Wizard: Start with Biological Transformation to Grind Experience novel Chapter 13

Chapter 13: 013: Chance Encounter

Lynch quickly lifted his cloak and pressed his hand onto the pocket on his chest, ready to summon Parker who was sleeping inside at any moment.

Although theoretically this area is an apprentice protection zone under the surveillance of the Tower, the Wizard World is fraught with dangers, and one cannot be too careful.

"Rustle, rustle!"

After a shake of the tree top, the bushes parted on both sides, and soon two figures emerged from within.

Lynch couldn't help but be taken aback, as he recognized both of them. They were apprentices from the same cohort as him. Were they also on a mission?

"Lynch?"

At the same time, the two also noticed him, and expressed a hint of surprise as they briskly approached him.

The two individuals were a male and a female. The male had brown hair, a burly figure, not wearing a cloak, but leather armor and pants, with a Cross Sword hanging from his waist, a typical knight outfit.

This was Yuri, who, before coming to the Shadow Tower, used to be a knight's squire. It was said that he had even been in battles. After entering the Tower, he focused on body enhancement subjects, preferring close combat as opposed to other wizards.

The girl, on the other hand, had an innocent appearance, with big eyes giving off a vibe of a simple-minded neighbor girl.

This was Alice, who majored in the Water Element Attribute.

Upon seeing Lynch, Alice happily skipped over to him like a cute little rabbit, speaking in a familiar tone with a slightly coquettish voice, "Brother Lynch, are you also heading towards the Corrupted Forest?"

This kind of behavior easily led to misunderstandings, and any other apprentice might have speculated if the girl had an interest in them, but Lynch was unmoved because he knew the girl was pretending.

Alice was a very astute girl, extremely adept at utilizing her appearance advantages to act cute and innocent, taking advantage of others.

In terms used on Earth, she was known as a green tea girl.

Lynch nodded, "Yes."

Alice seemed very pleased, "Great, we're also heading to the Corrupted Forest area, why don't we all go together?"

She paused and then turned to Yuri, who was trailing behind, and asked, "Brother Yuri, we're all classmates, you don't mind, do you?"

Yuri was visibly a bit unhappy since the two-person world where he was cultivating feelings with the goddess had suddenly added an extra third wheel, disrupting the atmosphere.

However, since Alice had put it that way, he couldn't very well refuse, so he pretended to be magnanimous and said, "Of course, let's go together."

Lynch contemplated for a moment.

The journey was long, and he wasn't sure what might happen along the way. Certainly, having two additional companions was better than traveling alone.

So he nodded, "Alright."

...

That night.

The moonlight was like fine gauze, gently spilling over the winding creek, the silver radiance intertwining with the rippling water, as if the Milky Way had fallen from the sky, flowing quietly across the earth.

On the pebble shore, the crackling of wood echoed softly, with tiny sparks dancing in the wind. A sizzling campfire and the three tents standing nearby formed a simple traveler's campsite.

Lynch sat on a wooden stump in front of the campfire, his eyes level with a data panel only he could see.

[Elementary Magic Plants Transformation lv2: 216/3000.]

[Basic Extraordinary Cultivation lv2: 876/1000.]

[Shadow Touch lv2: 386/3000.]

[Meditation lv1: 503/3000.]

After over three months of perseverance, all his abilities had significantly improved.

Multiple skills had surpassed the lv2 level, and the Basic Extraordinary Cultivation was nearing completion, soon to be maxed out.
