Chapter 57: Second Class Quest - 1
(Let me gooo!) Lily screamed again, this time using her telepathy to reach everyone.
Li Xin also heard her sweet voice and looked at Li Wei, who didn't care.
"Brother! It's enough for now," she said, glaring at him with a pout.
Li Wei nodded and stretched her cute cheeks as he moved his mouth towards her ears.
"Then we will continue it later," he whispered softly and let her go, not doing anything else.
Li Xin blushed hard hearing his words and backed out with Lily in her arms.
"Are you alright, Lily?" she asked with concern and caressed her softly.
(I am alright, but just leave me alone when you are going to do this again,) Lily complained in a crying voice.
Li Xin could only console her by caressing and glared at Li Wei for not caring about her.
Elva, Alice, and Olivia just looked at them, not knowing what to do. They all felt like the third wheel for being just there.
However, Li Wei didn't care about their thoughts as it was not something serious and focused on everyone.
"Well, I am done with summoning. Now we should go and hunt some nearby monsters to farm the XP," he announced.
Hearing him, Li Xin became a little stunned.
"Brother, aren't you going to summon more monsters?" she asked with a puzzled face.
She too has the skill and knew the limit of summons; he can still summon and contract more monsters.
However, Li Wei shook his head.
"I just wanted to know how rare monster I can summon at my level. Even though Lily has special skills, she cannot fight with those skills. It also means I can't summon a very rare monster yet, so I will wait until my level gets higher," he explained.
If he formed a contract with other monsters, he would only waste his XP and money. It was better for him to wait to level up and summon the monsters then.
He then glanced at Lily.
'She can't fight yet, but can protect them and can also help them to escape with her teleportation skill if needed,' he thought, feeling relieved.
He wouldn't have made a contract with Lily if not for her teleportation skill, not to mention he also wanted to learn it.
"Lily, I am Li Wei, the party leader, and they are party members Li Xin, Alice, Elva, and Olivia. Also, I welcome you to the Order of the Abyss party," he introduced and welcomed her with a smile.
(Ehh?) Lily became dumbfounded at the name of the party.
(O-order of the Abyss party? J-just what are you planning?) she asked, her voice trembling like a little girl.
Even though she was sleeping, she also kept an eye on some news that told her about the evil faction who summoned monsters to destroy the worlds.
Li Wei smiled and gently caressed her slime body.
"I am on my path to destroy all worlds, and with you, we can definitely do it, Lily. I hope you won't let us down; we should destroy the worlds together," he replied in a serious tone, teasing her.
(What?? No way? Are you really going to destroy the world?) Lily screamed in fear, trembling in Li Xin's arms.
She never thought that the news would be true, and she would be the victim.
Watching Lily getting scared, Li Xin glared at him.
"Lily, don't listen to his nonsense. Our party isn't like this; he is just teasing you," she assured and caressed her to calm her down.
(Really? We are not going to destroy the world, right?) Lily asked with doubt, using her telepathy on everyone.
Alice shook her head as she approached.
"Lily, he is just teasing you, so don't worry about it," she replied, also caressing Lily's soft body.
'Ah, I want to squeeze it very badly,' she thought, her eyes flashing with light looking at the pink slime.
However, what Lily saw was an ominous glare of hers.
'Is she threatening me to accept this? Did I really fall into a terrible fate? Am I really going to die?' she thought with a fear, trembling again.
Li Wei, who was watching this, shook his head after sensing her fear.
With a contract between them, a connection was also formed that would let him understand the monster even if it can't speak or it doesn't have any skills to talk.
He can also understand their moods and a little bit of feelings, the same also goes for the monsters.
'Well, I shouldn't tease her too much,' he murmured in his mind as he took Lily from Li Xin's arms and gently caressed her.
"I was just kidding, so don't worry about it, and just tell me if Alice tries to bully you. I will cut off her meals so she won't be able to do anything," he said softly, consoling her, not caring about the pitiful Alice.
"Brother Li, not my food again, why are you always after my life!" she screamed with an unwilling expression and tears.
However, Li Wei didn't care about her screams.
"Okay, we have wasted a lot of time here. Let's go for a monster hunt. I also want to try my leveled-up skills," he announced as he put Lily back in Li Xin's arms.
Everyone nodded, with Alice who also glared at him with pitiful eyes while Lily stayed silent in Li Xin's arms.
When Li Wei teased her, he made sure to hide his emotions, but when he told her it was just a joke, he made sure to let her feel it. If not, she would still be fearing him.
Li Wei saw everyone nodding, and without hesitation, he led them inside the forest.
After walking for a little, they all arrived on a cliff.
"Brother Li, why are we on the cliff?" Alice questioned, looking at him with a pout and a resentful gaze.
She didn't care about coming here, but he is always threatening her with her life (food).
She can't just stay silent; she has her own cat's rights to live her life (eat her food).
Li Wei looked at her and found it funny watching her resentful expression.
"I want to try my skills, and also, there are monsters down there," nevertheless, he replied, looking down from the cliff.
The cliff wasn't that high; it only reached the height of a three-story-tall building. While at the bottom of the cliff, a small number of goblins gathered there, creating a small camp.
"Brother, how are we going to fight with them from here?" Li Xin asked with doubt as she hugged Lily softly, playing with her.
If goblins saw them attacking, they would definitely escape, as their attacks can't reach here.
Elva, Alice, and Olivia also looked at him with the same question.
"As I said, I want to try my leveled-up skills, so none of you will be attacking, and with my level 30 area-effect skills, they wouldn't be able to escape," Li Wei explained to them.
His some skills are level 30, which can be used to fight a level 50 monster. It would be strange if the level 15 monsters could escape.
Li Xin and others nodded, hearing him, while Lily too nodded with her body, making her look cute.
Li Wei saw their nods and turned his attention to the bottom of the cliff.
'There are more than 410 goblins, and all are level 15,' he thought, observing them.
'If I kill them all, I will get 615,000 XP, but I only need 609,000 XP to level up to 50 and wouldn't be able to level up further,' he pondered, calculating the XP and thinking about the next problems.
The first problem will be he can't level up further after hitting level 50 unless he completes his second-class quest.
But the second-class quest is still unknown to him, as many people didn't choose the Jack-of-all-trades class and didn't know much about it.
The second problem is the side effects of leveling up faster that cause a loss of control over the skills and powers.
Even though the class knowledge can help him control the skills perfectly, it wouldn't mean it will also help him overcome this issue.
As everyone levels up, their body and soul become stronger and stronger. If it's just a few tens of levels, they can adapt in two or three days.
But if it exceeds the amount of fifteen, it becomes difficult to adapt, and they lose control over mana that leads them to lose control over the skills.
You can imagine it this way: if you eat enough food, it's good, but if you overeat, you are going to the hospital.
It's the same case for leveling up.
'I will level up 14 levels; that's almost on the boundary, but it wouldn't affect much as long as I don't cross the line of 15,' he muttered in his mind, thinking about this.
He has leveled up 11 levels before, but it was two days ago; that was enough for him to adapt to his strength, so it wasn't a problem to level up now.
"Okay, let's do it," he muttered, fixing his gaze down.
