie Ning.

However, this caused dissatisfaction in Xiao Guang.

Xiao Guang hid inside the backpack whimpering and whining, intentionally trying to attract attention.

Left with no choice, Nie Ning could only pack some food for Xiao Guang, which finally calmed him down for the time being.

After wandering for a while, the two of them found a restaurant and sat down.

...

At this moment, Saya sat opposite Nie Ning, feeling somewhat restless, as if she had already imagined what her fate would be in a while.

Along the way, Nie Ning had taken her everywhere to eat and drink. The magic crystals spent alone reached two hundred mid-grade magic crystals. She hadn't owned that much money since she entered the wizarding world.

In her view, she probably wouldn't be going back today.

"Do you know if there are any idle wizards around here who are proficient in Alchemy and runes?"

Nie Ning withdrew his gaze from the window and asked after taking a sip of water.

"Alchemy? Runes?"

Saya was full of doubt: "There are, but the people I know aren't as strong as you."

"They don't need to be stronger than me. It's mainly that I've been busy with cultivation and am not very proficient in these two areas, so I want to find a wizard proficient in these two types to resolve my doubts."

Nie Ning didn't hide it; this was also one of the reasons he came out.

Instead of pondering Alchemy and runes alone, it was better to just find a teacher to teach him and cram knowledge in these two areas.

"Uh, then wouldn't it be fine if you just signed up for a cram school?"

Saya didn't find it strange.

After all, for Nie Ning to have such strength at such a young age, it was normal for him to be a bit weaker in other areas.

Hearing this, Nie Ning raised an eyebrow.

There's such a thing?

This was indeed something Nie Ning hadn't expected—that even wizards had started signing up for cram schools.

But then Nie Ning shook his head: "I don't like being with others."

He needed someone to teach him and Xiao Guang, so he naturally couldn't let more people know about this, to avoid a repeat of Xiao Guang being kidnapped.

"That..."

Saya hesitated, her face full of conflict.

"What's wrong? Is there a problem? The price I offer will definitely satisfy those people."

Nie Ning asked, somewhat puzzled.

With so many wizards in Blood Rainbow City, it was impossible that there wasn't even one who did private tutoring, right?

Moreover, with his financial resources, if he hadn't wanted to find someone more reliable, he would have already been posting small advertisements along the streets.

"Uh, My Lord, don't you play Transcendent World?"

Saya couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

"Transcendent World? What's that? Is it another world?"

Nie Ning shook his head; he really hadn't heard of it.

After all, he had just arrived in this world; how would he have time to learn about other miscellaneous things?

Upon hearing this, a look of astonishment appeared on Saya's face, and then she explained patiently.

"No, it's something recently developed by Liuguang City. Through a special mental connection device, one can go to an illusory alternative world."

Sometimes she really wondered if Nie Ning was a primitive man.

Even if he was always busy with cultivation, it shouldn't be to the point where he hadn't even heard of it, right?

"Oh~"

Nie Ning suddenly realized: "So it's that virtual game you're talking about."

When he first arrived in Blood Rainbow City, he had seen the advertisement for that game.

However, he was already playing the real-life version of a leveling-up game, so he naturally didn't care much for that virtual game.

After all, that was something for ordinary people to use to experience supernatural power.

Winning didn't matter, but if he lost to an ordinary person, that would be truly embarrassing.

"The one you saw is only for ordinary people to use. Occasionally, wizards go in for recreation."

Saya shook her head slightly and continued.

"There is also a specialized one for wizards that can connect to other wizards in the city. Nowadays, most wizard teaching is completed in the Transcendent World."

Nie Ning couldn't help but raise an eyebrow; it turns out it could be played like this.

It was also because he had preconceived notions, plus he had lived in Saint Ville for too long, that for a moment he simply didn't think in this direction.
