12: Chapter 12 Leaving the City

A level 20 Shield Warrior Professional has roughly 1000 points of Stamina.

Of course, this is without taking equipment into account.

Speaking of equipment, Tang Mo currently does not have a single piece of equipment on him.

That novice staff was returned after leaving the dungeon.

The cheapest Black Iron equipment currently sold on the market costs 3000 gold coins.

Equipment quality is classified into Black Iron, Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Diamond, Supreme, and Saint Artifact.

Tang Mo does not even have 1 gold coin on him, so buying equipment is impossible.

If he is lucky, perhaps wild beasts will drop weapons or equipment, though the probability is quite low.

As long as he can go to the wilderness, he can obtain various materials after killing wild beasts.

These materials can also be sold for money.

Tang Mo also specially prepared some dry rations and water, so he wouldn't need to worry about going hungry while in the wilderness.

He even brought two spare sets of clothes, in case the weather in the wilderness suddenly changes.

After changing classes, everyone receives a storage space.

After putting everything into his storage space, Tang Mo went to sleep.

Early the next morning, Tang Mo first went to the Great Xia Dragon Country Professional Management Association in Jiangkou City.

Before going to the wilderness, every Professional will first go to the Professional Management Association to register their identity information.

However, the Professional Management Association is not just for registering identity information.

It is also a huge platform for Professionals to conduct trades and post missions.

Furthermore, it purchases all materials dropped in the wilderness; since it is an official platform, the prices are absolutely fair.

It also sells weapons, armor, and similar equipment, and the quality is absolutely trustworthy.

However, Tang Mo's main purpose for registering his identity information was to accept missions.

As long as he can complete the missions posted there, he can receive the corresponding gold coin rewards.

Arriving at the association's front desk, Tang Mo stated his purpose directly.

After filling out his identity information, Tang Mo received a Primary Professional Badge.

This badge is said to be refined by a special Professional.

After wearing it, one can block the Scouting Technique of Professionals whose level does not exceed one's own by more than 10 levels, which is quite practical.

After possessing the badge, one can also enjoy corresponding discounts when purchasing items at the association.

Moreover, when selling items, the association also reduces the handling fees.

However, Tang Mo's badge is only primary, and the corresponding permissions are limited to this.

To obtain higher permissions, one must complete the missions posted by the association to earn the corresponding contribution points.

After understanding the prices of relevant materials, Tang Mo went straight to the mission issuance area.

After browsing through it roughly, Tang Mo discovered that most of the missions here were simple material acquisition tasks.

【 Resurrection Grass, 20 gold coins per portion. 】

【 Mutant Brown Bear Fur, 100 gold coins per portion. 】

【 Gale Wolf Fang, 10 gold coins each. 】

...

Those who posted these material acquisition missions were all Life Professionals such as Alchemists, Blacksmiths, and Tailors.

If these Life Professionals want to level up, they must use a large amount of materials for skill training.

Then they will sell the processed products to those in need to earn income.

In this way, Life Professionals have space to exert their own value.

Subsequently, Tang Mo discovered a mission posted by the Professional Management Association.

【 bone crown, 10 contribution points, 100,000 gold coins. 】

【 Note: This item is dropped by the Undead Mountain Dungeon BOSS, and it only has a chance to drop in a purgatory difficulty dungeon. 】

Seeing the rewards offered by the mission, Tang Mo knew that the difficulty of this mission was not low.

Undead Mountain is located to the north of Jiangkou City, about 30 kilometers away.

It's just that the Undead Mountain Dungeon is a level 20 dungeon, requiring at least level 15 to enter, and Tang Mo's level is obviously not high enough.

Moreover, dungeon difficulty is generally divided into Normal, Hard, Nightmare, and Purgatory.

purgatory difficulty dungeon is the highest difficulty dungeon.

As for exactly how difficult it is, Tang Mo hasn't been there and doesn't know.

The description in school textbooks only has one sentence: "Normal and Rare tier Professionals are strictly forbidden from entering!!"

It looks exactly like a man-eating abyss.

After browsing around the association again, Tang Mo finally set off for the wilderness north of Jiangkou City.

Arriving at the city gate, Tang Mo took out the proof given by the principal and handed it to the city guard.

"Tang Mo, level 10, Deadly Poison Master?"

The soldier took Tang Mo's school proof and carefully compared it, then returned it to Tang Mo after confirming.

It wasn't that the soldier was intentionally making things difficult; it was just that Tang Mo looked too young.

He looked more like a high school student.

If he happened to be a student looking for excitement and something went wrong, he couldn't afford the responsibility.

Fortunately, after confirmation, both Tang Mo's identity information and school proof were without issues.

The city guard quickly granted passage.

"Your identity information has been registered; from now on, you can freely enter and exit the city gate with your identity information."

"The wild beasts in the wilderness are very cruel, please pay attention to your safety."

Finally, the city guard did not forget to remind him: "If you encounter danger or cannot defeat the wild beasts, hurry back. Life is the most important thing; after all, you are still young."

Knowing that he meant well, Tang Mo smiled and replied: "Thank you, I will be careful."

Passing through the thick city wall, Tang Mo noticed that the wall seemed to be built with special materials.

Arriving outside the city, in an instant, a bloody, pungent scent rushed towards him.

The sky was grey and hazy, shrouding everything outside the city like smog, making even one's mood heavy.

It was completely two different worlds compared to the situation inside the city.

Tang Mo turned to look at the city wall behind him, only to discover that there was a faint shimmering light flowing over it.

"It seems this city wall is indeed not an ordinary object; it can actually divide this world into two different realms."

Tang Mo continued to walk forward, and the atmosphere in the air became increasingly oppressive.

A thick smell of soil mixed with the scent of wild beasts permeated the air, making it hard for people to breathe.

Tang Mo released his Poison Barrier, maintaining it about a dozen meters around his body.

Because Tang Mo was not the only person in the wilderness, if the range was too large, it would be bad if he accidentally hurt others.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, the city wall behind him could no longer be seen.

Occasionally, he could see Professionals and wild beasts fighting.

These Professionals were all level 10 and above, and there were also Professionals in their 20s responsible for leading teams to level up.

Tang Mo would always choose to detour far around them before proceeding.

After all, Tang Mo was covered in a dark green Poison Barrier; it wouldn't be good if he was accidentally mistaken for a wild beast and attacked by them.

Therefore, Tang Mo kept traveling through the jungle, trying to minimize contact with those Professionals.

And this jungle is a paradise for wild beasts; most Professionals choose to hunt as far away from the jungle as possible.

"Rustle, rustle, rustle~"

A sound of rustling leaves successfully caught Tang Mo's attention.

Following the source of the sound, 50 meters away, a huge spider was walking with its long abdominal legs, crawling towards the prey in its spider web.
