Sequence adventurers roaming between two worlds

Leo didn't mention that he wanted to try taking on this legendary profession when the Silvermoon Labyrinth opened next time.

For many things, doing more and saying less is the best approach.

"The Great Gift of the Gods can be understood as the fact that the departed gods still have a fragment of their divine soul residing in the labyrinth of the world."

A hint of nostalgia appeared in Sylvia's eyes:

"Every four years in the golden autumn month, the gods hold a grand ceremony called the 'Gods' Grand Ceremony.' During that time, any adventurer who enters the dungeon can be ranked according to different levels based on the region and the dungeon's difficulty."

"The top 100 adventurers not only gain fame among the nations of the continent, but also receive benefits that are hard to find elsewhere."

"For example, rare feats, nearly extinct rare medicines, top-grade etheric weapons, and, as I mentioned before, rare blessings that can enhance attributes beyond their limits, and so on."

"That's a grand event that no adventurer can afford to miss. Even if you don't rank in the top 100 of your region, during the 'Gods' Grand Prize,' some monsters in the dungeon will have 'special attributes,' and the loot from defeating them can fetch a very good price."

"Unfortunately, only professionals can participate in the rankings. If you choose the path of legendary status, you'll have to wait another decade to participate in this grand event..."

A look of regret appeared in Sylvia's eyes.

If Leo had chosen a different path, perhaps he could have become a true professional before the start of this "Gods' Awards".

With his talent and ability, he might be able to make the list.

Although ordinary professions don't have a high ceiling and it's difficult to rank at the top, they're still fine at the bottom.

"I see." Leo nodded thoughtfully.

This "Grand Prize of the Gods" is clearly an event not to be missed; there are so many amazing things inside.

He was indeed not confident that he could acquire a legendary profession before the Silver Moon Labyrinth opened.

However, he was quite confident that he could become a true warrior!

……

After some time, Leo left the private conversation room on the second floor of the guild.

Sylvia was very busy. After the conversation ended, she left in a hurry, saying that she had to go deeper into the Silvermoon Forest to explore further and, incidentally, to find a resource that would be very helpful for Leo's practice of the Wolf Hunting Breathing Technique.

She seemed mysterious, as if she was about to surprise him.

Leo is grateful and hopeful about this.

But he didn't place too much hope on Sylvia.

He prefers to rely on himself rather than others.

With a "huge sum" of 5 gold coins and 100 contribution points, Leo strolled around the second floor of the guild with complete confidence.

The first stop is the "Professional Skills Exchange Center".

He walked up to the counter, glanced at the old man still lying on the wooden chair behind the counter, rocking back and forth, without changing his position or posture, and felt a little speechless.

This old man is really enjoying a leisurely "retirement life"!

Hearing the footsteps, the old man glanced at Leo and said indifferently, "You're here again? See for yourself. If you need anything, just tell me."

There weren't many adventurers in Baihe Town, and clearly, the old man knew them all.

Without saying much, Leo went to the skill exchange catalog and carefully browsed through it.

After a moment's thought, he chose two "premium" professional skills.

[Parry] and [Charge]

This is also a skill he currently lacks.

The former is a supplementary method when you can't dodge with the "slide step," while the latter is a dash method to quickly close the distance between yourself and the enemy.

The exchange price for [Parry] is 30 contribution points.

[Charge] is more expensive; as a warrior's signature skill, it requires 40 contribution points.

"You'll have a total of 70 contribution points. I expect a mentor to teach you these two skills within a day or two."

Someone's already teaching so soon... Could the tutor be Guts?

Is the guild just targeting one person to "leech off" them?

Leo was somewhat amused and exasperated.

Although he had guessed it, he had no intention of going to Gus in private.

If he were to offer his services, Gus, with whom he has a "fighting side by side" relationship, would likely not refuse free skills instruction.

But Leo knew even better that Gus, as the mentor, would receive a cut from the teaching of these skills.

Even professionals can be poor, especially the struggling [warriors]...

No need.

Leo's second stop was the alchemy shop.

"Boss, I'm here!"

As soon as he entered, Leo shouted with great "impressiveness".

Upon hearing this, the shop owner, a tall, thin middle-aged man who was sitting behind the counter reading a book, instinctively shuddered.

The familiar voice made him sigh, a helpless look on his face: "Mr. Leo, I've already transferred the introductory course to 'Alchemy and Pharmacology' to you at a low price, so please stop bothering me, okay?"

A while ago, in order to understand the basics of alchemy, Leo would come here to wander around whenever he had free time.

Just looking and asking questions without buying anything is like getting something for free.

"What, are you trying to drive customers away from your business?" Leo said with a stern face, tossing a gold coin lightly in his hand.

Seeing this, the shopkeeper's eyes lit up, and a professional, polite smile immediately appeared on his face. He quickly stood up from his chair: "What would you like, sir? Our shop has a wide variety of medicines..."

Hey, I still prefer your "rebellious" look from just now, please go back to your old self...

Leo smiled, but stopped teasing the shopkeeper and went straight to the point: "Besides vitality potions, what other potions can help adventurers quickly improve their skill levels?"

"There are definitely no potions that directly improve professional skills," the shopkeeper shook his head. "But there are indeed auxiliary training potions that are much more effective than vitality potions."

"It's just the price..."

Leo confidently stated, "Money is no object."

"Alright!" The golden light convinced the shopkeeper of Leo's immense wealth: "Please take a look at this potion, sir."

Adventurers, after all, might have been penniless one time, but if they got lucky and acquired something, it's not uncommon for them to turn their lives around overnight.

"The Tempering Potion's effect is to maximize the adventurer's stamina recovery speed, while also providing some mental recovery."

"To sum it up, let's say an adventurer's daily limit for practicing a certain skill is 50 times. With the help of Vitality Potions, that's 100 times. But with the Tempering Potion, that number can be increased to 150 times!"

"Going even higher isn't impossible, but the mental strain is unbearable. However, if combined with more effective mental recovery potions, such as Moonlight Dew, those with patience can push their training limits to 200 repetitions!"

"But mental recovery potions are too expensive. It's not worth it for just 50 practice sessions. I personally don't recommend them."

Leo's eyes lit up.

Are there other good things here?

His current "physical strength" and "mental strength" attributes allow him to practice his professional skills 75 times a day, compared to 150 times before when he used vitality potions.

If we use this gold-tempering potion, along with the moonlight dew potion, wouldn't it be possible to do 300 times?

With such efficiency, it only takes five days to master a professional skill!

Leo was completely smitten.

"How much do the two medications cost?"

The shop owner grinned, revealing his teeth like a cunning old fox wearing glasses: "Both of these potions are high-end products, and they have a certain premium."

"Here in Baihe Town, a bottle of Gold Tempering Potion costs 40 silver coins, while a bottle of Moonlight Dew Potion costs 60 silver coins."

No, a vitality potion only costs 10 silver coins!

These two medicines are several times more expensive!

Leo gasped.

I thought I was already "rich" with 5 gold coins, but now it seems that if I want to cultivate with high-level equipment, I need 1 gold coin a day just to buy two kinds of potions.

Five gold coins are only enough for five days' worth of expenses!

Not to mention, the high-intensity training also means that daily food expenses are considerable!

No, the cross-border trade plan must begin immediately!

Leo couldn't wait.
