Chapter 175: Chapter 109: Sudden Encounter_2

He wasn’t that kind of person.

The reason Xia Nan left one alive after clearing out the entire goblin nest and "watched" it die.

Was mainly to test the [Gravity Compression] (simplified version) he accidentally acquired in a Wild Mage’s journal.

No need to filter original magic power through the Magic Net, nor pre-construct a Magic Model.

In the simplest way, using spiritual power to induce magic particles in the air, affecting the intangible "gravity."

Just like the Beast Priests and Bloodline Mages of ancient wilderness, no need to learn complex and extensive magic knowledge.

Which is very suitable for someone like Xia Nan who picked this up midway as an outsider.

It’s just that, maybe he really has no talent in this area.

Over two months have passed since he got the journal.

With very little progress.

According to the method left by the Wild Mage, he concentrated his attention, and could vaguely feel his consciousness extending outward like tentacles.

But the distance was very short, and the things he could perceive were very vague.

Forget about adjusting the gravity, he couldn’t even control the magic particles in the air.

Xia Nan even wondered if he should find some sort of "meditation method" to improve his spiritual power before training.

Not anxious either.

Spellcasters are rare and powerful, regardless of most anime novels in his previous life, or in the current fantasy world, it’s a widely acknowledged fact.

But since Xia Nan came to this world, he’s been fighting with his body up close, not getting involved with magic, nor has he teamed up with any spellcasters, so he lacked a real sense of it.

Now unexpectedly obtaining a simplified spell from a Wild Mage three hundred years ago, it would naturally be great to learn it.

And if he couldn’t learn it in a short time, there’s no rush.

He’s patient enough.

Even if it ultimately proves that he really has no talent in this field, Xia Nan would at most find it a pity, then decisively give up.

Having an attribute panel gives him a clear and definite path of advancement.

Even with the most common warrior profession, following the path of upgrade, transcendent, legendary... with the accumulation of countless specialties, attribute points, and equipment, he is confident his combat power shouldn’t be much weaker than a spellcaster of the same level.

Besides, in these two months, Xia Nan’s main goal wasn’t this simplified spell.

He tightened the backpack behind him and took a couple of steps toward the cave entrance.

His gaze lowered.

Reflected in the faint light of the nest, the sticky crimson blood vaguely mirrored his blurry figure.

Eyes narrowed.

Semi-transparent characters emerged before him.

[Teeth Hunting] lv2: (89/100)

Sixty to seventy days, nearly two hundred skill points.

You could say, he got a thrill out of it.

Xia Nan even felt that during this time, he was more desperate than when he had just graduated in his previous life, fighting in a big internet company.

Prepare supplies - take tasks - slay goblins - return to town - prepare supplies - take tasks...

Non-stop, with barely any rest.

And the benefits of such hard work were certainly quite substantial.

Not only did he upgrade his newly learned [Teeth Hunting] to the level close to lv3 "Skilled," but he also saw his bank account grow rapidly.

His net worth reached 576 gold, 8 silver, and 2 copper.

Plus the reward and loot from this task, he should be able to earn another twenty or so gold coins.

Big earnings.

Of course, the fact that he, alone, without joining any team, could still smoothly and steadily take tasks and earn money, and increase skill level.

His own strength was one aspect.

It also benefited from his unwavering humility, treating himself as a cautious newbie adventurer.

Before setting out, spending a lot of gold coins (even if some would be wasted) to ensure sufficient supplies for long-term survival in the forest, only accepting goblin-related tasks, and the location must be near the outskirts of the Mist Forest, with a maximum round-trip of three days.

Before entering a goblin nest, he would fully observe the surrounding environment.

If he found too many green skins, beyond his ability to handle, or the possibility of Bear Goblins and Earth Goblins existing...

He would not hesitate to retreat immediately.

[Teeth Hunting] as a displacement-type Battle Skill, with his current physical condition, he could use it multiple times in a short period.

Allowing him to easily distance himself from enemies.
