Sequence adventurers roaming between two worlds

"Tap tap..."

Leo walked alone up to the second floor of the guild.

As for little Eve, she stayed on the first floor and was looked after by Miss Sanhua.

Little Eve is not an adventurer and is not qualified to go up to the second floor of the guild.

The girl was very disappointed, but she didn't insist and waited patiently.

Contrary to Leo's expectations, the second floor of the guild was not the kind of library with a strong sense of "mystery". Instead, it was more like the second floor of the university cafeteria in his previous life, with its multi-functional layout.

For example, there's a pharmacy located not far from the second-floor stairwell, with shelves filled with a large number of bottles and jars.

Leo's eyes narrowed slightly when he saw the medicines.

The potions from the Western Regions can be considered alchemical potions in some ways.

To concoct potions and determine whether Shadow Shards can be used as a substitute for Thief's Potions, one needs a certain level of alchemy and potion-making knowledge.

"I can find an opportunity to ask where I can learn alchemy and potion-making later."

Thinking this, Leo didn't rush to the potion shop to inquire, but instead walked towards the shop further away that had a sign that read "Professional Skill Exchange".

Compared to the pharmacy filled with goods, the shelves here were empty, except for a thick book on the counter.

Hearing approaching footsteps, the old man, who was reclining on a rocking wooden chair behind the counter with his legs crossed, said unhurriedly, "Take a look yourself, and tell me what you need."

Is it that relaxed?

Sir, are you working part-time here after you retired?

Leo mentally grumbled, then opened the books on the counter.

Suddenly, a list of skills appeared before his eyes.

Among them are the [Slash] and [Slide] moves that Leo has already mastered.

The former requires 20 contribution points to redeem for learning.

The latter requires a higher price, 30 points.

[Parry], [Whirlwind Slash], [Precision Shot]...

A series of professional skills dazzled Leo, but the vast majority of skills had an exchange price between 15 and 30 contribution points.

This made Leo realize that the 100 contribution points he had earned were more powerful in terms of purchasing power than he had expected.

"Grandpa, why don't I see anything related to breathing techniques?"

After searching for a while without finding what he wanted, Leo had no choice but to ask.

"Breathing techniques?" The swaying wooden chair stopped. "These newcomers are still as unrealistic as ever."

Even so, the old man still pointed to a thin booklet in the corner of the counter: "There it is, go and see for yourself."

"Thanks."

Leo didn't care about his attitude.

He opened another booklet.

There aren't many breathing techniques available for exchange; to be precise, there are very few—only four in total:

[Bear Breathing Technique], [Bull Breathing Technique], [Cat Breathing Technique], [Owl Breathing Technique]

The four breathing techniques focus on strength, stamina, agility, and perception, respectively.

They also correspond to four basic classes: Warrior, Shieldbearer, Wanderer, and Archer.

Among them, the [Bear Breathing Technique] and [Bull Breathing Technique] are the cheapest, requiring only 100 contribution points.

The [Cat Breathing Technique] is a bit pricey, requiring 150 contribution points.

As for the [Night Owl Breathing Technique], it is the most expensive, requiring a full 200 contribution points!

Leo's brows furrowed involuntarily.

So expensive!

At the same time, he also faced a dilemma:

If he were to exchange for a professional skill, he could exchange for two or three, but correspondingly, once he had exchanged for a professional skill, the remaining contribution points would not be enough for him to exchange for a breathing technique.

"This is getting a bit tricky."

After some hesitation, Leo finally made his decision.

First, exchange for the breathing technique!

His current goal is to become a professional in the shortest possible time.

It doesn't matter whether the job is good or bad, as long as you are a professional.

With the [Primordial Mirror] by his side, if Leo is dissatisfied with a certain profession, he can reset his skill points "without loss".

Unlike ordinary people, once they choose a career, they have no chance of regretting it!

Only after becoming a professional can he return to the Western Regions to more easily deal with the threat from Leona and better obtain information and resources related to potions.

Leo looked at the detailed introduction to the [Bear Breathing Technique].

——【Bear Breathing Technique】: A breathing technique that focuses on explosive power. The class spirit that can be summoned is 【Warrior】. Once mastered and used, all five attributes will be increased simultaneously, with the increase in strength attribute being particularly prominent.

This is it!

To become a Warrior, Leo has already mastered the skills of Slash and Slide. Next, he only needs to master any other melee skill and learn the breathing technique before he can start trying to summon and communicate with the spirit of his class.

This is the job that Leon can get the fastest!

"Old man, I want to exchange for this 'Bear Breathing Technique'."

Leo put down the booklet, looked at the old man behind the counter, and handed him his identity token.

"Huh?" Upon hearing that he needed to exchange it, the old man was clearly taken aback. After confirming that Leo was not teasing him, he stood up, took the identity token, and scanned it on a metalworking platform that resembled a scanner.

"Beep! Redemption successful!"

The old man stared wide-eyed at Leo, clicking his tongue in amazement: "I never expected this, I never expected that among the new adventurers in our Baihe Town, we could produce such a formidable person as you."

"Hey kid, what's your name?"

"Leo." Leo retrieved the token, waited a moment, and seeing the old man lie back down, he couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you going to give me a training manual or something for the [Bear Breathing Technique]?"

The old man looked over with amusement: "Learning breathing techniques involves too many details. If you're not careful, your body can suffer serious damage."

"Therefore, whether it's a skill or a breathing technique, after you exchange it with the guild, the guild will entrust an adventurer who is proficient in that ability to personally guide you until you have learned it to a basic level."

"You think you can learn breathing techniques just from a manual? Kid, don't think it's that simple."

Hearing this, Leo felt a little embarrassed.

He was indeed negligent.

After all, he learned his skills through the "reflection" of the Primordial Mirror, while for ordinary people in this world, learning a skill is a very time-consuming and laborious process.

"Leave your address here, and your advisor will have someone contact you when he returns."

"Probably in two or three days. Just go back and wait."

The old man waved his hand and started swaying back and forth on the wooden chair.

No wonder you're so relaxed.

Leo sighed helplessly, then turned and left.

Since that's what they said, what else could he do?

We can only wait.

Back on the first floor of the union building.

Leo saw Miss Three Flowers holding Little Eve's hand, standing in front of a large billboard covered with commissioned tasks.

"Entrust something..."

Leo seemed to be deep in thought.

Currently, both his [Slash] and [Slide] skills are at level 5. Even with [Mirror Return], it would take a considerable amount of time to level one of them to level 6 because there is no "experience buff".

The most cost-effective way is to collect 15 to 30 contribution points and exchange them for a professional skill that someone in the guild can teach you right now.

By using the "experience buff," you can quickly level up to lv.5, thereby stacking the three skills and pushing one of them to lv.6.

Contribution points can only be obtained through commissioned tasks.

Thinking of this, he stepped forward and said with a smile, "Miss Sanhua, I wonder if there are any suitable commissions near Baihe Town that I can complete in the short term?"
