Fang Qi picked up the other items scattered on the ground and handed the Skill Books to Xiaoyue and Su Yao. “Each of you can take one.”
“I want the Holy Armor Spell!” Jiang Xiaoyue took one book happily. Even the name of this sounds grand!
Su Yao was shy. After taking the Group Healing Spell that Fang Qi handed to her, she said with a blush after a long pause, “Thank you.”
“Who wants the Enchanting Light?”
“Give it to Sister Xi Yu,” Ruan Ning said. Since she and Su Zhi had Fire Wall and Exploding Flame respectively, Xi Yue could take this rare spell.
After learning the Holy Armor Spell, Jiang Xiaoyue shot out a rune note, and the flames jumped out from the burning note and drew a huge ancient character in the air like a dancing snake!
Everyone knew that the ancient rune notes contained mystical power. When that ancient character appeared in the air, all of them seemed to be engulfed in a layer of faint orange flame, and they felt a special force attached to their bodies!
With this force, they felt like they were invincible to monsters’ attacks!
“So powerful!” they exclaimed as they sensed this special power
“Ugh?” Fang Qi looked at the lofty ancient character, nonplussed. “Isn’t it supposed to be a big simplified Chinese character of ‘Defense’?”
[TL Note: This is the character if you are interested – 防.]
Of course, Mr. Fang was just saying it; it couldn’t be a simplified Chinese character in this world.
Obviously, it was a rune character which represented a spiritual spell when it was drawn!
Soon, Su Yao tried her Group Healing Spell, and her spiritual essence transformed into a wave of clear spiritual light which spread around, slowly healing everyone’s wounds that they had gotten when killing monsters!
“This is also awesome!” The girls exclaimed again. After all, they had never seen a spiritual spell which could heal a large group of people!
“But… what is Enchanting Light?” After finishing reading the Spell Book, Xi Yue shot out an Enchanting Light toward a distant monster.
A wave of strange lightning energy landed on the monster, but it had no effects on it.
That monster ignored them and didn’t even look this way.
Xi Yue felt discouraged, wondering how her spell was useless while the others’ spells were all powerful.
She shot out another Enchanting Light.
The monster still showed no response.
While stomping her foot, she shot out a dozen Enchanting Light, but the result was the same.
She finally gave up while gritting her teeth. Seeing the other girls smirking, she threw her weapon named Crescent Moon (Yan Yue) onto the ground in a huff. “This is a garbage skill!”
“Does this spell have an explanation?” Jiang Xiaoyue asked curiously, “It can’t be this lame even if it is weak.”
“It says that it can summon powerful monsters as servants,” Xi Yue complained, “It sounds powerful, but I can’t even summon a weak monster!”
…
While Fang Qi was killing the corpse king, the Royal Exploration Team had been working hard in the deserted Biqi Mine Pit.
After three days of killing monsters, they were all above level 20 with the highest one reaching level 25.
Even the members of the Royal Gold Hunting Team were close to level 20.
“Captain Yu, do you have news from the people of the Morning Star Sea Realm?” Ji Wu asked a thin, middle-aged warrior in front of him.
“Your Majesty,” the middle-aged officer said, “Those people are busy killing monsters in the Skeleton Cave and Wilma Forest, and it’s heard that this game is the only game that they have!”
“A group of bumpkins!” Ji Wu snorted, “Did they find anything?”
“Not yet.”
Ji Wu fell into deep thoughts while frowning.
During the past few days, they had killed many zombies and gotten the Skill Books for the Lightning Spell, Fire Note, and Slaying Sword Technique. However, skills such as Fire Wall and Explosion Flame which were above level 20 were rare.
For now, he hadn’t seen anything that made his time spent in this world worthwhile.
Of course, for Royal Princess Ji Yu and the others, it was a good experience since their cultivation strengths were not high, and they had obtained noticeable growth of strength.
However, for Ji Wu, no matter how fast he increased his cultivation strength, he couldn’t advance one realm in one month or in one year. Besides, even if his cultivation strength grew, he still needed a breakthrough to reach a higher realm.
For example, Elder Fu’s cultivation strength was high enough, but due to his low understanding of nature, he only had one foot in the Emperor Warrior Realm.
“No.” Ji Wu shook his head. “This game isn’t good.”
Meanwhile, An Huwei had reached level 20 in the Orc Tomb with a large group of Jiuhua guards. Now, he was taking them to the Centipede Cave in the Death Valley at Mengchong Province.
The Death Valley was very big, and higher-level disciples of the big forces such as Cloud Ocean Faction, Liuyun Daoist Palace, and Blue Flame Faction were all here.
While ordering the Jiuhua Army to clear the monsters, An Huwei bought a box of spicy sticks and sat down with the heads of the other forces.
Lounging on the computer chair, An Huwei yelled, “Come and have a spicy stick! It’s tiresome to play this game!”
With that said, he picked up a spicy stick and stuffed it into his mouth.
“Spicy sticks?!” An elder of the Cloud Ocean Faction leaned over and picked up one. “Castellan An, have you gotten any ultimate items?”
“Forget it.” While eating spicy sticks, An Huwei watched the Jiuhua guards hacking at monsters wildly on the screen. “This game is good for training the soldiers, but I find it quite boring.”
“I have the same feeling!” An elder from the Liuyun Daoist Palace came over and picked up a spicy stick as well, taking a break from the fight. Although they couldn’t gain cultivation strength while taking breaks, they found that when they re-entered the virtual reality mode, the accumulated strength would enter their bodies as if it were being stored in their characters right now.
Lounging in his chair, An Huwei watched his men killing monsters in satisfaction. While biting into another spicy stick, he commented, “This game isn’t as dashing as the games such as the Legend of the Sword and Fairy. What’s the use of the Fireball Spell? The Fire Resistance Ring can only push away low-strength opponents. Do we need to push away low-realm warriors in the real world?”
“Right. I have my protective spiritual treasure with me and can ignore attacks from less powerful people!” This elder sounded quite experienced and he continued, “I haven’t learned any new spiritual spells in this game. Does the game want me to fight using only the Fireball Spell in this game?”
“Even the higher-leveled spiritual spells are useless to us!” An Huwei shook his head and said, “Do we need more spiritual spells? Why do we need them?”
They lounged on the computer chairs and chatted while eating spicy sticks.
