Survival Game: Call Me an Honest Businessman

[Mind reading, voice changing, earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a type of magical ability), evolution! (Gill form), I have a pair of invisible wings]

Even though I already knew that the magician must have added some new skills recently.

But Li Zhi was still surprised when he saw that the skills were so numerous that they couldn't all be displayed on the screen and that he had to scroll down to see them all.

Celia: "Professional magicians are few in number, and they usually hide their profession very well before they grow up. I didn't expect you to find one and even forcibly contract her when she was weak. You're lucky."

Li Zhi: "If it weren't for good luck, how would I have met you, teacher? And become your student~"

Celia said seriously, "Don't think that forcibly forming a contract will solve everything once and for all. Even if the person you contracted is not a magician, there is still a possibility of breaking free from the contract. Moreover, given the special nature of the magician's profession, she has an even greater chance and ability to break free and even turn against you. You'd better stay vigilant and make sure that your level is always higher than hers."

Li Zhi knew that Celia was doing it for her own good.

She nodded seriously: "I know, teacher."

Celia: "What skills do you want to imprint? A person can imprint a maximum of five skills at a time, and each skill can be imprinted no more than three times. Each additional imprint will decrease the quality."

Li Zhi: "Can I view the skills?"

Celia: "Okay."

She casually clicked on "Mind Reading".

Mind Reading:

Grade: D

Category: Props

Attribute: Spirit

Cost: 3 points of mental energy

Description: Reads the thoughts of a specified person. The level of the person being read must be no higher than the user's race/class level. Reading time: 30 seconds.

Celia: "She should already be at Pro Level 4, and she's very skilled in using her abilities, so she deserves the rating."

Li Zhi's understanding of magicians was refreshed, and his vigilance towards her was raised once again before he said to Celia, "Teacher, I want to make three copies of the mind-reading technique."

Celia: "The last two might not even reach D grade."

Li Zhi: "It's okay."

Stealing the tribute that the Beast Alliance was giving to the Feathered Spirit Clan is not something that can be done just by talking.

She needs to at least find out how the tribute is transported, the route, and the fighting strength of the Feathered Spirit Clan.

Otherwise, it's all just wishful thinking.

But this information is not something that can be obtained easily.

She couldn't just go directly to the orcs in the North District and tell them she knew about their plan, wanted to get involved, and wanted the Beast Alliance to tell her the details of paying tribute to the Feathered Spirits.

Orcs aren't stupid either.

Even if she adjusted her cloak and appeared as a level 6 merchant, the orcs would still not believe her.

There's even a chance of alerting the enemy, or being captured by the orcs as a traitor.

In any cooperation or negotiation, you must have something that the other party needs.

Only by identifying the differences and bottom lines between the two parties and presenting common interests can one persuade and move the other party.

Li Zhi planned to transform himself into Xu and Ao's appearance, go to the Feather Spirit Avenue to investigate the Feather Spirit Clan and the Beast Alliance Leader, and also find Yin Su and Ya Xi to get some information out of them.

They are the children of the Wolf King and the leader of the Beast Alliance.

It's impossible for someone to be completely unaware of what's going on at home.

Silverspeed was involved at least.

Finally, you can find the elders of the North District, or directly bring in the fox clan leader and the beast alliance leader.

In any of these matters, "mind reading" is a very important auxiliary tool.

If it weren't for the fact that a skill could only be imprinted three times at most, she really wanted to imprint at least ten Mind Reading cards, as this would make it easier to improve the efficiency of information gathering and negotiation.

Thinking of this, Li Zhi recalled the one-time talent "Eye of Truth" that he had once obtained through D, which was also a very useful skill.

Unfortunately, the situation was urgent at the time, and I didn't have a copy card on hand, so I couldn't make another copy.

Otherwise, she would definitely keep a "True Eye" in case of emergency.

Celia didn't ask Li Zhi why he wanted three Mind Reading cards; she simply chose to imprint the Mind Reading skill.

sizzle-

Amidst the hum of the machine, intricate magical patterns were slowly imprinted onto the three magic stones.

"alright."

All three are blue magic stones.

The depths are not consistent.

Li Zhi picked up the darkest one and checked the information.

Sure enough, it was the only D-grade skill magic stone.

The other two magicians have no ratings and their descriptions are different.

[Mind Reading (One-Time Talent): Consumes 10 points of Spirit Power; Reads the thoughts of a designated person whose level is not higher than the user's race/class level; Reading time is 10 seconds]

The mental energy consumption increased, but the reading time decreased.

This is the difference between having a rating and not having one.

Li Zhi carefully put away the skill stone and pointed to another talent: "Teacher, I'd like to see the information about this talent."

Shuffle

Grade: D

Category: Props

Attribute: Spirit

Cost: 50 points of mental energy

Description: Shuffle any item, equipment, or weapon to refresh its level. The level may decrease or increase, but neither decrease nor increase will exceed two levels (the higher the original item, equipment, or weapon level, the lower the probability of an increase).

Li Zhi's eyes lit up.

Even Celia showed interest.

Li Zhi: "Teacher, let's make three of these too!"

The machine started running again.

Three golden magic stones appeared.

Li Zhi handed two of them directly to Celia: "Teacher, these two are for you. I don't have any items or equipment that need to be leveled up for the time being, so you can keep them to do some experiments."

This is the truth.

The equipment and weapons she currently possesses are all things she has practiced extensively and have successfully integrated with her, and their levels are not low, making them the most suitable for her at the moment.

If the mage uses this skill to forcibly refresh, it might actually drop her A-grade and B-grade equipment to B-grade and C-grade, and then she would have no recourse.

Sending her to Celia for experiments would maximize benefits for her, Celia, and the relationship between them.

Moreover, skill imprinting is not a one-time thing. As long as she can get permission to use this imprinting machine, she will have plenty of opportunities to imprint magician skills again in the future.

Seeing that Li Zhi handed over the two magic stones without hesitation, Celia's nasolabial folds became smooth and relaxed.

She accepted the two magic stones without hesitation, her hoarse voice softening considerably. "Choose three more."

Li Zhi checked the skill information one by one and finally chose: Imprisonment, Voice Changer, and Earth Escape.

These are all skills that she can use most right now.

Having acquired thirteen skill stones, Li Zhicai noticed that the magician who had been lying inside the machine hadn't made a sound. She asked with some concern, "Teacher, won't the skill imprinting hurt someone?"

Celia: "Extracting her mental energy and memories for imprinting will definitely cause damage, but as long as it is kept within the critical value of 15 times, it will only result in the loss of mental energy and will not harm the body. If it is done too many times, it will damage the foundation, but the quality of the imprinted skill stones will also be very low, so it is not necessary."

"Will it affect my future imprinting skills?"

"no."

"That's good, that's good."
