Chapter 155: Chapter 29 The Practical Value of Spells in RealityWhat a great item! Gazing at the item that had appeared, Xiao Jie couldn’t help but have his eyes light up; it was a Magic Skills Book, which could certainly sell for some silver. His luck had finally turned red hot. It was a pity that he didn’t have the entry-level Demon Art and couldn’t learn it; otherwise, killing monsters with it would have been super cool. It was more powerful and could kill enemies from a distance, much stronger than a bow and arrow. Chain Kick! "Adadadada" Mr. Ramen finished off the enemy in front of him with a Charging Skill. Splitting Stone Slash! I Want to Be Immortal chopped down the last Little Monster with a swing of his axe. The two of them had also dealt with the enemies in front of them. "Got any loot, Feng?" Picking up items did have a display. Xiao Jie casually said, "Yeah, got a Magic Skills Book. We’ll divide up the money among the three of us after we sell it." Mr. Ramen was somewhat surprised upon hearing this, "Uh, bro, no need to be so courteous. I’m already very happy you guys brought me along to level up. I haven’t had such a blast killing in a long time. Forget about the money; I’m good with the Little Monsters’ bounty." Xiao Jie silently nodded in his heart; he appreciated such considerate teammates. The contribution and loot division in a team should maintain a balance. If everyone can agree on this, the team can develop harmoniously. But often, people tend to overestimate their own contribution and underestimate their teammates’ efforts, leading to unequal loot sharing, and everyone feels shortchanged, which can quickly dissolve a team. In this regard, Mr. Ramen was very tactful. To such a sensible person, Xiao Jie was even less willing to withhold a small benefit. "No, the three of us are a team. Even though it was me who killed the Elite Monster, you helped draw fire, so naturally you should get a share." "Also, I should be upfront about something. We’re actually on a special task, and there will be task rewards later. I won’t share those with you because we’ve already completed half and can’t share the task. "But you still get a share of the loot from the Little Monsters. You don’t need to be polite. I’m someone who values fairness and justice above all; it’s a matter of principle." Xiao Jie spoke seriously, and Mr. Ramen accepted graciously, "Haha, then I won’t be shy. Thanks, Feng!" Xiao Jie’s generosity wasn’t only a matter of principle. There might be a Boss fight tomorrow, and he wanted Mr. Ramen to contribute as much as possible. Otherwise, if nothing was shared, Mr. Ramen might not put in much effort when the time came. People may say nice things, but human nature is something best left untested. As the team leader, he naturally had the advantage in the distribution of spoils. If he wanted his team members to trust him, it was better to be generous upfront. That way, even if he became a bit selfish later on, they would be more accepting. If he was unwilling to share at the beginning, then later, no one would expect anything of value to be shared. After all, no one is a fool; if you’re going to act, you better make it believable. Mr. Ramen had, after all, drawn the Merfolk Water Master’s fire. He deserved some reward for his hard work; otherwise, why would anyone risk their neck? By three in the afternoon, the trio had leveled up one after another. First, Xiao Jie successfully reached level 13, followed by I Want to Be Immortal, who leveled up with a flash of white light, and finally, Mr. Ramen also reached level 17. "Haha, this is too exhilarating. It’s been a long time since I’ve leveled up so satisfyingly. You have no idea; the last few levels were ground out so painfully, it was tough. Now I’m one step closer to my game goal." Xiao Jie asked out of curiosity, "What’s your game goal?" "My goal is to reach level 20 and get my second Profession, then I’m freaking done with the game." "Which Profession path are you planning to take at level 20?" "What else? Of course, it’s going to be Martial Arts Master—it’s the advanced Profession for a Martial Artist." "Not considering a switch to the Magic System?" "I don’t have the luck for that. Besides, I don’t have enough attributes. To switch to the Magic System, I would need to save up attribute points. Many players who want to switch don’t add points at all, or they only add them for advanced attributes, and then they die mysteriously without even seeing a hair of it. I can’t take that risk. Better to play it safe. Being a high-level martial artist in real life wouldn’t be too bad either. I plan to reach level 20, get the Core Skills of the Martial Arts Master, and retire from the game. Then I’ll go compete in real-life boxing matches, maybe make a name for myself, become an internet celebrity or something. If I’m lucky, I might even win a world championship. By then, I definitely need to find a beautiful girlfriend, have a few chubby boys, and establish a martial arts family or something! Hahaha, just thinking about it feels awesome." Xiao Jie thought to himself that this guy’s goal was indeed quite down to earth. But for the average person, it was also a practical plan. To retire with the status of a high-level martial artist would indeed be a decent outcome. "Then I wish you success. When you compete, be sure to give us a heads-up so I can cheer you on." "Hahaha, sure thing. But, talking about it now is still too early. I still need to reach level 20, and preferably get a High-level Martial Arts book in the meantime. These Basic Combat Skills just aren’t powerful enough." I Want to Be Immortal jokingly said, "Just remember your old friends when you become famous." "Hahaha, of course, of course." As the three of them were chatting happily, Granny Li came over. Looking at the bodies of the merfolk, she first heaved a sigh of relief, and then solemnly said, "Three brave warriors, after such fierce killing, those merfolk should no longer come ashore to harass us. Thank you for your help. Here is some silver; please accept it."
