I Live on the Land in Global Games

Chapter 16 - 16 15 Healing Truth16: Chapter 15 Healing Truth 16: Chapter 15 Healing Truth A new day began, and by early morning, Mu Ying was engaged in her routine professional cultivation.

Thanks to Cheng Wei’s exaggerated promotions, everyone had grown accustomed to Mu Ying’s method of standing in front of a tree and seemingly spacing out during cultivation.

The only thing that amazed them was the legendary family of sparrows that punctually arrived to keep Mu Ying company and ask for water.

After the expansion of the camp, the number of trees Mu Ying needed to tend to had increased.

Although the benefits of feeling the same tree or type of tree repeatedly would diminish over a short period, even to the point of yielding no harvest, Mu Ying was tireless in her efforts.

These trees, encircled within her territory, were the intangible assets of the land.

By conditioning their natural essence daily and nourishing them with the Recovery Spring, they flourished more and more.

In the morning, she still stayed at home to learn spells.

Mu Ying was quite fast at learning spells, thanks to her higher-than-average Perception Attribute.

Nature always seemed willing to respond to her.

Take Liu Luoluo, for example, with an 11 Perception, she had only just managed to learn the 0-tier magic “Healing Minor Wounds,” and her spell casting was still unstable.

Opening the Player Manual, Mu Ying first glanced at her attribute panel.

“Huh?

Has the Perception attribute been fully assimilated?” She noticed the difference immediately.

[Attributes: Strength 8, Constitution 10, Agility 11, Intelligence 12, Perception 15, Charm 11]

The Perception attribute had changed from “14+1” to “15,” meaning that the extra attribute points she had applied to Perception had been fully assimilated.

Having truly felt the benefits of the Perception attribute during this time, she decided to allocate the remaining 2 Natural Attribute Points to Perception as well.

She added 1 point first, changing Perception to “15+1,” and her Mana Value increased from 60 to 70.

Having preliminarily mastered the entanglement technique yesterday, today, Mu Ying planned to learn the Healing Magic “Healing Truth.”

Healing Truth could heal injuries for targets within the casting range, and the healing effect was related to the caster’s Perception Attribute—the higher the Perception, the better the healing effect.

If the caster made direct contact with the target during the spell casting, the healing effect would be enhanced as well.

After she had grasped the theoretical aspects of the spell and the key points of casting, she found herself without a target to test her new skills; casting the spell on herself, even if successful, would not help her gauge the extent of her healing.

As noon approached, Mu Ying left the Tree House and started looking for a target in the camp.

Most of the people had gone out, and those who remained in the camp had no injuries.

“Forget it, I’ll try another time,” she was about to give up when she saw a group of people running frantically into the camp.

“What happened?

What’s going on?” She stopped Li Wei and the others.

“We hadn’t been out long today when we encountered a group surrounded by zombies.

Some of our classmates were among them.

We barely managed to help them escape, but many were injured by zombies; Luoluo’s boyfriend got hurt the worst...”

Following her gaze, Mu Ying saw Liu Luoluo crouching beside a boy, casting a spell.

Unfortunately, given the depth of the wounds, the effects of the 0-tier magic were minimal.

Fortunately, as professionals, they didn’t have to worry about zombie infections; though the wounds were deep, they were not lethal.

“Luoluo, may I try?

I just started learning healing magic today,” Mu Ying was eager to practice.

“Yes, yes, yes,” Liu Luoluo’s eyes sparkled with excitement; she had been overflowing with confidence in Mu Ying since the night before.

She moved aside to make space for Mu Ying, not forgetting to comfort her boyfriend, “Ahqing, don’t worry, Sister Mu is definitely better than me!”

Mu Ying wasn’t actually sure how effective she would be, but she diligently performed the spell and chose to make contact to enhance the effect.

Fortunately, her previous studies had paid off, and she succeeded on her first try.

Different from Liu Luoluo, the spell light that appeared in Mu Ying’s palm was green, significantly stronger in both concentration and size than Liu Luoluo’s Healing Minor Wounds.

After all, one was a first circle spell and the other was a zero circle spell, and her perception attribute was even higher.

The light covered the wound on Si Qing’s arm.

Liu Luoluo, seeing Si Qing biting his lip, asked with concern, “Ahqing, does it hurt?”

“Hmm...

it doesn’t hurt anymore, it’s just really itchy...” said Si Qing through clenched teeth.

“Then it must be working, just bear with it a little,” Liu Luoluo felt relieved and gradually shifted her focus to Mu Ying, who was casting the spell; other people’s spells always seemed more impressive than hers.

If her spell was like a band-aid, Mu Ying’s was like a bandage, and she might not be a fake priest after all.

When the spell casting was over, and seeing that the wound had mostly healed, Mu Ying felt at ease—the druid’s healing capability wasn’t too shabby!

“Hey, those zombies have followed us here, everyone who has a weapon, get ready, after we fight them off, we’ll distribute the loot based on the kill record!” Li Wei shouted loudly, taking a strategic position at the camp gate.

Mu Ying looked back and saw, heavens, so many?

The zombies in Forest Park might all be here?

She hurried home to grab a hoe, and by the time she returned, everyone had already lined up at the camp’s boundary.

Mu Ying, swinging the hoe, after applying the Oak Stick Technique, found the ordinarily slightly heavy hoe to feel light as a feather.

She executed the standard hoeing motions, creating afterimages, and wherever she passed, heads burst open as if flowers were blooming.

[You killed a zombie × 1, gained Slaughter Experience × 1, copper coins × 3]

[You killed a zombie × 1, gained Slaughter Experience × 1, copper coins × 3]

...

[You killed a zombie × 1, currently at the maximum level for Slaughter Experience use, no more Slaughter Experience gained, copper coins × 3]

After realizing she had reached the cap for Slaughter Experience, Mu Ying stopped, and there weren’t many zombies left anyway.

Since they hadn’t picked up the loot yet, the zombie corpses piled up in the front, blocking the scattered zombies in the back.

Mu Ying used the entanglement technique to trap them and dragged them to the gate, making it easier for others to kill them.

During the distribution of spoils later, Liu Luoluo cheekily asked, “Sister Ying, could you reveal your strength attribute?

I promise I won’t tell anyone!

Look at those men’s eyes; after today, they definitely won’t say you’re all level and no power anymore!

Haha!”

“The day before yesterday you called me Sister Mu, yesterday you called me Mu Ying, and today you call me sister?” said Mu Ying, not amused.

Thinking back to their first meeting when she tried to team up with her for her advantage, Liu Luoluo felt embarrassed about her past self.

Today’s high schoolers are something else, she thought.

Watching that girl who looks so soft, even half a head shorter than her—who would have thought she wielded the hoe with such finesse?

The impact was massive, especially since it all happened during broad daylight, and Liu Luoluo was close enough to see everything clearly.

She had decisively decided to cling to Mu Ying’s powerful performance, so calling her “little sister” was out of the question!

Mu Ying was indifferent to her persistence; considering her age from her previous life, Liu Luoluo calling her sister was acceptable.

But these were all trivial matters.

The important thing was that she was about to level up.

[Profession: Druid Level 1 (94/100)]

She was just 6 professional experience points away from leveling up!

Unfortunately, her mana was nearly exhausted, and she didn’t dare to leave the camp for now.

She could only look for ways within the camp, where there wasn’t much left to be gleaned from the trees.
