Chapter 82: Valley of Sighs
“So we can actually deduct our Intelligence Points in exchange for other people’s training tips? Then I guess the money isn’t wasted.”
“And the outstanding talent of Reverie b.u.t.terfly…”
In the past, unique skills were never discounted.
Perhaps, because it was too cheap… the Energy Ball, which was slightly more expensive, was also unlocked before the interface upgrade.
“I’ll learn Eye of Nightmare first.”
This unique skill was very BT. With just one look, it could pull opponents with similar mental strength into the illusion.
Together with the Dream-building unique skill.
Regardless of whether it was using illusion damage or trap, giving an Energy Ball in reality could defeat and knock out the opponent.
What a murderous look.
But… it was also very difficult to learn the skill.
“According to the information given by the seller, even with that training insight, sprites may not be able to learn it.”
Learning advanced unique skills depended entirely on one’s talent.
Of course.
Su Hao gave Reverie b.u.t.terfly the optimization plan after the interface was unlocked.
It was safe and reliable.
But the learning time… wasn’t short.
Fortunately, Reverie b.u.t.terfly had comprehended the “dream building” skill which was much harder to learn.
“I’ll start with ‘Glaring’.”
Apart from the training for “Eye of Nightmare”, Su Hao also prepared a set of learning materials for Reverie b.u.t.terfly.
“Game Plan: From Entry to Entertainment”.
Let Reverie b.u.t.terfly learn how to construct illusions and how to maximize the usage of illusions to inflict damage to the enemy.
After thinking about it, he downloaded another horror movie “T”.
He touched Reverie b.u.t.terfly’s head and said, “You have so many movies to watch in the future, are you extremely happy?”
Reverie b.u.t.terfly: “???”
…
“Next stop, Rainbow Station. Pa.s.sengers who are alighting, please bring along your luggage and belongings…”
Su Hao pulled his suitcase and left the bus stop with a Reverie b.u.t.terfly and a Little Fire Crow on his shoulder under the watchful eyes of pa.s.sers-by.
Magic City…
It was Su Hao’s first visit and it felt completely different from An City and Yunhua.
At just the bus stop, he witnessed many Sprite Trainers roaming around with their sprites.
He booked a ride on his cell phone and headed to the Sprite Trainer gathering center in Magic City.
The driver had a s.h.i.+ny scalp and was very talkative. When he learned that Su Hao was heading to the Sprite Trainer gathering center, he told him a lot of things related to that place.
To put it bluntly, it was just a collection center for trading, communication, battles, information, and so on.
Many Sprite Trainers who came to Magic City from other places would choose that center as their first stop.
The driver thought so too.
“Looking back at those years, if it weren’t for the fact that I suffered a knee injury… Cough, cough, if it weren’t for the fact that sprites back then were too expensive to afford, I might also be an elite-level Sprite Trainer now.”
“But it doesn’t matter. I’ve also made a lot of money over the years. I can’t become a Sprite Trainer but my daughter can. When she’s 16, I’ll buy her a sprite contract.”
“Young man, look at my daughter’s photo. She’s very cute, right? Do you want to add her contact? You young people will definitely be able to get along well…”
Su Hao felt that there was something wrong with the way the driver was looking at him.
I’ve contracted two sprites. At a glance, I can’t conceal my excellence, but…
Su Hao got out of the car hurriedly and left.
In his mind, he couldn’t help but recall the photo the driver showed him.
Well…
She’s indeed pretty cute.
…
The Sprite Trainer gathering center was bustling.
Compared to the steel forest of Magic City, it was like two different worlds.
Sprites were everywhere.
There were people selling things, people performing with sprites, and even people battling…
Well…
When Su Hao arrived, there happened to be an event.
It seemed like a compet.i.tion with prizes to be won, sponsored by a certain company.
Two sprites were fighting in the arena, and there was even a big circle of audience surrounding them.
Shouts and cheers came like waves.
“Attack, attack!”
“Water arrow! Sigh, it should have used water arrow!”
“That Rock Throw is beautiful. Looks like the winner is set!”
The battle was quite lively but Su Hao gave it a glance and noticed that none of the sprites had reached entry-level.
Little Fire Crow could easily crush them.
We’re not interested in this anymore.
Su Hao walked further in.
On the surface, it was just a gathering point for Sprite Trainers in Magic City, but at the same time, it was also one of the entrances to the New World in Dragon Nation.
On the opposite side was a large city called Storm City. It was related to the region they were currently in where storms blew all day.
Su Hao wanted to go to the public training field near Storm City.
—Valley of Sighs.
Over there, violent winds raged loudly, forming echoes in the valley that sounded like sighs, lasting for a long time.
Su Hao chose the Valley of Sighs as his first stop because he wanted to train Reverie b.u.t.terfly’s and Little Fire Crow’s dodging abilities.
Neither of the two sprites excelled in resistance. To them, “dodging” was the most critical skill.
“It just so happens that both Reverie b.u.t.terfly and Little Fire Crow can fly. This arena can train two sprites at the same time.”
As for the training of illusion abilities?
It didn’t matter.
They could just train anywhere.
Su Hao took the elevator and arrived at a place that looked like a train station.
To advance to the New World entrance, one needed to pa.s.s through the special subway built under the distribution center.
There weren’t many people here anymore. A few men and women around his age were barred at the entrance of the station.
“Let us in, Autumn Pear Ointment!”
“We have money. Isn’t the Valley of Sighs open to the public?!”
“I’m just going in to take a look…”
The young man guarding the entrance was unmoved. Only the Flaming Pig next to him spewed out two flames from its nostrils from time to time, destroying any of their thoughts of forcing their way in.
Su Hao walked past them and attracted their attention.
He lightly took out his Sprite Trainer certificate, and with a beep, he opened the gate to the station.
He went in…
Went in…
In…
Those teenagers widened their eyes. “How did he…”
“He’s a mid-level Sprite Trainer, what about you guys? Think about your own standards.”
“If you continue to gather here, I’ll arrest you for obstructing official business.”
The young man’s eyes kept following the Reverie b.u.t.terfly above Su Hao’s head. He found it a little familiar.
What kind of sprite was it?
Suddenly, his expression changed. He recalled Silkworm Baby who was in the limelight a while ago and that boy.
“So it’s him!”
…
There were naturally restrictions on the opening of the New World Training Grounds to the public.
Entry-level was the lowest requirement.
And some dangerous training grounds only allowed elite-level trainers to enter.
Su Hao arrived at the entrance through the train. Without Heavenly King Zhou leading the way, the checks were much stricter. After entering Storm City, all he could see was pure white snow and howling wind.
However, the ticket he bought only led him to the Training Grounds in the Valley of Sighs. There was no possibility of him going out of the city freely, so he was quickly sent to his destination.
At the entrance of the Valley of Sighs.
A cold wind that was much colder than An City blew past. Su Hao wrapped his coat tightly around himself.
Reverie b.u.t.terfly flapped its wings, flicking away the snowflakes that blew over.
Little Fire Crow flew about in discomfort.
The environment here was… freezing cold for them!
Su Hao waited for a while at the manager’s office at the entrance of the Valley of Sighs. Soon, a young man in his early twenties walked over.
“h.e.l.lo, I’m your guide and bodyguard. I’m in charge of your training guide for the next ten days. My name is Zhu Mingda.”
