I Ascend to the Divine Throne through Arcane Means - Chapter 149

Chapter 149: Chapter 145: Launching the Leek Harvesting Plan

Yay! A quest has been triggered!

The players surrounding Lis also quieted down, eager to hear what the quest was all about.

“Recently, there have been many disturbances in the Lower City District of Bright City, and I don’t know what exactly is happening. Can you help me figure it out?”

As soon as Lis finished speaking, a quest prompt appeared in front of the players.

———–

[Silver Level Quest: The Hidden Crisis in the Lower City District]

[Quest Requirement: Lis Kain has noticed that the Lower City District has been unrestful lately and suspects someone might be scheming something sinister. He would like someone to investigate it.]

[Quest Reward: Depending on the completion level (Highest Reward: Experience Points 100,000, Gold Coins 1,000)]

———–

Is this, this, this!

Is this such an exaggerated quest?

All the players present received this Silver Level quest and, looking at the quest reward prompt, were nearly blinded by the dazzling offers.

A hundred thousand Experience, compared to their current level-up requirement of just a thousand Experience, the gap was simply too large.

Furthermore, there was the reward of one thousand gold coins, and the game officials did not provide a channel to buy in-game gold coins, so even wealthy players had to purchase coins from other players.

This was still when the players had just entered the game and were unaware of the prices, but someone had already posted in the player forum offering 100 dollars for one gold coin.

Even if the completion wasn’t high, getting a share of the rewards would be enough.

The players at the scene looked at one another warily, seeing each person next to them as a direct competitor.

At that moment, Lis continued:

“It seems like all of you have the talent to become Professionals. Haven’t you gone to learn Professional Skills yet?”

One player quickly turned his eyes, and ingratiatingly responded:

“Lord Kane, we’ve just arrived in Bright City and joined the White Dove Chamber of Commerce; we still don’t know where to learn Professional Skills. What do you suggest?”

Lis almost wanted to clap for this clever young man, what a great assist.

Pretending to contemplate for a moment, Lis said with a smile:

“The Guild will provide opportunities for everyone to learn Professional Skills, but since I am here today, you can ask me if there’s something specific you want to learn.”

After he finished speaking, a panel listing available skills appeared in front of the players.

[Mage Skill Learning]

[Magic: Mage’s Hand, Flash Technique…; One-Circle Magic: Fireball Technique… etc]

[Warrior Skill Learning]

[Warrior Martial Skill: Danger Prediction, Block, Charge…]

[Hunter Skill Learning]

[Hunter Battle Skills: Tracking, Traps, Wind Walking Technique…]

[Assassin Skill Learning]

[Assassin Combat Techniques: Stealth, Backstabbing, Lock Opening…]

What’s going on?

How does this NPC have so many skills, and many of them are cross-professional combat skills!

Everyone looked at the skill learning panel that appeared before them, some of them were dumbstruck.

You’re holding a magic wand, are you a Mage?

Not right, maybe this is the correct way to use a Mage in an Otherworld?

However, some players noticed Lis’s All-Purpose Talent and guessed it might be the effect brought by this talent.

However, looking at the Experience required to learn the skills, even for the most basic Magic, they did not have enough Experience to learn it.

Even Liu’s Titan was the same, having spent all the recently gained Experience on leveling up.

“Let me try.”

At that moment, a voice rose from among the players, and a male player with the name “Huo Yanyi” stepped forward, choosing to spend Experience Points to learn [Magic: Mage’s Hand].

Huo Yanyi’s eyes lit up as he raised his left hand. A faintly glowing arm appeared in mid-air, moving at his command as though he had truly gained an extra hand.

The nearby players burst into an uproar, asking eagerly:

“Have you already learned it?”

“Does that mean you count as a mage now?”

“That’s so cool, I feel like becoming a mage too!”

Huo Yanyi nodded and said,

“The system just notified me that I could choose to advance to mage, no problem.”

At this, many people looked towards Lis with burning eyes, as this was much faster than saving up money to learn skills in the Mercenary Guild.

Ignoring the noisy players, Lis looked at the player named Huo Yanyi with a somewhat curious gaze.

This person was also quite a famous mage in the games of the past life. Unlike Lis, he had transitioned here from another game.

No wonder he had gathered the experience to learn the skills so quickly.

Looking at the system panel, the Experience Points that Huo Yanyi had just spent on learning the skill had already entered Lis’s pocket.

Lis nodded in satisfaction; so far, everything was going smoothly. It seemed the prospects for these newbies were very promising, and soon he wouldn’t have to worry about the massive amount of experience needed for leveling up and learning.

With so many players, even a little from each was enough for Lis’s needs.

Still, it was best to cultivate these players properly, both to expand the scope of newbie grounds and to enhance their quality!

“What’s your name?” Lis asked Huo Yanyi, looking at him with an appreciative glance.

Seeing his chance, Huo Yanyi swiftly replied:

“Lord Lis, my name is Huo Yanyi.”

“Good job, keep it up. I have high hopes for you.” Lis said with a smile, elevating Huo Yanyi’s membership level to Intermediate, just like Liu’s Titan.

Huo Yanyi was a bit surprised. When he joined the White Dove Guild, he had carefully studied the benefits. The higher the membership level, the more discounts on purchases and the more tasks he could receive.

Just moving from low-level to intermediate needed enough contribution points for quite a long grind.

When the other players learned of this news, they too expressed their sincere envy and jealousy toward these two lucky players.

Lis just smiled and said,

“I hope everyone works hard in the White Dove Guild. I have some special items here that you might like.”

With that, a brand-new shop page appeared on everyone’s panels.

The system showed this shopping page as “Lis’s Mysterious Shop,” where all the items were fairly rare magic equipment and tools.

For instance, the top item [Jade Wand] was priced at twenty thousand gold coins and it also required a middle-level membership at the White Dove Guild and fifty goodwill points from Lis.

Besides, there were a variety of Bronze level basic equipment, portable magic arrays, and consumables like magic potions.

These were the supplies Mora had prepared especially for Lis. Although these players couldn’t afford them, it was enough to keep their interest piqued.

The players became excited when they discovered the new store.

“Damn! There’s even a Gold Level wand!”

“Is it the one Lis is holding? It looks so cool!”

“What are you thinking about? Didn’t you see it costs twenty thousand gold coins? How long would we need to save up?”

“And it requires an intermediate membership and goodwill points too, how are we supposed to manage that?”

“Let’s go, the manager from the White Dove Guild just said we could take on tasks, right? The rewards should include experience and contribution points.”

“Hurry, I need to grind, I need to overwork!”
