It was just as he expected. Since they were abilities marked on the Grace panel, they must be quite powerful.
"Master, please wait! You will be returned to your world shortly."
Following the little system's guidance, Lin Feng slowly closed his eyes. The next time he opened them, he found himself back in the ruined house, lying on the sofa.
"Master, the abilities have been extracted and can be used at any time."
"Oh, right. Although the gods in this world have their divine power sealed, the abilities Master extracts are not subject to that restriction. You can use them freely."
After saying this, the little system went silent, as if going back to sleep.
"Concealment!"
Since the little system said so, Lin Feng immediately whispered the name of Megumi's magic skill. If it worked, he should be invisible in a mirror or a window's reflection. With this thought, Lin Feng walked to the window. The mirror was in the room where Hayasaka Ai and the others were sleeping. If he went in there invisible, it would feel a bit perverted.
"The movement speed is a bit slow. It seems this skill isn't without a cost, just a very small one."
Lin Feng's entire body movement slowed to one-third of his normal speed, the same effect Katou Megumi experienced in the dungeon. A place that normally took ten seconds to reach now took thirty, or even more. Fortunately, it only slowed his body, not his brain or reactions. Otherwise, this skill would be useless. If you became a dummy after using it, how could you kill or defend against monsters?
"As expected, I'm not visible in the window."
Lin Feng was relieved. He also hadn't been sent back to Tenkai by some rule for using an ability. After confirming, he deactivated the magic and returned to the sofa, preparing for sleep. Before long, the dilapidated house fell into a peaceful silence, broken only by the sound of light, occasional snoring.
....
"Feng-kun~ Feng-kun, wake up!"
Lin Feng, who was having a sweet dream, felt someone pushing his shoulder. He vaguely heard a voice calling him. He looked left and right, but found nothing.
"Sheesh! Feng-kun is such a heavy sleeper. Ai-chan, can you come help?"
Katou Megumi had been standing in front of Lin Feng calling him for a minute or two. Seeing that he still showed no signs of waking, she pouted slightly and turned to Hayasaka Ai, who had just finished washing up.
"Let me! Megumi, watch closely. This is how you deal with heavy sleepers!"
Hayasaka walked over, intending to give Katou Megumi a practical demonstration.
Katou Megumi thought Hayasaka was just going to rip the blanket off Lin Feng. But instead, she watched as Ai bent down, reached out, placed her fingers on Lin Feng's nose, and pinched. All in one smooth motion.
Very quickly, Lin Feng, lying on the
"bed"
(sofa), felt it hard to breathe. He was suffocating. But he didn't feel any weight on his chest, so it wasn't sleep paralysis.
However, Hayasaka Ai was smart and quick. The instant Lin Feng was about to open his eyes, she immediately put her hands behind her back and walked over to Katou Megumi, acting as if she was just striking up a conversation.
Lin Feng, who had been holding his breath, opened his eyes and saw this scene. He felt that something about the picture was very strange. Having been woken up like this, Lin Feng had no choice but to get up.
Ten minutes later, Lin Feng, having washed up, was enjoying the breakfast Katou Megumi had made. They had woken up early to buy the ingredients from a nearby market.
"Megumi's cooking is great! I love it!"
Lin Feng polished off the rest of his breakfast in a few quick bites.
"Ai-chan, take off your clothes for a second."
???
The three girls, who had already finished eating, were packing their gear for the dungeon. Hearing Lin Feng's words, all three—including Kanao—froze. Three sharp and questioning gazes pierced right through Lin Feng.
"Hentai! Lord Lin Feng, you're such a pervert!"
Hayasaka Ai looked at him as if he were a disgusting slug or a pile of smelly garbage, her eyes full of vigilance. Could it be? This 'evil god' isn't going to keep up his disguise anymore?
"Hey, hey, hey! Don't let your imaginations run wild!"
"I meant, to update your status panel! Just like yesterday!"
Lin Feng immediately realized how perverted his words had sounded. He really couldn't take shortcuts when speaking.
Seeing Lin Feng's flustered and earnest explanation, the three girls temporarily set aside their suspicions. Following the same order as yesterday, they each let Lin Feng update their Grace.
[Hayasaka Ai: Lv.1] [Strength: I-15] [Endurance: I-14] [Dexterity: I-18] [Agility: I-20] [Magic: I-0] [Magic: (Four Forms)] [Skill: (Combat Mastery)]
"This isn't much progress!"
Hayasaka Ai looked at the paper Lin Feng handed her, which showed her updated stats, and pouted.
