Nightshire City, Maniacal Shrub Inn.
Xiao Ming and Evelyn were currently in front of her room. After spending time together for about five hours, they decided to return to the inn.
"Alright. I will go to my room now." Xiao Ming spoke abruptly.
"Un." Evelyn nodded her head.
He did not sleep right away after entering his room; instead, he lay on the bed and checked the reward given by the system.
'Transformation Mask card?'
He began to read the description of the reward.
'Oh! What an amazing card!'
He could change his face, body, and even aura as he pleased after wearing the mask.
'Wait! Is it a one-time use card again?'
All this time, he had only obtained one-time use cards, so he wondered whether the Transformation Mask Card was a one-time use card or not.
'System, is it one-time use card?'
He threw a question in his head.
[No, Host. The mask won't disappear, so you can use it as much as you want.]
'Good!'
His heart leaped up for joy.
'Now the problem is how do I get information about this world?'
He could not see all of his predecessor's memories, so he knew little about his current world.
'System, analyze my body carefully. Check if there is something wrong my body or not.'
The system instantly analyzed his body carefully. It took ten minutes for the system to finish scanning his body because he told the system to examine his body carefully.
[Ding! System has found a seal in Host's body.]
'I knew it! I knew it!'
He sat up.
'System, undo the seal right now.'
A glimmer of hope suddenly appeared in his heart.
Everything would be easier if he could see all of his predecessor's memories because he needed information so badly.
However, his hopes were shattered shortly after that.
[The current system is too low to break the seal. Please upgrade the system to level 10 first.]
'Update to Level 10?'
The corner of his lips twitched.
'Wait!'
He touched his chin.
'Does that mean the person who put the seal on my body is a strong person? Does my predecessor have a strong enemy?'
He sighed before lying on the bed again.
'My predecessor, why do you keep giving me trouble?'
He complained to his predecessor again.
'Well, forget it.'
He was using his predecessor's body, so he decided to forgive his predecessor.
'How do I upgrade the system?'
He had no idea how to level up his system because the system's experience point did not increase after he killed two magical beasts.
[Using beast cores.]
He wanted to cry but had no tears.
It was challenging to obtain beast cores because not all magical beasts had beast cores.
There was even a possibility that he would be killed before obtaining a beast core because only powerful magic beasts possessed a beast core.
'Wait!'
He suddenly remembered Evelyn.
'Yes. I will talk to her about this tomorrow.'
He hoped she could undo the seal tomorrow.
----
The following morning, Xiao Ming headed to Evelyn's room after waking up. He did not ask her to break the seal immediately because he wanted to have breakfast with her first.
"What?! There is a seal on your body?" Evelyn said in surprise. "What kind of seal is it?"
"It's not a dangerous one. This seal only prevents me from seeing my childhood memories." Xiao Ming lied to her, "Big sis, can you undo the seal for me?"
"I will try it." After saying that, she rose to her feet. "Let's go to your room now."
"Alright." He really hoped she could undo the seal later.
But a voice suddenly rang out when they were about to go to his room. "Beautiful angel, I've come to love you. No, I mean, I've come to see you."
Evelyn and Xiao Ming turned their heads toward the source of the sound.
She knew the person who had just spoken to her, but Xiao Ming didn't know anything about that person.
'Who is this old man?'
That was the question that appeared in his head.
"It's that pervert again!" Evelyn didn't expect to meet Kieran again.
When Kieran was in front of them, he immediately looked at Xiao Ming. "Oh, you have fully recovered?! As expected of the great me, I'm indeed the best healer in this city."
Xiao Ming turned his head to look at Evelyn because he did not understand anything.
"He was the one who healed your injuries." Even though Xiao Ming did not say anything and only stared at her, she knew what he had in mind.
When Xiao Ming looked at him, Kieran praised himself again. "That's right. I was the one who healed your injuries."
"Thank you for treating me." Xiao Ming expressed his gratitude.
"Aish, you don't need to thank me because my beautiful angel has given me a reward for treating your injuries." Kieran did not need Xiao Ming's gratitude.
Actually, he did not mind even if Evelyn did not pay him because meeting her was already a reward to him.
"Beautiful angel?" Xiao Ming shifted his gaze from Kieran to Evelyn.
'I know she is as beautiful as an angel, but this dude keeps calling her a beautiful angel since earlier. Isn't that embarrassing?'
He added in his head.
"I have paid for your treatment." Evelyn stated.
"That's right." Kieran responded, "Not only that, but she also gave me something special after treating you."
"Something special?" Xiao Ming suddenly wanted to know about it.
"I slapped his face!" Evelyn gave an honest.
"Yes. It was a slap full of love!" Kieran rubbed his right cheek as he smiled. "My angel, I haven't washed my face since yesterday because I don't want your slap marks to disappear from my cheeks."
She did not say anything, but she said Kieran was disgusting through her expression.
The corner of Xiao Ming's lips twitched.
'As I thought, he is a pervert!'
Actually, he had guessed this based on Kieran's behavior.
"Oh right, where are you going?" Kieran inquired.
"Big sister wants to try to break the seal on my body." Xiao Ming gave an honest answer.
"Seal? No wonder I felt something on your body when I was treating you yesterday." Kieran also felt something on Xiao Ming's body yesterday, but he did not say anything about it because he had no idea what it was.
"Ren, let's go to your room now." Evelyn wanted to try breaking the seal immediately.
"Alright." Xiao Ming nodded his head.
"Hey, wait for me." Kieran shouted.
The trio immediately headed to Xiao Ming's room.
Xiao Ming's heart was filled with hope, but his hopes were instantly shattered when Evelyn said she couldn't break the seal.
She said the seal was too complicated for her. She told him the one who put the seal on his body was at Grandmaster or Exalted rank.
When Evelyn saw Xiao Ming's expression, she wore a sad face. "Sorry."
Xiao Ming instantly smiled. "You don't need to apologize, big sister."
"That's right." Kieran added, "You just can't remember most of your memories, so it doesn't harm your body."
Even though Xiao Ming agreed with Kieran's words, but he really needed information about this world.
'Well, I will ask big sister Evelyn about this world later.'
He had an excuse now, so he would ask her to explain about his current world later.
"Wait!" Kieran suddenly remembered something important. "Does that mean you don't remember anything about the city mistress?"
"City mistress?" Xiao Ming tilted his head to the left. "Who is she? Do I know her?"
"City mistress is the Ruler of this city and your sugar mama!" Kieran shouted instantly.
"What?! Sugar mama?!" Xiao Ming said in surprise.
'Sugar mama?!'
Evelyn was also shocked by unexpected information.
