Chapter 65

[Congratulations! You have accumulated enough experience. You have leveled up to level 20!]

[You have received 5 free attribute points!]

After staying on the rocky plateau for over two hours, Ling Yi had finally reached level 20.

He had collected all the skill materials he had obtained from killing the Stone Golems and Rock Elementals. Now, his gold coins were close to two million again!

With less than 10 minutes left from his time to descend, he chose that moment to analyze his progress. So, he crossed his arms and sat cross-legged on the big rock.

'For long-range, large-scale attacks, I have [Starfall] to back me up. For close combat, I have the [Elemental Spirit Blade]. And I also have [Ice Emperor Summoned] skills whenever I need extra help. The things that I'm still lacking….'

'I still need a displacement skill, a perception skill, and a healing skill.'

What's more, the Beast King in District 87 could fly. If he wanted to defeat it, he would at least need to have a flying skill as well.

It also could be helpful for him if he has some defensive skills.

Although he already had an excellent defensive skill like the [Earth shield], it was still a support skill, which was not reliable.

Who knows what might happen in the future? Maybe his support friend decided to stop sharing this skill and look for another person that has more advantageous to work with.

Moreover, he was leveling up so quickly that his helper, "GloriousMoon", would not be able to keep up with him. He would have to change to another helper sooner or later.

The [Earth shield] could only exist for a while and could not accompany him forever.

As he thought about this, he opened the forum and typed in keywords like "the best flying skill" and "the best defense skill".

However, he found that everyone was very divided in their opinions. Some people thought that [Airborne Steps] was the best flying skill, while some thought that it was [Skywalker], and others believed that it was [Illusory Wings] was the best. Others mentioned [Crossing Clouds] was the best of them all…

And everyone had valid reasons to back up their preference.

It was the same for the other types of skills. There were no skills that were publicly acknowledged as number one.

'I don't need to worry about defense and healing, but flying skill is a must.'

He was at level 20 now.

And his attributes—

Strength 3, mana 100, agility 68, constitution 263, endurance 3.

His level 20 Ice Queen's attributes were all around 300 points, which means he can use his [Attribute Duplication] to add another 300 points to one of his attributes at any time.

With such combat power, it wouldn't be difficult for the two of them to kill the bosses of the fourth and fifth stages.

In other words, he could already fight his way to the Beast King's gate at any time!

Maybe after clearing the fourth or fifth stages tomorrow, he would be able to fight the Beast King the day after that.

And since he's already level 20, it wouldn't be too far-fetched to say that he would probably do the fourth and fifth stages in one go.

But that would also mean he should get a flying ability, fast!

Most Beast Kings could fly, so it would be a useful skill to have.

Unfortunately, as Ling Yi continued his research, he still couldn't find a flying skill that met his expectations.

"I'll continue looking once I'm at home."

…

When he arrived in the Main World, he first played the daily roulette draw as usual.

[Congratulations! You have received a reward from the daily wheel: System Prompt x1]

"Huh?" Ling Yi raised his eyebrows, and a hint of surprise appeared in his dark eyes. "It's a different reward from before."

The warm yellow lamp at the head of the bed illuminated his bedroom.

The street outside the window was dark.

He sat on the edge of the bed and opened his rucksack to check the reward he had just received.

[System Prompt (D)]: A prompt can be obtained by using it in a particular scene.

"Huh??" Ling Yi was at a loss when he saw the effect.

'What was a special scenario?'

'The Black Sky? A Secret Realm? Or is it something else?'

"But I only got one hint? This thing is a little useless."

He grabbed the paper in disappointment and swung it back and forth until he caught sight of its mutation potential. It was high. That quickly wiped the frown off his face.

Ling Yi still couldn't help but sigh, "Let's see what it will be,"

[Are you sure you want to mutate the System Prompt? (33 mutation points required)]

"I'm sure,"

A few seconds later, Ling Yi opened it again.

[System Prompt (D)]: After using it, you will receive a prompt about the target you want. It can be used three times a week.

It wasn't a significant change, but the effect was as different as heaven and earth.

"Receive any hints from the target?"

At first glance, it seemed quite powerful, but without actually trying it, he really couldn't say how effective it was.

After thinking for a moment, Ling Yi decided to use it to test his flying skills.

He took it out of his rucksack.

It was a light blue talisman with the character "示", which can be translated as "notify", written on it. It was about 15 cm long and 5 cm wide.

It was neither big nor small and felt rough to the touch.

The night wind blew in from the window, making people feel cold in the quiet night.

Ling Yi walked to the window and closed it. Then, he turned back to the bed, saying, "I want to know the most suitable flying skill for me."

Then he waited quietly.

1 second.

2 seconds.

At the third second, two words made of fire appeared in front of him.

[Aeolus' Call]

These words only existed for a second before they quickly vanished.

If he didn't pay attention, he would've thought he had imagined the whole thing.

"The [Aeolus' Call]? Like the Greek God of wind, Aeolus?" He muttered to himself. Then he opened his inventory and looked at one of the skills he kept in his storage.

Through the [Eyes of Truth], he saw the words again under the skill.

(Howling wind + Great storm → Aeolus' Call)

This was the synthesis formula for the 6-star special skill, [Howling Wind].

By combining it with the [Great Storm], he could create the skill he was hinted at.

At first, Ling Yi didn't care about this, but now that the system prompted him, his mind started to work quickly.

'[Howling Wind] is a skill that can control the wind. I don't know what the effect of the [Great Storm] has, but the [Aeolus' Call] that I'll combine will more likely be a skill that can control the wind.'

'This ability is more than just flying!'

Not only could it fly, but it could also control the wind.

Perhaps it could even help to increase his speed.

Such a skill indeed tempted Ling Yi.

'If this skill still has a high mutation potential…'

"As expected of a combination of a boss' special skill. It can't be underestimated."

Now that he had decided to cooperate with the [call of the wind god], the whereabouts of the other skill, [Great Storm], was very important.

As far as he knew, this skill was a unique skill of the level 30 secret land boss, the Wind God Butterfly.

It was the only Boss monster that would drop this skill.

And since it's a secret dungeon boss, it would only appear in secret dungeons.

Ling Yi couldn't help but frown when he thought about this.

'A secret realm… Looks like I'll have to go on a long journey after dawn.'

He shook his head and didn't think much about it.

He rolled over to the bed and began to rest.

…

On the fourth of June, a typical Tuesday morning, the forum exploded again with the news about the"Mysterious newcomer of District 66″.
