Chapter 3

2. Unexpected Visitor

The previous game panel was on the screen, but now, it was floating in front of Li Ang.

He reached out and couldn't touch them. No matter where he looked, these panels could be displayed. They wouldn't pass through objects and be blocked by other things, which showed that they were displayed directly in his mind, not floating in the air.

Ten years might be a fleeting moment for some, but for Li Ang, who had experienced long adventures, it was very long.

He was already completely unfamiliar with how to operate a game interface.

Slightly uneasy and expectant, he cautiously swiped these panels. After a long while, he basically mastered their operation methods.

The whole world seemed to have been annotated. Once his gaze fell on something, various information could emerge.

For example, a common herb nearby.

【Calm Flower】

【A flower that blooms while being nourished by the earth】

【Rank: 1】

【Spirituality: Calms the mind, relieves pain, assists healing】

【Usage: Herb, Alchemy, Spellcasting Material】

And a dark blue stone on the river beach.

【Water Mist Stone】

【A gemstone produced by condensing the essence of water】

【Rank: 1】

【Spirituality: Preserves water elements】

【Usage: Equipment Manufacturing (can be smelted), Alchemy, Spellcasting Material】

Can Water Mist Stone be smelted? Won't the water elements run away?

Some of the information given by the panel was what he had long known, and some he hadn't even thought of, and these pieces of information previously required him to experiment to obtain.

Just as Li Ang wanted to see other panels of the system, footsteps sounded on the road outside the house.

He looked toward the outside of the house, and a slender figure hopped toward the hut.

Usually, no one would come to the forest where he lived.

He stared at the visitor and found that it was a girl.

She looked to be fifteen or sixteen years old, not tall, but her figure was slender and well-proportioned. Her chestnut, slightly curly shoulder-length hair bounced lightly with her steps, looking full of vitality.

Perhaps because she often faced the warm sun of the Floss airspace, her delicate, snow-white skin, which should have been naturally beautiful, was wrapped in a healthy flush, and her exquisite face also had a touch of profound charm because of this.

Her dress showed signs of age because it had been washed white, and the edges were slightly deformed, but it set off her long neck, tight shoulders, and slender yet powerful arms and legs.

She is...

Li Ang noticed that this was not an ordinary village girl, and of course, it wasn't just her stunning beauty, but also the protective gear she wore.

Her right shoulder to arm was covered with light armor that was easy to move in, and its metal matte was deep, looking extraordinary.

And the rounded knees under the skirt hem and a section of snow-white calves were tucked into dark brown leather boots. Compared to the deformation of the clothes, these boots could be seen to have been worn for a long time, but the marks on the surface were not because the boots were damaged, but just because they were not cleaned diligently.

The girl also had a scabbard hanging from her waist, and the curves of the hilt and guard also looked like they had been carefully crafted.

Are there such people on this island?

Satutus Island is a typical rural place. It covers an area of about 4,000 hectares and has no precious resources, so there is only one village located in the flat area, self-sufficient.

And Li Ang's hut was built in the mountainous forest on the other side of the island. He had just transmigrated at that time, his physical fitness was not good, and he couldn't walk too far, so he survived in the wilderness on the spot, and it took a long time to find a village on the other side of the island.

Li Ang had very little communication with the islanders. He knew them because their lives were monotonous and they had no desire to explore. It took a lot of effort to finally leave Satutus Island.

Could it be that there were some changes on the island in the ten years I was away?

Li Ang was puzzled, and the girl also came to the front of the house and met him face to face.

"Ah." She was startled first, her voice crisp, and the ending soft.

"Who!"

The girl's eyebrows furrowed, as if she was resentful, or perhaps she was just frightened.

At this time, a panel was also presented in front of Li Ang, showing the girl's information.

【Name: Zoey】

【Race: Unknown】

【Profession: Swordsman, Rank 2.】

【Summon Beast:?】

【Energy Source:?】

【Equipment: Sinking Steel Armguard, Rank 3. Wasteland Beast Leather Boots, Rank 3. Wind-Breath Sword (Treasure), Rank 3.】

【Mystery: Professional Mystery - Gale Continuous Slash】

【Skill: Swordsman (Strong Physique, Morale Rise)】

A Rank 2 swordsman? Rank 3 equipment? Treasure weapon?

Li Ang was really surprised this time.

In this world, the power of all individuals is limited by the rules of the world, and the maximum can only reach Rank 10.

This is not a world where one practices Qi and true essence in the body, where great power belongs to oneself, and one can move mountains and fill seas.

High-rank professionals master "skills," which is the depth of the use of magic power.

To achieve powerful destructive power, besides the professional skills being strong, one must also rely on the cooperation of summon beasts, energy sources, and equipment.

Every 3 ranks is a realm with qualitative change, and within the realm, there is only a quantitative increase.

Rank 1-3 belongs to the Mortal Realm.

The weapons forged by civilians in this world, if they are relatively inferior, have no rank at all.

Ordinary militia and soldiers can only use Rank 1 equipment with weak magic power, which is very sturdy and can destroy things without magic protection.

The vast majority of adventurers in the cloud sea use Rank 2 equipment, which just has better performance than Rank 1 and may not wear out for many years.

Only veterans who have achieved certain achievements use Rank 3. As the highest rank of the Mortal Realm, the hardness at the material level has reached its peak, and equipment above that will have peculiar functions.

Even some adventurers who have stepped into the Rank 4 Transcendent Realm and can use energy devices are still using Rank 3 equipment.

The girl in front of him is too young, and she is on such an island without any foundation, yet she possesses Rank 3 equipment.

That's all, the more outrageous thing is that treasure weapon...

"Why are you in my house?" the girl asked.

Li Ang came back to his senses, looked behind him, and then looked at the girl in front of him.

"Your house?"

"Yeah, this is my secret base."

The girl walked to the front, akimbo, looking up at Li Ang, the stranger, with a bit of curiosity in her eyes.

"This is my home."

Li Ang touched the wooden wall and smiled. The wood that covered the house, the dry grass and mud that filled the gaps, were all pieced together by himself bit by bit.

"Your home? What are you talking about? Before I came, no one lived in this house. Ah, could it be..."

The girl was a little unhappy at first, but as she spoke, she seemed to realize something herself.

"A house always has an owner, and this owner has returned now." Li Ang said.

No wonder he felt that the house was strange. It wasn't strange that the forest hut didn't have dust, because it was relatively humid here, but it didn't have mold or moss either. He also felt that some things in the house were not there before.

It turned out that someone had lived here, and it was the girl in front of him.

He sized her up, but the girl stepped back unconsciously.

"My name is Li Ang."

Li Ang took the initiative to introduce himself.

The house was his own, so he definitely had to take it back, but the house was well-maintained. From this perspective, he had to thank her, so he showed a friendly attitude.

However, the girl pursed her lips, didn't say anything, turned around while stepping back, and ran away quickly.
