I am the Enchantress!

Does Chapter 168 count as an adventurer?

Wilder fell into deep thought.

Could it be that...?

Is my system an upgraded version of Talia's?

However, after raising this question, an even more difficult problem will obviously arise.

Why would there be a system?

Wilder had never considered this before.

The fact that he traveled from a previous time to this world of swords and magic is itself an incomprehensible thing.

Therefore, obtaining the system and cheat codes seems natural, and even somewhat reasonable.

However, it seems that Talia now possesses a similar system, and she obtained it before Wilder even traveled to this world.

Most importantly, Talia is not a time traveler.

She herself is the dragon of this world!

Why did she also obtain the system?

What is the distribution logic for this thing?

So, besides him and Talia, are there any other people in this world who possess cheat abilities?

And the version they obtained —

Could it be one or several levels higher than Wilder's?

As a mage with an intelligence level of 17, Wilder's mind works extremely fast.

As soon as a hole is opened in his mind, a large number of related questions will surge out like a geyser, instantly filling his brain.

"Wild?"

"Talia asked softly."

Seeing that he didn't react for a while, she waved her fair hand in front of his eyes.

"Um?"

Wilde snapped out of his daze.

"Are you alright?" Talia asked.

"Oh, I'm fine."

He responded, giving a reassuring and charming smile.

Now is not the time to think about those questions. This world is exceptionally vast, and even if there are other system owners, he may never meet them in his lifetime.

Let's learn more about Talia.

Then he asked, "Talia, you just said—before the [Linguist] appeared, you hunted several monsters in another woodland, right?"

"Yes."

Talia nodded. "Because I don't understand why that line of text appeared, and I'm not sure if it will stay there forever, I stare at it every now and then."

"After learning the [Linguist] skill, you came to Ironweave Town?" Wilder asked.

"No, although I wasn't far from Ironweave Town at that time, I was still some distance away, which at least ensured that I wouldn't be discovered by the adventurers in the town."

Talia continued, "I cast the [Human Transformation] spell on the outskirts of that woodland and walked out of the forest. After that, I went to a nearby village with only a dozen or so households, and there I mastered the Common Language through the [Linguist]."

"And then we came to Ironweave Town?"

"Hmm." She nodded. "There aren't any suitable jobs in the village. I heard that there's an Adventurers' Guild in Ironweave Town where you can earn money by doing quests. Since I've hunted monsters before, I thought I'd give it a try."

"And then you ran into me at the Zhulingbaozhai?"

"Hmm—I was very hungry at the time, so I took the gems I had obtained from hunting monsters and planned to exchange them for some money before going to the guild to do missions to earn more."

"They all match up."

Wilder nodded, then asked, "So, from learning the [Human Transformation Technique] to learning the [Linguist] skill—"

"Approximately how many monsters have you hunted?"

Although Talia's system doesn't display an experience progress bar, if she unlocked this feat after hunting monsters, then his system mechanism is likely the same as his.

They all gain experience through hunting, which unlocks new specializations.

However, her experience progress was not displayed and could not be accurately quantified.

"I don't remember — there must have been a lot."

Talia rested her chin on her pale index finger, looked up at the ceiling, and recalled: "More than three years have passed since then. My diet mainly consisted of wild fruits and monster meat, but not every monster was good."

"I eat them, and I usually choose to hunt those that look ferocious; I can't bring myself to kill the good-looking ones."

When it came to food, her expression became much more lively, and she got more and more excited as she talked.

"Well----"

Wilder interrupted her, "Just tell me, on average, how many monsters do you hunt each day?"

"One every three days."

She replied, "Monster meat isn't very tasty, so I usually eat it with wild fruit. Each meal can last for many days, and not every forest has monsters, so half the time I only have wild fruit to eat."

"That works out to about one per week," Wilder said.

"Yes, it should be."

Talia counted on her fingers, but as a linguist, she wasn't a mathematician, and she didn't seem to understand.

"Do the monsters you hunt use magic?"

"No, they usually just bite," she said. "Most of the monsters I've encountered before weren't as powerful as those in the border forests."

"Well----"

Wilder's lips twitched.

This girl goes to the border forest to hunt Soul-Burning Hounds or hunt Fire Toads, which are all high-level monsters of the difficult level or above. How could she not be powerful?

However, judging from her description, the creatures she hunted before were all small, easy-to-hunt monsters.

According to his system, each one can provide a maximum of 10 experience points.

Three years is equivalent to 150 weeks. If one animal is hunted each week, that's a total of 150 animals.

That's 1,500 experience points?

In other words, Talia spent a total of 1,500 experience points to learn the [Human Transformation] skill and the [Linguist] skill.

This number is significantly higher than Wilder's.

I think it only took him 100 experience points to level up from Lv1 to Lv2.

However, the number of points required for each subsequent upgrade began to increase exponentially.

If Talia's upgrade system follows the same logic, then she will need 3,000 experience points to unlock the next feat.

"So—how many monsters have you hunted since you learned the [Linguist] skill?" Wilder continued.

"Rarely, because human food is delicious, and I have never eaten monster meat again."

At this point, Talia touched her flat stomach, looking a little hungry again.

"How much is 'very little'? Do you remember?" Wilder pressed.

"Let me think about it—"

Talia rested her cheek on her hand and slowly said, "Three Soul-Burning Hounds, ten Fire Toads, more than twenty Gnolls, and two giants whose names I don't know—"

"what?"

Wilder had assumed that Talia hadn't hunted many, but he was surprised to find out there were so many.

And judging from the name—

Both are very dangerous.

Many of them are high-level monsters and possess the ability to cast spells.

"Hmm...is that all?"

"Do adventurers count?"

Talia looked up at Wilder, her clear crimson eyes blinking, her face showing the innocence and naivety of a young girl: "If you count, I've also killed six adventurers."
