[Detected that Frost Descent skill cannot be leveled up… Talent skill can break through the level limit of skills… Successful breakthrough… Frost Descent level + 1.]

The intermittent system notification sounded.

Lu Yuan was not unfamiliar with such a system voice.

As expected, the upgrade was successful.

[Frost Descent +1] (cannot be upgraded)

[Effect]: Consumes 100 MP to summon frost to deal continuous frost damage to the target area, causing 150+15 Intelligence damage for 10 seconds. Cooldown: 160 seconds.

[Description]: This is a forbidden spell that mage Rogge spent a lot of effort to create. However, there was a problem in the final stage, causing the power of this spell to be permanently fixed at the initial stage, which is also Rogge’s lifelong regret.

After the upgrade, the damage of the Frost Descent skill increased even more.

The basic damage was increased by 50 points, and the bonus to the attributes was also increased.

As Lu Yuan’s intelligence slowly increased, its superiority would gradually become more obvious.

With this advantage, the skill would flourish in Lu Yuan’s hands. It would not become a skill that was invincible in the early stages and useless in the later stages, as concluded by the other players.

Rogge checked the giant frost apes’ blood essence that Lu Yuan had given him.

He seemed to have found something unusual within and discovered some unknown clues.

“Brat, I need to make a trip to the Magic Research Institute now, come with me, I might need you.”

At this moment, Rogge’s tone had changed.

A moment ago, he was still a drunkard, but unexpectedly, at this moment, Rogge was filled with the dignity of a senior mage.

His temperament had completely changed. He was filled with the solemnity of magic.

Lu Yuan was also shocked by this temperament.

He could not help but be taken aback by his words.

“Okay, I’ll go with you.”

The reason why Lu Yuan had agreed to go with Rogge was not because of the change in Rogge’s temperament.

It was because during the conversation just now, it seemed that he had triggered the next hidden mission.

With his sharp perceptiveness, Lu Yuan knew that it was likely that he was going to receive a follow-up hidden mission.

Therefore, it would not be a loss to follow him.

Soon, with Rogge leading the way, the two of them arrived at Rogge’s Magic Research Institute.

It was located in a relatively remote area away from the city.

There weren’t even many people on the streets, one could only see some street lamps that were shining bright in solitary.

After entering the Magic Research Institute, Rogge took out a portion of the giant frost apes’ blood essence.

He then placed it on the table and used a strange magic instrument to observe it, as if he wanted to study it thoroughly.

“This is strange, really so very strange. This blood essence actually has such a structure.”

Rogge used a special method to gradually analyze and extract some of the components in the blood.

After a while of analysis, Rogge seemed to have found some clues.

Lu Yuan could not help but be curious and asked, “What’s wrong? What’s different about this blood?”

Rogge frowned, as if he was thinking, and directly ignored Lu Yuan’s words.

Lu Yuan pursed his lips and felt that he was bringing contempt upon himself.

He thought that there would be some hidden mission, he did not expect that he would be brought here just to watch Rogge carry out his magic research.

However, Lu Yuan looked around the Magic Research Institute and found that it was really extraordinary.

Other than the magic instruments that were all over the test bench, there were some monster sculptures and even stones that were engraved with magic runes all over the room.

Just from its appearance, the magic aura within the Institute couldn’t seem to be concealed.

So this was a mage’s Research Institute.

At this moment, the door was suddenly opened from the outside and a figure barged in.

“Rogge! I didn’t expect you to be here. I’ve been looking for you!”

Lu Yuan also saw the person who barged in and realized that it was a familiar face.

It was the Alchemist — Solaka!

The NPC he had met in the novice village!

Rogge said impatiently, “Don’t bother me! I’m busy! Get lost!”

Rogge was focused on his research and naturally didn’t want to be disturbed.

Solaka seemed to be very familiar with Roger’s temperament and didn’t pay much attention to it. He laughed sinisterly.

But then Solaka noticed Lu Yuan who was by the side and couldn’t help but be stunned.

“It’s you? Haha! I didn’t expect you to be here. I thought I would only see you in a few days, but you’ve come unexpectedly soon.”

Lu Yuan frowned and said, “Why are you here?”

Solaka laughed loudly, and his laughter was very presumptuous.

“It’s none of your business where I am, though I’m very surprised that you’re here. You even know Rogge.”

Rogge stopped his research at this time, then turned his head and said, “Enough, Solaka! This is my territory, don’t be too presumptuous!”

Soraka moodily said, “Alright.”

Then Solaka changed his expression again and said, “But I think you have also discovered the clues!”

Rogge couldn’t help but frown as he said, “Could it be that you already knew about it?”

Solaka was in high spirits and was very proud. He said, “Of course! I already discovered that something was wrong a long time ago. That’s why I made use of such clues and even found a good helper.”

Saying this, he turned to look at Lu Yuan.

“Him?”

Solaka nodded.

“This kid is quite capable. I just don’t know if he can deal with the monsters there.”

Listening to the conversation between the two NPCs, Lu Yuan could already feel that there was another hidden mission for him to take on.

“What do you want me to do?”

Solaka looked at the frost elements on the experiment table.

After Rogge’s extraction and separation, he had analyzed and extracted a portion of the frost elements contained in the blood.

“If I’m not wrong, kid, you’ve already entered the Frost Cave, right?”

Solaka pointed at the frost elements on the experiment table.

Rogge frowned and said, “I asked him to go. I needed the blood for research.”

Solaka nodded and continued, “Then there’s no mistake! In the depths of the Frost Cave, there will be a worship ground! It’s the place where the power of the frost element is worshipped!”

Hearing this, Rogge could not help but widen his eyes.

“What?! What did you say?! Worship ground?”

Lu Yuan did not expect Rogge’s reaction to be so exaggerated.

The worship ground that they were talking about was probably the place where Lu Yuan had entered on the next floor of the Frost Cave.

However, the monsters in that place were already several tens of levels. Needless to say, a casual pat by any one of them would kill him completely.

It was impossible for him to go there to fight the monsters.

Lu Yuan secretly glanced at Solaka, thinking to himself: It can’t be that this guy wants me to go there and kill all the monsters, right? I have absolutely no way of doing that.
