The Unexpected Visitor\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Previously, the game interface was on a screen, but now, it floated before Li Ang’s eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could not touch them with his hands; no matter where he looked, these panels would appear. They did not pass through objects or get blocked by other things, which meant they were displayed directly in his mind rather than floating in the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ten years might be a fleeting moment to some, but for Li Ang, who had experienced a long adventure, it felt very long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was completely out of practice with how to operate a game interface.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With slight trepidation and anticipation, he cautiously swiped through these panels, and only after a good while did he basically master how to operate them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire world seemed to have been annotated; as soon as his gaze fell upon something, various pieces of information would emerge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For example, a common herb nearby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Peacebloom]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[A flower that blooms while nourished by the earth]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Tier: 1]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Spirituality: Calms the mind, soothes pain, assists in healing]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Usage: Herb, Alchemy, Spellcasting Material]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was also a dark blue stone on the riverbank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Mist-Water Stone]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[A gemstone produced by condensing the essence of water]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Tier: 1]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Spirituality: Preserves water elements]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Usage: Equipment Crafting (can be smelted), Alchemy, Spellcasting Material]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mist-Water Stone can be smelted? Wouldn't the water element escape?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some of the information provided by the panels was what he already knew, while some he hadn't even thought of, and in the past, he would have needed to experiment himself to obtain such information.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Li Ang wanted to look at the other system panels, footsteps sounded on the path outside the house.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked toward the outside, and a slender figure came hopping toward the small house.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Usually, no one would ever come to this patch of forest where he lived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He fixed his gaze on the visitor and discovered it was a young girl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked to be fifteen or sixteen years old, not tall, but with a slender and well-proportioned figure. Her chestnut-colored, slightly curly shoulder-length hair bounced lightly with her steps, making her appear full of vitality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps because she often faced the warm sun of the Floss airspace, her naturally delicate, snow-white skin was tinged with a healthy flush, which also added a touch of profound charm to her exquisite face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her dress looked old and washed-out, with the edges slightly deformed, but this instead highlighted her long neck, tight shoulders, and slender yet powerful arms and legs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She is...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Ang noticed that this was no ordinary village girl; of course, he didn't just mean her stunning beauty, but also the protective gear she wore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From her right shoulder to her arm, she was covered in light armor designed for mobility, its matte metal deep and of seemingly extraordinary quality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her rounded knees below the hem of her skirt and a section of snow-white calves were tucked into dark brown leather boots. Compared to the deformation of her clothes, it was clear these boots had also been worn for a long time, but the marks on the surface were not from damage, merely from a lack of diligent cleaning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl also had a scabbard hanging at her waist, and the curves of the hilt and guard also looked like they had been meticulously crafted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Are there people like this on this island?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Satus Island was a typical rural place, covering about four thousand hectares with no rare resources, so there was only one village located in the flatlands, self-sufficient.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Ang’s small house was built in the mountainous forest on the other side of the island. When he first transmigrated, his physical condition was poor and he couldn't walk very far, so he survived in the wilderness on the spot, only discovering the village on the other side of the island after a long time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Ang had little interaction with the islanders, knowing them to be people with monotonous lives and no desire for exploration; it had even taken some effort for him to eventually leave Satus Island.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could it be that there were changes on the island during the ten years I was away?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Li Ang was wondering, the girl arrived in front of the house and came face-to-face with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah.\" She was startled at first, her voice crisp with a soft trailing note.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl’s eyebrows furrowed, seemingly indignant, or perhaps she was just frightened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, a panel also appeared before Li Ang, displaying the girl’s information.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Name: Zoe]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Race: Unknown]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Profession: Swordsman, Tier 2.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Summoned Beast: ?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Energy Source: ?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Equipment: Sinking Steel Bracer, Tier 3.

Tier 3 equipment? A treasure weapon?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Ang was truly surprised now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this world, the power of all individuals was limited by the world’s rules, with a maximum of Tier 10.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was not a world where one could refine Qi or True Essence within the body, where great power belonged to oneself, or where one could move mountains and fill seas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>High-tier professionals mastered \"techniques,\" which was the depth of their application of magic power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To achieve great destructive power, besides having strong professional techniques, one also relied on the coordination of three aspects: summoned beasts, energy sources, and equipment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every 3 tiers constituted a realm with a qualitative change; within a realm, there was only an increase in magnitude.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tiers 1–3 belonged to the mortal realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Weapons crafted by commoners in this world, if of poor quality, didn't even have a tier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ordinary militia and soldiers could only use Tier 1 equipment imbued with weak magic power; it was sturdy and could destroy things without magic protection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The vast majority of adventurers in the Cloud Sea used Tier 2 equipment, which was simply better in performance than Tier 1 and might not wear out for many years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only veterans who had achieved a certain level used Tier 3. As the highest tier of the mortal realm, its material hardness had reached its peak; equipment beyond this would possess peculiar functions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some adventurers who had stepped into the Tier 4 transcendent realm and could use energy devices were still using Tier 3 equipment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl before him was too young, and she was on such an island without any foundation, yet she possessed Tier 3 equipment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was one thing, but what was even more outrageous was that treasure weapon...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why are you in my house?\" the girl asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Ang came back to his senses, looked behind him, and then at the young girl before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your house?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah, this is my secret base.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl walked up to him, hands on her hips, looking up at Li Ang, the stranger, with a hint of curiosity in her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is my home.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Ang touched the wooden wall and smiled; the wood used to build the house, and the hay and mud used to fill the gaps, were all things he had pieced together bit by bit himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your home? What are you talking about? Before I came, no one lived in this house. Ah, could it be...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl had been a bit unhappy, but as she spoke, she seemed to realize something herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A house always has an owner, and this owner has now returned,\" Li Ang said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No wonder he felt something was strange about the house. It wasn't strange that the forest cabin had no dust, as it was quite humid here, but it also hadn't grown mold or moss, and there were some things inside the house that he felt weren't there before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It turned out someone had lived here, and it was this girl before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked her over, and the girl subconsciously took a step back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My name is Li Ang.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Ang took the initiative to introduce himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The house was his, and he certainly had to take it back, but the house had been kept quite well. From this perspective, he should thank her, so he adopted a friendly attitude.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the girl pursed her lips and said nothing; she turned around while backing away and ran off quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>",1390,"2026-06-21T01:23:38.712Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","1c0938b8ce5acb4c78e3bb258de3aaa786ca5e484890339cb018193913fe5d9e","kicked-out-of-the-party-then-i-picked-up-a-probl-chapter-4","kicked-out-of-the-party-then-i-picked-up-a-probl-chapter-2",496,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fkicked-out-of-the-party-then-i-picked-up-a-probl-cover.jpg"]
