This thing was not very stable, especially when concentrated in a bottle, it was just like a ticking time bomb. It would be better for him to deliver it to the queen sooner rather than later.

After all, if any mishap happened, it wouldn’t be easy for Li Yao to sneak into the Temple of the Moon God to gather this lake water again. Naturally, the blame would fall on him.

Blue Moon Power, while not often utilized by the temple, was filled with a curse. The disaster of the werewolves gave the Ancient Elves a profound lesson.

But this didn’t mean they allowed others to exploit this forbidden power. The fugitive they were looking for last night was near Blue Moon Lake, and the energy of the lake had significantly decreased the next day. It would inevitably be found out. The blame would naturally be pinned on this fugitive.

In the same laboratory, the Queen felt the mysterious energy fluctuations in the bottle, nodded in satisfaction, and said: “I knew I was right about you. I didn’t expect you to complete it so quickly and without any damage.”

Then she muttered under her breath: “Is the defense of the Temple of the Moon this lax now? You actually filled up a whole bottle. I had only expected a third.”

Li Yao was upset, this queen was really unreliable. But there was nothing he could do, the situation was pressing. Besides, he had to rely on her concerning many things in the future.

Although the queen was a bit arrogant and unreliable, developing a close relationship with a world boss at such a low level was worth any price.

Every other world boss was comparable to the queen in status, but securing a task from them was wishful thinking. The current players did not have this privilege in their eyes.

Standing a step ahead by linking up with the Queen was an enormous advantage despite the high-difficulty tasks at this stage. It was only fitting for a world boss to assign difficult tasks, too easy assignments would be a joke.

This was also an invisible threshold. If you failed to meet the Queen’s expectations, naturally, you would be disqualified.

“Cough, look, I’ve completed the task. Shouldn’t you reward me now?” Li Yao reminded, pretending he hadn’t heard her muttering.

“Of course, your reward is guaranteed. Why are you in such a hurry?” The Queen shifted her gaze, showing no concern, and said: “At your current stage, I can teach you two skills, one active and one passive, which do you choose?”

Li Yao was cursing inside—could the task reward be changed? But he put on a serious face. Clearly, this was another concealed test from the Queen.

She didn’t need to make small talk with him with her status. If she were to teach a skill, she could just do it directly. However, by letting him choose, it was clearly a test and assessment.

Of course, although this test wouldn’t affect his ability to learn the skill, it would affect the Queen’s impression of him. If his answer aligns with the Queen’s thinking, her favorability towards him would certainly increase.

Li Yao pondered for a while before saying: “I choose passive.”

“Alright.” The Queen’s eyes flashed, and she touched his forehead with her finger.

Li Yao knew he had passed this test. In fact, this test was just a question.

The question the Queen wanted to ask was, at this stage, between an active skill and passive skill, which would provide a greater upgrade for Li Yao.

The first thing Li Yao thought of was that he wouldn’t be able to learn an ultimate or super skill at this stage. Furthermore, his attack power was already high. Having an extra active skill wouldn’t make much of a difference, especially when compared with a passive skill.

Passive skills might seem insignificant, but they were very impactful, especially ones suited for him—they offered more than just a slight improvement.

After sensing the passive skill he had learned, Li Yao felt more certain of his judgment.

A golden light enveloped Li Yao. After completing so many quests, especially this high-experience one, Li Yao leveled up to Level 16.

Due to the competition, the leveling up of players had accelerated, but Li Yao was still far ahead.

“This passive skill is special. It doesn’t enhance attack power or any specific attribute, but it’s one of my trump cards. How much you understand and how freely you can use it depends entirely on you.” The Queen smiled slightly.

“Thank you, Queen.” Li Yao was sincerely grateful. This skill, although passive, was also absolutely one of the most powerful. He had long been yearning for it, but in his mind…

To obtain this skill, maybe Level 20 would be an opportunity. If he couldn’t get it at Level 20, he would have to wait till Level 45 or so.

Level 20 was a stage of metamorphosis. Many elite professions and powerful talents started from Level 20. It was a watershed.

For example, to truly become a Mechanical Hunter, Li Yao needed to reach Level 20.

At present, the Mechanical Hunter seemed to play a small role, but once he reached Level 20, it would be the initiation of the Hunter’s power. The true Mechanical Torrent would start to build up from that time.

“Solo Combo Skill—you can combine two skills for use. Different skill combinations will yield different results, either good or bad effects.”

Before, Li Yao could only use Charged Arrow with a few select skills, but that was due to the nature of the Charged Arrow, not because he could combine skills. Having this passive skill meant he could combine any skills.

“It’s not so simple to utilize Combo Skills. I have mastered it, but I don’t want to tell you. Only when you comprehend it yourself can you use it with ease. You should understand.” The Queen withdrew her finger.

“I understand.”

Li Yao did understand. For instance, parents often tell their children what is right, but without first-hand experience, the child may not believe or agree. Only by secretly trying and experiencing things first-hand does one truly learn.

“Cough, if there’s nothing else, I’ll go complete the second task.” Li Yao could hardly hold back his desire to experiment with the combo technique.

“Wait, who said you’re done?” The Queen released her hand, and the bottle carrying the lake water floated back to Li Yao. “Do you know why the Temple of the Moon couldn’t detect this bottle? That’s because it has been sealed by me as your personal item. It bears your soul’s protection, no one but you can use it. Now, pour out the lake water.”

Li Yao had a moment of realization, but also felt like ten thousand mud horses were rushing past. To empty such a small bottle was, indeed, torture. But he had no choice. Curb his feelings, he had to carefully get the contents out. At least he could comfort himself: he had received a Space Container…
