Chapter 218 StellarTrails Emporium
After Eric and SerenaRainfall entered the library, SerenaRainfall's beautiful eyes sparkled with astonishment upon seeing the magnificent scene inside the library.
The library seemed like a fantastical world, with countless documents and materials displayed around the first floor of books. In the center, there was a giant transparent water sphere, which functioned as a supercomputer, where one could search for all the information about Eldoria.
Around the water sphere, there were many open-air meditation rooms made of magical crystals, where players could study or practice their magical skills.
Researching new magical skills was generally something only third-tier and above magic classes would do. At this stage, players didn't understand magic well enough, let alone research it, and the magic they used was all at the beginner level. However, as their levels increased, the use of magic would become more complex. Without a certain understanding of these magics, it would be impossible for players to use high-level spells.
This led many magic-class players to give up their adventures in Divine Realms and switch to life professions.
In fact, this was true not only for magic but also for combat skills. The more powerful the combat skill, the higher the operational skill required. This also highlighted the difference in individual player skills. The reason why some people could advance to fifth-tier professions while others got stuck at the third tier lay on their personal skill differences.
Although leveling up and increasing attributes helped to some extent, the benefits diminished as players progressed.
This was why god-tier players were so rare.
That was also why Eric trained his body all day and spent a lot of money on nutritional potions to improve his physical fitness. It was to enhance his brain's potential and activity. Only by further developing his brain's potential could he control his in-game body, gain extraordinary combat power, advance to a fifth-tier profession, and aim for the sixth-tier god position, reaching the pinnacle of Divine Realms: Legends.
"Let's split up here. I need to find someone. If you want to learn advanced skills, the second-tier mentor over there can help you," Eric said, pointing to an old mage in a white robe next to the giant water sphere.
"Thank you." SerenaRainfall felt a bit awkward at this moment. She had intended to help Eric, but it turned out it was Eric who had helped her a lot. "You seem very familiar with Divine Realms: Legends. Are you a professional player?"
"Sort of," Eric nodded.
"Then let's add each other as friends. I don't usually play games much; I mostly buy equipment in the game. It will be easier to find you if I need to buy equipment or do tasks in the future," SerenaRainfall said with a smile, sending a friend request.
"Sure, but if you want to do tasks, you better contact me in advance," Eric agreed to the friend request.
He hadn't expected he could meet a potential female client while coming to take a task.
When the studio officially operated, besides raiding dungeons and getting equipment, they needed to find sponsors and various companies to make money. However, getting sponsorship from big companies was extremely difficult. Usually, they relied on players willing to spend big money. Only by becoming a large guild could they attract big company sponsorships and make big money.
Although Eric's studio hadn't officially operated yet, having a client approach him now was quite lucky.
After Eric left, SerenaRainfall checked Eric's ID name.
"What? He's Kai Blackthorn, the top player in Silvervale City?" she exclaimed.
Because Eric always hid his ID, it only revealed after adding friends.
Although SerenaRainfall wasn't a game expert and didn't know much about the gaming world, Eric's name had already made waves in Silvervale City. He was known as the top free player in Silvervale City, a god-tier expert, and so on.
The luxurious version of the Silvervale City guide she bought was exactly written by Eric.
'No wonder he looks familiar. So, he's Kai Blackthorn. This is interesting,' SerenaRainfall thought, her red lips curling slightly, pondering something.
At the top floor of the library, in Eldoria Hall.
Although the entrance to Eldoria Hall was guarded by level 180 first-tier knights, making it very strict, even ordinary nobles couldn't enter freely. These knights did not stop Eric.
Instead, they opened the crystal door directly, allowing Eric to enter.
"I've been waiting for you here for so long. Why are you only coming now?" Sharon, sitting high at the crystal stone table, looked at Eric with a charming smile. She wore an exquisite, luxurious white robe that emitted a faint silver glow, looking as pure as a saint. Under the immaculate robe, her long legs were crossed, revealing fair, tender skin, as if Sharon was deliberately teasing Eric.
At this moment, Sharon was no longer a level 20 third-tier Divine Officiant but a level 180 third-tier Divine Officiant. This level was her true strength. Besides the few fourth-tier overlords in Silvervale City, Sharon was probably the top person in Silvervale City.
"What are you daydreaming about? Come and sit. We have time to chat," Sharon smiled lightly, pointing to the empty seat beside her.
For someone as money-minded as Sharon, Eric instinctively felt a chill, as if he was being targeted by a miser, fearing for his wallet.
But for the clue to the Epic Level task, Eric still walked over and sat beside Sharon.
Eric took out 10 gold coins and placed them on the table, asking softly, "Honorable Lady Sharon, I have brought the 10 gold coins. Can you tell me where The Book of Darkness is stored?"
Sharon waves her hand and the next second, the gold coins on the stone table flew into her hand. She played with the shiny gold coins with a smile.
"I didn't expect you to make money so quickly. I really underestimated you," Sharon said slowly after putting away the gold coins. "But I have another new piece of information now. Are you interested? This information is very accurate and will definitely help you find the location of The Book of Darkness."
Eric couldn't help but twitch his mouth as he knew this was a money-grabbing tactic.
"How much do you want?" Eric regretted it a bit. Because of the solid stone's high sales, he now had over seventy gold coins. He should have stored them in the bank.
But there was another possibility. The player needed to reach a certain amount of gold to trigger another clue. Undoubtedly, Eric had reached this threshold.
"Not much, just 40 more gold coins. Of course, you can choose not to listen. But finding the earliest clue location is impossible for you. Are you sure you don't want to hear this new clue?" Sharon blinked at Eric, emitting a pure holy light, making it hard to refuse.
So the clue would take him a total of fifty gold coins.
Eric cursed inwardly, 'Why don't you just rob me!'
But Eric held back. As long as he could get the Epic Level task reward, spending fifty gold coins was worth it.
"Here's forty gold," Eric gritted his teeth, taking out forty shiny gold coins and placing them on the stone table, forming a small gold mountain.
Sharon's eyes lit up at the sight of the small gold mountain. After collecting all the gold coins, she slowly took out a contract and handed it to Eric, saying, "This is the contract for Silvervale City's Stellar Trails Emporium. Take this contract to Mr. Spencer. He has a way to get you to the Abyssal Caverns."
