"However, if you must rely on the essence of your race to improve your potential and strength, there are safe ways."
Anderno stretched his latissimus dorsi forward, smiled at Yang Yu, and moved his pectoralis major left and right, his eyes full of expectation.
"The Dragon God Council Country in the center of the continent holds a conference every ten years. All young people under the age of 30 can participate. The top three contestants will be blessed by the dragon. Among the many rewards, one is the essence of the dragon race.
The dragon will bestow appropriate racial essences on each player based on their ranking in the competition and the limit that the players can bear.
The most recent session will be in August two years from now, and anyone can go as long as they can get a letter of recommendation.
I believe that Mr. Yang Yu will be able to rely on his own strength to obtain an invitation letter, shine at the Dragon God Conference in two years, win a place, and rise step by step."
The happiest thing for Anderno is to see the young generation slowly rising. He has a hunch that if the young man in front of him can win a place in the Dragon God Conference, he will definitely create a new legend in the future.
Yang Yu had no idea of Andernos's thoughts, he just started to ponder them in his mind.
Leaving aside the Dragon God Conference two years later, he could only be considered barely outstanding right now. According to the general plot, those who participated in the Dragon God Conference must be the best of the younger generation on this continent. God knows what their average level is.
If you want to find out, you have to look for information about previous winners. The Dragon God Conference is so big that there must be gossip.
After finding out, the next step is to work hard to improve, at least to their level. Otherwise, with his weak attributes as a commoner, it would be easy for him to fall behind.
"You can try, but the chances are slim. Is there any other way to obtain the essence of the race?"
Anderno shook his head. "This is the only formal and open channel. If you really want to rely on the essence of your race to improve yourself in a short period of time, I recommend you go to the Library of All Things in the center of our three human countries. As long as you become a member there, you can freely browse the intelligence they have collected from all over the world.
I think there must be a lot of information about other races. As long as you can become true friends with those races, they will surely share some of their racial essence with you.
In addition, the library contains what is said to be the most comprehensive skill atlas in the world, as well as the ways to learn them. Perhaps the skill [Taunt] that you asked about before is also included in it."
This is great and exciting news.
With the skill album, Yang Yu can allocate his skill points more carefully and only learn skills that are cost-effective or have special mechanisms.
For example, a passive skill that deals 8% of the maximum health as real damage every three hits, an active skill that relies on its own defense to cause damage, an abnormal state where the opponent loses more health the longer the battle lasts, or a BUFF that can greatly improve attributes.
After thanking Androno, Yang Yu continued to ask about the white hibiscus disease. Androno said he knew very little about it. It was no wonder, after all, he spent most of his time in the VIP room of the Adventurer's Guild exercising his muscles.
Just when Yang Yu wanted to ask other adventurers, an old man with gray hair and a long beard floated over. He used magic to hang in the air, light and hunched, looking like a sunny doll.
"Good morning, Androno." The old man greeted lazily.
"Good morning." Androno replied simply.
Yang Yu knew this old man. To be more precise, he knew the old man's identity through the panel. He was Terra, LV69, the magician mentor of the Adventurer's Guild. He had very high attributes and was a hidden strongman in this guild.
The old man chatted with Anderno about some family matters, then his eyes fell on Yang Yu and he looked at him with interest.
"Are you Yang Yu? I've heard a lot about you. You are really a promising young man. How about learning magic from me?"
"Learning magic requires talent, and I don't have that talent."
"Don't be modest, you are a rare talent."
"That doesn't prove that I have a talent for magic."
All his attribute points were focused on acceleration and endurance. Now he changed his profession and was moving at high speed while chanting a fireball spell with explosive power, throwing it at other people's faces like a sandbag. The scene was so beautiful that Yang Yu couldn't even imagine it.
Moreover, I have already used my skill points to choose several warrior skills, and it is too late to choose magician skills now.
"Haha, I'm just kidding. You're a big shot in the Adventurer's Guild now, and I just came here to get to know you. Also, I have a high-paying mission here, and I want some reliable adventurers to do it. I wonder if you're interested?"
"Not interested in."
Yang Yu refused outright, and Terra almost fell to the ground.
Shouldn't you ask what kind of task it is before making a decision? Why did you refuse without saying anything
"Well - don't be so quick to refuse. Let's find a place to talk first."
Yang Yu didn't want to refuse, but now he had to prioritize improving his strength and resolving Bai Jin's illness, and other tasks had to be put on hold.
Just as Yang Yu was about to refuse again, Terra's voice sounded in his mind.
"If you take this mission, you can also get what you want, which is the essence of the race. How about it, do you want to talk?"
This was a magical message. Yang Yu narrowed his eyes and looked at Terra. This old magician might be a key NPC who was specifically responsible for guiding people to find the essence of the race.
"Okay, let's talk then."
Nodding in agreement, Yang Yu followed Terra into the VIP room of the magician instructor. The room was simply decorated with a table and two chairs. The rest of the room was empty, with magic scrolls placed on it.
Floating to the chair and sitting down, Terra used magic to pour a cup of tea for Yang Yu, invited Yang Yu to sit opposite him, and continued to communicate with him using telepathy.
"This is a secret mission, so I'm sorry I can't tell you about it. Also, whether you accept this mission or not, I hope you can keep it a secret."
Yang Yu nodded.
Terra smiled and said, "I'll make it short. I hope you can infiltrate the Yinlan Chamber of Commerce and help us investigate."
Yang Yu casually picked up the tea and said, "The main content of the investigation."
"In recent years, the Yinlan Chamber of Commerce has developed rapidly, accounting for more than 40% of our country's business, and has been involved in all aspects of medicine, ships, and carriages. However, this development is not based on their own strength, but on some despicable means. This mission commission is to investigate these despicable means and obtain substantial evidence."
After saying that, a new task popped up on Yang Yu’s system panel.
[Mission: The Silver Orchid Chamber of Commerce is the largest and most powerful chamber of commerce in Terun Country, with trade covering the east, west, south and north. However, this rise has brought with it a variety of unspeakable dark costs, which have been noticed by the Giant Umbrella Chamber of Commerce. In order to regain the market, they decided to grab the Silver Orchid Chamber of Commerce's fox tail.
Mission requirements: Complete the infiltration and obtain documents showing that the Yinlan Chamber of Commerce is colluding with an armed organization or a country, or information on dark research.
Mission Reward: Depending on the amount of evidence you obtain, you may receive the following rewards (1~3 draws, 5000~100000 gold coins, skill scrolls, 1000~10000 experience points, Giant Umbrella Chamber of Commerce discount coupons, Giant Umbrella Chamber of Commerce favorability +50)]
