Chapter 5: The Princess of the Blood Clan? Haha, can you please satisfy me?

Thinking back to the time when Li Cheng stayed up all night studying the story line of Latania, he thought that this vampire princess would give him some powerful spells and equipment in the end.

In the end, the only thing you get is a magic toy that has a 100% chance of hitting you.

He thought there was something wrong with some step, so he opened a new file and tried the strategy countless times.

The final result did not bring any surprises.

If Latania's portrait wasn't really pretty, her model was really big enough, and she didn't have the ultimate contrast of a dignified young lady on the outside but a naturally socially anxious person on the inside, her popularity would probably be much lower than that of several other female NPCs.

After all, sexiness and cuteness are worthless in the face of strength.

At least that's the case for Li Cheng.

But now, with the [Merciful Evil Smile], everything has changed.

Her originally abstract magic became a real divine skill due to the effect of [Merciful Evil Smile] that hit the enemy's face 100%.

High power, low mana consumption, with various special effects, and immune to magic ban.

This is the most powerful style developed by Li Cheng—the crooked-mouthed magic style.

The only problem is that he has to smile crookedly all the time, which makes him deserve a beating.

Lilith urged, "Okay, let's hurry up and get out. The patrolling guards will be here soon!"

"I'm telling you, don't even think about fighting the Abyss Dancer. She's not an enemy you can handle. There's too much of a gap in your strength. You'll die! Just listen to me. Stay safe for a while. When you're at a higher level, you can..."

Li Cheng raised his eyebrows: "Knowing that the patrol was coming, why didn't you help me stand guard outside?"

Lilith was stunned: "What did you say? You asked me to stand guard?"

Li Cheng spread his hands: "Yeah, no one can see you anyway."

Lilith: "No, I'm a goddess, how could you let me--"

Li Cheng shook his head and interrupted directly: "You don't want your savior to lose his life, do you?"

Lilith:? ? ?

Are you sure you should say this line?

It's the Tiangang again, right?
Wait, why did I say that again?

Forget it, he is sick, he is sick, I won’t bother with him... Lilith took two deep breaths and floated out of the prison with a look of despair on her face.

A savior who has never experienced hardships cannot realize the importance of the goddess.

Only after failing once can Li Cheng grow up.

Lilith smiled again. She had already imagined Li Cheng hugging her thighs and crying.

The chattering sound in his ears finally died down, and Li Cheng opened the prison door.

The prisoners who had just mocked him instantly huddled together and trembled.

I was afraid of angering this god of death and falling into the infinite hell of the transformer.

Li Cheng didn't even look at them.

All his attention was on Latanya.

The vampire princess raised her eyes, then lowered them again.

The long black hair fell from the hood, the two ruby-like eyes were calm, and the cheeks covered by dust could vaguely make out the mixed-race face.

The aristocratic temperament in her every frown and smile is as if she is not imprisoned, but is leisurely drinking afternoon tea.

Of course, this is how other people see Latania.

Li Cheng knew very well that this guy was a typical socially anxious person and a natural fool. He was in a serious state of confusion at the moment. The look in his eyes was not coldness, but clear stupidity.

According to the process, the next three side quests to complete are to find her staff, her robe, and her lost shoes.

The difficulty of the three tasks is not low. You need to defeat three LV18 elite monsters, one of which is a famous novice shield counter teacher.

Of course, this is what normal players do.

However, Li Cheng took the evil path of fast communication.

Before the Quantum Technology test, he was told that the immersive game cabin version of "Destiny Rising" has a degree of freedom that exceeds that of any other game, and has an AI that is no different from a real person.

The conditions have been met.

It's time to set a new speedrun record.

Li Cheng patted his face, changing his expression from dull and dead eyes to a lively one, just like the big brother next door.

"Hello, Miss Latanya."

"You... recognize me?" Latania lowered her head and pulled her tender feet that were exposed outside her robe inside.

"Yes, I came here specifically to save you." Li Cheng smiled gently.

"Save me? Teacher Man Yue... did he send you?" Latanya was stunned when she heard that. She said in a weak voice: "If that's the case, please go back. I am a disgrace to the academy and I am not worthy of the teacher's rescue."

In fact, Latania appeared in the witch prison because she was ostracized in the Full Moon Magic Academy and ran away.

As a result, he happened to meet the Abyss Eye Witch who was out, and thought her bloodline was worth studying, so he tied her up and put her in prison. The Full Moon Academy is an important plot, and it is also the place where Li Cheng will go to get equipment and experience after he is released from prison.

"It has nothing to do with Dean Man Yue." Li Cheng continued: "I came to save you because I admire you."

"Admire me?" Latania curled up twice again.

She was a little panicked to be admired by a guy who kept using the birthing technique to kill people.

"That's right." Li Cheng nodded excitedly: "When I saw the magic you invented [Fireball·Father's Sorrow], my world changed."

"Ah?" Latania became even more nervous when she heard the name of this magic.

"Oh my god, immune to forbidden magic, five times more powerful, unstoppable, and self-controlled. Is there any magic more powerful than this?"

Oh, so he only read half of it... Latanya lowered her head in embarrassment: "But my magic basically can't hit the enemy, it can only hit myself."

"That's even better!" Li Cheng suddenly raised his voice: "Who else can invent a magic trick that can only hit yourself, except you?"

"Are you... mocking me?" Latania raised her head.

"Of course not!" Li Cheng grabbed Latania's hand fiercely: "Don't you think that the magicians of Full Moon Academy have fallen into a misunderstanding?"

"Misunderstanding?"

"Yes, they only create magic that can kill others, but never create magic that can kill themselves." Li Cheng's eyes were firm: "Isn't this a misunderstanding?"

"Uh, is this... a problem?"

"Listen to me." Li Cheng sat next to Latania, leaning against the iron window, and put his arm around her shoulders: "Have you ever thought about why they don't create magic that can blow themselves up?"

"...I feel more and more that you are mocking me." Latanya whispered.

"Don't interrupt me, just listen to me!" Li Cheng patted her shoulder: "This is because they are afraid, afraid of death! But, this is wrong."

"The exploration of magic is always accompanied by risks. The first person who invented the fireball was definitely burned by the flames, and the first person who invented the lightning ball was definitely struck by lightning."

"This is the price of gaining power, but today's wizards are complacent and no longer willing to pay the price. They control the power of magic for fear of hurting themselves. If everyone is like this, where will new magic come from? How can magic progress?"

After saying this, Li Cheng looked at Latanya, only to find that Latanya was also looking at him.

"Why don't you speak?" Li Cheng asked puzzledly.

"You just didn't let me say it." Latanya blinked.

"You can say it now."

"I don't know what to say."

"Then continue to listen to me." Li Cheng continued, eloquently: "It has been tens of thousands of years since the concept of magic appeared on this continent. As a result, the most powerful magic is still the original magic from ten thousand years ago. Do you know what this means?"

"What does it mean?" Latanya scratched her head.

"It means that our magic has not made any progress in the past ten thousand years." Li Cheng shook his head: "This is a shame for all magicians in this world."

"The shame of the mage..." Latania repeated these words, feeling that Li Cheng's words made sense inexplicably.

"If you want to improve your magic, you must pay a price, and this price has now been paid by you." Li Cheng held Latania's shoulders and stared into her eyes:

"Think about it, you have developed so many powerful spells that can harm yourself. Other magicians only need to improve on your research and eliminate the side effects to promote the advancement of magic?"

"Am I... so powerful?" Latania felt her blood boiling.

"Of course, they are stuck in their old ways, while you are looking for new ways for magic. You are a hundred times, a thousand times, ten thousand times better than them. Miss Latanya, they all say that you are the shame of the Full Moon School of Magic, but I think..."

"You are the light of the academy."

After Li Cheng finished speaking, he paused and his throat moved.

It's a bit tiring to talk so much serious nonsense.

Latania just stood there, unaware that Li Cheng was holding her hand.

one second.

Five seconds.

ten seconds.

She finally came to her senses and clenched Li Cheng's hand tightly: "I am the light of the school?"

Li Cheng: “Yes.”

Latanya took a deep breath: "Could it be that I am really a genius?"

Li Cheng: “Yes, yes.”

Latanya snorted and raised her head proudly: "Yes, I am a genius! They exclude me because they are jealous of my talent."

Li Cheng: "Ah, yes, yes, yes."

Latanya pulled out a scroll from her bosom: "You are the only one who recognizes my value. You are not bad."

Li Cheng: “…”

Latanya: "I want to be your teacher and pass on my life's learning to you. Are you willing?"
