Chapter 119: A Gift
[Ding, the engraving of the skill "Water Bullet" has begun.]
[Process: 10%...20%...30%...]
As the voice of the world system rang, the characters started to merge with a blank page of the world book.
The world book possessed many skills, with some of them being duplicates in name and function. However, as long as there is a small difference, it wasn't a problem to engrave in it.
[Ding, congratulations, Player Li Wei! The skill "Water Bullet" has been successfully engraved in the world book.
Record No. @#7M88K99&-+
Skill Name: Water Bullet
Class: Mage | Grade: Basic
...]
A notification rang loudly informing him, when suddenly the platform started to vibrate with a humming sound.
"It's finally done," Li Wei heaved a sigh of relief and continued to look at the world book because the process was not over yet.
As he watched, the virtual world book started to shine slowly, and rays of golden light shot out surrounding him without any warning.
Li Wei, however, remained calm at this process, but then the light rays shined more brightly, covering his view.
Before he could think of anything, a voice sounded in his mind with a notification appearing in front of him.
[Ding, congratulations, Player Li Wei, for creating a skill; you have received a new title, Skill Creator.]
[Ding, congratulations, you have learned the following basic skill, Water Bullet.]
[Ding, congratulations for completing the third class quest; you have received the following rewards:
1. Class upgrade to Grade C
2. 500k Gold Coins
3. A gift to see the spirits]
Hearing and reading this, Li Wei became stunned.
'A gift to see the spirits? Isn't the timing is too good,' he thought with a frown as the golden blinding light disappeared slowly, returning him to the training room.
The platform also disappeared without a trace, and the ground also returned to normal, leaving no trace of what happened here.
Li Wei, however, didn't care about this and was busy thinking about the gift when the voice rang again, with a notification.
[Ding, the implementation of the gift will begin.]
[Process: 0.1%...0.2%...0.3%...]
Looking at the notification, Li Wei couldn't help but sigh deeply because the timing was too perfect, as if someone was behind the scenes.
"Anyway, it's no use to think too much, as I won't get answers. The first thing I should do is to raise my shadow clone skill," Li Wei muttered to himself and raised his shadow clone skill to level 90.
It took him 1467 Skill Points, but it was worth it.
Level 90 was the highest level he could level up the skill with his current class grade. But with this skill level, he can form one more clone, while the clone can use 80% of his strength now.
The clone can also talk, but only if he ordered them or if he split his consciousness with the clones.
Just as he was done and was thinking about what to do, Li Xin arrived inside the training room with others, while watching him with a frown.
"Brother, did you create trouble?" Li Xin inquired with a cold expression, looking around to see if he turned the ground upside-down.
"XinXin, why do you think I will create trouble? Do you know I worked hard and created a skill, also completing my third-class quest?" Li Wei replied, taking Li Xin and Li Yin in his arms while ignoring the surprise of others.
"Brother Li, what you say is true; you created a skill," Lily asked with a shocked expression while others looked at him for an answer.
Li Wei nodded with a smile and explained to them what happened from start to finish.
He also told them about Mr. Mannequin and received a glare from Li Xin and Li Yin.
But after hearing his skill creation, they forgot about it and listened to him with a shocked expression.
Everyone was also the same, but they were also disappointed knowing they missed a beautiful event.
As they chatted, the time passed silently, and after dinner, everyone went to sleep.
…
The next day, nothing happened, and they all waited for evening to come and go to the party.
But there was a big problem.
"You guys, aren't you getting ready even now? We will be late," Li Wei reminded with a sigh, looking at the girls who were busy selecting the dress.
They almost bought the whole shop yesterday because they didn't know what would look good, and they were deciding what to wear since morning.
"Brother, what do you know? It's very hard to choose," Li Xin wrinkled her nose, pointing at the mountain of clothes.
Li Wei became speechless and shook his head.
"Hurry up, or we will be late," he reminded them again and proceeded towards the bathroom to get himself ready.
'It's a good thing that XinXin at least bought me a coat before,' he thought, feeling a little bitter.
Li Xin and everyone only bought clothes for themselves, as for him, he was left to survive on his own.
After getting ready, he waited for everyone in the hall; however, they didn't come down until 6:30 PM.
He wanted to scold them about being late but he became stunned after watching everyone come out of the lift.
They were all wearing beautiful party dresses, making them look gorgeous.
They didn't wear any outfits that revealed a lot of skin, but it made them look even more beautiful.
"Brother, how do I look?" Li Xin asked, showing her dress, followed by Li Yin.
"You both look charming and more beautiful than before," Li Wei complimented them with a smile.
"Brother Li, what about us, and your coat is really good. I didn't expect it would suit you," Alice said, observing him.
"It's because XinXin picked it up for me, and all of you are also looking good," Li Wei replied and looked at the time.
"We should go now. The party will start at 7, but it's best to go early," he suggested.
Everyone nodded, agreeing with him, and proceeded towards the destination.
The destination wasn't far away from them and was only separated by a garden area of both villas.
However, as soon as they reached the gate of the villa, they became a little stunned.
"Brother, it seems Emily's family is more famous than we thought," Li Xin commented after watching the big crowd of people waiting to go inside.
"Of course it is. Do you really think it's easy to get materials without having strong connections?" Li Wei replied and led everyone inside the gate of the villa after showing the invitation.
The party was divided into two places: one was outside where anyone could come to eat as long as they had invitation cards.
While the other was inside the villa, and to get in, you needed a special invitation.
Of course, Li Wei held a special one and brought everyone inside the villa without a problem.
"It's almost the same as ours," Lily exclaimed, watching the hall curiously.
It was the same as theirs but without any sofa or anything because it was prepared for the upcoming party.
"Sister Li, Bad brother, you all came," Emily shouted after finding them and ran towards them with a smile.
"Emily, you look cute in this dress," Li Xin complimented, watching her in red
ball dress.
"Of course, I will look good, but I have to say you all sisters are also beautiful," Emily replied, looking at them and focused on Li Wei.
"Bad brother, are you here to hunt new sisters? Then it will be hard because many handsome men will be coming here too," she informed, folding her arms.
"Why do you think I will do this, and shouldn't you be staying behind the scenes until the party starts?" Li Wei replied, stretching her cheeks, and led everyone to sit at a nearby table.
The party hadn't started yet, so he just chilled himself, watching Emily and others talk.
…
Just as he was waiting for the party to start, three people came at the gate of the villa but they were watching from the distance.
"Mark, is this the invitation you got? Do you really think I came here to eat for free?" Daniel shouted at Mark after knowing the invitations he got were normal.
"Sir Daniel, I didn't know it would be like this. Just give me a moment; I will fix this," Mark apologized with fear, feeling angry at the person who gave him the invitation cards.
"Humph, there is no need. I will handle it," Daniel replied with anger and looked at the special invitation card of others in the crowd.
'Mimic,' he chanted in his mind, and a special invitation card formed in front of him.
Mark and Zek became stunned after watching it. They have gotten the invitation cards after paying a little price, but their higher ups just need a look to get it.
"Humph, useless fools. Let's go inside and be sure not to show any suspicion. The hero and priestess might also come here. If you get caught, I won't be able to save you," Daniel reminded them.
"Yes, we will be careful, Sir Daniel," Mark and Zek replied simultaneously and followed him inside the gate.
However, they didn't go inside the villa and waited to get it more crowded.
