Chapter 447: Chapter 224: Practicing Shared Cultivation 2
"Oh, what’s there to see about that..."
Ali clearly didn’t care about that, because a more serious problem had occurred to her.
"This inn has such good soundproofing, and there are no keys. It uses Magic Image recognition to open the doors. How am I supposed to get over here at night?"
Lin Mo thought about it and realized she had a point. The room was set with a soundproofing Barrier, so even if you knocked, you wouldn’t be able to hear it, right?
However, the inn should have a solution for this problem.
After a short while, the young lady from before returned with freshly prepared food from the kitchen.
So Lin Mo took the opportunity to ask.
"It works like this..."
The young lady smiled and replied, "If someone outside needs to see a guest in the room, there’s a special notification button outside the door. After pressing the button, the guest inside will receive an alert."
"I’ll try it!"
Ali was always full of initiative. The moment the girl finished speaking, she eagerly went outside the room and closed the door.
Then, a sound like a doorbell rang inside the room.
"That’s pretty convenient."
Lin Mo nodded in satisfaction.
In this world of Magic, they had certainly developed many convenient things using the wondrous Energy of Magic Power.
"Well, I’ll be going then. If you guests need anything, there is a service button in the room. Press it, and I’ll be over right away."
"Okay."
Lin Mo followed her gesture and saw that, indeed, there was a "button" inside the room, right next to the headboard of the bed.
This kind of button, to be specific, was probably a Magic Power-triggering device.
When pressed, it would generate a fluctuation in Magic Power, which would in turn affect the other end of the magical connection.
Although the meals from the kitchen were served individually and everyone got the same thing, they all brought their food to Lin Mo’s room to eat together.
Fortunately, the table in the room was large enough to comfortably seat all five of them.
At the dinner table, Feney seemed a little nervous.
After all, she had lived her whole life in Silver Stream City with her mother. Now that she had suddenly left Lady Beixila and come to another city, she felt quite out of place, even though she wouldn’t say it aloud.
Of course, Feney didn’t regret her choice. Even if she could go back a few days, she would still leave with Lin Mo without a second thought.
"Um... it’s getting late. Everyone should go back and get some rest."
As dinner was winding down, Ali stood up and reminded everyone.
Lena and Feney didn’t think much of it, but Shefilya’s gaze fell on the Little Wolf Girl, and she subtly curled her lip.
’Shameless wolf.’
She complained silently in her heart but didn’t say anything, standing up to leave with her young miss.
For the next couple of days, she had more important things to do. Miss Feney had just left her hometown and must be having a hard time adjusting. Shefilya needed to spend more time with her.
So, one by one, everyone left the room, including Ali.
Of course, less than five minutes later, she was back.
"You’ve already bathed? That was fast..."
Lin Mo opened the door and asked, a bit puzzled.
"Not yet. I came here to wash up."
Ali said as she slipped into the room. She turned to close the door and walked straight into the bathroom.
Naturally, she didn’t bother pulling the curtain. The Little Wolf Girl brazenly stripped off her clothes, letting the hot water cascade over her body.
...
Lin Mo’s fists clenched.
This behavior was a blatant Taunt.
It seemed that old saying was true: spare the rod and spoil the child.
The past week on the road had made this Little Wolf Girl forget the times she had pitifully begged for mercy. It was time to give her a good ’loosening of the hide’.
...
As it turned out, even with Skills helping Ali constantly raise her Attributes, her stats were still far too low compared to Lin Mo’s.
She was stubborn at first, but after just a little while, she was already muttering nonsense, her words slurred.
Perhaps because of the soundproofing Barrier, she was even less restrained than usual, her sonorous voice echoing throughout the room.
[Shared Cultivation] Skill Level +1
[Shared Cultivation] Skill Level +1
...
After evolving into a new Skill, the leveling speed seemed to have slowed down again.
Trying to get it to Level 2 in a single night seemed a bit difficult.
However, compared to the original [Cultivator Companion], the [Shared Cultivation] Skill should have an enhanced effect.
But as for the specific effects, he would probably have to wait until tomorrow to find out...
As for now, Ali, whose eyes were already rolling back, was clearly in no condition to give an answer.
Unfortunately, the additional effect of the evolved [Shared Cultivation] had yet to show any obvious results; Lin Mo hadn’t learned any of Ali’s Skills.
’Then again, the skill description itself did say ’a small probability,’’ he thought. ’Things like this can’t be rushed. With more attempts later, I’m bound to get a skill for free eventually.’
----------
The next morning, Lin Mo woke up a little earlier than usual.
Although he hadn’t slept much while traveling the past few days, with his current Constitution, he didn’t need much sleep to recover as long as he wasn’t in any intense battles.
Ali seemed to be in good shape too, recovering surprisingly quickly. She must have gotten a random boost to her Constitution Attribute yesterday.
He did some brief stretches. According to Ali, subjectively, the effect of [Shared Cultivation] was indeed a cut above [Cultivator Companion].
’I’ll have to keep working hard and practice more to help her raise her strength even faster.’
With Lin Mo’s current strength, if he were to take on any rather difficult quests, no one besides Shefilya would be of any help.
Of course, being new here, Lin Mo didn’t plan on taking any risks.
He decided to take on some safer quests first to get used to the new environment and lifestyle.
Before that, he needed to make a trip to an Adventurer Group. It was time to say hello to an old friend.
After washing up and eating breakfast, Lin Mo led the group out of the inn and headed toward the northwestern part of the city.
Fajade City was indeed a massive city. The Qingfeng Inn that Lin Mo had chosen was, like the Adventurer Groups, located in a high-end area within the Adventurer District. Even so, this small section for high-end Adventurers still spanned over a hundred square kilometers.
Since they weren’t in a hurry, and they had a slower member like Feney in their party, it took them more than half an hour to finally reach their destination.
They crossed an Adventurer Street, followed an alley all the way to the end, and the view suddenly opened up before them.
Like a residential complex from Blue Star, a large area was enclosed by a fence. Above the main gate was a painting of a golden Lion.
The famous Lion Adventurer Group of Fajade City was located here.
"Quite impressive..."
But that was to be expected. Based on his impression from their first meeting, although he didn’t know the leader’s specific strength, he could tell from his powerful aura alone that the Lion Adventurer Group’s leader was no weaker than Chairman Vick.
In other words, a true Elite Level Professional.
He was probably still a ways off from Flora’s level, but he might even be a little stronger than Chairman Vick.
And it wasn’t just the leader; the strength of the other members couldn’t be underestimated either. After all, when they were dealing with those Undead Creatures, they had made it look easy, with almost no one getting injured.
"Excuse me, folks. This is the Lion Adventurer Group’s territory. We’re not open to outside visitors at the moment."
When they reached the main gate, they were stopped by the Adventurer standing guard.
Compared to the formal Guards at the city gate, these Adventurers were clearly just taking turns watching the door. They weren’t professionals, so their tone was more down-to-earth.
Of course, this was just their personality; there was no ill intent.
So Lin Mo didn’t mind. He smiled and explained, "I’m a friend of your leader. I’m here to see him about something..."
