"...System, are you so cruel? Can you force others to come even if they don't want to come?" Li Zheng looked at the newly appeared selection box speechlessly. Looking at the weak magician wearing a lavender hat that appeared in the options, Li Zheng hesitated. If the system that likes to trick him the most forced the other party to come this time, would she throw a "Philosopher's Stone" at him as soon as she appeared? Should I consider leaning over before summoning? After all, there is no "no summon" option in this pitfall summoning system.
Patchouli Noreki, a magician from "Touhou Gensokyo", is a pure magician who has lived for more than a hundred years. She has spent most of her time reading books during the past hundred years, which is surprising. She has the ability to use magic, lives in the Scarlet Devil Mansion, and is a friend of the vampire sister "Remlia Scarlet". She is a severe magic otaku, born with anemia and asthma, weak in body but very powerful in magic.
"Confirmed." Li Zheng finally confirmed, and with Li Zheng's confirmation, the "Royal Magic Library" also gradually melted into the altar like the previous "Gem Knight Red Pomegranate", and more and more colorful lights began to gather on the altar. Gradually, a girl with purple hair, lavender hat, fluffy clothes, and several thick magic books appeared on the altar. At first, her eyes were closed, and as her body gradually solidified, Patchouli's eyes gradually opened.
"Hello, Sage of the Seven Stars, Sister Patchouli." Li Zheng looked at the girl who slowly opened her eyes, and went to meet her, intending to lead her down from the altar. However, Patchouli had just woken up at this time, and because of anemia, she was still a little confused about the surrounding situation. Seeing a strange man suddenly greet her (due to the dizziness caused by anemia, Patchouli did not hear Li Zheng's words clearly) and preparing to approach step by step, the magician Patchouli's reaction was indeed the basic reaction of women in this environment: counterattack!
"Bang!" A heavy magic book fell on the head of Li Zheng who was completely unprepared, and directly hit Li Zheng in a big daze...
"Hey, hey, hey! If I am not a spirit, I would have been killed again by now, right?! Why is this book so thick! By the way, why do I need to say 'again'! System, can you explain to the other party before you summon others?!" Li Zheng, of course, was fine, who made him a spirit? Although Patchouli was also a spirit at this time, the books she carried with her were obviously not, so her smash had no corresponding effect at all. However, Li Zheng's subsequent roar finally sobered up the magician who had been distracted by anemia.
"Uh... Sorry, I was distracted just now." Patchouli finally said the first sentence she came here. She looked at Li Zheng, who was hit by her due to misunderstanding, with a guilty conscience. She was the one who needed help, but she just hit the other party like this. Wouldn't there be any grudges?
But soon Patchouli knew that she thought too much. The other party didn't seem to be hurt at all. He just complained about something called "system".
After hearing Patchouli's apology, Li Zheng waved his hand and said, "It's okay. A book still can't hit me, but what I find strange is that according to your personality, you should use magic instead of throwing books at the first time."
"There are some reasons for this. Let's walk." Patchouli walked down from the altar by herself - the altar itself was not high - and said to Li Zheng, "This place makes people feel a little empty."
"Okay, follow me." After seeing Patchouli come down by herself, Li Zheng also nodded and led the way in front.
"Thank you for your trouble." Patchouli followed Li Zheng and left the "Spirit Summoning System" together.

"So, you came here for further study? Then you came to the right place." In the square of the Spirit Hall system, Li Zheng took Patchouli to the only open Human Spirit Hall. He had learned from Patchouli why she chose to come to this world. Simply put, the system asked Patchouli three questions, "Do you want to heal your body?", "Do you want to learn more knowledge leading to the truth?" and "Do you want to transform ordinary magicians into real magicians like you?"
Pachouli didn't care much about the first two questions. For the first question, she said she had long been accustomed to this weak body, so she didn't plan to do so; for the second question, Patchouli said she had been doing it all the time, so this question was meaningless; and when the system asked the third question, Patchouli paused obviously.
She does have a friend who is an ordinary magician, and this person is very important to her. However, the magician who has lived for more than a hundred years knows that the other person's life is only a few short decades. This period of time is just a short period of time in her long life, but for the other person, it is a complete life.
But there is no choice. The identity of a witch is innate. Ordinary magicians may have a longer life through training, but it is almost impossible to have a long life like a witch.
So Patchouli was finally moved. After saying hello to a group of friends in Gensokyo, she began this "out-of-town training" journey.
Li Zheng looked at Patchouli, who looked calm but couldn't hide her inner hesitation, and comforted her: "There is indeed a way to solve this problem, but I can only use this trick and don't know the principle. If you want to truly control it, you should need to learn more."
"Yes, I understand this principle." Patchouli held her magic book and followed Li Zheng thoughtfully, "Then can you tell me how to do it?"
"This is simple. You should have known about this place before you came here, right? Those cards with magical powers."
"Well, very interesting." Patchouli Qiu Li took out a deck from a book of hers, "On the way here, the knowledge I accumulated in the Scarlet Devil Mansion was also converted into my own deck, but I don't think there is a way to achieve this goal here."
"Your deck..." Li Zheng looked at the first card on the top of Patchouli's deck and roughly knew the composition of Patchouli's deck, "Although it is a very strong deck, there is no way to achieve 'race transformation'. Let me give you this card, and you can study it carefully."
Li Zheng handed a "DNA transformation surgery" to Patchouli.
"There is a law in this world: card, which represents the rules in this world, but the power of this card is somewhat absolute. You can achieve your goal by analyzing other related cards." Li Zheng patiently explained to Patchouli. At this time, the two of them had already walked to the bottom of the Human Spirit Hall. Tokiomi was not at the door of the Human Spirit Hall. He must have entered the Human Spirit Hall to rest.
"Of course, the fastest way to understand is through a direct duel." Li Zheng said to Patchouli who had been looking at the "DNA transformation surgery".
"Duel?" Patchouli looked at the other magic book in her hand and nodded. She put her other books on the ground and left only one book. The book turned into a colorful crystal duel disk under the flash of seven colors of light. At the same time, Patchouli directly put the "DNA Transformation Surgery" card into her deck, "Then how about we have a duel? Maybe we can understand this card faster."
"..." Li Zheng was speechless, "That... your deck is not suitable for adding this card, because it is not necessary. Forget it, as you wish."
A projection appeared on Li Zheng's system terminal, and the duel disk composed of glow appeared in Li Zheng's hand again.
"Duel.", by Li Zheng & Patchouli.
