Chapter 37: Continuous Skill Level Up

Not long after he said this, the real estate manager handed Lu Yuan a token that was equivalent to a key.

“Sir, please take this. This is the proof that you own the land.”

[Congratulations on obtaining land. Please check the location yourself.]

[After obtaining the land, players can choose the type of building that they wish to build. There is only one chance to choose, so please choose wisely.]

Lu Yuan could not help but be delighted!

Finally!

This was Lu Yuan’s goal, he had finally achieved it.

Buying land with a prime location would have a great positive effect on Lu Yuan’s future development.

Soon, Lu Yuan rushed to his land, and he could not help but drool when he saw it.

The location was really good.

Then, Lu Yuan used the real estate certificate token and tried to open the management panel of the land.

On the management panel, he could choose the type of building he wanted to build.

Simply put, he could choose the type of shop that he wanted to build, whether it was a potion shop, an equipment shop, a Magic Research Institute, or anything else.

There were many choices available.

Lu Yuan could not help but look at the last column.

An auction house!

If one chose to build an auction house, it would provide a place for players to perform auctions.

Players could put their items up for bidding, but after each transaction was completed, there would be an amount of service charge.

The service charge was the main income of the auction house.

Lu Yuan’s gaze was stuck to the option of building an auction house.

“I remember that in my previous life, the people who chose to build an auction house all made a lot of money.”

In the game, there was a limit to the number of auction houses that could be built.

In each city, the number of auction houses that could be built was not allowed to exceed five, but players were allowed to transfer the ownership of their auction houses.

Therefore, Lu Yuan did not hesitate to choose to build an auction house.

This was a building that could bring him a lot of money.

[System notification: Currently, the player has chosen to build an auction house. The estimated completion time is three days. Please wait patiently.]

He still needed to wait for another 3 days.

If that was the case, he would just have to wait patiently.

Currently, there were two missions on Lu Yuan’s mission list.

One was to investigate the apostle, and the other was Solaka’s follow-up mission.

He had no clues on the investigation of the apostle at the moment, and he still had to wait for a day before he could take Solaka’s follow-up mission.

Both couldn’t be done at the moment, therefore, Lu Yuan decided to log off first.

Sigh!

Lu Yuan could not help but let out a sigh of relief.

After logging off, he saw that the sky outside had already darkened and it was already nighttime.

Unknowingly, another day had passed.

Lu Yuan ate some simple food, took a shower, and slept like he passed out.

Lu Yuan especially cherished the feeling of sleeping in real life, because Lu Yuan knew there wouldn’t be much time for him to do so in the future.

In the future, once there were abnormal changes in the game, he would not be able to sleep so comfortably anymore.

After a night of happy dreams, when Lu Yuan woke up, the light of dawn had already appeared outside.

This was the light the sun cast the moment it rose from the east.

He had gone to bed early last night, so it was only about eight o’clock when he woke up.

Lu Yuan washed up briefly and then cooked some noodles, which solved the problem of breakfast.

Then, he went online.

A white light flashed, and he was online again.

[System notification: Current mission updated. Go to Rogge’s Magic Research Institute and talk to Solaka.]

It seemed that the mission was now open to be completed.

Lu Yuan once again set his eyes on his talent.

Every day, he would have two talent points to level up his skills.

This time, Lu Yuan did not hesitate. He directly added the 2 talent points to the Shadow Following skill.

[Detected that the Shadow Following skill cannot be leveled up… Talent skill can break through the level limit of skills… Successful breakthrough… Shadow Following level +1.] The system’s intermittent notification sounded.

He had succeeded!

[Legendary Skill]: Shadow Following + 4

[Description]: Active skill, an extremely rare Divine skill among legendary thieves. Consumes 160 MP to enter Shadow State where attacks can be launched without being discovered. Under Shadow State, the player obtains 35% damage immunity. Lasts for 200 seconds, cooldown time: 20 minutes. (Note: cannot be upgraded)

Lu Yuan looked at the upgraded skill and felt very good.

After leveling up, the damage immunity of the skill had increased to 35%, the duration was also increased by 20 seconds, and the cooldown time was reduced by 2 minutes.

Lu Yuan was very satisfied with this.

At this moment, he could not help but look forward to the specs of his skill when he reached +10, +20, or even +100.

At that time, he would probably be able to use Stealth indefinitely. The damage reduction effect could even reach 99.9999999%.

That would be great!

Lu Yuan could not help but think this way.

However, he quickly snapped out of his delusions.

If he only had 2 points every day, he would probably need to accumulate a lot of skill points.

Lu Yuan thought for a moment about the other hidden missions in Amber City.

After thinking about it carefully, he realized that some of them were not very suitable for him, because the rewards were not that good, or to put it more simply, they were not worth it.

The missions that would provide good items and rewards would have to wait until he reached level 20.

“So for now, I should focus on Solaka’s follow-up missions.”

Thus, Lu Yuan quickly headed to Rogge’s Magic Research Institute.

Lu Yuan remembered the route and coordinates of the place, thus it was not long before he reached his destination.

Lu Yuan pushed the door open and walked in.

He saw Solaka and Rogge sitting quietly at the table. On the table was a map that was marked with dense routes and many red circles.

Of course, there were also several wine bottles beside Rogge.

The two seemed to be having a heated discussion when Lu Yuan pushed the door open and entered.

“You brat, you’re finally here!”

Solaka noticed Lu Yuan as soon as he entered.

“Hehe, brat, you’re finally here. I’ve been waiting for you!”

Rogge’s eyes lit up.

“You’re just in time!”

Lu Yuan’s face was full of confusion.

What are these two guys trying to do? Are they trying to sell me off?

“Hurry up and come over!”

Lu Yuan was quickly called over to the table.

Solaka said with a serious face, “Kid, I have a very important mission for you to investigate. I wonder if you have the courage to complete it.”

When Lu Yuan heard his words, he could not help but think, “Is this guy trying to trick me again?”

After all, with the two previous experiences, Lu Yuan had no choice but to be careful.

[Solaka has issued a hidden mission to you — Abnormal Frost!]

[Mission Requirement]: In the vicinity of Amber City, many monsters with frost elements are gradually becoming abnormal. Solaka suspects that it is related to the Frost Worship Grounds. The player needs to investigate five Frost Worship Grounds, record the anomalies and report to Solaka.

[Mission Reward]: 3,500 EXP, 70 gold coins, 70 reputation points, beginner Alchemy Inheritance!

[Mission Failure]: Solaka’s favorability -100!

[Mission Duration]: 24 hours
