You are all my wings!

Moreover, the abundant and flowing magical elements within the dungeon may also be a contributing factor.

A slight increase in strength might not be immediately noticeable, but after accumulating it several times, the effect should be quite significant. At least for now, he feels less muscle fatigue after high-speed activity.

Name: Iris C. Foullen

Lyon glanced at Iris's stats; her magic power had increased by 1 point, but nothing else had changed.

This time, I only looked at the numbers, and the improvement actually surpassed that of Iris.

However, magical power is more valuable than other attributes, and from this point of view, Iris's talent is truly outstanding.

Just by being held and casting spells a few times, her magic power limit was exceeded.

However, before entering the 25th floor, Iris frequently cast spells, but her magical power did not increase. Leon guessed that it was mostly due to that intermediate spell.

The depth of training gained from casting a long incantation during a real battle is likely to be different from that gained from casting a regular spell.

In response, Lyon also considered mastering true intermediate magic as soon as possible, hoping to use it to accelerate the increase of his magic power limit.

Leon begins to dismantle the White Unicorn.

tear up.

He slowly cut off the white unicorn's pelt and placed it on a white gauze spread out to the side.

The bloody, peeling skin was nothing out of the ordinary for Iris and Leon.

Although this skin is weak in both physical and magical resistance, it is quite resistant to water-related magical resistance and also has the effect of repelling water.

Although the battle, especially the wounds left by the 20 Light-Breaking Cones, resulted in a relatively high damage rate.

With some repairs, it should be able to be made into a Tier 2 naval combat leather armor, which could fetch a price of one or two hundred gold coins.

Of course, due to the high rate of damage, the raw materials would probably only fetch forty or fifty gold coins.

Although it is of a higher rank, the value of its fur is still not as high as that of the Minotaur, which has full magic resistance.

Fortunately, the white unicorn had other good things on it.

Those are the four hooves of a white unicorn.

Its waterproof function is exceptional, imbued with magic, and it also has the special effects of walking on water and accelerating running.

These items can be used to make the soles of water combat boots. The materials are intact and the effects are special. Four of them together are estimated to sell for seventy or eighty gold coins, which is comparable in value to the damaged skin of a second-tier Minotaur.

Secondly, the little blood remaining in its body can be used as an alchemical material.

Since Leon had extracted a large amount of its magical blood, the remaining value wasn't high. Leon planned to keep it for himself, which would be a good preparation for his future career as the fourth profession, alchemist.

Of course, the most valuable part of the white unicorn is its ice-reduced unicorn horn.

This thing is priceless.

If it's the horn of a regular Tier 3 white unicorn, the raw material can sell for no less than 300 gold coins.

This white unicorn is also exceptionally gifted, possessing the magic crown's pelt, which would at least double, no, even triple in value.

If one's mastery surpasses mere superficial knowledge, the value will undoubtedly be even higher, more than ten times greater.

Even though they didn't find the 25th floor elemental ring, Leon still made a huge profit by teaming up with Iris this time.

The benefits compared to the last time I explored with Bisji are worlds apart.

Of course, he planned to keep some materials for his own use, and the priority for spending his first pot of gold was to upgrade his entire set of equipment, going from basic weaponry to advanced technology.

The financial situation is unlikely to improve immediately.

To accelerate future upgrades, continued investment in various aspects is necessary, since those characters with S-rank or higher potential won't wait for him to level up.

"Iris, as usual, it's time for your Light Illumination Magic."

"The dismantling process went so quickly this time?"

"After all, the meat is looser than that of the Minotaur and has a slightly higher fat content, so the barbecue flavor will probably be amazing. I've decided to save this most delicious part of the rump for you as a reward for your amazing move."

Upon hearing this, Iris couldn't help but swallow, her tongue trembling, her cheeks flushing. This guy was actually quite good at bribing her.

[Character Iris's affection level +2%, current affection level 70%]

I won't let my guard down completely just because of a little bit of fragrant grilled meat!

Absolutely not!

A moment later, she happily picked up the roast meat that Lyon handed her.

Chapter Thirty-One: How Right Was the Decision Back Then?

Although the white unicorn looks almost exactly like a horse, except for its single horn.

But in terms of taste, it is truly exceptional.

Even if the blood is drained properly, horse meat will still have a strong, gamey smell.

Moreover, horse meat is rather tough, drier than beef, and requires certain cooking techniques to bring out its core flavor.

But this white unicorn, due to its abundant magical meridians and moderate amount of fat, is actually a top-quality barbecue ingredient.

In the Water Relics, on the outer side, Leon picked up some grass and wood that had been soaked by the waterfall's moisture, dried them with micro-magic, and lit them, thus solving the most basic problem of a fire source for the barbecue.

Just like last time, the ribs were pierced through large pieces of meat that had been cleansed with a miniature purification magic, sprinkled with some salt that had been brought over before, and the two large pieces of rump and belly meat sizzled under the flames, emitting a faint aroma of charred meat.

These two cuts of meat are the best roasted cuts selected by Lyon based on years of experience in butchering.

The remaining large portion was used by Iris to compress the Light of Light magic and combine it with Leon's miniature combination magic to quickly dry it, saving it for future use as reserves.

During this cooking event, each of the two consumed 1 point of magic power.

Perhaps it was because the white unicorn's aura was too strong, but while the two were having a pleasant barbecue and picnic, no other monsters came to disturb them.

Based on Leon's past life experience, most of the monsters around were probably frightened by the white unicorn's Flood attack.

That terrifying commotion would probably scare away a whole bunch of water-based monsters.

Even among powerful third-tier monsters, only a handful can unleash intermediate-level magic.

Moreover, the main monsters on the 25th floor are powerful Tier 2 monsters, with a few ordinary Tier 3 monsters.

As a powerful Tier 3 creature and a famous white unicorn in mythology, it is undoubtedly at the top of this monster food chain.

"Is it done grilling, Lyon?" This was the second round of grilling, and Iris still wanted more.

"Don't rush, bake the crust until it's crispier, it will taste even better that way."

"Do you often roast monsters to eat? Your technique is really skilled." Iris couldn't help but admire Leon.

"Not bad, it's basic stuff for country folk."

“Your countryside is truly full of talented people.”

"Oh? Can I take that as a subtle compliment?"

"If you insist on interpreting it that way, then interpret it that way."

"So you don't mean to praise me? What a pity, I was thinking that if you praised me, I would be happy and give you more barbecue."

"So verbose!"

Iris snorted and turned her face away.

She found it strange that her face would get so hot after talking to Leon for a few minutes. Could it be that his words last night had given her some strange thoughts?

Damn it, I still haven't figured out whether you lied to me about the bet!

Although Iris thought so, as the two became more familiar with each other, she had to admit that Leon was indeed a very good teammate. With him, she could explore, earn money, train, and even become stronger in the dungeon with more peace of mind.

Suddenly, a large string of fragrant meat skewers was handed to me from behind.

"Eat it quickly, while it's fresh, it will be most effective."

Iris turned around and found that Leon had already started gnawing on another skewer in his hand.

"You're too cunning; you actually ate it before I was paying attention."

"What does it matter? Who told you to turn around suddenly?"

Iris quickly took the skewer, abandoning all elegance and reserve, opened her pink lips, and took a big bite.

boom!!!!

The crispy skin, the juicy meat, the elastic tendons, and the multi-layered, magical texture create an explosion of flavors on your taste buds in an instant.

Even without any extra seasonings, the meat itself is incredibly delicious.

At this moment, Iris felt a sense of bliss, as if she were surrounded by happiness.

"Delicious! So fragrant!"

She puffed out her cheeks and chewed quickly like a little squirrel, forgetting her earlier struggles in that moment.

Lyon ate while admiring Iris's eating manner. He had to admit that she was indeed a pure-blooded elf with the highest level of beauty. Even though she was wolfing down her food, it was still a pleasure to watch.

[Character Iris's affection level +2%, current affection level 72%]

Did my favorability rating increase just from eating some delicious barbecue? Or was it due to other prior factors that suddenly became apparent with the food?

Leon chuckled. He had thought that once the favorability rating reached 70%, it would become increasingly difficult to increase it further.

It's important to know that this level of favorability was the ceiling for many players in the previous life, and it was even for B-rank characters.

A-level is unprecedented.

Is it because I benefited from the modeling advantage?

Or is it the culmination of previous shared adventures?

Leon shook his head and didn't think about it anymore.

For now, the priority is to focus on restoring magic power.

As a powerful third-tier monster, its total magic power is much higher than that of the Minotaur, and its skills are mainly focused on magic. Logically, it should be quite helpful in mana recovery.

Sure enough, after eating the sixth piece of meat, Leon found that his magic recovery speed had almost doubled.

Originally, even with the core skill of high-speed mana recovery, it would only restore 10 points per hour.

It's estimated that it can recover to 17 or 18 points now!

Although the overall efficiency of magic recovery is not as good as that of red-skinned spider eggs, the amount is hundreds of times greater!

After all, a red-skinned spider lays only a few dozen eggs at a time, with a total weight of only a few kilograms.

Even after removing some inedible parts, this 3.5-meter-tall white unicorn still yields several hundred kilograms of pure meat that can be eaten after cooking.

And Iris clearly noticed this as well:

"My magic is replenishing so quickly! It's true that the more fresh food you eat, the better the effect!"

The two ate voraciously, devouring everything in a flash.

About an hour later, with the magic restored from eating Minotaur jerky while butchering the cow, Leon's magic was fully restored.

Incidentally, if we're looking at stamina recovery efficiency, the Minotaur meat is still superior.

Combining the two types of jerky should allow for a rapid recovery of both magic power and stamina.

Moreover, even after his magic power recovered, he didn't stop.

Because he remembered how eating more red spider eggs had increased his agility, he decided to give it a try. So even when his magic power was fully restored, he didn't stop and kept stuffing meat into his mouth.

Let go and eat!

The panel message updated immediately after all the portions he had baked had been eaten.

[Consuming magic-rich foods multiple times increases your maximum magic power by 1]

【主要属性：生命力30/魔力量28/体力31/力量32/敏捷41】

Upon noticing this message, Leon couldn't help but laugh.

Cool!

This further accelerated the accumulation of attributes.
