Chapter 15
Listen, doesn't this sound just like a pig's snoring? Or is it a wild boar?
"Sakura, are you alright?"
Wang Changsheng couldn't help but twitch his lips when he saw Xiaoying's strange appearance.
I don't know what this girl is thinking, but the tuft of hair on her head keeps bobbing up and down, jumping back and forth.
"Huh? Ah, no, I'm fine." Wang Changsheng's voice interrupted Xiaoying's thoughts.
Recalling her own fierce and aggressive appearance, Sakura's cheeks immediately flushed.
"Um, well, Xiao Wang, you heard the sound just now, right?" Xiao Ying quickly changed the subject.
"Yes, that's right. I came to find you because I heard strange noises." Wang Changsheng nodded. "Can you sense where the noises are coming from?"
The sound continued to emanate.
The sound was strange, coming in waves, very rhythmic and regular, thump-thump-thump.
Wang Changsheng knew, of course, where the sound came from and what it was, but he certainly couldn't just take Xiaoying straight to the underground library to find that pig Xiao Ke and drag him out.
We still need to guide them a bit.
"It seems so."
Xiaoying leaned against Wang Changsheng and felt much more at ease. Although the sound was still ringing, she was able to concentrate and listen carefully to where it was coming from.
"It seems to be coming from the underground library, where my father's books are kept." Sakura's expression turned tense. "Could there be a thief? But there are books everywhere, what would a thief be doing there?"
Sakura was a little confused.
Then, another possibility came to mind.
"Could it be a ghost?"
"Thump—snoring"
Before Sakura could finish speaking, the strange sound suddenly rang out again.
Sakura gasped in surprise and quickly shrank her small body to Wang Changsheng's side.
Upon hearing this voice, Wang Changsheng was not afraid at all; instead, his lips twitched.
He hesitated for two seconds, then rested his chin on his hand and turned his gaze to Sakura.
"Sakura, don't you think this voice sounds a bit like a pig snoring? No, it's exactly the same, and it's a wild boar!"
"Huh?" Sakura was stunned.

Message: You have acquired a level three spell – Eight Gates Star Fixing Technique!
Message: Sakura Kinomoto's negative points +66
Eight Gates Star Fixing Technique: Seal! Control! Master! Eight Gates Star Fixing, endless brilliance!
Upon seeing the system's prompt, Wang Changsheng paused for a moment.
Level 3 magic?
The previous Fireball spell was a Level 1 spell, while Stun and Teleport were special spells similar to those in Harry Potter.
Therefore, the two are essentially incomparable.
However, if we had to make a comparison, we could also categorize the spells based on the amount of magic power they consume, roughly classifying them into different levels.
For example, Wang Changsheng's magic source is a very high-level magic source, matching all things in the god-level magic book, belonging to the same level.
Therefore, although it is a first-level source, it has more and more powerful magic than the first-level magic of an ordinary person.
They are both essentially top-tier, but their quality is completely different. One is gold, and the other is plastic. There is simply no way to compare them.
That's why, even though Wang Changsheng used the Teleportation Technique nearly ten times in one go, he only used half of his magic power.
It's important to know that teleporting consumes a considerable amount of magic power.
Wang Changsheng had also briefly experienced the energy consumption of a level one magic spell, Fireball, which was nothing compared to the teleportation spell.
With a single teleportation, he can throw out five fireballs.
However, since he had never actually used the fireball spell, Wang Changsheng was not entirely sure of the exact numbers; it depended on how the system determined them.
As for the Eight Gates Star Fixing Technique, since it is a level three magic, it must be more powerful than magic like Fireball. Even compared with Shadow Shift, it is probably not far behind, and may even be superior.
"Little Wang, should we call the police first?" Xiaoying's voice rang out, pulling Wang Changsheng's thoughts away from the system's rewards.
"Call the police?" Wang Changsheng was taken aback, then shook his head. "We have no idea what's down there. But Xiaoying, think about it, this sound, which is similar to a wild boar snoring, sounds more like some animal has sneaked in and is sleeping in the basement than a thief or anything else, doesn't it?"
"Huh?"
Upon hearing this, Sakura couldn't help but think it made sense, and then nodded gently.
She listened carefully and realized that although the strange sound was a series of thumping noises, it also seemed to be a snore.
Could it really be that some animal ran in while no one was home?
That doesn't seem like a impossible possibility.
Thinking of this, Xiaoying looked at Wang Changsheng again and asked, "So what do we do now?"
"What should we do? Let's go down and take a look. If it's some kind of animal, we'll chase it away. If it's a thief, we'll come back and call the police."
Wang Changsheng's voice rang out, proposing an idea.
"Well, okay then," Sakura nodded, not refusing the suggestion.

After all, she also wanted to go down and see what was sleeping soundly in their family's underground library.
Sakura's thinking was also influenced by Wang Changsheng, and her initial fear turned into curiosity.
Seeing that Xiaoying agreed, Wang Changsheng was about to walk towards the entrance of the basement.
However, at that moment, Sakura grabbed him again.
"Xiao Wang, wait a minute."
"Hmm?" Wang Changsheng, who had been pulled by Sakura, couldn't help but turn around and look at her. "What's wrong?"
"We can't go down empty-handed," Sakura said in a low voice.
Then, she looked around, and when her gaze fell on the corner, her eyes suddenly lit up. She picked up the item from the corner and handed it to Wang Changsheng, saying, "Take this; we can use it for self-defense!"
"Well"
Wang Changsheng froze on the spot as he watched Sakura shove a broom that was lying in the corner of the room into her hand.
He stared blankly at the broom in his hand.
Then, his lips twitched, and he looked at Sakura expressionlessly.
"Sakura, is this for us to use for self-defense?"
"Yes, yes, that's right!" Sakura nodded repeatedly.
Wang Changsheng:
Self-defense?
With just this broom?
Sakura, are you planning to make me use this thing to clear the path in front of the unknown beings below?
Is it to make it easier for people to walk, to make them walk cleaner, more gracefully, and more efficiently?
(——゛) Oh my god~
