He's Too Fast!
After it's over.
"Your skills are very proficient."
Shar praised with satisfaction:
"I have never seen Martial Artist like you. Those guys in the New District who call themselves Martial Artist can't do what you do."
"Sixth Sense: The sorceress Shar has developed a strong liking for you."
Upon seeing this.
Roger, who originally intended to maintain his "Frivolous Martial Artist Youth" persona, changed his mind.
He immediately responded with a cold expression:
"This is a skill honed over many years, far superior to the amateurish techniques of others."
His words were full of pride, but also carried a sense of keeping people at arm's length.
Women will only affect his monster-killing efficiency!
Especially female sorcerers! They must be resolutely resisted! Shar nodded as if she understood. "My butler will take you to get a Temporary Pass."
"In addition, how about raising your hourly wage to 400 Copper Coin per hour?"
Roger nodded.
At that moment, the stern-faced middle-aged housekeeper appeared out of nowhere, led Roger through the buildings on Floating Island 4 for a while, and completed the procedures for the Temporary Pass.
Those holding a "Temporary Pass" can freely enter and exit the floating island during the day, but are not allowed to stay at night.
So after treating Shar...
Roger still had to catch the next pontoon to Sunrise Town.
I'm starting to feel like a working-class person.
Over the next six days.
Roger worked as a doorman for Shar during the day and stayed at the Scavenger Inn at night.
I'll visit my younger brothers occasionally.
Life was quite fulfilling.
During the treatment process.
The advantages of Qi Master are also fully demonstrated.
"Qi" is inherently a versatile substance that can be used for offense, defense, and healing.
However, only Qi Master can release a small amount of Qi into a space of about 3 to 5 centimeters outside the three orifices when only the three orifices are open.
The profession of Qi Master also provides additional Qi bonuses.
This satisfied Shar's strong need.
To be honest, Roger was also exhausted and covered in sweat after each day of treatment.
If it weren't for the two amazing foods that came with it last night, I wouldn't have been able to replenish my body in time.
He was afraid that Shar would drain him dry! Even so, on the afternoon of the sixth day, he still asked Shar to leave for a while.
This greatly disappointed Shar.
However, her hip pain had been greatly relieved, and she finally agreed to Roger's request for leave.
Shar told Roger.
When he comes back, she will prepare a surprise for him.
Whether it was surprise or shock, they couldn't care less.
After leaving the floating island.
Roger, eager to return home, led his men back to the Red Soil Wasteland.
Another round of searching for ants has begun.
One month later.
The number of Titan Ant that died at Roger's hands successfully exceeded forty million.
The number of "Steel Supplement" has also increased from more than 100 to more than 500.
The progress bar had only scrolled to about halfway.
If possible.
He really wanted to just keep grinding through the wasteland.
Screw those female warlocks!
But Shar was chosen by Roger as a springboard to settle on the floating island.
Only by having a legitimate identity on the floating island can one better study "Aether Dragon Eater".
Gem City isn't Paramount Manor, so Roger can go all out.
Above the floating island lies the Truth Society, the stronghold of the mages!
He must be extremely cautious!
He really wanted to develop.
But the premise is that things must remain stable.
So, a month later...
Holding his expired Temporary Pass, Roger once again boarded the floating boat bound for Floating Island 4.
"My hip has missed you so much!"
Shar gently patted her waist and hips, her eyes full of resentment. "These days without you, every night has been hard for me."
Roger waved for her to lie down.
Luck began to heal her.
Shar's illness cannot be cured in a day or two.
The effect of qi is merely to alleviate the symptoms.
During the treatment process.
With his keen Sixth Sense, he noticed that Shar's body was starting to act strangely.
This forced Roger to shut down his Sixth Sense in order to maintain a high level of focus.
This is the downside of many superhuman abilities.
For example, Sixth Sense.
This thing is powerful, but its overly keen senses can also attract trouble.
these days.
Roger heard whispers from the void more than once.
Several abnormally frequencyed sounds tried to invade his mind.
It was a bunch of evil gods, Ancient Evil, or other random things "requesting to initiate a private chat" with him.
Roger refused them all.
It's not time to be on friendly terms with these idiots yet.
But he believed.
He will develop to that point.
One hour later.
A radiant Shar emerged from the physiotherapy room.
Roger, who looked somewhat haggard, followed behind.
"A Ba, your skill is enough to establish yourself on the floating island."
Shar's voice was very gentle. "Many ladies I know have similar problems, but I won't recommend you to them. I hope you can become my personal masseuse."
"As for the salary, you don't need to worry about it."
"I'm probably one of the richest people on the floating island."
Roger had no idea about this, and just nodded blankly.
Shar smiled and waved to the middle-aged housekeeper who had been nowhere to be seen before. The housekeeper handed Roger a thin letter.
This is the surprise that Shar mentioned earlier.
"An invitation to an honorary duel from the Yu Song Family?"
Roger read it aloud.
"Most people can't get a letter of recommendation from me."
"But even if I personally recommend you, you will still need to beat other competitors to qualify for a permanent residence on the floating island."
"This is a rule set by the Truth Society," Shar explained.
"If you can win the first three rounds, you can officially join our ' Yu Song Family '."
Roger nodded silently.
Two days later.
Floating Island 4.
The Yu Song Family Duel Arena.
Men and women dressed in fine clothes walked among the separate small dueling arenas.
In each small duel arena.
Fully armed Adventurers were fighting and killing each other.
The onlookers were thoroughly enjoying the spectacle.
The Yu Song Family opened betting pools specifically for this purpose, and each popular dueling arena was surrounded by many official residents of the floating islands.
The direction closest to the exit.
The sorceress Shar hurried along.
Suddenly, she was stopped by five or six women.
Those are the socialites from Floating Island 4.
Shar was on good terms with them, so she naturally went over to say hello.
"This month's honor duels don't seem very interesting."
A wealthy woman with her arms crossed commented indifferently:
"They are all backup candidates who were eliminated in the previous round, vying for the last spot."
"I don't even have the desire to place a bet!"
The others readily agreed.
Shar chimed in, "Wen Sa Madam is absolutely right. That's why I'm about to leave."
Suddenly.
A freckled girl asked:
"Sister Shar, didn't you also recommend someone?"
"I remember you rarely recommend people, right?"
How is he now?
The other women immediately looked over curiously.
Shar's face changed, and she stomped her foot in anger. "He was too fast!"
"Before I could even place my bet, he had already taken down all 11 of his opponents!"
Yu Song.
A quiet, secluded coffee shop.
"First of all, congratulations on becoming a member of the ' Yu Song Family.' You will enjoy a range of rights, including residing on Floating Island 4, purchasing property, learning, and engaging in business. There aren't many obligations; they're detailed in the booklet you have. Go back and read it."
"Secondly, you have to compensate me for my losses."
Today, Shar wore a long black dress adorned with hundreds of sparkling single diamonds.
A bright red velvet shawl draped lazily over her chest, complementing her lip color and making her look extra alluring.
No compensation.
Roger shook his head quickly. "No money."
Shar chuckled, then crossed her legs:
"According to family rules, as the recommender, I should introduce you to the rules of the floating island."
"But I don't have much experience."
"Why don't you ask me and I'll answer?"
Roger glanced at the chubby little thing on the table. "What's this?"
Shar frowned slightly. "Aether Dragon Eater, pests that Flooding Disaster on the floating islands."
This bug is not only Spell Resistance, but also has extremely high defense; it cannot be killed by normal attacks.
Ever since the massive earthquake that struck the Ruins Area beneath the floating island six months ago, these insects have been emerging endlessly.
We cannot eradicate them at their source because the Aether Dragon Eater are untraceable.
Roger nodded inwardly, but said with utter astonishment:
"High Spell Resistance and defense, yet it can't be tracked?"
"Are there really monsters this perfect?"
Shar glanced at him in surprise and chuckled, "A Ba, you're quite sensitive."
"The matter of ' Aether Dragon Eater ' is very complicated. The information I can secretly reveal to you is that this kind of monster is not naturally formed..."
"Don't ask too many other questions. Just remember not to plant Xiang Nan Tree around the residence, Aether Dragon Eater love camphor trees the most."
Roger agreed repeatedly and then remembered the Xiang Nan Tree vividly.
Next.
The two chatted about other things, and then politely declined Shar's further invitations.
Roger left the floating island.
The next day.
He began to work on a series of procedures to settle on the floating island.
One week later.
In the outer ring area of Floating Island 4, near an extremely remote forest farm, a three-story detached villa has sprung up.
The family mage responsible for solidifying the "Weak Space Magic Array" was seen off.
Roger breathed a sigh of relief.
The reason for choosing this location to build the house is because there is a thousand-year-old Xiang Nan Tree deep in the forest.
Because of its extreme age, the monks of the Yu Song Family were reluctant to cut it down.
Anyway, this area is sparsely populated, so it doesn't really matter.
It's understandable that Roger, as a Martial Artist, would prefer seclusion and nature.
Everything was so reasonable.
That night.
Roger secretly went to take a look near the Xiang Nan Tree.
Countless Aether Dragon Eater covered the ancient Xiang Nan Tree.
Roger's Sixth Sense told him.
The Xiang Nan Tree is in great pain!
But he restrained his urge to make a move.
He spent a full half-month observing the trajectory of Floating Island 4 and the observation range of the "Eye of Surveillance" on Truth Mountain.
On the 20th night after settling on the floating island.
Under the premise of ensuring that absolutely no one knows about it.
Roger made his move! He drank a bottle of "Steel Supplement" and, with the aid of "Copper Skin Iron Bones," rushed to the Xiang Nan Tree.
Hand rises, palm falls!
Under the precise and elegant slapping of the Shattering Palm.
Large swaths of Aether Dragon Eater carcasses fell to the ground.
More Aether Dragon Eater began attacking Roger.
At this point, the mask and goggles he had worn beforehand came in handy.
Some Aether Dragon Eater are even more outrageous.
It actually crawled into Roger's belt! What a pity.
They missed their target.
"My Black Tiger Master's technique of Shrinking Yang Into Abdomen is not just a name without substance."
Roger let out a long laugh.
The Shattering Palm technique became even more ferocious!...
"You have killed 1 Aether Dragon Eater, bringing your total number of Aether Dragon Eater killed to 260."
You have gained 1 XP point.
"Your reaction speed has improved slightly."
"Sixth Sense: You have earned the gratitude of the Xiang Nan Tree."
"Sixth Sense: The Xiang Nan Tree seems to want to give you a gift."
