Li Xunle's lips curled up slightly:
"Isn't this your old trick?"
Wang Ling looked slightly surprised when he heard this.
He smirked and asked, puzzled:
"Hey! Young comrade, what do you mean by that? I don't quite understand."
Li Xunle said calmly:
“Previously, that judge of life and death—Cui Ming—also asked me to help him find his Book of Life and Death and his judge's pen…”
He paused slightly:
"Now, you're asking me to help you find the [Map of All Things and the Dead]. Isn't that a coincidence?"
After saying that.
He stroked his chin, looking thoughtful.
Wang Ling was taken aback upon hearing this, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his eyes.
immediately.
He looked as if he had just realized something, and said:
"So that's how it is! I didn't expect Cui Ming to have contacted you as well. It means that everyone thinks highly of you and believes in your abilities, which is why they entrusted you with such an important task. I think you don't need to feel guilty."
He stroked his long beard and stared at Li Xunle with a smile.
Seeing this, Li Xunle said softly:
"A burden? Don't you think it's a bit much to ask a young person like me to do so many things for you? After all, I'm still just a child..."
Wang Ling had a shrewd and calculating look on his face.
"Alright, I see now. You just want some benefits, don't you?"
Li Xunle smiled slightly, feigning reluctance as he said:
"Don't misunderstand, I didn't mean that. As the saying goes, everyone has a responsibility for the rise and fall of the nation. As a model citizen, I do have a sense of responsibility. However, if there are any benefits, that would be even better, since the journey is tiring and exhausting."
Upon hearing this, Wang Ling looked at Li Xunle with a somewhat complicated expression.
Thinking:
Surprisingly, this young man doesn't seem to accept PUA (personal manipulation) very well...
If it were an ordinary ambitious young person, they would agree without hesitation.
Then do your best to complete it.
This guy doesn't play by the rules.
After thinking for a moment.
Wang Ling began to speak:
"Alright, what do you want?"
Li Xunle asked curiously:
"Do you have any top-tier treasures here? Like god-level or super god-level ones? Just give me one or two."
Wang Ling was taken aback and couldn't help but speak:
"Wow, kid, are you kidding me? God-level? I want that too!"
Li Xunle:
"Judging from your expression, that means you don't have any. If you don't have any, then some kind of divine treasure will do."
Wang Ling shrugged:
"So you want my [Map of All Undead]..."
Li Xunle's eyes lit up:
"Oh? The [Map of All Things and the Dead] is a god-level item?"
Wang Ling nodded:
"Of course, but this is a special item that an adventurer like you can't use."
Li Xunle frowned and questioned:
"You say it can't be used, so it can't be used? What if it could be used?"
Wang Ling shook his head:
"You young man have a real knack for getting to the bottom of things. Let me ask you first, what is your profession?"
"priest."
Wang Ling was very surprised:
"Huh? A priest... a pastor? Did I hear that right?"
After saying that.
Wang Ling rubbed his ears, his eyes filled with surprise.
Li Xunle said casually:
“You heard me right, I am indeed a pastor.”
Wang Ling exclaimed in surprise:
"Then how did you kill the vengeful ghost from the abyss?"
Li Xunle said dismissively:
"They were wiped out with a mere flick of the wrist, what's so surprising about that?"
Wang Ling could hardly believe it:
"I remember that vengeful ghost was incredibly ferocious and cunning, with a life value of hundreds of billions. You're just a priest..."
Li Xunle said nonchalantly:
"I don't think there's much to say about that. Let's go back to the question we were just discussing."
Upon hearing this, Wang Ling suppressed his doubts:
"Alright, let's get back to the topic. Since you're a priest, can you use a swordsman's sword to cast spells?"
"cannot."
"Similarly, the [Map of All Undead] is not used by priests..."
"..."
Li Xunle was speechless for two seconds, then smirked:
"You have to give me something in return..."
Wang Ling pondered for a long time:
"How about I give you a pet?"
What kind of pet?
"A spirit-level parrot pet."
Li Xunle frowned:
What is the purpose of a parrot?
Faced with Li Xunle's doubts, Wang Ling immediately explained:
"You don't know this, but this spirit-level parrot can sense the presence of spirit beasts within a radius of a thousand meters. It's even more sensitive than Bai Yanlang's dog nose under the White Tiger."
Li Xunle raised an eyebrow:
"Oh? You know Bai Yanlang?"
Wang Ling nodded:
"Of course I know that dog has a very sensitive nose, but as far as I know, it's not a spirit-level dog. This parrot is a true spirit-level dog."
Li Xunle asked curiously:
"Besides being able to sense the presence of spirit beasts, what other function does this parrot serve?"
Wang Ling gave a half-smile:
"It can also sense the presence of treasures at the spirit level or above. Most importantly, it can chat with you to relieve boredom."
Li Xunle's eyes flickered slightly:
"Sensing a treasure? Just chatting to pass the time?"
Wang Ling nodded and quietly looked at Li Xunle.
Li Xunle was somewhat tempted:
"Okay, then take it out and let me see. I think this one is worth considering."
Upon hearing this...
Wang Ling slowly took out a small bird egg from his backpack.
He slowly handed it to Li Xunle and said softly:
"The bird egg in my hand is a parrot egg. If you shout loudly to the parrot egg, 'A cloud in the northwest sky, a parrot falls into a flock of phoenixes,' it will turn into your own personal parrot pet."
Li Xunle took the bird egg and looked it over carefully.
A moment later.
He called out to the parrot eggs with a hint of disbelief:
"A cloud hangs in the northwestern sky, and a parrot alights among a flock of phoenixes!"
In the blink of an eye.
The parrot eggshell was covered with black cracks, and then it gradually split open...
Three seconds later.
A large, brightly colored parrot stood on Li Xunle's palm.
It swayed its body and looked at Li Xunle with a wise yet foolish gaze, as if it were carefully observing him.
at the same time.
Li Xunle also carefully observed the parrot.
The parrot has a small and delicate head, and a pair of bright black eyes that sparkle with curiosity and intelligence.
The feathers clung tightly to the body, creating a smooth, curvaceous silhouette.
The colors are vibrant, and it is indeed quite pretty.
Li Xunle immediately checked its information.
It was discovered that it was indeed a spirit-level being, and its life points were a staggering 100 billion!
That's right!
100 billion!
This greatly surprised Li Xunle.
However, to Li Xunle's surprise, the parrot's other attributes were not high, only around 10,000.
This stark contrast left him somewhat bewildered.
He looked at Wang Ling:
"So, this parrot doesn't have any fighting ability; it's just a functional pet? All show and no substance?"
Wang Ling was about to speak.
At this moment, the parrot spoke first, repeating:
"Looks good but is useless, looks good but is useless, looks good but is useless!"
As it spoke, its eyes remained fixed on Li Xunle.
This scene left Li Xunle completely taken aback.
Why does this guy sound like he's talking about himself?
Could it be that it can apply what it has learned to other situations?
Is this guy just being argumentative?
