Chapter 5: An Omnipotent Scholar with Seventeen Talents
update icon Updated at 2023/6/24 12:10:12

After Moon Bloom lost Lyle,

The first problem they faced was breakfast.

The biological clocks of the three were well-regulated by Lyle.

They would wake up when it was time and then habitually go downstairs for a delicious breakfast.

In the empty villa, the three looked at each other, and no one spoke.

At this point, they realized that Lyle was gone.

The kitchen, which used to emit a strong aroma, was now quiet.

Amelia volunteered to prepare breakfast.

Sia sat with a cold face.

She could obviously see that Flo and Amelia were looking at her with subtle eyes.

So why did it turn out like this?

I just said that if you try a little harder, we can reach the forty-fifth floor.

What did I do wrong?

We relied on each other in the dungeon for two years, didn't we?

Can all these things be nullified by just saying you quit?

"Come, try what I made."

Amelia came out with two plates.

Sia looked down at the breakfast in front of her.

Indeed, it was a far cry from what Lyle made.

He knew what she liked and didn't like.

He also knew that she never ate eggs in the morning.

He would even warm the milk to an appropriate temperature for direct drinking.

"I'll try it."

Straightforward Caster Flo took a bite.

She chewed twice, then calmly took a napkin to wipe her mouth.

"How is it?" Miss Priest clenched her fists, her eyes sparkling.

Flo nodded: "It's delicious, you should try it."

"Really?"

Amelia hurriedly tasted it with her spoon.

After a while, she slowly put down her spoon: "I'll go find Lyle to come back, Sia, apologize, Lyle won't really be angry with you."

Sia suddenly came to her senses: "No way!"

...

...

Adventurer's Association.

This was a magnificent place, grand and imposing.

A lifelike statue of the goddess stood in the fountain of the front plaza.

When Lyle entered the hall, there were no guests inside, quite deserted.

At the front desk was a blonde elf girl, sleeping soundly with her face down on the counter.

Detecting someone approaching, the elf's pointed ears twitched.

She was quite cute, and Lyle wanted to touch her ears.

She sat up groggily, covering half of her face, and it took her a while to see the figure before her.

"Are you... Moon Bloom's Scholar?"

Lyle was taken aback: "Do you know me?"

"Famous adventuring teams have files here."

Lyle nodded: "I'm here to handle the withdrawal procedure."

The elf girl glanced at him.

It seemed like he had been kicked out...

Perhaps to save face, he claimed to withdraw voluntarily?

But it was true; Moon Bloom's fame had been growing, and Sia was a beauty, so many people were coveting the Scholar's position.

Competition in the upper echelon of adventurer teams was fierce indeed.

She stretched lazily: "You need the team leader's document from Moon Bloom to do that."

Lyle thought for a moment: "Then just cancel it."

"Are you sure? After canceling from the Adventurer's Association, all your progress in the dungeon will be lost, and if you want to register again, your level will be 1."

Lyle nodded: "Cancel."

The elf girl yawned and flipped through the booklet beside her with sleepy eyes.

"You need to update your ability scores first; it's been two years."

The elf girl laughed: "Moon Bloom adventurers always come to the association to update their ability scores after returning from the dungeon, except for you, who never returned after registering the first time.""There's no point."

Lyle smiled bitterly: "I don't have any of Scholar's skills or talents, so I'd better not go looking for trouble."

And he didn't have time for it.

He usually went to the market to sell materials right away.

"Wait a moment."

She rummaged through a drawer for a while and took out a dark piece of parchment.

Lyle rolled up his sleeves, and the elf girl rolled the parchment onto his arm.

"What are you planning to do later?"

The elf girl found that this Scholar looked quite handsome and didn't have the arrogance that most Scholars had on their faces, so she couldn't help but talk to him a little more.

Lyle thought for a moment: "I guess I'll travel around for fun."

"Um... well, that's it."

The elf girl picked up the parchment, looked down, and found that it was filled with tiny, dense characters.

Eh?

Today's text seemed to be much more than usual?

...

【LV-44】

【Moon Bloom】

【Lyle·Gefenhardt】

【Scholar】

【Strength:7】

【Stamina:7】

【Intelligence:15】

【Talent:???】

【Skills】:level 6 bread baking, level 6 cooking, level 6 mining, level 6 gardening, level 6 wood carving, level 6 brewing, level 6 tailoring, level 6 alchemy, level 6 fishing, level 6 gold carving, level 6 armor forging......

...

The elf girl's mind went blank for a moment.

One, two, three...

Seventeen legendary skills?!

She rubbed her eyes, then tore the parchment with a crisp sound.

Lyle: "......"

My ability value.

Has it become so pathetic that even the receptionist at the Adventurers' Association can't bear to look at it?

"I just woke up, and I made a mistake, let's try again."

"Oh."

Then the elf girl was completely stunned.

"What's wrong?"

"You... see for yourself."

Lyle took a look: "Is there a problem?"

"Ah?!"

The elf girl widened her eyes cutely: "You really think there's no problem with having seventeen legendary skills?"

"They're all life skills... Sia always encouraged me to work hard at them."

Lyle was taken aback: "Aren't life skills not that difficult? I'd rather trade all these life skills for one Scholar talent, or skill, even the lowest level."

Of course, Lyle had to thank Sia for this.

In order to take care of the young ladies of Moon Bloom, he spent two years mastering all life skills.

He did this just in case they suddenly had some strange requests.

Even so, Sia often complained that he didn't have Scholar talents.

The elf girl's chest heaved, and she pointed to the parchment.

"How long did it take you to reach level 6 in cooking?"

"Three months."

"Gardening?"

"About the same, three months."

"What about alchemy?"

"This one took a longer time, over a year of learning and experimenting."

"Bread making?"

Lyle thought for a moment: "Two days."

As a transmigrator, simply understanding this world's process would allow him to start improving and creating things.

The elf girl was almost in tears.

Damn.

As the queen of part-time jobs, she didn't have any life skill over level 2!

Was this tortoise grandson showing off on purpose?

"It's a pity, I still don't have any Scholar skills or talents."

Lyle sighed.

Many Scholar skills could only be learned through the Academy's system and taught in textbooks.Moreover, he doesn't even have any talent.

No, it can't be said that he has none.

It's three question marks.

It's completely useless.

"How did you manage to learn so many life skills?!"

Lyle paused for a moment, then said something baffling: "In every university, there are always a few certification enthusiasts."

"Certification Mania, My College Life Is Not Wasted"

Of course, Sia's attitude is even more classic — "A 985 Master's degree beats them all; I've seen many certification enthusiasts, but the actual value of the certifications they obtained isn't high, it's just a hobby."

Eofer's Academy is that 985.

The elf lady was greatly shocked.

It seems that he really doesn't know the concept of legendary life skills.

At level six cooking, he could apply for a job at the top restaurants in Eofer.

At level six wine making, if he were to make a few barrels of wine for the adventurer's tavern every month, it would mean a large amount of gold coins coming in.

Level six alchemy is the most terrifying; he could even teach a class.

With all these skills, Lyle is still at her beck and call; what's wrong with him?

If he still can't win her over, what's wrong with Sia?
