Chapter 005: Gratitude for Gifts

Fireball skill proficiency + 1

The Mage Association is completely open to the outside. Looking inside, one can still see a few scattered remains of corpses...

At this moment, Ankai walked out from behind the boulder

Half the time for cultivation, half the time for rest

However, Ankai is not anxious; he is preparing to relocate

As if some kind of conflict had occurred here

However, not every Thornbug possesses a core; only those Thornbugs endowed with the mage talent will generate this core

Standing in place, Ankai let out a sigh of relief

The Mage Association is unaware of any changes

Upon seeing this, a smile finally appeared on Ankai's face

Skill Point + 1

This further corroborates his thoughts

This time, An Kai took only about five hours to return to the nameless small town

Walking alongside the walls of the houses in the small town for approximately ten minutes, the three-story Mage Association appeared before Ankai

Over the past year, Ankai has allocated his time for secluded training in a roughly one-to-one ratio.

Ankai will allocate skill points

By that time, he will fear no threats and will enjoy his path to immortality in peace and stability

This level of endurance would likely make even seasoned warriors question whether An Kai is truly one of their kind

It was also at the moment when his intelligence level first broke through to 11 that An Kai suddenly realized that his skills could continue to improve in rank

The entire third floor has only one room

Ankai arrived at this place, picked up the crystal, and silently uttered the word "Exchange"

The situation has changed, and the people are no longer the same

One day, he will elevate his attributes to a level that others cannot even imagine, and his skill level will reach the true maximum level

This unprecedented battle beyond the level has filled An Kai with hope for the future

[Talent: Immortality ∞, Mage Body lv1]

After all, his lifespan is infinite, unlike others whose lifespans range from a short hundred years to a long two hundred years

Ankai left the Gobi Desert and embarked on a journey of relocation. His other secret hideout is located to the south, requiring passage through an unnamed small town

Ankai muttered to himself as he walked towards the Mage Association, moving along the houses lining the street. When he encountered obstructing skeletons, he would kindly kick them aside

There is always a thought of fast-forwarding to ten thousand years later

In one breath, without resting

Not bad

Apart from this, there are no other rooms in the main hall, but there are two or three skeletons...

Following the shadows of the Gobi Desert, Ankai cautiously returned to his cave

What if the level cannot be raised

It is not unacceptable to advance one level each year

Such a scene made An Kai feel a chill in his heart

Including the former president, this top expert from the nameless town has also left the nameless town

During this period, there were five breaks.

With a sigh, An Kai ascended the staircase covered in ashes and sand, reaching the second floor

There are no footprints present on the street

On both sides of the street, there are also some scattered white bones and torn strips of cloth

The once valuable pair of doors has vanished without a trace

All of this was telling An Kai that after he left, a war broke out in the nameless town

Stamina: 14 (initially 1)

In response to such intruders, An Kai did not hesitate; a fireball emerged from his hand and was instantly hurled, reducing the three skeletons to a ground of black and white bone powder

The stench of decay assaults the senses, a stark contrast to the fragrance from a year ago, as different as heaven and earth

At this moment in the cave, only the last piece of dried beast meat remains

The same is true in other places, where a decaying odor permeates the air

At this moment, although his Fireball spell is only at Lv2, he is able to defeat the Lv4 Thorn Worm due to the fundamental reason of his physique

Surely, the data hasn't been completely lost...

Amidst the scattered white fragments of bodies, there exists a white crystal the size of a fingernail.

The streets of the town, due to the lack of residents to clean them, have become covered in dust and windblown sand

It seems that the small town of www.hetushu.com has failed

Ankai gathered his thoughts and walked to the entrance

The system prompt appeared, and Anla revealed a faint smile on her face

including some spell analysis materials

Hunting in this Gobi desert is somewhat challenging

[Level Lv1: 10 / 10 'Lock']

All of this is attributed to his balanced attributes, which enable him to accomplish things that other mages cannot

Some are nailed to the walls of the house, while others are slumped in the corners of the house

Even so, his four attributes have also surpassed 10 points.

He also does not know what the beliefs of these people are; if they all expressed them, he would surely be able to guess at least one correctly

A year ago, he was not qualified to enter here

One year later, I return to the nameless town

Physical Strength: 15 (initially 1)

These items are needed by Ankai

The former president mentioned during the mobilization that the Mage Association would be temporarily closed, but some of the materials inside would not be taken away

The white crystal is the core of the thorn bug and can also be exchanged for skill points, similar to magic stones

Ankai is unaware of how many attribute points other mages have at each level, but he is relatively satisfied with his current situation

At that time, he directly leveled up meditation to Lv2 with full experience

The second floor is quite similar to the first floor

[Spell: Meditation Lv2 www.hetushu.com 20 / 20, Fireball Lv2 13 / 20]

Undeterred, he entered the Mage Association

He opened his panel

The balanced development of attributes allows him to be more enduring compared to other mages of the same attribute, while also ensuring that his spell power does not lag behind

Unfortunately, this is not a game; one can only be pragmatic and move forward step by step

There is also a layer of magical fluctuations on its surface, which should be a contingency left by the former president

It is just the right opportunity to return to the nameless small town and see if there have been any changes

Everywhere is a scene of devastation

On his journey, Ankai walked from night to day before reaching the Gobi Desert

As far as the eye can see, the town is enveloped in silence, with no signs of human life.

He consecutively unleashed six fireball spells without breaking a sweat or turning red in the face

This is also true; since that night, the number of people who have left the town is unknown.

Scattered debris, ruins everywhere

This is also the office and living room of the former president

With hands clasped together, softly reciting: "Amitabha, Infinite Heavenly Sovereign, may the Lord bless you all..."

After taking a brief glance, An Kai continued to ascend the stairs. As he approached the entrance to the third floor, he discovered three skeletons piled together.

At the entrance of the town, the crooked tree that Hanks liked to lie under now has three unfortunate souls hanging from it, their remains reduced to bones

These bodies have now become mere skeletons, and An Kai does not know who they are

Let alone hunting for edible game meat

He first retreated to the staircase, and then two fireballs the size of human heads appeared in his hands

In the desert, he has a secret hideout where the supplies are sufficient to sustain him for approximately two years

Identity: Unknown Soldier

The room for the apprentice mage, overseen by the former president, received the same benefits as the room for the distribution of welfare by Widow Wang

Fireball Level 2 "13 / 20"

Intelligence: 15 (initially 1)

The remaining skill points were allocated to the Fireball spell

He has enough time to support his meditation and add some...

Standing amidst the remnants of the thorned insect, An Kai's heart surged with emotion

Strength: 14 (initially 1)

Boom! Boom!

The next day

The welfare distribution room managed by Widow Wang is even more desolate; not to mention the door, even the walls have been reduced to a pile of rubble.

There is no need to look too closely at the first floor; with the doors gone, what valuable items could possibly remain

If he continued to cultivate, An Kai felt he would go insane

Of course, it would be even better if there were remnants of the magic stone, but he also knows that this is impossible

Without a second thought, I directly struck at the contingency left by the former president

Thank you for the generous gift from the former president

Stepping on the bone meal, Ankai entered the third floor

The time for him to acquire attribute points has been shortened from 7 days to 5 days
