Over the next two days, Li Ang's three teammates successfully acquired the third, fourth, and fifth shards of the magic mirror from three churches, activating more of its special effects.

[Effect: Air Purification. Cleanses impurities (such as dust, bloodstains, garbage, and negative emotions of individual lifeforms) within a 1,000-meter radius for three minutes. No cost, ten-minute cooldown.]

[Effect: Fear Projection. Distorts the wearer's image in the eyes of other observers, inducing fear. Lasts one minute, no cost, one-hour cooldown.]

[Effect: Futile Prophecy. By touching the mirror, the user can have it predict their probability of dying within the next 24 hours, as well as the percentage breakdown of various causes of death. No cost, seventy-two-hour cooldown.]

The first magic mirror effect was Remote Sensing, which could sense the location of other mirror shards. The second effect was Energy Detection, which could locate spellcasters.

Compared to the first two mirror shards, the latter three had significantly enhanced effects.

In particular, the effect of [Futile Prophecy] could even predict the probability of death and various causes of death within the next day.

If used properly, it could serve as a prophetic tool for detecting danger in advance.

In addition to the three magic mirror shards, the players had additional gains.

John Joyce and others collected some relatively scarce magic potion seeds, as well as various magic potion recipes and materials, from secret sects through bartering.

They themselves wanted to collect knowledge related to the extraordinary power system of this world and sell it back to the real world at a high price.

However, their gains were not as great as Li Ang's. He was now living in the governor's mansion as an "Oriental monk and surgeon," collecting some of the mansion's books related to magic potions.

Some of these books came from the mansion's private library, and some came from the personal collections of spellcasters hired by the governor.

Li Ang could borrow the former at will.

As for the latter, Li Ang also had a way—he claimed to possess mysterious Oriental powers and could sell surgical procedures to completely change people's appearances through cosmetic surgery.

Li Ang first publicly helped a maid's child in the mansion to cure a cleft lip, and then helped a servant heal a broken leg.

Afterward, he adjusted the facial contours of a female spellcaster who was not very confident in her appearance, helping her improve her looks.

Other spellcasters also came to him, asking Li Ang to help them treat their injuries—the extraordinary people in this world were similar to mutants with superpowers, and many of them had left behind various incurable hidden injuries due to the loss of control of their powers when they were young.

Li Ang helped the spellcasters treat their injuries one by one and demanded a high price.

The content of the reward was naturally money, magic potion books, and information about the Church of the Ice Queen.

Now, in the fairytale world, cell theory had just been proposed, and cellular pathology, bacteriology, pharmacology, and experimental physiology were just beginning to develop.

Even with various magic potions, the overall level of medical care was only slightly higher than that of the 19th century in the real world.

The Oriental medical technology forged by Li Ang using the biological template was simply an incredible miracle in this era.

The spellcasters spread the word, and within a short period of time, a large number of customers came to Li Ang's temporary clinic outside the mansion, including even dignitaries in the city.

Relying on the governor's authority, these people didn't think about doing anything to Li Ang.

Kidnapping, kidnapping, kidnapping—none of that happened.

Li Ang was also very cunning. Before each medical treatment, he would give a long, obscure Oriental sermon like Xuanzang, and repeatedly emphasized that this was a special ability possessed by Oriental extraordinary people.

Moreover, he would deliberately control the scale of the medical process, not performing exaggerated surgeries such as limb regeneration (although he could), and would occasionally leave some side effects of the surgical procedures.

During the day, Li Ang performed surgeries for spellcasters, nobles, and commoners in the city.

At night, he would attend noble banquets and balls, spellcasters' exchange salons, and Eastern and Western cultural exchange conferences to which he was invited by the official departments of Mori City.

At the meeting, Li Ang fabricated a detailed lie about how they came here from the Tang Dynasty in the East, which was considered a loophole in his black household status.

In addition, Frederick the lumberjack also contacted his cousin, who was now the Minister of Finance of Mori City.

With the double guarantee of the governor and the Minister of Finance, no one questioned Li Ang's identity as an Oriental monk, and his efficiency in collecting information reached a new level.

Noble and secretive organizations of spellcasters scrambled to offer magic potion books in exchange for surgical opportunities from Li Ang, as well as his transcribed mysterious scriptures.

By the way, most of the surgical procedures requested by the nobles were cosmetic surgery and diseases of the lower body, and some even wanted to find Li Ang to solve infertility...

After a few days, Li Ang had accumulated enough supplies to fill two wooden warehouses: gold, silver, treasures, books, magic potions, magic potion seeds, monster corpses, alchemy materials...

If it were any other player, there would be no way to take so many things. They would have to choose a few to put in their package, and the rest would probably have to be discarded with heartache.

Fortunately, Li Ang had the [Automated Pet Breeding Box], such a large-space storage artifact. He put all the supplies into the breeding box.

Since the God's Mark could now control plants and living things, there was no need to worry about the worms and insects inside contaminating or destroying the supplies.

Four days later, news also came from the Mermaid Kingdom that, after careful consideration, the Mermaid Queen finally agreed to contact the Rune Kingdom.

She sent her eldest daughter to visit the Rune Kingdom. In the next few days, she would first go to Mori City to deal with the black mermaid's marriage contract, and then go to the capital of the Rune Kingdom to discuss specific diplomatic relations with Princess Anna, the governor of the kingdom.

The news directly overshadowed Li Ang's fame.

The governor of Mori City also officially announced at this time that his son had fallen in love with the black mermaid princess Maria and had the two of them attend the city's noble banquets.

Um...due to the black mermaid's strong request, Li Ang had previously performed some cosmetic surgery on her, reducing the distance between her eyes and adjusting her facial features as a whole, making her look less terrifying.

She even looked a bit like Halle Berry from certain angles—the reason why she wasn't completely transformed into Halle Berry was also to deal with the mermaid princess's visit in a few days, to prevent her from accusing her sister of having excessive plastic surgery.
