I Might As Well Quit This Lousy Wizard Profession

Chapter 67 - 67 066 Body Repair Spiritual Liquid

?Chapter 67: 066 Body Repair Spiritual Liquid Chapter 67: 066 Body Repair Spiritual Liquid Lin An carefully observed the emergence of the spiritual essence shaped like wolf ears in that obscure realm.

So far, in that mysterious realm, whose location he didn’t know, there were three paintings and five types of spiritual essence.

The illustrations of a fawn, the portrait of a black cat, the painting of a creature with green skin.

All that remained was a tiny bit of Chen Xinmi’s dark gold statue blood, Zhou Xiaoxiao’s amber-like spiritual essence droplets, Zheng Miao’s milky white droplets that resembled liquid pearls, and Chen Shuyun’s dark gold statue blood that rippled like a lake.

Lastly, there was a fluffy wolf ear.

Lin An looked curiously at this wolf ear, trying to harness this spiritual essence to aid his brainpower, when suddenly a sharp buzzing sound erupted in his ears.

“Hiss~”
He drew a breath of cool air, clutching his right ear, but he couldn’t stop the buzzing noise inside it no matter what he did.

The buzzing noise seemed to consist of countless overlapping sounds; it was so uncomfortable to listen to that Lin An hurriedly severed the connection with the grey wolf ear’s spiritual essence.

Wait a minute…

A light flashed before Lin An’s eyes as he thought of a possibility and once again summoned the grey wolf ear’s essence, his ears filling up again with countless buzzing sounds.

He endured the discomfort, quickly harnessing Chen Shuyun’s dark gold statue’s spiritual blood to help enhance his brainpower.

In just a moment, the buzzing sounds grew louder and clearer.

They had more layers.

——(Zheng Miao) Wow, damn, our idol’s work could go to a digital art competition, it’s amazing, just incredible…

——(Young Boss) Hahaha, Mr. Chen, you flatter me. We are absolutely determined to win the outsourcing project for your company; you will feel our sincerity…

——(Mr. Liu) No way, have I been playing too much? Why is one of my ears ringing? Am I that drained? I actually feel drained? No, no, I have to get those antlers as soon as possible!

——(A colleague from the new office art department) Lu Jiao Software used to be so badass for a reason, look at the fineness of this building’s modeling…

——(Someone from the neighboring company) Damn, I’m going to resign, I’m resigning! I’m out of here!

…

Besides the voices of different people on the same floor, there were various sounds of computer cases operating, footsteps, the rustling of cockroaches across the ceiling, the dripping sounds from the toilet faucet, the noise from inside the elevator shaft…

An endless array of sounds, like a massive data packet, rushed towards Lin An as he harnessed the spiritual essence to assist his brain.

He quickly severed the connection to the spiritual essence and lay on his office chair, gasping for air.

Damn, this thing is potent!

Spiritual essence, indeed has endless amazing uses~
When Lin An first encountered spiritual essence, he thought he might have developed some sort of visual impediment. It was only after he accidentally discovered that Chen Xinmi had blown up Professor Cao’s home that he realized this world had supernatural powers behind it.

From that moment on, he has been ceaselessly exploring the possibilities within spiritual essence, observing, communicating, drawing, passively absorbing to actively harnessing these essences to aid himself…

He never gave up seeking any possibility.

Lin An didn’t want to miss out on even the slightest chance.

After taking a short rest, he summoned the spiritual essence again and immediately entered a deeper level of the ‘Spirit Cat Body Stretching Skill’s Breathing Technique—the Spirit Cat State.

In such a state, even though he was just sitting in an office chair, holding onto the desk, there was a feeling akin to a black cat crouching, ready to pounce and hunt at any moment.

Then, in that state, he harnessed more spiritual essence to assist his brain, and once again summoned the wolf ear.

Buzz, buzz, buzz…

With just a slight buzzing, all the sounds once again surged into his head with distinct layers.

Lin An discovered that in this state, his hearing inexplicably had a clear grasp of all the sounds.

He could hear the sound of clothes rustling, accompanied by the clacking of high heels, and judged how a person was walking from their workstation to the water dispenser.

The direction from which that sound came, the extension of distance, was utterly unique.

Then, as if by instinct, he moved his ears, and suddenly many sounds were blocked out.

All the subtle noises disappeared, and after a while, even the sounds from the next company vanished, leaving only the voices from the old office area next door.

Lin An felt as if he were lying in a corner of a tall forest, focusing his attention to make the sounds coming from a specific direction become clearer, while the other sounds drifted far away becoming faint.

—— (Mr. Liu) “Hello? Is this Tree Hole? I’d like to buy some more of that secret medicine from ‘Mr. Rabbit with a Carrot’ – the kind that instantly heals internal injuries.”

—— (Voice on the phone) “Body Repair Spiritual Liquid, priced uniformly at 200,000. Please transfer 200,000 to the account (Shenhou Bank 622202250500xxxxx), and we will arrange for the medicine to be randomly dropped somewhere in the city. Please pay attention to the text message when the time comes.”

—— (Mr. Liu) “Alright, already transferred the money, I understand. I can receive the message in an hour, right?”

—— (Voice on the phone) The dial tone of a hung-up call.

—— (Mr. Liu) “Damn it! These accursed witches! I’ve given so much for you, and still I have to follow the process to buy some medicine! Damn it! Just you wait, all of you wait! Once I get those antlers, ha, I will become a Witch-hunting Knight, and I will hunt you down one by one!”

—— The sound of flushing —— footsteps —— dealing with a subordinate’s flattery…
Lin An’s expression flickered, and he stopped trying to use his spiritual senses.

Using spiritual senses as an aid required consumption. Although there was no qualitative difference in spiritual energy, there were differences in properties and quantity, which he had already figured out.

He felt the ears of that spiritual grey wolf deep within, and although no change was discernable yet, he could tell that some energy had already been consumed.

This thing, like the blood of a dark gold statue, was similarly consumable.

Privately noting down some of the information he had just heard, Lin An had no intention of focusing all his attention on Mr. Liu; he had his own things to do.

Now, he no longer needed Mr. Liu’s spiritual grey wolf; just looking at those grey wolf ears was enough for him to draw a picture of grey-blue wolf fur.

He opened the modeling software’s tool palette, selected the hair module in modeling, and quickly immersed himself in it.

To say it was grey-blue was not accurate. The fur of this grey wolf was actually quite beautiful, with the elegant quality of flowing silk, faintly shimmering with sapphire blue luster, yet overall it had a brooding depth, like a pool of unknown depth with a gently shaking surface.

To be precise, Mr. Liu was like Lin An, both walking on a knife’s edge, constantly at risk of slipping and being sliced into pieces.

But this old hand had a certain depth and seemed to carry a hint of…

Casualness?

Lin An didn’t know where Mr. Liu’s casualness lay, but it seemed that spiritual senses didn’t lie, even if he disliked Mr. Liu, he wouldn’t let his emotions affect his observations of the man.

To objectively, rationally, and cautiously analyze an enemy, that was the smart choice.

However, sometimes Mr. Liu had a way of being so annoying that one couldn’t be objective; as another grey wolf appeared in the office, Lin An sighed helplessly.

“I don’t have time for you right now.”

He stood up languidly, intending to draw the curtains of the floor-to-ceiling window nearby.

Just then, the grey wolf snarled with a cold laugh.

—— “I don’t have time for you either. The medicine I ordered from the Tree Hole Organization has finally arrived. Damn it, they actually placed it underneath the washbasin in the restroom of the subway station next to the software park.”

The grey wolf narrowed its eyes, “It’s clear they know I work here. This is a warning to me. Those evil witches of the Dark and White Factions are both threatening me to side with them.”

Lin An couldn’t help feeling somewhat relieved that he hadn’t joined the ‘Crazy Male Witch’s Tree Hole’; Dark Wizards, White Wizards, ordinary people, and the City Witches’ Association always ready to probe the situation and launch a purge, pfft, what a mess.

“Then don’t stare at the monitors, go get your medicine!” Lin An rolled his eyes; he was busy and didn’t have the time to deal with this guy.

“I want to go get it too!” The grey wolf looked equally frustrated, “But damn it, I’m in a meeting; Lu Dexian seems to be planning to take us to Antler Software to discuss outsourcing matters, and I can’t be absent.”

“Damn, looks like I’ll be busy all day. Everything’s piling up at once, and someone better not take it. Those damn wizards don’t care who picks up the goods, these maniacs even enjoy watching this kind of drama unfold.”

“Really now…” Lin An’s eyes lit up, smiling slyly as he looked at the grey wolf before him.
