Along the coast of the Grand Sea.
Char stretched himself lazily as he looked at the backs of the crowd in the distance who were surrounding Sylvia nervously and walking away towards the Grand Duke's residence.
In his mind, lines of blue text were flashing rapidly.
[Novice Mission Stage 3: Make the Archduke's Daughter Silvia's favorability exceed 30 points. Mission goal has been achieved]
[Current mission target favorability: 52/30 (trust)]
[Task rewards have been settled]
[Based on the host's overall performance in this mission phase, the following mission rewards are issued: 100,500 free experience points, 3 skill seeds]
"Anyway, it's finally done."
"It's worth it that I have prepared for this stage of the mission for so long and put so much effort into it."
...
...
Xia Ya rubbed his brows and threw the two thick books, "How to Get Along with the Opposite Sex (Beginner's Edition)" and "Introduction to Psychology", into Shanshan's space pocket.
There was no way. Whether before or after the time travel, he had never actively pursued the opposite sex. He was a complete passive otaku.
Asking him to take the initiative to pursue female characters is really asking too much.
You can only copy others and learn on paper and apply it now.
Fortunately, Xia Yana's communication skills, which he had learned through last-minute tutoring, did not show any weakness, and his performance on the spot was perfect.
Of course, although those conversations between him and Sylvia were prepared in advance, they were indeed what he had in mind.
From the perspective of a 21st century time traveler, atrocities like witch hunting were something Char would despise.
His eyes swept across the lines of system prompts, reading the information contained therein.
According to the description given on the system panel, a favorability level of 30 points falls into the realm of "acquaintance".
If this is your goal, then you only need to find opportunities to interact more with Sylvia in the Duke's Mansion and spend a few days getting to know her better, and you can achieve your goal.
However, if this is really done, then both the task evaluation and the final task reward will only be the minimum value.
It was for this reason that Char planned such an encounter on the shore of the Grand Sea on a winter night, risking the pollution of dusk, and successfully raised Sylvia's favorability to the "trust" stage.
This is a level that cannot be achieved no matter how many times you try to recognize the face.
If the favorability is more than ten points higher and reaches the level of confidant, then even if a request for negative distance contact is made, one will have to hesitate before politely rejecting it.
In the end, the rewards issued by the system did not disappoint Char.
Needless to say, 100,000 free experience points are enough to upgrade several high-level skills to "perfect" proficiency with some left over.
At this moment, it is just right to fill the gaps in the proficiency of Shanshan's other skills.
In addition, at this moment, Char is not too far away from opening up the third soul contract, and the supplement of 100,000 free experience points is a timely relief.
However, compared to the foreseeable massive amount of free experience points.
Another item in the mission reward - "Skill Seeds*3" surprised Char even more.
The function of the skill seed is not to improve the proficiency of the pet's skills.
Instead, it allows pets to acquire new skills.
Not only can you learn skills across racial boundaries.
In fact, after enough deduction and practice, it is even possible to create a completely new skill.
Char had only obtained a few skill seeds before, and used them to help Gin learn the "Tsukuyomi" that formed the foundation of his ability system.
Getting three points at once this time was a pleasant surprise.
"With three skill seeds, Silver's offensive skills can also be improved on schedule."
"After all, we already have Tsukuyomi, so it would be a pity not to add Amaterasu to pair it with."
"In addition, there are many practical skills in Shanshan's space system waiting to be learned..."
"However, no matter how we make up for their shortcomings, Shining and Silver are still pets that mainly serve as support and control."
"I think so... For my third soul contract, I should choose a pet that has enough frontal combat capabilities."
As his thoughts flashed, Char noticed the new hint that had emerged in his mind. [The status of the novice mission has been updated]
[Mission Objective 4: Complete the Coming-of-Age Ceremony of the Grand Duke Cang Ting Family, become a core member of the family through the Coming-of-Age Ceremony, and truly join Elder Norton's plan.]
[The remnants of history - the first node of "Ancient Cang Ting Kingdom" has arrived]
[The current historical node has been locked. Please choose to exit the historical reverberation or stay to complete the mission goal.]
"Sure enough, it's pretty much what I expected."
"With Sylvia losing control so many times, that old Biden bastard Norton should be getting restless soon."
Looking at the information on the system panel, Xia nodded slightly.
"Besides, we should have reached the save point of "Remnants of History". "
After staying in the "Echoes of History" for a few days, Char also gained some understanding of this unknown secret realm.
It was not as he had initially guessed, a picture that could only be seen but not touched...
Every character that appears in this historical remnant is clearly no different from real living beings.
Compared to the so-called "reflection in the lake".
This place, on the contrary, seems more like a real world lost in the long river of history.
Of course, these are just Char's guesses and remain to be verified.
Char did not hesitate and chose to leave the Reverberations of History.
He had already received the message that Shanshan had conveyed through the soul contract. This time and space had already begun to reject it, and it could not stay there for too long.
Moreover, the little golden monkey also sensed that this historical echo had left a mark on them.
If you want to enter again in the future, you don’t need to be in the Cang Ting ruins, but you can enter from anywhere.
On the other hand, given Char's personality, he didn't want to rashly challenge the fourth stage mission.
He now needs time to digest the gains from this mission and turn them into his own.
In this world full of extraordinary beings, if you want to live longer, your own strength is your only real reliance.
…
With a twisted feeling of dizziness, Char woke up in the ruins.
He looked at the mechanical clock that had been placed beside him. The scale on the clock showed that only more than an hour had passed since he entered.
There is no doubt that the remnants of history and the present world are two completely independent and different time and space.
Char didn't stay for too long, but left the Pale Hills directly with the help of Shanshan's "Flash".
He did not forget that when the echoes of history revived here, there were roars and earthquakes, which was quite lively.
I'm afraid it won't be long before powerful military officers from the nearby imperial army come here to investigate.
Although his use of political donations to obtain archaeological rights in the Gray Hills was undoubtedly traceable to those official powerful people, Char did not want to come into contact with official personnel without any preparation.
An hour later, Char was already on the steam train leaving Resa City and heading for the imperial capital.
He saw a giant black dragon galloping across the sky.
Also, there was the slender figure standing on top of the black dragon.
"This is a black-scaled Asian dragon that is exclusive to the Royal Breeding Institute. Judging from its size, it should have surpassed the limit of a king."
"A title-level beastmaster from the imperial military?"
Char raised an eyebrow.
The historical echoes of the ancient country of Cang Ting.
It seems like some big shots have been provoked.
