Chapter 18: Learning Instant Concealment

  For Wu Song, Kaviren, this middle-aged man in his fifties, can be described as bitter and garrulous, but for Wu Song, Yemu Town has a reason that he cannot help but go.

  "Alright, Mr. Cavilun, I know you mean well, but I really can't miss this opportunity." Wu Song thought for a moment and said bluntly, "The reward for the task of going to Nightfall Town is 150 grams of Triangular Magic Rhinoceros Powder, and I have an important skill that needs to be upgraded, which happens to require Triangular Magic Rhinoceros Powder. You know, this much powder is equivalent to 7 or 8 thousand crystal coins, but with my current financial situation, I don't have the ability to buy so much powder, so I must take a risk. Besides, the deadline for this task is one month, and I have enough time to find a suitable target on the outskirts of Nightfall Town. I think it won't be too difficult to complete. Moreover, you also know my speed, even if I encounter danger, I can always run away."

  "If you're going for those Triangular Magic Rhinoceros Horn Powder, then I have nothing to say." Kaviren shook his head helplessly. Although he was once a very capable adventurer, due to a major accident, Kaviren lost his left foot and the qualification to continue being an adventurer. He became the person in charge of the Mil Town Adventurer's Guild, living off the meager salary provided by the guild. If it were possible to change Wu Song's mind with a few hundred or even a thousand crystal coins, Kaviren would have unhesitatingly taken out his own money. However, just as Wu Song said, 150 grams of Triangular Magic Rhinoceros Horn Powder was worth over 7,000 to 8,000 crystal coins. This was an amount that Kaviren, a disabled old man living off the guild's monthly allowance of tens of crystal coins, could not afford. He let out a sigh and ultimately chose to give up persisting.

  "Mr. Cavilun, don't worry, I'll be back soon, so it's best if you prepare all the task rewards for me before then, and when I come to get them, I can save some time." Wu Song couldn't explain the details of having an auxiliary device to Mr. Cavilun, so he could only comfort this kind-hearted old man in this way.

  Wu Song used to have a nickname called "Stubborn Donkey". Generally, once he made up his mind about something, no one could change it. However, when Wu Song did things, he wasn't that kind of blindly stubborn donkey. He would make thorough preparations before embarking on a path and seeing it through to the end. For example, this time going to Night Town, Wu Song had made very sufficient preparations!

  He ruthlessly bought a sufficient amount of medicine and miscellaneous materials, hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth and found Warren, the thief trainer in Milltown.

  The Spirit Masters of the Spielberg continent can be divided into warriors, thieves, hunters, mages, pastors, and sorcerers. The Spirit Masters can learn different skills according to their talents. Generally, there are two ways for a Spirit Master to learn skills: one is to go to the library to find the corresponding skill book for self-study, and the other is to find a trainer to teach them.

  "Hey! Wu, you really surprise me, it's only been a few days and you're already back. Have you reached the level of a super ability user in just a few days?" The wrinkles on the face of Warren, the thief trainer, instantly smoothed out as soon as he saw Wu Song. Like Kaviren, this old thief who was always drowsy and sleepy would only perk up when he saw Wu Song, his talented "disciple".

  "No!" Wu Song replied concisely to Kaviren's question and continued, "I want to learn the Instant Concealment Technique."

  "Learning Instant Concealment?" The old thief's narrowed eyes suddenly widened, and his eyeballs bulged out like a toad's, as he hastily smiled and said, "Wu, what kind of joke are you telling? With your qualifications and potential, becoming a Super Ability User is only a matter of time. If you can become a Super Ability User, learning Instant Concealment will save you ten million Soul Power. What's the point of wasting it on this?"

  The Soul Master's skill learning also requires a lot of soul power, but the soul power spent on learning skills is not fixed. The same skill has different stages of learning and consumes different amounts of soul power. The thief's instant stealth technique should be classified as a superpower that can only be learned by superpowers, but in reality, a 10-level ability holder can barely learn it if their agility and basic skills meet the standard. However, the 10-level ability holder needs to spend twice as much soul power as the superpower to learn instant stealth! A superpower learner spends 100,000 soul power to learn instant stealth, while a 10-level ability holder needs 200,000 soul power.

  The old thief, as a professional trainer, had a much deeper understanding of Wu Song than Kaviren. Warren thought it was no problem at all for Wu Song to become a superpower holder and that he would likely make a breakthrough soon. Therefore, he couldn't understand why Wu Song would waste so much soul power on learning Instant Stealth. In his opinion, whether Wu Song learned Instant Stealth now or after becoming a superpower holder made no difference, it was just a matter of two days earlier or later. So, he gave Wu Song some sincere advice, "Kid, listen to me, with your ability, you don't need to waste soul power on Instant Stealth at all. I guarantee that the things I've given you are completely enough to handle everything you can encounter at your current stage!"

  "Would it be a problem if I were to take down thirty werewolves in Nightmarch Town?" Wu Song asked with a smile.

  "Going to Nightshade Town? You've got to be kidding me, you're taking the body modification job in Nightshade Town?" Warren's words were almost shouted.

  "I must get that mission reward!" Wu Song nodded very firmly.

  "Alright, I'll teach you Instant Concealment!" The old thief sighed and didn't argue with Wu Song about going to Night Town anymore. He agreed with a sound, then turned around and walked to a grey wooden cabinet at the corner of the room. The old thief opened the cabinet and took out a dagger and a map from inside.

  "When I was young, I went to Nightmarch Town a few times and still have some understanding of the terrain there." The old thief handed the map in his hand to Wu Song and said, "This is the map of Mill Town that I recorded when I went there before. This thing is more detailed than the maps sold outside now, and it also records some other information about Nightmarch Town. You take it away, if it's useful for reference, it's better, if not, just throw it away."
