Adventure: My Skills Evolve Infinitely

Chapter 185: Chapter 138: A Gentleman Uses His Words, Not His Fists (3)

"Alright. The rewards earned by the Silver Radiance Squad for this rescue mission are as follows: 18 gold coins for the three-day base salary for three people. 40 Gold Coins for killing approximately 500 Ordinary Goblins. 350 Gold Coins for 60 Sub-adult Mutant Goblins and 40 Adult Mutant Goblins. 45 Gold Coins for three Quasi-Bronze Goblins at 15 Gold Coins each. And finally, for five Threat Level 3 Bronze Level Goblins at 30 Gold Coins each and six Threat Level 4 Bronze Level Goblins at 50 gold coins each, for a total of 450 gold coins..."

"Added all together, the total reward is 903 Gold Coins!"

’That much?’

Lin Mo hadn’t really given much thought to these things, so the final result came as a pleasant surprise.

Gold Coins, and since this was a mission, he would also get an additional reward from Feney’s mother, making for a grand total of 1806 Gold Coins!

Of course, this money had to be divided.

Besides Philie and Ali, he also had to consider Shefilya, who had possibly contributed even more than he had.

Lin Mo could already imagine the disdainful look on Shefilya’s face when he offered her the money.

’But it was just as they say: she could refuse it, but he couldn’t not offer it...’

Whether the young Maid would actually accept it was another matter entirely.

Besides the monetary reward, there were also additional honors.

Sure enough, the Lord of Silver Moon Town continued, "In addition, to thank Mr. Lin Mo for his efforts and contributions during this rescue, we will also award you the ’Guardian’ badge of Silver Stream City and bestow upon you the title of ’Honorary’ Third-class Baron of the Kingdom."

"These additional rewards, including the badge, must be collected from the Viscount back in Silver Stream City."

Lin Mo nodded in acknowledgment, then took the document and returned to Philie and Ali’s side.

Feney’s face was full of curiosity as she looked at the document in his hand. Thinking about how she had also contributed—even if it wasn’t much, she had done her best to help her mother—a sense of pride welled up in her heart.

Shefilya’s face was also filled with pride. It wasn’t because of her own efforts, of course, but because she was gratified to see her young lady’s growth.

Ali, on the other hand, didn’t feel anything in particular. To her, it was an Adventurer’s duty to slay Demons and protect civilians.

The reality may have been different—being an Adventurer was just a job, and most Adventurers didn’t think that way—but there were indeed many pure-hearted and kind Adventurers like Ali.

With the reward announcements complete, the president of the Adventurer’s Association could take a break. The Lord of Silver Moon Town, however, was still busy with other tasks. He had to tally the personnel losses from the Goblin disaster, arrange compensation for the families of fallen soldiers, compile battle reports, and organize ongoing reconnaissance of the nearby forest...

Being a competent Lord was no simple matter; there was a great deal to be done.

The Adventurers began to leave the Association. When Landon saw Lin Mo and his group come out, he proactively struck up a conversation. "Lin Mo, what are your plans? Heading straight back?"

"Of course. This whole ordeal was exhausting. I need to go back and rest for a couple of days."

"Our squad was thinking the same thing. Why don’t we go together? We can chat on the way..."

"Sounds good."

Lin Mo had no reason to refuse. Now that the rescue mission was over, it was back to taking normal quests. Their three-person team had run into many inconveniences before, so it would be best to recruit more people or simply cooperate with another squad.

Lin Mo felt that Landon’s Cyan Orchid Squad was a great option. They were strong, he was a good person, and they seemed trustworthy.

Besides, if they teamed up with the Cyan Orchid Squad, they could definitely consider taking on D Level quests.

This would also help Lin Mo in his push to become a Bronze Level Adventurer.

They had all arrived together, but that wasn’t the case for their departure.

Many squads planned to stay in Silver Moon Town for a few days to rest and recuperate. They would treat it as a small vacation, experience the local culture, and maybe check out some unique local spots for the novelty of it.

Lin Mo, however, set off directly for Silver Stream City with the Cyan Orchid Squad, planning to rest once he got back.

"You’re saying you’ve learned Skills from more than two Professions?"

On the road, Landon came over to chat with Lin Mo as he’d said he would, and was once again shocked by him.

He gave a thumbs-up and said one word, "Badass."

"But I’d still recommend you focus on one Profession Specialization in the future. It’s not that you can’t learn Skills from other Professions, but since everyone can only receive the Protection of one Profession, the cost-benefit isn’t as good as focusing your study on your main Profession."

Madam Chacher from the Alchemy Shop had said something similar before.

Lin Mo paused for a moment, then suddenly asked, "What do you mean, you can only receive the Protection of one Profession...?"

Landon gave him a puzzled look. "Since you’re a Professional with multiple Professions, you should be the one who knows this best, right?"

"When a person first becomes a Professional, and each time their Professional Level increases, they receive an additional Protection effect. This effect is especially noticeable when breaking through to a new tier, which is a major reason for the huge gap between Professionals and Non-Professionals, as well as between Professionals of different tiers."

"But a person can only receive the Protection of one Profession at a time. For instance, you said you started out in the Warrior Profession, so you would have received the Warrior Profession’s Protection. You only get that Protection once per level. When you acquire other Professions later on, you can’t receive that same level-up Protection again. Haven’t you noticed?"
