Secondly, we can rule out the possibility of going to the wrong room. There's such a big "Latis" sign on its own door, and the little bird isn't as stupid as Serfal.
Let's eliminate more... never mind, no need to eliminate any more.
Latis looked at the little bird peeking out from the doorway in its soft pajamas and sighed helplessly.
This little guy really did come to ambush him at night.
Chapter 332 The Robin is Still Outputting
"Hey, big brother, your arms are so strong..."
Latis looked at the robin beside him, who was using his arm as a pillow, completely bewildered, and couldn't help but complain:
"You little rascal, if you keep saying these weird things, go back to your room and sleep!"
"do not do it!"
The robin looked up at Latis, blinked, and then buried its head in his shoulder. Not only that, but its slender legs also instinctively wrapped around his forearm.
The little bird was no longer wearing pantyhose at night. Under her nightgown, her soft legs, like the texture of silk, smoothly brushed against Latis's arm. In that breathtaking touch, Latis's heart beat slightly faster for a moment.
He instinctively tried to pull his arm away, but it slipped deeper under the smooth, tight grip, and slammed against the bird's loose pumpkin pants.
"I'm super!"
Latis was startled and quickly controlled his movements, stiffening as he said:
"Little bird, um, let go of me first..."
He was about to explain his request by changing his posture, but when he saw the robin's bewildered expression as it raised its head, he froze in place.
"What's wrong, brother?"
"……nothing."
Latis answered instinctively, and after a few seconds, he sighed helplessly and lay his head back on the pillow.
"Oh well, the little bird doesn't understand anything anyway, let her do as she pleases."
He raised his free hand and rested it behind his head, looking at the dark ceiling as he began to think about his next plan.
There are still seven days until the arrival of the newly appointed noble examiner, Carter Sham. This time is neither long nor short, and he can already do a lot during this period.
The first step is to consume all the dragon crystals. In the simulation, this process took about half a week, and it will probably be about the same in reality. Then, go to the Titan Palace and drink a bottle of "Great-Grandma's Magic Potion". With the simulator's boost to the warrior's level, I should be able to reach the legendary level, which will be just right for taking over the palace.
After taking over the palace, you can summon a new floating island and move the palace there as well. This way, you only need to go out once, saving you the trouble of traveling back and forth.
As for curing Serfal's mental disability, although it's not urgent, let's finish it in the meantime. However, we can't mention dragon crystals to her this time, lest she suddenly think it's some kind of fantasy world...
This time, I won't go out of my way to tell Lady Oriana about my special plans. It's hard to explain how my strength has suddenly increased so much. If that's the case, even Oriana might not be sure that the Latis Titania I'm impersonating is really me. In this way, it will only highlight the mystery of my new identity.
At that time, he might not even need to give up his original identity as Latis, since no one would associate a third-year academy mage with a legendary warrior who owns a floating island.
The girls under the leadership of Mage Herod can now move around normally. Latis has anticipated various possible future situations and may even be able to rely on the girls' strength in some aspects.
Oh right, there seems to be something coming up in the near future.
Latis stroked his chin, recalling the simulated memories of Kambinash from the Witch God's Guild. She seemed to have set off from the Southeast Continent immediately after he uploaded "Mage's Poisonous Hand." Judging by the timeline, she should arrive near Lundia in a few days. He wondered how she would evade the magic network's expulsion of necromantic magic...
It's hard to estimate the exact time. Latis himself certainly couldn't keep wandering around looking for this lone necromancer, but he instantly thought of someone—Yashutia.
This guy recently brought back a batch of necromancy materials from near the Tendrils, and I haven't even had a chance to practice them yet. I wonder if she'll be a little unhappy about sending me out to find people again...
Fine, if she's unhappy, I'll just grant her some of her requests. Judging from her writing requirements, which include "training and indoctrination with my older brother that goes beyond the limits of physical endurance," this girl is definitely suffering from repressed sexual desire...
Latis sighed helplessly.
Although my relationships with each girl naturally became closer, I was quite busy during this period, so I couldn't make any real progress in those relationships.
Will they be so busy that they can't stand it anymore and grab me to instantly melt into a deep, intimate embrace?
...It's not impossible.
Latis suddenly remembered that he had a title ability called "Good Times," which could rapidly increase magic power during intimate moments. He realized he was still too innocent and hadn't used it for so long.
Thinking of this, he opened the simulation panel to check his current achievement bonuses.
【位面探索者：魔力总量加成182%（雅特兰蒂克10%、骨灵界15%、大海洋世界77%、泰瑞世界80%）】
【文明寻访者：技能强度加成270%（精灵族2%、泰坦族30%、骨灵族88%、舰种人族67%、方块人族83%）】
[Laszczukic Gold Medal Third Place: Physical Strength Bonus 140% (Atherivis, Jennifer, Robin, Athena, Serfal, Silver Hugh, Thursday, Future, Meownubis, Pallas, Muzhi, Seren, Sea Moon, Bluebell)]
[Corpse Lover: Necromancer Magic Control 5% (Bone Spirit Affinity 5%)]
【第三个奇闻：技能范围加成225%（雅特兰蒂克5%、骨灵界30%、大海洋世界100%、泰瑞世界90%）】
【星星之火：魔素亲和度加成206%（雅特兰蒂克1%、骨灵界10%、大海洋世界100%、泰瑞世界95%）】
"Without realizing it, I've become someone so many girls trust..."
Latis's gaze swept over the achievement entry for "Latis's Golden Third Place," and he couldn't help but feel a surge of emotions.
Although he didn't flirt with girls like a repressed womanizer, he gradually gained many female confidantes along the way. Indeed, if you want to win someone's favor, you still have to overcome difficulties with your own strength. Only then will you naturally win the favor of girls.
After silently performing some calculations, Latis roughly understood his current true strength.
His total magic power is equivalent to that of a mage in the early stages of the fifth ring, his skill strength is comparable to that of a mage in the mid-to-late stages of the fifth ring, and his physical strength is comparable to that of a level six warrior. His control over necromantic magic is currently not very useful, but his skill range is uniquely powerful. Even if a normal high-level mage maxes out their proficiency in ranged enchanting, they won't be much better than him.
The most important thing is the bonus to magic affinity.
If Arte was able to perceive fragments of simulated experiences because of the connection between her true name and soul, coupled with her high affinity for magic essence, then Queen Whiteley… no, Queen Cindy was able to perceive the flow of spacetime so easily simply because she had a resonance with the essence of the world that she could not imagine, thanks to her 500% affinity for magic essence.
Even in the simulation, the Queen can discern the power of the spacetime flow and interfere with and invade it, something even the old dragons of the Dragon Nest cannot do... However, dragons are generally not known for their affinity with magic.
Latis pondered for a moment, then looked at the achievement "Spark" again.
The condition for boosting magic affinity is the number of people in each world who benefit from it, which does require a certain level of moral character, but I don't usually do anything evil...
In fact, the act of overcoming difficulties encountered in each dimension itself will benefit the local people. Even without deliberately becoming a "compassionate and merciful Guanyin Bodhisattva who saves people from suffering," it is enough to receive a high bonus.
but……
He looked at the numbers representing the percentage increases and frowned slightly.
It seems that the enhancements in each dimension have undergone some subtle changes... Is it just my imagination?
Latis recalled the specific numbers he had seen when he first saw the achievement and realized that they did seem to have changed.
Could it be that after I leave this dimensional journey, the positive impact that Thursday, Meownubis, and Seren have on their respective dimensions will also be attributed to me?
"hiss……"
Latis couldn't help but gasp. It seemed that the significance of this achievement was truly as its name suggested: a spark... He had only briefly passed through each plane like a flame, but the legacy he left behind was what truly benefited those planes.
So, in the next journey through the worlds, I might have to think a little more about things. But that's fine too. As a real man, when I come to a place, I should leave my mark!
Latis chuckled and closed the simulation panel.
……
"...brother?"
Suddenly, the soft, melodious chirping of a robin came from behind. Latis felt a soft little hand gently poke his face, then rest it on his pectoral muscles.
"What's wrong?" Latis asked, amused. The little bird had been clinging to his hand for over an hour. In his previous life, she would probably have been dubbed the "Pillow Princess." Although she had come to ambush him at night, she was surprisingly quiet.
"Big brother isn't asleep yet..."
The little hand clumsily touched Latis's face. After a long silence, the robin pressed its head against Latis's shoulder and whispered:
"Big brother, don't you think I'm weird?"
"Huh?" Latis turned to look at the robin and asked curiously:
"No way, why would you ask that?"
“It’s just a feeling…” The robin sighed softly, nuzzled Latis’s shoulder with its cheek, and said, “I feel like I’ve changed a lot these past few days…”
"Change...?"
Latis pondered for a moment, recalling the robin's behavior. It seemed that the bird had indeed become very clingy after that intense confession... However, Latis didn't think it was a bad thing. It wasn't that he was looking forward to being attacked at night, but he felt that the little bird used to keep a lot of things to itself, while the little bird now seemed to be opening up a bit.
And... it seems like she won't be able to transform into a steampunk princess anymore.
Latis smiled inwardly and said:
"Change isn't necessarily a bad thing, is it? Even though learning to express yourself will inevitably bring some unease, it's always a good thing for us to see your heart... Think about it, if we understand you better, wouldn't we support you more? When you need strength on your own, you'll know that our big family will always be your support."
"Big brother, what you're saying sounds so complicated!"
The robin was startled, then fell silent for a moment, gently biting Latis's shoulder and whispering:
"I understand, but that's not what I meant..."
"Ok?"
Latis frowned, unable to fathom the little girl's thoughts for a moment.
He looked down at the small head resting on his shoulder, and met those deep, dark eyes amidst the soft, light brown hair spread out on the bed.
Latis suddenly recalled the first time he met the robin, the cold and silent death in her lifeless eyes. If he hadn't taken her with him then, where would she be now?
The robin blinked. In this eye contact, she didn't feel shy like others. Or rather, the reason she used to easily transform into a steampunk princess was because she was afraid that her heart would become too turbulent under the touch of the person she liked. But now, she was no longer afraid of those things.
So she gazed adoringly into Latis's eyes and whispered:
"Big brother, I like you so much..."
“I know.” Latis couldn’t help but laugh, pulling his hand from behind his head and tapping the robin’s head.
"I like you too, little bird."
"Oh dear, I haven't finished yet!"
A blush crept onto the robin's delicate face. Although shyness was welling up inside her, she didn't look away. Instead, she gazed at him, gave a silly smile, and then whispered:
"Big brother, actually I can already sense your affection a little bit. Hmm... not in your words or actions, but in a feeling that my bloodline ability tells me. I think this might be an ability that came with my differentiation..."
"I'm very happy."
She closed her eyes slightly, gently inhaled Latis's scent, and said with a smile:
"But is this happiness the happiness of gaining power, or the happiness of confirming that my older brother truly likes me? I guess it's both. Although it's both, I still want to place all this happiness on your affection for me, because my older brother is the most lovable person I've ever met in my life..."
The robin clung to Latis's arm, instinctively reaching out to stroke his chin and lips, then chuckled and whispered:
