Then, with a ding, Li Wei's right index fingernail extended and pierced into Liu Yiqiang's arm.
The next second, Liu Yiqiang was enveloped in white light, and something that looked like lightning flashed around him.
"I've injected you with nano-hormones, go for it."
PS: I just realized that the experience gained from fostering shikigami doesn't accumulate and can't be used to feed a single shikigami. No matter how much experience you accumulate, it's all for nothing. And... when I was harvesting experience just now, I found that the fostered white eggs didn't gain any experience at all; they were all fed to the shikigami I fostered before, which are now already max level... Anyway, here's a picture.
P.S.: Aaaaaaahhhhhh—I need some comfort, damn it… all this experience wasted! Aaaaaahhhhhh!
PSP: This chapter... is so hard to write, damn it, let's take a break and design the plot. But I guess it'll be finished in a dozen or so chapters at most...
PSV: ...I casually wrote this PS out of a mischievous urge, but I didn't expect to have anything to say about it...orz
Chapter 119 This sword is too ugly, don't want it.
After Liu Yiqiang was enhanced by Li Wei, he was taken by the guards to a nearby area.
There were tethered there, with dragons at least four or five meters high and seven or eight meters long.
Even Kong Se, whose strength was usually enough to rival even a typical second-year student, was torn to pieces in just a few moves after facing Liu Yiqiang.
Upon seeing this scene, Kong Se couldn't help but glance at Liu Yiqiang, who was enveloped in white light and crackling with white electricity, and then at Li Wei, his expression as varied as could be.
"Alright, now that you've passed the test, you can go in."
The guard waved his hand and went back to his post without expression.
The four men exchanged glances, and sure enough, no one stopped them from entering the city.
The scene in the city surprised Kong Se a little. It wasn't that it was particularly bizarre or strange... but rather that it was so normal that she could hardly believe it.
Since it's almost identical to a regular city, barring any unforeseen circumstances, it should be Springwood City, where the Holy Grail War is being held.
"Could it be that this hybrid version is just a combination of elements from the newbie village outside?"
Kongse couldn't help but guess, "Now that we've passed the beginner village, the start should be the same as a normal F/Z dungeon?"
Thinking of this, Kongse's eyes lit up.
In a normal Holy Grail War instance, prioritizing encounters with story characters definitely provides an advantage.
The graduation mission in the beginner village was also completed so quickly thanks to her speed; she had to work herself to the bone to finish it.
If it were any other student, it would probably take a long time to catch up, but I'm confident in my abilities.
They are definitely among the first to arrive at the real Holy Grail War instance.
"Qi Xi, let's hurry and find Shirou!"
"why?"
Seeing that Qi Xi seemed not to have reacted yet, Kong Se immediately explained:
"Look, doesn't this look a lot like a regular Holy Grail dungeon? If I'm not mistaken, this dungeon should become normal after we get through the beginner village."
"Otherwise, this city wouldn't be so normal. It would be a complete mess, just like a newbie village."
"Once we find Shirou, we can latch onto Saber's coattails!"
In the original Holy Grail anime, the strongest character is Saber, who is King Arthur and the King of Heroes. Leaving aside the arrogant King of Heroes, Saber is definitely the best choice to carry the team.
However, upon hearing Kong Se's words, Qi Xi asked with a strange expression, "You... how do you see that this city is normal?"
"Huh? Isn't that right?" Sora asked, somewhat puzzled.
Then, she looked in the direction Qi Xi pointed and saw a sign standing there:
The Holy Grail War is about to begin. Citizens, please take cover and avoid being accidentally injured. The address of the Mage's Association is: 221 Baker Street... Completing the tasks given by the Association will reward you with varying amounts of Noble Phantasms.
Special Note! In the Holy Grail War, indiscriminate killing of innocent people is strictly prohibited. Anyone found doing so will be hunted down by the entire Mage's Association, including but not limited to Ayaka Sajō!
Upon seeing this sign, Kongse froze.
Damn, what normal Holy Grail War story would so openly and publicly reveal the Holy Grail War to the whole world?
Moreover, it seems we can't cause too much damage, otherwise if Ai Ge comes, I guess only I can escape if I run fast enough, but Xiao Qiang and Qi Xi will probably die!
As for Li Wei... who cares if he lives or dies! Humph!
"Could it be that even Gudako will appear then...?"
Thinking of this, Kongse felt a chill run down her spine.
Even without Gudako, Ayaka Sajou alone is an existence that defies the heavens, a terrifying magician who was connected to the "Root" from birth.
If I encounter Gudako and Aika in the Holy Grail, how can I survive?! Urgent!
Shaking her head, Sora calmed herself down. This was, after all, a dungeon the academy was setting up to select the strongest. How could people like Gudako and Aika just appear out of nowhere?
When Kong Se came to her senses, she found that Li Wei and the other two had already walked away again.
"Wait for me!"
Sora quickly ran up and complained, "Why are you walking so fast? Since this isn't a normal Holy Grail instance, we probably won't even be able to get on Saber's good side."
Li Wei scoffed, "Who said we were going to suck up to someone powerful?"
Qi Xi held up a sign:
The master himself was as thick as a thigh.
"If you weren't trying to curry favor with someone powerful, what were you doing there?" Kongse asked curiously.
"Do you understand the concept of uncovering hidden quests?"
Kongse's eyes lit up upon hearing this. "That's right! If it's like a beginner's village, similar to an online game, then there will definitely be hidden quests."
However, Kongse shook his head again. If the graduation quest in the newbie village is so hard to find, wouldn't it be even more difficult to discover hidden quests after leaving the newbie village?
You should know that the fact that everyone was able to graduate from the beginner village was basically thanks to her.
Without her, Kongse would probably have spent her entire life stuck in the beginner village relying on Li Wei and the other two, and would never have been able to get out so quickly.
Li Wei pointed at Kong Se and said to Qi Xi, "What is she doing now?"
Qi Xi sighed, "I guess it's because spring is coming soon, which reminds her of that youthful arrogance when she really got involved and caused all sorts of trouble."
"I see. No wonder you run so fast. So that's how you train."
Li Wei suddenly realized.
Qi Xi's eyes lit up. "Master, shall we practice too? Even just a little bit of skill can surpass the speed of light!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Qi Xi covered her forehead, which had been flicked by Li Wei, and huffed angrily.
"Let's go, ignore her."
"Ah! You're trying to abandon me again!"
Kongse regained her senses quickly this time.
"Listen to me, hidden quests are very difficult to trigger. Without enough luck, no matter how hard you try..."
"Ahhhh-"
Seeing that Li Wei and the others had no intention of listening to her, Kong Se left in a huff.
"Do whatever you want!"
That being said, since Li Wei and the others have decided to look for hidden quests, Kong Se can't just sit idly by.
Her idea was simple: among everyone, she was the fastest. In other words, she could rely on this speed to have more opportunities to meet more NPCs, which would increase her chances of finding a quest.
Three days later——
Kong Se returned looking haggard, walking with her back bent at almost a 90-degree angle.
"It's all a lie, a complete lie! There's no such thing as a hidden quest, hahaha, it's all a lie!"
"If I can't find it, then they certainly can't..."
Just then, Kongse suddenly heard a sound coming from the small shop next door.
"I told you, this thing looks like the kind of dildo women use to masturbate. What would a grown man like me want with it?"
"You're insulting me, I'm telling you."
"No, no, please don't give me this piece of junk again."
"I don't care if it's called the Heaven-Creating Sword or the Spring-Surging Staff, I just don't want it, so get out of here."
Empty color: "..."
P.S.: This picture was posted in the group chat by some experts, and I suddenly remembered it, so I wanted to show it to you guys.
Chapter 120 The Making of a Good Daughter Begins with Educational Films
"What? You're saying this carriage is a powerful Noble Phantasm? Made by the King of Conquerors?"
"No, no, what era are we living in? Why are we still using horse-drawn carriages?"
"A demonic spear that can reverse cause and effect? Once it's thrust out, it will pierce the opponent's heart? The 'effect' of hitting the heart determines the 'cause' of swinging the spear to attack?"
"That's unscientific! What you're saying is completely unscientific. As a successor to socialism, I will never believe in such mystical things. Long live science!"
"Gan Jiang and Mo Xie? No, no!"
……
"Alright, what kind of lousy shop is this? You keep stuffing this junk into my hands. Are you running a pyramid scheme? You wait, I'm going to the association right now to expose you."
The above is the scene outside, where Kongse hears the conversations coming from the small shop.
"No, I'm just imagining things. How could a bastard like Li Wei be one of those wicked Europeans?"
Should I go and comfort him later?
At this point, Kongse felt that doing this was too inhumane. After all, he was a European, and he was provoking someone like this. He guessed that Li Wei would die of a heart attack on the way back from hunting after hearing what he said.
"Oh, poor Li Wei, another one has gone mad."
Kongse sighed deeply, and then...
With a thud, he collapsed to the ground, utterly exhausted.
At that moment, Kongse seemed to see Xiaoqiang, who was already in heaven, waving to her...
Oh no... am I beyond saving...?
--------------
Dark Night was a participant in this Holy Grail War. Two players were eliminated as soon as the Holy Grail War dungeon began, which had some impact on him. However, after he completed the Servant summoning, he gained a lot of confidence in himself.
The confidence to save one's life.
Unlike a normal summoning, he didn't summon a specific Servant; instead, he acquired the Servant's abilities.
Yes, he acquired the Assassin class and received a significant boost in stealth capabilities.
He wasn't originally a combat-oriented student, so this enhancement has greatly amplified his strengths.
His superpower is teleportation, which involves space and is undoubtedly a very powerful ability, so it is natural that it also has considerable limitations.
However, if used properly, it can be an excellent way to save your life.
A few days after Li Wei and his group left the beginner village, An Ye also arrived at the place where Li Wei and his group were.
At this moment, he is using his supernatural abilities to conduct a covert operation, intending to gather intelligence on his opponent.
In a typical Holy Grail War, he might not have much of a chance, since combat isn't his forte. But since this isn't a traditional Holy Grail War, he's not afraid and will naturally try his best to secure a spot in the battle.
"Hmm? There's a noise over there?"
Suddenly, from a rooftop in the dark, a lively sound came from somewhere, and it sounded quite familiar.
Thinking of this, Dark Night's heart stirred. If he wasn't mistaken, they must be students from the same S class.
Therefore, he used teleportation towards the building.
Meanwhile, an empty apple core was thrown down from the building.
At the moment the dark powers ended—
