Chapter 485 - 365: Royal Palace Banquet
Kane Mansion,
In the following days, besides attending the special training with Mr. Stephens at the First Magic Workshop, Lis also engaged in physical training to quickly adapt to his enhanced body.
However, this time, Lis did not continue to hide his talent for mastering the skills of other professions from Judgement Flame.
When Stephens saw Lis skillfully using the Warrior Skill, Furious Slash, and the assassin skill, Invisibility, his face showed some surprise.
He had seen exceptionally talented individuals who could master the abilities of two or even three professions, but he had never before encountered a talent like Lis, who could master every profession without the slightest restriction.
Eyeing Lis, who was gasping for breath and collapsed on the ground, Stephens said with a smile,
"Your talent is very special, Lis."
"I have never seen a talent like yours before. I can imagine you being able to choose and learn a lot."
Stephens, looking at Lis, said with some emotion,
"With such a good talent, you could indeed learn more about the abilities of other professions, Lis. It will help improve your strength and broaden your horizons."
"But at the same time, a person’s time is limited. I hope you can clarify your goals and not let the multitude of abilities confuse you."
"Yes, I understand, teacher."
Lis nodded and said earnestly.
He understood Stephens’s concern.
Truth be told, even if he had the System with him, mastering all-round strengths without weaknesses would be quite difficult for Lis, even with his All-Purpose talent.
Especially for the Arcanist, a special profession that requires wisdom, time, and focus.
But now, Lis could cry out without any hesitation,
System, Points!
The existence of the System completely accelerated Lis’s progression in strength, which allowed Lis to make the leap from Bronze to Gold Rank within a year.
Seeing that Lis understood his point, Stephens did not say more and teleported away from there.
Lis struggled to his feet and took a clean set of clothes out of the storage ring to change into.
Looking at Ludwig, who was still barely maintaining control under magical attacks in the distance, he shook his head and left directly.
Ludwig was still immersed in training Mo Yun, whose days were spent in grueling conditions. There was nothing new for Lis to see there.
Lis had been keeping an eye on the situation with Zhao Zhao that he had instructed it to handle.
At the White Dove Guild, after that day, Lis had directly initiated a new mission on the Guild interface to [Heading to New Territories], which had already attracted thousands of players to sign up by now.
On the players’ forums, Zhao Zhao not only posted videos and threads related to Lis and Ludwig but also highlighted predictions for the future progress of the game.
Lis also logged into the game’s forum to take a look. It was evident that Zhao Zhao had worked hard on his mission, and indeed, what was said made sense.
According to Zhao Zhao, with Lis being a definite main character in the storyline, his actions were very likely to signify the future development of the game’s plot, whether it be the Blood Sacrifice Chaos in Bright City or the war between two countries in Luminous Stone City, Lis played a significantly important role.

Particularly, as Lis’s strength continued to increase, his influence in the game’s storyline grew increasingly significant, especially with the last battle in Luminous Stone City practically turning into Lis’s solo show!
Now that this big shot was recruiting people to develop his new territory, it was highly probable that the next major plot event might occur along the Coastal areas or in the south of the continent.
Even if not, it didn’t matter—worst case, it would just be a trip from Feis Kingdom to Boditch Kingdom as most players had never left their birth countries since joining the game.
Following Lis to the Luou Peninsula was also quite a rare opportunity.
Although Lis had told Zhao Zhao to recruit helpers, he did not specify the requirements for recruitment, so naturally, Zhao Zhao assumed that players were to be recruited.
Of course, this was also something Lis had anticipated.
But...
Lis closed the player forum. In a sense, Zhao Zhao wasn’t wrong.
The main storyline of version 3.0 indeed took place near Danerluo Port.
Was this a case of the process being all wrong, but the outcome all right?
In a certain sense, this was also what Lis had wanted to achieve over this period, to make the players subconsciously regard him as one of the weathervanes for the direction of the storyline.
Although many things were going smoothly, there was still no trace of that hidden hand behind the All Beast Church.
In the past few days, Lis had checked all of the Feis Nobles who were openly associated with Count Pitry, as gathered by Mora, and found no one matching the aura in Lis’s possession.
This situation was quite troublesome.
If the adversary consciously avoided any overt connection with Count Pitry, then it would be more difficult for Lis to find that person.
Lis also kept an eye out for any nobles who had suddenly disappeared, as the adversary would have surely noticed Count Pitry’s predicament by now.
If the adversary fled due to guilt, Lis might be able to catch some traces.
Unfortunately, nothing unusual had happened there either.
The more this was the case, the more intense Lis’s worry became.
After all, Count Pitry’s identity and status were significant enough that he might have been a core subordinate of the hidden mastermind.
Faced with such a threat, the adversary had still not made any response.
