The primary food source for us vampires is still blood, alright? Our skills lean heavily in that direction, and souls are just an added bonus. Plus, I heard that only a very small fraction of the vampires in the Supreme Council have awakened this kind of skill.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"To put it in terms of novel or mythological settings, generally only Earl-level vampires would have a skill like this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>High Priestess defended the vampire race's reputation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She absolutely refused to let her race be stigmatized.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, does that mean a vampire's power level is completely fixed from the moment of their awakening?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have no idea. We'll have to wait until there are more vampires or until our personal levels increase to find out.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>High Priestess shrugged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Afterward, the group continued to discuss the battle that had just taken place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had all been lone wolves before, but now that they were working as a team, they naturally needed to coordinate their tactics.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Normally, this kind of discussion would happen after engaging the monsters and fighting a wave or two to test the waters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Gu Xiaobei's utterly absurd monster-pulling technique had nearly given everyone a heart attack, entirely robbing them of that opportunity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Even so, when you all heard the word 'dungeon', you definitely adopted a gamer's mindset, didn't you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But the problem is, whether we admit it or not, we are currently in a magical world. Therefore, these dungeons are undeniably real.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Things like the environment might just be fake lines of zeroes and ones in a video game, but here, they actually exist.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I admit I was a bit hasty earlier, but I wouldn't call it impulsive. We call that efficiency.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Think about how massive this dungeon is. If we fought our way in one by one, it would take at least a full day. Now, we've directly saved over ten hours.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When addressing the issue of her previous actions, Gu Xiaobei actually ended up schooling everyone else instead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was true.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Almost everyone had entered with a gamer's mentality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or rather, they had come in with the heavily game-oriented concept of \"leveling up.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Gu Xiaobei was also here to level up, perhaps it was precisely because she acted more like a gamer than anyone else that she could better distinguish the difference between a game and reality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Point taken.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It certainly opens up a new direction for clearing dungeons.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Praise the Emperor!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Praise the Emperor!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Since things have come to this, let's eat first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Xiaobei felt a little embarrassed by the sudden praise. She raised her hands to motion for them to calm down before changing the subject.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A meal was definitely necessary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The thirty-minute buff provided by their breakfast had expired long ago, and after over three hours of combat, they were both exhausted and starving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And all of that was without even truly stepping \"inside\" the dungeon yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heaven only knew how many more monsters were waiting for them inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although setting that massive fire had wiped out roughly three or four thousand enemies, Lan Qingyou had previously mentioned there were \"several thousand.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nine thousand also counted as \"several thousand.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Furthermore, Li Huai had mentioned that the raging inferno had probably only burned about a third of the area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, it was best to rest and regroup immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"By the way, Gu Xiaobei, come with me to my place after we finish the dungeon.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lan Qingyou dropped this sudden request while they were eating, prompting the others, who had been completely focused on their delicious food, to look up at her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their eyes were filled with knowing looks that screamed, 'We totally get it.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Xiaobei instantly became a bit fidgety, squirming in her seat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This... Boss Lan, I don't think that's a good idea. Do you have a cat at home? The kind that can do backflips?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Realizing that this bunch had let their minds wander straight into the gutter, Lan Qingyou couldn't help but curse, rolling her eyes at everyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What is going through your heads? I just want to ask for a favor using her racial talent.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After witnessing Gu Xiaobei's ability to make plants grow wildly, Lan Qingyou had already thought of enlisting her help.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hahahaha!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Lan Qingyou's explanation, everyone burst into laughter, instantly filling the dock with a cheerful atmosphere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah! Oh! A favor, that's no problem at all. What kind of favor?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Xiaobei's small face flushed red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I harvested some branches back when we fought the ancient tree. Although I've planted them, they are growing too slowly. I need your ability to help speed up their maturation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Holy crap! Doesn't that mean we'll have an endless supply of sap to use!?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lan Qingyou's words immediately stirred up everyone's excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although they had all obtained sap and gained extra skills from it, who would ever complain about having too much of a good thing?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was especially true for those who planned to cultivate subordinates in the future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This stuff would serve as an excellent reward for them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if they didn't use it to reward subordinates, trading it with others for materials or items would be highly profitable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Lan Qingyou shattered their dreams with a single sentence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Unfortunately, those branches aren't from the ancient tree. They belong to a guardian-type monster known as the War Dryad.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What a letdown.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Got our hopes up for nothing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone was overwhelmingly disappointed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But Boss Lan, even though a Tree Elf's talent can make plants grow rapidly, it can only be used once per plant, and the growth is limited. In Empress's words, it can boost a plant's growth period by roughly three months in a single burst.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three months. That felt like enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Knowing that a skill like this was bound to have restrictions, Lan Qingyou didn't feel too disappointed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, if a skill like that could be spammed continuously, its rating would undoubtedly be S++.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then how do Empress and her people manage their crops? I remember they had a harvest in just one month back then.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since they were on the topic of Empress Jiang Lan, Lan Qingyou decided to ask in passing, as she was genuinely curious about it herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the other party had a method, she wouldn't mind digging up the War Dryads and handing them over for Jiang Lan's group to foster for a while.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That boils down to the land itself. The place where Empress stays is called the Cursed Corridor, a location cursed by time. Anyone who goes there ages rapidly. Empress just took advantage of that specific trait to farm there.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Magician chimed into the conversation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As part of the \"first batch\" to join Tarot Manor, he was quite familiar with Jiang Lan's situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Gasp—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing how incredibly harsh the natural conditions were in Jiang Lan's region, everyone couldn't help but gasp in shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is she alright?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Xiaobei asked with a worried expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That woman was currently her only source of cooking ingredients; nothing bad could happen to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She is fine. At the very least, she is perfectly safe inside her Shelter and its area of protection. Because of this exact reason, the people in their region almost never go outside, making their death toll the lowest among all the regions.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1273,"2026-06-05T21:58:31.955Z",1,"novelbin.me","91b1845143518dd98dbb3f8d2c152e805da08d48da14c80f3d14d032fe31a094","global-survival-the-tower-witch-with-an-e-rank-t-chapter-219","global-survival-the-tower-witch-with-an-e-rank-t-chapter-217",965,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fglobal-survival-the-tower-witch-with-an-e-rank-t-cover.jpg"]
