Chapter 145: Chapter 145: LV80 Dungeon “Beast Tide

Before entering the Dragon Academy, Zi Liyuan was not at all familiar with the Third Order transfer tasks.

In high school, the curriculum covered only Second Order and lower content; after all, it was extremely rare for students to reach the pinnacle of Second Order by the college entrance exams, and schools naturally would not offer courses on this.

There were many books on the market, but very few were truly detailed.

At this moment, getting such crucial information from Wang Fu cooled down Zi Liyuan’s initially inflated confidence significantly.

Fortunately, being cautious, he had not rushed into undertaking a Third Order transfer task on impulse, which could have led to some mishap.

Thus, Zi Liyuan immediately began to humbly ask for guidance on what preparations were needed for the Third Order transfer task and what to be cautious about.

Seeing Zi Liyuan’s prudent, steady and unarrogant attitude pleased Wang Fu even more, so he told him everything he knew, as well as his personal experiences, without holding back.

The conversation lasted for over two hours, and reluctantly came to a stop when both still had more to say.

“Li Yuan, I truly feel a connection with you. This Skill Book is a gift from Uncle Wang as a token of our first meeting,” he said.

After two hours of conversation, their relationship had further developed. Wang Fu opened the trading interface and placed a Skill Book he had obtained the night before through his connections.

Puppet Demonic Energy Barrier: Passive skill—uses Demonic Energy to condense a transparent protective shield equal to 300% of the puppet’s total life value. After the shield shatters, it enters a 10-minute cooldown period, after which it will automatically reform.

Seeing the Skill Book in the trade column, Zi Liyuan fell silent for a moment.

It was a Skill Book that could compensate for Lao Tie’s lack of health, surely one of the things Zi Liyuan needed most at the moment!

Moreover, the thoughtfulness of the gift showed that the other party had specifically prepared it, and it made Zi Liyuan think that Wang Fu must have seen the detailed situation in yesterday’s instance.

“Thank you for the generous gift, Uncle Wang. I accept it with thanks,” Li Yuan said.

After expressing his sincere thanks, Zi Liyuan accepted the trade. He noted this favor in his mind.

“No need to be polite. Come and visit more often in the future. It would be good for you to get to know my laddie. It’s a pity, though, he seems not spirited enough to pass the Dragon Academy’s assessment,” Wang Fu sighed slightly, feeling despondent about his son’s lack of ambition.

“Oh, is Uncle Wang’s son also a candidate this year? May I ask what profession he pursues?” Zi Liyuan asked, thinking of a way to return the favor, though he still needed to gather some information first.

“Yes, my boy is also a candidate this year, a hidden profession Beast Tamer, currently at LV35. His strength is just average, mainly because he couldn’t contract high-quality monsters,” Wang Fu continued.

“High-quality monsters are extremely rare drops from instances, and the beast younglings available on the market are mostly from adventurers in the wild; they are generally of ordinary quality, with even the rare-quality young beasts being scarce. I’ve managed to get two rare-quality young beasts for him through connections, but relying on two rare-quality monsters to pass the Dragon Academy’s assessment is unrealistic.”

As Wang Fu spoke without much thought, Zi Liyuan listened with interest. For him, were rare drops from instances an issue?

Maybe he should introduce himself to Lady Luck, who he had more luck with?

“Uncle Wang, if you can trust me, just let Wang Fu focus on leveling up these days. He must reach at least LV40. Leave the rest to me. I guarantee he’ll pass the Dragon Academy’s assessment and earn admission,” Zi Liyuan said confidently.

A Beast Tamer? Contracting a few high-quality monsters would definitely raise his strength. If it wasn’t enough to ensure safety, he could involve Shen Yurou and have her craft two sets of exoskeleton Mechas, fully stocked with ammunition. He didn’t believe they wouldn’t pass the assessment!

“Really?” At that moment, Wang Fu was somewhat startled.

Helping someone else pass the Dragon Academy’s assessment was not something to be taken lightly; it was usually only within the reach of scions from Ancient Noble Families or the Four Great Imperial Houses, all with vast resources and access to various super equipment, which made passing the assessments much easier.

“I wouldn’t say I’m 100 percent certain, but I’m 90 percent sure. Uncle Wang, have him come to the Copy House tomorrow, and I’ll talk to him.”

Patting his chest, he used this opportunity to repay the favor of the Skill Book, and by doing so, he got in line with the official channel of the Copy House, and also managed to get Shen Yurou into the official’s field of vision.

By then, backed by Dragon Academy, the officials, and the military, they really wouldn’t need to worry about other powers causing them trouble.

“Good, Uncle Wang trusts you. I’ll send the brat over tomorrow, and if this works out, Uncle Wang will surely reward you handsomely!”

“Haha, no need for that, Uncle Wang, we’re just helping each other out.”

After a brief talk, Wang Fu excused himself first, with plenty of official business at the Copy House already delaying him.

Zi Liyuan, on the other hand, turned on the meeting room’s search device and began to check the internal welfare copies available to officials.

Same conditions as before: a Third Order LV80 copy, high experience value, high monster count, and click to search.

This time, the number of copies that appeared became four.

Solo copy: “Battle of Survival”, “Human Butcher” (Internal copy for officials)

Team copy: “Orc Invasion”, “Rampage of Exotic Beasts” (Internal copy for officials)

Zi Liyuan directly looked at the introductions for “Human Butcher” and “Rampage of Exotic Beasts”.

The former is a slaughtering copy, like an arena. You must kill all the beings that spawn in the arena. The copy ends either when you exit voluntarily or get killed. Moreover, the difficulty levels of the copy are only Rare, Hero, and Lord.

The latter is a team copy for 1~1000 people, situated on a plain. You face exotic beasts surging from all directions. The longer you hold out, the more rewards you get from the copy, with difficulty levels ranging from Elite to Lord.

Originally, Zi Liyuan intended to enter the “Human Butcher” copy first, but a note at the end of the “Rampage of Exotic Beasts” made him change his mind.

There’s a very small chance of dropping an Exotic Beast Egg!

Isn’t that convenient?

It’s exactly what I was thinking of. Why hesitate at all?

This one it is!

He headed to the ticket window, and when the ticket clerk, a young lady, noticed Zi Liyuan’s change of status to a prospective public servant of the Copy House, she became even more enthusiastic.

Buying a ticket, with a 20 percent discount, he took the staff passage straight to the copy space.

Privileges sure feel great!
