Chapter 70 - 70: 070 Anthony’s Advice



Spring City, Promotion Temple!

Dean McKenzie returned to the first floor of the Promotion Temple with a familiar sensation of weightlessness.

just as he returned, Anthony, with his blood-shot eyes, got in his face, nervously asking.

“How did it go? Did you pass?”

Dean McKenzie cracked a smile: “Passed it in one go!

“As long as you’ve passed it, that s good!

Only then did Anthony breathe a sigh of relief.

At this time, Dean McKenzie leaned in: “Oh Anthony, didn’t you say if I passed in one go, you would give me a cash equivalent for the remaining opportunity.”

Hearing this, Anthony’s face instantly darkened.

“Cash what?!”

“What? Why a hammer? I am not a warrior…”

“I’ll give you a hammer!”

“No, if you don’t want to give, don’t give. Why do you hit people… Oh, shit…” Before Dean McKenzie could finish speaking, Ennis Hawkins had already pulled down his pants.

With a belt soaked in iodine in his hand, he scared Dean McKenzie into yowling.

Dean McKenzie had no idea how Anthony managed to gather the materials for nightmare mode in just five minutes.

Of course, Anthony had no intention of telling Dean McKenzie.

After brandishing the belt to scare Dean McKenzie a few times, Anthony put

away the belt.

“Forget about cashing in your attempt.

The additional materials required for the nightmare mode have used up all your merits and even then, we were short. Your salary this month having been deducted just covers it!”

“No cash in?”

Dean McKenzie was stunned for a moment, then his attention shifted: “My

salary?

Anthony, do I have a salary?”

“Nonsense, you are a formal member of the Professional Alliance, how could you not have a salary?”

“So, how much is my salary?”

“You’re in a probation period now, monthly salary – 50.”

“50?” Dean McKenzie frowned and cautiously asked: “50 gold coins?”

Ennis Hawkins did not answer, but his smirking face gave Dean McKenzie the

answer.

Dean McKenzie was immediately upset: ‘Wait, I work so hard and they only pay me 50 silver coins a month?”

‘What are you working so hard for?

Since you’ve started, haven’t you failed to complete any serious tasks?”

Dean McKenzie pouted, feeling a bit unconvinced. He might not have done any serious tasks, but the merits he earned were legitimate, right?

Anthony saw right through what he was thinking.

“Your merits have already been rewarded. The salary I mentioned is a base salary. Apart from the base salary, you also enjoy employee benefits, and there are rewards for attaining merits!

“What kind of employee benefits are there?”

Anthony was discussing benefits for the first time, so Dean McKenzie was particularly interested.

“There are quite a few employee benefits. Employee dormitories, employee subsidies that goes without saying. The most important are the Map Entry Tickets and Secret Realm Entry Tickets.

“Map Entry Tickets and Secret Realm Entry Tickets?

What are those?”

“These are items that can be used to enter maps or secret realms, you are at one-turn now, right?

Near Spring City, there are only 4 maps and secret realms for one-turn

21-level.

Here in Spring City, hundreds of professionals complete their promotion each year, but with few maps and loads of people, previous maps were always chaotic, with constant severe incidents of monster grabbing and treasure snatching.

Therefore the Professional Alliance stepped in to manage the maps and secret realms and also introduced two types of entry tickets, Map and Secret Realm. Professionals can enter the map to level up with the entry tickets!”

“What the hell?”

Dean McKenzie turned pale when he heard this.

“You need to queue to farm monsters?”

“There’s no choice. Spring City, after all, is not Abyss City. Shortage of

resources, we can only adapt!”

“So how many entry tickets can I get in a month?”

“What do you mean how many entry tickets can you get in a month? With your current level, you’ll be lucky to get one ticket in half a year to a year!”

“So you’re saying, even though I am one-turn, I still have to wait half a year to a year to level up?”

“Right!”

Dean McKenzie’s happiness about the completion of his promotion instantly plummeted.

Looking at Dean McKenzie whose mood had suddenly dropped, Anthony said meaningfully: “Spring city is a small city after all, located at the heart of the Alliance, it’s safe indeed, but lacks resources, which is inevitable.

If it’s a heaven abyss city like Thom Oak City, then resources would be abundant there!”

“Thorn Oak City? Abyss City?”

“Alliance cities are divided into two types. One is like Spring City – normal cities, the other kind is Abyss Cities like Thorn Oak City.

An Abyss City refers to a city that is in the vicinity of a Heavenly Abyss.”

“What is a Heavenly Abyss?”

“Uh, didn’t you…what have you been reading in the library all this time?

“Monster information, skill introduction, map introduction!”

“So you didn’t look at history at all, did you?”

Dean McKenzie proudly responded: “No! I hate history the most!”

“Even if you don’t like it, you have to learn. It’s a basic literacy for professionals. Remember, the most important thing to do when you get to a new place is to understand the past and present of the map. That should be your priority!”

Anthony strictly admonished Dean McKenzie, then continued: “The so-called heavenly abyss, you can think of it as a crack from another world.

The presence of the heavenly abyss leaks substantial power from that world, causing extreme changes to the surrounding environment.

It transforms ordinary beasts into monsters, transforms normal environments into maps, and spawns secret realms.

Therefore, generally speaking, cities with heavenly abyss are resource-rich.

At least, they are fully equipped with maps for one-turn up to three-turn, but they are also relatively dangerous.

Take Thorn Oak City for instance, nearly every few years, the heavenly abyss suffers an upheaval, each upheaval induces a monster attack.

20 years ago, during one of these upheavals, a dragon exceeding five-turns appeared, and Thorn Oak City was nearly destroyed…”

Listening to Anthony’s introduction of Thorn Oak City, Dean McKenzie’s eyes lit up as if they were of a certain kind.

“What about that? Anthony, Thorn Oak City…

Dean McKenzie trailed off halfway through his sentence.

“What’s with Thorn Oak City?”

Dean McKenzie changed the subject abruptly: “No, no, I was wondering, since Spring City is short of maps and secret realms, do employee benefits include Instance Scrolls?”

Ennis Hawkins’s eyebrows rose, but he continued answering anyway. “Here in Spring City, Instance Scrolls are even harder to come by than map entry tickets. One one-turn Instance Scroll is at least ten gold to start with, and they are not easily available on the market.

Though the Alliance has some for exchange, the conditions for the exchange are rather strict.”

Having said this, Ennis Hawkins paused for a while, looked at Dean McKenzie and said directly: “Although your template is just an elite template, by successfully completing the nightmare mode, together with those two enhanced skills, your current potential is not inferior to a rare template of the same level.

With your current potential, Spring City is too small for you. If you wish to further pursue your career as a professional, you should consider leaving.”

“Uh!”

Dean McKenzie wanted to go out and see the world after learning about the situation in Spring City, but he had received so much help from Anthony, could he just leave like that?

Anthony saw right through what Dean McKenzie was thinking and said: “If you’re feeling guilty about owing me a favor and think it’s inappropriate to just leave, you don’t have to worry. You’re just leaving, not dying!

Besides, with your one-turn strength, staying in Spring City won’t repay me much.

Rather than staying, I’d prefer you to soar high.. Who knows, if you become rich and return in glory, won’t I benefit then?”
