The First Evolution

At this time, Fang Linyan still remembered what Doctor said before. While Ms. Fredtanya was enjoying the healthy human male, he sneaked into the cave.

As was mentioned before, this cave was quite large with a height of more than 30 meters. The cave could accommodate the entire basketball hall. There were a lot of things piled up in different categories. There were piles of firewood, a giant bird-like nest, a towering bookshelf and possibly a stone stove for rainy days.

Especially these things were used by giants, so they were much larger than normal things, which blocked Fang Linyan’s sight very much.

However, Fang Linyan wasn’t troubled by it as he released [Drone] into the air.

As a result, an accident happened. Fang Linyan wanted to understand the whole cave first, so he naturally controlled [Drone] to continue to fly up. When it flew to about 20 meters, [Drone] actually made “click” sounds and was stuck there. There seemed to be something invisible in the midair.

“En?“

Seeing such an abnormal condition, Fang Linyan was moved. Obviously, as long as it was something that was deliberately hidden by the owner, it must be of high value.

This time Fang Linyan didn’t hide anything, the purpose of coming in was to be a thief! This was the lair of the leader-level monster. If there was anything valuable, he would snatch it without hesitation.

As for integrity, hidden faction judgments, those things must be put aside in the face of absolute interests.

Next, Fang Linyan controlled [Drone] to continue circling in the air to determine the size of the invisible barrier in midair. He got a result very soon. There should be an area of 1000 square meters in midair. In other words, it should be something like a magical attic. Intuitively, you can understand that there is a large box with an area of ​​1,000 square meters in the air.

The next step was to find the way up.

To be honest, this task was quite difficult. If he wanted to break through the mechanisms set up by Ms. Fredtanya and find the entrance to the magical attic through technical means, he should at least have the level of attainment like Professor Snape.

But at this time, Fang Linyan also had some ideas in his mind. Knowing that he could not find the entrance to the magic attic through the normal way, he chose to jump down from above which was another blind spot of thinking, that is, jumping from the top!

At this time, Fang Linyan was still in the form of a skeleton, so his fingers could be easily stuck in the gap of the rock wall. In addition, the environment inside the cave was quite convenient for climbing, which was the ordinary level of rock climbing.

His strength and agility were almost twice that of ordinary people, and he had the advantage of digitalization, so he easily climbed to the top of the cave. He moved [Drone] to locate the position of the magic attic below, and he let go of his hand.

Probably only after falling for 6 meters, Fang Linyan felt his sternum hit something, then he lay in midair in a strange posture.

Obviously, Fang Linyan hit the top of the magic attic. He took a few steps slowly on the top before receiving a prompt,

“Contestant ZB419, you are a mercenary at this time, because your mission is to eliminate unknown and uncontrollable dangers, so your joint trial badge has a scanning function.”

“Found a secret door concealed with magic. Do you want to spend 1000 common points to scan it?”

“Please note: This magic secret door is of advanced level, so even if you pay 1000 common points, it may not be able to scan successfully.”

“Do you want to perform a scan. Yes/No?”

Fang Linyan finally came here by chance, how could he choose no?

He still had more than 4,000 common points left. No matter how bad his luck was, 4 times should be enough to scan successfully! The decisive choice was…

With the deduction of 1,000 common points, the joint trial badge on Fang Linyan’s chest began to glow. Under the light, the magical attic in the midair finally revealed its mysterious look, but the light emitted by the joint trial badge only lasted for less than 10 seconds and disappeared.

Then came the relentless prompt,

“The scan has failed. Do you want to try again? Yes/No.”

Fang Linyan had the intention to immediately leave, but after hearing the faint screams from outside, he felt that this opportunity was really hard-won. So, he decided again,

“Again!”

“What, still failed!!”

“Again!! I don’t believe it…”

“You you you.”

……

After failing 3 times in a row, Fang Linyan’s hands were shaking slightly. He had the intention to give up, but if he gave up, wouldn’t it mean that the previous 3,000 common points were completely lost?

So at this time, Fang Linyan could only sigh helplessly and invested the last 1,000 common points. The balance of common points became 528…

“Executing scan…”

“Scan failed!!”

The 4th time he saw the prompt that failed to scan, Fang Linyan’s teeth creaked, but he was helpless. He couldn’t really take off the joint trial badge on his neck and smash it.

Just when Fang Linyan was about to leave in frustration, he suddenly found that the magical attic was flickering as if it was out of power. After a few flickers, the layer of invisible shield quickly faded, exposing the entire attic in the air.

And Fang Linyan suddenly lost his support and fell from mid-air, falling right on the floor of the attic! He was still in skeleton form, so it was fine even if he landed with his head first.

“What…. what’s going on?” Fang Linyan was ecstatic, but he was still a little puzzled about the current condition. “Isn’t it prompted that the scan has failed?”

He thought about it for a while, and he immediately came to a more reasonable inference. Although the scan failed 4 times, each scan had consumed the energy of the magical attic.

Perhaps the defensive energy of the magical attic itself was not much. After being drained by the 4 attempts, it was totally exhausted…

In fact, Fang Linyan’s inference was very close to the truth, but when he started the scan for the first time, a tattoo that looked like a scar on the female giant’s body began to warn.

It was just that Ms. Fredtanya was now in a state of excitement, so she couldn’t care about this. Otherwise, she would have rushed in to protect her private property.

Fortunately, Fang Linyan didn’t have obsessive-compulsive disorder to get to the bottom of it to understand the reason. He seized the opportunity and started to look around. At least, he had to earn back the 4,000 common points…

It could be seen that the attic was built by Ms. Fredtanya herself. The furniture, boxes, and even the stairs were strictly according to the figure of the female giant, so it was quite difficult for Fang Linyan to walk in it. A small stool was like a wardrobe to him, so his vision was greatly obstructed.

In desperation, Fang Linyan could only release [Drone] again. His vision expanded instantly. The whole area seemed to be very large, but it was actually divided into 2 areas: the rest area and the magic area.

The magic area was the closest to Fang Linyan. He immediately turned around and saw a wand and various casting materials on his left. From here, the female giant could aim at the corner of the cave tens of meters below and release various magics.

Ms. Fredtanya’s race was a one-eyed giant, so the magic she usually cast was divided into 2 categories: talent magic and normal magic.

Talent magic could be cast without a wand and casting materials, just like fish can live in water without using the magic “aqua breathing”. This was where Ms. Fredtanya practiced normal magic.

“Eh…! This pile of pearl-like casting materials must be valuable!” Fang Linyan rushed up immediately and picked up a few casting materials on the experimental table.

He was very clear that his actions must have been recorded in the hidden log: at a certain time in a certain year, a certain month, a certain day, mercenary ZB419 stole from the giant cave…

But what did that matter?

Fang Linyan was very clear that he was not a person with obsessive morals. Now he was still very weak. As long as he did not do anything that crossed the bottom line, then everything must be aimed at quickly becoming stronger to survive. At the very least, he could give some compensation to the owner.

After taking all the casting materials, Fang Linyan found that they were not worth much. They were just about 400 common points at most.

So he picked up the wand, hesitated and put it down again. He had seen the price of the new wand before, which was only a few Galleons. The point was that he didn’t lack Galleon right now.

Fang Linyan was also a little anxious now, because he knew that he didn’t have much time left. Even if he thought from the perspective of Doctor, he couldn’t find any clue. After all, he really got too little intel.

After checking the magic area again, Fang Linyan ran directly to the rest area, where the female giant built a big bed for herself. She should sleep here on rainy days. Under normal circumstances, people would like to put valuable things in the bedroom.

After coming to the bedroom, Fang Linyan immediately noticed something quite strange, and he was overjoyed. It turned out that there was a small wooden box at the end of the big bed.

TL: Better not be some kind of personal ‘toy’…
