Dimensional Codex System: I'm really not a cultist!-Chapter 169 - 168: Appearance is Masayuki!

Chapter 169: Chapter 168: Appearance is Masayuki!

Days like these aren’t too bad either.

Sitting leisurely in a chair, gazing at the scenery outside while contentedly petting the kitten in his lap, Fang Zheng closed his eyes and yawned with satisfaction.

Peace, peace was truly the best thing, without having to care about the deadly fight between order and chaos, nor having to think about any tedious matters. Just idly being a salted fish in a border town, even getting to pet cats with Little Angel all day without a thought in the world, such leisurely days needed to be thoroughly enjoyed.

Toward that end, Fang Zheng opened the Dimensional Codex.

The Cash Summon cooldown had ended, but Fang Zheng did not start it immediately because this Cash Summon clearly stated a condition—”World Instance Attribute Summon UP.”

That meant, similar to the angel class summon he had restricted previously when completing a mission, this Cash Summon was restricted by instance attributes. This implied that if Fang Zheng entered a science fiction world, this Cash Summon’s ten consecutive pulls would all be science fiction entities, and if it were a magic world, they would be Magic.

...

Precisely because of this, Fang Zheng decided not to perform the Cash Summon immediately, but to wait until the next instance world opened. He now hoped to acquire a Magic Soulstone, at least… one ought to let a person live smoothly. Currently, Malthael and Arthas were temporarily unavailable, and Kerrigan was also not good to release; it was necessary to find a new major move.

As for Ezio and 47… 47 was still somewhat useful, but Ezio? Fang Zheng might be stronger than him now!

Summoning had no damn use!

“Master, look, I did it!”

Hearing Little Angel’s voice, Fang Zheng opened his eyes and looked toward Nymph next to him. She was holding a small silver ring, her face alight with an excited smile.

“You did? Try it out!”

“Alright.”

While saying this, Nymph extended her hand to gently tap the ring. Soon, a transparent barrier formed around the little one, protecting her. Seeing this barrier, Fang Zheng also raised his right hand, and immediately several Magic Missiles shot out, striking in front of Nymph. Under the impact of the Magic Missiles, the barrier in front of Nymph flashed a few times before returning to its original form.

“The strength isn’t bad.”

Looking at the Magic Barrier in front of him, Fang Zheng nodded in satisfaction.

If this world were a novel, then Nymph could clearly be labeled as a protagonist with an “Alchemy Specialization.” The little one’s combat strength was terribly weak, but she was frighteningly strong in precision work. Alchemy, a discipline that demands high precision, made Nymph thrive after mastering the basics, storming through as if a primary school student had finished middle, high school, and the first year of college in half a month, waiting to directly start a combined master’s and PhD program.

Even those who write novels wouldn’t dare to write it this way.

But Nymph just managed to do it.

Of course, considering that she was an angel, this wasn’t too surprising.

According to Fang Zheng’s observation, in Alchemy, precision is the highest standard required. Just like industrial science in his world, the higher the precision in Alchemy, the greater the power.

Just like the Magic Shield Nymph had just released, it was a Magic Shield cast by a Third-Tier Mage Apprentice, but Nymph made it with the strength of a Level Five standard, which was Alchemy’s boost. A good alchemy tool can enhance the power of the magic released.

Mages can also achieve this, and even more conveniently. But considering Alchemy and Magic are two different systems, it’s quite rare.

This would also be another reason Fang Zheng supported Nymph’s study of Alchemy. Mages have limitations in their spell slots, and Alchemy has similar limitations, but mages combined with Alchemy could cast more spells and enhance their power. If Nymph could learn Advanced Alchemy, then it would naturally be all benefits and no drawbacks for Fang Zheng.

“However, protection class spells are best made triggerable. You should clearly understand, for mages, often the enemy acts with intent against the unprepared, and won’t give you any chance to cast spells. Even for alchemists, it’s somewhat more convenient compared to mages. First, protect against physical attacks, then quickly create distance; I think a Fixed-point Teleportation Spell would be a great choice.”

“I understand, Master.”

Nymph was also very serious about listening to Fang Zheng’s advice. After the battle at the Sanctuary, she understood that she must make up for this shortcoming. If at that time Nymph had been able to defend against Connie’s attack, perhaps the situation would have been different. Of course, her master didn’t put this matter too much to heart. But for Nymph, she absolutely would not allow such an incident to happen again.

“But… this requires a lot of expensive Alchemy Materials…”

“Leave it to me, money is no object.”

Fang Zheng waved his hand grandly, completely unconcerned with Nymph’s worries. They were now connected with the Alchemists’ Association, and Fang Zheng could also covertly obtain some valuable resources through the Death Exchange. Of course, the quantity couldn’t be too much to avoid arousing the suspicions of assassins from the shadows, but if it was just for Nymph’s use, it would be enough.

Actually, Fang Zheng had also considered obtaining Soul Crystals through the Death Exchange. Low-grade Soul Crystals are easy to come by but don’t fetch a high recharge amount. If he could get those high-quality Soul Crystals, then the recharge for a High-Tier Soul Crystal would probably be worth hundreds of Low-grade Soul Crystals.

Although according to the rules of the Death Exchange, Fang Zheng could also propose his own compensation requests, he couldn’t do that. Because currently in the Death Exchange, he was playing the part of a “Grim Reaper without a trace.” At least on the surface, he did not kill for compensation; receiving compensation seemed more like an incidental act.

This was also a mystique deliberately laid out by Fang Zheng. Maintaining a sense of mystery was very important. Once he had a request, it would be detected by others, and once the other party knew what he needed, things would get complicated.

So, Fang Zheng would occasionally visit the Death Exchange, quietly watching those commissions, hoping to find some that paid in High-Tier Soul Crystals. Unfortunately, his luck was not great, and he hadn’t encountered any …

Nanali had once suggested that Miss Nymph apply for Alchemist certification, but Fang Zheng disagreed. It wasn’t that he was reluctant to let go of the Little Angel, but Miss Nymph’s origins were too unique and her performance so remarkable that she was bound to attract attention once discovered.

After all, they were here to keep a low profile, treating any extra attention with disdain.

Although becoming an alchemist would grant access to more resources and guidance from the Association, Miss Nymph did not need such things. The Little Angel’s scientific capabilities were unprecedented. She could simply scan the structure and materials of any alchemy tools and immediately deduce their principles and processes, using them to enhance her own Alchemy.

In this case, Miss Nymph saw no need to undergo what she referred to as “re-education for the poor countryside.”

At least in Miss Nymph’s eyes, the civilization of the Main World was of this standard. The Little Angel had complained to Fang Zheng more than once that if she could only get back in touch with Synapsus, the mere Kingdom of the Holy Church … how it would have been.

“Mr. Ezio, I am back!”

Just then, Nanali’s voice came from outside the door, and hearing her shout, Fang Zheng also stood up and played with the kitten in his hands.

“It seems like it went well.”

Previously, when Nanali went alone, she was as nervous as if she was heading to the gallows, but now, by the sound of her voice, it was clear that things had progressed smoothly, or else the girl wouldn’t be so happy. Then, Fang Zheng saw the door open, and shortly after, Nanali came in with a cheerful smile.

“Mr. Ezio! Miss Nymph! I’m back, and everything went smoothly!”

“Good to hear it went well.”

Truth be told, when Nanali went alone, Fang Zheng was somewhat worried. Based on the plot of the novels he had read, he feared that someone in the Alchemists’ Association might covet Nanali’s invention and attempt to take it forcefully, or perhaps even threaten her… Now, it seemed he had read too many novels.

Hearing Nanali’s response, Fang Zheng smiled slightly, then he stood up and looked at the girl next to Nanali.

“This is …”

“Ah, she’s my good friend, named Kuliya … Kuliya?”

“Ah?!”

Since entering the workshop, Kuliya had been staring at Fang Zheng, seeming dazed. Seeing her friend’s expression, Nanali was puzzled and gently tugged at her, but at that moment, Kuliya seemed to come to her senses and hurriedly showed a nervous smile to Fang Zheng.

“Ah, hello, my name is Kuliya. von. Granz.”

“I am Ezio. Auditore, nice to meet you, Miss Kuliya.”

Fang Zheng shamelessly plagiarized someone else’s name, using it merely as a cover.

“Kuliya is my good friend and also a staff member of the Alchemists’ Association. She came with me this time mainly to check on the greenhouse conditions.”

“I see.”

Hearing Nanali’s response, Fang Zheng nodded, then stood up.

“It just so happens, I was planning to check on that myself. Let’s go together.”

“Ah, yes, I’m sorry to trouble you.”

Listening to Fang Zheng’s response, Kuliya bowed respectfully, while Fang Zheng didn’t say much, just smiled and went back to his room to get his clothes. Until Fang Zheng left, Nanali curiously looked at her friend.

“Why so honest all of a sudden?”

Truth be told, Nanali was quite worried just now because on the way here, Kuliya was nonstop chattering, almost believing that the other party was a fraud. She had solemnly assured Nanali that if she just went there, the man’s true colors would come to light. But now her demeanor… why did she seem even more obedient than Mr. Auditore’s kitten?

“I, how am I not being honest? Don’t talk nonsense … But that gentleman … really seems like a good person, so graceful and composed, and also so handsome…”

“Didn’t you emphatically tell me that Mr. Auditore was definitely not a good person before?”

Seeing her friend looking starstruck, Nanali was utterly baffled. Upon hearing Nanali’s question, Kuliya gave her a stare.

“What are you saying, Nanali? He’s so handsome, how could he be a bad guy?”
