Chapter 1 A Great Harvest

It was a great harvest, a truly bountiful one.

Hiding obediently under the covers, Li Ang looked at the dazzling array of items in his inventory and sighed with mixed emotions, a sense of joyful accomplishment blooming in his heart.

This script mission had been exceptionally profitable, so much so that even Li Ang himself felt like he was dreaming.

The resources obtained in the fairy tale world mainly fell into three categories.

The first category consisted of mystical books passed down by various secret cults. These books contained detailed records of various occult secrets, methods for brewing magic potions, and some seemingly unreliable occult rituals.

The most useful part was still the magic potion brewing techniques.

As for the other occult knowledge, due to the differences between the two worlds, it could only be regarded as reference material and not fully trusted.

The second category was various ready-made magic potions, medicinal herbs, and seeds.

With the mentality of making a quick profit and running, Li Ang collected a large number of seeds.

However, these were, after all, plants from another world, and whether they could survive depended on the effectiveness of the [Automated Pet Feeder].

The third category was a large number of extraordinary materials.

Silverbird feathers, Sharpgreen spider eyeballs, Twin-headed Wyvern fangs, Earth Goblin skulls...

In total, there were more than two hundred different kinds.

And that didn't include the dozen or so corpses of spellcasters.

The value contained in these materials could be said to be immeasurable.

Even some small and medium-sized secret organizations might not have collected as many extraordinary materials as Li Ang.

With these resources, Li Ang could create at least ten or even twenty extraordinary pieces of equipment, completely arming himself to the teeth.

Just imagining himself covered in Dragon-Slaying Blades, even Li Ang, with his composure, couldn't help but feel a little yearning.

Calm down, calm down.

"Hoo..."

Li Ang took a deep breath, calmed his mind, and continued to examine the inventory.

In addition to these three categories of materials, he had also obtained two more precious items from the fairy tale world: the Shengsheng Lizan spring water and the now-complete magic mirror.

The effect of the Shengsheng Lizan spring water was to heal and repair items and lifeforms within its quality range, restoring them to their normal state.

In other words, the Shengsheng Lizan spring water was not only equivalent to a life potion, capable of healing serious injuries and eliminating toxins, but it could also provide more comprehensive healing effects.

For example, it could remove curses, alleviate the state of excessive sanity value consumption, and restore clear-headedness.

In addition, the Shengsheng Lizan spring water could also affect items—Li Ang immediately thought of the [Damaged Biological Template] and the [Broken Alchemist's Magic Box].

Although the Biological Template was in a damaged state, its quality had already reached the perfect level, so it was not affected by the spring water.

As for the Alchemist's Magic Box, it seemed to be repairable, and the benefits of repairing it would be extremely high.

Li Ang didn't rush to repair the magic box but continued to examine the other item.

This was an oval-shaped mirror, about the size of an A4 sheet of paper. The mirror surface was shiny and smooth, with no cracks visible.

The frame was made of a metal similar to gold, engraved with intricate, complex, and extremely ornate patterns.

The entire mirror was quite heavy, giving people a sense of indestructibility.

[Name: Abyss Magic Mirror]

[Type: Magic Item]

[Quality: Perfect]

[Effect 1: Chaos Distortion. Passively triggered, slowly changes everything around the magic mirror, making the surrounding environment disordered, chaotic, and distorted, in order to accumulate distortion value.]

[Effect 2: Compensatory Alienation. Passively triggered, contact with the magic mirror will cause living beings to undergo alienation. While their minds drastically change, they will randomly gain a special ability. The strength of the ability depends on the distortion value accumulated in the magic mirror.]

[Effect 3: Mirror Realm Travel. Actively triggered, the user can touch the magic mirror frame and randomly teleport to a mirrored object within a radius of one kilometer.]

[Effect 3 Consumption: 300 points of psionic energy]

[Cooling time: 10 minutes]

[Note: Current distortion value 3/1000]

[Note: If I were you, I wouldn't put the mirror in my bedroom, nor would I ask it any questions.]

[Note: When you gaze into the abyss, the abyss is also gazing into you.]

Another item of perfect quality!

Li Ang's heart skipped a beat. The fully repaired mirror had been renamed the Abyss Magic Mirror.

Judging from the item description, it should be a support-type item, like the Biological Template.

"The distortion effect described in Effect 1 should correspond to the sudden change in social customs in the fairy tale world.

The alienation effect of Effect 2 corresponds to the powerful abilities that Aisha and Anna gained for no reason, and their minds, which began to deviate from the right path from that time on.

As for Effect 3..."

Li Ang pondered for a moment, "Could it correspond to the magic mirror's ability to ignore spatial distance?

In the script world, Aisha used fragments of the magic mirror to draw on the power of faith from various churches within the Rune Kingdom."

Overall, the [Abyss Magic Mirror] lived up to its perfect quality. Effect 3, Mirror Realm Travel, could be used as a means of instant teleportation escape in critical moments.

And Effect 2, Compensatory Alienation, was even more of a godsend in terms of logistics.

As long as enough distortion value was accumulated, living beings could be mutated and gain innate abilities.

Since Compensatory Alienation had powerful side effects that could distort the mind, Li Ang himself might not be able to use it.

However, he had a vast number of artificial insectoids under his command.

Those many insects were enough for Li Ang to constantly experiment and cultivate insectoid soldiers with powerful abilities.

Thinking about it carefully, Li Ang already had the Mirage Dragon Back Mane Coat, the Divine Mark, and the Biological Template, three pieces of perfect quality equipment. Adding the currently perfect-level spring water and magic mirror, the configuration was simply too luxurious.

Not to mention solo players, even some well-known medium-sized secret organizations probably couldn't possess so many perfect quality items.

"The feeling of being rich is just too awesome."

Li Ang sincerely sighed and checked the mission briefing.

[Reward settlement in progress]

[Player's overall performance: S+, game coins and experience points increased to 160%]

[Mission Reward 1: Fine quality random skill scroll first release]

[Mission Reward 2: 400 experience points]

[Mission Reward 3: 900 game coins]

Prior to this, Li Ang's level was lv13, with an experience point bar of 113/1300.

After the mission, the level remained unchanged, and the experience point bar was 753/1300.

Game currency increased by 1440 points, totaling 6846.

As for the final random skill scroll, because the spring water and magic mirror had already given him too many surprises, Li Ang wasn't as expectant as before and casually opened the treasure chest.

A dazzling light flashed.

Li Ang looked at the words on the scroll, his brow slowly furrowing. "This scroll..."
