My Adventure Diary of Reincarnating as a Bad Woman

Experience is rich. Wolf Shadow is a level 10 monster with average strength, so it only provides 10000 experience. However, the Warrior class has a 10% experience bonus, which gives a lot of extra development.

So far, Noita has accumulated more than 16900 experience points.

It takes 500 experience points to upgrade from level 1 to level 2, and 750 experience points to upgrade from level 2 to level 3. In the first 30 levels, the experience points required for each level up are 1.5 times that of the previous level.

Her current experience points are enough to reach level 8 in one go, allowing her to obtain many useful professional abilities.

You can also upgrade a skill to a higher level by using some skill levels.

The experience required to upgrade a skill increases gradually based on the experience spent on learning the skill. If you are extremely talented, you can upgrade naturally without the help of experience points.

Noita's eyes lingered between the professional level and the skill level, unable to make a decision.

The opportunity was fleeting. After his injuries were healed, Noita closed the log and decided not to upgrade.

Not urgent!

The perfect physique is still optimizing the body, improving basic values, and the psychic power is also gradually increasing. There are many places where the experience points can be used, so save them first!

The battle between the fire elementals and the swamp continues.

The collision between water and fire was extremely fierce, but the swamp had the home advantage. Although the vegetation was ignited, the abundant water resources gave it the upper hand.

The fire element gradually lost its strength and showed signs of decline.

But Noita felt that things were not that simple.

Unstable Fire Element

[Elemental Life, Unstable, Self-Destruct]

[A temporary elemental lifeform created by the implosion of a large number of fire elemental particles. It is unstable, has a hot temper, and may explode at any time.]

The fire element will self-destruct with considerable power.

After estimating the distance, Noita moved away from the water and fire battlefield to avoid being accidentally injured by the explosion.

Noita didn't have to wait too long. After a few minutes, a fire element that had shrunk to only one person's height couldn't bear it anymore and exploded on the spot and in the swamp.

A loud bang like a bolt from the blue shook the earth, and a heat wave rolled over, evaporating the flowing water and creating a dry area with a radius of seven meters.

The other two fire elements followed closely behind and exploded soon after.

The successive explosions caused severe damage to the swamp structure, and the subsequent water flow became much thinner.

The successive explosions hit the structure of the nest, slowing down the speed at which it absorbed the power of the earth veins. If there were no further attacks, it would recover in a week to half a month and produce monsters again.

Seeing that the matter was settled, Noita walked into the nest.

She planned to collect the rest of the nest's output and then destroy it.

This is about the Shadow and Winter Lair. All the materials collected along the way are shadow-attribute materials. The most precious one is the Bubble Stone, which can replace all magical materials after processing.

Shadows and uncertainty are elements of the Path of Shadows. Where its influence persists, there is a chance that Shadow Stone or something with a similar effect will be generated.

Noita walked deep into the swamp and suddenly stepped on a thin layer of ice.

Silence fell quietly, and the temperature dropped as they moved forward. When Noita reached the depths, the temperature had reached below zero.

After passing through a lush swamp with water plants, Noita suddenly saw a pure white figure standing quietly on top of a pale rock.

Just looking at it makes you feel that the colors are fading and the end is approaching.

What is gone returns.

【…】

A professional who walks the path of winter, and is also an undead.

It was silent, thinking quietly about its inner thoughts. Perhaps its heart was as pale and colorless as its appearance. It just stood there, thinking nothing.

Noita weighed each other's strengths.

If the nest is destroyed, it will inevitably affect this undead. If it is disturbed, will it choose to retaliate?

Noita couldn't be sure, and she didn't want to take the gamble.

An undead whose mere existence carries such a strong winter influence is an enemy she is currently unable to deal with.

Bad luck.

Noita thought about what happened today and prepared to leave.

However, as she moved, the pale figure glanced at her.

Calm and peaceful, as if from another world.

Noita suddenly felt as if he had fallen into an icy cave. The cold aura seeped into his blood vessels and ran through them along with his hot blood.

In a trance, she heard the subtle movement of the icy air.

You are being observed.

A person whose time has come but who has returned, sees the light of day again, but remains unmoved. He awaits peace. Winter represents purity, disappearance, remembrance, decay, the end, and peace.

The log refreshed with information, and Noita shivered with cold and retreated along the same path.

The undead watched her go.

The latest message in the log was a hint, but Noita felt the hint was not clear enough. She hoped to exchange her experience for more accurate hints about the undead.

The log noticed her strong thoughts, and three thousand experience points burned instantly.

The tranquility of the moonlight and the tacit consent of the earth all speak of one thing: a returnee who did not want to return has been resurrected. It will allow all processes and accept all outcomes.

【It is indifferent to everything that leads to its destruction, you can let it go. 】

Chapter 29: The Fragment of the Silence Technique

——You can let go and act.

This sentence carries more weight than you might imagine.

With just one glance, Noita came up with dozens of usage plans.

If you offer this person to Miaoletian, you will definitely get unexpected rewards.

It’s a pity that I can’t do it.

The Winter People await their end, their ultimate goal being to return to the realm of Snow White, the Winter God, and enjoy eternal peace. Sacrificing it to other gods would force it to fight with them, and no matter how indifferent they remain, it will eventually explode and harm others.

One idea after another was picked up and discarded by Noita.

The uncertainty of the situation made her hesitate and unable to make up her mind.

In the end, Noita decided to destroy the swamp as planned. She had to restrain herself from branching out.

Three burning hearts were flung out and exploded in various places in the nest.

The heat that twisted the air and the flames that baked the swamp set everything on track.

Noita exited the lair, recording these events in her journal. Three deafening cracks echoed as she sensed the lair's structure collapsing. While the swamp still existed, it was already a spent force. The structural collapse severed its connection to the leyline's power. No longer capable of producing magical beasts, it would crumble over time.

The ghost on top of the white stone felt the nest pulling on it and breaking it. It laughed silently and cast a blessing glance at the girl who caused all this.

It then dived towards the earth and fell into the depths of the earth's veins.

At a certain moment, it seemed as if the severe winter had arrived, and a cold current swept through the mountains and forests, freezing the fire burning the earth.

The swamp suddenly turned into a crystal clear ice sculpture, and the rising water vapor transformed into ice mist of various shapes, reflecting the sunlight and making the swamp as bright as noon.

The breathtaking beauty created in this moment is awe-inspiring.

Noita captured this beautiful scene in his diary, saved it, and then looked through the log messages.

The Messenger of Winter returns to the earth with the collapse of its nest, and it finds peace. You receive a gift: 6000 experience, Silence (fragmented)

Noita was rarely silent.

The experience is easy to understand. When the nest is destroyed, people nearby can absorb the power of the earth veins transformed by the nest and turn it into their own strength.

But the art of silence is a supreme skill.

The game text says that the art of silence is the footnote and full stop of winter. It explains the true meaning of winter and contains the secret of the path of winter when the snow rises.

Even if it was just a fragment, it was still extremely valuable. If it were placed before a professional, it could even tempt a Transcendent-level professional to switch to the Path of Winter.

——The instant silence spell of the Shadow of the Quiet Forest is a variant of a small skill within the silence spell.

Why did the ghost give this to me?

Noita couldn't understand.

The fragments of the Silence Technique were saved in the log. Noita tried to learn it, but was told that it would require 100,000 experience points.

Serious lack of experience.

She curled her lips in dissatisfaction, then dragged the wolf king's body down the mountain.

The art of silence is already like meat in the pot. It will be cooked once the firewood is in place. There is no need to rush.

At the foot of the mountain, the villagers marveled at the size of the wolf king and were even more shocked by Noita's bravery.

With the beast now eliminated, the villagers decided to hold a banquet to celebrate the returning hero. However, Noita refused to stay and decided to leave. She asked the villagers to pay the balance, asked for a tow truck, and hauled the wolf king's body all the way to the Adventurer's Guild to collect the villagers' deposit.

The total amount was 154 gold coins, pitifully small, barely enough to cover the cost of Noita buying the Burning Heart.

——The price of a Burning Heart is twenty-five gold coins.

Fortunately, the adventurers who were ready to take on these missions mainly made money from the extra income of the lair. The wolf king's corpse could be used as a material for first-level potions. After some bargaining, it was sold to the association for 750 gold coins.

Noita kept the Bubble Stone for herself and sold the other magic materials for eighty-two gold coins.

The Blazing Heart and the final freeze had caused so much damage to the nest that she didn't have time to collect many materials.

The profit from conquering a small nest is between 1500 and 5000 gold coins. If you tame the nest and operate it for a long time like Serkar, you can get higher profits.

Judging by monetary gain, Noita made a small profit. But if you factor in experience points and the Silence spell, she made a huge profit.

After processing the harvest, Noita returned to Adele's house.

Noita returned early today, so the house was empty. She grabbed a few snacks to replenish her energy and headed to the other nests.

After traveling back and forth to several locations, the girl finally found an unconquered lair. This time, the lair was normal, without any strange interference. The monster within was a mechanical monster with a hard shell, capable of breathing fire and performing electric shocks. The lair's specialty was a magical orb, which Noita carefully sensed and found to be unsuitable for her.

The girl destroyed the monsters efficiently, dismantled their nests, collected the materials, and then transported them to the association to sell.

The whole journey takes half an hour.

By the time the new commission was completed, dusk was approaching.

Adele had just walked through the hallway when Noita returned home.

Hearing the noise, Adele turned around and asked, "Noita, what should we call each other?"

"We" refers to the name of the community self-defense organization she has formed, and Adele wants to give the naming rights to Noita.

Noita suggested: "Security Brigade?"

Adele sneered: "Be serious!"

"The Pious Union."

This name was better than the previous one. Adele frowned and hesitated: "It still seems a bit bad?"

Noita threw out another name: "Muse Fan Rally."

"No, this one won't do, just go for the next one!"

Adele's last name is Muse, and she couldn't bring herself to use her own last name as a name. It would be too disrespectful to those who are willing to work together to protect the community.

Noita leaned back in her chair and laughed happily.

It's fun to tease Adele every now and then.

During dinner, Noita and Adele talked about the situation outside the city, focusing on the proliferation of nests and monsters. She was trying to warn her not to go outside the city easily. With her current strength, she still had a chance to win the fight against humans, but if she was attacked by monsters, it would be a matter of life and death.

After hearing the news, Adele sighed worriedly.

She told Noita that many people in Community No. 7 worked as breeders and miners in the nest, and there were several members of the Pious Union working in the nest.

A friend of hers was attacked by a lair monster before she was pulled into the Federation, but luckily she survived.

"Things are unpredictable. Ask your friend to be more careful at work. If possible, have him befriend his supervisor to avoid being sent to dangerous areas."

"Ah."
