Li Huan's entire body was now enclosed by the cyclone. And he controlled everything in the room.
Once his level increased, he would be able to level up his skills a step further!
When the time came, the area within his control would be far wider than a single room!
In an instant, a few magic balls appeared beside him again.
Combining two basic skills together naturally required greater control power.
But to Li Huan, it was a piece of cake!
The few magic balls were already rising up slowly within the cyclone. Then, they fused with the cyclone, and started to spin together with it!
It had been too long since Li Huan felt the pleasure of having everything under his control.
Dong, dong, dong.
After a brief moment of self-absorption, he finally came to his senses.
It seemed like someone was knocking on the door.
Tsk, who was it? Hadn't he already informed the people from the chamber of commerce not to bother him for no reason?
Could it be that the other chamber of commerce, which he had humiliated in public that day, was now looking for him to create trouble?
It was certainly possible!
But they knew what he was capable of. By coming to his door at such a time, wouldn't they simply be looking for a fight?
Li Huan went downstairs somewhat irritated, and opened the door.
There were no arrogant, bossy people from that chamber of commerce at the door. Only a young girl who looked familiar.
"Hello! I heard you say today that you wanted to go to the Imperial City?"
No wonder she looked familiar! Wasn't she one of Mage apprentices at the magic shop earlier that day?
"No, I don't want to go."
After he finished speaking, Li Huan started to close the door.
"Wait a moment! I know what they said today was too much. I apologize to you on their behalves! I apologize!"
The young girl anxiously held on to the door as it started to close, as if she still had something to say.
"I said, I'm not going. It's got nothing to do with all of you."
Li Huan looked at the "LV6" on the young girl's head. He really did not want to take that burden along.
Although she was quite a good-looking female, that was not the time to think about such things.
After he said that, he slammed the door shut.
...
Over the next few days, Li Huan was almost always in the Mage Tower.
He was reading like crazy.
Because reading could earn him more skill points! At that moment, players had yet to arrive in the game. And many of the places he remembered using to grind levels had not opened up yet. He could only earn experience and skill points by reading in the Mage Tower.
By practicing spell casting, he could actually also earn skill points and experience. But its efficiency was virtually negligible. Since there was a quicker and more convenient way, why would he go and practice spell casting?
However, a few days later, he had finished reading almost all the new - and likely to be useful - books in the Mage Tower. As expected, that place was still too small.
In order to obtain truly great power, he still had to go to the center of the kingdom!
If he could obtain a higher level of authority, he would be able to unlock the next level of the library. Then, he would be able to learn even more!
Only after acquiring more resources from the city, would he have the confidence to continue on his journey!
As Li Huan walked out of the Mage Tower, he saw something unusual in front. A large group of Mage apprentices was looking towards the upper levels of the Mage Tower, full of anticipation.
Although a sizeable number of people gathered there on a normal day, everyone seemed to be waiting for something that day.
"Cough cough! Ladies and gentlemen, I hereby announce! As our Mage Tower needs a large batch of new materials, we will commence the collection of Demon Hearts!"
From the upper levels of the Mage Tower, someone walked out, cleared his throat, and announced in a loud voice.
Demon Hearts?
Demon Heart was a generic term for items dropped after a monster was killed.
Monsters also came in various types and levels, because by nature, they were creatures that had been corroded by magic. Every different monster had a different level of difficulty to kill.
Demon Hearts also had a very unique characteristic. Only by using magic to kill a monster, could a Demon Heart be dropped. And so only Mages could complete that mission!
"As long as I hand over the Demon Hearts collected to the Mage Tower, I'll be able to get gold coins! On top of that, raise my authority level in the Mage Tower, which will give me more special privileges there!"
Li Huan's eyes lit up! By helping the Mage Tower collect Demon Hearts, not only could he obtain gold coins, he could also increase his authority level in the Mage Tower!
Moreover, the mission was targeted towards the Mage apprentices. So the capability requirements were probably not very high. With his Level 13 abilities already a rare existence there, together with his Skeleton King, wouldn't it be a breeze killing some little monsters?
[New Mission: Mage Tower's Request for Help ]
[Mission Objective: Collect Demon Hearts, submit to the Mage Tower]
A new mission!
When he saw his new mission, Li Huan almost had a heart attack on the spot!
Wasn't that too favorable to him? It was akin to earning two salaries for one job! How could there be such a wonderful thing in the world? Enough talking! That mission, he had to do it! Even if the monsters were a few levels higher than him, he had to try!
Li Huan took a step towards the front of the stage, expressing his desire to accept the mission.
"Hahahaha! Good! Everyone, look! Someone has already come forward to sign up! What are you all waiting for?"
"Excellent! What a brave Mage! I wish you..."
Before the presiding Mage could finish speaking, he was left looking at Li Huan's departing back view filled with determination.
All right, it seemed like that unfamiliar-looking Mage had his own ideas on what to do!
Li Huan simply took the monster distribution map and left. He did not have time to listen to others rattle on.
Outside the city, the monsters' haunt.
After he arrived, Li Huan realized that the monsters' abilities were not even one-tenth of what he had imagined.
They were merely Level 4 and 5 little monsters.
Creatures, once corroded by magic, would turn into grotesque-looking monsters.
But he was not sure if anyone had heard of the saying.
The weirder they looked, the faster they died!
Li Huan did not even need to activate his Skeleton King. He simply released a few random Skeleton soldiers to surround himself, and then it was one punch one kill!
Bright red numbers kept popping up before his eyes.
He was too lazy to even get up to pick those Demon Hearts up, because there were just too many. He would just pick them all up later.
However, Li Huan did not let his guard down at all!
Because he knew! For monster grinding spots in the wild, after a certain grinding level had been reached, their leader would be drawn to the area!
Li Huan realized that his concerns were unfounded only when the leader appeared.
The leader of those monsters, was only a Level 9 little monster!
He had waited so long, because he wanted to turn the leader into his own Skeleton soldier after killing it!
It had already been evening when he left the Mage Tower.
It was now late in the night, but Li Huan had no intention of going back.
