"We're here." Shi Fan began to his surroundings upon arriving at a bright scenery before him. Like the description says the place is filled with young grasses that have the density of glasses which is slight glowing with a silver hue. The most valuable among them are those whose flowers have bloomed which is the main ingredient for the Mirror Potion.

He began exploring the area even the place is dark because it is obviously night and with the slight silver glow it is hard to notice the traps easily however unlike others as he had someone helping him.

"Hey kid, there's a pitfall trap 2 meters away. Move to the right."

"You fool you almost stepped on that beartrap. You wanna take a trip to the cathedral?"

Seeing as this place is good money he also planned to make money on this trip. He began plucking Glass Grasses along the way.

"Dont pluck that it's still young."

Shi Fan still plucked it up.

"I TOLD YOU NOT TO!" Quan Shi angrily shouted.

-Gained Young Glass Grass.

"See?!" Quan Shi shouted again upon seeing the system notification. Quan Shi realized that he can also see Shi Fan's messages unlike before where he can only see the quests logs.

"Aiyaa you're right." Shi Fan smiled confirming that Quan Shi still didnt realize that he intended on plucking that young grass.

While plucking the grasses Shi Fan sees many butterfly like monsters that is floating around. The difference however is that it is around the size of a human and flies as well as the most dangerous part is that it spreads silver colored dusts. If adventurers or NPC's are exposed to long periods of time in the dust they will feel very drowsy and severly suffers in movement and attacking as their reaction times wither by the second until they gain the Sleep Debuff which is one of the most difficult debuffs to encounter.

Sleep Debuff restricts sensory movements as well as reaction time by a minimum of 90% while in fields. The easiest know cure is the Cleanse Spell of Clerics and the Debuff Shields of Buff Masters. The potion most commonly used is the Anti- Sleep potion as well as the Debuff Potions. Due to the increaseing debuffs monsters inflict to players as they encounter entities of higher ranks there are actually two side jobs that were made popular especially during raids. One is the On-Site Alchemists and the Inventory Specialist.

Alchemist may be great as they create miracles with their potions but they have one great flaw. They cannot be able to make potions during raids unlike forgers that can make and repair items inside. Seeing as the in demand for available potions during raids. The Council of the 3 Galaxies made two new special side jobs.

The On-Site Alchemists allows Alchemists which trained the job to brew potions inside raids with a decrease in success rate so it wont be unfrair to others.

One of the most special side jobs in the game is the Inventory Specialist They are adventurers with commonly little to no combat powers as they only deal in storing materials for forgers as well as herbs, scrolls and potions. They are always in demand especially in long raids or escorts as their addition increase the team's success in winning.

"Hey kid. Why not pick that flower under the tree. But be careful of a trap south of it. Seeing as Shi Fan still yet to notice the watchful gazes under him Quan Shi deliberately led Shi Fan into a spot where there is a nearby Freeze Lock trap. The reason why he didnt tell Shi Fan that he is being followed is that to gain experience especially in fields. Second is that his onlookers might notice if Shi Fan's guard tensed up the moment he told the truth.

Quan Shi might not deem Shi Fan that he is strong. He might also say that he is weak willed. But if there is one thing that he sees in Shi Fan that made him worth it to be with and the boy still havent realized it until today. That might his potential.

"The only way for people to realize their potentials is when they encounter difficulties." Quan Shi said silently.

"Hmmm?" Shi Fan noticing his master murmuring. He began walking towards the flowering plant. As he began to pluck it an arrow was fired from behind him and barely missed his head. Now the arrow and the Glass Grass are side by side.

Shi Fan looked behind him and sees 12 cloaked indivudals wielding different weapons.

"Who are you." Shi Fan shouted.

"
