Chương 22: Lin Da's Three Major Skill Trees

When Lin Da first arrived in White Dove City, he often spent time at the library and had a general understanding of witches. The contracts from the game, when applied to reality, became 'A young girl with a strong, specific wish, seduced by the whispers of the Demon King, signs a soul-binding contract'.

In other words, witches are minions of the Demon King, cursed beings.

Wherever they went, cities were destroyed, and corpses littered the streets.

Witches at the end of their lives would even transform into 'Fallen Beasts', causing disasters of unprecedented horror.

For Lin Da, who was at Level 0, purifying such monsters was truly no easy task.

"What skill did you get?" Kafni asked with trepidation, seeing the look on his face.

Lin Da reported honestly.

"What, Witch Purification? What's the use of that? It's not even as good as the most common Legendary skills like Mana Blessing."

Kafni was stupefied. She had spent all her Divine Contribution Points and only drew such a lousy skill.

She heard from her seniors that some heroes were so lucky they could instantly obtain 'Tenfold Attack', 'Mana Consumption Halved', or other heaven-defying Legendary skills.

How could it be that her own hero was so unlucky...

Kafni fell into pessimism once again regarding how to save the Mystic Continent.

"Actually, this skill isn't that bad."

After contemplating for a while, Lin Da opened the steaming plate of pork chop rice and said, "Maybe we can use this skill to try and turn the witches."

"Turn them?" Kafni listlessly prodded her eel rice, feeling as though the luxurious taste in her mouth was like chewing wax.

"Right," Lin Da said. "Think about it, witches serve as the Demon King's servants because they are coerced, right? Unlike those who voluntarily swear allegiance and are brainwashed from birth in the Demon Lord's Army, witches submit to the Demon King out of compulsion. So it is certain that they are not as loyal to the Demon King as the magical creatures are."

"That's true," Kafni agreed with a nod.

Lin Da snapped his fingers, "This is where the Legendary skill, Witch Purification comes into play. If we could forcibly break the contract between the witches and the Demon King, wouldn't that be the same as saving their lives? By then, they would naturally have no reason to serve the Demon King anymore. Maybe they would even join the hero's camp as a result."

"Eh, that does make sense." Kafni's eyes lit up, and she stopped eating. "With this give and take, even if the Demon King breaks the seal and awakens, he'll be a weakling! In that case, we should not delay and go look for witches to purify right away!"

Luckily, she had a trace of Divine Power within her. She could sense witches, who had the Demon Lord's Power within them, from a certain distance, effectively a human radar.

She would be in charge of searching, and Lin Da in charge of purification. After accumulating ten cartloads of witches, they could go directly to challenge the Demon King!

Kafni, fantasizing about the glorious future, couldn't help but laugh heartily as she placed her hands on her hips.

Lin Da, however, sat steadily on the sofa without moving. He glanced at the enthusiastic Kafni and said,

"What are you thinking? Witches are wanted by the empire, hiding who knows where. How could we just find them? And even if we did, it's not certain they would trust me to open up and let me purify them."

The prerequisite for Witch Purification was a high level of trust, followed by physical contact. The higher the trust level, and the deeper the contact, the more thorough the purification.

But these days, merely touching a girl's hand could get you sued by the Law Enforcement Bureau, let alone touching a witch—surely the risk must be even greater?

Witches, able to hear the Demon King's whispers and be enchanted by them, are often psychologically unstable. It would be a light outcome if they sued you at the Law Enforcement Bureau, but one could fear for their very life.

Before raising his level, Lin Da definitely did not want to meet the witches of this world.

After hearing all of that, Kafni's enthusiasm deflated: "After all this, isn't it just a useless skill?"

"There will always be a way. If all else fails, we could just subdue them, tie them up, and purify them."

Lin Da shrugged his shoulders.

He bowed his head to enjoy his pork chop rice, while concurrently opening the Skill Tree page on his personal panel.

At the moment, this Skill Tree had three main branches: the Recovery Series, the Poison Technique Series, and the dark, somewhat blurry Witch Series.

The effects of the Witch Series Skills were still unknown, but the Poison Technique Series Skills were known for their high sustained damage.

The first level of the Poison Technique Series Skill Tree already attained the Purple Rare quality, and further up there was a string of orange, red, and several golden Legendary Skills.

In contrast to the common profession of a Healer, whose Skill Tree's first-level skills are all of ordinary white quality.

The Level 20 Ultimate Skill "Healing Rain" was barely a Purple Rare Level skill.

Although Lin Da had started over from Level 0, by the time he returned to Level 15, his combat power would flip over a dozen times.

"After getting the team withdrawal certificate, I should go out and farm some Slimes. My level is too low now, and I don't have a single Skill Point," Lin Da thought to himself.

Earning Skills required Skill Points, and at the moment, at Level 0, he had zero Skill Points.

The only Active Skill he possessed was the attack-less "Witch Purification," which relied on his initial high strength attribute of 15 for hand-to-hand combat.

Swallowing the last bite of his pork chop rice, Lin Da said contentedly, "Dinner's finished, time to start cleaning the house."

He grabbed Kafni, who was trying to go to sleep, with a warm smile on his face.

By the time he finished his chores, it was already late at night.

The house, once covered with dust, looked brand new.

When it was time to rest, since the rental house had only one bedroom and one bed, Lin Da and Kafni had an argument about who should sleep on the bed.

"Damn Hero, you're such a damned nuisance, sooner or later, one day, I will... sooner or later..."

Kafni, with several bumps on her head, curled up on the sofa in pain, her body draped in a blanket, tears of frustration leaking from her eyes.

Lin Da's fists were too big, too hard, and it only took a couple of hits to leave her critically injured.

Humbled and humiliated, Kafni had no choice but to reluctantly give up the bed.

In the bedroom.

Lin Da lay with the back of his head resting on his arm, staring blankly at the ceiling above, feeling a bit unreal.

He had actually fulfilled his wish to 'sleep on the bed in the rental house' once. Back when he lived there, as the only male in the team, he was naturally relegated to the sofa.

At that time, he often wondered how comfortable it must be to lie in the bed in the bedroom.

Now that this unfinished dream was realized, it wasn't as exciting as he initially thought.

Indeed, time and circumstances greatly affect a person's mindset. After his sister disappeared, Lin Da's personal desires became quite faint, apart from his research on the World Tree, he had little interest in anything else.

He remembered Lin Xi liked to sleep in the innermost spot. He involuntarily moved closer to that side, sniffing as if he could catch a trace of his sister's scent.

In the darkness, Lin Da fumbled and pulled out a pocket watch, opened it, and the white jade-like dial emitted a faint glow, illuminating the combined photo of the two inside the case.

How could Lin Xi have disappeared inside the World Tree, and who had secretly placed her pocket watch on his desk? This was something Lin Da often thought about when he couldn't sleep at night, but even after three years, he had no clue.


Chương 23: 23. Truly delicious

Lin Xi disappeared on the fourth level of the World Tree.

According to the rules of the World Tree Secret Realm, except for the Great Mystery Continent that appears every five levels, other realms can only be entered once.

After coming out from the fourth level, Lin Da could not re-enter it; to farm monsters, he could only go to the Great Mystery Continent and other ordinary secret realms outside the World Tree.

However, there was one method that could allow him to return to the fourth level.

That was to change his profession.

After changing professions, both his level and his strategy records for the World Tree were reset to zero.

When Lin Da re-entered the World Tree, he would start from the first level, and he could replay the fourth level mystery again.

"Lin Xi now should be level 30, becoming a Star-ranked adventurer, right?"

Before disappearing, Lin Xi was already level 15, half higher than the other members of the team.

Such a speed of leveling up was like cheating.

"Sleep."

The time shown on his pocket watch had reached two in the morning, and Lin Da felt a wave of tiredness strike him. There had been too much happening today... He had left the team, then became a hero, and resolved to create his own team.

It was a single day that brought him as much fatigue as a usual month.

Lin Da closed his pocket watch and drifted off into sleep.

The next morning.

In a simple breakfast restaurant.

Lin Da and Kafni sat at the table, struggling to gnaw on the rock-hard bread in their hands.

When Kafni walked into this shop, she immediately drew fiery stares from everyone else, making Lin Da a bit uncomfortable.

Great Panda is indeed impressive.

It's a universal truth, regardless of the world!

At the small wooden table, Lin Da sipped on the milk in his bowl. He glanced sideways, only to see the early morning sun streaming through the window, casting a gentle light on the face of a blonde deity.

Kafni's eyelashes were long, and her blue eyes resembled pure gems, reflecting the sunlight, giving them a saintly beauty at first glance.

A thought crossed Lin Da's mind.

Dressing such a Kafni in humble hemp skirts seemed rather wasteful.

Lia would likely mock and scoff at her if she saw.

And since he had left the team, visiting the Snow Goose Adventure Team today as a guest, he was supposed to dress formally.

He also wanted to see how pretty a dressed-up Kafni could be, wondering if she could overshadow those young ladies.

So, he made a request to Kafni.

Thud.

The bread in Kafni's hand dropped to the floor, her face full of disbelief.

"You want me, a deity, to wear revealing clothes and play your female teammate?"

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

Kafni's neck flushed red with anger.

She already detested Lin Da, so how could she possibly pretend to be good teammates with him?

Moreover, calling it dressing up was merely making her into a roasted chicken!

Those skirts barely reaching the thighs, and off-shoulder dresses—how could she, the manly Kafni, ever wear them?!

A moment later.

In front of a second-hand clothing store.

"It's settled then, I get the bed for the next month."

Kafni had already transformed herself from a destitute street woman of Sparrow District into a vibrant and pretty woman of the Inner City District.

"This..."

Lin Da was somewhat astonished.

At this moment, Kafni wore a tight black sleeveless top, covered with a small white jacket, but her massive shoulders almost seemed to slip free from its grasp, invoking the obsessive compulsion in anyone to pull them up properly for her.

She was wearing hot pants on her lower body, her legs white and plump like jade pillars, stepping in sneakers from the Otherworld, decorated with little wing patterns.

Kafni was tall and slim, standing with one hand on her hip like a model, her earlobes adorned with sparkling crystal earrings.

She cocked her head slightly, looking at Lin Da with confusion, "What's wrong?"

"You look good," Lin Da said.

"Wha-what?"

Kafni's face turned red, unexpectedly feeling a subtle joy after Lin Da's compliment.

This discovery made her panic. Why would she be happy about a man saying she looks good? That wasn't normal!

"Don't think that just because compliments are free, I would forgive your reprehensible actions!"

Kafni tightened her white jacket, suddenly feeling too exposed and uncomfortable all over.

"No, I mean, you really do look good."

Lin Da had always had high regard for women as ambitious as pandas.

"Stop talking," Kafni muttered, her voice softer than a mosquito's.

Just then, the carriage arrived, and Lin Da called the squirmy Kafni to get inside.

"To the Inner City District."

Lin Da handed over the last of his copper coins to the coachman.

The road from the Sparrow District to the Inner City District was uneven, full of bumps that made the carriage vibrate.

On the red velvet sofa, Kafni, sitting next to Lin Da with her legs pressed together, almost fell on him several times as the carriage tilted.

Lin Da didn't mind, back when Snow Goose Adventure Team was poor, five people would squeeze into a carriage, piling up in layers.

Rubbing shoulders and legs with Kafni was nothing unusual for him.

But he didn't know what was wrong with Kafni today. Since leaving the clothing store, she'd been acting weird, none of her usual arrogance.

Lin Da saw her hands as if having nowhere to rest, one moment on her knees, the next under her butt, her head hanging low, her gaze drifting.

The carriage passed over a large pothole and jolted sharply, Kafni's arm accidentally brushed against Lin Da, and she quickly withdrew it as if electrocuted.

What the heck is wrong with her?

Lin Da was utterly baffled.

"We've reached the Inner City District."

A moment later, the carriage stopped, and Lin Da saw Kafni was still daydreaming.

"Oh... oh! Thank you," Kafni snapped out of it, hurriedly opened the door of the carriage, and stepped out almost as if escaping.

First, she moved out a dazzlingly white long leg, then Kafni slowly straightened her waist, lifted her messy golden hair with her hand, and gradually opened her cold, aloof eyes to adjust to the bright sunlight outside.

Her posture made Lin Da sense a subtle femininity.

The two of them walked one after the other on the broad, tidy street, heading toward the villa of Snow Goose Adventure Team.

Lin Da noticed something odd, it seemed he was turning quite a few heads, attracting many passersby to pause and look.

Although being a former healer of Snow Goose Adventure Team made him somewhat famous, it couldn't be to this extent, could it?

Perplexed, he looked around and suddenly realized that within Kafni's tight black top, there were a pair of bouncing big guys, like a Slime casting the skill "Taunt."

No wonder!

These were so big; any adventurer would want to tackle them, right?

"What's wrong?" Kafni frowned and asked.

"It's nothing," Lin Da replied, turning his head away.

Seeing his somewhat awkward expression, Kafni belatedly realized something.

Kafni stared straight at her own chest, her cheeks quickly heating up.

She swiftly turned her head to the side.

On the street, Lin Da looked embarrassedly to the left, Kafni bit her lip and looked to the right— even she didn't know why she did that, but her heart felt like it was pounding out of her throat!
