Chapter 94: A Place to Earn Contribution Points: The Elemental Battlefield
Just as Lin Moyu finished his call with Bai Yiyuan, his communicator vibrated.
[Created new record for Tyrant Desert dungeon, received 5000 points, 30 contribution points. (Can only be obtained once)]
Seeing the message, Lin Moyu smiled slightly.
Large dungeons indeed gave much higher rewards.
Too bad it could only be obtained once.
At the dormitory entrance, Lin Moyu met Bai Yiyuan.
Before he could speak, Bai Yiyuan grabbed Lin Moyu and they instantly disappeared.
Bai Yiyuan used a teleportation stone to transport them both.
The next second, Lin Moyu found himself outside a small courtyard.
The yard was on a mountain, very secluded, surrounded by bamboo forests. The breeze felt very comfortable.
It was night now, with moonlight and stars filling the sky.
Bamboo grew in the courtyard, with small magic lamps hanging on them, providing dim lighting.
It showed the refined taste of the owner.
Lin Moyu was a bit dazed, he really liked this kind of house.
Bai Yiyuan was very pleased with Lin Moyu’s reaction, "This is my house, not bad right?"
"Very nice," Lin Moyu nodded in agreement.
In this era of rampant monsters and fierce beasts, almost no one lived in the wilderness anymore.
Everyone lived in cities, protected by walls and armies. The wilderness was too dangerous.
Probably only people like Bai Yiyuan would live in the wild.
"Come in," Bai Yiyuan chuckled, leading Lin Moyu inside with large strides.
They passed through the front yard without entering the rooms, going straight to the back yard.
In the back yard was a tea table with fragrant tea.
A middle-aged man was sitting in the back yard. He looked refined and elegant, wearing a long robe like a learned scholar.
Lin Moyu felt respect upon seeing him.
So he took the initiative to greet him respectfully, "Lin Moyu pays respects to Mr. Meng."
Meng Anwen, like the White God, was known to all in the Divine Summer Empire.
One of the strongest career holders, a god-level formation grandmaster, Meng Anwen.
Respectfully addressed as Mr. Meng.
He had made outstanding contributions to the Divine Summer Empire.
Like the White God, his deeds were written in textbooks.
Lin Moyu had seen Meng Anwen’s photo in books and read about his deeds.
He held respect for Meng Anwen in his heart.
Meng Anwen smiled and nodded, "Come sit, have some tea."
Bai Yiyuan smiled, "No need to be so formal, old Meng is easy to talk to."
"Take out the Tyrant’s Heart."
Lin Moyu took out the Tyrant’s Heart.
It was shaped like a heart, soft to the touch, looking like a living thing.
Meng Anwen glanced at it, "Indeed the Tyrant’s Heart."
Bai Yiyuan looked at Lin Moyu, "You really soloed it?"
Lin Moyu nodded, "I soloed it."
Bai Yiyuan looked strange, "How did you clear it?"
This...
Lin Moyu didn’t know how to answer, hesitating for a moment, "I just cleared it like that."
Bai Yiyuan also realized he had asked a silly question.
"How was your score?" Meng Anwen asked.
Lin Moyu answered honestly, "Just over 14 hours."
Bai Yiyuan looked shocked.
Such a fast speed meant Lin Moyu’s solo combat power even exceeded a 40-person team.
And Lin Moyu was only level 20 when he entered the dungeon.
To have such combat power at level 20, his future strength would be even more terrifying.
If he could reach the third transition...
Bai Yiyuan got excited thinking about it.
Meng Anwen was much calmer, showing no reaction, "Not a bad score. Old Bai, you need to keep your promises."
"Of course," Bai Yiyuan took out a talisman.
It was a junior cooldown talisman, exactly the same as Lin Moyu had seen before.
Bai Yiyuan said, "This cooldown talisman is yours now. If you want to upgrade it to intermediate or advanced in the future, you’ll have to do it yourself."
"I can tell you the upgrade method."
Lin Moyu knew there was no free lunch, so he immediately said, "What instructions does Lord White God have?"
Seeing Lin Moyu so cooperative, Bai Yiyuan was very satisfied, "No rush. Let me ask you, do you want to enter Creation God Academy?"
That was obvious, a rhetorical question.
Lin Moyu said softly, "Yes."
Bai Yiyuan chuckled, "I know you level up fast, so level isn’t an issue. What you lack are contribution points."
Lin Moyu nodded again, "Yes."
Lin Moyu’s answer was within Bai Yiyuan’s expectations.
Bai Yiyuan’s eyes flashed with a cunning light, "So do you think you can earn 1000 contribution points?"
Lin Moyu shook his head, not confident.
He now had 90 contribution points, but was still far from the 1000 required by Creation God Academy, not even a tenth.
He had planned to set new records for all the dungeons he could enter in the Dungeon Hall.
But he wasn’t sure how many contribution points that would earn.
If each dungeon gave 5-10 points, even setting new records for all dungeons under level 30 wouldn’t be enough.
Bai Yiyuan guided him, "Have you heard of the Elemental Battlefield?"
Elemental Battlefield?
Lin Moyu shook his head again, indicating he hadn’t heard of it.
Bai Yiyuan took a sip of tea, looking composed, "There are many good things in the Elemental Battlefield that can be exchanged for contribution points."
"The university has outposts in the Elemental Battlefield with missions. Completing missions also earns contribution points."
"In short, to quickly earn contribution points, you need to go to the Elemental Battlefield."
Lin Moyu’s eyes lit up slightly.
He was clearly interested in the Elemental Battlefield.
Noticing Lin Moyu’s expression, Bai Yiyuan knew he had piqued his interest. He changed topics, "But not just anyone can go to the Elemental Battlefield. Like the Dungeon Hall, you need to qualify."
Lin Moyu looked at Bai Yiyuan, "What do I need to do to go?"
Bai Yiyuan chuckled, "I can give you this qualification."
"The conditions?" Lin Moyu asked directly.
Having dealt with Bai Yiyuan a few times, he knew his personality.
Everything was an equal exchange.
There were no free lunches.
Manna wouldn’t fall from heaven.
Bai Yiyuan chuckled, "Smart. The Elemental Battlefield has many good things, lots of dungeons, and sometimes natural secret realms appear."
"The dungeons in the Elemental Battlefield have a feature - the level restrictions are very loose, allowing entry within 5 levels up or down, like the Tyrant Desert dungeon you just went to."
"When you go to the Elemental Battlefield, bring back some materials from the dungeons."
"I’ve already made a list of the materials needed."
Bai Yiyuan didn’t seem to consider the possibility of Lin Moyu refusing.
He smiled like an old fox.
The communicator vibrated, and Lin Moyu received the list.
They were all materials.
Dragon hearts, 10.
Dragon blood essence, 10 drops.
Dragon horns, 10.
Dragon crystal cores, 5.
All the materials were related to dragons.
Needless to say, this dungeon was also related to dragons.
Lin Moyu looked at Bai Yiyuan speechlessly.
Dragons were such powerful creatures. He was only level 21, yet Bai Yiyuan wanted him to slay dragons?
How was this different from sending him to his death?
Bai Yiyuan said, "Don’t worry, they’re not real dragons, just a type of beastman called dragons. Essentially no different from the lion tribe in Tyrant Desert."
So that’s how it was. Lin Moyu understood.
He didn’t doubt Bai Yiyuan’s words.
Given Bai Yiyuan’s status, he wouldn’t deceive him.
Lin Moyu asked, "Will the cooldown talisman work there too?"
Bai Yiyuan looked matter-of-fact, "Of course it will."
"What if the cooldown talisman runs out of energy?"
His junior cooldown talisman was currently fully charged, usable 10 times.
Once the energy was used up, it needed to be recharged.
Bai Yiyuan said, "That’s simple, there are many ways. You can go to the Alchemy Hall at the university, find an alchemy master there, and pay points."
Listening to the methods he described, the simplest was returning to the university’s Alchemy Hall to find an alchemist and pay the corresponding points.
You could also find alchemists outside, but that would cost gold coins, and depended on their willingness.
Recharging also required many materials, which cost money.
Or you could find materials yourself. Some special materials could directly recharge the cooldown talisman.
But those materials were rare and hard to find.
In short, returning to the university to recharge was most convenient.
It just cost points.
"Any other questions?"
Lin Moyu thought for a moment, "Lord White God, do you know about desert fruits?"
Bai Yiyuan looked surprised, "You obtained desert fruits in Tyrant Desert this time?"
"I did."
Bai Yiyuan laughed heartily, "What good luck, those things are hard to come by. They’re great for training skills. Did you use them?"
Lin Moyu said softly, "I did, but there weren’t enough."
Even Bai Yiyuan said they were good, so desert fruits were clearly excellent.
Bai Yiyuan patted Lin Moyu, "Don’t think about it, those things are rare. You might not find them even after 10 more runs."
"The Skill Training Hall isn’t as good as desert fruits, but it’s still decent."
"After the opening ceremony, I’ll send you to the Elemental Battlefield."
Lin Moyu asked again, "If I max out a skill, will it level up along with me when I level up?"
Bai Yiyuan was stunned, "How is that possible? Skills all need to be trained."
Lin Moyu seemed to understand something. He didn’t ask further, but instead asked some other questions.
Bai Yiyuan answered honestly.
His knowledge was vast and comprehensive.
Lin Moyu’s questions were all just common sense to him.
After Lin Moyu left, Bai Yiyuan played with the Tyrant’s Heart, "Tsk tsk, the Tyrant’s Necklace, what a nice piece of equipment."
The Tyrant’s Heart was shaped like a heart, but was essentially a crystal core that could be used to craft the boss accessory, Tyrant’s Necklace.
Meng Anwen said, "Is it appropriate to send him to the Elemental Battlefield so early?"
Bai Yiyuan chuckled, "You saw it too, this kid can solo large dungeons. It shows his strength is already comparable to some newly second-transitioned career holders."
"It’s good for him to gain experience in the Elemental Battlefield early."
Meng Anwen said solemnly, "Looks like you really want to cultivate him."
Bai Yiyuan tilted his head, "Is that not allowed? The old man is cultivating his sister, so I’ll cultivate him. I’ll compete with the old man to see whose protege becomes stronger."
Meng Anwen didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. The White God, who seemed so dignified to outsiders, sometimes acted like a child.
"Then why didn’t you tell him there are enemies in the Elemental Battlefield, that it’s not safe?"
"What’s there to say? He’ll find out when he gets there."
