Chapter 34: CH 34

Xu Sili was taken aback for a moment.

He had felt it a little bit after singing the whole song but once the light curtain appeared, he was still stunned. His entire body was a bit confused.

It was a real surprise!

He had spent three days studying an entire book of children’s songs. He even asked the maids to teach him Roland’s folk songs but…

It was no use! Even if he learned them and sang them without the slightest problem, it was no use! He didn’t learn a new singing skill so in the end, he had to give up on the road of leveling up by understanding songs.

Then what was the current situation? He just heard a strange folk song, felt it and hummed it together. How could he understand a new skill?

Xu Sili once again checked the message windows in front of him.

[Ding~ Congratulations on understanding Escher Star’s folk song and acquiring the new skill ‘Sprouting’, intelligence +2, experience +1,000.]

He wasn’t mistaken. This skill was a bit of a higher level than Roland’s Good Night Song.

It was because Xu Sili remembered that the good night song only added 1 point of intelligence and 500 experience points. Now it was directly doubled!

Sprouting?

This song was called Sprouting? What type of skill would it be?

Xu Sili took a look at the skill panel.

[Sprouting]

[Type: Escher Star Folk Song

Affiliation: Sound skill

Level: Lv 1

Role: A ranged skill that can immerse the audience in the general energy of the spring breeze, gaining a vigorous, thriving state and stimulating growth.]

Xu Sili looked at the description of the song and recalled the scene just now. He really had felt such an atmosphere.

In addition…

This was actually a ranged skill?

He was delighted and couldn’t wait to read on.

[Combat effect:

1. Restore 10 points of health every second until the end of the song.

2. After listening a certain number of times, the listener’s element affinity will be slightly enhanced.

Magic consumed: 100

Current proficiency: 1/100]

Xu Sili was stunned once again. Fu*k, it was a health restoration skill! He hadn’t seen any health-related skills or potions apart from the healer’s healing techniques.

The water healer’s techniques were powerful but they required contact with the patient’s body. It obviously wasn’t suitable for use in combat.

They couldn’t fight halfway and have the opponent stop so they could restore their health, right?

Meanwhile, Sprouting’s practicality in battle was very strong! As long as they were within the range of the singing, anyone who heard it would be the target of the skill.

His mental strength could extend the range even further, allowing more people to hear his song.

However, this involved a problem.

Such a ranged skill required him to have superb control in combat.

He wasn’t a player so he didn’t have a player’s team system. In other words, the ranged skill wouldn’t distinguish between enemies or allies.

It was just like last time in Mercenary Town against the interstellar beast. He performed Roland’s Good Night Song and it wasn’t only the three star beast who was affected. The mercenaries were also controlled.

Fortunately, he later improved his spirit attribute and found a solution. His mental coverage meant he could control the targets affected by the song. Before that, the mental strength coverage was five meters. Now…

Xu Sili continued to look through the message panel.

[Ding~ Your experience is full. Your personal level has risen from Lv 8 to Lv 9, all attributes +1, free points +10]

[Ding~ Successfully launched the ranged skill ‘Sprouting’, proficiency +1.]

In just half a day, he had gained two levels!

Xu Sili was a bit excited. He added the 20 free points from leveling up to his physique and spirit. Then he looked at his personal attributes panel.

[Snow Roland]

[Personal level: Lv 9

Distance to level up: 276/1000

Health: 45,000/45,000

Magic: 1,650/1,650

Attributes: Physique (45), Intelligence (37), Strength (10), Spirit (39), Agility (9), Defense (9)

Elemental Affinity: Sound]

Xu Sili smiled with satisfaction. He now had more health than Janice!

You know, Janice was Lv 15 and the difference between them was six levels. Moreover, Janice was a warrior. In terms of physical strength, she had an advantage over the spiritual elementalists.

Now he had 5,000 more health than Janice!

The setting of gaining 10 points to allocate with every level up was too cool! Didn’t this mean… the players could crush the NPCs?

Xu Sili frowned after realizing this. He was once a player and he knew about this group of silly people very well.

Even if the boss was over 100 times stronger than them, they would dare to fight as long as the health bar was shown. It didn’t matter how powerful.

It was because they could resurrect indefinitely. To them, this was just a game. It was very ferocious!

In fact, as the ruler of the empire, Xu Sili was more worried than happy about the arrival of this group. It was because they were uncontrollable. They had amazing energy and ‘creativity.’ It was never known what this group of fools with the chuuni disease would do.

Xu Sili felt somewhat grave.

Before the game started, apart from his own strength, he needed to find a way to make the people under him stronger as well. It was better to boost even the ordinary civilians.

After learning about it, he knew that on Escher Star, all elementalists could only reach two stars, i.e. level 20.

Except for Si Sheng of course.

At a glance, this setting was designed to suppress the NPCs’ strength and keep the gap between NPCs and players small.

Thus, they must be limited by something.

Perhaps after settling the 10 million alliance fee, he would have to spend some time exploring the level limit and how to break it.

This matter was also related to his own improvement.

Xu Sili thought about these things. Then he suddenly realized as he was thinking that the most important thing currently was—

Sprouting!

Yes, how did he understand Sprouting?

It was about his future skills and it was very important!

By the time his mind returned, the bouncing figure in the field was far away from them.

He blinked and hurriedly said, “Si Sheng, take me to that kid.”

The fact was that he understood the skill might have nothing to do with the child. After all, the mother and child last time didn’t seem to be anything special.

Still, he had acquired such an important skill. He knew how to repay favors. He couldn’t owe such a big favor and act as if nothing had happened.

On the side, Si Sheng had felt the enhanced aura of the young man. In fact, it wasn’t surprising that the young man had been promoted so much in such a short time.

This world was amazing.

One could become stronger in a variety of ways, such as killing interstellar beasts, such as… killing people.

He originally thought that Lord God would go to kill interstellar beasts to recover his strength.

After all, Lord God had wanted to kill the long-eared beast only to give up for some unknown reason. Now it seemed that perhaps he had found a better way.

Si Sheng had been secretly thinking this when he heard the young man’s words and obediently stepped forward. He wrapped his strong arms around the slim waist.

He behaved naturally. Only Si Sheng knew how restrained he needed to be to suppress the throbbing of his heart.

No matter what his Lord God wanted him to do, he would do his best, even if it cost him his life.

Lord God didn’t want to reveal his identity and Si Sheng tried to cooperate.

Because… at least in this way, he would have the opportunity to get close.

Xu Sili didn’t know what was secretly going on inside this person’s heart and didn’t resist Si Sheng’s approach.

After all, he had experienced it several times before.

He felt his vision blur in front of him. Once the familiar dizziness passed, he and Si Sheng had come to the field and appeared in front of the child.

The child was around seven or eight years old. He was dirty, wearing a ragged hat and carrying a bamboo basket on his shoulder.

The small palm-sized face was covered with mud and dust so the facial features couldn’t be seen clearly. Only a pair of sea-green eyes caught Xu Sili’s gaze the moment he saw them.

They were a very special pair of eyes. They were clean and clear with the ignorance of a child, but there was no shortage of vigilance.

The child was visibly startled by their sudden appearance. He took two steps backwards and turned around to run.

This little one was quite alert.

Xu Sili took a few steps forward and reached out to grab the basket on the child’s shoulder, slowly dragging the child back.

“Don’t run. I have something to tell you,” Xu Sili said.

As a result, the child ignored him. The child took off the bamboo basket and continued to run forward.

Xu Sili looked at the child heading into the wild and sighed. He had to softly sing a song.

[Roland’s Good Night Song has been successfully launched. 100 magic has been consumed.]

To his surprise, his skill didn’t work immediately.

The child continued for two steps.

Just as Xu Sili thought it had failed, the child finally stopped. His legs softened and he sat down on the grass.

Xu Sili had started singing so he didn’t stop immediately.

He had consumed 100 magic. He should at least increase the proficiency.

The whole good night song wasn’t long. It was over in around four minutes.

[Ding~ Successfully launched the ranged skill ‘Roland’s Good Night Song’, proficiency +1.]

[Current proficiency: 4/100]

By the time the whole song was over, the child was completely lying on the grass and sleeping with his eyes closed.

Xu Sili looked at this scene and felt a bit funny.

He just wanted to repay this little guy. How had it become like this?

No matter how he looked at it, hypnotizing people directly was the behavior of a bad person.

“Si Sheng, do you think I’m too much doing this?” He couldn’t help raising his head and asking.

Si Sheng frowned before replying with certainty, “You aren’t wrong.”

Xu Sili glanced at this person and shook his head.

Why was he asking this cruel guy? If it was Si Sheng… perhaps the child would have no chance to escape!

Xu Sili no longer looked at Si Sheng and his eyes continued to fall on the child. He carefully approached and reached out to flip the child’s body over.

As a result, the child’s hat was accidentally pulled off.

Silver-gray hair fell down to just around shoulder length.

Xu Sili blinked. He hadn’t expected this child to be a little girl. Through the dirt on her face, beautiful features could vaguely be seen.

She would probably be pretty when washed clean.

No wonder why she had run when she saw them. She probably thought they were bad people.

He patted her on the face and tried to wake her up.

The child was very thin and there wasn’t much meat on her face. Xu Sili frowned and called out to her, but she didn’t wake up.

There wasn’t anything wrong, was there?

Xu Sili was a bit uneasy and hurriedly used Insight.

[Asheng]

[Identity: Special talent NPC

Bloodline: Human, elf

Personal level: Lv 1

Health: 2,000/5,000

Magic: 900/900

Elemental affinity: Wood

Special talents: Elemental attraction (No matter where you are, the elemental concentration within 10 meters is 100% while the wood element concentration is +150%).

Negative status: Hunger (reduction of 1 health per minute), fatigue (physical strength consumption rate +10%).]

Xu Sili saw this girl’s attributes panel and couldn’t help closing his eyes. Then he opened them to take a closer look and found…

He really didn’t get it wrong. She was an elf! This little girl had an elf bloodline!

Fu*k, was it the type of elf with pointed ears grown from the tree of life as he imagined? There were other races apart from the human race on Escher Star?

Xu Sili was a bit confused. What was the setting of this game? A hodgepodge of things?

Still, now wasn’t the time to think about this. This child had obviously fainted from hunger and was still losing health!

Based on her health recovery rate, she would be able to live for only 2,000 minutes. This was less than two days.

It was too miserable. One could even lose health because of hunger. She was going to starve to death!

Xu Sili picked up the little girl called Asheng and turned to Si Sheng. “Let’s go to Su Lin. This little girl is starving to death.”

Si Sheng glanced at the girl who was passed out and sighed. He pursed his lips and reached out to take her. “Your Majesty, you take the bamboo basket.”

Xu Sili was originally a bit confused when this person took the child. Then he heard the words and couldn’t help being stunned. “Oh.”

He picked up the bamboo basket on the ground. Then he saw Si Sheng place the girl on his back and reach out with the other hand to hug Xu Sili’s waist.

Xu Sili leaned forward obediently and waited for the familiar feeling of dizziness to come.

Then they arrived at the field at the end of the path. Looking around, it was different from the other green or growing fields. The two acres of land in front of them was already golden.

The wind blew gently and the swaying rice stalks were bent over from the fruit. He might’ve trusted Su Lin’s talent but Xu Sili was still delighted and shocked when he saw this scene in front of him.

This type of performance was really good!

He had seen photos of Black Valley before. It was definitely Black Valley planted here on the two acres of land. However, it had previously been verified that Black Valley couldn’t be planted on Escher Star.

Su Lin had overcome this problem in just a few days. Xu Sili’s trust in him hadn’t been in vain.

In the fields, a figure was busy working. Suddenly, he seemed to find something and glanced to this side.

Then the thin figure froze. The young man wearing a straw hat instantly dropped what he was doing and rushed over here.

In the middle, the teenager accidentally fell but he didn’t care if he was injured or not. He just got up, continued to run this way and finally rushed to the edge of the field.

“Your Majesty! Lord Marshal!” Su Lin shouted loudly, his dark eyes full of surprise.

Xu Sili felt kind seeing the dark hair and eyes. He nodded and smiled. “What are you doing in such a hurry? We won’t run away.”

“I… I was afraid Your Majesty and Lord Marshal have been waiting for a long time…”

Su Lin spoke shyly, his face radiant. He was completely different from the person who was in the dean’s office that day.

Xu Sili thought about business and hurriedly wondered, “Su Lin, do you have food here?”

“Food?”

“Yes, this child is hungry.”

Xu Sili pointed to the little girl on Si Sheng’s back. Her arms were around Si Sheng’s shoulders and were like two sticks. They were thin, small and looked very pitiful. 

It was only now that Su Lin discovered her. He quickly nodded and replied, “Yes, there is food! Your Majesty, please wait!”

Then he entered the field again, ran quickly down the path to the other side of the field, picked up a small package and rushed back.

Si Sheng also put the little girl down. Her dirty hands touched his military uniform, leaving behind traces of dust.

His back wasn’t spared. The girl had been lying on his back and it was now stained black and gray.

Xu Sili’s heart couldn’t help twitching when he realized this. It wasn’t his but…

It still hurt a bit. He liked this suit very much! He didn’t know if it could be cleaned.

Si Sheng didn’t seem too concerned. He bent down to hand the girl over to Su Lin before taking a step back and continuing to stand silently beside Xu Sili.

At this time, he seemed to perceive something and glanced sideways. His gray-blue eyes stared at the young man before his lips curved slightly, revealing a soothing smile.

He seemed to be saying, ‘Don’t care about this little thing.’

Under the blue sky and white clouds, the smiling blond man was brighter and warmer than usual.

Xu Sili pursed his lips and slowly looked away. He didn’t speak but toward Si Sheng in his heart… he revised his point of view.

Yes, this person might be a bit cruel but he was actually quite good. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have become Roland’s patron saint.

Of course, he didn’t know anything. If Wen Jishan was here, his jaw would’ve dropped. It was because only he knew how precious this military uniform was to Si Sheng.

Su Lin held little Asheng. He first fed her a mouthful of water before breaking off a piece of cake, soaking it in water and feeding it to her.

Asheng was obviously hungry.

Her eyes were still closed but she swallowed instinctively. After taking a few mouthfuls, she opened her eyes. She ignored all of them and grabbed the cake, gobbling it down.

Su Lin looked at her dirty little face and then glanced at the emperor. He hesitated a moment before taking out a handkerchief. He wet it with water and wanted to wipe the little girl’s face, but she dodged him warily.

She picked up the cake, got up from Su Lin’s arms and ran to the side.

“What are you going to do?” The young girl’s immature voice was heard. “Asheng doesn’t wash her face.”

Xu Sili watched her with interest. He was relieved to see her jumping around. He crouched down and looked her in the eye.

“You just fainted from hunger and we saved you. This is how you repay us?”

Asheng blinked. Her sea-green eyes were really as beautiful as an elf.

“Then… thank you Brother, little brother.”

She spoke softly before looking up at Si Sheng. “Thank you, Uncle.”

Si Sheng, “……”

Pfft!

Si Sheng was speechless but Xu Sili directly laughed.

To the side, Su Lin raised his hand and scratched his head. He didn’t know why His Majesty was laughing and he wasn’t sure if he should laugh along.

Little Asheng also watched Xu Sili with doubts in her big eyes.

Did she say something funny?

Xu Sili smiled and pointed at Si Sheng. “He might be a bit anxious-looking but you should still call him Brother.”

Uncle…

Then he would be from a generation younger than Si Sheng? That wouldn’t work. Moreover, Si Sheng wasn’t very old. He just always had a serious face and his temperament was dignified and cold. He was mature and steady.

In fact, he was only 25 years old. This was two years younger than Li Zhecheng.

Little Asheng looked between Xu Sili and Si Sheng. Then she obeyed the good advice. “Thank you, big brother.”

Si Sheng pressed his lips together and nodded indifferently. Yet in his heart, he was thinking about the young man’s words just now. He… looked anxious?

For the first time in his life, Si Sheng was concerned about his appearance.

“Asheng is very obedient.”

Xu Sili didn’t rush to get closer to the girl and instead asked with a smile, “Then tell me, where does your family live? I’ll take you back.”

Asheng heard his words and her mouth suddenly shrunk. “I have no… home. It was trampled on by a monster and I can’t live there anymore.”

Xu Sili was slightly startled. “Are you living in Mercenary Town?”

Asheng nodded.

Xu Sili was silent. It seemed she was a victim of the three star beast. “What about your family?”

The little girl shook her head. “Asheng has no family.”

“Didn’t you have a home before? Who lived with you?”

“Ah Huang. Asheng lives with Ah Huang.”

Xu Sili sighed with relief. “What about Ah Huang? Where is he?”

Rather than answering him, little Asheng made her hands into the shape of a horn and yelled in the direction of the field.

“Ah Huang— Ah Huang—”

At her cry, a bad feeling filled Xu Sili’s heart. Sure enough, it didn’t take long…

“Awoo—  awoo—”

A figure came running from the field all the way to the little girl. Then he lay on the ground and wagged his tail desperately.

Little Asheng extended her hand and gently touched his head. Then she looked at Xu Sili and seriously told him, “This is Ah Huang.”

Xu Sili looked at the big yellow dog on the ground. Yes, it should be a dog, right? (Huang= yellow)

He couldn’t help sighing at the thought. It seemed this girl was a street urchin, one with elf blood.

He thought about it for a moment before looking at her. “You should follow us first. Once we go back to town, I’ll have someone arrange a place for you to stay.”

“Are you going to catch me and sell me?” Asheng looked at Xu Sili and suddenly asked.

Xu Sili smiled. “You don’t know me but don’t you know him?”

He pointed to Si Sheng. In the Roland Empire, there shouldn’t be anyone who didn’t know Si Sheng, right?

Sure enough, little Asheng nodded. “I know. He is the patron saint. Still, does this have anything to do with you catching me for sale?”

Xu Sili was surprised. This girl was quite clever for her age. He thought she didn’t recognize them which was why she turned and ran. He didn’t expect that she did recognize them 

It seemed that Si Sheng’s face couldn’t be used everywhere.

“We won’t catch you to sell…”

Wait, this was wrong.

Xu Sili suddenly realized a problem and he glanced at the little girl’s attributes panel. In addition to her elf blood, the most special thing about her should be her special ability!

He looked at the introduction again.

[Elemental attraction (No matter where you are, the elemental concentration within 10 meters is 100% while the wood element concentration is +150%).]

The richness of the elements in the environment was especially important for low level elementalists. It was because once the richness increased, the speed of training could be greatly improved!

He had nothing here except low level elementalist apprentices! There were more than one hundred and almost two hundred on their way.

Xu Sili was worried about how to quickly improve their strength. He hadn’t expected to meet this baby Asheng!

Fortunately, he chased and stopped here. Otherwise, wouldn’t this special talent have run away?

The young man thought of this and couldn’t help making a particularly bright smile.

Asheng looked at him and wasn’t confused by his beautiful smile. Rather, she moved quietly to Ah Huang’s side.

This little brother suddenly became so terrible!

The author has something to say:

Si Sheng: Wen Jishan, I want to apply a mask.

Wen Jishan: ???

Si Sheng: I need to maintain myself. I can’t let my wife dislike me T^T

Wen Jishan: …….
