Chapter 41 - 41 38 Ye Luo's Advice

41: Chapter 38 Ye Luo’s Advice 41: Chapter 38 Ye Luo’s Advice I Want to Be Immortal seemed completely bewildered, as if intimidated by the game’s complex profession system. After pondering for a while, he suddenly asked, “Then, if I want to unlock a magic profession, sister, do you have any suggestions?” “Hehe, you really dare to ask, huh? Everyone wants to switch to a magic profession, but it’s not so easy. I’m not even sure how to play it myself. I do have some theories about it, though. But let me be clear: these theories were told to me by a friend, and I’m not certain if they’re true.” I Want to Be Immortal earnestly replied, “Sister, just go ahead and tell me, it’s not your problem if it doesn’t work out.” Xiao Jie instantly perked up his ears. Although Ye Luo spoke with humility, he felt that this girl definitely had something up her sleeve. “Well, then, I’ll say it. Different ‘Tasks’ require specific attributes to acquire. For example, collecting herbs requires high Perception. And Tasks are often related to professions. For instance, having done the ‘Hunter’ Task, there’s a high chance of unlocking the ‘Archer’ Profession at Level 10. Having been a ‘Woodcutter’, at Level 10, it’s very likely to unlock Swordman or Ranger. So theoretically, there must be Tasks related to the magic system, and by attaining such Tasks, it would be possible to unlock a magic profession once the level is reached. And these Tasks naturally have corresponding attribute requirements. For example, if you want to become immortal, Spirituality is naturally a must-have. If you stack up on Spirituality in advance, you might trigger the chance to embark on the path of immortal cultivation, unlocking Tasks like being a ‘Daoist Child’. For example, you might meet some mysterious master who, seeing your high Spirituality and that you’re a good seedling for immortal cultivation, might just take you as a disciple. Having been a Daoist Child, later on, you can naturally unlock the Taoist Profession.” Xiao Jie nodded to himself upon hearing this; the logic was flawless. Yet Ye Luo continued, “But as I said before, this is just speculation. If you stack a bunch of attribute points in Spirituality and then fail to encounter the chance and can’t unlock a magic profession, then those points are wasted. A physical profession with stacked Spirituality is basically useless, making leveling up extraordinarily difficult.” Exactly, that’s the rationale. If all your attributes are in Spirituality, then leveling up is certainly going to be troublesome. After hearing this, Xiao Jie found it made a lot of sense. As for the leveling issue, an idea suddenly struck him, and he discovered a potential loophole. “What if I hold back on leveling up? For instance, if I reach Level 9 and put all my attributes into Spirituality, then go and try to trigger an encounter. As long as I don’t level up, my profession won’t be set, giving me unlimited time to look for such encounters.” Ye Luo couldn’t help but express surprise with a “huh” upon hearing this. “You’re quite good at cross-referencing, aren’t you? Yes, theoretically, it’s indeed possible to do that. My friend told me about this method, and it’s also known by quite a few people. Many players who have reached Level 9, 19, or 29 without triggering a magic encounter might stop leveling entirely, just to seek the chance they want. Wandering around the world. However, it’s very dangerous for a Level 9 alternate account to roam the world; they usually dare to do so only with the protection of a main account. The maps related to Gods, Immortals, Demons, Ghosts don’t have any low-level ones; most players who suppress their levels usually do so at Level 19 or 29.” It made sense. There’s never a shortage of smart people. If he could come up with this method, so could others. Xiao Jie glanced at Ye Luo’s level above her head, Level 8. Could it be that this girl was also suppressing her level? The reason he had this suspicion was because Ye Luo seemed to know too much, not at all like a newbie, and her actions exuded a particular confidence, almost as if a high-level player was training an alternate account, leading him to this thought. “Sister, what path are you planning to take?” I Want to Be Immortal couldn’t help but ask again. Ye Luo calmly replied, “This question does not fall within the scope of consultation, I have nothing to disclose.” Xiao Jie thought to himself, the kid was still too rash to ask such a sensitive question. However, he felt Ye Luo definitely had already planned for herself, most likely a profession related to Perception. “Then, apart from Divine General, what other Dual-professions are there?” “I don’t know much. Many professions might not have been discovered yet. After all, in a game with no room for error, the cost of trial and error is too high, so many people tend to make conservative choices, choosing paths that others have already blazed. And the intel I got was some time ago. Maybe recently, people have discovered more professions.” I know of probably just these few combinations. General + Divine Prayer = Divine General. General + Spirit Channeler = Netherworld Ghost General. Taoist + Spirit Channeler = Heavenly Master. Beast Tamer + Shaman/Taoist = Demon Master. Swordsman + Swordman = Hero. As for advanced professions, I actually know quite a few. Swordsman — Sword Master — Sword Saint. General — Rider Captain — General. Taoist — Array Master — Qi Men Dun Jia Master. Taoist — Thunder Mage — Thunder Master. Taoist — Illusionist — demon. The Taoist profession has many advancement paths with lots of different development lines… Thief — Flying Thief — Flying Thief. Martial Monk — Martial Monk Master — Arhat Monk. Archer — Divine Archer…” “Hold on, why do those latter ones only have one advancement?” “Who knows, maybe there really is only one advancement, or perhaps the subsequent advancements have yet to be discovered. Of course, I’ve also said that all this is outdated information. Additionally, professions also have their hierarchies, with the more difficult to unlock ones often offering better perks. For example, a General is much better than a gunman. Despite both being basic professions, a General not only has additional Riding Skill but also an Aura Skill. But the unlocking difficulty is higher too, you need to Master any weapon skill before Level 10 plus Master the Riding Skill, and also raise your State Mansion reputation to Respected to settle on a profession. Whereas for gunmen, axe warriors, and the like, you just need to use the corresponding weapon to level them up, making them the least distinctive of professions. Moreover, these kinds of professions have another problem: their in-game skills are utterly useless in real life, inferior even to a Qi Gong Master or a Flying Thief, who at least have some supernatural abilities.” Xiao Jie thought to himself, that’s for sure. Even if you want to play a physical profession, at the very least you should be one that has Inner Strength and Qinggong, to at least show off a bit in the real world. If you go for a gunman or an axe warrior, apart from substituting for an actor in a movie, I really can’t see any use for them. Relying on stacking attribute points might make you a decent athlete or fighter, but that’s about it. Naturally, the best are the magic professions. Spells, oh, they can make real life delightful, and if you think about it carefully, combat spells aren’t all that valuable; actually, it’s the auxiliary skills like Healing Skill, Disease Removal Skill, Invisibility Technique, Round Light Skill that are truly useful… The more he thought, the more Xiao Jie felt that his decision to exchange information for I Want to Be Immortal was incredibly foresighted; this information was definitely worth much more than one or two pieces of Equipment. But this Ye Luo was also a man of his word, spilling so much just because I asked. This made him even more certain that the other person must be an expert player. “Alright, that’s as much as I know. If there are no more questions, I have other tasks to tend to. Please excuse me,” Ye Luo said as he turned to leave, but after a few steps, he turned back around. With a sincere tone, he said, “A personal piece of advice, you should probably not aim too high right now. Don’t bother with all those musings, try to figure out how to survive in the game first, because after all, you only have one life.”
