At Level 40, there would be a fork in the road for all seven major professions. Every profession would be divided into two paths. These two paths not only meant different skills, but would also adjust the initial attribute growth. Thus, after completing the profession change quest, the system would give a chance to reset the character's points, allowing the character to add points again.
When this rule was first announced, quite a number of players beat their chests and stamped their feet. If they had known that there would be a chance to reset their points, then they wouldn't have been so cautious in adding points. Quite a number of players kept half of their points, hoping that they would be able to add them where they needed them the most in the future. These people boasted of being experts with foresight. Now that this rule was announced, it was tantamount to suffering in silence. After all, adding half of their points would add a lot more difficulty to their leveling journey.
Now that things had come to this, there was no point in grumbling. Everyone had already begun to study the two paths of their profession.
The Warrior profession was divided into Heavy Warrior and Berserker Warrior. The former prioritized defense, and the Warrior's HP would be more prominent. The latter, on the other hand, would be reflected in the damage output, and would become a very powerful fighting force.
For Rogues, there would be two paths: Assassin and Godly Thief. The former would have greater damage output, while the latter would have an advantage in the traditional sneaky Rogues style.
Priests and Paladins, on the other hand, would be divided into Light and Dark. It was said that Light would continue to have a strong ability to support teammates, while Dark would have curse-type skills and spells.
For Fighters, there would be a difference between Fist Mages and Qi Masters. The former would continue to fight with their bare fists, while the latter, with the aid of powerful internal energy, was said to have area of effect damage that would not lose to Mages.
For Archers, there would be Godly Archers and Lurkers. Both maintained the characteristics of Archers, but the former would continue to have the advantage of long-range attacks, while the latter would have the ability to set traps.
Finally, there was the difference between Water and Lightning for Mages. From the officially announced skills, it seemed to be the most rigid division of professions. The main difference was that Water skills often had a freezing effect, while Lightning spells often had an electric effect. Other than that, there didn't seem to be any other professions that had such different paths. The most obvious proof was that Mages were the only profession that could completely follow the previous way of adding points based on intelligence.
The six members of the Childe Elite Group consisted of six major professions other than the Grandmaster of Combat. Currently, aside from Gu Fei, everyone else could go and change classes. However, as experts, they were still watching and weighing the pros and cons. As for whether or not he would suffer a loss like last time, only God knew.
After handing over the Wind-Chasing Coat of Arms to Yutian Shenming, he was in high spirits and was ready to go. Movement speed was extremely important for an archer. The most common "kiting" style of fighting required sufficient movement speed as a guarantee. When choosing an archer's equipment, shoes were more important than weapons. The Windchaser Boots were of such high quality, and it was obvious that they would be given to those who met the requirements of the quest. Yutian Shenming had already clenched his teeth and asked for a pair.
"But it's strange." Brother You said, "Your coat of arms and shoes came from the same quest system. Their names are so similar. Why isn't it a set?"
Set equipment would have green words and would activate the dark attribute. Gu Fei's pair was obviously not a set. Moreover, they weren't even Purple equipment, they were both Gold equipment.
Of course, Gu Fei didn't know about this. Yutian Shenming, on the other hand, was satisfied with the pair of shoes. He didn't care about anything else. After putting on the Wind-Chasing Coat of Arms, he said to Gu Fei, "Alright, I'm going to go do the quest now. I'll leave the leveling side to you."
"Wait? What do you mean by leveling up? "Gu Fei grabbed him.
"I'm bringing you reincarnated Amethyst girls to level every day! Now that I'm going to do a quest and you're going to level up, you can go in my place! I've already told them to meet me at 7: 15 in front of the East Gate Tavern. You should know them. Alright, I'm going. Don't forget! "Imperial Heaven Divine Ming disappeared in a puff of smoke after he finished speaking.
"Ah, it's already 7? I have to go too! "Unscathed In Battle looked at the time and immediately got up." I'm slow, I have to go early. "He mumbled as he got up.
"I'm going to start a party too. I'll go with you! "Brother You and Unscathed In Battle left together.
In the blink of an eye, three out of the six had left. Gu Fei looked around the room. Only Sword Demon and Han Family Young Master were left, his two closest comrades.
"What, you two should be going to join the party and level up, right? Why don't you guys help me lead that whatever party? "Gu Fei always trained alone. The task that Yutian Shenming gave him made him feel a lot of pressure.
"I've always trained alone." Sword Demon said.
"I never train at this time." Han Family Young Master said as he drank, "There are too many people." The time between dinner and bedtime was always the peak of the game.
Gu Fei sighed. It looked like he couldn't count on anyone this time. He could only brace himself.
He got up and changed into his flashy Night Spirit Robe. He slung the Night Flowing Light Sword on his back and put his hands in his pockets. Gu Fei also left.
"He's actually a Mage!" Han Family Young Master sighed as he watched Gu Fei leave.
At this time, the game had gone through a month of development. The black Mage robe wasn't something new anymore. Clothes weren't like weapons. High quality items would glow and normal people couldn't tell if they were good or bad. As for the glowing Night Flowing Light Sword, that was something that Gu Fei purposely revealed in hopes of attracting some bad people's attention. However, things didn't go as he wished. Those bandits that were after high quality equipment had all disappeared. Until now, no one had any ideas about Gu Fei.
As he walked towards the east gate, he saw a group of women gathered outside the tavern. Gu Fei looked at the time. It was 7: 10. He had arrived 5 minutes earlier than the agreed time. It was said that women liked to be late, but that didn't seem to be the case in the game!
He walked closer and counted. There were 9 people in total. He knew two of them, Ice Glaze and Luoluo. The other 3 looked familiar, but he had never seen the other 4 before.
After its official launch, Purple Crystal Rebirth grew rapidly. Moreover, it only accepted female players. As of now, there were 57 players, and Gu Fei was still the only male player.
July seemed to understand that Gu Fei didn't really get along with them. Normally, they would inform Gu Fei if they wanted to train together or do quests. However, they would always emphasize that it was up to him whether he wanted to come or not. Thus, Gu Fei casually said, "I'm used to training alone." From then on, July didn't bother him anymore.
He would occasionally bump into these girls on the streets, but most of them only looked familiar to Gu Fei. He didn't even know their names. He didn't dare to greet them on the streets, afraid that he might have mistaken them for someone else. Just like that, a month had passed. Gu Fei and Amethyst were like parallel lines that never intersected. Gu Fei was very curious as to how long Qiyue would be able to endure him, an existence that existed only in name.
Today, thanks to Yutian Shenming, Gu Fei was finally going to make contact with Amethyst.
As he approached the nine girls, Luoluo and Ice Glaze had their backs to him. The other four girls didn't know who Gu Fei was, while the other three looked at Gu Fei the same way Gu Fei looked at them. He looked familiar, but they didn't dare to greet him for fear of mistaking him for someone else.
"Ahem!" Gu Fei coughed behind Luoluo.
Luoluo turned around and saw Gu Fei. She smiled, "Yo, I didn't think I'd be able to invite you."
Gu Fei smiled, "Long time no see." He hadn't seen Luoluo for more than a month. In the game, this was enough for a pair of close friends to become strangers.
Luoluo pulled him to the girls, "Let me introduce everyone. This is Drunk Qianli!"
"Ah!" The four women exclaimed in surprise. Everyone thought that Amethyst, the only male player in the all-female guild, must have something special about him. Logically speaking, he either had an unusual relationship with one of the core members of the guild, or he had the heart of a woman despite looking like a male player.
However, after asking around, these two rumors were quickly overturned. Other than that, even people who knew Gu Fei like July and Luoluo didn't know much about him. On the other hand, the reincarnated Amethyst's two external helpers, Unscathed In Battle and Yutian Shenming, seemed to be close friends with him.
Many girls wanted to dig out information about Gu Fei from the two of them. However, the two of them were extremely sensitive in this regard. The girls were curious about Gu Fei and nervous, so it wasn't hard to imagine how they described Gu Fei.
The girls weren't stupid. After listening to them for a long time, they could tell that the two were just spouting nonsense. Hence, Gu Fei became even more mysterious.
Now that the mysterious person had suddenly appeared, the four new girls were a little excited. They almost came up to him to ask for his autograph.
"Just what kind of gossip does this guy have? We must dig it out!" the four girls thought. This was the spirit of female players. They didn't care much about other people's strength. They wanted to meet people with stories, interesting people.
"Since everyone's here, shall we go?" Luoluo said, sending Gu Fei a party invitation.
Gu Fei joined the party. Luoluo smiled, "Since you're filling in for Yutian, you'll be the leader!" After saying that, Luoluo handed over the party leader position to Gu Fei. Then, there was a series of system notifications, and the party was dispersed.
"What's going on?" The girls were confused.
"My Commander Value is only 1," Gu Fei replied calmly. In the parallel world, forming a party was not casual. There was an attribute of Commander Value that affected the number of people a person could lead when they were the party leader. For every 1 point of Commander Value, the party could add five players. Usually, when the party leader was leveling up or doing some quests, they could gain Commander Experience. Obviously, Gu Fei hadn't participated in these activities. He didn't meet the requirements for this current ten-person party.
The girls were in an uproar. A ten-person party only required 2 points, but Gu Fei didn't even have this. It was too shocking. He really wasn't an ordinary person. The four new girls were excited.
"Then I'll lead the team!" Luoluo had no choice but to form a new party.
Everyone headed towards the leveling area. Gu Fei walked at the back of the party. The four new girls gathered together and muttered. Then, they finally chose a representative and came to Gu Fei's side.
"Big Brother Qianli ~ ~" the girl called out.
"Just call me Qianli." Gu Fei broke out in a cold sweat. He was shocked by this form of address. Although this girl was indeed a little girl, the more it was like this, the more Gu Fei couldn't bear this form of address. Don't forget that Gu Fei was a teacher. A girl who looked like a student called her teacher "Big Brother" … Just by imagining it again, Gu Fei secretly vomited blood in his heart.
"Oh, Qianli ~ ~" the little girl called out again timidly.
"What's the matter?" Gu Fei asked while sneaking a glance at Luoluo in front of him.
Luoluo was also looking back. When she saw Gu Fei looking at her, she returned an ambiguous smile. At the same time, Gu Fei received a message. He opened it and saw that it was from Luoluo: "This little loli is very cute, right?"
"What are you talking about …" Gu Fei's head was full of sweat.
"Do you mind if I ask you a few questions?" the little girl said.
"Go ahead!" Gu Fei replied.
"When did you join Rebirth Amethyst?" the little girl asked.
"When it was first formed." Gu Fei said.
"Why did you join this girl's guild?"
"There weren't enough people, so I helped out." Gu Fei said.
"How come I don't usually see you?"
"Uh, I'm used to training alone." Gu Fei said.
"Are you familiar with Guild Leader July?"
"Just so-so!" Gu Fei said.
"Oh, thank you." The little girl said and returned to the group of four.
Gu Fei was at a loss. These questions, did they have any special meaning? To dig out the inside story from the ordinary, this kind of gossip spirit was something that Gu Fei obviously didn't understand.
Seeing the four little girls gathered together and whispering, occasionally glancing at him, Gu Fei felt a cold wind blow against his body. It really was a dangerous feeling. I don't know what they're planning, I have to pull one of them down with me. Gu Fei said and quickened his steps. He walked to the front of the group and walked together with Luoluo. He intentionally or unintentionally said: "Where are you going to train?"
"Cloud Valley." Luoluo said.
"Oh, I'm familiar with this place." Gu Fei said, "I've been training there for a month."
Luoluo was stunned. A month ago, everyone's level was 30. At that time, training in Cloud Valley meant that they had the strength to fight monsters ten levels higher than them. A Mage could actually solo train ten levels higher … Luoluo knew that Gu Fei wasn't simple, but she didn't think that he would be so strong. This should be something that only the top players in the game would have.
"Then where are you training now?" Luoluo asked curiously.
"Not really, I've been doing wanted quests." Gu Fei said. Normally, Gu Fei would spend around two hours a day farming monsters. Compared to Sword Demon and the others, Gu Fei really didn't think that this could be considered training. But if he told her where he was farming monsters, it would be enough to shock Luoluo to death.
Yunluo Peak was a level 60 leveling area. Normal players definitely wouldn't even go to a place like this.
"Wanted quests? Do you level up very quickly?" Luoluo asked curiously.
"No, I'm just playing around." Gu Fei said.
Gu Fei's level on the experience leaderboard of the parallel world had dropped a lot, but it wasn't obvious in Amethyst's Guild. Currently, he was still considered one of the upper echelons of the guild. The girls gossiped every day and didn't pay much attention to efficiency when training, so their leveling speed wasn't top-notch at all. To be honest, Gu Fei had helped them a lot by introducing them to the two experts, Unscathed In Battle and Yutian Shenming. If it weren't for these two experts overseeing and assisting them, the level of the Reborn Amethyst ladies would have been even worse.
Gu Fei looked to the side and saw Ice Glaze silently walking to the side with her head down.
"Student Xiao Bing, don't you recognize me?" Ice Glaze noticed that Gu Fei hadn't greeted her.
"Ah! No! "Ice Glaze raised her head in panic.
"Don't tease us shy girls. Go play with the girls in the back. "Luoluo said with dissatisfaction and pulled Ice Glaze to her side.
"What are you saying!" Gu Fei almost fainted. Luoluo made it sound like he had bad intentions. "You think I'm Yutian?"
"Ah!" Luoluo was startled. "I think so!"
"That animal." Gu Fei said with disdain.
Ice Glaze suddenly laughed. "He said the same thing about you."
"Why did he say that about me?" Gu Fei said.
"Nothing. It's just that whenever he mentioned you, he would say 'that animal' or 'that animal' instead." Luoluo laughed.
"Just wait for me to chop him to death!" Gu Fei said hatefully.
The girls burst into laughter. "Bullsh * t!" Everyone pointed at Gu Fei and said.
Gu Fei was at a loss. He didn't know why his casual words had such a big reaction. Of course, he didn't know that in his eyes, Yutian Shenming wasn't much. In reality, he was a top-notch expert. Although the girls' skills were average, after interacting with him for so long, they could naturally see it. Not to mention, the name Yutian Shenming was his signature.
Now that Gu Fei's level wasn't as high as Yutian Shenming's, and his class was a mage that was countered by Yutian Shenming, saying that he could kill Yutian Shenming would naturally be seen as bragging.
After chatting idly like this, the group finally arrived at Cloud Valley.
At this time, Cloud Valley was no longer as desolate as it was when Gu Fei was leveling. As the leveling area with the most players, the mountains and plains were filled with people. Gu Fei followed the group and looked around. He really couldn't find a place that could accommodate ten people leveling.
As they walked, the girls stopped. Luoluo looked ahead and frowned.
The girls were also discussing, "It's them again."
"What's going on?" Gu Fei asked.
"This area should belong to Amethyst, but these people haven't been able to find a place these days, so they like to come here and duel with us a few times." Luoluo said.
"Duel?" Gu Fei didn't understand.
Luoluo looked at him with an even more confused expression.
"Duel what?" Gu Fei asked again.
"The leveling area! The leveling area is overcrowded right now. It's always fighting and no one can level well, so everyone … "
"Oh, I understand." Gu Fei indeed understood. This was the rule of Moonlit Night City, which loved to fight. Because the leveling area couldn't handle so many players leveling at the same time, it was impossible for there to be no fights. However, a large-scale group fight definitely wouldn't make up for the losses, so there was the rule of sending representatives to duel. Who would've thought that Cloud City would also be like this. This showed that the people's intelligence was the same.
"Then let's pick!" Gu Fei said.
"But Yutian isn't here." Luoluo was worried, "It's always been him. Other than him, I don't have any abilities. Xiao Bing is a Mage, and the others are even lower level. "
"I'll go!" Gu Fei patted his chest.
"You're a Mage too!" Luoluo was surprised. From a conventional point of view, dueling was a Mage's weakness. Although Luoluo felt that Gu Fei was capable, she didn't think that Gu Fei would be stronger than veteran experts like Yutian Shenming. Back then, Gu Fei almost died under Xiao Yu's hands. This situation definitely wouldn't happen to Yutian Shenming.
Before the discussion finished, the people in the leveling area had clearly seen Gu Fei's group. They were obviously familiar faces to them. A group of people whistled and shouted, "Pretty girls, here they come again."
"You guys are shameless! You've lost so many times, but you still come. "A girl shouted.
"Perseverance! This spirit is worth learning. "Someone on the other side shouted. It was obvious that they were going to be shameless to the end.
Gu Fei didn't wait for Luoluo's reply and took the initiative to walk to the front, "It's a duel, come out!"
The other side looked at Gu Fei and was startled, "Why did you change people? Where's that arrogant brat? Call him over! "
"He's not here." Gu Fei said.
The other side immediately muttered. After losing to Yutian Shenming a few times in a row, they still dared to come again. Naturally, they were prepared. In order to deal with Yutian Shenming, they specially found an expert Thief and prepared to use the class counter. They could also see that apart from Yutian Shenming, the other girls didn't have much PK ability, so they didn't expect to change people at the last minute.
However, they really didn't expect that Yutian Shenming, who had persisted for several days, would be replaced by a new character today.
"Appraise! Appraise!" The other side didn't want to lose again.
"Mage!" Everyone's eyebrows were raised when the appraisal results came out. Although the equipment and the like weren't out, no one cared anymore. One-on-one against a Mage was a piece of cake.
"Who's up?" The others began to rush to be first. Truth be told, the other party had been fighting for the leveling area with Amethyst on purpose. They took the leveling area and generously invited the girls to train together. Although the two parties would be a little crowded, it was better than not having a leveling area, so the girls wouldn't refuse. After that, they naturally got to know each other.
This was the other party's original plan. Who would've thought that although the girls weren't strong, there would be a skilled archer in the party, and a few people would be defeated in the past few days. Although they hired a Thief today, they still felt a little uneasy. Now that the other side's expert wasn't here and the Mage had changed, everyone wanted to show their faces in front of the girls.
"By the way," Gu Fei turned to ask Luoluo, "PKs have to be merciful, right?"
Luoluo nodded, but her heart was full of doubts. This question didn't need to be asked. The players came up with this method to avoid losing levels. Why would they PK to the death?
"Be careful." Luoluo came over and whispered to Gu Fei, "PKs can't be controlled, and you can't say for sure."
"Don't worry, I'll be careful," Gu Fei said.
Luoluo nodded, "If you can't do it, then come down. We'll just find another place."
Gu Fei was stunned, "When I say be careful, I mean I'll be careful not to kill them …"
The girls were stunned, and the guy on the other side heard it clearly, and immediately became excited.
"This guy is even more arrogant than that brat!" Someone scolded.
Gu Fei couldn't be bothered to explain, so he took two steps forward and asked while rubbing his hands, "Who's going to come!"
"I'll go!" A Thief stepped out from the crowd. He was originally invited to fight Yutian Shenming today. When the others saw that he had stepped out, they were too embarrassed to fight with him.
Gu Fei nodded and asked, "How much health do you have?"
"What?" The other side was stunned.
"I said, how much HP do you have?" Gu Fei said seriously.
"What? How can I tell you! "The other side was surprised. This was a PK, and it was better to keep his own data confidential. Who would ask like this?
"If you don't tell me your HP, I can't go easy on you!" Gu Fei was still very serious. He wasn't an online expert like Sword Demon and the others. Those guys knew the game's data like the back of their hand, and could roughly determine part of their opponent's data with identification. Gu Fei had no concept of this. He only saw that the other side was a Thief, a profession with low HP, and was within his spell's instant kill range. Asking about the other side's HP was really out of good intentions.
However, ordinary players couldn't understand this kind of abnormal thinking. Under the scolding, the Thief also felt that he was being discriminated against, and angrily said, "Brat, I want to fight to the death with you!"
Fighting to the death meant fighting until one side died. It was a term invented by some pretentious people. When facing an opponent who was obviously inferior to oneself, asking "Do you want to fight to the death" before the fight seemed to show one's style.
Gu Fei had also heard of this term. At this time, he smiled and said, "There's no need for that, right? It's getting harder and harder to level up these days! "
The other side thought that Gu Fei was afraid, and became even more arrogant. "Don't be polite. Aren't you afraid that you can't go easy on me? I'll give you this chance. If you have the ability, you can PK me to death! "
