Lin Guang learning this naturally carries practical significance.

It's not really about becoming a Miracle Master.

In fact, Lin Guang is simply too lazy to get certified, because he knows he already has the skills of a Medical and Gourmet Miracle Master, but even if he got the certification, he wouldn't have time to take on orders, so he might as well wait until he's free.

Kaiwen wanted him to learn Array Formation to become more familiar with his [True Understanding of Needle Dao] ability, laying a solid foundation for his future as a Spirit Master.

Lin Guang still remembers clearly.

More than half a month ago, Kaiwen's delicate hand held his right hand, guiding him to feel the Spirit Pattern she drew in the air while explaining to him in a gentle voice.

"Even though this inheritance of yours is powerful, you seem to be just using it, not fully mastering it."

"It's not your fault; you haven't had much time, and it's very complicated, so mastering it is indeed difficult."

"However, even without the excessive risk of True Intent, you still can't treat it as just a tool."

"Maybe it's a bit imprecise to say this, but the Spirit Master system indeed possesses quite a few idealistic traits, and this is a fact."

"I don't want to talk too much about things that are too far-reaching, but you must remember, the process of analyzing your abilities is not only about integrating and comprehending what you've learned but also truly understanding yourself."

"To get past the True Man stage, this is extremely important."

That's why Lin Guang is specifically practicing the drawing of Spirit Patterns at home.

For most people, Kaiwen's teaching approach is pure neglect, giving various basic theories and then letting a student who hasn't even reached Three-Star perform practical operations directly, like demanding someone to calculate calculus after learning basic arithmetic.

But... Lin Guang's [True Understanding of Needle Dao] inherently has strong array capabilities, making such an operation possible.

And in this half a month, the effort put into drawing all kinds of Spirit Patterns he knows has had noticeable results.

The role of [True Understanding of Needle Dao] has become more handy, and the process of drawing various Spirit Patterns has made his understanding and application of these abilities even deeper, as if he has gained something from the other abilities provided by the system.

Although his combat power may not have increased much, all of this will have its significance in the future.

Thinking of this, Lin Guang suddenly felt a sense of achievement.

He turned around and looked at the wolf-eared maid standing behind him, revealing a smile, "Chelina, what do you want for dinner?"

The girl, with her clear and deep amber eyes, looked at him and, as usual, softly said, "Anything you like, I'm fine with it."

"Okay, go get the ingredients ready."

After saying this, he stood up, opened the door, and walked out, heading straight to the kitchen.

Chelina naturally followed.

But her ears suddenly twitched as she looked towards the door.

Within half a minute, the doorbell suddenly rang.

At this moment, the silver-haired girl sitting at the dining table, her fingers fiddling with red Ethereal Crystals and a pile of inexplicable bits and pieces as if trying to tinker with something strange, paused her actions and gently rolled her eyes.

Meanwhile, Lisa, at the small desk, had already expected it and stood up, her nine big tails swaying back and forth, excitedly running to open the door.

"Miaomiao sister!"

The girl standing outside wore an off-white dress with a misty blue knitted cardigan over it, her head adorned with two hairpins in the shape of Golden Birch Leaves, and her tender feet wrapped in black rounded-toe Mary Jane shoes and white socks, giving a girl-next-door feel.

Looking at the people in the house, she suddenly bent down slightly, her green hair slightly swaying with the movement, then placed her right hand near her right eye, making a sideways peace sign, and blinked, performing a girlish wink.

"Ciallo～"

...

Night.

Full and satisfied.

Chelina and Lisa were cleaning up the aftermath in the kitchen, while Vishdair ran into the bathroom to take a bath, and Lin Guang and Miaomiao were watching TV on the sofa.

This scene might be a bit strange, but it's been the norm on weekends recently.

Since the last birthday celebration, which seemingly involved a direct hit, Miaomiao has been visiting his home quite often.

It's actually a bit subtle.

After all, weekends are supposed to be private time for the "family of four," but Miaomiao, an "outsider" without a contract, has inserted herself into it.

However, perhaps due to Miaomiao's super strong charm and excellent communication skills, Lisa really likes this sister, and since she always behaves herself and never crosses any line, even Vishdair, who used to be quite vigilant, has accepted it with a bit of reluctance.

On the television, the news frame suddenly shifted.

[News from our reporter.]

[At exactly 7 PM last night, the idol Spirit Master Mu Shunying, who had disappeared from public view for nearly a month, suddenly appeared at the police press conference.]

[He admitted on the spot to conspiring with the illegal poaching organization 'Divine Heart Association' to acquire rare Spirit Beast resources, and was accused of multiple charges including using his special identity to steal confidential information.]

[A spokesperson for the Ministry of Justice confirmed that the individuals involved have been transferred to Beishan Detention Center via escort vehicles, and this case may involve more figures from the political and business circles.]

[...]

In the footage, Mu Shunying is wearing a drab detention center uniform, holding a board with the number [9527] on it. His previously flowing short hair has been shaved to a bald head, bags under his eyes and nasolabial folds are extremely prominent, as if he hadn't had a good night's sleep in weeks, and his body looks emaciated, with his arms and the back of his hands seemingly devoid of any flesh, just a thin layer of skin.

It has to be said, Mu Shunying still holds some influence in Zhen Sheng City, even the semi-official and serious program "Zhen Sheng Thirty Minutes" spent two or three minutes introducing this matter.

Perhaps noticing Lin Guang's focused gaze, Miaomiao jokingly said, "It wasn't you who made the move this time, right?"

Prepared for this, Lin Guang showed no abnormality. He sighed theatrically and replied in the same joking tone, "Sure, sure, you can just assume it was me."

This time, deliberately speaking the truth, Miaomiao didn't detect anything unusual and laughed, "Just kidding, this must have been the Spirit Alliance's doing."

Even though Miaomiao hit the nail on the head twice in a row, Lin Guang wasn't surprised.

After all, it's not the first time the Spirit Alliance has done something like this.

Just within the range Lin Guang knew, in recent years no fewer than five officials, businessmen, and influential figures in Zhen Sheng City suddenly publicly repented and then "turned themselves in."

It's unthinkable that those involved in such illegal activities would suddenly repent, there must be a force behind this, and the curiosity of the vast majority of netizens is not to be underestimated.

Although the Spirit Alliance never admits these matters are related to them, and officials never mention the Spirit Alliance, folks still unravel the threads and uncover the truth—of course, this probably also has the tacit consent of the Spirit Alliance, after all, their purpose is to make an example of others.

"The Spirit Alliance… truly a mysterious organization. I've heard that while they are aggressive outwardly, they offer pretty good welfare and benefits internally, and quite a number of Spirit Masters have secretly joined them."

This point, Lin Guang was quite knowledgeable about.

Lin Guang's "optional mission" was beautifully accomplished, and apart from the basic rewards, the Spirit Alliance generously gave Lin Guang additional rewards—[Four-Star Exchange Permits*3].

Using the exchange rate of four for one, this mission directly provided him with half of a Six-Star Exchange Permit.

In comparison, the 5 million Daxia Coins given to Li Kujie seemed utterly insignificant.

Though in the short term, Lin Guang no longer needed to worry about the evolution of his partners, the Spirit Alliance's exchange list was exceedingly abundant, and even according to Lei Wanting, occasionally rare items that could enhance Spiritual Power were available, so the good items that could be exchanged for with a Six-Star Permit were beyond words.

Such generous gestures made Lin Guang feel they might be intentionally trying to curry favor with him.

Who knows if that was really the case.

Of course, these matters couldn't be discussed with Miaomiao, so Lin Guang casually asked, "How did you know?"

"Of course, it's what I read online," Miaomiao waved her hand.

"Makes sense."

"But, it's really unexpected…"

Miaomiao said with a hint of emotion, "For someone as glamorous as Mu Shunying, there's so much darkness behind the scenes."

"Are you his fan?"

"Why would you think that?"

"You seem like the trend-chasing type, and just now you had a kind of reflective look."

Mu Shunying, as the top idol of Zhen Sheng City, had done a fantastic job on the surface, and he genuinely loved and pursued beauty with all his might. If Lin Guang had a change of gender, he might also feel fondly about Mu Shunying.

Miaomiao seemed a bit helpless, "It's a friend of mine. Last night, she talked to me on the phone for an hour, all the while sobbing, saying Mu Shunying couldn't possibly be that kind of person, he must have been framed and threatened, and also talking about how much she liked him and how much money she'd spent on him."

"…Uh."

Putting himself in her place, Lin Guang thought if Wang Dawei called him crying that his favorite actress's reputation had fallen, he would probably just comfort him with, "You're an idiot, remember not to get so invested next time," before hanging up.

Unlike Lin Guang, who focused solely on Combat Spirit Master and Researcher paths, Miaomiao was not only knowledgeable in the researcher field but also had many other hobbies. She was the one who wanted to try everything and was "proficient" in everything: games, fashion, travel, photography... any topic young people could talk about, she had dabbled in, and could even be said to have in-depth understanding of, able to continue any conversation.

Someone like Miaomiao, a "time management master," willing to listen to a friend's hour-long "nonsense," was indeed something Lin Guang hadn't expected.

—Sometimes, Lin Guang also wondered if Miaomiao had some kind of time-related or duplication-related Talent, otherwise, where did she get so much time and Energy.

This wasn't Lin Guang's mind jumping, but in "Future Ark" there exists a character named "Miaomiao," whose Species is a Water Elf, capable of transforming into identical-looking duplicates.

Thinking this, Lin Guang focused his gaze on Miaomiao.
