Chapter 39 - You Are Wasting Your Talent as a Mage

Chapter 39 You Are Wasting Your Talent as a Mage

“You are wasting your talent as a Mage!!!” Lyorick had been complaining for more than ten minutes.

This was no longer the action mode of a normal NPC. It could only be said that the setting was too realistic.

Magister Lyorick was so angry that he had no words. Afraid that the Magister was thirsty, Wu Yan passed him a glass of clear spring water.

This was a material item in his inventory. He wondered if it could quench the thirst of NPCs in the game.

Lyorick took the clear spring water that Wu Yan passed him and drank it.

After doing so, he grabbed Wu Yan and lectured him for a few more minutes.

In the end, Lyorick gave up. He was only an introductory Magister to all the Mages in the Main City,

He was only responsible for teaching them skills, and not nurturing them or making them his apprentices.

He was special to Wu Yan because the boy was truly talented.

However, he still taught the boy, “Since you’ve already become his apprentice, although your Master is of a vulgar class, you can’t just quit. You can wait until you finish your apprenticeship before you learn other livelihood skills.”

Lyorick had revealed a few key terms in his words.

That was, one could learn new livelihood skills after completing their current apprenticeship. He wondered if there would be a limit as to how many skills one could learn.

Previously, Heaven Punisher had said that it would be difficult to learn multiple skills at the same time.

Wu Yan thought for a while and asked again, “Magister, do I still have the chance to learn new skills?”

The way Lyorick looked at Wu Yan was as though he was looking at an unpolished jade.

He sighed and took out a parchment. It was written in a language that Wu Yan could not understand.

“Sign your name on this, and I’ll give you the Mage class skill quest ahead of time,” After saying that, Lyorick’s pale face became a little nervous, “The class skill quest is quite difficult, and the number of times you can do it is limited…”

There were still a few words that he did not say in the end. This was the most he had said to a new human.

In the face of the other new humans, Lyorick had always been strictly business-like and rarely said anything more.

Wu Yan nodded. He accepted Lyorick’s class skill quest.

[Quest Name: Class Skill Quest Level 1)

[Quest Level: Recommended to be above level 15.]

(Quest Difficulty: Above average]

[Quest Introduction: This is a quest issued by Lyorick (Flying Mantis Dungeon Quest)]

[Quest Details: Head to the base of the Flying Mantis. Kill 100 Flying Mantis and 1 Flying Mantis leader (Elite). Obtain 100 Flying Mantis legs.)

Wu Yan carefully read the quest introduction. It seemed that he had pulled some strings.

Did the quest being level 1 mean that there would be more levels in the future?

The good thing was that as he left the Beginners’ Village, the introductions of the quests were increasingly detailed, unlike the quests back in the Beginners’ Village that only consisted of a quest title and a short introduction. Back then, he had relied solely on guessing to complete the quests.

Not only was the current quest detailed, but also had a difficult assessment as conducted by the system.

He looked at the introduction of the difficulty assessment on the forum.

The difficulty was evaluated based on the average level of the players who did the quest. However, many players still overestimated their level and challenged the quests that had above-average difficulty, only to fail.

No wonder Magister Lyorick had said that the quest was a little difficult. This should be a quest with an average difficulty of around level 15.

He looked at the notification and saw that Kill All had sent a message saying that the Guild Leader had brought him to level up. He did not know if it was true or not.

The fellow probably knew that he had caused trouble, so he was hiding.

Wu Yan was happy to kill monsters alone. Apart from saving money, Kill All could not help much in other aspects.

Ine

He went to the pharmacy and bought some potions. The quality of the potions in this pharmacy was much better than those sold in the Beginners’ Village.

The potions he bought the most were Life Potions.

The number of bag slots in this game was quite reasonable.

The bag was divided into the quest items bag, material items bag, weapons bag, defensive equipment bag, ordinary items bag, and so on.

Each bag was several pages long. Items could be taken out and stored through the interface at any time.

Only when he stored the items could Wu Yan clearly feel that this was a virtual game world.

This was because he could see the items disappear and appear.

The monsters with increasing intelligence and the NPCs who were flexible in dealing with people would tend to make him think that he had transmigrated to an extra-dimensional game world.

Especially now that he had learned how to stay online for a long time, the time he spent here was getting longer and longer.

Wu Yan looked at his energy and it was almost 100% recovered. He could continue his work outside the city for another day. After accepting the quest, Wu Yan quickly bade farewell to Magister Lyorick.

He jumped down from the second floor, leaving the old Lyorick dumbfounded.

This was the first time he had seen Wu Yan use Bounce.

How could a Mage have such a Bounce?

Magister Lyorick fell into deep thought. Only a Mage would know the various current inconveniences of being restricted.

Lyorick knew some things about the past. He also knew that the most important Mage skill, Wings, had been lost.

This lost skill would restrict a Mage’s growth in the future.

Lyorick looked at Wu Yan, who was disappearing far away. He hoped that this young Mage would bring him more surprises.

He was very eager to give away the Exploding Star skill book in his hands.

Wu Yan could feel the help of the Bounce. When he jumped, he noticed that many signs were placed on the second floor and above.

Moreover, there were a little more items today than yesterday. This was probably to prepare for the upcoming update.

If that were the case, the update of this game’s version might be a seamless update. There was no need for maintenance of the server, and the players need not log out either.

The update would probably be completed before the players knew it.

Wu Yan went through several teleportation portals before he arrived at the location of the quest as designated.

The small map in his game interface only showed him the places he had been to. The complete map interface would only be displayed after he had explored the entire map.

EXP was rewarded for exploring the map.

The harder the map was to find, the higher the EXP reward would be.

There were players who tried to level up by exploring the map, but this method only lasted for a few hours before it was announced as a failure.

When they went to some uninhabited places, they died unknowingly.

They received notifications along the lines of (You have received damage from ??? and were killed by ???].

Therefore, after a small number of players tried it out, they declared that it was impossible.

On the small map, there was only a cursor indicating the distance, and there was no indication of the terrain,

Therefore, when some of the quest items were on different floors from where the NPCs were, it would be difficult to find them.

However, after the update, the issue should be resolved. Wu Yan had already seen some rumors about this on the forum.

Wait a minute!

When Wu Yan arrived at his destination, he didn’t encounter a single monster!

He repeatedly confirmed the location of the cursor displayed on the interface.

That’s right! He was standing right in the center of the cursor’s location.
