Chapter 122: Chapter 89: Magic Pet Skills and Fifty Gold Coin Black Bread_2

"For others, it’s essential, but for me, well, what’s most important is the research data."

After memorizing these things, Gu Shanhai put them back exactly as they were before.

"I hope the next unlucky fellow can figure something out from this." Gu Shanhai tidied up the scene before leaving the wizard’s underground chamber with Little White.

He casually reinforced the magic on the door as it was before. Although he had solved it using numerous passive methods, it wasn’t just a matter of casting spells to complete it, but since he had done it himself, he naturally understood the principle behind it.

"Wait, leaving like this doesn’t feel quite right." Gu Shanhai had just risen when he muttered to himself.

"I’ve taken their benefits, so I should at least reinforce the lock before leaving."

"Otherwise, if I just left, wouldn’t it seem like I’m ungrateful? Let’s consider this repaying the favor."

Gu Shanhai squatted down to optimize the magic lock, including but not limited to changing the opening keycode and the explosion power.

"With this lock, even a fledgling like me could open it, so a little enhancement is necessary."

Saying this, Gu Shanhai quietly added a little something that looked almost the same as the original but included an extra small step that wasn’t noticeable from the outside.

As for the explosion power, the power of a hand grenade seemed too shocking. After all, sending someone sky-high for just trying to steal is a bit much. Therefore, he added an enchantment for a healing spell, so the person who gets blown up would at least have healing to help them.

"I changed the lock, but what if the original owner can’t get in?" Gu Shanhai sighed, suppressing a smile.

"No worries, no worries. The other person is a genius. How could they not manage it? They’ll definitely get in."

Gu Shanhai almost laughed out loud, imagining the scene of some unlucky person coming home, missing a stroke, getting blown up by his own trap, and then receiving healing.

Of course, surprising the original owner was just one of Gu Shanhai’s whims. His real concern was aimed at the potential encounter with the nobility.

If it were full mastery of Magic Pet techniques, like grouping multiple Magic Pets into one pocket, it could easily create an army of Magic Beasts, which would be much cheaper than knights.

Knights were the most expensive, followed by priests, and then druids and wizards.

"Past life information never revealed anything about an army of Magic Beasts, which means if things had progressed normally, there wouldn’t be any. If there were, the players back then would have encountered several battle scenarios, so it’s likely it backfired..."

Gu Shanhai knew the biggest trap wasn’t the improved magic lock, but the missing technique.

"The creator of the Magic Pet technique, whether they’re still alive or what they’re planning, it’s mysterious that they deliberately released this treasure map."

...

In the Royal Capital, Gu Shanhai casually deactivated the Magic Pet pocket inside his Dragon Scale Robe. This gadget was quite handy, especially convenient for carrying Little White.

Little White didn’t really like going in; it was empty inside.

Therefore, Gu Shanhai didn’t put Little White inside it, because for wizards, Magic Pets are servants, but for druids, the emphasis is on the ’companion’ in animal companion, not the animal.

So generally, Gu Shanhai preferred to keep Little White by his side.

"Enlightenment Tree, Meditation Tree are gathered, the Magic Pet skills... Let’s talk about that another time. I’ve already mastered the Internal Organ Divination Skill, and these days have been quite relaxed."

Along the way, besides being attacked by the merchant Coreya, it was just minor issues like thieves and brigands. He inadvertently fed them to the Meditation Tree, which saved Gu Shanhai quite a bit of time.

Now, he was cultivating a new Spirit Plant using Ivy as the main body, named Circulation Vine, derived from the concept of celestial motion. Its main function is to absorb Spiritual Energy and convert it into Mana within Gu Shanhai’s body, virtually creating his own auto-training device.

The results were very good; Level 0 Circulation Vine had already reached 10% efficiency of Gu Shanhai’s own training. But Gu Shanhai only practiced for an hour daily, whereas the Circulation Vine could assist him in training constantly; ten hours of its time equaled one of his, which was sufficient.

Once cultivated to Level 1, the results should be even better. But even now, with such efficiency, Gu Shanhai didn’t need to think too much about training.

After entering the Royal Capital, Gu Shanhai felt somewhat helpless. There were five or six days left until the Battle of Honor, and such a grand event caused many knights to flood in.

It was a matter naturally much more lively than usual, as it was set to decide the King.

But with more nobles and knights, various incidents were likely to arise.

Of course, most prevalent were players.

Most of the players here had Western faces, while Eastern ones had gone to the neighboring Martial World. People like Gu Shanhai were rather rare.

But he didn’t attract much attention. His head bore deer antlers, his body was draped in wolf skin, and his face was painted with peculiar patterns making it hard to discern clearly, and topped with ***’s ID, so no other player noticed him, though the locals were quite curious.
