Chapter 485: Chapter 485: Incredible Talent
“`
“So, the races I can choose from are related to the clans in my Divine Realm?”
Lin Xiao looked at the remaining race options and first checked out the Human Race.
Race: Humans.
Talent: Perception, Human Spirit, Self-interest, Diplomacy.
Expertise: Sword Mastery, Hamr Mastery.
Evaluation: A common race capable of entering the majority of professions.
Lin Xiao suddenly noticed a line of fine print following the evaluation, which read—The normal level cap for the human race is Level 70.
???
He quickly checked the Lesser Naga he had looked at before and found a line of fine print he had almost missed, which read—The normal level cap for the Lesser Naga species is Level 55.
Then, looking at the Supre Naga, the small print read—The normal level cap for the Supre Naga species is Level 75.
“So different races have different level caps, is that realistic!”
He then looked at the Red Furnace Clan:
Race: Red Furnace Clan.
Category: A subspecies of Dwarves.
Talent: Smithing Spirit. Forging skills 30, forging consumption -50%, chance to forge a superior item than the blueprint during equipnt forging.
Talent: Crimson Furnace. Immune to fire and bleeding, poison, curses, diseases, spell resistance 100, fire spell damage 20%.
Evaluation: A powerful forging and combat race, suitable for lee physical combatants, as well as mages specialized in fire.
There is also a line of fine print following the evaluation of the Red Furnace Clan, which reads—The normal level cap for the Red Furnace Clan is Level 65.
Finally, there’s the Star Spirit Clan, a race Lin Xiao was very much looking forward to as a Sub-legendary Race.
Race: Star Spirit.
Category: A high-order humanoid race.
Talent: Child of the Stars. Reduces all spell damage and effects as well as duration by 50%, each level increases intelligence by 5, spirit by 5, maximum mana by 100%, and mana recovery speed by 500%.
Talent: True Genius State. All spell consumption -50%, casting without materials, spell power, and effect as well as casting distance 200%.
Talent Skill: Essence Transition. Use it to drain 2% of the target’s maximum health, mana, and energy per second related to intelligence and give it to oneself or transfer one’s energy to teammates, lasting for 8 seconds with a cooldown of 2 hours.
Expertise: Clever Heart and Skillful Hands. All professional skill levels 15.
Evaluation: This is a race naturally attuned to energy and endowed with unique talents in energy control.
Similarly, there’s a line of fine print after the evaluation of the Star Spirit Clan, which reads—The normal level cap for the Star Spirit Clan is Level 70.
It’s the sa as the Humans, but it’s evident that the talent-rich Star Spirit Clan is much stronger than the Humans.
Having seen this, Lin Xiao was fairly certain that the races players could choose from were indeed the clans within their own Divine Realm. This was good news for those blessed with powerful clans in their Divine Realm, but not such good news for those whose primary clans were rely high-level races like the Beastn or Dwarves.
Born five or ten levels behind, they’d be at a disadvantage right at the starting line.
But that was soone else’s problem, not his to worry about. Right now, Lin Xiao was considering which race to choose.
Or rather, between the Supre Naga and the Star Spirit, which one?
No need to consider the others; it boiled down to these two.
Normally, the Supre Naga would be the best choice because of its formidable occupational talents, but the Star Spirit wasn’t far behind. Despite the Supre Naga’s five-level advantage in the normal level cap, the Star Spirit’s talents were no less powerful than those of the Supre Naga, it was just that one was magic-based and the other was combat-oriented.
The key factor causing his hesitation was that the Star Spirit was magic-based while the Supre Naga was purely physical combat.
According to nearly all ga chanics and even the laws of the real world, the mage profession is always the favored child, and the term “Master of Law” is not given for nothing.
And even though this arrival is digitalized like a ga, it is, in fact, a real world, just digitalized. The regularities surely won’t differ much from other worlds. Since there is a mage profession, it couldn’t be too far off.
Therefore, Lin Xiao’s choice is the Star Spirit.
“`
Of course, there is another important reason for choosing the Star Spirit, and that is because they look identical to humans and are incredibly handso. Coupled with such strong magic-based talents, they are the perfect embodint of rich and handso, a high-class race. Who else would be a better pick?
When he made his decision, four out of the five racial phantoms before him disappeared. A white light shone at the edge of the altar below, indicating that the altar was activated, and his consciousness was directly cast into the Star Spirit phantom.
Beams of white light, similar to lightning, burst out from the altar and entered the Star Spirit phantom, making it slowly materialize, while a faint glow erged from within the Star Spirit phantom.
With a gleam in the Star Spirit’s eyes, the now luminous Star Spirit soared into the sky and vanished without a trace.
Silver Moon Valley, an ancient tree reached up to the skies at the center of the valley. Its huge canopy, nearly a kiloter in diater, covered most of the valley. Starlight occasionally fell from the sky, piercing through the leaves and landing on the ground, transforming into various races wearing simple clothes…
At a glance, there were all kinds of Minotaurs, Pandarens, Tiger People, Moon Elves, Sun Elves, Golden Dwarves, Humans, Dragon Turtle People, and others, creating a cacophony akin to a bustling marketplace, all cramd together under bizarre nas.
The handso features and perfect physique of Lin Xiao’s Star Spirit race stood out prominently among the crowd of monstrous races, catching the attention of many onlookers.
Most of those who could enter the university as Sons of Divine Realm from main Clans were not bad, at the very least high-class races, but there were also those who did not take the usual path and chose races like Small Fishn, Hyenan, Frog People, Crocodile People, and Ogres, which were considered strange.
Maybe they wanted to see if these ordinary races would encounter special fates, but Lin Xiao felt they were more likely to regret it in the future.
Since the Star Sprit race was unique, there was no novice village for this race; he could only be randomly placed in this Novice Village called Silver Moon Valley. All the odd races in this valley were randomly dropped here.
Following the process he rembered, Lin Xiao first checked his attribute panel; at level zero, everyone’s attributes were basically the sa.
Upon opening his backpack, a twenty-slot bag revealed a Hearthstone bound to his ho point and a letter. Clicking on it, a screen popped up in front of him with the following ssage:
“Children from Gaia, you may call the System. For the next hundred years, you will live in this ga world. You cannot log out, and upon death, you will resurrect at the nearest graveyard, or ask a Priest with resurrection skills to revive you.”
“Your current task is to beco stronger, ever stronger. You have ten years to prepare. After ten years, the gates to the Outland will open, and you will face the challenge from the Children of Nightmare.”
“In this ga, you can obtain Honor Points and Honor Gems in various ways. Defeating Children of Nightmare, achieving the first kill in powerful team dungeons, defeating mighty world challengers, completing extraordinary difficult achievents, and more will all earn you these rewards. I have prepared a wealth of prizes for you, including Divinity, Super Energy Core, Super Void Battleship, and even elite military ranks that you can exchange for. For detailed rewards, please check the shop.”
“This ga world simulates the Titan Crystal Universe, also known as the Azeroth Crystal Wall Universe, so places or storylines in it may have similarities with the actual world. Those who understand this universe might have an advantage.”
“Lastly, I make this promise here: if I attain the final victory, every student who has perford excellently in these hundred years will receive a hundred Honor Points. The top ten thousand will receive a thousand Honor Points, ten Level 3 Honor Gems, and two Level 2 Honor Gems, whereas the top one hundred will receive ten thousand Honor Points, ten Level 2 Honor Gems, and one Level 1 Honor Gem.”
“Furthermore, if anyone can play a decisive or crucial role in my victory, they will receive my personal favor and additional rewards.”
“This counts as a substantial investnt!”
Lin Xiao glanced at the shop; five hundred Honor Points and one Level 2 Honor Gem could be exchanged for a Divinity without priesthood. This ans that just the basic reward for the top ten thousand could exchange for two non-priesthood Divinities, which altogether is an extravagant total.
However, considering this big shot’s pursuit, such spending seems insignificant. If he were to defeat competitors and capture this Crystal Wall System, he would instantly step into a grand realm. If it were Lin Xiao, he would be willing to pay as much too, even if it ant bankruptcy.
After reading this letter, it was clear from everyone’s expressions that they were getting excited, filled with anticipation.
The newly arrived players began to act, walking around Novice Village, accepting quests, seeking ntors to learn Skills, and setting out to level up.
Lin Xiao was no different; first, he completed a series of novice sequential quests as instructed by the novice guide, earning a set of three cloth items—robe, belt, and shoes—a set of twenty loaves of bread, and a flask that could be drunk from twenty tis for mountain spring water; bread for health recovery and mountain spring water for mana.
This ga was quite realistic, or rather, a truly realistic world, where in addition to health recovery, bread could stave off hunger and mountain spring water not only restored mana but also quenched thirst.
Besides, he also received one silver coin, equivalent to a hundred copper coins, and followed the guide to the vocational training area beneath the ancient tree. There were trainers for Magic professions such as Priest, Mage, Magician, and Shaman, among which he could choose one to take as his profession.
The ga did not have a set profession at the beginning, only preset professions. For example, if you had a preset magic profession, you could choose any of these Magic professions.
But once you choose a specific Magic profession, that becos your official profession, and you can’t practice multiple professions.
Of course, Lin Xiao’s choice was the Mage, with two Spells at First Level.
The first Spell was the classic Fireball Technique, casting a scorching fireball against a target within 30 yards, dealing 15-20 points of fire damage and causing 3 points of continuous damage over six seconds.
The Mana cost is 30 points, with a casting ti of 1.5 seconds.
The second was Frost Armor, casting a Frost Armor lasting thirty minutes, adding 30 points to armor, reducing the moving Speed of lee attackers by 70%, and their Attack Speed by 20% for five seconds.
The Mana cost is 60 points, instant cast.
With the enhancents from the Star Spirit Talent, these two Spells have beco like this—
Fireball Technique: Cast a scorching fireball against targets within a 90 yards range, dealing 45-60 points of fire damage, and causing 9 points of continuous damage over six seconds.
The Mana cost is 15 points, with a casting ti of 1.5 seconds.
Frost Armor: Cast a Frost Armor lasting thirty minutes, adding 90 points to armor, reducing the moving Speed of lee attackers by 70%, and their Attack Speed by 20% for five seconds.
The Mana cost is 30 points, instant cast.
