“Haste makes waste; maybe I should change my approach?” David Jones
murmured softly.
“Buzz, buzz, buzz!” The vibrating sound of the phone on the table interrupted
David’s thoughts.
“Guildmaster Maud?” Seeing the information displayed on the screen, a look of surprise came over David’s face.
“It’s already ten o’clock at night, and he still needs something from me! Could there be any new progress in the Dungeon?”
With that thought, a hint of doubt flashed in David’s eyes before he answered the phone.
“The Relic in the Mountain Southshore Dungeon has been confirmed, and it’s not closely related to the True Dragon,” Gavin Maud said bluntly.
Wen Yan, David awkwardly smiled and said nothing.
The Trainer Guild’s investigation results were more or less what he had
expected.
There was indeed once a True Dragon in the Mountain Southshore Dungeon,
but it was most likely dead by now.
Otherwise, where would Lolo have gotten her Dragon Ball!
“However, the information you provided is very valuable. Through the Guild’s search over this period, we also discovered some jade Dragon Scales buried underground,” Guildmaster Maud said with a smile.
“So, in addition to awarding you 100 Contribution Points, the Guild also intends to recommend you to participate in the Sunbeam Province Trainer Competition,” he said solemnly.
“Wait, is it the annual Trainer Competition in Sunbeam Province?” David frowned, unable to suppress his interruption.
He gladly accepted the too Contribution Points. As for the competition, whoever wants to go, let them go!
David had heard about this Trainer Competition in school.
Every year, during this period, Sunbeam Province would hold one, and a student from Waterland’s Second School had died due to this competition a year ago.
As a result, the competition was called the “Death Competition” by the students
in Waterland’s Second School.
This Trainer Competition was much more dangerous than the Beastmaster s Examination, and at least no deaths had occurred since the beginning of the examination.
Moreover, students participating in this competition had to sign a safety responsibility commitment.
David did not want to get involved in such dangerous matters, now he just wanted to grow steadily!!!
“This is a Once in a Blue Moon opportunity, don’t you want to participate in the Trainer Competition?” Guildmaster Maud asked with a puzzled tone.
The Trainer Competition was open to all subordinate cities within Sunbeam Province, with a total of 100 new Trainers participating.
Even the Waterland Trainer Guild currently had only secured three recommendation slots.
“My cultivation is at a critical stage now, so let this valuable opportunity go to other Trainers,” David declined.
What a joke, treating a Death Competition slot as a reward, I don’t believe you!
“Don’t worry, the competition won’t start until half a month from now, Guildmaster Maud continued to persuade.
Other new Trainers in Waterland City did not have the same strength as David.
David firmly refused: “Sorry, I really don’t have the time to participate.”
Guildmaster Maud fell silent, not expecting David to refuse.
The ranking of this Trainer Competition was very important, even more crucial to Gavin Maud than David participating in the Beastmaster’s Examination.
As long as the participating students were strong, the city with a higher ranking would receive more Pet Resources next year.
But the Beastmaster’s Examination was different, as its reach was very wide. Unless Waterland City could produce several new Trainers who were admitted to the Flowery Kingdom’s Big Five this year, it would be difficult for him to gain support from the top.
No way around it, compared to other cities, Waterland City was simply too poor and remote!
In particular, the students recommended by the Guild in recent years had not achieved good results in the competition, which resulted in a gradual reduction of Pet Resources allocated by the provincial Trainer Guild.
However, this year, Waterland City had finally produced David, a gifted individual, and he did not want to miss this rare opportunity.
“I made an incredibly tough Dragon Scale Soft Armor from the Dragon Scales in the Dungeon. As long as you participate in this competition, this Soft Armor will be given to you,” Guildmaster Maud said begrudgingly.
“Guildmaster Maud, can you provide more details about this competition?
David asked, letting down his guard.
If the risks of this competition were not high, there was no harm in
participating.
If the death rate was too high, then sorry, he couldn’t participate!
A protective armor like that would only be used for saving lives.
With his current potential, he would not risk his life for a piece of precious armor.
He could distinguish such obvious matters!
“With your strength, you can easily dominate this competition,” Guildmaster Maud said, word by word, clearly showing his confidence in David.
“But I heard that this competition is called the Death Competition, and you also have to sign a death responsibility statement before participating!” David asked with a hint of doubt in his tone.
“Who told you about this Death Competition?” Guildmaster Maud said somewhat angrily.
“The full name of the Trainer Competition is Sunbeam Province’s Citywide Union Trainer Athletic Competition. Each city selects the best new Trainers to enter the Dungeon to compete for rankings and demonstrate the strength of each city’s new generation,” he explained.
“This Trainer Competition has been held for decades. There was only one death a year ago, and it was self-inflicted by the participant. Where did you hear the nickname Death Competition?” Guildmaster Maud was rather frustrated.
How annoying! To think this damned rumor would cost him a set of Dragon Scale Soft Armor!
“I heard it while I was in school!” David couldn’t help but cough lightly.
Rumors could be deadly, he had previously thought it was some perilous Den of Dragons and Tiger’s Lairs!
Wen Yan, Guildmaster Maud immediately understood, and his face became somewhat strange.
No wonder, David was a new Trainer from Waterland’s Second School, and that person’s junior.
Last year, that student’s death was quite unique, and its impression on Guildmaster Maud lasted until now.
He even sealed off the news to preserve the dignity of the deceased, only informing the family of the cause of death.
Guildmaster Maud sighed quietly: “I didn’t expect the news to spread like this; how fearsome rumors can be!”
“In that case, why do the participants still have to sign a death responsibility statement?” David continued to voice his doubts.
Guildmaster Maud explained, “Inside the Dungeon, a professional security team will be responsible for monitoring and ensuring safety. As long as you stay vigilant, virtually no problems will arise. The death responsibility statement you all sign is simply to prevent some Trainers who deliberately court death.”
“By the way, have you heard of the Dragoon Seamus Coldwell?” Guildmaster Maud suddenly changed the subject.
“I’ve heard of him.” David nodded.
[Dragoon Seamus Coldwell, Epic Dragoon, Guardian Nation’s Great General during the period of nations’ struggle, held the solitary city for several days with his own strength, resisting millions of powerful armies]
Being a native of Waterland City, David didn’t even need to think, and could casually mention a few idioms related to Seamus Coldwell.
Guildmaster Maud then threw out his trump card, “As long as you rank in the top three in this Trainer Competition, you will qualify to enter the Heritage Relic of Seamus Coldwell.”
This sudden news made David slightly stunned.
When did this happen?
Sunbeam Province Trainer Guild had already discovered the Heritage Relic of Seamus Coldwell!
