Chapter 33 is no longer about raising children.
Thinking about learning magic, Zhou Qing was reminded of the language barrier.
He looked at the panel again:
Wode German: Beginner (18/100)
"Thank goodness, it wasn't all for nothing."
During the day, Zhou Qing would frantically practice questions with the Alchemy Dictionary during breaks and lunch breaks, and finally managed to get to the beginner level of Wode German.
No matter what, Zhou Qing was a top student who got full marks in general education courses.
Even if a general education course is only worth 50 points, it doesn't mean that it's easy.
Moreover, Zhou Qing also has the "One Certificate Permanent" cheat, making learning Wörther a piece of cake.
For Zhou Qing now, he can already recognize a general vocabulary and short sentences.
"At this rate, he'll be fluent in Wörth in just a few days!"
"It's no longer about raising children."
Besides this skill, there are two other surprises in the skill bar.
His stomach-expanding swallowing technique has successfully reached the minor mastery stage, and his dissolving and absorption skills are also nearing perfection.
[Stomach-Expanding Swallowing Skill: Minor Success (2/100)]
[Dissolution and Absorption: Dacheng (88/100)]
Dissolve and absorb is a racial skill that Zhou Qing gained after subduing the slime, and it was already at its peak from the start.
These past few days he's been eating like crazy, constantly activating this skill to digest his food. His proficiency is skyrocketing, and he's only 12 points away from reaching perfection, triggering the [Infinite Transformation] characteristic, thus achieving ultimate sublimation and breaking through limits to upgrade.
"What will the skill transformation have?" Zhou Qing wondered, filled with anticipation. "Will it double the absorption efficiency? Or unlock new absorption methods?"
"Whatever it is, it should all be about absorbing related abilities!"
Suppressing his expectations, Zhou Qing didn't delay any longer.
With a thought, he connected with the crimson stars.
The next second, Zhou Qing's figure disappeared into the dark space and returned to the fantasy world.
After landing, Zhou Qing determined the direction and headed straight for the adventurer's stronghold on the second floor of the dungeon.
I arranged to meet Daisy here yesterday, so I need to arrive early today to avoid her thinking I stood her up and losing her favor.
As soon as Zhou Qing stepped into the base, he spotted Daisy sitting in the corner of the restaurant.
He was still wearing that signature black robe, with two motionless corpses of his servants standing behind him, like a moving warning sign that said, "Keep Out."
Zhou Qing nodded in satisfaction.
Not bad, not bad, they didn't run away.
The favorability rating shouldn't have dropped, so it seems my strategy is starting to work.
However, the scene at this outpost was not very welcoming to Daisy.
The few adventurers who were already there all avoided Daisy as if she were a plague, shrinking back to the other side and deliberately keeping a great distance between themselves.
Zhou Qing glanced at it and understood instantly.
Either Daisy's infamy was too great, or the stench of the corpses and servants behind her was simply unbearable.
You have to understand, even he had to get used to the stench of the corpse, let alone ordinary adventurers.
The fact that the staff at the outpost didn't kick her out is already considered lenient by the Adventurers' Guild.
After all, not everyone is like him, able to eat without flinching despite the stench of a corpse.
Zhou Qing walked straight to Daisy and sat down opposite her, deliberately drawing out his teasing tone: "Oh, young lady, you didn't run away overnight?"
Daisy abruptly raised her head, her purple eyes wide, and retorted in a hard tone, "I am a great necromancer, how could I do something as shameful as running away!"
These words sound convincing, but they are all lies.
Only Daisy knew that she hadn't slept at all last night; her mind was filled with the dilemma of whether or not to run away.
This Mambo squad is really too abnormal.
To be precise, it should be said that Captain Zhou Qing was outrageous to the extreme.
Which adventurer party would disband right there in the dungeon?
What team captain would eat and then run away, leaving his teammates alone in the dungeon?
If it weren't for her terrible reputation in Kara City, with no squad willing to take her in, she would have packed her things and run away last night.
Daisy gripped the skull staff tightly, feeling incredibly wronged, but stubbornly maintained her composure.
Zhou Qing immediately noticed her dark circles, which looked like she was wearing eyeshadow and were particularly noticeable on her pale skin.
But Zhou Qing didn't expose her lie; he just smiled and didn't say anything more.
When it comes to sleeping, he's not much better off himself.
I haven't slept for four days straight.
The main difference is that day and night are reversed in the martial arts world and the fantasy world.
At night, he has to travel to a fantasy world to fight monsters and eat.
In the fantasy world at night, he has to return to the martial arts world for classes and training.
It's like turning 996 into 007, squeezing out even sleep time completely.
However, Zhou Qing didn't care. After all, he was a proper martial artist with excellent physical fitness. He could endure not sleeping for a week, or even for half a month.
He had planned this all along.
I'll spend the weekend in the dungeon, and then catch up on sleep while camping at night. I'll sleep like a log and make up for all the sleep I've missed these past few days.
Suppressing the urge to sleep, Zhou Qing stood up and patted the table: "Alright, it's getting late, let's get ready to move out."
"Today, let's practice our teamwork on the second floor and complete the task of clearing out the demon wolves."
"Let's explore the third level together tomorrow."
He paused, then deliberately leaned closer to Daisy, lowering his voice and saying in a threatening tone, "Once you reach the third level, you'll have to spend the night in the dungeon."
"Girl, get ready."
Upon hearing this, Daisy fell silent.
After a moment, Daisy took a deep breath, raised her head, and said in an extremely solemn tone, "Please address me as a lady! I am not some young girl!"
"Hahaha."
Zhou Qing reached out to tap her head, but pulled his hand back as soon as it touched her hair, and instead rubbed her head.
"Alright, alright, Ms. Daisy, but you don't look that much older than me."
After saying that, Zhou Qing stopped teasing her and turned to walk towards the stronghold's gate, calling out, "Hurry up and catch up, it'll get dark soon, and the demon wolves will be off duty!"
Daisy was startled by the rubbing, and when she realized what was happening, her cheeks turned red with anger, and her black robe trembled slightly.
She angrily grabbed the skull staff, pulled up her hood, waved to the corpse servants behind her, and quickly followed.
……
The second level of the underground city.
Zhou Qing strode ahead, his enchanted wooden stick slung over his shoulder, humming an unknown tune.
Daisy followed a few steps behind him, still sulking.
The two corpse servants behind them followed with stiff steps.
After walking for about half an hour, and just as they were about to enter the area where the demon wolves often appeared, Zhou Qing suddenly stopped, turned to look at Daisy behind him, and casually said:
"By the way, even though it's a day late, I should still ask what kind of magic you're good at?"
"After all, we're teammates, so we need to understand each other's abilities."
"Hmph!" Daisy's tone was filled with resentment. "Only now do you think of getting to know me, your teammate?"
"Why didn't you ask when we formed the team yesterday? You're such an incompetent team leader!"
Despite saying that, a hint of smugness flashed in her eyes.
Finally, I have the opportunity to showcase my abilities!
