How to Learn Leadership

However, Gu Xi did not make a decision based on the Black Robe Skeleton's words. Instead, he asked seriously, "Will you teach anything else?"

"Yes, what do you want to learn? Destruction, chaos, light, order? I only know these four types of magic."

Herbalism, Potionology, and alchemy—I know them all.

Daggers, short swords, and exotic weapons—these are all I know in physical combat.

There's probably nothing suitable for you to learn about the undead, since you already have a fairly good grasp of that area.

Upon hearing Gu Xi's question, the Black Robe Skeleton immediately began to speak.

His skills seemed simpler than those that required special methods to learn.

This caught Gu Xi's attention. Gu Xi had heard of destruction and chaos magic before, as its attributes were similar to Undead Magic and Dark Magic.

However, these cannot compare to the leadership skills and logistics techniques mentioned earlier.

If you want to study further, Potionology and alchemy are good choices.

But those all come after leadership skills.

Right now, Gu Xi is most concerned about learning leadership skills.

After hesitating for a moment in front of the Black Robe Skeleton, Gu Xi decisively said, "Never mind the rest, learn the leadership technique first. You have to guarantee that I can learn the leadership technique, otherwise I will not let you off easy even if I tear this place down."

"Don't worry about that. Our academy always says we'll teach well if we say we'll teach, and there won't be any problems. Are you sure you want to learn leadership skills first?"

Gu Xi glanced back at the road he had come from, and just then, the train passed right where he had boarded.

However, Gu Xi only glanced at it before saying definitively, "I'm sure, I want to learn leadership skills."

"Very good. If you want to learn leadership skills, then I have to tell you about the four treasures of our academy. Our academy is divided into four departments, each marked by a reindeer, a bat, a mountain leopard, and a crocodile."

Our department's representative animal is the reindeer, which is in charge of logistics studies. Its original treasure was a pair of reindeer antler racks, which not only allowed people to learn logistics studies immediately, but also doubled the size of everyone's backpacks.

The leadership skills you need to learn are those from the Crocodile Department. They used to keep a giant crocodile in the lake in front of the college, and that crocodile had a sword stuck in its head.

You don't need to draw the sword; just find the crocodile, touch the sword, and you can learn leadership skills.

The Bat Department possesses the Pathfinding; they wear a cloak that allows them to be transported to the sky.

Once you can control the cloak to fly back, you'll have mastered the Pathfinding.

The department that stole all the treasures was the Mountain Leopard Department. Their treasure was a cup, and obtaining the cup meant receiving good luck.

"So, learning leadership skills now is like going to a lake to find a crocodile whose fate is unknown?"

"No, back then, the professor from the Mountain Leopard Department stole three treasures from the other three departments. He put our three treasures into a cup, fused them together, and then drank it down in one gulp."

Now that we've lost all our treasures, if we want to learn leadership skills, we need to start from another angle.

Go find something for me. If you can find it, you'll learn leadership skills.

After speaking, the Black Robe Skeleton stretched out his hand, and a rather peculiar white herb appeared in front of Gu Xi.

This herb grows in three clumps, but each clump has only one leaf, with a small Skull Flower growing at the very top of the leaf.

"It's this kind of herb. If you follow the railway tracks straight ahead, you'll see a fault line in a valley. There you'll find this Skull Flower. If you pick ten of them, you can learn the art of leadership."

Gu Xi glanced at the Black Robe Skeleton.

"I'm not well-educated, so don't try to fool me. After gathering herbs, I was supposed to be studying herbal medicine, not leadership skills."

"You can just go directly; you'll definitely come back with leadership skills."

"I don't believe you unless you give me a mission."

[Ding! At your request, you have activated a Temporary Task!]

[Temporary Task: Flowers Bloom from Bones]

[Task Description: Collect ten special Skull Flower]

[Task Requirement: Collect Skull Flower (0/10)]

[Task Reward: Basic Skill - Leadership]

[Note: This is an opportunity for the undead to learn leadership skills.]

As soon as Gu Xi finished speaking, he heard a "ding" sound in his ear.

The Temporary Task requested by Gu Xi popped up.

After glancing at the mission description and requirements, Gu Xi replied affirmatively, "Accept."

Seeing that Gu Xi had accepted the mission, the Black Robe Skeleton grinned and said, "It's good that you accepted the mission. By the way, here's a map. These locations will be quite dangerous, so be careful."

There are also many hidden quests within these mountains and forests. You can check them out yourself. Don't underestimate these quests; sometimes, even ordinary Temporary Task can be a good thing for you.

After speaking, the Black Robe Skeleton retreated back into the giant Skeleton's body, letting the giant Skeleton shrink back into the ground.

Just as the giant Skeleton was about to bury itself, the Black Robe Skeleton seemed to remember something else. "Oh, right, when you come back, remember to use a Summoning again. Normally, no matter how long you call here, you can't wake me up."

Hearing this, Gu Xi was speechless. Was this guy trying to get away with his Summoning for nothing? But before he could say anything more, the giant Skeleton had already buried itself, and everything returned to normal.

Gu Xi had no choice at this point. He glanced at the map and then handed it to the Evil Coffin.

For Gu Xi right now, the most important thing is to complete the task and acquire the leadership skills first.

As for the other tasks, we'll have to Gu Xi until Gu Xi gets his most important thing.

He can't possibly abandon learning leadership skills and go off to learn something else.

After taking the map, the Evil Coffin automatically began analyzing the map's routes.

Although some of the terrain in the mountains cannot be drawn in detail on a map, many places are shown on the map.

For example, a train running back and forth between mountains and lakes might not be known without a Gu Xi that there are two different train stations in such a short distance.

However, there is a big X mark next to the location of the two train stations, which clearly means that the two train stations have either disappeared or no longer exist.

Additionally, on the edge of the great lake, there is an abandoned castle marked as dangerous and unapproachable.

However, Gu Xi had a feeling that everything drawn on the map was clearly meant to tell the person who got the map, "Hurry up and go here, you'll find what you're looking for here."
