Novel Full Chapter 312 Something Overlooked
Ding!
[You have unlocked the ability to upgrade your skills to the Uncommon rarity.]
Staring at the notification that had taken up a great portion of his focus, a slight frown formed on Valyr’s face as he began to rummage through his memories in search of places where he could obtain Skill Keys. ‘There’s quite a lot of places I could go to if the only thing I have to find is Common grade Skill Keys.’
‘The only problem is that I also need to get Uncommon grade ones.’ As the frown on his face gradually deepened while he continued to look through his memories, the expression on his face eventually eased up once he had listed down the closest places to him at the moment where he could get both Common grade and Uncommon grade Skill Keys.
“Huh. To think I’d come up with three spots to get them.” Going through the locations that fit the criteria in his mind, a soft chuckle escaped his mouth as he scrutinized them even further, taking into consideration the difficulty of obtaining the Skill Keys in that location, as well as its proximity to where he currently was at the moment.
“If that’s the case… then heading to Virifarr Desert is a no go.” Within seconds, Valyr had crossed out two of the three locations he had come up with, causing a bitter smile to replace the frown that adorned his face earlier. “Though the dungeon that contains the keys I want are considerably easier there, the journey there would take long.”
“Plus, it’s at the center of the desert, which is basically in the middle of nowhere.”
“On the other hand, there’s the Algerie Catacombs, which could be found at the outskirts of the city.” As these words came out of his mouth, Valyr let out a faint sigh before shaking his head. “It would have been worth going there if I were on the lookout for Epic grade Skill Keys, but the difficulty to effort ratio in getting Common and Uncommon grade Skill Keys is too much.”
“Which only leaves me with only one place to head to.”
“The Lesser Meltierre Mountains.” Though the place was still considerably far away from Algerie Kingdom, taking about half a week to get there on carriage, it was still within the lines of what Valyr could find tolerable, considering that heading from Clossbay City to where he was right now took more or less the same amount of time.
Of course, compared to Virifarr Desert, heading to the Lesser Meltierre Mountains instantly felt like the better choice among the two, considering that the former would take him almost two weeks to get there by even the fastest carriage he could get with his current wealth.
Aside from that, Valyr recalled that the Lesser Meltierre Mountains was considered an important location by the Meltierre Empire, prompting them to put up the necessary infrastructure that would streamline the process of entering and exiting the dungeons that contained the Skill Keys, even establishing a core city surrounding it.
After thinking about the place for a bit more, he eventually recalled that the empire was able to segregate the dungeon into various portions depending on the rarity of Skill Keys they dropped, which would speed up his process of getting the Skill Keys he wanted.
Making up his mind to head to the Lesser Meltierre Mountains sometime in the future, he then focused his attention onto the last notification on the list, which prompted him to take in a deep breath before letting out a long, low sigh.

[You have received the continuation of the world quest: The Future of Humanity.]
‘The first part of the world quest only needed to me to head to the Zeihardt clan’s estate,’ thought Valyr to himself as he pondered over the possible objectives for the second quest. ‘So, it would be safe to assume that the next quest would continue from there.’
‘I really hope I don’t have to sneak into the estate or something.’ Letting out a faint sigh at the thought that popped up in his mind, Valyr went ahead and brought up the description of the World Quest, only to be pleasantly surprised by the objective that was given to him.

‘Information gathering, huh.’ Once he was done reading through the objectives that he had to fulfill to complete the quest, Valyr inwardly let out a sigh of relief, thanking the heavens that he only had to gather information for now to complete it. Though he knew that having to head into the estate at some point was something that couldn’t be avoided, he hoped that such a quest would only appear once he was certain that he was strong enough to fend off against anything and everything that could fight against him.
‘Of course, I could just forget about this quest for now and get stronger, but that would be a waste of rewards.’
‘In any case, I never expected the quest to give me a tip on completing the quest objectives.’ Finding the note at the very bottom of the quest description both intriguing yet peculiar at the same time, Valyr eventually closed up the screen in front of him before letting out a faint sigh, satisfied with the improvement he had gained after ascending to Rank 2.
“I guess it’s time to make use of that massive amount of unused XP I still have and max all of my skills out before heading to the Lesser Meltierre Mountains.” Pondering over what he should do next, Valyr decided to use up his XP in preparation for the mass grind he would do for Skill Keys in the near future. Though, just as he had brought up his skill list to find out that he still had a lot of skills yet to be upgraded to their max level, a thought surfaced in his mind, causing him to exclaim not long after.
“Oh, right! The monster tide!”
