Chapter 180: Chapter 180: The Task of Pacifying the Displaced Population Chapter 180: Chapter 180: The Task of Pacifying the Displaced Population Survival Stance (Level 6 Skill) Skill Explanation: Restores your own Vitality by 35%, increases own maximum life by 35% within 2 minutes. Cast Time: Instant Cast, Skill Cooldown: 3 minutes; Magic Power cost – 300, Required Profession: Spear Star Fighter, Required Level: Level 25.

When Chu You saw the skill book’s name, his heart skipped a beat!

Well, well! Who would’ve thought?! A skill book that was super rare in his previous life just got this unexpectedly acquired?!

It would be a lie to say he wasn’t happy. Chu You knew very well that Survival Stance was one of the ace skills of a Spear Star Fighter. It didn’t need casting time and could instantly boost his Vitality significantly. It was very useful whether it was for fighting or anything else.

Some skill books may not seem high-ranked, but their value is by no means less than advanced skills, in fact, some are even higher. The difficulty to acquire them can be extremely challenging as well. The Survival Stance skill is one of such skills, with its value even higher than some Level 100 Level 6 skills.

In his previous life, it’s always a mystery about what dropped it. No Level 25 wild bosses would drop this skill book. It was extremely rare.

Chu You put all the freely acquired points into Strength, causing both HP and Attack Power to increase drastically.

As for the remaining 2 Skill Points, Chu You clearly knew how precious Skill Points are and how difficult they are to obtain. In the Celestial World, the majority of the skills can be upgraded. The most challenging way to level up is to grind, especially those skills with long cooldowns. It’s exceptionally hard to upgrade.

The Grand Marshal said at this time: “Night Ghost, it’s prodigies like you that Yan Kingdom needs to serve the court. Today, I met with the Yan Emperor and was informed about the sudden flooding at the Wui River. The local people are suffering and disoriented. The Court’s treasury is currently empty. The worries of the Yan Emperor are deep, fearing that the impacted people may cause a rebellion.” Speaking to this point, the Grand Marshal’s face darkened, “Now, Yan kingdom is besieged on all sides, North with Beast Race looking covetously, West with Jin and Wei countries, South with Datang. Internally, Rebels are entrenched. All these troubles need money.”

“I understand the intention of Grand Marshal.” Chu You said with a smile, looking at his skill book, he was contemplating which skill should he use these precious two points to upgrade.

The exclusive skills from the Hero’s inheritance cannot be upgraded with Skill Points. Only exclusive inheritance skill points can upgrade them. As for how to get inheritance skill points, he knew a little about it.

After some thought, Chu You upgraded the ‘Spear’s Unmatched’ skill.

This skill was the top tier skill that he obtained through successful trials. It’s a buff skill that improves his stats, and it can’t be sold or traded.

Spear’s Unmatched (Level 6 Skill, Second Class): Within 2 minutes, physical Attack Power is increased by 25%, physical Defense by 45%, Movement Speed by 30 points, and Attack Speed by 40 points. Instant Cast, 5 minutes cooldown.

As for the remaining Skill Point, Chu You upgraded the newly acquired Survival Stance.

Survival Stance (Level 6 Skill, Second Class) Skill Explanation: Restores own vitality by 40%. Increases maximum life by 40% within 2 minutes. Cast Time: Instant Cast, Skill Cooldown: 3 minutes; Magic Power cost: -280.

Upon hearing Chu You, the Grand Marshal nods, “The Yan Emperor attaches great importance to the matter of Wui River. Your success in the Luo River matter has caught the Yan Emperor’s attention. If you can solve the problem of the flood-affected people this time, Yan Emperor will surely be more pleased with you. For you, this is a golden opportunity. If successful, I will help you to meet Yan Emperor!”

System: Do you accept the SS-level difficulty task: Soothe the Displaced People!

Chu You promptly checked his task.

Soothe the Displaced People Task Introduction: Construct 50,000 civilian houses, provide food for the displaced, restore order to the Wui River area!

Task Reward: Complete the task within a month, receive 1 million Experience Points, get 20,000 Prestige Value!

Second Task Reward: Complete the task within two weeks, receive 2 million Experience Points, get 30,000 Prestige Value!

Third Task Reward: Complete the task within a week, receive 4 million Experience Points, get 50,000 Prestige Value!

Task Failure Punishment: Due to the attention of the highest ruler of the Yan Kingdom, if the task is not completed within a month, the goodwill of Yan Kingdom’s Nobles towards you will permanently decrease by 50, and Prestige Value will be reset to zero!

“Don’t worry. Whatever the situation was for the people in Wui River before, I can assure you, it will be even better after I go there!” Chu You confidently said, and immediately accepted the task.

“Haha, I knew you have such great Energy, and had not mistaken your capability. Someone! Please bring me my cherished Immortal Wine!” The Grand Marshal spoke to the outside, then turned to Chu You: “This wine is Immortal Wine, my precious collection. Do you know where this wine comes from? Immortal Tomb!” The Grand Marshal forthrightly came clean.

Chu You knew what Immortal Tomb is. It was the dwelling place of one of the Twelve Gods of Huaxia.

“Oh? I’ve heard about Immortal Tomb. Can wine also be made there? Haha, I must try it!”

“It’s said that this wine has great benefits for cultivators!” the Grand Marshal gave a mysterious smile.

At this time, a maid carefully walked in from outside, carrying a tray. On top of it was a beautiful cyan wine pot and two matching small wine cups.

When the wine pot was uncorked, a subtle fragrance wafted out. The maid poured the wine smoothly. Soon, two small cups of wine were placed in front of them. After doing her job, the maid stood by their side.

“Come, Chu You!” The Grand Marshal lifted his wine cup.

Chu You reached out to pick up the small wine cup in front of him. The wine’s color was like clear water, like a white spirit. However, the wine’s aroma was something Chu You had never smelled before.

In his previous life, he had tasted countless top-quality wines, but none of them had a fragrance as intoxicating as this one before even sampling.

AS he put the wine cup to his mouth and had the liquid enter his mouth, a system notification sounded.

System: Your Attack Power Attribute permanently +5, Attack Speed +0.2!

Hearing this, Chu You stopped savoring the wine’s taste. He quickly downed the remaining wine in the small cup.

System: Your Attack Power Attribute permanently +15, Attack Speed +0.8!

What a remarkable wine! Just a small cup of wine had increased his Attack Power by 20 and Attack Speed by 1.

Watching Chu You down the wine in one gulp, a look of admiration rose in the Grand Marshal’s eyes, “You sure can hold your liquor, Chu You.”

“Grand Marshal, can you sell this Immortal Wine to me? This wine really benefits my cultivation greatly and I really like it!”

“Since you love it so, how can I stand to do business with you? Here, I’ll give it to you!”

Haha! This is the charm of mingling with high society. A game only certain people can afford to play.
