The Witcher: Grinding Proficiency Starting with the Witcher

Li Wei stood still, his gaze fixed on the message: "[Ghoul Mutant Acquisition 250%, Can be Synthesized]", without the slightest hesitation.

"synthesis."

He sheathed his silver sword and muttered to himself.

In an instant, the text on the control panel changed, and the 250% number rapidly transformed, replaced by an icon that emitted a dark yellow glow and was formed from countless twisted flesh and blood.

[Ghoul Mutant Synthesized. After installing the mutant, it restores 5% of life essence and increases strength by 5%. Yellow Trait: Special Feeding]

[Special Effect Food (Yellow): Your digestive system is significantly enhanced. By consuming flesh and blood, you can restore an additional 10% of your health and stamina. This effect also applies to alchemy potions; consuming a potion will grant an additional 10% recovery.]

Without the slightest hesitation, Li Wei installed the ghoul mutant in the mutant category.

[The Origin of Life: 30%-35%]

Strength: 2.3 - 2.42

A cold and violent aura surged from his heart to his limbs and bones, as if a hungry beast had awakened within him.

He could even feel his stomach twitching slightly, and a strong craving for flesh and blood welled up within him.

This is a hunger that originates from instinct, and is completely different from simply being hungry.

Li Wei took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed the primal urge originating from the mutant.

Clenching his fists, the muscles in his arms became even more resilient, and the boost from his life force made him feel completely comfortable.

He moved the ghoul's corpse to the cow's side, gathered some firewood and piled it up, then took out an oil bottle and poured oil on the corpse.

He raised his right hand and snapped his fingers at the pile of corpses.

A fiery red hand seal flashed across the front of his fingers.

[Flame Sign] activated.

"Bang!"

The fuel on the corpse ignited, and the flames quickly engulfed everything, emitting thick black smoke.

Li Wei stayed by the side until the body was burned to a crisp before turning away.

If you leave the corpse unattended, it will definitely attract other ghouls, and you'll just be wasting your time.

After cleaning up the mess on the ranch, Li Wei retraced his steps and arrived at a village made up of halflings.

The village is small, with dozens of domed wooden houses scattered on the hillside in a pleasing manner. The small bells hanging from the rooftops make a crisp sound in the wind, creating a peaceful and serene atmosphere.

Ringing Bell Hill.

As soon as he entered the village, a short, chubby figure greeted him warmly.

He was dressed in green cloth, with a thick brown beard that almost reached his navel, but his head was completely bald, making him look somewhat comical.

It is the village chief, Popo Havrin.

"Oh! Brave Witcher!"

Village Chief Bobo, his face beaming with smiles, bowed slightly. "Judging from your expression, those damned ghouls have been dealt with thoroughly?"

Li Wei answered succinctly, "Yes, there are seven in total. Nothing will bother your livestock anymore."

"That's wonderful! Thank you so much!"

Village Chief Bobo was very excited. He counted out ten brand-new silver coins from the money bag at his waist and handed them over readily.

"This is the payment we agreed upon. It's not much, but please accept it. It's a small token of our village's appreciation!"

Li Wei accepted the silver coin and nodded with a smile at the halfling's straightforwardness, "It's my duty."

Bobo turned around and said, "You must be exhausted after all this work. Come inside, your companions are waiting for you. I'll go check on the ranch and then prepare dinner for you."

"it is good."

After saying that, the enthusiastic village chief quickly jogged towards the pasture.

"Oh, by the plague, those damned beasts have finally gotten their revenge. Praise be to the Witcher. I need to go check on my cows; hopefully, not too many have died."

Li Wei shook his head helplessly as he listened.

As I pushed open the door to the village chief's house, a strong smell of rotting wood hit me.

Aite and Mavis were sitting around a low table with a yellowed map spread out on it.

The two months of life on the run left obvious marks on them.

Mavis's face bore a lingering trace of fatigue.

Aite's change was even more dramatic; he had lost a lot of weight, his cheeks were slightly sunken, and his gray cat-like eyes looked even more gloomy.

"In the past two months, we have been attacked by the Crimson Rose twice."

Without looking up, Aite spoke in a hoarse voice, as if recounting a trivial matter, "Once at a crossroads, once by a valley, we narrowly escaped both."

Mavis knew how dangerous that luck was.

"Where do we go next?" she asked.

Aite did not answer immediately, but pointed heavily to the north end of the map.

It was the outline of a huge city drawn with thick black lines.

"here."

"The second largest city in the Kingdom of Flak is located to the north of the pass that defends against the orcs, the Steel City of Amberton, which is less than ten miles away..."

As soon as he finished speaking, he subconsciously raised his hand to rub his left arm, but the arm that had been scratched by the werewolf Taylor trembled slightly and fell limply to the side.

The intense throbbing pain turned his face pale, and fine beads of cold sweat appeared on his forehead.

My left arm, which should have been resting, has deteriorated severely after a series of setbacks.

"We need to find a place to settle down, a place with heavy security and a large population, the best place to hide from our pursuers."

"No matter how rampant the Crimson Rose is, it wouldn't dare to act recklessly in such a place."

Mavis looked up and agreed with Aite's suggestion.

Her gaze fell on Li Wei, who had just entered the room. Her emerald green pupils contracted slightly, and a hint of surprise flashed across her face.

"Li Wei, your aura..."

She keenly sensed that Li Wei's life force was even more vigorous.

"The hound's gait has improved slightly."

Li Wei spoke first, calmly nodding without offering further explanation.

Upon hearing this, Aite, who had been keeping his head down, slowly raised his eyes, his gray cat eyes fixed on Li Wei.

His eyes held a complex expression, a hint of relief mixed with an indescribable melancholy.

"Becoming stronger is a good thing."

Mavis looked at Ett, who was enduring the pain, and her eyes were full of worry. She continued.

"I also agree to go to Amberton. I know a doctor in the city who is very skilled. Maybe...maybe he can do something for Ete's arm."

She paused, then added in a heavy tone, "His injury can't be delayed any longer. If this continues, his arm might really be ruined."

Silence fell in the room once again.

Aite is a vital member of the team, and we cannot afford to lose him.

Levi's gaze swept over Ete's pale face, worry appearing in his eyes, before finally settling on the city called Amberton.

There, there are stricter guards and more professional doctors.

"it is good."
