Chapter 12 Language Proficiency

"So that's how it is."

By the stream, Adam sat there alone.

The ground in front of him was etched with some strange patterns, drawn by him.

They were phonetics and phonetic symbols written based on his past experiences.

Adam believed these things could aid him in learning this world's language.

Indeed, they were helpful.

But not much.

Difficulties still arose when they were supposed to.

The problem persisted.

But it wasn't too significant.

Adam looked ahead.

On the character interface, the talent of Language Proficiency was still there.

And its effects were pretty clear.

In the past, Adam did try dedicatedly to learn languages, but each time, the result wasn't so fruitful, it felt like deciphering cryptic scriptures.

But what about now?

Now the effect was remarkable.

Since he had upgraded his bloodline, awakening the Language Proficiency talent, Adam noticed changes in himself.

In his ears, the seemingly unorganized language of those around him began to exhibit discernible patterns—he slowly started to understand some of it.

Gradually, he had some insights into everyday phrases and their meanings.

The entire process was a lot easier and quicker than before.

This made Adam quite excited, and he's been engrossed in studying it since then.

While he immersed himself in his studies, others watched him quietly from the sidelines.

A little distance away, Luman Thomas and his companion watched the nearly sleep-deprived Adam, with a sideways glance.

They exchanged a glance and each saw astonishment in the other's eyes.

"Don't you think, Mr. Knight seems somewhat changed?"

The player called Yone Jones, who was Luman's companion, took the initiative to speak, uncertainly.

"Yeah."

Luman too had this feeling and nodded, somewhat puzzled: "He seems to have become more handsome?"

"Exactly, that's the feeling!"

Upon hearing Luman's words, Yone realized the change all of a sudden: "He's actually become a lot handsomer!"

"Seven or eight days ago, he started to look different, becoming handsomer."

Once Yone mentioned it, both had a sudden revelation.

Yes, indeed.

The old Adam was also good looking, but only marginally superior to the average person, and could be described as elegant.

However, lately, he has grown increasingly handsome.

It gives the impression of a second development.

Of course, the actual changes are more than just that.

But changes in appearance were undoubtedly the most noticeable.

These transformations stemmed from his bloodline's metamorphosis.

With the metamorphosis of his bloodline, all of Adam's various attributes were also changing, undergoing metamorphosis once more.

His looks were also spontaneously optimized, completely transforming.

However, quite evidently, Adam himself didn't heed these changes and remained engrossed in studying the world's language.

He could ignore it, but Luman and Yone could not.

They both considered Adam to be an integral character.

To them, he was a major leg up for the future—they had to firmly latch onto him.

In these recent times, because of Adam, they had gained considerable benefits. Under such circumstances, they were deeply concerned with Adam's affairs.

"Has he matured?"

Luman voiced his suspicion, "Looking at him, he seems like a 15-16 years old child, the age when we were still in school.

"Changes are normal for children of this age."

Discussing this, both felt somewhat woeful.

A child of 15-16 years, in their world, would still be attending school, being just a young child.

However, in this world, kids of this age had already picked up their long swords, battling those fierce demonic creatures.

The difference was indeed enormous.

"His progress in learning the common language is pretty swift. At this rate, it might not be too long before he masters the common tongue."

Yone voiced, soon followed by a worry, "If he masters the common language, he might not need us by his side anymore?"

Since both of them had entered the Noah World, these days had been the most comfortable period for them.

They didn't need to worry about many things or fight against the terrifying demonic creatures in the wild. They simply had to stay by his side and benefit. They not only obtained many resources but also acted as his servants and thus, received remuneration from Derley.

Even through Adam's identity as a guardian, they had begun to try their hand at trading. If all went well, there would soon be outcomes.

But their current status was built on the condition, where Adam couldn't understand the language and needed them to communicate with the outside world.

The townsfolk nearby considered them to be Adam's servants, hence treated them differently, and dared not find fault.

But if Adam mastered the common language and could communicate with everyone, would they still be of much use?

"What are you afraid of?"

Upon hearing Yone's worry, Luman chuckled, not considering it to be something worth worrying about, "We have always been with him, that's an advantage."

"Furthermore, we aren't tricking anyone, so why be afraid?"

"As long as we are efficient, even the strongest of knights would require attendants."

Even the most powerful knights are only stronger when it comes to battling.

But that's not necessarily the case in other aspects.

So, as long as Luman and Yone were capable, their position as attendants was secure.

After all, everyone needs skilful and familiar aide.

"Judging from the past circumstances, he is most likely a professional."

Luman looked towards the distant Adam, softly voicing his thoughts, "As for if we can acquire a Job Transfer Certificate from him, that depends on our skills."

In their eyes, Adam was definitely a professional.

Not only because of Adam's terrifying combat skills, but the previous mission description also made it quite clear.

In the previous task description, there was a "Knight" prefix in Adam's introduction.

This was different from the other ordinary characters.

Luman and Yone had also made time to check forums and had never seen a similar situation.

From this perspective, there's no doubt that Adam is a professional.

"If we can secure the Job Transfer Certificate and successfully transfer jobs, we would certainly have the upper hand."

Luman and Yone shared a glance, both seeing the excitement in the other's eyes.

According to their knowledge, though the number of players entering the Noah World was vast, with at least tens of millions, there doesn't seem to be any news of anyone possessing a Job Transfer Certificate as of now.

If they could successfully transfer jobs and become the first batch of professionals amongst players, they would truly make a fortune.
