[Facing your threat, the four of them fume with rage, their hearts filled with ferocity. They exchange glances and suddenly charge at you in an attempt to snatch the Shadow Crystal from your hands. You choose...]
[You choose to fight...]
These brats really dared to lay hands on me.
But they were mistaken to think that this is a Duel Field. He was heavily restricted on the Duel Field; not able to use his skin, Black Magic, or equipment. Now, he was free from such restrictions.
This is an Unrestricted Freestyle Fighting Arena, and it was late at night to boot. Changing his skin, donning his equipment, and using Black Magic, what could these kids possibly do to fight against him?
[...You unleashed your full firepower, and the four quickly admit defeat, beaten black and blue.]
[All four of them look at you in disbelief, their faces filled with despair.]
[The naive kids full of fantasy have only just uncovered your true power, and they realize that they were not on the same level as you. The violent and brutal Mountain Ghost they feared turned out to be merciful on the Duel Field.]
[The four of them gave up their struggle. Damian Jones, begging you not to reveal the contents of the crystal, offering to fulfil some of your demands.]
This was exactly what Mu You had been waiting for.
From what he knew about this Damian Jones, the Jones family was also one of the well-known aristocratic families in the Imperial Capital, they were not any less prestigious than Cola’s ’Chris Family’.
Given their status, they surely could help him secure a recommendation letter, could they not?
[You convey your request to Damian.]
[Upon hearing your request, Damian was both surprised and conflicted. His family could write the recommendation letter, but such opportunities were rare and precious. To give one to a stranger would undoubtedly result in criticism and perhaps even punishment...]
[However, given the evidence you held, Damian had no option but to refuse and, after some hesitation, he agreed to your demands.]
The new text prompt brought Mu You great relief as his major problem got resolved smoothly.
And since they helped solve his problem, Mu You wouldn’t bully them too much. He decided to give them a sweet date.
Now, all the first-grade kids seemed hell-bent on defeating him once, to claim a hard-won prize, whoever can beat him will earn instant fame and dominate the field.
It was perfect for him as he needed someone to help him convert the over two hundred badges he held. Since this golden goose was so adamant, he might as well relent once.
[You inform Damian that when you two meet in the Duel Field tomorrow, you will surrender and gift him a victory. However, he will have to transform the victories you presently held into a corresponding lifespan and return it to you.]
[Damian looked at you in disbelief but quickly agreed to your demand! As long as he could interrupt your winning streak, he could be the idol of all the first-year newbies, and even stand a chance in contesting for this year’s Red Rose Star!]
[You and Damian reach an agreement, both being satisfied with each other’s conditions, and shake hands harmoniously...]
Having resolved the challenging task of procuring a recommendation from the elite, the matter of advancing his grade was now within reach.
Next, Mu You made a swift trip to Jing Moniang, before returning to the Academy to click on the ’Club Activities Room’. He located the three clubs he had picked out the previous day and submitted a membership application each.
With no one in the club at night, his application was not processed immediately. After dealing with some other matters, Mu You logged out to rest.
Upon waking up early the following morning, the first thing he did was to check on the Synthesis Furnace in the corner of his space.
He was a bit unlucky the previous day. He had compounded four rounds of Evolution Potions, but only one was of Legendary grade, while the other three were all Epics. So right before bedtime, he had initiated another round of Rare Potion compounding.
When he opened the blind box now, he was relieved to find a dazzling golden potion laying quietly in the Synthesis Furnace!
All five Legendary Potions collected, without wasting time, Mu You instantly consumed all, breaking past the level 15 evolution bottleneck.
His accumulated experience at level 14, along with the two Experience Books given by the City Lord these two days, now made his current experience and Attributes: Level 15 (Evolved) (16210/40960), Attributes: Strength 24, Agility 46, Intelligence 68, Constitution 33, Free Attribute Points: 5.
Without rushing to allocate the five Attribute Points, Mu You decided to wait. Since the four Temples and the Knowledge Ancient Tree would cause significant shifts in his attributes, he decided to assign the points once everything was stable.
After leveling up, Mu You logged into the game and checked the status of Dawn City.
Overnight, the material reserves were still rapidly increasing, bolstered by the doubled production capacity provided by the doubled population. Plus, with the newly established Barbarian Temple, the strength of the city’s residents was also given a boost.
Based on the current gathering speed, they should be able to pool together the materials to upgrade to LV2 by tomorrow at dawn!
Mu You nodded in satisfaction, examined other buildings, and finally spotted a request at the ’Teleportation Array’.
He opened it to find a teleportation connection request sent from the neighbouring break of dawn City.
The Teleportation Array at the break of dawn City was completed only half an hour ago, and its City Lord Solomon immediately sent a request to connect it to Dawn City’s Teleportation Array.
This was a no-brainer for Mu You; he accepted without hesitation.
[The Teleportation Arrays of Dawn City and the break of Dawn City are successfully connected. The residents of both cities can now teleport between these cities at will...]
