009: There's a Treasure Chest Ahead, So Jump Slashes Will Come in Handy Next
The roots meandered and coiled, lying in Li Aoz's palm, gently piercing between the palmaris brevis muscles on both sides, and then running straight in along Li Aoz's palmaris longus tendon. Instead of feeling rough or painful, Li Aoz felt an indescribable comfort, like eating watermelon while enjoying air conditioning in midsummer, feeling refreshed all over.
Those roots spread and grow rapidly in the body's physiological system, interacting and linking with its blood vessels and nerves. Without any rejection reaction, they naturally merge with the body's organs, cells, and blood, instantly completing a complete human ecosystem.
Li Aoz's senses shifted rapidly; he could feel a more vivid tactile sensation.
The intensity of flames, the arrogance of frost, the oppression of the atmosphere, the fury of thunder, the weight of earth, and the cruelty of metal.
Things we take for granted now rise and fall like waves, whispering their own emotions and fluctuations.
Rather than saying that roots are a modification of magical adaptability, it's more accurate to say that nature uses this method to bestow its blessings.
Smack
The roots snapped cleanly, and Li Aoz raised his hand, a slight light in his eyes, and he could clearly see all sorts of elemental forces flowing through his veins.

Specialized spells gain 180% learning speed and reduce mana cost by 8% when casting spells.
(New) Class Talent: Element Resonance - Among all magic, Elemental Magic is one of the most basic and oldest. We live surrounded by all the elements in the universe. However, with the progress of productivity and the development of civilization, magicians have gradually come to understand the elements in new ways.
As an [Elemental Mage], you possess an elemental affinity far exceeding that of ordinary people. Your spellcasting primarily utilizes classical elemental combinations and resonance bursts. Occasionally, you can also imbue elements with personality and spirit, causing them to manifest and assist in battle.
You will enjoy the following class characteristics: I. When casting Elemental Magic, the elements will actively obey your will and lock onto enemies and targets without the need for incantations; II. You have a 70% chance of not being automatically locked onto by Elemental Magic, and manual locking is unaffected by this.
III. You will gain a unique projection plane—the [Element Pool]—which stores your accumulated elemental energy. You can recharge it by consuming items or wait for it to regenerate naturally; IV. You can now see the distribution of elements in the space; V. Your ' Worldview ' will affect your classification and understanding of elements; VI. (Charisma Bonus) You are favored by nature, instantly gaining 5 points of [Intelligence] and an additional 400 points of Mana.

"Phew, not bad. I gain 5 points of Intelligence every 5 levels. I can now raise my secondary profession to level 60, which will give me 24 + 60 = 84 points of Intelligence."
Unfortunately Li Aoz doesn't have a similar growth-enhancing feat like [Perpetual · Love Hunter], otherwise he could have directly boosted his [Intelligence] to the Gamma-rank level.
"This body has a really good foundation. If I go back to Azure Planet now and inherit the original body's Aoneng and expertise, no matter how many Gamma-rank come, they will all die."
Li Aoz praised it highly.
In fact, Rio's physical attributes are quite average, but for him, they can produce a more powerful effect.
The renovation is complete, and the goal has been achieved. As for the two Timeless Masterpiece —keeping them in Sophia's garden is safer than keeping them in a bank. He doesn't need them now, so they can be stored away.
—If the weapon is left in the Biochemical Pool or in Ya Wen's hands, Li Aoz is really afraid that some [Plunderer] might just steal it.
He's not a player; players have the concern that weapons are bound to their equipment and won't drop, Li Aoz doesn't.
Thinking about it this way, Li Aoz suddenly discovered a business opportunity.
Is there anything more profitable than smuggling? The answer is: smuggling contraband!
Weapons, medicines, supplies, high-tech products, high-value targets, and human smuggling.
The interests involved in these items are so enormous that if you go through legal procedures to leave the country, customs officials will only admire you and say, "Wow, young man, you're getting more and more into trouble." Moreover, you'll have to pay taxes once you arrive at your destination.
How to store these things has always been a problem.
"I think I can leave some contraband with Sophia first—she won't attack me, and out of respect, she won't damage my supplies."
As long as she doesn't interfere with the normal operation of the garden, Sophia won't take action; this place can be used as her secret storage.
"Besides, based on the protection policy of White Candle Star, they will not send people to intervene on a large scale for the ancient civilization. Even if it is exposed, such a large ancient site is enough for me to move away in time."
Li Aoz always remembers how he made his fortune.
Life is all about: enjoying life, winning, feeling good, feeling numb, relaxing, and finding peace!
