Level Up in Earth Evolution

Chapter 116: Inheritance?



Just as everyone was planning to do something at the party, inside the church residence, Irene frowned, looking in the direction of Li Wei's villa.

'Why are there so many spirits gathered there, and there are even some that I couldn't see? Just what happened when I was away,' she thought, frowning harder.

In the afternoon, she received news about Dark monsters appearing in the north plane, so she immediately left with her legion to find out the source of it and didn't know what happened here.

She wanted to head there immediately to see what happened, but she couldn't as she had a task on her hands.

"Lyla, did you send the report to the capital city?" she inquired.

"Yes, Priestess Irene, I sent the report about the unusual occurrence of dark monsters here," Lyla replied with a nod, confirming it.

"Good. Then, search inside the city and apprehend any suspicious people," Irene instructed everyone under her and also started to search for any suspicious individuals.

However, she chose to head towards Li Wei's villa first.

"Isn't this villa belongs to the Abyss leader? Just what is he doing?" she muttered, observing the villa from a distance.

But after discovering it wasn't something dangerous, she didn't waste any time and started to search for suspicious people.

Inside the villa, Li Wei didn't know about what was happening and was sitting in the bedroom with Li Xin and Li Yin, who wore full pajamas today with a little irritated expression.

Li Wei smiled softly and embraced both of them at once.

Li Xin and Li Yin both didn't resist and leaned on his chest peacefully as Li Wei massaged their heads with his skill.

"I am sorry I scared you," Li Wei apologized, giving them a tight hug.

In response, Li Xin and Li Yin glared at him with a pout.

Watching them like this, Li Wei felt funny but didn't show it, or they would be more pissed off.

He then once again apologized and massaged their heads, making them go to sleep, and he too followed after a while.

Next morning, nothing unusual happened, but after breakfast, Li Xin and Li Yin looked at him with a suspicious glance.

"Brother, are you sure you won't do anything if I am away?" Li Xin inquired again with a strict expression.

Watching her like this, Li Wei smiled wryly.

"XinXin, YinYin, you don't need to worry about it. Look, my MP is stuck at 10,000, and it won't recover for a while, so you don't need to worry about me doing something again," he explained, showing her his status.

After watching it and asking a few more times, Li Xin felt relieved.

"Okay, then I will go out with everyone else, but if I find out that you have done something bad, you won't be able to escape this time," she stated with cold eyes.

"Yes, yes, as my little sister says. If I did anything wrong, your big, cute brother will be at your mercy," Li Wei nodded, teasing her with a smile.

Li Xin snorted in response and left with everyone to go shopping after saying goodbyes to him.

Watching their backs, Li Wei felt relieved.

"Now it's time to figure out what the hell happened," he muttered and directly arrived inside the training room.

He then started to sense the spirits around him and became surprised as he discovered there were a lot of them.

"Just what happened to become like this?" he pondered loudly as he checked his spirits' attributes, but they were the same as before, 740.

It means his affinity with spirits increased without the increase of spirit attributes. He felt surprised but not too much, as in this world, it was normal.

However, it was difficult to get the affinity of spirits without increasing spirit attributes and leveling up unless you are from a gifted race.

This made him puzzled at why it happened to him and also why his mana isn't recovering like how it did before.

He was still unaware of Li Xin feeding him a potion by her mouth, as no one told him about this.

Just as he was confused, the spirits around him suddenly started to hum, and before he could think of anything, he was inside the dark space from yesterday.

However, he didn't feel any fear and looked at the colourful mana strings that are forming something.

"It's a mannequin!" Li Wei exclaimed with shock, looking at the humanoid figure made by the strings.

It looked the same as a mannequin with no face, but he became more shocked when he heard a hoarse voice coming from it.

"I am no mannequin boy, and why did you even think of that?" The entity spoke, their voice sounding irritating and didn't divulge their gender through it.

"What the heck! The mannequin is speaking!" Li Wei shouted, not being afraid of the entity while he channeled leftover MP and became ready to escape.

The entity was stunned at his exclamation, and it took a few seconds to come out of it, only to see Li Wei preparing for escape.

"Boy, wait! I am not a bad person, and I don't have any powers to stop or harm you," the entity spoke again, watching him like this.

However, Li Wei cursed loudly.

"The hell I am not a bad person! I am tired of hearing the same thing again and again. Just what does this world want from me? Can't it let me live in peace?" he shouted with irritation.

This was the fourth time he is encountering something incredulous, and if he counts Irene, it would be five.

'Ugh, I should have gone out with XinXin. My bad luck is really bad,' he thought feeling bitter and decided to stay with her the whole time.

If not, who knows what he might get involved in.

As he was thinking this he suddenly thought of something and looked at the stunned mannequin.

"So, Mr. mannequin, I am not being able to form a connection with spirits because of you, right? Why are you doing this?" Li Wei inquired while thinking about how to get rid of the mannequin.

"Boy! I am not a mannequin! Also, yes, I am stopping you from making a connection with spirits because, didn't you sense you are turning into a monster?" the entity replied with a loud, strict voice.

Hearing him, Li Wei became stunned but didn't care too much.

"So what if I am becoming a monster? As long as I stay who I am, it doesn't matter," he shrugged with no care.

He already asked the goddess about it before, and she replied as long as he doesn't exceed his limits by too much, it won't be a problem.

The mannequin became surprised hearing him and pondered before speaking again.

"Boy, I was here to give you a chance to change your class, but it didn't seem like you are going to do it," the entity said, making him stunned.

"Mr. mannequin, are you a secret agent of the world system, and did you just come here for this? Then I will really appreciate it if you take your leave now. It will make me happy, you know," Li Wei replied with an exhausted face.

The mannequin once again became speechless hearing him and spoke.

"Boy, how many times I tell you, I am not a mannequin, and also, I am not a secret agent of the world system," the entity replied after and continued.

"Also, I came here not only to give you a chance to change your class, but also to let you know something important," the entity added, their voice sounding serious.

However, Li Wei just looked at him with a bored face.

"So, what's something important you wanted to say?" he inquired, his expression not changing.

Watching him like this, the entity really wanted to beat him up but didn't have any powers to do it.

"Boy, let me explain in short. You received a hidden class quest because you met certain conditions and additionally triggered a function that I set up years ago, making me come here."

"Also, you might not know that the spirits treat the Jack-of-all-Trades class with more differently, because of it you experienced a unique way to form a connection and got confused that they might dry up your MP."

"You then thought that you will become bedridden if it's continued and increased your intelligence attribute to give them more MP. Because of it, you triggered my function, making the process longer," the entity spoke with explanation.

Hearing him, Li Wei became speechless.

'So it was my fault. No, it's this Kingdom's fault for not making the books of my class available,' he thought, placing the blame on someone and looked at the mannequin.

"Can I know what function you are talking about, and why the heck it sounds more complex? Can I back away?" he inquired with a hopeful look trying to get away from the trouble.

However, the mannequin shook his head.

"No, you can't. It's already done, and what is here is my recorded reply with no powers, so I can't do anything," the entity answered before explaining again.

"Also the function you triggered is an inheritance of my special ability 'Spirit Contract,' and you are eligible to receive it as you are the one who triggered it," the entity announced, making Li Wei stunned and puzzled.
