Time passed quickly, and a month had gone by in my world.
"Ah, finally! The house is done. I can live above ground now."
Looking at the newly built villa, Yang Tao nodded in satisfaction.
The area around the villa had been transformed—an enormous farm full of crops, an animal pen packed with livestock.
He had also discovered several villages, relocating all the villagers. The useful ones stayed for trading, while the greedy ones were put to work as iron farm laborers.
Now fully geared in top-tier enchanted diamond armor, Yang Tao was practically unstoppable in his world.
Aside from the Wither and the Ender Dragon, everything else had already fallen to his blade.
These days, he enjoyed a peaceful life—farming, fishing, and occasionally chatting in the group to pass the time.
During this period, he learned that time flowed differently in each member's world. For him, time only moved at the same speed when he wasn't using the chat group. But for others, time could pass faster or slower. For example, two years had gone by in Zhang Wenjing's world, while only seven days had passed for Li Yunlong.
What made people jealous was that in just seven days, Li Yunlong had checked in 30 times.
Only when a group member opened the chat group did their time sync with everyone else.
Just then, Zhang Wenjing suddenly shouted in excitement: "Ahhhhh! My magic awakened!"
Yang Tao was curious. "Wenjing, what happened? How did it awaken?"
Tony, who was still working on his suit in a cave, also joined the conversation. "Magic? Magic is real? I have to test it once I get out of here."
"Mark 1 is almost finished. Soon, I'll blast my way out!"
Zhang Wenjing: "This morning, I wanted some water, and my cup just flew over to me by itself. I could also feel magic inside me."
Li Yunlong: "Congrats, congrats!"
Over the past few days, Li Yunlong had learned a lot—at least enough to understand special things like this. He wasn't as clueless as before when he didn't even know what a TV show was.
Naruto hadn't said anything yet—maybe he was busy.
Yang Tao: "Congrats! Now we can be sure you're really in the Harry Potter world. You should upload your memory file—you'll get some points for it."
[Group member Zhang Wenjing uploaded *The Complete Harry Potter Series* and earned 100 points.]
Yang Tao: "Tony, the group has a live-streaming feature. Start a stream when you make your escape. By the way, how are you planning to save Yinsen?"
Inside the desert cave, Tony was finishing up his suit. Under the enemy's surveillance, another Tony was also there—this one was a shadow clone he had bought from the group shop using his sign-in points. It was a one-time-use scroll, cheap but effective. As long as the clone wasn't hurt, it could last for three days.
On the Ten Rings' surveillance cameras, it looked like Tony had been busy modifying a missile. This was much safer than in the movie. His armor was nearly complete, and the enemy still hadn't noticed anything unusual.
This way, Yinsen wouldn't have to run out to buy time, greatly lowering his chance of dying.
Tony: "The suit is ready. I'll take them down first, then go save Yinsen. If only I had more materials, I could've made him a suit too—then he'd be completely safe."
But there was no other option. Even though things were more secure, there weren't enough materials for a second suit.
Yang Tao didn't want Yinsen to die, so he asked, "Do you need help? I can provide some items or lend you a set of gear—it might be useful!"
