Adventure: My Skills Evolve Infinitely

Chapter 186: Chapter 138: A Gentleman Uses His Mouth, Not His Hands

"..."

Lin Mo froze for a moment, then replied, "Oh, right. Now that you mention it, that’s true!"

Inwardly, however, he was shocked and confused.

He hadn’t known about this before.

’No wonder they don’t recommend developing multiple Professions,’ Lin Mo had previously thought. ’Even for geniuses who learn Skills quickly, couldn’t they just train a Profession to the Professional Level to get its Protection? It wouldn’t be a loss, even if they don’t use it much. So why doesn’t anyone do that?’

’So you can’t get Protection more than once... That explains it. The difficulty of learning Skills from other Professions is already higher than your main one, which you’re very familiar with. Plus, you’d most likely have to start with Low Level Skills, which aren’t very useful even after you learn them. And in the end, you don’t even get another Protection.’

’It really is better to just focus on mastering a single Profession.’

’So what’s going on with me, then?’

Lin Mo glanced at the Protection Attributes on his panel.

He had genuinely received the Protection from not just one, not even two... but a full four Professions!

’Is this also because of the Skill Level panel? Or is it because I’m not from this world?’

Lin Mo didn’t dwell on it any further, instead steering the conversation to other topics.

The carriage finally reached Silver Stream City before nightfall. Since it was too late, they had dinner together and then went their separate ways to rest, agreeing to meet at the City Lord’s Mansion the next morning.

Shefilya took Feney with her as usual, while Lin Mo and the others returned to the inn.

It was already very late, and Lena had already turned off her light and gone to sleep.

So, as a matter of course, Ali didn’t return to her own room, instead following Lin Mo into his.

After washing up, they chatted for a bit...

As they talked, the look in Ali’s eyes changed, and she brought the conversation back to the recent mission.

Her strength was indeed falling far behind Lin Mo’s and Shefilya’s, and unlike Feney, she didn’t have a specific role to fill. This left her in a very awkward position on the team.

In the past, Ali might have wallowed in self-pity, feeling sad, lost, and helpless. But now, she knew exactly what she had to do.

"We’re just talking, why are you getting so handsy? A gentleman uses his words, not his fists, you know?"

Lin Mo grabbed her "sinful" little hand.

The Little Wolf Girl looked at him defiantly. "Ali needs to get stronger, to raise her power."

Despite her words, she was obedient. He had told her not to use her hands, and she didn’t.

"Hiss—"

Lin Mo sucked in a sharp breath.

’Ah, what the hell,’ he thought. ’I got enough rest yesterday, anyway.’

’Might as well help her with a little ’special training’...’

----------

The next day, Lena woke up around the same time as always.

She glanced at the empty bed next to hers and felt a pang of disappointment.

’I wonder when Mr. Lin Mo and the others will be back?’

Although her life had stabilized and she got along well with her colleagues, they were still just colleagues.

With her only two friends gone for several days, Lena felt a little lonely.

’I hope everything goes smoothly for them, and they come back safe and sound soon...’

The Little Cat Girl thought this as she got out of bed, washed up, and prepared to go to work.

Meanwhile, in the next room, Lin Mo groggily opened his eyes to the familiar sight of a wolf tail held high, swaying gently.

’No way. Still not full?’

Lin Mo rubbed his forehead in exasperation. ’Maybe the feeling of getting stronger really is addictive... When will I get to enjoy this feeling of rapidly powering up?’

He gave Ali’s ear a firm pinch, and after a moment, patted her on the head.

"Come on, it’s time to go to the City Lord’s Mansion and collect our reward."
