This wizard is just unscientific

Chapter 5: There are cheat-like strategies!

Ultimately, Carlos did not consider risking his life on the brink of death.

Just now, when facing the second-tier human-faced stone snake demon, his only role was to run faster than Tucker and not hold Tucker back.

If we turn back, we might encounter dangerous supernatural creatures that are faster.

That would be a really big joke.

"Looks like we're going to go home empty-handed."

Carlos, looking away, said with a hint of helplessness.

"In fact, we didn't leave empty-handed; on the contrary, we reaped a rich reward!"

Tucker's eyes narrowed slightly as he examined the underground passage leading to the Demon King's seal, and he spoke earnestly.

"Yes, we reaped a great harvest!"

Carlos nodded, emphasizing the word "we".

"Furthermore, 'we' also joined forces to kill a second-tier transcendent being."

"I didn't even realize how amazing 'we' were until you told me."

Tucker glanced at the resentful Carlos and exhaled softly.

"If the two of us break the Demon King's seal, and are discovered by those important figures inside the city-state's steam tower..."

"The announcement will inevitably be something like, 'Shameless thieves, you have broken the Demon King's seal and pose a huge threat to the security of the city-state of Lamo Tower.' Then they will issue a warrant for our arrest."

"But what if it was your sister, Count Lamoir's most prized student, 'Miss Hilor', who broke the Demon King's seal?"

"The announcement will become: The valiant steam knight 'Hilor' has unlocked the Demon King's sealed treasure and made a great contribution to the city-state of Lamor Tower."

The double standard of one version and two sets of statements startled Carlos.

"You know what, it's actually possible."

"It's not just a possibility, it's an inevitable outcome."

Tucker said in a calm tone.

"There is still about a week of gray nights left."

"It is highly unlikely that any adventurers will come to this deep underground cave to explore the seal during this period."

"When we get back, find your sister and tell her what happened."

"She naturally knows how to handle it."

As Tucker explained, Carlos's eyes lit up more and more.

This is, after all, the Demon King's treasure.

An existence coveted by countless adventurers.

In a daze, Carlos seemed to see wealth beckoning to him.

Tucker took a deep breath, looked away from Carlos, and rubbed his temples.

This time, Tucker invited Carlos to collaborate.

One reason is that this guy has a supernatural bracelet that can hold "runestones".

On the other hand, Carlos has a very strong background.

Try to break the Demon King's seal, just in case something goes wrong.

At least, Carlos's strong background can offset a large part of the blame.

And the current outcome.

It's better than I imagined.

First, Tucker completed the anchoring of the Demon King's sealed area.

The system played a huge role, and I ushered in the long-awaited transformation.

Secondly, the Demon King's seal has been opened, but not completely.

Reporting to superiors in the name of Carlos's sister would surely bring a reward.

…………

The abandoned stone tower area.

In the serene light of the "Moon of Ashes".

Tucker and Carlos climbed up from the stone tower's underground passage, one after the other.

Just as Tucker had predicted.

He deliberately chose to act during the "dusk period," and the entire process was carried out quietly and without anyone knowing.

Walking through the deserted, narrow stone path, Carlos said, his neck hunched.

"Tucker, I recently heard that a group of people are hunting wizards. As far as I know, several apprentice wizards and first-tier wizards have mysteriously disappeared."

"Yes, I've heard about it too. I'll be careful."

Tucker nodded.

The city-state of Lamor is located on the outskirts of the Ashlands, where the environment is extremely harsh.

There are quite a few mysterious organizations, and even believers in evil gods, lurking here.

Tucker would find it strange if something unexpected didn't happen every now and then.

Upon entering the main road, Carlos bid farewell to Tucker and hurried towards the "Tower District" to report his great haul to his sister.

Tucker, on the other hand, is going back to the "Hive Zone".

On the deserted street, under the cold moonlight, Tucker walked along, rubbing his slightly throbbing temples.

With his S-level precision that allows him to see the essence of things, Tucker connects the entire world's threads and trajectories with himself through sight, feeling, touch, and spiritual perception. He can precisely enter those threads and trajectories at any time.

However, the abundance of insights gained from understanding the world's context and trajectory also placed considerable pressure on Tucker.

At this moment, Tucker was trying to curb his "precision".

As Tucker gained a deeper understanding, the effectiveness of "Precision" gradually diminished.

The patterns and trajectories seen by "precision vision" gradually shrink and fade.

The world within my vision began to return to normal.

However, Tucker still preserved some of the clues and patterns, keeping them within his normal field of vision.

In this way, Tucker's normal vision is not obstructed, while also allowing him to examine the world from the perspective of context and trajectory.

"The S-class extraordinary talent's ability to perceive the world is indeed extraordinary."

"It allowed me to see many of the differences among extraordinary individuals, even their secrets."

"Therefore, managing facial expressions, movements, and reactions is very important."

"I must not let those highly perceptive superhumans know that I have seen their secrets."

"The patterns and trajectories allow me to easily discern the enemy's intentions, actions, and even their spells, thus enabling me to make predictions."

"Precision itself allows me to align with all the patterns and trajectories to deliver a perfect strike."

With that thought in mind, Tucker let out a soft breath.

"The changes brought about by S-level [precision] are too great."

"It completely overturned my previous fighting style."

"It will take a lot of time and effort to try to reconstruct a completely new combat style with 'precision' as the core."

"Since you've activated the lock-on cheat and a partial wallhack."

"Then, if you're going to cheat, you need to have the right playing style!"

"As long as the method is correct and combined with S-level talent, even a novice wizard can possess extremely powerful strength."

"What's more, I'm about to become a first-tier wizard."

Tucker's mind flashed back to the second-tier core material, "Stone Serpent Ghost Crystal," that he had obtained during his desperate sprint.

As a second-order core material, it is extremely valuable.

"I'll go to the underground mall tomorrow. Not only can I exchange for core materials for the advancement of a first-tier wizard, but I can also make a considerable profit."

"A first-tier wizard..."

Tucker's eyes narrowed slightly.

"It's finally here."

Having traveled to this dangerous world, Tucker has two objectives.

The first goal: for the system to truly function.

My second goal: to advance to the first tier of wizards.

In this extraordinary world, level and strength are the most real things.

If Tucker were a "fourth-tier wizard" today.

Then Tucker could make that second-tier human-faced stone snake demon, which had been chasing him for several streets, obediently coil up in front of him and listen to him tell the story of "Xu Xian and Bai Niangzi".

Currently, the system has begun to function reliably.

And the advancement to first-tier wizard is about to begin.

By the time Tucker came to his senses...

Under the desolate night sky, the "Griffin Cave Tavern," with its yellow light seeping through the glass, was already close at hand.

Tucker rubbed his slightly cold hands together and pushed the door open.

The crypt tavern was much livelier now than when Tucker left.

The extra dozen or so adventurers, in small groups, boasted about everything under the influence of alcohol.

"A bowl of blackhorn beef bread soup."

At the bar, Tucker spoke to the bartender.

While waiting, Tucker tries to make sense of the surroundings.

The world began to become wondrous.

Ordinary adventurers, their levels, ranks, and even life states are all accurately discerned through Tucker's network capture.

"Those three adventurers over there have a solid and heavy aura, and their levels are all around 18 or 19. They're tough opponents."

"The adventurers over there warming themselves by the fire... well, they seem a bit exhausted and listless."

"During the Gray Night, many adventurers with nothing to do tend to indulge themselves."

"And then... that's it..."

Tucker held his breath slightly, his eyes gradually becoming serious and focused.

Tucker and Carlos were discussing things here before.

In the shadows of a corner near the window and fireplace, the superhuman remained hidden, seemingly listening intently to their conversation.

But he was just eavesdropping and didn't take any action, so Tucker only glanced at it a few more times.

This time, from the moment I pushed open the door to the moment I sat down at the bar, it was a completely different experience.

The hidden extraordinary being's insightful clues had always been focused on him.

This made Tucker wary.

"An enemy? That shouldn't be the case!"

"If I have a grudge, I usually settle it on the spot and don't give them a chance to retaliate against me."

"Or perhaps, a long-lost relative, terminally ill, is searching for me, their only remaining family member, to inherit their immense wealth?"

After thinking for a moment, Tucker shook his head; the idea was simply too abstract.

"Since that's the case..."

Tucker recalled the recent disappearances of some wizards.

"Could it be that they've got their eyes on me?"
