Chapter 75: Lvqi

Although Lvqi verbally expressed dissatisfaction with the name, the enhancement granted by the Blessing was genuinely substantial. Not only did he gain an Spirit Magic Skill, but his Overall Attributes also received a significant boost. Moreover, the name “Spirit Magic” sounded incredibly powerful—truly befitting someone chosen by fate, with a future full of promise.

At this moment, Lvqi noticed the name “Sylph” listed under the Blessed One section on the panel. Such a name clearly belonged to a girl. Could it be that the Lord Divine Tree was actually female? Lvqi believed that as long as it was a girl, he had a chance to win her over. As a Transmigrator to this Otherworld, he firmly held onto one principle:

No matter what status a girl held, he always had the possibility to pursue her. This was the courage his identity as a Transmigrator granted him. As long as he was bold enough, even a Deity could take Maternity Leave for him. This was the longing for the opposite sex he had harbored throughout his Lifelong Single years. Although he never found True Love before his Transmigration, in this life, he was determined to seek it out.

Seeing Lvqi grinning foolishly again for no apparent reason, Xiong Er tossed a hoe to him with a look of disdain, urging him to go help out. Catching the hoe, Lvqi whistled cheerfully and headed to the fields to work diligently.

Zhai Guangyi felt that while Lvqi’s future might be somewhat concerning, seeing his Skills piqued his interest.

Time Luck and Treasure Hunt—these types of Skills were relatively rare. He wondered what kind of Treasure Lvqi’s Treasure Hunt could uncover and what exactly Time Luck entailed. With these thoughts in mind, Zhai Guangyi decided to observe him a while longer.

However, after an entire afternoon, Zhai Guangyi discovered that Lvqi was the man who dug up the most stones while hoeing and was frequently splattered with bird droppings on his face.

With such terrible luck, this Time Luck Skill really seemed unreliable.

As for the stones he dug up, they weren’t any special ore—just ordinary rocks. Zhai Guangyi had initially thought it might be a useful Skill, but it turned out to be nothing special. He had even considered having the System secretly learn it, but now it seemed unnecessary.

Unlike Magical Beasts, Wyvern-kin still had housing needs; surviving in the wilderness would likely be difficult. So, while cultivating the fields, they also began constructing houses. The Magical Beasts were responsible for transporting lumber, which the Wyvern-kin then used for building. Indeed, having people was essential—a force composed solely of Magical Beasts was too rudimentary. Everything proceeded smoothly and in an orderly fashion.

Zhai Guangyi’s True Body also spared no effort in providing them with the tools they needed. Whenever there was a request, Zhai Guangyi would do his utmost to fulfill it.

At the same time, he would occasionally select outstanding Magical Beasts or Wyvern-kin to grant Blessings, ensuring their motivation, enhancing the overall strength of his forces, and improving infrastructure development.

With all this, the time had nearly come for the meeting with Hong Ren and the others. When Hong Ren spoke through the Magic Mirror, he used the word “we” as the subject—surely other Demon King cadres were present as well.

Zhai Guangyi, Xiong Da, and Xiong Batian mounted three Storm Holy Wolves and set off toward the edge of the forest. Zhai Guangyi bestowed the Blessing of the Wind Spirit upon them, further increasing their movement speed. If not for Xiong Da’s familiarity with the location and route to Banwang City, the journey to the forest’s edge would have taken at least several days.

This time, they did not bring many Magical Beasts, as Zhai Guangyi’s Teleportation Magic could only transport three people at once. If they encountered an enemy they could not resist, he would simply use Teleportation Magic to bring the three of them back directly. As for the Storm Holy Wolves beneath their feet, they would return immediately after delivering them to the forest’s edge. They were more suited for group combat and required environmental cover, so the remaining journey would be made on foot.

As for Luke and the other two, Zhai Guangyi had already sent them out of the forest with Storm Demon Wolves three days earlier, allowing them to return ahead of time. He also requested their help in rescuing the Forest Elves, asking them to prepare in advance.

Both Xiong Da and Xiong Batian possessed robust physical bodies. Though their movement speed was not particularly fast, their endurance was exceptional—they could run continuously for hours without panting. As for Zhai Guangyi himself, with his Flying Staff, he naturally had no concerns about mobility; it was merely a matter of moving faster or slower.

After an entire day’s effort, Zhai Guangyi and his two companions finally reached the edge of the forest. Hong Ren and a green-skinned old man were already waiting outside the forest. Beyond the forest stretched an endless grassland, a surprisingly beautiful sight.

Zhai Guangyi, of course, did not let his guard down. Upon meeting them, he immediately used Appraisal on the green-skinned old man.

Once again, the Appraisal Magic failed. Zhai Guangyi hadn’t expected that even Level 4 Appraisal would be ineffective. If that were the case, the target’s Level must exceed 70, indicating formidable strength. But Zhai Guangyi was determined to see it through. He directly used 500 Skill Points to upgrade Appraisal to Level 5.

Appraisal, a Skill that normal people would never bother learning, was forcefully elevated to Level 5 by Zhai Guangyi. The Appraisal Magic, which only allowed one to view another’s attribute panel, was indeed somewhat impractical, which explained why people in this World disliked learning it.

After all, what could you do even after seeing someone else’s panel? If you couldn’t defeat them, you still couldn’t defeat them.

Moreover, experienced experts could gauge a person’s attribute strength through their words and actions, making Appraisal Magic seem rather obsolete.

But Zhai Guangyi had always believed that Appraisal Magic was a divine Skill, and Xiong Er shared the same view. However, Natives of this World would never let their descendants learn Appraisal, all claiming the Magic was useless.

After upgrading to Appraisal Level 5, the green-skinned old man’s attribute panel appeared before Zhai Guangyi’s eyes.

Race: Priest Goblin (Lvqi)

Level: 74

Life Value: 500

Magic Power: 100,000

Strength: 80

Defense: 60

Speed: 20

Blessed One: Mephistopheles

A Priest Goblin? Zhai Guangyi felt that the Goblin race might be a bit too overpowered—even having a Priest was truly terrifying.

The terrifying Magic Power value had reached a staggering 100,000 points, somewhat beyond Zhai Guangyi’s imagination. After all, his own True Body only had 80,000 Magic Power.

However, his True Body was only Level 43, so he still had plenty of room for improvement.

On the other hand, Lvqi’s other attributes were quite weak. Even a weakling like Ladong could probably defeat him in hand-to-hand combat. But such a powerful Mage would not easily allow physically strong Magical Beasts to get close.

As soon as Zhai Guangyi and the others approached, a grayish-brown cloak appeared in Lvqi’s hand.

Though the cloak appeared rather ordinary at first glance, under Zhai Guangyi’s level 5 Appraisal Magic, its attributes were laid bare for all to see.

It was a Purple Quality Defensive Magic Equipment capable of absorbing damage equivalent to the user’s maximum Magic Power. Additionally, it possessed a certain rebound effect, converting the absorbed damage into tangible harm against enemies. For someone like Lvqi, whose Magic Power was off the charts, this Magic Artifact seemed tailor-made for him.

To be honest, Zhai Guangyi felt a twinge of envy. He recalled that upon joining, he too should receive a Purple Quality Equipment exclusively customized by the Demon King City’s master craftsmen. This thought only heightened his anticipation for their arrival at the Demon King City.
