The girl came in front of Heath, took out a pink invitation card, and handed it to Heath. She said shyly, “I’m Annie from Forgotten Land 176. It’s my birthday next week. I’d like to invite Senior Heath to my birthday dinner.”

It was the time for dinner in the evening. There were many Apprentices in the corridor, and the commotion immediately attracted a lot of attention. The crowd immediately started whispering.

“Who is that boy? He looks quite handsome.”

“You don’t even know him? The magic genius from Forgotten Land 168, black-haired Heath, just advanced to low-level Apprentice not long ago. It is said that he just entered the tower at the beginning of this year.”

“Isn’t that only eight or nine months? Tsk tsk, so amazing!”

“You only look at the glory of others and don’t look at the hard work of others. In terms of talent, he is only low-level. It is all based on hard work, okay? He is a frequent visitor in the hunting zone. No matter what happens, he is always earning Magic Stones and accumulating resources to train. He deserves such results.”

“Tsk tsk, what a lunatic!”

Not long ago, Heath publicly announced that he had ‘advanced’ to a low-level apprentice. It had only been nine months since he joined Shadow Tower.

Nine months from an ordinary person who had never meditated to a low-level apprentice. This was not something that could be said to be unique. However, it was still an outstanding performance among the Apprentices. Among the Apprentices in the same period, he was truly the number one person!

Because of this, once the news was announced, it immediately caused quite a stir among the Apprentices. Heath was also labeled as a ‘genius’, a ‘magic madman’, and gradually became somewhat famous.

Listening to the discussions in his ears, Heath frowned and hurriedly accepted the girl’s invitation. “Okay, if I have time, I will come over. Happy Birthday.”

Heath did not wait for anyone else’s reaction and quickly left the corridor.

Heath was a cautious person. He only wanted to develop in a low-key manner. Because of this, he felt uncomfortable and insecure when people were looking at him.

Since he wanted to keep a low profile, why did he announce that he had advanced to the limelight? Wasn’t this a contradiction?

Heath didn’t want to announce it either, but he had no choice.

In order not to affect his training progress, he was doing hunting missions every day to earn a large amount of resources. This was something that everyone in the Shadow Tower knew.

According to the calculation of these resources, he should be a low-level Apprentice now. If he wasn’t, then there would be a problem.

If something illogical fell into the eyes of a Wizard with a strong thirst for knowledge, the consequences were self-evident.

On the other hand, although he seemed to be in the limelight now, Heath knew that he was far from being a true genius. He was far from attracting the attention of the Wizards. Not to mention, there were many Apprentices in Shadow Tower who advanced faster than him.

As long as the Wizards were not curious about him, he would be safe. Anyone who weighed the pros and cons would know how to choose a more sane person.

Thus, Heath could only ‘advance’ and expose a part of his strength.

After all, Heath was deliberately suppressing himself. Otherwise, based on his current training progress… The Wizards would probably be red-eyed…

“Spirit: 6.2. Rating: Medium.”

Yes, after half a year of hard work, Heath had long broken through the shackles of a low-level Apprentice and raised his spiritual force to above 6. He meditated seven characters and reached the level of an intermediate-level Apprentice.

Eight months to an intermediate-level Apprentice. There were other Wizard organizations that had one, but the Shadow Tower had never had one appear…

Holding the invitation, Heath walked forward.

His appearance was very good. After he became famous, it would be difficult for him to not be popular with women. During this period of time, female Apprentices came to him one after another to express their admiration.

Walking to a quiet place, Heath looked left and right. After making sure that no one was there, he threw the invitation out. Then, with a flick of his finger, with a light sound, the invitation suddenly burned up, and when it landed on the ground, it had already been burned into a pile of ashes.

Hu! Hu!

A gentle breeze entered through the window at this moment, and the ashes on the ground disappeared without a trace.

In fact, as he grew older, Heath’s body had basically matured and he no longer had any worries. Logically speaking, there was no need to continue suppressing himself. On the contrary, it would be beneficial to his physical and mental health if he vented his physiological desires appropriately.

However, in the face of these girls who came knocking on his door, he still rejected all of them without exception.

There was nothing he could do. These bedmates were simply too unreliable.

Each of them seemed to be well-mannered on the surface, but behind their backs, they were more shameless than the others. Take the girl who had just expressed her love to Heath for example. She looked innocent, but in fact, during dinner last night, Ender had talked to him about the sound of her crying out.

The personal lives of Wizards were very messy. Both men and women basically maintained relationships with several members of the opposite sex. Multiplayer sports were even more common. It was really too dirty.

Although Heath did not mind taking the bus, it was a bit too much for the bus to be full of sh*t…

“Take your time. These are all small matters. Strength is the most important thing. When your strength increases, you won’t have to worry about not having a woman.” Shaking his head, Heath shook off his messy thoughts.

He continued to walk in the direction of the cafeteria.

…

Shadow Tower, cafeteria.

“One mashed potato, one roasted lizard, and one cup of Fire Dragon Juice. I’ll leave the Magic Stones here. Thank you.”

After throwing down the two Magic Stones, Heath walked towards the dining area with his tray.

The dining hall was very crowded. Heath was looking for an empty seat.

A few female Apprentices sitting nearby immediately shifted their bodies to make way for the empty seat. They secretly looked at Heath with anticipation.

“Heath, over here!” At this moment, a shout was heard.

Ender stood up and waved at him. At the same time, he pointed at the empty seat on the bench beside him. There were also a few Apprentices sitting around him. They were all from the same batch.

Under the disappointed gazes of the female Apprentices, Heath walked over with a tray and sat down.

As soon as heath sat down, a girl said playfully, “Ya! Ya! Ya, it’s really rare to see you. What day is it today? Our great genius actually came to the cafeteria to eat?”

Heath rarely came to the cafeteria to eat. He usually bought ingredients to cook at home because the food in the cafeteria was not delicious and was expensive.

Heath teased, “Of course it’s to see Miss Jessica.”

This was Jessica, the girl who had sex with four or five male Apprentices in order to save a Magic Stone earlier.

Jessica smiled charmingly and said coquettishly, “Is that so? Then where does Apprentice Heath want to see? Why don’t we find a place for you to see enough later? I also want to see Apprentice Heath’s grandeur.”

Jessica was famous for being loose among the Apprentices. The other female Apprentices could at least put on a show, but she was not pretentious at all. She was the kind of girl who could invite boys she met for the first time to have sex in public.

Heath said, “Forget it. With Ender and the others, it’s enough to satisfy you.”

Jessica snorted lightly. “Hmph, don’t mention these thin enoki mushrooms. None of them are of any use.”

The few boys blushed and lowered their heads.

Ender quickly coughed and changed the topic. “Cough! Let’s not talk about this anymore. Let’s talk about business.”

After a pause, he suddenly said to Heath, “Do you know, Heath? The compulsory mission for our batch of Apprentices has come down.”

Hearing Ender’s words, Heath’s eyes could not help but light up. “Oh?”

He hurriedly asked, “When did this happen? Do you know what the mission is?”
