I am a wizard! Not a warrior!

Chapter 9 Detoxification Technique

"Are there any more missions?"

"I'd like to take a look and pick a task."

Zhang Changsheng asked with a smile,

"Of course, here you go, Brother Changsheng."

Leia handed the task list to Zhang Changsheng.

Zhang Changsheng took the task list and looked at it, and found that most of the monster tasks without rank were goblin ghouls and kobolds.

Goblins and kobolds have a high reproductive rate, so it's normal to have many quests.

However, it's strange that ghouls have so many quests, since ghouls are formed from corpses, which is rare under normal circumstances.

"There are way too many ghouls these days. Forget it, I'd better not touch them and choose other monsters instead."

After thinking for a moment, Zhang Changsheng took out a task sheet and handed it to Leia, saying, "Leia, please write this down for me. I'm accepting this task."

"Okay, Brother Changsheng."

Leia took the task and began to read it.

Tier 0 Quest: Eliminate Slimes

Quest Description: There are a large number of slimes in Blackwater Village, ranging from 60 to 80.

Task Reward: 80 points + 80 gold coins

Time limit: Complete within three days. If the task fails, 80 points will be deducted.

"A slime?"

Leia was a little surprised; she hadn't expected Zhang Changsheng to take on this mission.

However, the thought that Zhang Changsheng was a wizard made him feel relieved.

Other adventurers dislike clearing out slimes because slimes are corrosive and can damage weapons and armor.

Furthermore, slimes are difficult to kill with physical attacks, making them a nightmare for melee classes.

"By the way, do you have a complete monster encyclopedia here?"

After receiving the new mission map, Zhang Changsheng asked,

Using the ghoul encyclopedia, he realized something was wrong with the mission.

Therefore, he felt that knowing about the monster in advance was still very useful.

You can't rely solely on the encyclopedia entries on the quest list, because anything can happen in the wild. If an unfamiliar monster suddenly appears, you'll be in trouble.

"Yes, yes, one silver coin." Leia took out a thick leather book from behind her and said, "It's just that most adventurers don't like reading, so this kind of book hasn't been bought for a long time. That's why, well, I've gotten used to it. Otherwise, I should have been trying to sell it to you."

Leia smiled a little shyly as she said this.

"Why don't adventurers like to read about these monsters? They're living on the edge, why don't they know anything about them?"

Zhang Changsheng found it very strange.

"Because most adventurers only hunt a few types of monsters, such as goblins and kobolds, and won't fight monsters they've never fought before."

"After all, most adventurers are not professionals, but just warriors who are slightly stronger than ordinary people."

"In their view, the monsters in the book are ones they will never see in their lifetime, nor will they be a match for them, so whether they read them or not doesn't make much of a difference."

"Many people become adventurers just to supplement their family income. Very few adventurers can become professionals. Out of 100, there might be only one or two at most."

Leia explained,

"I see, I understand now."

Zhang Changsheng nodded slightly, then accepted the Monster Encyclopedia and left behind a silver coin.

"Leia, thank you. I'll treat you to a meal sometime."

After thanking him, Zhang Changsheng got up and left.

"Okay, goodbye, Brother Changsheng."

Leia waved to Zhang Changsheng's retreating figure with a smile on her face.

Once outside, Zhang Changsheng noticed several adventurers circling around the white dragon, their faces filled with envy.

"This horse seems to be a Tier 1 monster, an Icescale Horse."

"This is an extraordinary mount!"

"I heard that a superb mount costs more than 1000 gold coins."

The adventurers discussed amongst themselves.

"It made me a little embarrassed."

Zhang Changsheng shook his head helplessly and then whistled.

Upon hearing the whistle, Bai Long ran towards Zhang Changsheng, who then mounted his horse and rode outside.

……

Heishui Village got its name from its proximity to the Heishui River, and all the villagers make a living by fishing.

Just as Zhang Changsheng arrived at the village entrance on his white dragon, a middle-aged man dressed in leather armor and carrying a spear, who appeared to be a militiaman, led several young men dressed similarly as militiamen to greet him.

"Hello, sir, what can I do for you?"

After the middle-aged man approached Zhang Changsheng, he asked with a respectful expression.

"I've accepted a mission to eliminate slimes. Do you have any information on them?"

Zhang Changsheng asked the question, taking out several silver coins as he spoke.

"So you're an adventurer. Those slimes are just south of the village, in an orchard."

"Perhaps it was that orchard that attracted those slimes."

The middle-aged man pointed to the woods in the south and said respectfully.

"Besides this, is there any unusual information?"

Perhaps because of the ghoul's unusual behavior, Zhang Changsheng was still somewhat uneasy and asked again.

"Nothing unusual. I went there to check this morning, and those slimes are still eating those fruits and have no intention of leaving."

The middle-aged man shook his head and said,

"Thank you, these silver coins are yours."

After Zhang Changsheng expressed his gratitude, he tossed the silver coin in his hand, which fell into the middle-aged man's hand.

"Thank you, sir. Thank you, sir."

The middle-aged man spoke with a smile.

tread!tread!

Zhang Changsheng rode the white dragon towards the orchard.

As Zhang Changsheng approached the orchard, he discovered a green slime, about a meter wide and resembling jelly, hopping around on the ground, eating the fruit.

"View Information!"

Zhang Changsheng casually opened the slime's information and began to examine it.

Poisonous Slime

Power: 1

Agility: 1

Physical condition: 1

Intelligence: 0.5

Perception: 0.5

Charisma: 0.5

Skill: Poisonous saliva, physical damage reduction.

Warning: Beware of this creature's saliva; it's highly poisonous.

"It's not a Tier 1 monster, just an ordinary monster."

After reading the slime's information, Zhang Changsheng flicked his finger, and a blazing burst of energy shot out – the Rocket Technique.

boom!

The energy blast hit the slime, causing it to explode instantly and shatter into pieces.

At the same time, a series of prompts appeared before Zhang Changsheng's eyes.

You killed the poisonous slime!

[The slaughter and plundering have begun!]

[You have plundered the Tier 1 spell "Exorcism" from the bloodline of a highly poisonous slime.]

[Under the effect of this spell! Your Strength +0.5! Your Constitution +0.5! Your Agility +0.5!]

[Note! Killing a Poisonous Slime again will not grant you spells!]

"An exorcism technique?"

With a thought, Zhang Changsheng began to examine the spell models in his mind.

Soon, Zhang Changsheng figured out the correct way to use the detoxification technique.

A normal detoxification ritual involves casting spells to expel toxins from the body.

Zhang Changsheng's detoxification technique is a passive skill that grants him immunity to all poisons of the zero and first tiers, making him truly invulnerable to all poisons.

Of course, this only applies to level 0 and level 1 immunity to all poisons.
