……
Zhou Ze stared blankly at the semi-transparent panel that suddenly appeared in the distorted air above the campfire.
This thing...
Is it your own cheat code?
It's been three days since I transmigrated to this world, and the system has finally arrived.
In his previous life, Zhou Ze was an ordinary staff member of the Municipal Housing and Construction Bureau. He was a 30-year-old single man who spent his time playing games and reading novels after work. Although he was not rich, he was quite comfortable.
Three days ago, he was working overtime until midnight. On the empty street, he suddenly had a sudden idea and wanted to imitate Garen's spinning posture. So he picked up two tree branches from the roadside and started dancing under the streetlights.
"Demacia!"
Two beams of light suddenly shone on him, like spotlights on a one-man show.
Is anyone else cooperating?
He turned around with delight, only to see a massive truck hurtling straight into his face.
When he woke up again, he had arrived on a continent called Edland and become an eighteen-year-old boy named "Wilde".
damn it.
Wilder cursed inwardly.
In his past life, he was a civil servant who was extremely restrained in his words and deeds. He only let loose once, and he died as a result.
Fortunately, he was reborn in a Western fantasy world of swords and magic.
Unfortunately, this cheat code...
It seems to be of little use.
The moment he inherited the original owner's memories, he knew that he was a mage, and that he only knew two basic spells: [Grease] and [Grease the soles of the feet].
Completely harmless, it's more like a slippery wanderer than a mage.
The system simply marks these two spells, which feels as boring as marking a movie as "watched" on Douban. What's the point except to show off your movie viewing experience on social media?
By the way, there were no cell phones or social media platforms like WeChat Moments in this world.
Wilder looked away from the campfire, and the semi-transparent light curtain disappeared.
He was in a makeshift adventure camp.
Although it was called a campsite, apart from the campfire, there was only a simple sleeping mat next to it.
The human lying on one side of the mattress rolled over, shook his shoulders a few times, and finally opened his eyes helplessly.
Cyrion, the leader of this adventure team.
A soldier, around thirty years old.
The firelight illuminated his rough face, making him look quite energetic, but this was clearly an illusion.
The team had been wandering in the border forest for three days. Due to insufficient supplies and the fear of encountering monsters, everyone's morale was very low.
"Tired? Let me take over the second half of the night."
Cyrion walked up to him.
"It's alright, I'm not too sleepy," Wilde replied, adding a few twigs to the campfire.
It's now the month of budding spring, which is March. The branches are quite moist, making a crackling sound as they sit in the fire.
"A little nervous?"
Cyrion pulled a burlap sack from his pocket, took out a small piece of dried birch bark, and rolled some tobacco into it with his other hand.
"Take a puff? Authentic Karatu tobacco can calm you down quite a bit."
Wilder shook his head and declined; he didn't smoke even before his rebirth.
Cyrion picked up a twig from the campfire and lit a cigarette. The wisps of smoke drifted out, adding a touch of warmth to the bleak night.
"Don't worry, the kobolds aren't much of a fighter." He took a drag of his cigarette and reassured them, "Just think of them as village dogs. They can stand up, but they're nothing special."
"Yes, thank you, Captain." Wilder nodded.
This mission involves clearing out a group of kobolds on the outskirts of the border forest; it's classified as "easy" by the Adventurers' Guild.
To say I wasn't nervous would be a lie.
Not only is this Wilder's first adventure, but it's also the first time for his original self.
Unfortunately, he had already entered the border forest when he crossed over. If he hadn't been unfamiliar with the area, he would have run away long ago.
Even in a world of swords and magic, you don't necessarily have to be an adventurer, right?
As long as adventurers need to eat, they will need chefs and pastry chefs.
As long as the Adventurers' Guild is to operate, it needs civil servants.
Wilder had already planned it all out. After this job, he would find a job in town that had nothing to do with magic. With his experience from his previous life in modern society, he might even be able to become a civil servant.
As for the "Greasy Technique" and "Greedy Feet" that he had already mastered, he didn't cherish them too much.
None of them seem to be powerful spells for mages.
He only inherited vague memories of his predecessor and didn't know why he chose to learn these two spells. Maybe it was because magic scrolls were cheaper?
It's quite suitable for running away.
"Since you're feeling much better, go get some sleep." Cyrion patted him on the shoulder. "We have a long journey ahead tomorrow, and you won't have the energy if you're tired."
Wilder nodded, added some more branches to the fire, and then got up and walked to the sleeping mat on one side.
A dwarf lay there sprawled out, snoring loudly.
Gru, another warrior in the group.
Another teammate wasn't on the sleeping mat, but was leaning against the tree trunk behind him, his eyes slightly closed, sleeping peacefully.
The moonlight shone on his pale skin and somewhat pointed ears, making him look like a true elf.
Unfortunately, it was only half.
Lyle, a half-elf ranger.
Wilder lay on a fur sleeping mat that was barely any mat at all, feeling only a little sleepy, and gazed up at the starry night sky.
A few seconds later, the semi-transparent light screen reappeared in front of them.
[The Art of Grease]...
Here comes another useless cheat code.
Wilder subconsciously shook his head, wanting to get rid of the system and not let it interfere with his stargazing.
did not expect.
As he moved his head, the system page did not disappear; instead, it switched content as if flipping through a page.
