Chapter 9 - Chapter 9: Task of the Wisdom Tree

[You visited the Wisdom Tree]

As Qin Muye approached, "Lord's Era" suddenly displayed a reminder that one could level up by visiting the Wisdom Tree. Qin Muye recalled that this could grant a level-up.

The Wisdom Tree opened its eyes with curiosity as Qin Muye approached. "A powerful monster, if not for the body being affected by magic, it would have been a second-order unit. What a pity."

Ignoring the reminder from "Lord's Era," Qin Muye directly asked, "Is there any way to save him?"

"Save him? A mage actually wants to save a monster. Quite intriguing," the Wisdom Tree's curiosity in its tone surpassed even its gaze at the Champion-level monster, as if encountering something extraordinary.

"This wise one, is there something confusing? He is loyal to me, and I must plan a future for him," Qin Muye calmly replied. He felt there was a way, with the luck boost from the four monsters. Perhaps it could solve the magic backlash on the Champion-level monster.

"Hahaha, you're the most interesting mage I've ever seen. There is, in fact, a way to save him. If he were not a Champion-level unit, there might be no way. However, since you managed to cultivate him into a Champion, he has the potential to become a hero. Just develop this potential, promote him to a hero, and he can overcome the magical backlash."

"The power of a Champion is beyond your imagination. I have a Warrior Class Transfer Certificate here. Just give it to him, and he can become a warrior. Due to the Champion's potential, he might become a rare class among warriors."

"But unfortunately, due to the rules, I cannot directly gift it to you. Do you understand? This bestowed lord."

These words surprised Qin Muye. He didn't expect the Wisdom Tree to know about "Lord's Era." However, he quickly focused and nodded, saying, "I understand. So, what orders do you have for me or what do you need? Just tell me."

Qin Muye stared directly at the Wisdom Tree, not at its face on the trunk but at the roots touching the ground.

As the saying goes, "An old person at home is like a treasure." He was thinking if he could dig up the Wisdom Tree and take it with him.

"Of course, to the north, there is an undead tomb. All you need to do is clear all the awakened undead there, and I will give you this Warrior Class Transfer Certificate."

[You received the Clearing Mission: Undead Tomb]

[Objective: Clear an undead tomb to the north]

[Reward: Warrior Class Transfer Certificate, 1000 experience points]

[Accept? Yes/No]

"How far is it to the north?" Qin Muye did not immediately accept the task but instead asked.

The Wisdom Tree seemed a bit uncomfortable under Qin Muye's gaze. Then it said, "About eleven kilometers, little mage. It's not very appropriate to stare at an old man's ankles like that."

"Oh, sorry, I have strabismus," Qin Muye casually made up an excuse, realizing that he had been staring too openly. So, he quickly stopped.

It was a bit strange to measure the distance in kilometers, and he hoped it was the kilometers from his previous life, not some strange unit.

"In that case, I'll go on a trip first. You'll wait for my good news, Wise One."

With that, Qin Muye left with the monsters.

"Master, can we really trust the Wisdom Tree?" the Champion-level monster asked a bit uncertainly.

Qin Muye knew what he was thinking and explained, "He may not be trustworthy, but 'Lord's Era' is."

Having accepted the task, he naturally knew the authenticity of the matter.

Actually, he was quite curious about what the consequences would be if the Wisdom Tree tricked him with the rewards.

From the Wisdom Tree's words, it seemed that the Magic Continent No. 9527 knew about the arrival of these lords and even referred to them as bestowed lords. More importantly, it seemed that the other party was bound by the rules of "Lord's Era" and could not directly give him things.

'However, I think the other party is more like testing than being curious!'

He felt that finding the Wisdom Tree was indeed fortunate, thanks to the luck given by the monsters. But if the reason for giving him a task and a class transfer certificate was to save a monster, he wasn't very convinced.

There's no such thing as a free lunch in this world.

'So, the only thing I can trust is my monsters. The Wisdom Tree can be dug up and squeezed for all its knowledge.'

Qin Muye knew that "Lord's Era" was not child's play. Although he had lived peacefully for the past three days, it was because he had not encountered any forces or other lords. Otherwise, how could there be a 7-day novice period and a 30-day adaptation period? This clearly indicated that this world was quite cruel.

'Everything will be revealed after the novice period, or maybe during the adaptation period.'

The novice period was based on their development, and the adaptation period was probably to make them adapt to the cruel world.

As for those who couldn't adapt, they would naturally die.

'And heroes, beings above the units, is this world really not modified by an invincible hero?' For a while, Qin Muye's mind was in chaos.

But soon he expelled these chaotic thoughts from his mind and continued to focus on studying the magic of the Magic Eye.

However, the research process was not smooth. He didn't have enough mage knowledge, so learning was quite difficult.

Even with talents and skills related to learning, self-study from scratch was still challenging.

On this journey, he also picked up a lot of resources, but it seemed that luck had run out, and he did not encounter any more treasure chests.

With the Champion-level monster clearing the way, they also killed many wild creatures.

But from level 2 to level 3, he needed 2000 experience points. That's probably 200 level 1 creatures, and even with the Champion-level monster, it wasn't that easy, especially since he had killed over a hundred before leveling up once.

They walked for about an hour and a half, covering eleven kilometers mainly due to killing creatures and collecting resources, which delayed their progress.

"This undead tomb is surprisingly straightforward." Qin Muye looked at the undead tomb with a wry smile. Normally, tombs should be underground, right? But this one was directly built on the surface, though it seemed to lead underground, and the number of undead looked quite substantial.

[Single-Entry Instance: Undead Tomb - Graveyard of 961 Skeletons (1st Tier Low-level)]

[1st Tier Common Units: 90%]

[1st Tier Elite Units: 10%]

[1% Chance of Appearance: Hero Unit/1st Tier Champion-level Unit]

[Enter the Instance? Yes/No]

"To think it's an instance, even this exists. Unbelievable." After encountering the undead tomb, Qin Muye was quite shocked. The fact that instances were even faithfully reproduced surprised him.
