Absolute Speed ​​of a Certain Anime

Tiona's face darkened.

A sense of crisis surged in her heart, making her look at Loki with a very unfriendly look.

"Eh? Ah... I'm just enjoying the scenery, Tiona-tan. I'm devoted to you!"

Loki came back to his senses and his expression changed several times.

Then she put on a playful smile and teased Tiona.

"Ha ha……"

Tiona's mouth twitched, revealing a smile without any smile, and she looked as if she would be crazy if she believed you.

"Ahem, okay, let's officially begin!"

After diverting Tiona's attention, Loki looked at Jiang Li in surprise. His gaze was so subtle that no one noticed.

This kid might be the most suitable member of Freya's family.

He seems to have not yet discovered his own talents, and is in a state of being covered in dust. Just this alone has made her, a god, slightly distracted. If he is handed over to Freya for training, it is really hard to imagine how terrifying he will be.

But this is quite interesting, isn't it?

Why not let this kid try it?

Let him and Freya compete with each other to see whose charm is more terrifying.

Loki thought to himself with great pleasure.

The evil god's heart is stirring.

Chapter 111: Favor from Loki

2023-06-01

Because of Tiona's call, many people had gathered in the reception room.

The Loki clan hasn't accepted any new members for a long time, and they are all very curious about what is so special about this newcomer.

"Gudong!"

"Gudong!"

For a moment, the sounds of swallowing saliva were heard one after another.

Tiona raised a tablecloth like a child protecting her own, and stood beside Jiang Li, looking at her many clan members with a wary look.

Loki: "..."

She had a premonition.

Before seeing Jiang Li and Freya compete, his own family may suffer first.

She picked up a thin needle and pierced the tip of her index finger. After the bright red blood oozed out, she stretched her finger towards Jiang Li's neck.

The moment his fingertips touched the skin, Loki's heart trembled, and then his face tightened and he tried his best to appear serious.

Then, she began to draw some special symbols with skillful movements, and the divine blood drew a special trajectory on Jiang Li's back.

If one looked closely, one would see that what Loki had depicted was actually a group of vermilion characters that resembled an inscription on a stele. It was a collection of complex characters written horizontally, looking like both a stele and a coat of arms.

That is the "sacred text" used by the gods, and few people in the lower world can understand it.

The sacred words that Loki drew on Jiang Li's back were the grace she bestowed upon him, namely, the "ability value."

That's right.

The essence of grace is <ability value>.

It is like a game, reflecting the adventurer's various abilities and possibilities in the form of clear numerical values. At the same time, it can extract the adventurer's experiences and achievements as abilities, allowing them to quickly tap into their potential that they may not be able to tap in their entire lives.

In other words, it is the quantification of abilities.

Without exception, these ability values will be engraved on the backs of the clan members. Because they are like lifelines, the main gods will never disclose this information. Even when reporting to the guild, they will only inform the level.

"Okay, it worked!"

Loki wiped the non-existent sweat from his forehead with a huff.

Then he picked up a piece of parchment and placed it on Jiang Li's back. With a slight movement of his fingers, he imprinted the ability values on Jiang Li's back onto the parchment and handed it to Jiang Li.

"Put on your clothes first!"

As soon as the process of bestowing grace was over, Tiona immediately handed Jiang Li's shirt over like an old mother.

"Ugh……"

A series of sighs suddenly rang out from all around the living room.

The beautiful girls who were looking forward to it did not see the scene they wanted to see, and each of them looked regretful.

Jiang Li, the focus of everyone's attention, now focused on the parchment in his hand and looked at it carefully.

Tiona beside her also leaned over.

Finn also looked over with a calm expression. Because he was not tall enough, he had to tilt his head slightly to see the contents of the parchment.

Jiang Li Lv.1

Strength: I (0)

Durability: I (0)

Dexterity: I (0)

Agility: I (0)

Magic: I (0)

magic:

skill:

…………

<Ability Value> is divided into three categories: basic ability, magic and skills.

Among them, the basic abilities include strength, durability, dexterity, agility and magic, which correspond to the adventurer's own physical abilities in a very simple and easy-to-understand way.

These five items have their own proficiency levels, which are divided into ten levels, represented by letters such as I, H, G...A, S, etc. Each level corresponds to its own value. For example, I corresponds to 0~99, H corresponds to 100~199, and so on. A corresponds to 800~899, and the highest level S corresponds to 900~999.

Generally speaking, the experience points gained after actual combat or training will become the resources for improving proficiency. The more frequently a project is practiced, the more proficiency in that project will increase.

"Generally speaking, the upper limit of proficiency is 999, but few people can reach this level. If you can reach D level, which is around 500 points, it's considered pretty good."

Tiona kept explaining common sense about grace to Jiang Li, and her attitude was obviously very positive.

"A beginner's basic ability is 0, but when they first receive a favor, there will be a period of rapid growth... But, your magic bar is a little strange!"

That's right.

Jiang Li also noticed this.

For some reason, there was a strikethrough in the column for his magic.

"Generally speaking, everyone has hidden magical talents. When you receive a boon, a magic slot will appear in the magic column. There will be at least one, and at most three... This is the first time I've heard of a situation where there isn't even one."

Finn, who was looking up at the parchment, couldn't help but look subtle when he saw this.

Not only was there not a single one, even the magic column was directly crossed out.

It was like saying... he had absolutely no magical talent.

"...a little biased in one subject, but it's not a big problem."

Jiang Li hesitated for a moment and said it nonchalantly.

This is a lie.

He was actually looking forward to having one or two magic spells. He really needed this kind of long-distance method that was not only cool but also powerful.

But there wasn't any.

Although I had anticipated this, I still couldn't help but feel so heartbroken that I couldn't breathe when I saw this scene.

"Ahaha, but Jiang Li, you are already a very powerful swordsman. You are just an ordinary person, but you can dodge my punches. If you also have magical talents, you will not give ordinary people a chance to survive!"

Seeing his tense expression, Tiona quickly spoke to comfort him.

"There are still many people in this world who can't use magic. It's better to say that those who can use magic are rare. Even among us, Loki's family, there are only a few who can use magic. For example, Tiona is already level 5, but she can't use magic."

Finn's face was very calm, and he didn't show any disappointment. Instead, he smiled and teased Tiona, cleverly changing the subject, which made people feel good about him.

"And, thankfully, there's nothing wrong with your skill bar. With your level, you'll definitely have powerful skills in the future."

Skills refer to abilities that can bring special effects or enhance oneself under certain conditions.

There is basically no pattern to the appearance of skills and magic. They may awaken at any time, but it is also possible that none of them will appear in a lifetime.

Fortunately, unlike magic, there is no limit to the number of skill bars. Some powerful adventurers even have more than five skills, which is considered a lot.

In Finn's opinion, Jiang Li is just an ordinary person but he is so outstanding. There is no doubt that he will have powerful skills in the future.

"I hope so."

Although Jiang Li was heartbroken, he had no choice but to accept the fact.

"So, Tiona, tell me about Jiang Li escaping from your fist."

Finn smiled kindly, looking at the Amazon girl who suddenly froze beside him with a forced smile.

"I only asked you to bring him back, didn't I? What do you think you're going to do by fighting him with your level 5 strength?"

Chapter 112 The Girl with Blond Hair and Golden Eyes

2023-06-01

early morning.

A spring breeze with a hint of chill blew slowly, causing the colorful flowers in the courtyard to sway constantly. Crystal dewdrops dripped from the stamens. The golden full moon fell from the sky, and was replaced by the dazzling sun that gradually rose from the eastern horizon.

The columnar magic stone lamps scattered around the base were manually turned off by patrolling clan members, and the warmth from the sun was driving away the chill of the night.

Jiang Li opened the bedroom window, and a gust of cold wind suddenly blew in his face, making him shiver.

"Wow, at least it's the weather around March."

He couldn't help rubbing his shoulders.

This is his room.

After he officially joined Loki's family yesterday, Finn assigned him a bedroom. It was an empty room on the fourth floor at the western end of the seven circular towers. It took him half an afternoon to clean it before it became habitable.

The bedroom is not very spacious, only about 30 or 40 square meters. Fortunately, it is a single room and is fully equipped with furniture such as wardrobes, mirrors, and beds, so you can move in with just your luggage.

There was also a portable magic stone lamp, which he had fumbled with for several minutes last night before he figured out how to use it.

After drawing open all the curtains, folding the white bed quilt, and changing into a set of sportswear, Jiang Li left the room, walked up the spiral staircase inside the tower wall to the first floor, and then walked towards the main entrance.

"Hey, Tiona, are you guarding the gate here?"

Jiang Li looked at the Amazon cliff girl who served as the gatekeeper and a warm smile appeared on his face.

"Ah, Jiang Li, it's you!"

Tiona was holding a surprisingly large double-edged sword, leaning against the iron gate, her head nodding, her face full of drowsiness.

Seeing Jiang Li coming over, she suddenly became alert and cheered up, greeting him with a bright face.

Yesterday, after learning that Tiona had gone to the ring without permission to fight Jiang Li, Finn, with a very bright smile, punished her by "guarding the door every night for three days."

That’s right, Finn didn’t actually let Tiona test Jiang Li’s strength.

The reason why Tiona went on stage to fight Jiang Li was purely out of selfish motives. Her purpose was to defeat Jiang Li and then make him fall in love with her.

"It's already daybreak, the shift reliever should be here soon. Go back and have a good rest."

After exchanging a few polite words with Tiona, Jiang Li walked out of the clan's gate.

He cares about me!
