A Little Reward
1178 Words
He stepped into the hall of skills. What catches the eye is the beautifully decorated interior lobby. The dome is light-transmissive, and the warm sunlight spills down, and everyone's shadow is clearly visible.
James smiled slightly, he recalled his previous life's memories. And there is a hidden small reward here. He walked straight towards Adrian, the polymath.
"Can you teach me skills, please?"
Adrian is an old man with gray hair. At this time, he is reading a book seriously. Hearing James's voice, he raised his head and glanced at Lin Mo.
"Yes, two silver coins per skill." He said lightly. Two silver coins, that is, two hundred copper coins. The initial amount of each player is only fifty copper coins.
"I don't have that much money…" James said.
Adrian said impatiently: "I won't teach you skills without money."
"Maybe I can exchange it with the green wild boar skin." he smiles lightly.
Adrian raised his head abruptly and stared at James, "How did you know that we are missing these supplies?" His tone was very severe.
"A friend told me." His eyes looked directly at the skill instructor, Adrian, without any fear.
The polymath Adrian looked at him for a long time and said, "If you can bring two bundles of green barbaric leather, I will teach you a skill for free… a skill that is more powerful than a normal skill."
James danced inside, but on the surface, he still said with difficulty: "But, respected polymath, I don't have the ability to fight with the green wild boar now…"
"I can teach you skills in advance." Adrian stared into his eyes, "You should also know the consequences of deceiving me."
"Yes, respectable scholar." James smiled.
Then a simple and elegant interface appeared in front of James. There are three skills to choose from.

The first one is the upgraded version of Fireball, "Burst Fireball", the other is the upgraded version of Shadow Breath, "Shadow Corruption", and the other is the upgraded version of Freeze, "Instant Freeze".
These skills are relatively rare and difficult for ordinary players to obtain.
Without any hesitation, he chose the "Freezing Technique" skill. This skill will be available soon, and this skill will help James through the distressing situation.
"You learned the Instant-freeze technique." After a ding, a system prompt sounded.
He took a look, and he had the first skill in his skill slot. The effect of this skill is stronger than freezing.
If James remembers correctly, the coverage of "Instant Freeze" is 1.5 times that of ordinary Freeze, and the maintenance time has been extended by three seconds. The duration of ordinary freezing is four seconds.
James bowed to Adrian, then turned and left.
At this time, there is no player in the skill hall except for NPC. Players now are still in a period of ignorance and exploration.
This is also good. Taking advantage of his rebirth, James can develop faster and leave other players far behind.
Berux Town is located in the southeast of the mainland, in a coastal zone. There is a shallow island in the distance that can be seen from the coast.
Because it is within sight, it is easy to see that the small island is actually very small.
My own past life has been here…for the "ring of Chaos" for the specialty here. Although he found nothing in the end, he found an opened dark gold treasure box here.
The items in the treasure box must have been taken away, but according to his experience, this should be low-level small top-quality equipment.
Even though it is low-level, a piece of dark gold equipment is worth more than 5 gold coins. 5 gold coins are transformed into silver coins, and 500 silver coins are converted into silver coins. This piece of equipment exceeds the actual 1000 credits based on the previous life's exchange rate. If there are over a thousand credits, James will have enough to eat and drink for a month.
As a result, James' initial idea was to open this undiscovered treasure trove.
He doesn't need to learn the "Treasure Unlock" spell because it's a low-level treasure chest. However, getting there is difficult due to its location on a small island far from the mainland.
At present, the players do not have a deep understanding of the game. In other words, the players do not know the system routines.
Many people would think that it is just a dispensable distant scenery.
They would not have thought that there would be a reward for those who are waiting to challenge themselves and appreciate the beautiful scenery. Perhaps this is a philosophy of game planners.
In many hidden and magical places, James has seen similar treasure chests that are opened or quietly waiting to be opened. Of course, not every box is that high-end, but more or less there are many bronze and silver boxes.
He didn't walk directly towards the island, but went to the drug store and bought a bottle of magic potion. It's not that he doesn't want to buy more, but that he doesn't have enough money.
A bottle of primary magic potion can restore 100 mana points and is worth 50 copper coins. This is also the full value of every player who just entered the game.
Then he clicked on the attribute interface and added his three attribute points to intelligence. His upper limit of mana reached 185 points. The magic recovery rate is 2 points per second.
This arrangement of attribute points is to increases the upper limit of mana and the speed of mana recovery. In order to obtain that dark gold treasure chest.
Now, there are three ways to successfully land on the island, one is to swim over, the other is to fly over.
Unless you have a uncommon skill, swimming past and flying past are not realistic for most players.
For example, the transforming technique allows you to transform into a fish or a bird and travel freely.
Although he knows how to obtain the equipment that includes the transformation technique, the current James, who is at a very low level, does not have access to it.
So there's a third option. This entails walking directly across the ice sea.
He heard the sound of money crashing after purchasing a bottle of magic potion, and his only 50 copper pennies were subtracted.
Placing the potion in the bag is a good idea. He took a step towards the water. At the very least, it'll be there in half an hour.
The more he walks away, the more primitive and desolate the scenery becomes. The snow maple trees are all around. There is only one trail in Berux Jungle for players to walk on.
In the beginning, He met two or three exploration players who were walking together. After ten minutes of walking, there was no one on the road.
Only occasionally do a few snow maple leaves fall silently.
