Sequence adventurers roaming between two worlds

"Gurgle gurgle..."

The wheels of the cart rolled along the dirt road through the forest.

A light rain in the early morning turned the ground into a muddy mess. The yellow mud splashed up by the rolling wheels made the elf girl walking behind wrinkle her nose and take two steps back in disgust.

"Leo, I told you to take it easy, now you're paying the price, aren't you?"

The man pulling the cart was Hassen, a dwarf with a mocking smile on his face.

Leo lay back on the cart, his face full of embarrassment.

After discovering the wonderful use of [Mirror Return to Origin] last night, he couldn't wait to train the [Slide Step] skill to level 1 as well.

In the end, he did indeed master it.

The price he paid was that his muscles were sore all over, and even a simple step made his thighs ache so much that he gasped for breath.

Having been out of exercise for a long time, he suddenly had to do such a large amount of exercise. Although he managed to do it on the spot, the soreness afterwards almost made him lose his ability to move.

Fortunately, Captain Ge Mie was a skilled carpenter who could make a washboard cart.

Captain Gomez, walking beside the cart, looked at the grimacing young man on it, paused for a moment, then took a vial from his bag and handed it to Leo:

"Drink it. It's a vitality potion, a common supplementary potion for newcomers learning professional skills. It will help you recover quickly."

"Thank you, Captain." Leo's eyes showed gratitude.

What he traded the brass revolver for was only the professional skills taught by Captain Goblin; nothing else was included.

Of course, it is also related to his high level of talent.

Leo silently remembered this kindness.

The recovery potion has a cool, refreshing taste with a hint of mint.

A dozen seconds later, a warm current rose from his body and flowed to all parts of his body.

Immediately, the aches and pains throughout my body were greatly relieved.

Leo looked surprised: "Such a powerful effect."

"Of course." Cecilia, who was walking behind, snorted. "This is a vitality potion that costs 10 silver coins per bottle."

Leo didn't know the purchasing power of 1 silver in this world, but judging from the elven girl's tone, it was certainly not low.

Realizing this, he was about to speak again to express his gratitude when he saw Captain Ge Mie wave his hand:

"Leo, your talent is far greater than I initially expected..." He paused, then continued, "far surpassing what I anticipated."

Clearly, he already knew about what happened last night through Cecilia and the dwarf Hassen.

"In just one day, you learned the [slash] and [slide] techniques."

"But that's precisely why you need to be more careful in choosing your professional skills going forward."

Leo was puzzled, but he didn't interrupt; instead, he listened quietly.

Captain Ge Mie is a pioneer in his professional career and certainly knows more than him.

"Human energy and time are limited."

"And to get a job, you need a specific combination of professional skills."

"Only by pushing your professional skills to the highest level possible within the limited time and energy can you go further on your career path."

"The higher the talent, the more necessary it is."

"My profession is not 'warrior,' but rather a rare one, which may not be suitable for you."

"Therefore, before you decide on the career path you want to take in the future, do not rush to learn other professional skills, so as not to distract your energy and waste your talents."

Leo had a toothache.

That's true, but his situation is a bit special. He can use the "skill reset" between lower-level skills to push other skills to higher levels.

However, he could not and should not discuss the matter of the Primordial Mirror with outsiders.

"The adventurer town of Shirakawa is more suitable for you."

"After we've dealt with the last goblin lair, you'll come with us back to White River Town."

"If you're willing to become an adventurer, you'll have a much broader platform there."

Leo didn't hesitate: "I want to become an adventurer."

Having witnessed the unique life of professionals, how could he be willing to be an ordinary person who could be killed by monsters at any time?

Captain Gomez nodded: "In that case, for the time being, you just need to focus on practicing [Slash] and [Slide Step]. I won't teach you any other class skills."

"You learn very quickly, almost without me having to put in any effort, which is different from what we agreed on at the beginning. Therefore, I will provide you with a vitality potion every day until we return to Baihe Town."

"Captain, how much longer until we reach Baihe Town?" Leo asked.

"Barring any unforeseen circumstances, it should take about five days."

"We need to deal with the goblin nest in Flower Stone Village in the next two days, and we'll have three days to return."

Five days...

Leo pondered for a moment.

He can't learn new skills, but with the Vitality Potion, the number of times he can practice skills each day will increase significantly.

One decrease and one increase, so it's not a loss.

"I'll follow your instructions." Leo nodded.

In just a short while, he felt that his body had recovered considerably under the effect of the vitality potion.

Leo tried to get up; although the soreness was still there, it was within a tolerable range.

Captain Goku nodded, his metal mask making a soft clicking sound: "Learning a professional skill is just the beginning. To become a true professional, you need to practice the corresponding skill to the 'Mastery' level."

proficient?

Which level of the panel does this correspond to?

Leo immediately voiced his doubts, "Captain, how is this 'Mastery' level determined?"

"It's very simple." Captain Goku held up two fingers: "First, when a professional skill is practiced to the 'Mastery' level, it will often produce a corresponding mastery bonus, which is very obvious."

"Second, go to adventurer guilds in various places and use the equipment to check your data card, which will show your skill mastery level."

"According to the information card, level 1 is learning, and level 5 is mastering."

There's also a data card?

Leo was startled.

It seems that while the world's "level of development" may not be reflected in technology, it has made great strides in its own extraordinary systems.

"I understand," Leo nodded.

……

When the sunset's afterglow bathes the earth in a golden hue.

Li Ao and his group also arrived at the entrance of Huashi Village without incident.

Before long, the village chief who had issued the commission came out with several villagers to greet them.

"Adventurers, you must help us!" The village chief was an old man in his fifties. His skin was dark and his hair was wrinkled from working hard all day, making him look like a withered old eggplant.

"Those damned goblins! They're showing up in hordes, destroying crops, attacking villages, and stealing our pigs and sheep..."

Leo stood beside the cart, stretching his muscles.

With the help of the vitality potion, he fully recovered in half a day.

On the contrary, little Eve, because she was too young, became exhausted and became the "new passenger" on the cart.

Leo noticed that the members of the Brother Extinction Squad frowned unconsciously as they listened to the village chief's story.
