Learn one small skill every day

Bai Miao was mentally prepared for this, and at the same time, he was even more curious about what this attribute fruit was.

"Do you know what a 'attribute fruit' is?"

"I don't know. Could you please explain it to me in detail, and tell me what I should pay attention to after entering the Forest of Isa?"

Providing clients with specific information about the commissioned task is not against regulations.

Bai Miao asked this question because he wanted to know more details.

"Attribute fruit is a fruit that increases basic attributes after being eaten. A person can eat a maximum of three in their lifetime, and each fruit will increase their attributes by about 10 points."

"If you want to know your current attributes, I can have our people examine them for you in detail."

"No thanks."

Such an examination would inevitably leave a record, and Bai Miao didn't want his personal attributes to be known by others.

Otherwise, the weakness of having very low strength will be exposed.

"All right……"

The guild leader didn't insist. Attributes are considered a private matter for each adventurer. Apart from being recorded when the adventurer's name is initially registered, no one updates this data afterward.

"The Forest of Isa is located outside the western border of the Empire and is not within the area protected by the War Master. It is inhabited by various chaotic races, including demons and goblins, making it extremely dangerous."

"But the real danger in the Forest of Isa is not here. Once you reach the core area of ​​the Forest of Isa, many adventurers will lose their way and gradually get lost. This quest has already caused several groups of excellent adventurers to lose contact."

"If you wish to accept this commission, please leave your name."

"Whitesis".

After registering, Bai Miao quickly left with the entrustment.

After Bai Miao gradually disappeared into the distance, everyone in the guild tried to recall the person who had single-handedly wiped out several teams of adventurers, but they only had a very vague impression of him.

All I remember is that this person seemed to be wearing a black mask, as if shrouded in a thick fog.

“Whitesis… go investigate this person. Which guild in the Empire is he registered with? Why have I never heard of such a name before? With his strength, he definitely can’t be an unknown nobody.”

The chairman only had one clue—a name—and a bead of cold sweat trickled down his forehead.

Because he believed he had memorized Whiteside's appearance perfectly.

But he can't remember the details at all now!

It's safe to say that even if Whiteside appeared in front of him again, he might not even recognize who that person was!

This terrified him, as it showed that the other party had unknowingly cast an extremely powerful spell.

And he was completely unaware of it.

Just how big is this gap?

"We've made a fortune this time."

When Zhao Wanyang saw the glittering gold coins in Bai Miao's hand, she couldn't stop smiling: "I really want to eat some roast meat, I don't want to drink meat soup anymore."

"Anything can be arranged."

"How effective was your cognitive modification mask? Did it leave any other clues that could be used to track you down?"

Wang Xiang believes that the key to this instance battle is to hide oneself in the shadows while gathering intelligence on the opponent.

"The Aleph-level item should be effective, but just to be on the safe side, I'll go to the guild again tomorrow. We're not in a hurry to set off to complete this quest right away; let's continue to gather information in the city."

Wang Xiang nodded: "That's right, that's what I'm planning too. Even if other teams receive the same commission, given the difficulty of the commission, it can't be completed in just one or two days. The fact that the Forest of Isa is a place that no adventurer wants to go to must mean that it has many other unique features."

"Then I'll go to the library in the capital to look up information, and I'll also help my book progress a bit."

Zhao Wanyang volunteered, "You guys can do something else. We can divide the work and cooperate. If there are any problems, just ask on the Knockers network."

"Working separately is one solution, but what about security..."

"Don't worry, no one in the capital library will cause trouble."

Chapter 258 Familiar Notes

As night fell, the city's residents, who had been busy all day, left their jobs and flocked to various entertainment venues within the city.

The city has a vibrant nightlife, with not only various bars but also elegant venues like opera houses.

Wang Xiang, whose profession is ostensibly that of a bard, took the initiative to gather intelligence at places like the opera house tonight. Bai Miao and Zhao Wanyang, on the other hand, pretended to be tourists, wandering around the city while investigating it.

"These buildings may seem chaotic, but their arrangement and distribution are actually quite well thought out..."

Bai Miao acted as a guide, explaining everything he saw and heard to Zhao Wanyang along the way. He shared all the knowledge he knew with Zhao Wanyang.

Zhao Wanyang's social and literary works are also constantly being enriched.

As all the pages of the book are filled, the attribute bonuses from Zhao Wanyang's book change from only increasing the maximum stamina to additionally increasing the maximum spirit and strength, with the same increase rate as stamina.

If this continues, we're really going to raise a hexagonal warrior.

"Judging from the mental state of these people at night, this war general is really quite capable of governing the country."

To be honest, Zhan Shuai's first impression on Bai Miao was that he was an absolute lunatic, or rather, a very powerful lunatic.

But judging from the situation in the capital, these people's standard of living is far too high.

The city's structure and layout are in no way inferior to those of Arles.

However, the period of development in which Yar City was located was more than a thousand years more advanced than this place.

As the two walked in the square, they suddenly heard melodious piano music coming from the southwest. After just a few notes, Bai Miao recognized the music as familiar.

This chord... is the musician's style.

Bai Miao had not spent much time interacting with the musician, but he had already gained a full understanding of the musician's unique compositional style.

In addition, the musician is not very old, and it hasn't been that long since the last time, so the composition style cannot be changed at will.

Therefore, even though Bai Miao could sense that the musician was trying his best to conceal his own characteristics, there were still many flaws in the notes.

"There's a fight going on over there, let's go watch the show."

Zhao Wanyang wasn't the only one with this thought; as soon as the sounds of fighting came, the surrounding crowd rushed towards the battlefield.

Under the leadership of the War General, the entire Cang'ao Empire is martial. Even if they don't have the potential to become adventurers, it doesn't stop these ordinary citizens from watching the strong fight.

"The War General has summoned so many adventurers to the capital. It seems we won't be short of battles to watch for a long time to come!"

"Exactly! The tickets to the Colosseum are too expensive. Now that we can watch a free battle, it's worth it even if we get injured by the aftershocks. Not to mention, these adventurers should pay for our medical expenses too."

The regulations issued by the security force were posted throughout the city's streets and alleys, so that the residents of the capital city did not need to worry about the influx of adventurers. The security force would bring the perpetrators to justice for any personal or property safety issues caused by adventurers.

This makes citizens even more reckless when they encounter adventurers fighting.

There were eight people involved in the battle.

The musicians' team had five people, while the other side only had three, but the three were able to easily overpower the musicians' team.

The musician seemed to be only applying positive buffs to his teammates with his instrument, without causing any damage to the other side.

This doesn't quite fit the musician's personality...

Since he didn't know how the fight started, Bai Miao couldn't make a judgment.

Let's just watch the show and see what happens.

"Can't you put in a little more effort?! Did you join our team just to slack off?"

One of the soldiers in the musicians' troupe couldn't hold back any longer and complained.

"Give the things back to them. You were the one who started this trouble. Do you expect me to help you kill someone?"

After listening to the surrounding crowd and asking some onlookers, Bai Miao finally learned the whole story.

It turns out there was a thief in the musicians' group. Seeing the three people on the other side with their fancy armor, and since he hadn't eaten for a long time, he decided to steal from them.

As a result, the opposing mage had placed an arcane lock on the package, and the theft was caught red-handed.

"This is what happens when you don't have a skill."

Zhao Wanyang remarked with emotion.

"It's time to decide the winner."

Bai Miao keenly sensed that the flow of the battle had changed.

The warrior in the trio began to exert his strength, shoving one of them aside, then drawing his sword and slashing at the other, knocking him to the ground. The man appeared to be barely breathing.

"Oh? This skill...is even better than those people in the guild?"

A group of knockers?

The musicians and their gang were routed and fled quickly, having apparently used some kind of weapon.

"Want to chase?"

"Let's not chase them anymore. They're just petty thieves; a little punishment will suffice."

Bai Miao thought to himself, "If you guys aren't going to chase after them, then I'll go after them."

"You go back to the hotel first."

Bai Miao said to Zhao Wanyang.

"You're eyeing them?"

"The musician has a quarter of the ethereal power to summon, so she's still somewhat useful."

The musicians' group was clearly put together by mistake, although Bai Miao couldn't understand why the musicians would choose to join such a small group.

"Oh, then be careful."

The two parted ways in a small alley. Bai Miao put on the mask that modified his cognition, stepped onto the roof, and began playing hopscotch.

The housing design within the capital city allowed Bai Miao to move freely on the rooftops. It could be said that, apart from people who could fly, no one could surpass Bai Miao in terms of mobility.

Bai Miao quickly caught up with the musicians' group and watched them run into the thatched huts in the slums.

Bai Miao didn't rush in, but listened to the arguments and accusations coming from inside.

Without exception, they all blamed the musicians for not contributing.

"Aren't you supposed to be an Aleph-level? How come you're only this weak? Or are you not going to keep your promise? You said we'd tell you the truth about White, and you'd just temporarily team up with us in this dungeon. And you're just going to slack off like this in a temporary team?"
