"Seryu, your scrambled eggs with tomatoes are excellent! I think they taste even better than Little Ai's!"
Lin Feng did not hesitate to lavish praise on Seryu, even if it meant slightly undermining Hayasaka Ai next to him. This Little Ai needs to be kept in check. If no one suppresses you, you might flip over the roof every three days, and once you get stronger, you'll probably overturn all of Orario.
"Thank you for the compliment, Lord Lin Feng! I will continue to work hard!"
Seryu, who had been a little nervous and watched Lin Feng closely as he picked up the egg with his chopsticks, let out a sigh of relief the moment she heard him say it was delicious.
But the next second, she instantly sprang up from her seat as if launched, snapping into a salute. It was as if Lin Feng were her Emperor, and while there were some differences, it was close enough.
Although this Seryu was full of justice, she was adorable in this aspect, especially her previously anxious look combined with her sharp salute—it was explosively cute.
"Seryu, you don't have to be so nervous; we are all family!"
Lin Feng slowly stood up, walked over to Seryu, and stroked the top of her head with a smile.
"Mmh..."
Seryu closed her eyes comfortably. She felt a long-lost warmth from his hand, a feeling she found somewhat intoxicating.
"Mo~ Seryu also got her head patted and praised."
Megumi Katou sat at the dining table, watching Lin Feng stroking Seryu's hair, deep in thought.
It seemed she, Megumi Katou, could not continue to be so inconspicuous. She needed to make a move to truly get Lin Feng's attention.
After dinner.
Lin Feng updated the Status for Hayasaka Ai and the others sequentially. The final statistics showed that most of their Proficiencies had reached Rank B, meaning they were between 700 and 799. This already fulfilled the leveling-up requirement, but they decided to continue holding back on the upgrade because they had not yet reached their growth limit.
As for Kanae's Status, three of her parameters had already reached Rank A, and she still hadn't hit her limit. It seems these girls have a very high ceiling! It must be due to some kind of external buff.
"Little Ai! You have a new Skill!"
Upon closer inspection, Lin Feng discovered a new Skill had appeared in Hayasaka Ai's Skill column, which was quite unexpected.
Hayasaka Ai: LV1Strength:B725Endurance:C650Dexterity:B766Agility:B732Magic:C635Magic:(Four Forms)Skills:Martial Arts Proficiency, Command Tactics
Command Tactics: Within a ten-meter radius centered on the user (increases with level), companions who share the same Falna will gain a certain level of Status boost and receive a certain amount of healing.
In this Skill, only the radius of ten meters changes with level increase, while the other two effects do not specify concrete values. This is typical of Falna Skills—they are vague and indirect in their description.
"Wow! Command Tactics! It looks like I truly have this talent, haha!"
Hayasaka Ai couldn't help but smile happily, holding the paper printed with her Status. Her strength had increased again.
"Congratulations, Captain Hayasaka! I will also work hard to gain a new Skill!"
Seryu stepped forward and held Hayasaka Ai's hands.
Megumi Katou followed suit, and Kanae also offered a word of congratulation.
"I want to draw the lottery!"
"Master, I'm here! Drawing in progress, please wait..."
"Congratulations, Master, you have won: one C4 explosive, the Magic Skill Greater Fireball (transferable three times), one opportunity to summon a follower, the Magic Skill Healing Touch (transferable three times), the Attack Skill Sonic Leap (transferable three times), one pair of Shoes of Swiftness, and one Physical Quality Enhancement Potion."
"Little System, we got quite a few good things this time!"
"Mmhmm, Master is the most Oura!"
The Little System quickly disappeared from his mind, and Lin Feng's consciousness returned to reality.
"Little Ai, Little Megumi, Seryu, Kanae, I have two Magic Skills and one Attack Skill here. If you want to learn them, you can tell me, and I will transfer them directly to you."
Just as Hayasaka Ai was still looking back and forth at the paper with her Falna printed on it, Lin Feng suddenly dropped this bombshell, causing her to freeze in shock. She didn't even notice the paper in her hand drop to the floor.
Are you trying to annoy me! Hayasaka Ai quickly processed the situation. You were just praising me for gaining a good Skill, and then you immediately bring up three Skills that can be learned. What is this supposed to be?
"My dear Lord God, what exactly is going on?"
Hayasaka Ai walked toward Lin Feng step by step, her expression a mix of smiles and non-smiles, speaking in a sickeningly sweet voice.
"Ahem, I... I just found out about them myself."
"Little Ai, do you want to learn them?"
Lin Feng told Hayasaka Ai and the others about the three Skills, including the transfer limitations.
As for the Magic Skills' power, he didn't elaborate much since the Falna was present, the magic's power would increase with Magic Status improvement, but it also depended on the original magic's rank. Greater Fireball was a high-power Rank C Magic Skill that caused an explosion, making it very suitable for beginners.
Healing Touch is practically essential for Dungeon adventurers, but most adventurers don't have it. Furthermore, the Healing Touch here only has a slow recovery effect, which is less immediate than a potion, so potions are prioritized when a situation cannot be easily treated by the healing magic.
Sonic Leap is a very simple Skill, essentially a movement and attack Skill. The description suggests it originates from a Skill in the Sword Art Online game.
"I want to learn Sonic Leap!"
Hayasaka Ai, Megumi Katou, Seryu, and Kanae all shouted at once.
Goodness, they all want to learn a movement Skill! It seems they are not fools... they all know this Skill can save lives, or someone else's life, at a critical moment—it's a universal Skill.
"There are only three chances now... only three of you can get it. If anyone else wants it, you'll have to wait for the next wave."
"Then... I'll withdraw!"
In a few seconds, Megumi Katou made her decision. She already had an Invisibility Magic Skill, so why not let them have the opportunity? Besides, didn't Lin Feng say there would be a next time?
"I'll withdraw instead... My main focus from now on seems to be commanding."
Hayasaka Ai also stepped forward and said.
"No! Little Ai is the Commander, and a Skill that allows her to reposition instantly is absolutely necessary."
Before Lin Feng could speak, Megumi Katou stepped forward to stop her.
Indeed, she truly lives up to the title of Saint Megumi! She usually watched everyone quietly, rarely making a decision, but at the crucial moment, she struck decisively, convincing everyone at once.
"That settles it then. The three chances for Sonic Leap go to Little Ai, Kanae, and Seryu."
Lin Feng saw that Hayasaka Ai had been rendered speechless by Megumi Katou and made the final decision.
