Master Changsheng

Chapter 11: Emerging from Seclusion!

This is not because Ankai was unprepared.

Rather, as his four attributes improved, his appetite also steadily increased...

Each attribute upgrade is a test for the food.

Food that could have lasted two years is now almost gone in less than a year…

This time, he planned to go to Chaos City, firstly to exchange the gold coins in his storage ring for food.

Secondly, we need to find opportunities and ways to obtain a batch of low-grade magic stone resources.

Additionally, if possible, An Kai also wanted to try to open the book in the storage ring that he couldn't open no matter what he tried!

Of course, there was one more thing Ankai had to do before leaving.

That is to transform all resources into strength.

【Freeze Spell Lv1『7/10』】

With a thought, a block of ice the size of a fist appeared in his hand.

An Kai bounced it around, worried that if he did it unexpectedly, it might hit someone on the head...

I should be able to smash a big bag...

Blanch!

He knew it; support spells were unreliable!

An Kai abruptly flung his hand, smashing the ice block in his hand against the wall in a fit of rage…

boom!

With a loud crash, a crater about thirty centimeters in diameter appeared in the wall, filled with ice shards…

Staring at the effect of the freezing spell, Ankai stood there stunned, and he couldn't help but begin to have doubts...

"Is my attribute too high? Or do I misunderstand the Freeze spell?"

After thinking it over, he realized that this was not the freezing technique he remembered.

In the nameless town, he saw people use it, but only to chill hot water or fruit...

As for its power...

That means if it hits you, you'll feel a slight pain...

It's definitely not as powerful as his [Freezing Spell]!

Standing at the cave entrance, Ankai looked at his fully upgraded interface…

【Level Lv1: 10/10 'Locked'】

Intelligence: 31 (Initial value: 1)

Endurance: 30 (Initial value: 1)

Stamina: 30 (Initial value: 1)

Strength: 30 (Initial value: 1)

[Talents: Immortality '∞', Mage's Body 'lv1']

【法术：冥想Lv4『40/40』、火球术Lv4『40/40』、冰冻术Lv1『7/10』】

[Identity: Nobody.]

The level remains unchanged, still level one.

However, before he went into seclusion, his attributes doubled, and his [Meditation] and [Fireball] levels both increased by two levels!

With Ankai wielding the Meditation Staff, he can gain an attribute point in just two days through meditation!

Compared to the four days of seclusion, it has been reduced by half!

And fireball...

laugh!

A fireball the size of a swimming ring suddenly appeared in An Kai's hand.

The light illuminated the cave, making it gleam.

With a thought, the fireball in his hand disappeared.

This is a change brought about by Ankai's meditation at level 4; he can now precisely control his spells.

Once released, the only way to retract the spell is to throw it out again...

After storing the animal meat from the cave into his storage ring, An Kai arrived at the cave entrance.

With little effort, he moved the boulder, which was two people tall.

His brute strength is so great that some might even believe he's a warrior...

Perhaps the sound of the boulder startled the nearby animals…

A three-meter-long aquatic animal slowly rises to the surface...

[Lv5: Desert Crocodile]

Its entire body was covered in dark brown skin and armor, and its sharp teeth reflected a dazzling light in the sunlight.

An Kai smiled slightly, and two fireballs suddenly appeared in his hands…

What happens when the desert crocodile sees a two-legged creature in its territory?

Just as he was about to open his mouth and use the [Water Arrow] spell to teach the two-legged beast a lesson, two large fireballs appeared in the two-legged beast's hands!

The desert crocodile admits it just acted impulsively; for a moment, it missed its mate…

At the same time, it seemed to see its ancestors calling it…

Boom! Boom!

Ankai was like a merciless [Fireball] machine!

He hurled fireballs, one after another, at the Desert Crocodile…

After smashing ten teeth, the Desert Crocodile was left with only a few, scattered along the lake shore…

The waters where the Desert Crocodile had just been were now filled with a vacuum created by Ankai's Fireball spell...

Because of Ankai's attack, the lake was evaporated and shrank considerably...

Ankai arrived at the site of the Desert Crocodile's death and picked up a crystal...

"exchange!"

[Skill Point +1]

Then it was added to [Freeze]...

【Freeze Spell Lv1『8/10』】

Ankai's attack just now blasted the Desert Crocodile into pieces after it withstood the third hit.

The extra seven pills were both a gift from An Kai and a way for him to vent his frustration after 300 days of seclusion…

After this outburst, the pent-up emotions from my seclusion vanished completely…

Composing himself, An Kai headed towards Chaos City…

Along the way, we happened to meet a fellow fisherman who was fishing from a horse-drawn carriage.

With little effort, Ankai obtained a carriage…

...

Chaos City.

At the city gate.

The former Hanks booth, where Hanks lay calmly to the side.

There were three burly men around him, feeding him and fanning him...

Meanwhile, Reed the Wizard replaced Hanks as the stall manager.

300 days ago.

After Ankai left, Hanks led Reed and the other three to the Bounty Tower and retrieved their remaining wealth.

I originally intended to resell them to recoup some of my losses.

Reed then said that staying with Hanks was more valuable than getting money in return.

He certainly wouldn't believe who Hanks is.

In order to save his life, Reed then took three warriors that night and, under Hanks' watchful eye, swindled 12 gold coins.

This delighted Hanks.

They loudly praised Reed and his three companions as geniuses.

Therefore, Reed and his three companions naturally became Hanks' slaves.

They considered running away and resisting, but the strength that Hanks inadvertently revealed deterred them.

It's no exaggeration to say that Hanks' strength is the strongest they've ever seen in their lives.

The four were somewhat puzzled: Hanks was so strong, so why didn't he have much of a reputation in Chaos City?

And their lives are not very affluent.

Hanks simply smiled and said that he was a businessman…

"A businessman? Pshaw!" Reed thought to himself upon hearing this.

On the surface, however, he was trying to find ways to flatter Hanks.

With the addition of Reed and his three companions, Hanks' life became more and more comfortable.

Reed and his three companions, perhaps because of their honest and simple appearance, always managed to easily gain the trust of others when deceiving them…

Widow Wang's gaze toward Hanks grew gentler with each passing day.

So, while Hanks set up a stall today, Widow Wang, imitating the wealthy ladies of the city, went to a rouge shop in the city center to buy some rouge to adorn herself…

Lying to the side, Hanks felt more and more that Ankai was his lucky star, having sent him four blessed generals...

"Wake up! Look at my carriage, crafted from high-grade magic stones, decorated with gold, and pulled by a high-level magical beast, the Fierce Horse. How much is it worth?!"

Hanks suddenly opened his eyes and saw Ankai, whom he had just been talking about…

Standing on a dilapidated carriage not far from his stall, he looked at Hanks with an expression that said, "This is a treasure!"

Upon seeing Ankai, Reed and his three companions immediately lowered their heads like quails...

Deceiving yourself into believing that Ankai hadn't discovered you...
