Chapter 45: Experience Transfer -2
*Awoo* The snow wolf cub let out a roar when it saw Li Wei was distracted.
"Well, let's try." Li Wei recovered from his thoughts and put his hands on the navel of the wolf cub.
*Grrrr* The snow wolf cub snarled, but it didn't push his hands right away.
"Experience Transfer," Li Wei chanted in his mind, ignoring the snow wolf's reaction.
[Ding, Experience Transfer is processing,
- Snow Wolf: Level: 12 | XP: 150/13,000;
- Li Wei: Level: 33 | XP: 19,330/34,000 ;
Please Choose the amount of XP in your mind to transfer.]
"Hmm, it's easier than I thought," Li Wei muttered after seeing the notification.
'Let's go with 1,000 points first,' he thought in mind.
[Ding, 1,000 XP Transfer is processing...]
A notification rang, informing him about the transfer, and Li Wei felt something getting sucked out from him.
"Hmm, I don't feel uncomfortable," he murmured with surprise.
When he thought about using this skill, he was prepared to go through the hardships, but it didn't seem anything wrong with him.
*Humm!* Suddenly, his hand that was on the navel of the wolf shined faintly with a golden light.
*Awoo!* The snow wolf let out a comfortable moan with its tail becoming stiff.
[10+, 10+, 18+, 17+, 9+]
"It's working," Li Wei nodded when he saw the wolf's XP increasing.
"But it's too slow, maybe because my mastery is 0," he murmured, watching it increase very slowly.
The process continued for a time, and all the XP was transferred successfully without any problem.
[Ding, XP transfer process is complete,
- Snow Wolf's: Level: 12 | XP: 1150/13,000 ↑1000+
- Li Wei: Level: 33 | XP: 18,330/34,000 ↓1000-;]
"It took a minute to transfer the 1000 XP, but it worked without much of a problem," Li Wei saw the notification with a nod.
"My mastery only increased by 10%. What a slow rate, even with my eternal learning skill," he muttered with dissatisfaction.
"But it's a good thing that the eternal learning skill can help me master it faster, However it would've been great if it could learn the skill directly at 100% Mastery," he pondered out loud.
"Anyway, I should master 'Experience Transfer' skill perfectly," he decided and began the XP transfer again.
[Ding,..] [Ding,..] [Ding,..]
Li Wei continued to transfer his XP continuously until the skill was mastered it perfectly. The more he mastered, the faster the speed of transfer.
*
- Snow Wolf's: Level: 12 | XP: 10150/13,000 ↑9000+
- Li Wei: Level: 33 | XP: 9,330/34,000 ↓9000-
*
'So at 100% mastery, it will transfer the XP more mathematically than randomly. For XP less than 100k, it is 1000-2000 XP per second. For XP less than 1 million, it is 10k-20k per second, and so on,' he pondered.
When he mastered the skill completely, he received more information from it.
After pondering Li Wei turned towards the snow wolf cub in his arms.
*Awooo Hah Hah*
It looked at him with its mouth opened, and its tail wiggled vigorously as if asking for more.
Li Wei, however, shook his head, "No more. You can return for now," he said, chanting the return spell.
*Awooooo!* The wolf cried, not wanting to go back, but with a white flash, it disappeared.
Just as Li Wei was testing his skills, another scene unfolded inside the cave.
Li Xin, Elva, Alice, and Olivia were all silent and looked at each other.
Alice was the first to break the silence. "Umm, Li Xin, why did you ask to gather us here?" she asked, even though she knew the reason.
Li Xin blushed, trying to keep her expression calm. "What do you think about the experience transfer skill?" she asked, looking at them.
She wanted to fight alongside him, and to do that, she has to level up, and now with the chance before her, she didn't want to miss it.
But the same didn't go for other party members because they were all girls. If they didn't accept, then she would feel guilty for leveling up alone.
Olivia, who was silent, answered her. "Li Xin, I know my words might offend you, but if we want to continue in the party with him, we have to also level up faster so we don't have much choice here," she stated their situation.
"You don't have to worry about me; just say what's on your mind," Li Xin replied with a calm face, knowing it was inevitable.
One day they will have to choose to level up with him if they don't want to drag him down or leave the party if they don't want to level up like that.
"Li Xin, what do you think about his skill?" Elva questioned her after thinking a little.
She knew Li Xin liked Li Wei and has feelings for him, but their relationship was hanging on a thin line, and both didn't know what to do.
She will definitely feel uncomfortable and jealous if she saw him being close with other girls.
Li Xin was stunned at her question. "I am alright with him using the skill on me and others," she replied with a faint blush, but she still felt uncomfortable at the thought of him using skill on others.
However she couldn't do anything because a party was necessary to take on the quests, and it was just a belly, so she didn't care much.
Elva nodded. "Li Xin, then I think you should level up. I and Alice still have to decide it," she replied not making a decision.
They were girls and a boy touching their navels without any clothes on – it made them feel uncomfortable.
Li Xin then turned towards Olivia, asking for her opinion.
Sensing her gaze, Olivia shook her head. "I am a servant before the official party member; if you want to level me up, I will have no choice," she replied, keeping her expression neutral.
The contract between Li Wei and her is already in place. If she rejected him, she would have to find another party, but it's an impossible thing to do.
As a servant, she wasn't allowed to join other parties without a contract.
If it really happened, then she will definitely not be able to pay her debt and would be sold at a high price later.
Li Xin nodded, understanding her situation.
"We should get changed then, or we will keep him waiting," she finished the talk after knowing everyone's reaction.
Everyone agreed with her and proceeded towards their camp.
After arriving inside the camp, Olivia looked at Li Xin.
"If my words offended you, then I am sorry," Olivia apologized sincerely.
Li Xin shook her head. "You don't have to apologize; if we want to live peacefully, we will have to face it sooner or later," she expressed with a sigh, thinking of what Li Wei has told her.
He has thought of leveling up with her alone in a secluded place.
But it will have its own dangers, especially if someone found them. They might think they are doing it for some treasures and might attack them, coming after their lives.
The problem was they weren't powerful enough to fight back, and if someone really plotted against them like a snake, then they will end up dead.
Because of this he has explained to her why he chose to live in the city despite being aware that his bonus might be revealed.
There were also many factors that played in it, such as the good person test. Because of this, he decided to live here in the other world until he gets strong enough to protect themselves.
Li Xin shook her head, knowing it was useless to think about living somewhere alone with him and pondered about their current situation.
'Everyone will have to level up, and it's a compulsion if we don't want to drag him. I and Olivia can agree to this, but the same doesn't go for Elva and Alice,' she thought with a frown.
If he didn't have this skill, then there would be no problems because he needed Elva, Alice, and Olivia to take the quests of the party.
But with this skill, he can just buy more servants to form a party who will allow him to touch their belly buttons.
"Idiot brother Wei, creating trouble for everyone," she murmured with a cute pout and took out her new attire from the item box to change.
But she suddenly stopped and looked at her private red clothes with embarrassment.
She turned her gaze towards Olivia, who was also embarrassed, looking at her white undies that were seen by Li Wei.
Inside the other tent, Elva and Alice faced each other.
"What should we do?" Alice asked with an uncertain expression, knowing the two choices they have.
"I don't know. If we leave the party, he can find others who will later grow stronger with him, but if we stay and allow him to use that skill on us, we will become stronger. It's our choice to become strong or not," Elva explained and fixed her gaze on Alice.
"What do you think we should do?" she asked.
"I don't think there is much problem; it's just a belly button where he will touch," Alice replied with a blush, remembering the time when he grabbed her waist to save her.
Elva thought for a moment. "Let's change first and get ready," she suggested, changing the topic.
Alice nodded wanting to get ready, but she stopped, remembering something.
"Elva, what to do about the attire? Li Wei has seen all the private ones," she asked with a blush, feeling Li Wei was seeing her in undies.
Elva too blushed when she thought about this and hesitated.
Li Wei, who was outside waiting for the girls, heard footsteps coming from the cave.
He looked over to see all the girls now changed into their new outfits. He couldn't help but think about what he saw in the treasure chest after seeing their attire.
'No no, what am I thinking? Calm down, me,' he hurriedly removed the indecent thoughts and looked at them calmly.
Li Xin and the girls blushed sensing his gaze, but they felt relieved when they saw his eyes were calm.
"Brother, we are ready," Li Xin informed with a shy expression, looking away from him, when she suddenly felt getting hugged.
"Eh," Li Xin let out a surprised sound, not knowing what was happening. She turned to see Li Wei, who was looking at her.
Li Wei looked at Li Xin with an apologetic face.
He knew he was forcing her and others to choose, but he wasn't an idiot who would drag the secret until someone is facing life and death.
He has already lost his parents, and he didn't want to lose more. So he decided to be selfish.
He looked at Li Xin in his arms, moving his hands gently, to carress her soft pink cheeks.
He then leaned forward, bringing his mouth near her ears.
"XinXin, I am sorry for troubling you with my selfishness," Li Wei whispered with an apologetic expression only to be heard by her.
Li Xin saw his apologetic look and shook her head.
"Brother, you don't have to worry too much, and I am more happy if I can level up with you," she replied with a sweet smile.
Li Wei nodded and observed her beautiful look in the red moon attire set.
The attire was designed for battle, so it doesn't expose her skin too much, but it made her look like a doll.
"You look beautiful in these clothes," Li Wei praised, ruffling her hair softly.
