Outer Gods invade, stuff them all into your equipment inventory.

Sean glanced at the skill and spell list in his attribute panel.

"Impact, Water Spell, Ice Prism, Ice Armor, Bread Spell, Mage's Hand, Light Spell, Leap."

Six spells, two skills.

"Among E-rank heroes, I am definitely among the group with the most spells and skills mastered through learning."

Learning skills or mastering spells both require a significant investment of time and effort.

The vast majority of E-rank heroes focus on developing their own abilities.

Few people would spend the time and effort learning cultivable spell skills.

Even when they do learn, they only learn one or two things in a targeted way to improve their combat effectiveness.

Of course, these spells and abilities are not very powerful.

Light is a zero-circle spell that makes objects glow, used to solve lighting problems in dark environments.

The high jump is merely a power generation technique; it involves using short, rapid leg movements to achieve a jump far exceeding that of ordinary people.

In terms of practicality, they are only average.

But these added abilities presented Sean with a bright future.

"Once I have absorbed all the notes, even though much of the content is repeated."

I am capable of mastering no fewer than twenty or thirty spells and skills.

Even without considering the other buffs provided by the equipment slots, this alone is terrifying.

"Unfortunately... there's no way to continue absorbing memory fragments to gain abilities for the foreseeable future."

At this moment, Sean was walking to the southern gate of the settlement, waiting to leave the city.

Having wasted so many days acquiring the notebook, Sean is now eager to begin his upgrade plan.

He had already equipped the elite Fallen Demon Remains once again, and there were no spare equipment slots available to absorb memory fragments.

The Thirteenth Settlement has four gates: east, west, south, and north. The eastern wilderness outside the eastern gate is the territory of slime monsters.

In most areas of the Southern Wilds and Western Wilds, the most common monster is the Fallen.

Compared to slimes, Fallen Ones undoubtedly produce far more materials.

Their red, hard hides, their demon horns, and their hearts.

These are all very useful monster materials.

In addition, there are the various weapons they use, which can be collected and used as materials for making weapons.

There is also the Fallen camp.

Fallen in the wild often live together in groups, forming Fallen camps to live together.

If you have the ability to wipe out the entire Fallen camp, you might find some mysterious treasure chests within it if you're lucky.

Opening the treasure chest will grant you some extra rewards.

The treasure chests contain a large amount of dimensional coins, and sometimes they may also contain gems or equipment.

Sometimes adventurers will find supplies like dried meat, but most adventurers won't take them.

The Fallen have a varied diet, and the corpses of heroes are also among their favorite spoils.

After killing a hero, they like to take the body back to the camp for further processing.

Who knows what kind of creature those dried meat strips you opened from that treasure chest came from?

Every year, many brave souls fall victim to this disease.

Because of the abundant rewards, high refresh rate, and relatively dense monster population.

The number of adventurers heading to the Southern Wilderness is much greater than that to the Eastern Wilderness.

When Sean arrived, he actually had to wait in line.

Fortunately, it was early, not the peak time for adventurers, so the queue wasn't long.

Soon it was Sean's turn. After registering his basic information, Sean left the city gate alone.

According to the rules of the Heroes' Association, every hero leaving the settlement for the wilderness must fill out a form to record basic information.

The table contains simple information: name, age, gender, hero level, purpose of going to the wilderness area, approximate area of ​​the expected activity, and expected return time.

The main purpose is to enable the Heroes' Association to have a basic understanding of the movements of heroes inside and outside the settlement, which is conducive to the reasonable distribution of mandatory missions.

This is also so that if a hero goes missing in the wilderness, the Hero Association can get the information immediately.

If a hero remains in the wilderness for more than a month beyond the expected return date, the Hero Association will place their file in the category of suspected missing persons.

Sean wrote down his purpose for heading to the wilderness as hunting Fallen, and also registered the general area of ​​his expected activity as the edge of the southern wilderness.

After all, his status in the Hero Association's records is still only that of an E-rank hero, so this description is more in line with his character.

"Registering is one thing, but how I actually do it is another."

Even if he wrote that the general area of ​​his expected activities was the edge of the southern wilderness region, it does not mean that he can only move within this area.

If he fails to return after a long period beyond the registration period, he may be classified as a missing person by the community.

..............................

Compared to the eastern city gate, the southern city gate had more and denser bullet holes in the ground.

There are far more Fallen than Slimes.

Each time a demonic tide occurs, the number of monsters appearing in the southern wilderness far exceeds that in the eastern wilderness.

When Sean walked out of the city gate, he did not pass through alone.

Besides him, a team of five brave warriors also left the settlement at the same time.

They drove past Sean in a car and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"It seems that among the heroes in this team, someone possesses mechanical control abilities."

The abilities of heroes are incredibly diverse, encompassing all sorts of things.

Some of these abilities allow the hero to form deep connections with mechanical creations, and even some construct monsters.

Cars are not suitable for use during off-road training.

Whether it's defending against monster attacks or replenishing energy sources like gasoline, it's a major problem.

Only those who have mastered mechanical control abilities can enhance the car's defenses and use their own extraordinary power to replace gasoline and other energy sources to drive the car for extended periods.

Sean glanced at the taillights of the car ahead and looked on with envy.

This time he needs to travel a long distance, and it would be great if he could have a car to get around.

"What a pity!"

Sean tried putting the car into the equipment slot.

"It can be put in, and the car can be summoned for use at any time."

However, he was unable to enhance the car's defenses like a hero who had mastered mechanical control abilities, or to use his own extraordinary power to replace gasoline to propel the car forward.

"In other words, once the gasoline runs out, the car becomes just a decoration."

Sean pursed his lips.

Although he has storage pockets that allow him to carry a large amount of gasoline.

But the journey is so long, the gasoline will eventually run out.

In addition, the journey was so bumpy that it was hard to guarantee that the car wouldn't break down.

If the car breaks down, he won't be able to fix it.

Therefore, he had to abandon his plan to travel by car.
