Chapter 22

He had already submitted the 'Application to Cancel Li Yao's A-tier Subsidy'.

If it was by his own strength,

then it was all over!

Having obtained the exit permit, Li Yao got into the car Li Yang had driven and left the place.

Along the way, Li Yang's 'repeated interrogation' was naturally unavoidable.

Li Yao had to bring out the excuse he had thought of long ago.

Awakening a talent.

Every practitioner has a chance to obtain a talent when changing classes.

It's just that the probability is about the same as winning a few small targets in the lottery.

Saying it's one in ten million is no exaggeration!

And even if one awakens a talent, it might not necessarily match one's class.

For example, a Warrior class awakening Elemental Affinity, or a Support class awakening Strength Berserk.

So much so that,

upon hearing that Li Yao had awakened a talent that could strengthen summoned beasts through a certain method,

even Li Yang, who had seen many storms and waves, couldn't help but roar at the sky, thanking the heavens and his ancestors!

After a burst of excitement, Li Yang pondered for a while and said with a serious expression:

"Regarding your talent, you can tell others you've awakened one, but it's best not to tell others the details of the talent."

"It's fine to show appropriate aptitude, but if you're much stronger than others, it will make people jealous."

"Our human race is not monolithic internally."

"You are too weak right now; it's inevitable that some people with ulterior motives will suppress you. As your father, I might be able to shield you in this part of Jiangzhou, but once you leave Jiangzhou, I'm just a small fry."

Li Yao nodded thoughtfully.

Li Yang's meaning was the same as his own.

This was also the reason he only mentioned the 'Armament' talent.

Any one of the several major talents of the Cloud Top Chess Player would be an unprecedented improvement for a Summoner.

And whether anyone could awaken more than two talents, Li Yao didn't know yet.

Naturally, he wouldn't easily reveal his trump cards.

Half an hour later,

Li Yang dropped Li Yao off at the south side of Jiangzhou, gave him several instructions, and then drove away.

A tall city wall stood here, separating the human living area from the monster living area.

Beyond the city wall would be another world.

Compared to the monsters in the novice dungeon, the monsters here were much stronger.

Likewise, farming monsters here could yield more EXP, and various monster materials could be recovered.

If one was lucky, some monsters would even drop weapons and equipment.

These things could be used by oneself or sold for money to exchange for resources.

On both sides of the street at the city wall entrance, there were many shops.

Weapon shops, armor shops, accessory shops, daily necessity shops, potion shops—everything was available.

Among them, the most famous were the Adventurer Guild and the Star Network Exchange.

Both were established by the Dragon Nation's official authorities and were spread across cities large and small throughout the country.

The former issued tasks, and the latter was the largest trading platform.

Li Yao's "Void Mantis Summon" was purchased on the Star Network.

This was Li Yao's first time seeing the true face of the Star Network.

He couldn't help but be shocked by this building with such a strong sense of technology.

The outer lines of the building were smooth and sharp.

The whole body was made of high-hardness alloy material, shimmering with a deep blue luster in the sunlight, flowing as the angle changed.

It is said that this material can withstand the strongest blow of a level 40 monster.

If the city wall were to fall, this would also be the final refuge.

Li Yao found an empty spot and placed his hand on the instrument.

To step into the border, the Star Network Exchange and the Adventurer Guild were unavoidable.

【Starting identity authentication】

【Authentication successful, Dragon Nation practitioner Li Yao】

【Permission to use Star Network granted】

【Permission level: One】

The Star Network is only open to Dragon Nation practitioners.

Li Yao had permission to use it, but the permission was very low, and the resources he could purchase were extremely limited.

If he could get into one of the Four Great Martial Academies, his permission could be directly upgraded to level three.

This was also the reason why the Four Great Martial Academies were so attractive.

It was equivalent to changing one's class from the root!

And above level three, one had to make special contributions to the Dragon Nation to improve.

But these were all things for the future and had nothing to do with him for now.

Li Yao took a rough look at the items displayed in the exchange.

Equipment, materials, skills, and even unopened treasure chests were available.

But the price of each item was not cheap.

With Li Yao's current net worth, he couldn't even afford the cheapest Black Iron equipment.

Those Bronze and Silver grades had even less to do with him.

Li Yao's purpose in coming here was to record the value of some low-level materials and get an understanding of the prices.

Little Master, there is more to this chapter; please click the next page to continue reading, it gets even more exciting!

After recording the value of the products from monsters under level 20, Li Yao left the Star Network and walked toward the Adventurer Guild.

The monsters at the Jiangzhou border were concentrated between level 5 and level 20, belonging to an E-tier danger zone.

The number of related tasks was not large, mostly repetitive material collection tasks.

【Mass acquisition of Porcupine Barbs, unit price 400】

【Mass acquisition of Crescent Teeth, unit price 750】

【Mass acquisition of Large Beast Bones, price negotiable】

Most life-class practitioners needed a large amount of materials to improve their skill proficiency.

They would then list the processed useful items on the Star Network to gain profit.

Forming a cycle like this, life-class practitioners also had good development prospects.

"Hmm? This task seems interesting."

【Crusade against the level 12 Goblin Nest dungeon, obtain the dungeon leader drop, Goblin General's Heart】

【Note: The Goblin General only appears in dungeons of Master-tier difficulty or higher】

The reward for the task was 14 million Dragon Coins.

With such a price, it hadn't been completed yet, so it was clear that this task was very difficult.

The Goblin Nest was a relatively famous dungeon in Jiangzhou, and even Li Yao had heard of it.

A level 12 dungeon, the minimum entry level is 7, and the maximum is 17.

In Jiangzhou, practitioners who want to get into higher academies will all come to farm this dungeon in the end.

Li Yao couldn't get in yet, and he didn't plan to go in now either.

Dungeon difficulty can be divided into Normal, Hard, Master, Nightmare, and Purgatory.

How difficult Master-tier is, Li Yao didn't know.

However, Li Yao remembered that the Silver Wolf Guild established by his father became famous in Jiangzhou precisely because they conquered the Master-tier difficulty.

It shouldn't be simple.

Even if Li Yao wanted to go, he would wait until level 10, unlock the second summon slot, and have two summons before going to crusade.

As for what's above Master... ===== CHAPTER 24 =====
