Old Master, have you ever been beaten by a Pokémon?

After watching everyone leave, Liu Tianci gently pushed open the door behind him. Feng Ling rushed out happily with a teething stick in her mouth, spinning excitedly at his feet.

He bent down, picked up the furry little creature, and slowly walked towards the charcoal stove in the center of the rooftop.

The stove was piled with various ingredients, all of which were "apology gifts" purchased by those people from the 24-hour smart supermarket.

Liu Tianci smiled bitterly. Even if they were allowed to take the meat away, there was nowhere to roast it. The so-called apology was just a temporary measure to calm the situation when they saw that he had a gun in his hand.

He knew it in his heart, but he didn't say it out loud.

Fortunately, these people knew when to advance and when to retreat, and they still had a bottom line in their actions. Liu Tianci was not a person who cared about every penny, but instead gave them some money, just as if he was ordering a takeaway.

I just wonder if anyone is taking advantage of this disaster to make a fortune?

While it would take some time for the meat to be cooked, Liu Tianci started to tinker with another thing on his body.

This thing was also stolen from Lucas' arms by the scavenger. Liu Tianci had been carrying it with him all the time, and now he finally had the chance to take a closer look at it.

It was a palm-sized leather bag that was only about two centimeters thick. To be precise, it would be more appropriate to call it a handbag.

This small and exquisite handbag is quite rare in this era, and Liu Tianci couldn't help but become more curious about it.

He gently opened the delicate brass buckle on the outside of the handbag, and the contents inside the handbag immediately appeared before his eyes. Inside was a folded paper page and something that looked like a manual.

Liu Tianci first picked up the page and carefully unfolded it, only to see that it was covered with dense words. He looked closely and saw the title was "The Principle of Casting Spells Controlled by Will".

"Control by will..." Liu Tianci whispered this unfamiliar word softly, and various possible explanations flashed quickly through his mind.

"Is it hypnosis? Or psychological suggestion?" He guessed as he continued to read down.

The more he read, the tighter Liu Tianci's brows furrowed. The content described on the paper was actually a kind of magic!

And it was a strange spell that he had never heard of before.

"Hiss~" Liu Tianci took a breath of cold air, this feeling made him feel a little uncomfortable. He suddenly remembered that he had had similar feelings before, which only occurred when facing some mysterious power.

Could it be that this so-called "will-controlled spell" is also a kind of existence related to mysterious power?

A strong sense of curiosity surged in Liu Tianci's heart, and at the same time he became a little more vigilant.

Liu Tianci took a deep breath and slowly opened his system backpack. There were a variety of items in the backpack, but his eyes fell directly on the piece of paper he had seen in the sewer before.

He carefully took out the paper and examined it carefully. The material of this paper was exactly the same as the one he had seen before, as if it was torn from the same book.

"As expected," Liu Tianci muttered to himself, "these two pieces of paper must have come from the same book. I didn't expect there would be a book that records special spells."

At this moment, the system suddenly issued a prompt sound, telling him that the name of the props of the two pieces of paper was "The Fragments of the Seven Chapters of the Secret Scripture of Xuanjun".

Liu Tianci's mind moved, and he quickly put the two pieces of paper together and stuffed them into the system space. Then, he opened the manual again and glanced at it casually.

However, when he saw the contents of the manual, he was shocked. It turned out that the manual recorded the communication skills of the ghouls!

“So that’s how it is…” Liu Tianci suddenly realized, “The reason why Lucas was able to do that is because he mastered the ghoul communication technique.

He can use this spell first, using the flesh and blood of corpses as sacrifices, to summon ghouls, or to channel more powerful beings. "

Liu Tianci had no interest in this cruel and evil magic. His fighting style had basically taken shape, and he was more inclined to the path of cultivation, pursuing his own practice and growth.

"This kind of magic doesn't fit my philosophy," Liu Tianci thought, "I should just focus on my own path of cultivation."

After careful consideration, he determined the current strategic direction: to take cultivation as the main focus and integrate the skills of all other systems into it to make it a comprehensive system.

Pokémon are seen as auxiliary means. After all, they are just an external combat system and cannot be compared with cultivation.

The reason why the cultivation system was chosen as the core is because only cultivation can perfectly achieve the state of dual cultivation of magic and martial arts.

Moreover, he himself has a foundation in this area and has a certain understanding and mastery of the way of cultivation.

For Liu Tianci, learning magic is not difficult.

But he knew very well that the power system of this world was extremely strange and not only difficult to grasp, but it might also have a negative impact on his sanity.

If he delved too much into these spells, his mental state might gradually get out of control, and the result would be counterproductive.

Just as he was thinking about these questions over and over in his mind, suddenly, a crisp ringing sound came into his ears.

"Ouch~ow~"

This is the sound of the wind chimes, and it seems to be reminding Liu Tianci of something.

"Oh no! My meat!"

Liu Tianci woke up as if from a dream, and suddenly remembered that the pieces of meat given by those people were still roasting on the charcoal stove. He hurriedly got up and hurriedly put all the pieces of meat that were about to be cooked back on the plate, fearing that they would be burnt.

"Feng Ling~don't bite my fingers...eat more politely!" Liu Tianci muttered softly while carefully handing the piece of meat that was almost burnt to Feng Ling's mouth.

The little guy didn't eat anything the whole night and is now starving.

Fengling's round eyes stared at the meat in Liu Tianci's hand, and its short legs kept kicking in the air, as if urging Liu Tianci to feed it the meat quickly.

Its dark golden eyes kept shifting back and forth between Liu Tianci and the piece of meat, looking very anxious.

Liu Tianci couldn't help but laugh at Feng Ling's cute appearance. He blew gently on the piece of meat to let it cool down a little, and then slowly put it into Feng Ling's little mouth.

Fengling immediately started to eat voraciously, making a "meowing" sound from her mouth, as if saying "It's delicious".

Liu Tianci watched Feng Ling eating happily, and his mood became particularly comfortable. After he finished the barbecue, he was in an even better mood, so he opened the blue bird beside him and activated it.

The cheerful music of the bluebird suddenly filled the air. It was a song recorded by Gu Ginkgo. The melody was beautiful and pleasant, making people feel very happy.

While listening to music, Liu Tianci turned on his phone and started to contact He Ye. He wrote in the message: "Help me look for a house in the city center."

Not long after, He Ye replied: "Buy a house? Go by yourself. I don't know your taste."

Liu Tianci quickly explained: "I bought it to be the office location for our studio. Now a large number of disaster victims have poured in here, and only the inner city is relatively safe.

And, if necessary, you can stay.”

After seeing this message, He Ye immediately understood Liu Tianci's intention and replied, "Okay, boss, no problem, boss. Thank you, boss! I'll check it right away."

Ouch~ow~

Feng Ling rushed out from the side, picked up the barbecue from Liu Tianci's hand and ran towards the nest.
