"The ti is almost up; we should be leaving now. This ti, luck really isn’t on our side," Lin Yucha pouted as she spoke.
Du You also patted his head, feeling utterly speechless, "We can’t say it’s bad luck; it’s actually quite good. Others might search around here a dozen tis and might not find anything suitable even once. I’ve heard about the longest record; it seems soone searched here for two years without finding a single advancent material."
Du You also felt sowhat frustrated, but this was only in comparison to the first ti when he found several items.
In these past few visits, they had only found two items, one of which he had just obtained—a broken motherboard. Yes, a motherboard, and Du You himself did not know what the motherboard was for.
Accordingly, that left only one skill, which was Photon Elf. Because Du You’s only skill that could relate to the technological aspect was this, all his other skills were purely magical.
"It seems you truly have the best luck, sister." This ti, Lin Yushi hadn’t found a single suitable item, a stark contrast to the first ti when she found two items perfect for her.
"Next ti, next ti you will definitely find sothing suitable for you. Besides, we’re also here to look for advancent materials this ti."
Lin Yucha comforted her sister, thinking of the cloak she had found yesterday, and felt quite fortunate.
The origin of that cloak was unknown, but it corresponded to her own Demon Concealnt Skill. Her skill in stealth and infiltration relied on this. With this skill, Lin Yucha’s ability to conceal herself was not inferior to any professional.
"Alright, let’s head back; it’s ti to leave. Searching aimlessly little by little is less effective than venturing out on our own." That world had not been explored by anyone else and was completely theirs, with a higher likelihood of finding good items.
The three of them left the Magic Network, then summoned a spatial portal and reappeared in their own territory.
Since they hadn’t been gone long, not much had changed in the territory. Du You simply handed so Crystal Coins to Shaliya and let the territory develop freely, as he didn’t usually manage it closely.
Opening a map, Du You and the two sisters began to study it.
"We’ll depart from here. Our Divine Fla Empire is located on the easternmost part of the continent; to the south is the Kingdom of Hanhai, and the east is all ocean, it’s unknown what lies there. To the west is the Quicksand Empire, which covers a very large area, so we can only head north. Let’s see, to the north, if we go in the northwest direction, that is the Barbarian Kingdom."
"What are Barbarians?" Lin Yushi asked, sowhat surprised.
Lin Yucha imdiately explained, "Barbarians are what this world calls Beastn, and all Beastn and Half-Beastn are referred to as Barbarians. It’s a kingdom established by the Beastn, and should not pose much danger to us."
As a kingdom, the most powerful would only be around the fifth tier. As for how many, Du You did not know, but it couldn’t be too many, otherwise the Divine Fla Empire wouldn’t allow them to continue existing.
Of course, having other countries nearby to restrain them is also an important reason.
"Beastn value personal strength and greatly idolize those strong individuals, treating them as heroes, so I speculate there should be plenty of materials suitable for advancent among the Beastn."
"But aren’t all Beastn warriors, which might not be suitable for us?"
Du You smiled, "Advancent materials do have so correlation with professions, but that’s just a tendency and doesn’t matter much. Besides, there are also shamans among the Beastn and other long-range professions."
Du You continued smiling, then pointed his finger further west.
"Look here; once past the Barbarian Kingdom, we can keep heading west, where there is the Grey Elf Forest. It’s said that there is a tribe of Grey Elves living there, and although the tribe doesn’t seem large, their strength can’t be underestimated. At this place, I think we should be able to find sothing suitable." Du You admitted his understanding of Grey Elves wasn’t very extensive.
But since it was related to elves, at least their abilities in archery and magic should be strong, aligning well with their professional roles.
On hearing this, Lin Yushi nodded, "That’s great, shall we depart now?" An excited Lin Yushi suddenly pounced on Du You, shaking him, which Du You found quite comforting.
Being a Professional whose level hadn’t increased, the best hope for becoming stronger was improving their skills. Or rather, skills were always the most crucial aspect in a conventional sense.
Du You gently patted Lin Yushi, and then spoke, "Of course we’re leaving now. Last ti we almost used up all our exclusive Crystal Coins; even if we have advancent materials, we can’t use them without earning more first."
Du You noticed Lin Yucha’s aningful gaze and his face twitched slightly. They were old partners by now; was that bit of physical contact still lacking? He didn’t have to sneak around; he could enjoy openly.
After a while of frolic, the group, led by Du You, first inford Shaliya, then rode a flying creature northward. Since they were not operating dostically this ti but were leaving to enter another kingdom, Du You did not want others to know, so he removed all noble insignia from his person.
The three of them set out as ordinary adventurers, therefore they did not need to notify the noble administrative bodies of other cities along the way.
Besides, Du You had never really cared for this world’s various rules; as long as they weren’t discovered, there would be no problem. Even if they were discovered, in truth, Du You wouldn’t really care.
This way, the three picked inconspicuous places to travel through, and since they didn’t need to stop, their speed wasn’t slow. Xiaozi, having advanced to the fourth tier, was now able to carry three people flying, and at quite a fast speed.
Traveling at full speed, in five days, they went from the southernmost to the northernmost part of the empire, much faster than any airplane. Dodging the border guards, the three, small in number, easily left the Divine Fla Empire.
Continuing northward, the region appeared much more desolate. Not because the land wasn’t fertile, but because the Beastn themselves weren’t adept at farming. Conversely, the Beastn were better at herding, not nomadic but rather a kind of pastoral farming mixed with free-range techniques.
at was the main food of the Beastn, supplented with so special products. They usually traded so food with the Divine Fla Empire or other forces and managed quite well. When there really was nothing available, these guys would rob like bandits.
