Adventure: My Skills Evolve Infinitely

As they ventured deeper into the Loran Forest, they encountered fewer and fewer Adventurers.

Conversely, the Goblins they met became more and more numerous.

[Ice Cone Skill]!

Lin Mo unleashed another Ice Cone, which pierced through the Goblin in front of him at incredible speed.

Unfortunately, the angle wasn’t good enough, so it failed to take out the Goblin’s companion standing beside it.

But it didn’t matter. Lin Mo wasn’t as short on Magic Power now. The same went for his Spirit. Casting a few Ordinary Level spells didn’t put much strain on him.

So, he raised his hand again. A crystal-blue Ice Cone rapidly formed and shot forward. This time, he chose the angle perfectly, piercing through the two remaining Goblins at once.

[Ice Cone Skill] Skill Level +3!

However, since [Ice Cone Skill] had just reached Level 4, it was still a long way from leveling up again.

’A battle... if you could even call it that.’ In any case, with the Goblins in front of them defeated, the group continued onward. Landon, however, stared thoughtfully at the Goblins with holes pierced through their chests.

He remembered how shocked he’d been when he first saw Lin Mo use Magic. At the time, he was shocked that a Warrior could even use Magic. But Lin Mo’s Magic Level back then hadn’t been very high—not even at the level of a Professional.

But now... how many days had it been since the incident in Silver Moon Town?

Lin Mo’s Magic Level had already completely surpassed that of an average Professional. He might have even reached the standard of a Level 2 Professional!

’What kind of monster is this kid?’

Landon recalled the many hardships he faced when he first started learning Magic, and he was suddenly overcome with emotion.

In his youth, he had been arrogant and refused to listen to his elders’ advice. His teacher at the time once told him, "Never think of yourself as a genius, because there will always be someone in this world more talented than you."

At the time, Landon, whose progress in Magic far surpassed his peers, hadn’t listened at all. He had simply scoffed at the idea.

But as he grew older, he had gradually come to truly understand the meaning behind those words.

And Lin Mo’s appearance was like a living example, convincing him of its truth with a force that left no room for doubt.

’Some things that seem unbelievable to you are perhaps just another insignificant, ordinary day for a genius...’

The party continued onward, encountering many waves of Demons along the way. There were Goblins and other types of Demons, but no matter what they faced, Lin Mo greeted them all with his [Ice Cone Skill].

The consumption for this Ordinary Level Magic wasn’t high to begin with. Plus, since he wasn’t casting it constantly, he had time to recover some Magic Power, so there was little need to worry about running out.

And under such high-intensity practice, the Skill Level of his [Ice Cone Skill] naturally rose as well.

[Ice Cone Skill] Skill Level +5!

After taking care of another five-Goblin squad, Lin Mo glanced at his status panel. The skill’s progress was now at Level 4 (43/100).

’Still so much more to go...’

In truth, this speed wasn’t slow at all. In the past, gaining this much Skill Level in half a morning was unthinkable.

It was just that his progress back in Silver Moon Town had been too fast, creating a stark contrast with his current pace.

’I heard some other nearby cities are also having Goblin problems. Maybe I should consider going there?’

After some thought, Lin Mo temporarily gave up on the idea.

’Setting aside the travel time, I can’t just drag Feney and the others so far away. If Feney doesn’t go, Shefilya won’t go either. And if that happens, what if Lawrence decides to pull something...?’

Lin Mo hadn’t forgotten that he was most likely on Lawrence’s kill list.

’Inside Silver Stream City, they can’t touch me. In the forest, I have Shefilya’s protection, so I should be fine. But without those safeguards, it’s a different story.’

’It’s better to just do the quests steadily. Stay low, don’t make waves. With my growth rate, it won’t be long before I’m powerful enough to beat those damn nobles until they can’t find their own teeth!’

"We’re not far from the Goblin Settlement. We should rest for a bit."

Landon glanced at the map, then at the sky.

Lin Mo was very familiar with this rhythm. After all, he had done the quest to clear out a Goblin Settlement many times and was quite experienced.

Starting from Silver Stream City, you would usually arrive near the Goblin Settlement around noon. If you were early, you’d rest for a while. If you were late, you’d just attack directly. In any case, the strategy was to strike when the Goblins were sleepy and lethargic in the afternoon.

This was true even for High Level Adventurers.

No matter how strong you were, you still wanted to achieve maximum results with minimum effort. Efficiency was key.

So, they rested on the spot for a while. Feney and Ali very naturally sidled up to Lin Mo, staring at him with expectant eyes.

Lin Mo knew what they were waiting for: his special-recipe mini-burgers.

Speaking of which, because their last trip was to provide support for Silver Moon Town, it had been a while since he’d made them.

It was much more convenient to make them now, too. He didn’t even need to start a fire; he could just use the Magic Power of the Fire Element to conjure a Fireball. It was convenient, fast, and saved time and effort.

He made three mini-burgers in a row. Just as Lin Mo was about to put the ingredients away, he paused and made one more.

After finishing, he glanced around, placed it on a napkin, and set it down under a nearby tree.

After chatting with Landon and the others for a bit, he turned his head back to look, and the "burger" was already gone.

"Lin Mo, this way you eat is pretty interesting... Even though they’re simple ingredients, eating them together is completely different from eating them separately."
