Hello, is this a letter addressed to Demon Fortress?

One by one, the replies, each carrying warmth and complex emotions, were solemnly handed back to Lin Gui.

Some people thanked them in hushed tones, while others, with reddened eyes, hesitated to speak.

Lin Gui simply gave a faint "hmm".

He took the letter, skillfully aligned its edges, and neatly placed it on the open messenger bag.

His tone was calm and even: "Each takes what they need."

Beneath him lay the gambling table, which had originally symbolized desire and madness.

At this moment, however, it is filled with letters carrying longing and concern.

It seemed to have been given a completely different, calm and solemn meaning.

"Do you need any help?"

Saint Eve appeared beside him at some point and asked softly.

Her voice sounded particularly ethereal in this environment.

"No need, there aren't many left."

Lin Gui replied without looking up, his hands still moving.

Then, as if remembering something, he glanced at the person next to him with a hint of disdain.

Elvia was taking advantage of the lull to squeeze in among a few gamblers.

He seemed to have gambled a few rounds, and his face still showed a hint of unfinished business.

This guy...

Lin Gui only straightened up after the last reply was withdrawn.

I put my now thicker messenger bag back on my shoulder.

The underground casino "Blood and Dice" is extremely large, with a complex space that can accommodate nearly a thousand people.

It was here that Lin Gui successfully received and retrieved 59 replies, and some others were signed for by acquaintances.

The remaining 130 letters are almost halfway complete.

This is also why Lin Gui chose to come to the rebel headquarters first.

[Ding! Weekly assignments completed.]

The system notification sounded in my mind right on time.

The urgent delivery of the message went much more smoothly than expected.

This was largely thanks to the post office steward's prior preparations.

He meticulously categorized and labeled all the unsigned letters to their recipients.

This greatly saves time in the screening and confirmation of Lin Gui.

Honestly, if it weren't for the long delivery cycle, which can take several weeks for a round trip...

Lin Gui even wanted to poach that steward to work for him.

Although the other party still held an arrogant attitude of looking down on the lower class, their abilities were truly remarkable.

[Host, would you like to draw the reward for this week's weekly mission now?]

Lin Gui glanced at the 71 letters remaining in his backpack and asked himself a question.

"There are still 71 envelopes left to send. If we draw them now, what happens to the remaining rewards?"

The reward will be drawn in the next draw.

The system explained.

Lin Gui nodded, no longer hesitating, and gave the system instructions.

"Draw it."

In an instant, the familiar, cold, mechanical voice flooded his mind like a tidal wave, bringing with it a series of messages:

[Ding! Weekly assignments have been completed!]

"May every longing transcend the darkness and reach the other shore."

The realization of a significant increase in magical proficiency, along with a surge of pure and immense magical power, instantly flooded into his body.

Lin Gui closed his eyes slightly, feeling the obvious increase in his own magical power.

And the sense of control that comes from having several key spells at max level.

In particular, the max level of [Levitation] means that his core flying ability has been ultimately enhanced.

Lin Gui looked at the wine bottle about 10 meters away from him.

He can feel its weight through levitation.

Once the Levitation skill reaches LV10, the control distance is greatly increased.

To his even greater surprise, the system detected the barely perceptible trace of demonic energy within his body.

I do envy Shia's demonic energy, and I have tried to absorb the demonic energy she emits, hoping to extract some from my own body.

But I don't have high expectations.

Magic, energy, and soul power—all living beings in Akara possess some of these within them.

But demonic energy is exclusive to demons and demon races.

The power of faith (also known as divine power) is monopolized by various religious sects.

Unexpectedly, the system directly guided him out and opened up a brand new "magical magic" branch.

Silently, Lin Gui glanced at the obedient Saintess standing behind him, a hint of eagerness flashing in his eyes.

Eve: "?"

Lin Gui smiled, his face kind.

It seems I need to find an opportunity to get closer to the saintess.

Lin Gui focused his attention on the newly added spells.

"Voice Changer", "Enchantment", "Magic Eye".

These new spells, though only rudimentary, are far more practical than the previous bunch of basic survival spells.

He slowly opened his eyes, a glint of light flashing in them before he regained his composure.

Rewards received, time to get back to work.
