Transcendent Dawn

Chapter 104 - 0104: Transaction



“The Training of Soldiers, requires 80 points for access, may not be taken out of White Tower! ”

“Wanderer Advancement, requires 200 points for access, may not be taken out of White Tower! ”

There’s a scheme to the transcendent books in the White Tower: higher tiers are found on higher levels, and high -tier content is not found on lower levels.

With just a flip through the third level, Su Lu had found the career information for [Soldier] and [Wanderer]. Seeing the appalling expense, he couldn’t help but wince.

“It would be great if you could simply touch them to gain the career information. Unfortunately, that’s not a feature.”

Despite the power of the attribute interface, it still required him—the host—to read first in order to activate it.

Without advantage in this aspect, Su Lu could only borrow “The Training of Soldiers” first and read through it slowly.

[Ding! Detected 1st Rank Career Information—Soldier! Taking office requires Strength 1.5, Constitution 1.0!…Conditions Met! Would you like to take office by consuming 150 experience points?]

A prompt window immediately popped up.

“With my physical condition, it’s feasible to take office directly, but it seems too conspicuous?”

Instead of using the attribute interface straight away, Su Lu turned his gaze back to the book in his hand.

He felt that upon borrowing, he signed a Word Spirit Contract with the White Tower, stating that the extraordinary content was not to be disclosed.

Of course, this compulsory contract does not have much repercussion.

Even if violated, the only consequence is immediate knowledge by the White Tower.

But considering the influence of Green Tree Castle’s laboratory in the Federation, it is clear that the consequence is terrifying.

“Perhaps… it’s time to change myself and try the orthodox way of advancement. That seems not bad.”

Su Lu rubbed his chin.

With the resources of the Inner Circle, supporting his advancement to [Soldier] was not much of a problem.

Moreover, his professional rank had reached 2. Before advancing to the third rank [Shadow Warrior], he did not need to worry about the sharp decrease in experience points.

He thought for a while, and simply changed the second rank [Wanderer] as well.

[Ding! Detected 2nd Rank Career Information—Wanderer; Precondition: First rank Soldier, Constitution 2.0, Agility 1.5!..Conditions Not Met! Unable to take office]

Like this, although the points in the Two Leaves badge sharply declined to 208, the career information for the two ranks was compiled in the attribute interface, and he no longer needed to worry about them.

“As for the third rank [Shadow Warrior], and even the fourth rank [Dimensional Walker], I guess I have to go to the fourth or even the fifth level…”

Su Lu felt a twinge.

With the tower’s floor corresponding to identity authority, in order to reach such a level, he must first elevate his authority to Three Leaves or even Four Leaves Five Leaves.

This would be an impossible task unless he consecutively made sensational research results, or directly sold the telegraph patent.

But either way would attract too much attention.

“Next, I’ll become a [Soldier] in the orthodox way; reading books to gain experience every day… Although such books with experience points are rare, little gains can add up to great results. This White Tower is my treasure trove. I need to fully utilize the three-month adaptation period provided by the Inner Circle.”

Su Lu contemplated for a while, then suddenly said, “And there was that Orchi, who was very interested in my telegraph patent. He’s a three-leaf ranked… Maybe I should consider it?”

In actuality, he discovered that the Occupational Encyclopedia on the third floor was indeed abridged.

If he could access higher levels, it was possible that he might even find information on the [Dream Master] profession.

The training ground.

“The breakthrough of being a [Soldier] is quite easy: it’s training! Lots of intense training, so harsh that it could make ordinary soldiers pee blood. You need to stimulate and exceed your physical limits!”

A white man, who stood about two meters tall and was built like a mountain, was training Su Lu. ‘Your physical condition is impressive, practically one of the best among ordinary people. Your constitution is even more astounding. However, if you want to transcend, more rigorous training is needed. Don’t be afraid of injuries and don’t be afraid to exhaust yourself. The Inner Circle has abundant resources!”

“Yes, coach!”

Sweating bullets, Su Lu answered loudly.

In the Inner Circle of Green Tree Castle, anything could be obtained as long as there were enough points.

At least, that’s how it was for low-ranking individuals.

This formal training ground and the coach were all rented by him for a mere 4 points a week. It was a bargain.

Moreover, the Inner Circle also had dedicated chefs and waiters revolving around him, customizing the most nutritious and delicious menu for him.

If he was willing to spend more points, he could even purchase certain concoctions that would aid in his breakthrough.

Today, Su Lu started with hundreds of push-ups and long-distance running for his warm-up. He then lifted dumbbells to keep his muscles active, followed by more strength-building weight lifting.

The coach was merciless, starting Su Lu off with two hundred pounds.

Fortunately, Su Lu’s physical condition was truly extraordinary and he was able to shoulder the weight.

After completing these exercises, he enjoyed a lavish meal for lunch prepared by the nutritionist and chef, then entered a relaxation phase where a masseuse helped him loosen his muscles.

By the afternoon, it was time for his daily reading period.

Su Lu arrived at the White Tower, picked up a copy of “Aesop’s Fables”, and began to read slowly.

He had eclectic tastes. Going through the books he had already read one by one wouldn’t yield much gains.

Only Su Lu knew that he specifically chose those rare, original, and energetically vibrant books to siphon experience from.

Although these kinds of books are scarce in the White Tower, there were still a dozen in the first through third floors. Each book offered tens to hundreds of experience points, which made purchasing its reading access with points worthwhile.

Just then, a man sat down before him. It was the red-haired Orchi. “So, how about it?”

“The Francis consortium is indeed powerful. I’m willing to partner with you…even for only a 10% share!”

Su Lu replied without looking up.

“So…what do you want in return?” Orchi’s face grew stern, sensing a bad feeling coming on.

“Ever since coming to the White Tower, I realized how foolish I was before. I have a desperate desire to navigate the vast sea of knowledge….Unfortunately, with my current authority, I can only explore the first three floors. If you could let me go to the fourth or fifth floor, or provide me with the information I

want, we have a deal.” Su Lu answered with a straight face.

In reality, if he had transferred the telegraph patent to White Tower, Su Lu would probably have elevated his status to Three Leaves or Four Leaves directly. But he was somewhat reluctant to do so.

After all, this was a highly profitable project that was bound to make money!

Of course, the patent could be submitted if other options failed.

Compared to a simple wired telegraph, his path to transcendence is obviously more important.

“To provide you with the information, in the realm of transcendent careers?” Orchi was quick to catch on and replied, “I’ll need to ponder over that.”

Now it was his turn to hesitate.

“Take your time, I’m always open to the idea.” Su Lu waved his hand.

Orchi got up and walked away in deep thought.

Suddenly, he had a new realization. ‘What really impressed the Inner Circle about Su Lu was his innovative thinking and research ability, but the invention of the telegraph was merely connecting previous achievements with a bit of inspiration… If he can’t continue to innovate in this area and show enough value, then there will be plenty of opportunities to suppress him.’

The information in the White Tower couldn’t be exchanged with one another. Achieving this would consume a lot of resources.

If Su Lu had chosen more shares instead, it would have been easier to

negotiate..
