Dota: Becoming a God Starting with Dragon Knight

"One of a kind!"

"Bang! Ninety thousand!"

"It's a tie, haha, a double tie, three ties, 16 points, pay up, pay up."

"Wow, Brother Li, you're incredibly lucky!"

"Thank you for acknowledging my lack of experience. I only benefited from having played before. You guys are beginners now, but once you get more skilled and your technique improves, you'll definitely dominate!"

In a hotel room, Li Ming and three old elves were playing mahjong intensely in a circle.

These days, Li Ming participated in many of the Elven people's entertainment activities, but he wasn't used to them and felt they were too plain.

Out of sheer boredom, I set up a mahjong set and played against myself for my own amusement.

One day, while he was playing in the inn's tea room, he was discovered by a group of elderly elves passing by.

The old elves found it amusing and started playing with him.

Now, every day after he closes his stall, he plays mahjong with this group of elderly folks for a while.

"Li Ming, what are you doing?" A woman's voice suddenly rang out in the room.

When Li Ming turned around, he saw Lina, who had been missing for more than ten days, appear.

She glanced at everyone in the room, said nothing, and as she turned to leave, said, "Come with me for a moment."

"Gentlemen, I'm sorry, my boss needs to see me. I'll be right back."

"Go away, go away, hurry up and leave. You're making room for me to play in your prime spot." An old elf who had been watching the battle couldn't wait to sit down in Li Ming's chair.

Li Ming caught up with Lina, and the two went to his hotel room together. The room was filled with items that Li Ming had redeemed from the system.

Expensive potions from outside are carelessly piled up in the corner, and several pairs of [Speed ​​Boots] are placed across the doorway.

Seeing this, Li Ming awkwardly stepped forward and quickly tidied up the scattered props.

"Mage Lina, the room is a bit messy, please excuse the mess, but you must understand the unkempt appearance of a single adult male."

He pulled up a chair, wiped it clean, and said, "Please sit down, please sit down. You've had a hard time these past few days. Has the Elven race agreed to send reinforcements?"

Lina forced herself to sit down and sighed, "Not yet. The elves are facing some problems right now, and they won't send troops until that's resolved."

"What do we do then? Just stay in the Elf Forest like this?" Li Ming knew that asking for help must have encountered difficulties, but he didn't expect the problem to be this big.

He has also been inquiring about information outside the Elf Forest these past few days.

The undead have established themselves in the Kingdom of Beth, and that area has now been renamed "Bone Wasteland".

The human nations, having failed to conquer the territory after a long siege, seem to have given up on reclaiming it. After all, although the Kingdom of Beth was nominally a human nation, it contained various races and was a neutral country.

Since the undead showed no intention of expanding their territory, the various races lost their desire to attack, seemingly accepting the existence of these undead.

If the elves also abandon their military campaign, his return to the human kingdoms will be a long way off.

The most crucial issue is that he crossed a spatial rift from the secret realm and then fell from the sky to the border of the Elf Forest without any identification, so he could only follow Lina.

"I heard that you've been setting up a stall at the inn these days, earning more than ten Moon Spring Crystals a day, which is considered a very high income even among elves."

"Life's been pretty good, so staying a little longer shouldn't be a problem, right?"

Indeed, this kind of life seems pretty good now!

Looking back on his life these past few days, Li Ming suddenly felt that whether or not he returned to the human kingdoms didn't seem to matter much. After all, he wasn't a human in this world, and that place wasn't his hometown.

"Mage Lina, is it really impossible to go back anytime soon?"

Lina walked to the window, looked at the night view outside, and sighed: "There's nothing we can do. The problem of the elves can't be solved in a short time."

"You should also know the current situation of the undead. Even if the elves agree to send troops to attack from both inside and outside, they won't be able to drive those undead back to the Netherworld in a short time."

She looked toward the Duchy of Andres, recalling the scene of Arthur Craig sending her to ask for help.

Looking back now, her father sent her to the Elf Forest partly because he had lived in the royal court when she was young, but also because he wanted her to avoid trouble.

I don't know how my father is now. My mother said that his vital signs are fluctuating, but his life is not in danger. He is probably injured.

If it weren't for the need to break through the undead's border blockade to help her, her father probably wouldn't have been injured.

I hope my father is alright!

Father's path to advancement must not go wrong.

Thinking of this, Lina recalled the appraisal results regarding the experience orb.

"Here are the appraisal results for your Energy Coins and Experience Orbs. Take a look, and if there are no problems, I'll upload them."

She took out an appraisal report from her spatial bag. The appraiser's signature was none other than Lina Craig, and the date was less than an hour ago.

Clearly, she had only recently completed this report.

Li Ming took the report and scanned it line by line. Lina's identification was very meticulous, and the report was very complete, even specifying which methods were used for identification.

The analysis of energy coins and experience orbs is also very thorough, almost comparable to the system introduction.

-----------------

Energy Coins: Pure energy polymers, inert, whose energy can be extracted using a specialized guiding array.

Energy has no attribute preference and can be used for power supply, cultivation, and energy replenishment.

Extraction is difficult and not recommended for personal use.

-----------------

Experience Sphere: A pure combination of soul energy and life energy, which cannot be extracted.

Ingesting or using mental power to guide absorption can strengthen the physical body or mind.

It appears to have a potential to help achieve breakthroughs. (Further validation with multiple samples is needed.)

-----------------

This is completely different from the appraisal report that Cyril had previously brought.

"Mage Lina, how about you take a look at this?"

Li Ming took out the appraisal report that Cyril had brought from his pocket.

Lina took the report with a puzzled look, then scoffed, "These elders are a bunch of idiots!"

"The elven race's development has been slow, and these elders bear the majority of the responsibility!!!"

Cyril's report was very rudimentary, only recording the results of the identification.

-----------------

Energy Coins: Energy polymers, inert, difficult to extract, and have no practical value.

Review: Garbage

-----------------

Experience Sphere: An impurity mixture of soul energy and life energy that can be absorbed and integrated into the body, but there is a risk of contamination.

Assessment: Dangerous material

-----------------

Two reports, two completely contradictory assessments.

"Who gave you this report?"

"Brother Cyril."

"Cyril? Who's that?"

"Elon's bodyguard."

"Eron? Isn't he busy improving the magic-powered vehicle lately? How come he has time to help you with the appraisal?"

"A magic car?" Li Ming asked, looking puzzled.

Lina replied, "Oh, it's the water car from before. Elon renamed it, supposedly inspired by you?"

Li Ming recalled: "Oh~ I think I mentioned it before, saying that the name 'Water Car' was too straightforward. Cyril was asked by me to help urge the Mage Tower to make the appraisal."

"Are you very familiar with him?"

"It's alright. He bought some [purification potion] from me, and we got to know each other after a while. We chatted quite well, so I guess you could call us friends."

Lina looked at the report and thought for a moment before saying, "Give me your report, I'll take it back and look at it."

"no problem!"
