The Deal

Li Yao ultimately failed to kill the strange snake.

Whether it's green or not is just a joke. After all, Li Yao didn't really care about that strange snake, and even forgot about its existence for a while after returning from Egypt. So, everyone just does their job as a scumbag, and no one needs to apologize.

Besides, although Lin Xiaoxi is mischievous, she is still my best friend's sister, so I should take care of her.

Even though Lin Xiaoxi has incredibly strong luck protecting her, she is still just an ordinary person.

What if they really encounter danger one day and Li Yao can't get there in time? Looking around...

Various people with extraordinary abilities gradually appeared around Li Yao.

The people in the Midnight Bar, my own Chen Xi, Han Xiaosang... they all have something unusual about them.

According to the "Law of Attraction," when a person's activities and thoughts are focused on a particular area, people, things, and events related to that area will be attracted to it. It's as if there is an unseen force that draws similar things and people to our side.

But Lin Xiaoxi is different.

She is indeed an ordinary person.

Unable to sense spiritual energy or possess any talent for cultivation, he stumbled into the world of the supernatural through sheer luck.

What if her luck turns bad one day and she does something reckless? Neither Li Yao nor Chen Xi can be her guardian spirit; they can't protect her 24/7.

Therefore, handing the strange snake over to Lin Xiaoxi is actually a good idea.

Li Yao still remembers the scene of the monstrous snake intimidating everyone in the Sahura space.

If it hadn't encountered its natural enemy Hellfire Crystal Insect, it would surely have become a scourge! Li Yao waved his hand, signaling the strange snake to follow Lin Xiaoxi. The strange snake excitedly let out a strange cry and rushed towards Lin Xiaoxi, but when it got close, it became very frightened and stopped shyly, as if afraid that Lin Xiaoxi would throw it away again.

Lin Xiaoxi: "Ha, this ugly snake is actually quite intelligent. What's your name?"

The monstrous snake. "Shh!"

Lin Xiaoxi: "Popep? What a tongue-twisting name... Shall I give you a name?"

The serpent seemed very happy. "Hehehe!"

Lin Xiaoxi punched her palm. "I'll call you Bo Zai since you're so young!"

cockatrice. "???"

Lin Xiaoxi said happily, "It's decided then!"

The serpent. "... Shh!"

Lin Xiaoxi pouted and said, "Objection overruled, Bo Zai, let's go!"

Lin Xiaoxi skipped upstairs, while the monstrous snake Popep looked dejected and seemed unable to accept the name. Sauron, watching from the side, recalled the bitter experience of being threatened by Li Yao and comforted her, "You should be content. At least ' Bo Zai' is a nickname. Do you know what name this mage wanted to give me back then?"

"Goba Gaba Gaba Crawling Demon King! Lonely Dugu Doolulu General! Are you scared yet?!" The strange snake's big, round eyes stared at Li Yao, as if asking: What the hell kind of demon are you?! Li Yao solemnly replied, "I insist that Crawling Demon King is a good name!"

Sauron: "..."

Damn it, just get lost!

It twisted its body and disappeared into the shadows. Damn it, I'm going to find Xiao Zhao!

The strange snake flicked its tail and went off to find a new master!

It was terrified that Li Yao would give it the name "Dala Bengba Bande Bedi Budo Biru Weng Snake"!

Imagine this: the atmosphere is serious, both sides are preparing to fight and exchange names, and the other person shouts out a very imposing and powerful name, while you? The name you shout out is so confusing it'll drive them crazy!

Final result:

Either the enemy will suffocate to death, or the enemy will angrily kill you!

Thinking of this, the strange snake Popep shuddered... It was just a small snake that had lived for over two thousand years and hadn't even reached adulthood yet! Why should it suffer the hardships of life! Li Yao watched the cat and the snake leave one after the other, and felt a sudden sense of desolation in his heart.

These days, people's hearts are scattered, and it's hard to lead a team.

He put aside his studies and continued to delve into magical knowledge. When the time came, he went upstairs to conduct alchemical experiments and then analyze spell models—he was now able to begin attempting to analyze third-circle spells.

As the most important thing,

"Flash Spell" and "Fireball Spell" are the first sequence of skills that Li Yao learned and analyzed in the third ring of spells.

Once his magic power was exhausted, Li Yao entered a meditative state...

The next morning, Li Yao woke up from his meditation. As his cultivation improved, the depth and intensity of his meditation also increased. The pressure emanating from the soul spread out during meditation, even causing weak creatures like mosquitoes to feel instinctive fear.

When he concentrates and exerts his pressure, he can truly scare an ordinary person to death.

Li Yao got up to wash up, and then practiced his Qi Refining Technique. After finishing, he didn't go downstairs to lie down, but instead packed his things and went downstairs to wait.

When we got downstairs,

Chen Xi happened to return with her sword. Seeing Li Yao's attire, she asked, "Boss, are you getting ready to go out?"

Li Yao: "Yes, I'll be back this afternoon."

Chen Xi: "Hmm~ So, are we going to eat at home?"

Just then, Li Yao's phone vibrated. He glanced at it and said, "No need, I'll just go out to eat."

He left the tavern and walked along Drum Tower Road. He bought two tea eggs and a cup of soy milk at a breakfast stall and ate them. After finishing, he hailed a car and headed to the Jiangning Suburbs, where there was an old and abandoned factory.

When they arrived at an abandoned factory, Li Yao saw two trucks parked in the warehouse of the dilapidated factory.

Beside the truck, Chen Tienan, a very burly man in a black suit, was waiting for Li Yao.

Upon seeing Li Yao enter,

Chen Tienan laughed heartily, "You're the Handsomest in This Group, right? Is this your true face this time?"

Li Yao didn't reply, but asked directly, "Did you bring everything?"

Chen Tienan: "Absolutely!"

He waved his hand, and a Heavenly King behind him placed a briefcase not far in front of Li Yao.

Chen Tienan said, "These are the equipment and money we collected in the subspace. They're all here. You can choose first."

Li Yao used the Mage Hand.

The zipper on the black handbag opened automatically, revealing its contents.

Li Yao glanced at it and saw that there was gold and various Magical Artifact, mostly weapons and armor, as well as some trinkets with special effects.

Li Yao didn't even glance at any of them!

There was no way around it; Li Yao was not only a mage, but also an alchemist! With this dual identity, he wasn't even considered one of the following players among the mages.

Li Yao withdrew his gaze and said, "I only want 20% of the gold here; the rest will be your reward." He then looked at the green pickup truck behind Chen Tienan: "Is it all here?"

Chen Tienan nodded. "That's right, they're all here."

He went to the green pickup truck and pulled off the tarpaulin covering it, revealing what was underneath—

Inside,

They were, in fact, living, breathing people!
