Chapter 12

Li Xiao saw Nami hugging that Devil Fruit and giggling foolishly,

her face overflowing with happiness visible to the naked eye.

Seeing that they were about to reach Cocoyasi Village,

Li Xiao ultimately returned that Devil Fruit to her.

On one hand, it was indeed thanks to her that he could leave the isolated island smoothly,

and arrive safely at Cocoyasi Village after a day of sailing.

On the other hand,

Li Xiao truly had no desire for the Devil Fruit!

Judging from its appearance,

this Devil Fruit was not one of the powerful, special fruits from the original story,

most likely just an ordinary Zoan or Paramecia type.

At present, he had no suitable storage method,

and carrying this thing was nothing but trouble!

So,

he simply returned it to Nami.

"Stop staring, we're docking soon, hurry up and take the helm!"

"Oh, got it!"

Moments later,

the ship docked,

and the two jumped off the boat one after another.

At this moment,

Nami had already returned to her empty-handed state,

the Devil Fruit had vanished without a trace,

presumably hidden back in its old spot...

However,

Li Xiao had no mind to think of anything else at this time,

and the instant he stepped onto Cocoyasi Village,

he immediately chose to clock in!

"Ding, congratulations to the host on successful clock-in!"

"Ding, congratulations to the host on receiving the reward 【Mountain and Sea Sword Technique】"

"Ding, congratulations to the host on receiving the reward 【Spirit Gathering Pill】 *3"

"Ding, congratulations to the host on receiving the reward 【Purple Gold Exquisite Tower】"

Look!

Look!

This is what clocking in is about!

What kind of junk did they give for clocking in on that isolated island before!

They only rewarded a few Spirit Gathering Pills,

treating him like a beggar!

It made Li Xiao even once think he had obtained a hell-difficulty script!

Until now,

he finally felt relieved,

it seems the script wasn't wrong,

it must be simple difficulty without a doubt!

Li Xiao came to his senses,

and shifted his attention to the rewards obtained.

First were the three Spirit Gathering Pills,

nothing much to say about these,

they were also present in the rewards obtained from Li Xiao's first clock-in and the newbie gift pack,

after taking them, cultivation speed increases,

and the effect of each lasts for three hours.

The rewards that truly made Li Xiao care were the other two,

【Mountain and Sea Sword Technique】 and 【Purple Gold Exquisite Tower】!

Mountain and Sea Sword Technique belongs to Divine Abilities and Spells,

it is an excellent Sword Art,

every move and gesture carries the power of mountains and seas,

grand and open,

with peerless momentum,

suppressing everything!

For Li Xiao,

this Sword Art came at just the right time!

Although Li Xiao has now reached the Late Stage of Qi Transformation in his cultivation base,

in reality, he merely possesses a cultivation base in name only,

lacking any means of attack!

And the Mountain and Sea Sword Technique is a Sword Art with extremely potent offensive capabilities,

specifically designed for direct confrontation!

It perfectly compensates for this particular weakness of Li Xiao's.

Although it does not increase his cultivation base,

it greatly boosts his combat power!

Moreover,

the Mountain and Sea Sword Technique is a reward obtained from the check-in,

requiring no personal comprehension from Li Xiao,

as the system will help him master this Sword Art instantly!

Besides that,

another reward—the Purple Gold Lattice Tower—

made Li Xiao even more delighted!

This is actually a magic treasure,

and moreover, an excellent defensive magic treasure!

Although its specific power still needs testing,

according to the information provided by the system,

as long as the difference in strength is not significant,

summoning the Purple Gold Lattice Tower is enough to ensure he stands in an invincible position!

Li Xiao's current understanding of his own strength is not yet very clear,

and in this situation,

the value of an excellent defensive means is far higher than that of an offensive means!

All in all,

the Mountain and Sea Sword Technique and the Purple Gold Lattice Tower,

one for attack and one for defense,

greatly perfected Li Xiao's combat methods,

increasing his strength by more than double!

At the same time,
