29: Can Others Do It?

Another golden entry…

At this moment, the female players engaged in this simulation were feeling quite envious.

"I haven't seen a single golden entry yet, and Eirik already has three…" Selene couldn’t help but feel frustrated.

Pixie had already become a Savant with Eirik's help, while she, a dignified mentor, started as a Practitioner Level 4.

And now, after all these years, she was still stuck at Practitioner Level 6. It was only thanks to her experiences from her previous lives that she had learned magic so quickly.

"Is it really impossible to play this simulation without clinging to him?" Liora muttered, feeling a bit down. She certainly didn’t want to end up in a marriage with Eirik like Pixie and Elvynna had.

Liora had a reserved and introverted personality, filled with many little secrets. She was used to being alone and didn’t want anyone to discover her stark contrast between her inner and outer selves.

"Sisters, I have a question. Must we become his wives to recruit Eirik?" Liora couldn't help but ask in the world channel.

She wanted to recruit Eirik too but didn't want to be overly close to him.

"Is marrying him a requirement for recruitment?" Elvynna paused for a moment, then shook her head and chuckled.

Of course, there was no such condition; it was just that Eirik's Elemental Absorption talent worked best when their bond deepened. At the time, she had unintentionally deepened her relationship with him in a quest to strengthen their connection.

As for Pixie, she genuinely wanted to secure Eirik with the bonds of marriage. From the very beginning, she had aimed to be Eirik's wife.

This aspect set her apart from Elvynna.

A noble lady from a prestigious family like Pixie might seem whimsical, but she understood all too well that her future marriage would ultimately be for her family’s benefit.

However, Eirik was precisely her type, and he was a super golden entry that could turn her Ravenshadow family’s fortunes around.

Now, of course, Pixie had completely immersed herself in the game and had long since forgotten her initial intentions, thinking only of her husband and son…

At this moment, Elvynna didn’t hide anything and casually explained to Liora.

"I see…"

It seemed I have a chance?!

If you spot this narrative on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.

Liora quietly resolved that in the next round, she would strive to secure Eirik’s golden entry for herself.

As long as she managed their relationship well, staying within the realm of friendship without crossing into romance, she would be fine, right?

After all, it was a simulated scenario, so why not give it a shot!

"This round of simulation isn’t over yet, but the potential competitors are multiplying!"Selene furrowed her brows, deep in thought.

She felt that Eirik was practically the hottest commodity, much like the most sought-after instructor in the academy looking for a disciple.

They, as "students," would certainly be fighting tooth and nail for him.

As a mentor at the academy, Selene understood the fierce competition all too well.

Though she considered herself beautiful and talented, facing so many outstanding women, she couldn't be sure she would stand out in the next round.

"Is there really no other golden entry available?"Selene chuckled bitterly; it seemed there really wasn't!

Even if others had golden talents, like that magical tree, could it be recruited? Could it be allied with?

That thing could easily wipe you out in seconds!

And even if a human golden genius appeared, what of it?

No matter how impressive that human genius's golden talent was, it was still their own.

Eirik's golden talent, however, was Elemental Absorption—a world rule aura.

As long as she stayed close to him, her own strength could skyrocket, even allowing her to break through the limitations of her talent, like Pixie, advancing to the Savant level!

Could any other genius achieve that?

That’s why Eirik’s golden entry was the most powerful!

His talent wasn't just a golden card for others; it should be classified under a new and separate tier!

In Eirik’s previous life, this would be called a "Top Tier Characters."

Having him versus not having him was like two entirely different games!

At that moment, Eirik, seeing Pixie become a Savant, let out a deep sigh of relief.

Others might not know, but he could see Pip's limited potential; her lifespan was only a few hundred years.

In this game, she often secluded herself in the mountains to study magic, and decades could easily pass by.

It would be unfortunate if the powerful character he had painstakingly developed suddenly met an untimely end, especially if it was a natural one.

But now, seeing Pip upgrade to the Savant level meant she could live for thousands of years.

Eirik's heart finally eased.

As dawn broke, he hurriedly logged out of the game, quickly freshened up, and headed towards the courtyard.

“Cough cough, I vaguely remember Pip saying she would study magic with me this morning…”

Eirik murmured, feeling a bit awkward for being late on his first day.

However, he soon felt completely at ease; in the courtyard, aside from a few maids tending to the flowers, there was no sign of Pixie.

In fact, not only Pixie, but even Elvynna, who was supposed to join him for magic study, was nowhere to be seen.

"Geez, they sleep even more than I do…"

Eirik shook his head and chuckled when he saw two girls walking hand in hand, chatting and laughing.

The only two close enough to share such a bond were Elvynna and Pixie.

As the game entered a calm phase, the two quickly logged out and left their characters behind to step outside.

“Hu… Eir, did you sleep well last night?”

Pixie beamed sweetly at Eirik.

“Yeah, not bad.”

I didn’t sleep at all last night…

However, after studying magic for a while and absorbing elemental energy, Eirik now felt refreshed and completely unaware of any fatigue.

They exchanged pleasantries and then began today’s magic study.

“Eir, this is the Ravenshadow family's unique magic tome, Elemental Convergence. It’s the best for newcomers to sense elemental energy… If you have any questions, feel free to ask me!”

As she spoke, Pixie nestled up next to Eirik.

A faint yet alluring fragrance wafted over to him.

Though in the game, Eirik and Pixie had grown their child into adulthood and caused mischief daily, in reality, they were still both untouched.

Being so close made them both feel a bit awkward, especially Pixie, whose cheeks flushed slightly as her small hand fiddled nervously with her hair, falling into an unusual silence for a moment.

However, she didn’t move away from Eirik’s side.

Mainly, she wanted to see if Eirik possessed the Elemental Absorption talent in reality!

While Eye of Divine Insight was impressive, Elemental Absorption held even greater significance for her!

“I think Ravenshadow’s magic is rather standard and conservative; it doesn’t suit your identity as an Eye of Divine Insight wielder. You might as well learn my family's Elemental Sigh technique.”

Elvynna remarked lightly, yet she subtly sat down close to Eirik on the other side.

Needless to say, she too sat very near him. As the breeze blew, her cascading hair fluttered, brushing against Eirik’s face and teasing his senses.
