18: Chapter 18 Good Luck

"Alright, you get a 10% discount when purchasing items with a Junior Badge. The remaining 195,000 gold coins have been credited directly to your professional badge."

Su Xintian waved her hand, signaling her subordinates to bring over a Beginner Skill Manual, which she handed to Tang Mo.

As for equipment, Tang Mo didn't plan on buying any.

Low-level equipment was just for transition; there was absolutely no need to purchase it.

Even without equipment, Tang Mo's damage was enough to crush beasts of the same level, or even those twenty to thirty levels higher than him.

Besides, he still had a Paralysis Ring in his storage space.

Although it was only a Level 30 Bronze-grade equipment and provided no damage, its attributes were top-tier!

A 5% chance to paralyze the enemy might seem low, but Tang Mo's toxins dealt continuous damage; it was bound to trigger eventually.

As for potions, Tang Mo needed them even less.

With a God-tier passive ability, Tang Mo had no use for recovery potions at all.

After receiving the Beginner Skill Manual, Tang Mo rushed back home without stopping.

After wrapping the Skill Secret Tome with his mental power, it transformed into points of light and merged into Tang Mo's body.

[Obtained Rare-grade skill: Highly Toxic Vine]

[Highly Toxic Vine (Lv1): Summons toxic vines to bind enemies and deal poison damage. The number of vines and the damage dealt are related to the Spirit stat and skill level.]

"It's actually a Rare-grade skill!!"

Tang Mo was overjoyed.

One must know that while a Beginner Skill Manual has a chance to teach a Rare-grade skill, that probability is extremely low.

It's unlikely that even one person out of ten thousand would learn one.

To learn a Rare-grade skill from a Beginner Skill Manual, it could be said that Tang Mo had experienced a massive stroke of luck.

With a wave of Tang Mo's arm, two vines as thick as an arm, condensed from venom, instantly shot out.

The Highly Toxic Vines were covered in sharp thorns, looking so lifelike they seemed real.

Tang Mo manipulated the Highly Toxic Vines to try and open the refrigerator door, finding that they were as smooth to use as his own two arms.

"I still need to find a time to test their actual power."

Since the beasts in the wild around Jiangkou City had been almost completely wiped out, it would take at least three to five days for their numbers to recover.

But Tang Mo couldn't wait that long.

Although he had already reached Level 14 and likely no one among his peers could surpass him, his goal was Xiafu University.

This level simply wasn't enough.

Furthermore, as his level increased, the experience required to level up grew more and more, and the speed of leveling would become slower.

Relying solely on killing low-level beasts could not satisfy Tang Mo's requirements for leveling up quickly.

To level up fast, he had to hunt high-level beasts.

During the beast tide, Tang Mo had already noticed that he could currently hunt beasts up to around Level 40 at most.

Even then, he had to rely on stacking multiple layers of toxins to slowly wear them down.

Instant kills were no longer possible.

For every level a beast gains, the increase in its various attributes far exceeds that of a human Professional.

Therefore, hunting high-level beasts alone was very dangerous.

Now that Tang Mo had the Highly Toxic Vine, dealing with one or two Level 40 beasts was no problem.

If there were any more, he would have to run.

"The priority now is to find a leveling spot."

Tang Mo opened his computer and logged onto the Jiangkou City Professional Forum.

It published all sorts of the latest news regarding Jiangkou City.

At this time, the most discussed posts on the Jiangkou City forum were about the recent beast tide incident.

Tang Mo soon found an article related to this and suddenly had an epiphany.

"Right! Why didn't I think of that? If there are no beasts near Jiangkou City, I can just go to other provinces and cities; they aren't lacking any."

"Moreover, there are Teleportation Arrays set up between cities. I just need to pay a certain amount of gold coins."

Saying this, Tang Mo began searching online for suitable locations.

There was no need to consider the provinces and cities close to Jiangkou City; given the scale of this beast tide, they might also be affected.

Tang Mo directly selected Ning Tong City, which was over two hundred kilometers away from Jiangkou City.

Although Tang Mo wanted to set off immediately, considering that the city guards definitely wouldn't let him out at night, he had to postpone his plan.

Taking advantage of the time, Tang Mo wanted to go online to learn more about Xiafu University.

Upon searching, Tang Mo realized he truly knew very little about Xiafu University.

For example, in Xiafu University, Professionals were no longer divided into classes and colleges based on their class, but were instead unified based on their combat power value.

The higher the combat power of the class, the more training resources the students in that class would receive.

Among them, the War God Academy was recognized as the academy with the highest combat power in Xiafu University.

Countless students at Xiafu University were desperate to get in.

Not only that, Tang Mo also discovered that there was a mysterious Coiling Dragon Pagoda in Xiafu University.

Any student of Xiafu University could enter the pagoda to take on challenges. Upon completing a challenge, they would receive corresponding rewards; the higher the floor, the better the rewards.

Furthermore, Xiafu University implemented a point system.

In other words, if you wanted to obtain certain resources within the school, you had to exchange points for them.

It could be said that within Xiafu University, points were even more useful than gold coins.

Tang Mo looked through a lot of information about Xiafu University all at once, and only after thoroughly satisfying his curiosity did he lie down on his bed and fall asleep.

The next day, Tang Mo went directly to the Teleportation Array located at Times Square in Jiangkou City.

After stating his destination to the staff, Tang Mo paid the required 10 gold coins and stepped into the Teleportation Array.

Accompanied by a flash of intense light, Tang Mo felt his entire body become weightless, as if something was about to burst out of his chest.

Fortunately, this feeling came and went quickly.

After the intense light vanished, Tang Mo's body returned to its original sensation.

However, when he stepped out of the Teleportation Array, everything before his eyes had changed.

He was surrounded by unfamiliar buildings and crowds.

Tang Mo was quickly taken to a lounge by the staff to rest.

People had long since become accustomed to Teleportation Syndrome like Tang Mo's; general teleportation points were equipped with dedicated lounges for people to rest.

After feeling a bit better, Tang Mo got up and left.

Arriving at the city gate of Ning Tong City, Tang Mo directly provided his identification information.

Once identification information is registered at a city gate, the information can be used nationwide; there's no need to register again when leaving other cities.

After checking that everything was correct, the city guards granted him passage.

Tang Mo finally made it to the wild as he wished. "I can finally level up again. To think I actually slept at home; it really feels like a luxury!"
