This Outfit Is Too Small for You

Xu Nan was quite disappointed that the trip to Icewind Territory hadn't materialized. He was still thinking of visiting Senior A-Kun at the Ten Commandments Monastery; after all, he hadn't known how Senior Kun was doing since they last parted ways.

(Voiceover: Senior A-Kun is still single-handedly clearing the pre-set multiplayer dungeon at the Demon God Monastery...)

But the matter of Awakening Power is too serious. Xu Nan must return to Earth as soon as possible. Only in this way can he enter the Azure Dreamland and find an opportunity to find out the situation.

Let's see where I've offended that angry Celestial Spirit this time!

However, on the other hand, the fact that the Ghost Lantern Society members attacked the convoy and caused panic has already made many people grateful for Evelyn's safe return, and no one has delved into the matter of Xu Nan's departure.

By the time anyone realized what was happening, Xu Nan had already sped away with Qin Lele.

In the Eastern Kingdom, even the royal family doesn't use such a high-end and sophisticated mode of transportation as the magic carpet... In fact, even in Stephenson, where wizards are everywhere, most of the poor wizards still use flying brooms that are neither very comfortable nor very stylish.

After the convoy was organized, some people even thought that there was something wrong with Cheng Song!

Although this speculation was far from the truth, there were always people who supported it. To Evelyn's surprise, neither Melinda nor Song Ying objected.

Fortunately, the Fourth Princess knew the situation well and told everyone to pack up and get going quickly, and not to think about anything else, since they were already being watched.

She solemnly swore on her own reputation that Cheng Song was absolutely innocent.

Although everyone had their doubts, Evelyn's status was undeniable, and once she spoke, they would at most murmur among themselves, but dared not openly disobey her.

The caravan, having escaped the harassment of the Long-haired Snow Monster, began their journey day and night towards Snowfield City.

After playing around on the magic carpet for a while, Qin Lele quickly fell asleep.

And yes, aside from the phrase "my humble wife," Xu Nan's offhand ramblings were mostly accurate. Qin Lele grew up in the south and had never seen ice and snow before. Although professionals are much stronger than ordinary people, this girl was a thief with a weak constitution but high charm. After walking through the snow, she immediately caught a severe cold and fever.

Xu Nan touched her forehead and it was indeed a little hot. The medical conditions in the Pro World were too backward, and Xu Nan was eager to send her back to Earth to see a doctor as soon as possible.

"I even abandoned my mission for you!"

Xu Nan sighed.

Just then, the system's Quest Card flashed.

[You've completed "White Face Also Has to be Confident," and received the highest-level reward!]

You have earned 60 Shame Points.

You have gained Infrared Vision (special ability/ Dark Elf)

[You have gained access to Linli Knowledge Retrieval (Lost Paradise Privilege) (Extra Reward)!]

Xu Nan was stunned for a moment. The highest level of reward meant that... the people in the team thought he was being taken advantage of by someone?

Evelyn?

But I'm clearly innocent with her!

In response, Xu Nan could only marvel at the incredible imagination of the working people in this other world; they truly spared no effort in helping him complete his mission!

This task brought Xu Nan one step closer to leveling up, but Xu Nan wasn't particularly concerned about the reward of Infrared Vision, since he had already learned the [Spell - Darkvision]. Of course, Infrared Vision Darkvision some advantages over Infrared Vision: it was superior in terms of stealth, as it was a special ability that didn't require special spellcasting or magical fluctuations; in terms of visual range, Infrared Vision was far superior, while Darkvision could only clearly see a small area in front of it; and in terms of combat and alertness, Infrared Vision performed admirably!

After all, this is a special ability of the Dark Elf who make a living in the Underdark. It will give them more security when they venture underground in the future.

As for the "Geographical Knowledge Retrieval" feature, it was a pleasant surprise.

Perhaps this was Xu Nan's reward for enjoying the highest level of freeloading. He took a closer look and realized it was basically a different world version of Baidu Maps!

As long as Xu Nan uses his search ability, he can quickly learn about the geographical terrain within 500 meters of Pro World.

If Xu Nan's search ranking is improved, the scope can be expanded even further.

The ability to retrieve geographical knowledge relies on Lost Paradise's detection and description of the Pro World. Of course, Xu Nan has always been very skeptical of the reliability of these sorcerers. What if he went to another world, opened a map to ask what was ahead, and the system told him it was an Underground River, but when he ran over, he found it was lava!

This is not impossible, so he remains cautious about this privilege.

It wasn't until he saw the annotation at the end: the world map of Lost Paradise was so precise, exactly the same as the Eye Plan launched by Stephenson ...

As a Ron Sorcerer, Xu Nan understood immediately.

If it's Baidu Maps produced by Stephenson, its credibility should be quite high.

Xu Nan's attitude changed to cautious optimism.

Aside from the daily tasks, the biggest benefit Xu Nan gained from this trip to another world was the successful completion of the battle.

After Xu Nan confirmed the end of the battle, the results page appeared.

[You have successfully completed this battle - the decisive battle at the Snowy Mountain Pass and its aftermath... Performance rating in progress!]

Congratulations on achieving an SS+ performance!

Xu Nan had to admit that the art style was very familiar; it had a feel of a certain side-scrolling fighting online game from over a decade ago...

He knew that if he successfully escorted Evelyn and her group to Icewind Territory, his score would be even higher. However, nothing in this world is perfect. To sacrifice an S-rank score for a higher chance of Qin Lele's safety, Xu Nan would make his choice without hesitation!

[You have received an invitation to Six-Nine Plan. Click to use it and become an elite member of Six-Nine Plan! Enjoy more privileges in Lost Paradise and have the opportunity to improve your system's capabilities!]

Xu Nan was excited to receive the invitation, but he didn't want to use it immediately; he hadn't fully exploited the month's activities yet!

Congratulations on completing your first battle with an SS+ rating! After each battle mode session, bonus rewards will be available for you to draw from Destiny Cards!

Based on your performance score and merit points, you have two chances to draw a Destiny Card!

[Tip: The Destiny Card usually represents one of the best weapons or magical items we've selected for you based on your performance in battle!]

Hmm, it's starting to resemble that game more and more...

Xu Nan randomly selected two cards from a pile of cards.

Congratulations! You have obtained the weapon - Hunter Fang Gauntlets.

Congratulations! You have obtained the treasure - Super Cross.

Xu Nan stared blankly as the two magical items fell into her hands, speechless for a long time.

To be fair, both the Hunter Fang Gauntlets and the Super Cross are excellent magical items with outstanding attributes, ranking among the top in the second-tier magical items. It's clear that the Organizing Committee of Six-Nine Plan really put their heart into it!

But the problem is...

"Give me a pair of gauntlets and a cross. Will it allow me to become a Fighter or a Blue Fist Saint?"

"What I want is a staff! A staff, you know? That thing that enhances spellcasting ability!"

Xu Nan couldn't help but let out a long roar!

Am I destined to spend my entire life using the Innocent Staff to stab people? Why is it that after handling so many magical items, there isn't a single staff I can acquire?

He goes out to a dungeon carrying Super Cross, Innocent Staff, and wearing the Hunter Fang Gauntlets, and he has the nerve to call himself a warlock...?

Xu Nan roared for a while before calming down, silently banishing these items to the back of the drawer, and choosing to exchange his merit points for a platinum treasure chest!

The battle chest did not disappoint him in the end; it not only yielded 50 Constant Gold Coin but also a strategic item!

[Elementary Freshwater Source]

[Effect: Creates a small lake within a certain area to maintain freshwater supply]

This thing can collect water elements from the air to form a source of fresh water. If it were thrown into the Underground World of the Pro World, it would probably be something that dark life forms would fight tooth and nail for.

Aside from that, let's not even mention the other miscellaneous achievements that the battle itself brought about.

It's just upsetting to even mention it.

Xu Nan did some quick calculations and realized that he didn't have a single title that he could be proud of so far!

Perhaps, the Frogman Killer counts as half?

Xu Nan and Qin Lele only rested for one night at the Fierce Horse Inn before rushing back to the Floating City Yu Tuo Sang.

In recent days, Yu Tuo Sang has obviously undergone a complete transformation... Xu Nan was referring to the cleaning aspect.

When Xu Nan first arrived, Yu Tuo Sang covered in cobwebs as if it hadn't been there for a thousand years. Now, at least the cleaning lady in front of him is doing a good job, and the whole city finally looks like it has a cleaner. Xu Nan was moved to tears.

"It's you! How dare you come back?"

The cleaning lady, Sherry, glared indignantly at Xu Nan: "Do you even know...?"

Xu Nan carried Qin Lele into the city.

"Sorry, I don't have time to know, and I don't want to know."

The cleaning lady was trembling with anger. "You ran away, why did you come back?"

Deep down, she still held a tiny bit of hope that Xu Nan had a change of heart and came back to save Yu Tuo Sang!

After all, she had only recently realized that without Xu Nan, Yu Tuo Sang, who had reappeared before the world, simply didn't know how to survive. Just dealing with those petty thieves who roamed the city walls, attempting to break in using the most basic wall-climbing techniques, was enough to give her a headache.

As for Xu Nan, although he was despicable, at least when he was the city lord, these petty thieves were not a problem at all.

When she saw Xu Nan appear, she was secretly pleased, thinking that since Xu Nan had returned, he was just being stubborn and wanted a way out.

So she forced herself to soften her tone:

"If... and I mean if, you sincerely apologize, the Wizard King's appointment will still be valid, and you... will still be the city lord."

Xu Nan declared matter-of-factly, "Of course I'm the city lord!"

Sherry was overjoyed, and Gao Xin almost wanted to ram her with the ball. "You promised to come back?"

Xu Nan opened a large door as she walked, strolled over, and then waved:

"No."

"Have you forgotten that even if I'm no longer the lord of Yutuo Sang Plus, half of this city still belongs to me!"

"By the way, if you have some free time later, could you help tidy up our place too? Thanks. You know, these mercenaries are all big and burly; they're really not cut out for cleaning work..."

Sherry was trembling with anger. With a bang, the bronze gate slammed shut, and Xu Nan went to the High-imitation Floating City.

She was just about to leave when the door opened again, revealing Xu Nan's head.

"By the way, Sherry, there's something I need to tell you."

Sherry was secretly pleased. In the end, he was finally being given a way out, wasn't he? This man, apart from being a bit stubborn, wasn't actually that bad.

"This dress is too good for you, really..."

Xu Nan glanced at it twice and earnestly advised, "It must be so tiring for you to wear this. I suggest you try a larger size..."

Sherry's broom came crashing down on her. Her face flushed red, and she instinctively clutched her chest, when suddenly she heard a tearing sound of clothes ripping behind her.

The air was still.

Sherry felt wronged and wanted to cry.

Xu Nan, however, came over carrying a broom, comforted her without holding a grudge, and then handed her a business card.

"I'm a well-known tailor on Earth. If you need any custom-made clothing, feel free to contact me anytime!"

He glanced at his soon-to-be-upgraded tailoring experience and showed an expectant look.

...!
