As Lyanna had said, the rest of the journey was filled with the sight of a corpse lying on the ground every few steps.
Apart from a few corpses that had been eaten and were mutilated, the magic cores inside them were still intact. Lyanna took out the magic cores one by one and handed them to Jia Zhengyi to put in his backpack.
"That's great, you can make money while traveling."
Jia Zhengyi smiled broadly and praised Lyanna's strength, but only received a cold stare in return.
Well, it seems that praise can be offensive when it's not appreciated.
The journey was quite tedious, but Xiao Linlin made full use of this rare free time, pulling Lyanna and Su Lin along to discuss all the basic knowledge about the possible customs, geography, racial structure, power divisions, and so on in the magical world.
Of course, it was mainly Lyanna who spoke, and the two of them went to listen.
Just like in the previous promotion match, Jia Zhengyi, who is half a local in the superpowered society, also provided the team with a lot of additional intelligence information.
These seemingly insignificant details can actually greatly affect a survivor's gains and escape speed in the game.
Although Lyanna is cold-hearted, she is quite open-minded. She tells Su Lin everything he needs in detail, making her an honest girl.
While listening to Lyanna recount these intelligence details, Su Lin also took the time to open the boxing manual and study it carefully.
To be honest, I don't know if it's because of the effect of the new talent, but when Su Lin looked at the A-level boxing manual again, he no longer felt like he was completely blind before, and he could barely understand some of it.
However, it was only "barely" a result. This "barely" was based on Su Lin's mastery of the Zhou Tian Sword Techniques, and the final result was achieved by reverse engineering his martial arts strength after the mechanism-based accelerated learning.
To put it simply, this feeling is like a college student holding a book on engineering cybernetics.
You can't say you don't understand it at all, but that's not quite right.
You might say you understand it, but your understanding is extremely limited.
Having lost access to the rapid learning methods provided by the system, Su Lin now understands more and more why, back in the martial arts world, skills and manuals were everywhere in major sects like Sword Pavilion and Blood Sect.
I'm not afraid of being stolen from at all!
Why steal? Learn! Learn openly and honestly!
Once you master it, you'll have real skill, and you'll be a martial arts genius sought after by all the major martial arts sects!
Can't understand it?
That doesn't matter, because ordinary people can't understand divine skills and mystical methods, just like modern students suffer from studying mathematics, physics, and chemistry.
Su Lin is experiencing this pain, but fortunately he is very patient.
If you don't understand a passage, then look at it carefully, repeatedly, and ponder it thoroughly. Continuously use the martial arts skills you have quickly mastered to backtest and verify the skills you have learned on your own.
Since it's a conventional learning method, it definitely requires effort and time. The more you invest, the more stable and powerful your gains will be.
This directly led to Xiao Linlin becoming relatively bored during the next few hours of travel.
Her brother was too busy to talk to her, Lyanna was a quiet person, and Jia Zhengyi was a chatterbox, but too outgoing... Even though it was a team of four, Xiao Linlin couldn't find anyone to chat with to relieve her boredom.
Xiao Linlin wanted to look up and interrupt Su Lin's study several times, but when she saw his focused expression and furrowed brows, she couldn't bear to disturb him.
In a moment of daze, she clearly foresaw the future: perhaps for a long time to come, she would not be able to pester her brother anymore, and he would remain immersed in it for a long time, using conventional learning methods to forge ahead on his path.
They walked in silence for five hours before finally emerging from the dense forest. Jia Zhengyi looked up and pointed ahead: "Boss, look! We've arrived!"
Su Lin pulled his soul out of the world of the boxing manual, looked up and glanced around. The group was standing on a small hill, and there was a town about a kilometer ahead. Pedestrians could be seen hurrying along the muddy road next to the town.
"It's a human town, but this place seems strangely backward."
Jia Zhengyi rubbed his nose and muttered, "Muddy road, tattered clothes, everyone looks pale and thin... Ouch! Look! Someone's even urinating or defecating on the ground!"
Jia Zhengyi looked disgusted; this was far removed from the dazzling magical world he had imagined.
"Let's go."
Su Lin didn't pay much attention and continued on his way while looking down at the boxing manual. Heaven knows how he managed to do two things at once.
The group descended the slope, joined the mountain path, and followed the muddy trail all the way to the town.
The town had no defenses, only some makeshift patrol posts made of rubble, with a dozen or so human soldiers in light armor checking the passersby.
"stop!"
Two soldiers stepped forward, looking at Su Lin's group with surprise.
The dozen or so soldiers mostly looked malnourished, the tallest being no more than 1.6 meters tall, with thin bodies and rusty weapons, and they didn't seem to have much fighting power.
Looking at Su Lin's team, Su Lin is a strong man at 1.9 meters tall, Jia Zhengyi is a bit thin but still 1.8 meters tall, not to mention Lyanna.
Although she's only a little over 1.7 meters tall, she's an elf! A rare and noble species!
No matter how you look at it, this team doesn't seem like an ordinary one.
"Hey, hello soldier!"
Jia Zhengyi greeted them with a smile. Due to the mechanism, the survivors could naturally communicate normally with the human creatures in the game, without any language or writing restrictions.
"Where did you come from? Are you adventurers?"
The soldier frowned and questioned him, and Jia Zhengyi answered in an orderly manner: "Yes, adventurers! We came from out of town to make money, and we plan to try our luck in this area. It's getting dark outside, so we plan to go into the city to rest."
