Chapter 65: 065 Promotion Temple
Translator: 549690339
Ennis Hawkins led Dean McKenzie, tearing apart a scroll, and, as the stars whirled around them, they arrived in front of a building.
It was a three-tiered tower-like building.
About thirty meters high, the structure showed no trace of nails or bricks; it was completely unified and its overall color was a heavy black iron.
A banner hung on the tower with the words “Promotion Temple” written on it. As Dean gazed at the building in front of him in astonishment, Ennis started to explain.
“For every profession, once they reach level 20, they need to undertake a Promotion Trial.
Only by completing this trial can they successfully advance.
Only then can professionals continue to gain experience and further enhance their level!
There are two mainstream ways for professionals to advance their roles.
One is to find a Promotion Temple and successfully advance by completing the trial in the temple.
Another is to use a promotion item to start the Promotion Quest and complete the task successfully.”
As soon as Anthony mentioned this, Dean’s attention was immediately caught, and he asked, “Is there any difference between the two methods of advancement?”
“There’s no difference in the final outcome, the difference lies in the process. The second method of completing a promotion by using a promotion item or completing a promotion task can be luck-dependent, as the tasks that come up are mostly random.
Nobody knows what kind of task will appear.
Some Promotion Quests are simple, but others are quite outrageous, and you can’t easily abandon a Promotion Quest. Once it is abandoned, the difficulty of the next task will definitely increase, and you might end up stuck in a Promotion Quest.
Compared to the second type, the first type of advancement through the Promotion Temple is relatively stable.
It s basically a map-based challenge.
So, if possible, professionals tend to choose to advance through the Promotion Temple.
The only problem is the requirement of specific materials needed each time you initiate the Promotion Trial.
Different types of trials require different items.”
Different types of trials? There are difficulty grades for the trials?”
■Absolutely, there are three difficulty levels for the initial Promotion: simple, normal, and difficult!”
“So, the results from passing different difficulty levels of trials are different as well”
“Yes, if you pass a simple difficulty trial, your four-dimensional attributes increase by thirty percent.
If you pass a normal difficulty trial, your four-dimensional attributes increase by forty percent.
And if you manage to pass a hard difficulty trial, in addition to your four-dimensional attributes increasing by fifty percent, your attack and defense, even your mana, spirit power would also increase to some extent.
Plus, you might awaken a level one skill!”
Hearing this, Dean took a deep breath.
Hastily, he asked, “So, Anthony, what about my trial?”
Ennis knew what Dean wanted to ask and responded immediately: “I have prepared your trial for you. I used the rewards from your previous two achievements to exchange for it and prepared the top-level material for your first promotion.
It allows you to attempt the most difficult trial!
However, you only have two chances!”
“Two chances?”
Dean squinted.
“What? Are you worried? With your strength, you should be able to pass on your first try. The second chance is just a backup.
Even if your luck is bad and you fail both times, it’s not a big deal. You conveniently have two extra bounties, and I’ll find a way to help you….” “No, what I was thinking is, since the materials are exchanged with rewards then if I pass on my first try, could the remaining attempt be replaced with cash?
I feel like these materials should be quite expensive…”
“Beat it!”
Feeling that his goodwill was being taken for granted, Anthony swiftly gave
Dean a kick, sending him flying into the Promotion Temple
Anthony followed him into the temple.
Dean was just kicked into the Promotion Temple. Before he had a chance to look around his surroundings, system notifications started to flash before his eyes.
[You have entered the Promotion Temple, and it is detected that you have reached level 20. Do you wish to start your first Promotion Trial?] “Yes!”
Dean nodded subconsciously.
The system notification refreshed again.
[It has been detected that your profession is[Necromancer Apprentice], To start regular mode promotion requires 50 Silver Coins and three pieces of level 20 Black Iron Necromancer Materials.
Opening normal mode requires 80 Silver Coins, 6 pieces of level 20 Black Iron Necromancer Materials.
Beginning hard mode requires 1 Gold Coin, 3 pieces of One-turn Black Iron Necromancer Materials! ]
As the system notification came up, Dean chose hard mode while calling out “Anthony!”
“All sorted!”
As Anthony’s voice fell, the system notification refreshed once again.
[Conditions have been met, please proceed to the second floor to start the Promotion Trial!]
As the final system notification refreshed, a staircase leading to the second floor appeared in front of Dean’s eyes.
Looking at the newly appeared staircase, Anthony patted Dean on the back.
Go on, be careful. If you manage to pass the first time, I’ll cash in the remaining materials for you!”
It was clear that Anthony knew how to motivate Dean. With just one sentence, he filled Dean with determination!
“Yes, I’ll definitely pass the first time and show you!”
With that, Dean stepped onto the staircase leading to the second floor.
As he continued upwards, the stairs he left behind disappeared one by one.
The minute Dean stepped onto the staircase, his test began. There was no way back, as retreat equaled failure.
Very quickly, Dean reached the end of the stairs on the second floor. Here, Dean saw a giant gate.
As Dean was about to open the giant gate, a sudden thought came into his mind.
“Wait, I should allocate my Free Attribute Points before I go in. It would be a disaster if I couldn’t allocate them afterwards.”
After all, passing the trial would increase his attributes by fifty percent, which is equivalent to 12.5 attribute points.
So, Dean opened his attribute board, hesitated for a moment, and gave himself
2 points each in Strength and Agility, leaving the remaining 21 points to be allocated to Physique.
The reason for this distribution was primarily because Dean had a talent that could increase his Spiritual Power.
For Strength and Agility, as a stationary output bunker, it’s not necessary to add too many points. Adding two points was enough for symbolism.
Adding points to Physique was the key.
It wasn’t about the slightly improved defense.
In fact, the benefits of adding Physique didn’t lie in that minimal defense, but rather in the enhancement of Dean’s overall stamina after adding 21 points to Physique.
With his stamina improved, Dean could perform any task more persistently.
More importantly, his vitality also increased.
He didn’t have to worry about being directly taken down by someone with a quick blow.
After completing his point distribution, Dean let his pets out.
It wasn’t that he was worried he couldn’t summon them later, but because past experiences had taught him to be cautious.
Bringing the Skeletons inside was much more convenient than summoning them later.
Dean even gave each of them a shield.
Once everything was ready, Dean, accompanied by Doggy Two and the others walked into the Gate of Trials with an imposing manner..
