Chapter 346: The Wrath of the God of Fire!
After eating her fill, Anthony slumped onto the chair, let out a satisfied burp, and then seeing Li Xiang watching her, she lowered her head shyly.
"Tha... Thank you."
"You're welcome."
"Alright, tell me, what is the favor you need me to help with?"
"I..."
Anthony raised her head and looked at Li Xiang, "I want those children to be able to grow up in a different environment, I want them to have a future..."
After speaking, Anthony nervously looked at Li Xiang.
She knew her request was very rude.
But... she had no other choice.
She couldn't bear to watch those children grow up in such an environment.
Children who grew up in that environment, their future prospects... prostitutes, servants...
Some might not even live to adulthood.
Li Xiang fell into contemplation.
After a moment, under Anthony's nervous gaze, he slowly spoke, "Alright, but I also have a condition."
Anthony said happily, "Tell me!"
"After I fulfill your request, besides giving me the Divine-grade ability of the God of Fire, you will also work for me."
Anthony didn't expect the request to be so simple, "But... after I turn into a Human, I will just be an ordinary Human, without any abilities. I can't even make the Demon Warriors in the Rock Fire Forest come out..."
"If you want me to work for you, besides being a freeloader, I have nothing to offer..."
Speaking of this, she widened her eyes and looked at Li Xiang, raising her hand to protect herself, "Pervert! Pervert! Pervert! You even target children!"
Li Xiang's face twitched, "You misunderstood... I'm not interested in children. If I had a younger sister, you'd probably be around the same age as her."
"You are a Fire Spirit, so using fire-attribute magic is definitely not a problem. But you don't use magic, you probably haven't had the chance to access it, right?"
Anthony lowered her hand, "Magic... that's something only nobles among Humans can access."
"Then it's settled."
"Mhm mhm!"
...
Afterward, Li Xiang took Anthony and all the children from the dark alley, totaling over twenty, back to Adam City.
He then found City Lord Hademan, invested two hundred thousand gold coins to build a 'Blessed Nursery' in the city, and hired professional educators to teach these children.
"Why is it called that?"
Anthony watched the children playing actively in the nursery, her face full of smiles, and asked Li Xiang curiously.
Li Xiang, now in her Pumpkin identity, looked at the sky, "Because they are all God-given children, aren't they?"
Anthony was slightly startled, then smiled, "Thank you."
After speaking, she walked up to Li Xiang, stood on her tiptoes, and lightly pecked Li Xiang's cheek.
Li Xiang was stunned.
【Ding! Congratulations on acquiring the Divine-grade ability 'Wrath of the God of Fire'】
Li Xiang recovered and checked the effects of this Divine-grade ability.
'Wrath of the God of Fire'
Effect 1: Base damage x2 in fire environments.
Effect 2: Restore 10% HP per second in fire environments.
Effect 3: When using fire-attribute skills, damage x10.
Effect 4: Can survive in any fire environment and has absolute invincibility.
Effect 5: Unknown.
"So strong!!!"
It's very similar to the Blessing of the Ocean God ability.
Only, it changed from water-attribute skills to fire-attribute skills.
Effect 4 has changed.
In a fire environment, there is absolute invincibility.
This means no negative effects will be received.
All along, Li Xiang has had a weakness.
That is, as a player, no matter how powerful their stats are, they will still be affected by various negative status effects.
In this regard, BOSSes completely overpower players. As a BOSS, even the lowest-level BOSS has complete invincibility.
Therefore, this cannot be called a weakness, but rather a characteristic determined by being a player.
With this effect, there will be many more tricks to play in the future, and this weakness can also be somewhat compensated for.
"Thank you, Anthony."
Anthony nodded, "Then... should I call you Master from now on?"
Master?
Li Xiang shook his head, "Working for me means doing things for me, not becoming my slave. Hmm... my name is Pumpkin, you can call me Pumpkin."
"That's not your real name, is it?"
Real name?
Li Xiang revealed his ID.
"This is my real name."
Anthony shook her head, "Alright then, I'll call you Sister Pumpkin from now on."
Li Xiang: ...
"Can you drop the 'Sister'?"
"No, this can also help you hide your identity, can't it?"
"Hiss... I think you have a point."
"Let's go then."
"Where to?" Anthony asked curiously.
"I'm taking you to meet someone."
The Profession Hall in Adam City.
Li Xiang had never been to this facility, neither in the Dragon Flame Empire nor here.
Because he was a Demon Warrior, a special hidden profession, not an ordinary profession, he couldn't find a mentor in the Profession Hall.
Previously, when he found Hademan, besides establishing the Blessed Nursery, he also had him write a letter of recommendation for him.
Entering the Profession Hall, under Li Xiang's guidance, they found the Mage profession mentor - Lafaty.
After Li Xiang submitted Hademan's handwritten letter of recommendation, Lafaty took Anthony into a separate room.
Before long, Li Xiang heard an explosion.
Then, the door opened. The hem of Lafaty's ornate Mage robe had burn marks, her exquisite hairstyle was a bit messy, but her eyes were unusually bright.
"From now on, you are my disciple! I look forward to the day you destroy all evil with flames!"
"Thank you, Mentor Sister~"
Li Xiang stepped forward, took out a small pouch, and handed it to Lafaty, "Mentor, please take good care of my younger sister from now on."
Lafaty pushed the pouch back and said righteously, "Anthony's talent is the best I've ever seen. Even if you didn't say anything, I would still teach her with all my effort."
"Please take it anyway."
Lafaty couldn't refuse Li Xiang and accepted the small pouch, placing it aside casually.
"Then we will take our leave. I will have my younger sister come here regularly to study."
"Alright, alright! As her older sister, you must also urge Anthony to practice magic at home."
"Mhm mhm, I will."
"Mentor Sister, I'm leaving~"
...
After watching Li Xiang and Anthony leave, Lafaty used communication magic to boast to a friend. After boasting, she picked up the small pouch and weighed it, "There should be about a hundred gold coins. The little girl wasn't dressed well, but her older sister is quite generous."
"Hmm... this weight doesn't feel like gold coins... surely it's not mixed with silver coins?"
Opening the pouch, Lafaty's breathing quickened.
Inside, it was all crystal coins!!!
