71 -70: Identifying Animals
Mu Ying helplessly caught the book Grandpa Shom threw at her.
“Sigh, he really is a research fanatic!”
She opened the book, Biological Recognition?
An upgraded version of Identify Plants?
“!”
Grandpa Shom certainly knew about the things she and Wuyaya were up to, which is why he gave it to her.
Mu Ying felt her face burning with embarrassment.
But this Spell was really impressive.
This Spell was developed by Grandpa Shom based on his Detect Plants study, later combined with his inspiration from Detect Animals, blending his own biological knowledge and a bit of the Prophesy Spell.
Although it was still a level 1 Spell, the difficulty of learning it had increased, requiring mastery of Identify Plants first.
It could recognize types and characteristics of biological entities, not just plants and animals, but also Monsters from the Monster Atlas and other world creatures known by Grandpa Shom; even completely different new species, partly recognisable.
For example, the Ghost Fire they encountered before was an evil Undead Creature, immune to physical attacks and fire-based attacks, capable of invisibility and changing color, and liked to lure living creatures into dangerous places at night to draw out the pain of these creatures before they died.
So, their previous worries were justified, that Ghost Fire really did have bad intentions.
“This is really a super useful Spell!”
Mu Ying thought she should prioritize learning this Spell.
She got up and started adjusting the natural power in the plants of the garden.
Busy all morning, she went back to the camp at noon and then to the weapon store to buy a short sword and a long sword, planning to practice close combat, which was exactly what she needed to improve her ability in close-range attacks.
[Fine Iron Short Sword]
[Quality: Plain White]
[Effect: Sharpness +15]
[Fine Iron Long Sword]
[Quality: Plain White]
[Effect: Sharpness +10]
The swords felt different in her hands compared to the Spear, easily performing a flourishing move, very handy.
It’s a shame that the swordsmanship moves focusing on speed and agility are not suitable for heavy swords; otherwise, getting a big wooden sword would allow integration with the Oak Stick Technique.
With her current swordsmanship skills, sacrificing the sharpness of metal swords for the brute force approach with wooden swords was simply counterproductive.
So, she still couldn’t give up on the Pierce Spear.
The Spear had a greater range of attack.
In the future, she would use Arrow Technique and Spells for long distances, the Spear for mid-range, and swordsmanship for close-range attacks.
The improvement from the Arrow Skill Specialization was enormous.
Mu Ying tested shooting an arrow and found her aiming speed, bow-pulling strength, and shooting posture all refined somewhat by her newly acquired skill knowledge.
The result was both increased range and killing power; no doubt, with more practice and full absorption of the knowledge, there would be even greater progress.
At that time, her Arrow Technique would indeed become a combat method comparable to her Spells.
“Who is that?
She looks familiar, my gosh, Mu Ying!”
“So beautiful!
Her eyes look amazing!”
“Wipe your drool, she hasn’t even graduated high school yet, not sure if she’s 18, start with three years!”
“Cut it out, the pre-apocalypse standards don’t apply anymore.”
“Then look at the swords and bow in her hand.
Maybe you’d like to be whipped by thorns like Old Mao and the others, and then I’ll definitely be there to pour salt water on you.”
“I say you guys are too superficial.
She’s not just prettier, she’s gotten stronger, too!
I adore such a beauty with high combat power!”
“Is there really no one who will ask how she changed overnight?”
“Do you want to be skewered with candied haws?
Do you want to be whipped?
Do you want…”
“Alright, alright, stop it, I don’t want to, I’m not into self-torture!”
“Then why are you still asking, why should she tell you?
I advise you to just behave yourself!”
The discussions in the territory were heated, so much so that they even extended to the online forums.
A post titled “That woman from Qingshan Village” gradually surfaced and made it to the tail end of the hot list.
Mu Ying, who was browsing forum posts, saw the words Qingshan Village, and clicked with interest.
Moments later, her expression darkened.
Rank one, woman, great, it was about her!
Despite her kindness in lowering the entry fee to half that of other camps and selflessly leading everyone in the communal area to grow vegetables during the food crisis, why do they only remember her slaughtering left and right?
God, a master of skewering!
Mu Ying couldn’t help but want to curse!
Looking up at others whispering on different seats, stealing glances at her now and then but not daring to make eye contact, what was unclear?
She couldn’t help but doubt, were all those people who thanked her for her help, who greeted her with smiles, looking friendly and kind, fake?
Or maybe they were too scared not to greet her friendly?
Hmph, she wasn’t that violent.
“Stop posting, stop posting, the post made the hot list, be careful not to expose us!”
“You guys are really something, Boss Mu is so gentle, and you still give her such an ugly nickname!
If it weren’t on the hot list, I wouldn’t have known!
Old Mao, tell me, was it you?
Want to get whipped again?
Wasn’t last time’s saltwater memorable enough?”
“No, it wasn’t me, I’ve been good for a while now, thanks Boss Mu for waking us up!
I said many good things, but they didn’t listen, you can’t blame me!”
“Eh?
Who are they talking about?
Such a fierce woman?
Really the top rank girl?”
“What are you talking about?
Boss Mu is a super beauty, like an elf, do you know what an elf is?
If not, spend a copper coin at the Mercenary Guild, accept a mission, and have a good look, even prettier than that!”
…
Mu Ying, looking at the continuously emerging comments, felt a bit better.
She knew it, there were still people with normal vision.
The whole territory called her Boss Mu, only Liu Luoluo did that, thanks to her righteous speech, let’s invite her over for dinner tonight!
As evening arrived, Mu Ying specially picked vegetables from the garden, bought some meat, and cooked herself.
Liu Luoluo arrived as promised, and didn’t bring anyone else.
“Boss Mu, what did you use to dye your hair?
The color looks so natural!” Liu Luoluo said enviously, she had been too happy being invited today to notice closely; before from a distance, she only thought Mu Ying was paler and had beautiful hair, she hadn’t noticed her eyes.
“…” So the forum posts saying she looked like an elf were completely guessing?
Mu Ying shook her head, “No, I didn’t dye it, don’t ask me how it happened, I can’t say, and I don’t know how to reproduce this change, just think I had an accidental makeover!”
“Uh…

the eyes!
The ears!
I get it, I won’t ask!”
Liu Luoluo covered her mouth, her eyes wide as she looked at her, screaming internally, she really looks like an elf!
Despite her curiosity, she knew better than to ask more; now she understood why when they first met, Boss Mu brutally refused her request to become roommates.
Her request was too presumptuous, a bit like taking advantage, and probably also because, well, the distance wasn’t suitable.
Boss Mu seemed so mysterious, but everyone has their secrets.
To be friends, one must respect others; at least she had made it to Boss Mu’s house as a guest, which was quite impressive already!
She suppressed her curiosity, comforting herself.
