Chapter 19: 19, Invitation to join Zhan Tianjian_l
Translator: 549690339
Walking back to Nolan Village, Su Yu pondered on how to accomplish the hidden mission and evade the Star-forged Dragon King’s attack.
The penalty for mission failure was far from a joke, having his account permanently deleted!
If the mission failed, Su Yu couldn’t accept that the effort he put in over the past three days, and the great start he had, would all go down the drain.
“I still haven’t figured out how to break the deadlock, but for the time being, I can learn the life-saving skills unique to the mage class,” Su Yu abruptly pondered.
During the early stages of the mage profession, there are three main life-saving skills-[invisibility Skill], [Flash Skill], and [Ice Barrier].
[Invisibility Skill] seemed useless against the Star-forged Dragon King, so Su Yu didn’t consider it for now;
Among the remaining two, the [Ice Barrier] can’t be learned in the novice village. It can only be learned in the main city after reaching level 20 through a related mission.
“It seems that for now, the only choice is to undertake the hidden mission for the [Flash Skill], yes, that’s the plan!”
Having decided on a course of action, Su Yu’s steps became much lighter, he hurriedly set out towards Nolan Village.
However, before embarking on the mission, he had to hand in the completed missions first.
The magic hut in the eastern part of the village.
Su Yu opened his backpack, throwing a fist-sized [Silver Snake Gall] onto the wooden table in front of him.
“Prism, I’m here to hand in the task.”
The old mage Prism had his back to Su Yu, fiddling with something in a crucible.
Hearing Su Yu’s voice, he reluctantly turned around: “Couldn’t you have waited a little longer before handing in the task? You’ve disrupted my train of thought… Oh, it’s you! How come you’re back so soon?”
The old mage’s unwillingness quickly morphed into a pleasing smile when he saw that it was Su Yu. “Looking to buy something? I recently got a new batch of items…”
“I’m here to hand in the task.” Su Yu interrupted him while pointing at the [Silver Snake Gall] sitting on the table.
“This is…” The old mage looked at the [Silver Snake Gall] which was twice the size of a normal Silver Serpent’s gallbladder, his eyes round with surprise: “This is the gallbladder of the Silver Snake leader! How did you manage to do it, my young friend?”
In his mind, he considered on how Su Yu could have enlisted a large number of adventurers to overpower the Silver Snake leader with sheer numbers.
The old mage couldn’t help sighing: Money is a wonderful thing!
“You don’t need to worry about the details, just give me the skill scroll quickly.” Su Yu urged.
“Alright then.” The old mage was a little disappointed.
Nevertheless, he swiftly retrieved a skill scroll with arcing electricity and a beautifully packaged envelope, and handed them to Su Yu.
“Ding! Congratulations on completing the rare hidden mission [ Join the Scholar’s Temple (modified) ]! You’ve been awarded: [Scholar’s Temple invitation] X1, Skill Scroll [Flash Chain (Excellent)] X1, Experience Points X500.”
[Scholar’s Temple Invitation]: With this letter, you can join the [Force: Scholar’s Temple] at any of its branches in the major cities.
[Flash Chain (Excellent)]: Throws a Lightning Bolt at the enemy, cause damage equal to 260% of magic strength. The Lightning Bolt then skips to nearby enemies, affecting a total of three targets. There is a 30% chance it will put the enemy in a state of paralysis for 1 second.
Cooling time 8 seconds, casting time 1.0 seconds, mana consumption 20 points.
Su Yu immediately learned the [Flash Chain] skill scroll and upgraded it to rare quality.
[Flash Chain (Rare)]: Throws a Lightning Bolt at the enemy, cause damage equal to 390% of magic strength. The Lightning Bolt then skips to nearby enemies, affecting a total of three targets. There is a 40% chance it will put the enemy in a state of paralysis for 1 second.
Cooling time 6 seconds, casting time 0.5 seconds, mana consumption 30 points.
[Flash Chain] can attack four targets simultaneously. It is a good AoE (Area of Effect) skill in the early stages.
After learning [Flash Chain], Su Yu’s leveling speed significantly increased, he no longer had to target one monster at a time.
The [Scholar’s Temple Invitation] could only be used after entering the main city, it had no use for now.
Su Yu put the invitation into his backpack and turned around to walk out. The old mage was somewhat reluctant: “Adventurer, make sure to visit often!”
“Alright.” Su Yu waved his hand and left the magic hut.
Exiting the magic hut, he stepped onto the bustling street.
Su Yu headed west to undertake the hidden mission for the [Flash Skill] skill scroll.
Just then, he saw five players walking in a line, headed directly towards him.
The intimidating power emanating from the five players made nearby players swerve to avoid them.
Su Yu looked at these five players, a cold light flashing in his eyes.
Because he could recognize the middle-aged warrior leading them, it was Zhan Tianjian!
Just a short while ago, members of the Zhan Tian Guild could be found in every corner of the 006 Novice Village.
On one hand, they were investigating who was impersonating them and collecting entrance fees in the village;
On the other hand, they were looking for Su Yu, seeking the high-end player, “Nemesis”, who had put up several precious items and skill scrolls for sale.
The Zhan Tian Guild, being large and powerful, already had some clues about the first investigation. They initially targeted the “Emperor Blood Slays the Sky Guild”.
As for the second matter, Zhan Tianjian had just received news that Nemesis had returned to the village and entered the magic hut. He immediately hurried there with his men.
Su Yu squinted, assessing the five-man team from the Zhan Tian Guild.
Zhan Tianjian, Qingli, Overlord Tiger, Hornet, Tom.
These five were core members of the Zhan Tian Guild.
Five traitors!
Su Yu managed to suppress his urge to launch a [Lightning Bolt] spell directly at Zhan Tianjian. He stood still, waiting for the other party to speak.
Zhan Tianjian appeared rather sincere.
When he was three meters away from Su Yu, he extended his hand: “Hello young man, I am the head of Zhan Tian Guild, Zhan Tianjian. You must be ‘Nemesis’, right? I have come here sincerely wanting to invite you to join our guild.”
Zhan Tianjian reached out his hand, wanting to shake hands with Su Yu.
But Su Yu did not extend his hand, he merely looked coldly at Zhan Tianjian:
“Oh? Are you worthy?”
Su Yu’s words immediately angered the four players behind Zhan Tianjian.
Overlord Tiger and Hornet were initially against their leader inviting Nemesis to join the guild, thinking that he was just an ordinary player who had gotten lucky. They believed that once everyone’s levels increased, he would becoming just like any other player.
Now that they saw Nemesis looking down on them, they immediately became furious:
“Hey, kid! You’re speaking nonsense without even bothering to know what kind of guild we are?”
“We’re inviting you to join the guild because we think highly of you. Do you consider yourself as some sort of delicacy?”
Qingli and Tom didn’t say a word, however, their faces were equally unhappy, clearly having a bad impression of Su Yu.
Zhan Tianjian was deep in thought, he didn’t show any displeasure. Instead, he proudly said: “In terms of whether we’re worthy or not, I think we definitely are.”
“Our Zhan Tian is the largest guild in ‘Magic Realm’ , more than half of the records for clearing top-tier dungeons are held by us!”
“Now, we are all switching to ‘Evolution’. It won’t be long before we become the number one guild in ‘Evolution!!”
“So, our guild is very suitable for high-end players like you. Do you want to consider it?”
Su Yu didn’t say a word, maintaining his disdainful expression.
After Zhan Tianjian finished speaking, Su Yu directly released the [Flash Chain], targeting Overlord Tiger on the far left..
