Chapter 286 Xu Xiayan’s Gift
The sky gradually darkened.
When the sunset glow on the horizon had been gradually replaced by the night sky, Su Ming had just finished tidying up the entire villa in a villa complex in Longxin District.
I have to say, this is quite tiring.
It seemed that Xu Xiayan had not used this place for a long time, and it had been abandoned for at least several years. Not only was there dust, cobwebs, and messy garbage everywhere, but the backyard, front yard, and fountain were also overgrown with weeds.
The damaged part is not just the door. The exterior walls in every corner of the villa are also damaged and covered with moss and vines, making the whole villa look like a haunted house and almost an abandoned building.
This made Su Ming very suspicious as to how many years this villa had been here.
"Xu Xiayan was brought to Tianfeng City when she was 21 years old. It has been almost ten years since she left Longyao City. Could it be that she only lived here for a year or two and ran away because she was too lazy to clean up, leaving this place as a mess to me?"
Su Ming complained for a long time while cleaning up.
"Mi Ling!"
On the other hand, Xiao Hai'er, after entering the villa, seemed to be liberated. He swam around everywhere, sprayed water here, and played wildly there, washing the entire villa from top to bottom with water and having a lot of fun.
The mermaid girl had been hiding for several days. Now she was finally free. She was so happy that even the depression she felt when she saw the eggs of her own kind being auctioned at the Wanbao Auction House disappeared, and the whole villa was filled with her joyful moans.
Thanks to Xiao Hai'er's help, Su Ming was able to tidy up the villa so that it could be lived in before the sun completely set. Otherwise, he would not be able to tidy up such a large house by himself.
Of course, it's only habitable enough.
The weeds in the yard have not been pulled out, the moss and vines on the exterior walls have not been dealt with, and the gate has only been roughly installed without being replaced in time. It is now rusted like the surrounding fences, and even the furniture has been basically thrown away as waste, leaving the entire house empty without even a decent piece of furniture.
If he couldn't buy things at the terminal and have them delivered to his door, Su Ming would almost not have a bed, and even having a place to sleep would have been a problem.
"This is no longer something that can be fixed with just a quick cleanup. If we don't call a few people to help, or simply hire someone to do it, it will be impossible to fix it."
After dark, Su Ming basically gave up the idea of finishing the house on his own.
“How about redecorating and renovating it?”
Su Ming was even thinking about such a thing, so you can imagine how dirty and messy this place is.
Fortunately, the water and electricity here seem to still be working, otherwise Su Ming would have to seriously consider whether to stay here tonight.
It is worth mentioning that there is a different world underground in the villa here.
"Wow, there's even an underground training room?"
Su Ming discovered that there was a large training ground in the basement of the villa.
There are some abandoned facilities and some abandoned weapon racks here. You can tell at a glance that this is a place for training.
"If we tidy this place up, it should be comparable to the training room in the academy."
As soon as Su Ming saw this underground training ground, he immediately wanted to clean it up and use it.
From now on, both myself and the members of my team will need a place to train, and this underground training ground will come in handy.
"Make a note of this."
Su Ming made note of this matter before leaving.
As for cleaning up, he didn't want to clean up today, so let's just leave it there for now.
"Mi Ling!"
Xiao Haier swam towards Su Ming with a happy face, pulled him and brought him to a place.
It was a large bathhouse that could accommodate at least ten people taking a bath together with ease.
“Is there such a big bathhouse?”
Su Ming was secretly shocked.
"Mi-ling! Mi-ling, mi-ling!"
Xiao Haier kept pulling Su Ming and pointing at the big bathing area, and seemed to like the place very much.
Her meaning was very simple. She just wanted Su Ming to help her tidy up the bathhouse.
"No?"
Su Ming had a bitter face and was very reluctant.
"Mi Ling!"
Xiao Haier immediately launched a tearful attack, looking aggrieved and tearful, which left Su Ming completely helpless.
There was no other way, Su Ming could only fulfill Xiao Haier's wish and work with her to tidy up the bathhouse.
With Xiao Hai'er's help, it was not too difficult to clean up the bathhouse. It only took about half an hour and the place was basically brand new and ready for use.
"Mi Ling!"
Xiao Haier then cheered, swung his fish tail, and flew high into the sky above the bathing area. Water ripples flowed on his body, and he actually released a large wave of water directly, filling up the clean bathing pool.
This directly saved the step of refilling the water, and even hot water was not needed. Xiao Haier took care of everything at once with his own abilities.
After finishing it, the mermaid girl dived in and swam comfortably.
Seeing that the girl was swimming so happily and comfortably, Su Ming, who had been busy all day and was very dirty, could not help but jumped into the bathtub and took a comfortable bath.
"Mi-ling? Mi-ling!"
When Xiao Haier saw Su Ming taking off all his clothes and soaking in the water, he did not feel shy. Instead, he swam over with a look of curiosity, as if he wanted to study something.
"Hey, girl, don't mess around, or you'll get 404ed."
Su Ming quickly tried to stop her from letting her dangerous curiosity grow.
"Mi Ling!"
The mermaid girl was very dissatisfied, as if Su Ming was hiding something from her, and her mood was not very good.
In order to appease the disgruntled girl, Su Ming had to serve her again before he could make her smile again.
What services did you provide? Nonsense! Of course it was a back scrub and hair wash! What else could it be? (Serious face)
It's just that my technique is not very good, and sometimes I accidentally slip my hands. This should be understandable, right? Well, Su Ming thinks it's excusable anyway.
After all, it was my first time washing someone’s hair and scrubbing their back (brackets, laugh).
In this way, Su Ming successfully moved into the villa and spent his first night in Tianfeng City.
By the way, Su Ming also found the so-called specialties that Xu Xiayan placed in the villa.
It would be better to say that the thing was placed at the gate, and it was obvious that it was mailed. The person himself was not present, otherwise Su Ming would really ask the other party how he felt when he saw that the villa was so dirty and dilapidated.
And the so-called specialties are actually some resources.
There is an alchemical potion that can enhance spiritual power.
There is a book of spiritual techniques that ranks around fifty in sequence.
There was another thing, but it was a gun.
It's not a cold weapon, a spear, but a hot weapon, a pistol.
Su Ming took a look and was somewhat surprised.
Psionic gun: an alchemical weapon, used exclusively by warlocks. It can refine the warlock's spiritual power into bullets and fire them out to cause damage to others. It is more effective against phantoms, and the damage it causes to objects other than phantoms is limited.
"That's interesting."
Su Ming was also really surprised when he saw the information about this gun.
Su Ming had seen many alchemical weapons and even sold many of them, but this was the first time he had seen an alchemical weapon in the form of a thermal weapon.
Especially since this alchemical weapon is specially used by warlocks, this is the first time Su Ming has seen it.
All the alchemical weapons that Su Ming had seen in the past were used by hunters. This was the first time he had seen an alchemical weapon like this psychic gun that was specifically used by warlocks.
Su Ming tried it a bit and found that its power was not that exaggerated. The spiritual bullet fired was roughly equivalent to the lethality of [Type 1: Flying Arrow].
"The quality of this psychic gun is low-grade at best, right?"
Read the error-free version on 6Ⅹ9Ⅹ bookⅩ bar! 6Ⅹ9 book bar first publishes a novel.
Su Ming made a judgment.
However, the advantage of the psychic gun lies not in its power, but in its rapid-fire and counterattack capabilities.
As we all know, it takes some time for a warlock to use spiritual magic.
First, construct the spell to form a circular array, then output spiritual power at a certain frequency to resonate with the circular array, so that the circular array can communicate with spiritual laws and form a fixed sequence of spiritual spells, which can then be released.
The higher the order of the spiritual technique, the more complex and difficult it is to control this process.
Therefore, the skills and techniques used by sorcerers when using spiritual magic determine the speed at which they release the magic spells. This also involves issues such as spirituality and the level of spiritual power, which is quite complicated.
Even Su Ming needed time to prepare and release high-sequence spiritual arts. Therefore, in fast-paced battles, he usually had no chance to use high-sequence spiritual arts, and instead used low-sequence spiritual arts as his main means of combat.
Su Ming can only use [Form 1: Flying Arrow] instantly. The other spiritual arts, no matter how low the sequence is, require at least one second to prepare.
I believe that other warlocks cannot avoid this problem.
How to quickly construct spells and use spiritual magic with sufficient power as quickly as possible is a topic that sorcerers study throughout their lives. It is also a difficult problem that all sorcerers need to face.
Thanks to this, in battles of the same star level and level, when fighting alone, the Warlock is often no match for the Hunter.
Before the warlocks can successfully perform high-sequence spiritual spells, the hunters will rush to the front of the opponent and defeat them quickly.
However, low-sequence spiritual magic can hardly pose an effective threat to hunters of the same level, which means that warlocks are often at a disadvantage when fighting alone.
The warlock's real home ground is in team battles.
A warlock who has teammates to cover him and can use high-sequence spiritual magic at will in the rear is a true nuclear-level threat, a firepower coverter and output operator who can use the spiritual magic bombardment to ravage the entire battlefield.
The warlock at this time is the most terrifying and the most terrifying.
Although the psychic gun sent by Xu Xiayan is not very powerful, as long as the trigger is pulled, it will automatically absorb the user's spiritual power, instantly refine it into bullets and fire it out, posing a threat and damage to the enemy.
This rapid attack capability is even better than the instantaneous [Style: Flying Arrow].
In addition, [Type 1: Flying Arrow] focuses more on striking ability and impact force, and has little lethality. The bullets fired from the psychic gun have penetrating properties and can easily penetrate the body of a phantom demon and cause damage to it. If this psychic gun is used by a low-level warlock, it is estimated that it will be of great use.
At the very least, it is enough to deal with lower-level phantom demons.
"Unfortunately, I'm not a low-level warlock."
Su Ming played with the psychic gun and smiled bitterly.
Among the specialties sent by Xu Xiayan, the bottle of alchemical potion can only increase the spiritual power to a limited extent, and it only has a significant effect on low-level warlocks. The quality should be of high quality, which is quite precious to low-level warlocks, but basically useless to Su Ming.
Not to mention the book of spiritual magic techniques. A spiritual magic technique ranked around fifty in sequence is a powerful technique for low-level sorcerers. But for Su Ming, who is already a five-star sorcerer and has mastered more than one high-sequence spiritual magic technique ranked around sixty, it is really useless.
Su Ming, who has even mastered one high-level spiritual technique, has no idea how many books on spiritual techniques of this level are in his backpack. They could be piled up into a small mountain.
In a nutshell, the things Xu Xiayan sent were only suitable for a low-level warlock.
If Su Ming is really an apprentice warlock who has just debuted and graduated, and his real level is really only one star, then each of these three things can bring him great help.
But, Su Ming is not.
This is a bit embarrassing.
"Well, he means well, so we should accept it with gratitude."
Su Ming was not so disgusted by Xu Xiayan's handiwork that he accepted this "specialty" for the time being.
Su Ming probably wouldn't be able to use that bottle of alchemical potion and that book of techniques.
But as for the psychic gun, I can play with it a little.
"I've never used an alchemical weapon like a warlock."
If you have a chance later, you can use it to trick someone.
After counting these "specialties", Su Ming took out an ancient book from the Gold Finger backpack.
Surprisingly, it was the book of combat techniques that contained the complete inheritance of ancient sword books.
Su Ming opened it and read it roughly.
After seeing this, Su Ming couldn't stop.
The ancient sword techniques recorded in ancient books were of a type he had never seen before.
The above records not only various knife-using techniques, but also the force-generating techniques, knife-controlling techniques, as well as the mood and mental journey when using a knife.
If the magic sword technique that Su Ming had learned before was only a sword technique, then this ancient sword technique is not only a sword technique, but also a science.
It fully told Su Ming that, in addition to skills, using a knife also requires some understanding and tricks.
Some of the concepts mentioned in it were so advanced that Su Ming was a little surprised.
"Is this really a sword technique that the ancients could have researched?"
Su Ming even had such doubts.
As a result, Su Ming watched until most of the night.
After Xiao Haier fell asleep beside him, Su Ming put away the ancient book and felt some enlightenment in his heart.
"This ancient sword technique requires time and effort to study carefully."
Su Ming felt that this ancient sword technique could be of great help to him.
So, Su Ming fell asleep in excitement.
In the dream, he was wielding a knife and killing everyone, becoming truly invincible.
