Once again, Li Tianxiang passed through the portal and arrived at the fantasy world of the West that was connected to the Heavenly Market System. To his surprise, after this transmigration, a set of clothes and a horse had been exchanged for him for free based on his financial and strength levels in this world.
Furthermore, the system thoughtfully sent him to an alley where no one was watching.
The only regret was that since there was no one in the alley, it was filled with a foul smell. Thus, Li Tianxiang, who had just come out of the portal, almost fainted from the smell.
Before he could determine his sense of direction, a wretched and mocking laugh was carried by the wind through the alley before entering his ears.
Although the danger index of this world was only two stars in the Heavenly Market, the cautious Li Tianxiang did not want to be nosy.
However, the alley where the laughter came from happened to be along the path he had to take to reach the city square.
Thus, Li Tianxiang could only move carefully in the mud as he gradually approached a corner of the alley where the laughter came from.
He hid himself behind the collapsed roof of a decaying house beside him and carefully stuck his head out.
“That’s enough, my lovely sorceress. At this distance, your magic is not as fast as my daggers.”
A man in leather armor had his back to Li Tianxiang. He was wearing an exaggerated hat with bird feathers on it, and he was constantly playing with two long daggers.
Meanwhile, opposite him were two girls who looked rather young. They were wearing clothes that were similar to the robe that the system had given Li Tianxiang. However, their clothes were now dirty from the mud, and their original style could hardly be seen.
The slightly older girl stood in front of the other girl. She was holding a white staff that was about the same height as her. There was also an earth crystal on the top of the staff.
Li Tianxiang frowned slightly. His goal in coming to this world was to obtain earth crystals. Now that there was a girl with an earth crystal in front of him, he naturally didn’t want to leave just like that.
In reality, be it asking about the earth crystal in the market or in the tavern, asking these girls was clearly a safer choice for Li Tianxiang, who was familiar with the games in the magical world of the West. Of course, the earth crystal was probably just an excuse he came up with to explain his inability to move now.
The slightly older girl’s face was also splattered with mud. The alley was filled with rotten mud as she panted heavily. She held her staff and looked exhausted.
“You can try.”
The girl’s voice was still a little childish, but the resolve contained in it was not inferior to that of anyone else.
Li Tianxiang couldn’t see the expression of the leather-armored man. Instead, the man simply moved his feet, causing the sewage on the ground in the alley to ripple slightly.
The man leaned forward slightly, with one hand in front and the other behind his back. Then, the two daggers in his hands were crossed and aimed at the girl’s neck.
The girl exerted some force with her staff and stood up straight. Then, she muttered something. Soon, the ground in front of her quickly surged as a thick earthen wall rose from the ground and blocked her path.
The man in leather armor chuckled and pressed his hand against the earthen wall. Then, he passed through the girl’s defense like a weightless feather as his daggers fell like lightning.
Li Tianxiang only saw the earthen wall collapse, revealing the man in leather armor and the girl.
At this moment, the man in leather armor had placed the dagger in his right hand on the girl’s neck. Meanwhile, the dagger in his left hand was wandering around her clothes, occasionally picking off a piece of cloth.
As a result, a vast and erotic scene under her clothes was revealed. Meanwhile, the bandits surrounding the streets were whistling excitedly.
The girl’s chin trembled slightly on the dagger. There were tears in her eyes, as if she was about to cry the next moment.
“Stop making a scene, you guys. Invite our sorceresses back and clean them up. This stinky ditch is too foul.”
The gangsters behind him heard this and rushed forward impatiently, wanting to tie the girls up.
“If you only capture me, I won’t resist, but let my sister go. Will that do?”
Although the girl wanted to die from humiliation, she thought of her younger sister, who had long been exhausted, and tried her best to discuss this with the boss of the bandits in this alley.
The leather-clad man patted the girl’s cheek with his dagger and shook his head, as if he were laughing at her naivety.
“What’s the use of resisting?”
Li Tianxiang hid behind half of the roof that had fallen to the ground. His eyes had already narrowed into slits as he silently communicated with the system.
“Can I learn a few other spells now?”
[Yes.]
“Can I see the difference in strength or attributes between me and these bandits?”
This time, the system did not reply quickly. Instead, it only answered emotionlessly after Li Tianxiang turned the remaining four magic books into light and integrated them into his mind.
[It will cost 1,000 gold coins to check the attributes of each enemy. You can check their attributes multiple times within two minutes. As for checking your own attributes, it will cost 50 gold coins. There is no time limit for checking your own attributes.]
“I want to check the attributes of all my enemies.”
After paying 10,000 gold coins, Li Tianxiang obtained the attributes of this man in leather armor.
[Name: Ivan Garcia]
[Class: Thief]
[Level: 13]
[Basic Attribute Evaluation: A]
[Basic Combat Efficacy Evaluation: B-]
Li Tianxiang frowned. He hadn’t expected that he would only be able to obtain a rough evaluation after paying gold coins to see their attributes. He didn’t even know if this letter grade evaluation was relative to his strength or was a general evaluation.
However, seeing that the gangsters were becoming more and more unruly, a cold glint flashed in Li Tianxiang’s eyes.
“Flame Spell.”
Li Tianxiang carefully controlled the Flame Spell and passed through the roof. When he reached the nearby sewage where the people were, he suddenly released the elemental power he had gathered.
There was a loud bang as a mushroom cloud slowly rose in the alley. At the same time, the explosion produced a large amount of smoke.
The bandits were either blown around by the shockwave of the explosion, or they choked on the smoke and coughed. In the meantime, Li Tianxiang quietly leaned against the wall and touched it.
He was right. Garbage filled the mud and even blocked the alleys of the road. Due to the humidity and congestion in this alley, a large amount of methane had accumulated. Thus, as expected, a basic Flame Spell caused a huge explosion.
“Let’s go!” Li Tianxiang bent over and reached the girl’s side. Then, he quickly and softly shouted in her ear.
The girl, who was also dazed by the explosion, finally woke up. She took advantage of the time while the man in leather armor retracted his hand to drive away the smoke and escaped his control.
However, her sister, who was already injured, had fainted. It was clearly impossible for her to escape with her sister now.
Li Tianxiang couldn’t care less about his erotic thoughts. He bent down and carried her unconscious sister. Then, he nodded at the girl and the two of them staggered away from the scene of the explosion..
