Online Game: My Skills Can Be Upgraded Infinitely-Chapter 29

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Lu Yuan could only continue compressing himself into a smaller space as he tried to retreat.

But at this moment, he suddenly realized that there was another giant frost ape king behind him.

If he retreated too quickly, he might enter the area that might trigger the giant frost ape king’s alarm.

God knows what would happen if the alarm of the giant frost king apes was triggered.

What if at that time, if all the giant frost king apes were alarmed, they would directly destroy some of the ice bridges or passages, or what if they would cast some kind of large area spell which could cover and launch attacks over the whole place?

If that time came, Lu Yuan would have no chance to even express his regret.

So this was what it really meant to infiltrate the enemies’ base!

Those stories of infiltration where all the enemies were killed by the protagonist were all lies!

Lu Yuan was so nervous that he was sweating.

His eyes were locked on the cooldown time of the Shadow Following skill.

3...

2...

1!

Just as the giant frost ape king was about to approach Lu Yuan, Lu Yuan’s figure disappeared into the void, and instantly, all trace of him vanished.

When the giant frost ape king passed by, it did not find anything unusual.

Lu Yuan could not help but let out a long sigh of relief.

Thank God! Just a little longer and he would’ve been dead meat!

Fortunately, he managed to enter Stealth in time.

After this small interlude, Lu Yuan continued to explore ahead by relying on his Stealth state.

At the same time, he also marked the half-hour patrol mechanism at the point just now on the map.

According to the mission description, the more detailed he was in his records, the better rewards he would get, so he simply wrote down all he knew.

It was just that the current duration of his skill was no longer six minutes, it was only three minutes, which was neither too long nor too short.

Still, Lu Yuan was satisfied.

He continued to explore bit by bit.

...

Finally, after waiting for an unknown number of skill cooldowns, Lu Yuan completed exploring 97% of the map.

The last 3% was probably the deepest part of the area.

Lu Yuan stood on a small platform and looked at the area in front of him.

He found it very mysterious.

In front of him was a piece of polar ice.

However, in the middle of this polar ice, there was a huge object.

It was in the shape of a heart and was even beating like a heart. 𝗳𝓇ℯe𝓌𝚎𝚋𝓃𝚘𝚟𝘦𝑙.𝑐𝚘𝙢

The difference between it and a normal heart was that it was made of ice crystals. There were layers of ice crystals on it, and it looked very spectacular.

It was crystal clear and carried glittering colors, seeming enchanting to the eyes.

In the surroundings, there was an unceasing flow of frost elements gathering toward the heart.

They lit up the surroundings with a dazzling light, which was extremely beautiful.

For a moment, Lu Yuan was stunned by the scene.

This was simply a miracle!

It was like it was naturally born to exist as such.

No wonder this place was called the Frost Worship Ground.

So this was what they were worshipping here.

If it wasn’t that Lu Yuan’s current strength was a little lacking, he might have even thought of taking this thing away.

Cough cough, just borrowing it to admire.

But Lu Yuan did not act rashly, because in between him and the heart, there were many giant frost ape kings. Just a rough headcount totaled up to more than a dozen of them.

There was even one with golden fur in the middle. It looked even more advanced and powerful.

It was not something that Lu Yuan could afford to offend.

These giant frost ape kings seemed to be worshipping the heart formed from frost crystals!

It was simply a mysterious phenomenon.

Without thinking too much about it, Lu Yuan quickly filled in the last 3% of the map and left.

It wouldn’t do him any good to take another look anyway.

However, at this time, Lu Yuan realized that he could not directly return to the city and leave this place.

It was as if there was some kind of restriction, so he was only left with the choice of walking out with his two feet.

Lu Yuan’s heart was filled with ten thousand f*cking curses.

Since this was the case, he had to slowly inch his way out again.

...

After waiting for the cooldown of Shadow Following skill for God knows how many times, and feeling tired to the point of death, Lu Yuan finally exited the Frost Cave.

“Damn it! This mission is simply a scam! If that damned Solaka doesn’t give me any benefits, that’ll be too ridiculous!”

At this time, the sky outside had already lit up slightly.

Some of the residents of Amber City had woke up and started their day’s activities, the city gradually became lively.

Soon, Lu Yuan returned to Rogge’s Magic Research Institute.

Lu Yuan pushed the door open and entered. He saw that Rogge and Solaka were still here.

Solaka looked calm and composed, while Rogge was cursing.

At first glance, the two of them looked like enemies.

Seeing Lu Yuan walking in, Solaka couldn’t help but smile.

“I didn’t expect you to be back so soon! I’m so very shocked!”

Lu Yuan was full of anger from his experience in the Frost Cave and did not bother to hide his long face when facing Solaka.

He directly threw the magic scroll that recorded the map to Solaka.

“The map is recorded here. Take a look for yourself. I should have completed the mission.”

Solaka took the map that Lu Yuan threw to him and eagerly checked it.

After opening the magic scroll, he saw that it was indeed a map of the Frost Worship Ground.

In the deepest part of the area on the map, there was even a record of the Heart of Frost.

As Solaka looked on, he showed an excited expression.

“That’s right! This is it! Come, kid, this is your reward.”

With a wave of Solaka’s hand, a golden light went into Lu Yuan’s body.

[Congratulations to the player for completing the hidden mission — Investigate the Frost Worship Ground!]

[Obtained 1,500 EXP! Obtained 20 gold coins! Obtained Solaka’s gift!]

His EXP bar only moved forward by a bit. As his level increased, the EXP required to level up also gradually increased.

It was unlike the beginning, where one could advance several levels in a row with every mission completed.

Lu Yuan checked his backpack.

He found that Solaka’s gift was a random potion.

[Solaka’s Gift]

[Description]: Solaka has meticulously refined many high-quality potions. Do you want to know what’s inside? Just open it and you’ll know.

Lu Yuan opened it straight away.

[Congratulations to the player for obtaining the potion — Hot-blooded Potion * 5!]

[Hot-blooded Potion]

[Rarity] : Blue

[Level] : Level 10

[Effect]: Upon usage, the player’s attack power will be increased by 30% for 120 seconds, while defense power will be reduced by 30%. Disappears after use.

[Description]: A potion that Solaka specially developed for powerful warriors. It can increase one’s attack power for a certain period of time, but the price is that one’s defense power will also be reduced accordingly. After all, the best attack is the best defense.

After Lu Yuan finished reading all this, he could not help but look at Solaka.

Damn it! You’re only giving me this?! Doesn’t your conscience hurt?!

Lu Yuan knew that he had been cheated by Solaka again!

What kind of reward was this?

This potion did not seem to have any effect at all!

It was simply a scam!

Seemingly to have sensed Lu Yuan’s gaze, Solaka said with a smile, “How is it? You’re satisfied with the reward, no?”

Lu Yuan cursed at him, “If I accept any other one of your missions, I’m a dog!”

Rogge ignored the grudge between Lu Yuan and Solaka.

He asked appropriately at the right time, “What did the investigation find?”
