Having gone quite a distance, they ca to a pavilion and stopped, watching as they moved away from the cri scene, both of them let out a sigh of relief together.
They exchanged glances, almost feeling a sense of camaraderie born from shared adversities.
“Hahaha, that was terrifying earlier, so damn thrilling.
Master Mingyue is so frightening.
Luckily, I’m a disciple of Master Qingfeng.
Man, you’re aweso too, being able to transform into a Heavenly Soldier.
What Spell did you use?”
“Mystical Skill—Transform into Human.”
Xiao Jie did not ntion it was an Equipnt Skill.
Although a white na death had only a 25% chance of dropping an item of equipnt, and killing for loot probably wouldn’t work, it was better to be safe than sorry.
This was especially true for his low-level account, and attracting less covetous attention was the way to be.
“Impressive, must be sothing you learned on a lucky adventure, right?
Co to think of it, I’ve never seen you before.
Are you new to the Profession?”
“I wish that were the case.
I ca to seek a ntor today, but Master Qingfeng wouldn’t take as a disciple, just allowed to stay for one night.
I was originally hoping to uncover so hidden content, but I almost got killed.
Thankfully, I had this Transformation Technique.
Brother, you’re pretty bold yourself, learning Spells from an Evil Man in the dungeon.
If your master finds out, aren’t you afraid of being purged from the sect?”
“Exactly, thankfully only you and I know about this.
Now that the Evil Man is dead, there’s no more learning from him.
It’s such a pity.
I wasted so much ti giving gifts and building up Favorability, spending tens of silver coins.
By the way, did the Evil Man teach you anything?”
“Nope, I never worked on Favorability with him.
Did he teach you anything?”
“When the Favorability reached 60, he gave a Unnad Taoist Scripture True Words, and he also taught two Spells.
I just got the Favorability up to eighty, but it’s a sha I didn’t get a chance to learn the Human Dao Chapter.”
Xiao Jie thought it indeed a pity; he was also curious about what exactly the Human Dao Chapter was, especially since it could boost comprehension.
And although the Taoist obviously boasted, the mystery he spun suggested that one might obtain so powerful Spells after mastering it.
Perhaps it could unlock an entry-level Daoism Introduction or even a Hidden profession.
“Do you think this Evil Man’s way could really lead to becoming a Saint?”
“Becoming a Saint my ass, how is that possible.
I’ve co to realize that NPCs in this ga are just like real people, hardly any of them tell the truth.
They all boast like crazy.
Back in Newbie Village, after completing a quest chain, that drunkard promised to teach a Supre Divine Skill if I brewed him so wine, and all I got was an entry-level Inner Strength Technique.”
Xiao Jie thought, even if it was an entry-level Inner Strength Technique learned in Newbie Village, that seed impressive.
“Besides, this Saint thing, I suspect it’s all just a ruse—at least until now, I’ve never heard of anyone becoming a Saint.
Even my two masters don’t know anything about Saints, as if there’s no such thing in the ga at all.”
Upon hearing this, Xiao Jie found it hard to believe because the opening CG had definitely ntioned Saints.
Well alright, perhaps it was part of the ga’s later stages which he hadn’t reached yet.
“Well, if you can’t beco a Saint, can you beco Immortal at least?”
“Haha, you’re thinking too much.
Up to now, I’ve not heard of any players in this ga becoming Immortal.”
“Not even one?”
“None.”
Xiao Jie frowned and speculated, “Maybe soone has beco Immortal and is just keeping quiet about getting rich?”
“Impossible.
This ga has been in operation for three years.
If there truly were any Immortals, it would’ve spread by now.
I think there’s no chance of that happening in this ga.”
“Why do you say that?”
“It’s all about balance, you see.
You’ve played online gas before, right?
Which ga out there allows players to beco gods or immortals, totally dominating over other players?”
Stuff like becoming immortal or a god is feasible in single-player gas, but online gas have to account for balance.
The most badass thing a player can aspire to in online gas is to beco a great lord or sothing, and even then, it’s mostly just a title.
In the end, if the ga requires them to run errands for NPCs and do grunt work, that’s what they have to do.”
“The magic professions in this ga are already strong enough.
If they could also beco saints or immortals, wouldn’t the physical ones be no better than ants?”
Xiao Jie couldn’t help but sigh after listening.
What Tree Under the Cicada said actually made a lot of sense, and he had thought about the issue of balance before too.
It wasn’t until he ca across ‘I Want to Be Immortal’ and saw such commitnt that he started to entertain so fantasies.
But now, hearing Tree Under the Cicada articulate a similar analysis, those unrealistic dreams seed to shatter all at once.
Yes, becoming an immortal or a god…
just the sound of it feels so far from reality.
In fact, the re idea of learning so martial arts or magic and being able to bring them back to the real world is already mind-boggling enough.
But unlike Tree Under the Cicada’s complete certainty, there was still a glimr of hope lingering in his heart.
The ga not only suggested the prospect of miraculous powers, but what fascinated him more were the bizarre ways of playing and the magical adventures.
It gave him a sense of infinite possibilities within the ga.
Perhaps it wasn’t totally hopeless after all.
“Since fate has brought us together, why don’t we add each other as friends?
Who knows, we might even have the chance to team up in the future,” Tree Under the Cicada suggested.
“That would be great,” Xiao Jie agreed readily as they added each other as friends, thinking to himself that people say in-ga relationships are fake, but isn’t that just as true in real life?
As for teaming up, it’s probably just small talk; after all, when does a brief encounter ever lead to instant bonding?
Especially when their levels differed so much.
But having more friends ant more opportunities.
It was always better to know more people, as you never knew when the chance for cooperation might arise.
So pleasantries may feel insincere, but they’re still necessary to exchange.
Watching Tree Under the Cicada leave, Xiao Jie also returned to his room.
It was just past seven o’clock, but he dared not wander around anymore.
The trip to the dungeon was indeed a bit terrifying.
What a pity that he almost heard the so-called Human Dao Chapter.
But what did that last sentence from the Evil Man an?
[Now that my successor is here, I have no worries!]
His successor couldn’t possibly be Feng Yilang.
Could it be Tree Under the Cicada?
Tree Under the Cicada learned the True Word Chapter, which kind of t the criteria, but he was invisible at the ti; the Human Dao Chapter wasn’t passed on to him, so how could he be considered a successor?
When it cos to it, he also learned the True Word Chapter.
In that sense, he was in a similar position to Tree Under the Cicada.
Too bad he didn’t get to hear the Human Dao Chapter in ti.
That Evil Man, why couldn’t he just write the Human Dao Chapter as a secret book and give it directly to …
Wait a minute!
A sudden thought struck Xiao Jie.
Secret books?
Could it be— he hurriedly opened his backpack, looking at the Immortal Technique Secret given to him by the Mad Taoist.
The bamboo slip was the sa as ever, but as his cursor hovered over it, his heart surged with joy.
The na of that Immortal Technique Secret had changed to—[Unnad Dao Scripture: Human Dao Chapter]
