Task: Kill at Will. Killing any creature can be submitted.
Looking at the panel that suddenly appeared before his eyes, Du You didn't find it strange. They'd made reference to this in the Law Formalization Ceremony Guide.
While it's true that everything that happens in the process of Law Formalization is inexpressible, there are still people who have managed to circumvent this rule, recording some commonplace known things and eventually incorporating them into the Law Formalization Ceremony Guide.
This item could be said to be invaluable, the crystallization of the efforts of previous generations.
"According to the book, what is usually encountered in Law Formalization are several types including collection, capture, touch, killing, fulfilling certain conditions, etc., and this time it should be the most common type – killing."
Reflecting on what he learned from the Law Formalization Ceremony Guide, Du You had a general understanding of this task.
In this kind of killing mission, the objective is to kill the creatures here, regardless of the type, even a worm will do.
However, the quality of the creature killed determines the level of appraisal. If you kill a worm and submit the mission, the result will certainly be a failure. If you kill an ordinary animal without strong combat capabilities, then you are basically classified as Semi-Awakened.
Only those who kill creatures of a certain strength are classified as the Awakeners. This is why the number of Awakeners is so small, but there are so many Semi-Awakened individuals.
Many who fail to meet requirements will opt for lesser alternatives.
Moreover, the Law Formalization Ceremony Guide recommends killing the strongest target possible. Although it doesn't exactly explain the benefits of killing higher-level creatures, this condition is indeed prominently marked, thus it must carry significant meaning.
So now, I should search for a powerful creature first.
"Judging from the environment here, I should be dealing with animal type creatures this time. The terrain here is a vast canyon with a lot of small insects, wild chickens, rabbits, and the like. I wonder if there are any predators."
Honestly, Du You was somewhat nervous. He didn't know if his strength could handle predators. Since he had only been training for two days, he hadn't even had any combat experience with other people, let alone hunting. Perhaps the old Du You had done this before, but those memories had disappeared, so it was impossible for him not to worry.
I have no confidence at all. I can only move forward. Fortunately, I have a whole day here.
As for killing just any creature, Du You would never do such a thing. Unless there was absolutely no choice, he would not consider that option. To achieve higher accomplishments in the future, he must earn the best grades.
"Is my talent in the Summoning Class? So, I'll probably become a Summoner in the future."
As he walked, Du You recalled the notations in the Law Formalization Ceremony Guide. Since most of the creatures here seemed to be animals, it was likely that he was being tested in summoning.
Each person has different talents. When Law Formalization begins, they are divided into different Derived Worlds based on their talents to complete tasks in different worlds.
Each world has a different outcome for the Law Formalization.
My current experience, for example, leans towards the Summoner type. This means it will be easier for me to learn summoning skills in the future, with less consumption and better effects.
It's rumoured that summoners have stronger summoning abilities than other Professionals.
However, this does not mean that I can't learn skills of other types. Even a mage can learn the skills of a warrior, but exactly what effect it would have, I don't know.
Learning skills that don't align with your type increases the consumption at least twofold, and the power exerted is only up to 80%, so it's a loss in the long run. The less compatible the skill is with oneself, the greater the consumption and the worse the effect.
So, generally, unless under special circumstances, nobody will learn skills different from their own innate talent.
"Although it's not ideal, it's not bad either. The Summoning Class is said to be one of the most powerful and most adaptable Professions in the beginning stages." Du You continued to walk and recall.
He drew his long sword, watching his surroundings warily. His sword was only made of ordinary refined steel, which is how he was able to bring it into the Derived World. If it were an alloy weapon, he wouldn't have been able to bring it in. The Derived World is quite resistant to items that are not of its own world. This has been clearly noted in the Law Formalization Ceremony Guide.
"Come out so I can see you. At least give me a wolf or something."
While Du You was muttering to himself and searching along the Grand Canyon, suddenly the grass shook. Almost instinctively, Du You thrust his sword forward. It was only after he attacked that he realized what had happened.
"Haha, the body's instinct is faster than thinking. I indeed have the talent of a Swordsman."
Pushing aside the grass, Du You saw his long sword had pierced a rabbit. He'd gotten a bit too excited.
Task: Killing one rabbit. Do you want to submit the task?
The panel automatically popped up, and Du You quickly denied it in his mind. The task submission window immediately disappeared.
Task: You've already completed a kill. You can submit the task at any time.
"This is really user-friendly." Du You shook his head, closed the panel in his mind, and it disappeared. After his fumbling around, his tense mood had finally relaxed a lot.
"There are so many rabbits here, there must be something that feeds on them. Killing a rabbit would probably only make me a Semi-Professional. It would be great if I could kill something impressive." Du You mused to himself as he walked.
A hawk soared swiftly through the sky above him, making Du You quite envious. It was a top predator in nature. If he could kill it, it would be great. The pity was that he practiced swordsmanship, not archery.
"What a pity. If it came down to my level, I really would...no way."
Du You's eyes widened. The hawk that had been in front of him suddenly flew low over his head. However, a shadow suddenly shot out from the ground, and the hawk vanished in mid-air.
This was an insta-kill, which signified that there was a powerful creature up ahead.
"From what I can tell, this is probably not a natural creature as I understand it to be. Encountering such a creature in the Derived World, an ordinary person like myself would typically stand no chance."
The book warns that in such a situation, one must retreat. Although death in this world doesn't mean true death, it can still leave serious aftereffects. However, he was not willing to leave without taking a look.
"Just one look, one look if I truly can't handle it, I'll retreat." Du You took a deep breath, relaxed his pace, and slowly moved forward. Approaching cautiously from a small hill up ahead, finally, the massive creature appeared before his eyes.
