Chapter 32

Finally becoming a hero and possessing all the abilities of a hero, Liu Siyi naturally wanted to experience various powers.

First, he naturally stored all the gold coins and resources he had obtained into the storage space. Sensing it, he found that the space was roughly a spherical area with a five-meter diameter, capable of storing any item but absolutely not any living thing. In the laws of this world, even a first-tier puppet unit would be granted basic intelligence, making it a living being.

He immediately stored a few treasures inside, and the mental link still allowed him to use the treasures' abilities, which was much more convenient than holding them in his hands.

Next, Liu Siyi sensed the mental links of his subordinates who had submitted to him. The closest were Lilia and Lina, and the Thunderbird, while the farthest were the Minotaur Bill and the Minotaurs he led. As for the Thunder Eagle, perhaps due to the great distance, he couldn't sense it even as a hero.

Closing his eyes, Liu Siyi tried to open the map. Any place a hero had traveled would automatically form a magical map in his mind. However, just like real-world maps that need to be updated annually, the magical map only recorded the current situation, and over time, it could only serve as a reference. Moreover, the map did not display real-time information.

While pondering the abilities of a hero, Lilia and Lina were not idle.

"Master, this is a unicorn horn. Their life essence is all concentrated in this horn, making it very precious and excellent material for experiments," Lina said, holding a unicorn horn and waving it as she walked over.

"Since it's so precious, we can't waste it," Liu Siyi said, feeling a tickle in his heart as a sweet little girl called him "Master."

"By the way, are you planning to do the experiments yourselves or hand them over to the Witch Lord? If you hand them over, you should be able to get some good things in return, right?" Liu Siyi asked, his gaze falling on the golden treasure chest lying quietly to one side.

"Master, can we really do experiments? You are so kind," Lina said, jumping up happily. Lilia, hearing this, also looked at Liu Siyi with shining eyes.

"Why not? As long as I have the ability, I will support you," Liu Siyi said, finding it a bit strange that they were so excited about doing experiments, but he didn't dwell on it.

Ordinary elite units rarely had the conditions to conduct experiments; those who could were powerful heroes. Experiments could combine theoretical and practical knowledge of various magics, which was very beneficial for magic cultivation.

Although they had a strong desire to experiment, Lilia and Lina could only assist the Witch Lord during her experiments, with no say or autonomy. So, how could they not be excited upon hearing this news? However, Liu Siyi still underestimated their excitement.

With a "pop," Lina, who was already by his side, jumped onto him, hugging him tightly and giving him a forceful kiss.

"Thank you, Master. Lina knew you were the best," Lina said, hugging him without a care, her excitement evident.

Liu Siyi was stunned by the sudden attack. His attention was on the golden treasure chest, and he hadn't expected Lina to do this. Clearly, as the treasure chest's grade increased, the complexity of the magical array patterns on it also increased.

Looking at Lina's innocent and lively smile, pure like a little neighbor girl kissing her uncle or aunt, the sudden urge in Liu Siyi's heart mysteriously disappeared.

She's just an innocent little neighbor girl, Liu Siyi thought, evaluating Lina.

Lilia, on the other hand, was different, knowing much more than Lina.

"Master, the Witch Lord should be willing to exchange two or three second-tier treasures for these thirteen unicorn horns," Lilia said, clearly not taking things at face value. She had her own thoughts and did what she should do.

Previously, in the underground world, Liu Siyi couldn't clearly see the two women's specific appearances, only that they were two Western white women. It wasn't until they came to the surface that he noticed their differences.

Lilia was tall, about 1.75 meters, with a slender face and large, intelligent eyes. Her long golden hair flowed over her shoulders, like a golden wave in the wind.

Lina was slightly shorter, probably over 1.65 meters, with long red hair tied into two braids. Her round face and the gentle smile always on her lips gave her a delicate and adorable appearance, making one want to protect her.

Their personalities were also different, though he hadn't interacted with them much, he could sense it.

Lilia was more mature, somewhat like a female Ph.D. student he had met in the lab during his college days. They seemed to be the same type of person, as if nothing in the world mattered except for their studies.

Lina, on the other hand, was like a little princess, curious about everything. Perhaps she hadn't fully understood her master's character before, and she had kept her questions to herself or whispered them to Lilia. But now, she was different, probably too excited. Liu Siyi wasn't a very strict or rigid person, so he didn't stop her. This was good, as long as everyone recognized him as the core, fostering a harmonious and cohesive team.

Of course, different people might have different views. Some might think that establishing supreme personal authority would be better...

In any case, this was a matter of perspective, and the effectiveness was hard to compare.

Even units recruited from the same nest or base would have individual differences, and as a human, Liu Siyi could easily see the differences between the witches. Reflecting on it, even the Thunderbirds he had previously recruited had individual differences. Among the three Thunderbirds, one was slender and flew faster; one was robust and had greater physical strength; and one had a deeper color of lightning, indicating a stronger lightning attack.

"Even a few second-tier treasures, if I can cultivate you two into heroes, they would be far less valuable," Liu Siyi said with a strongly infectious tone, at least he thought so. He patted Lina's shoulder, making her get down, or he might really lose control. The development of Western women was truly impressive.

Of course, everyone hoped their subordinates could break through and become heroes. This way, their loyalty would be much higher than those who were already heroes when captured. Even if there were ideological conflicts, at least they wouldn't stab you in the back.

'Master, to cultivate us into heroes, this is far from enough,' Lilia thought but didn't say it.

In any case, after hearing this, the two didn't say anything more on the surface. Lina was still excited, firmly believing that her master wouldn't deceive her. Lilia's eyes shone even brighter, making Liu Siyi dare not look. He knew that whether or not he could cultivate them into heroes, he couldn't deceive them, or the consequences would be dire.

"Process the unicorn meat, and we'll rest here today," Liu Siyi changed the subject and walked towards the golden treasure chest.

A golden treasure chest that might contain fourth-tier treasures, who knew what it might yield. Liu Siyi was unsure, and once again, he subconsciously took out the gambler's card from his storage space, holding it tightly in his hand.
