42: Chapter 39: Time to Kill the Monster 42: Chapter 39: Time to Kill the Monster After Ye Luo had left, Xiao Jie and I Want to Be Immortal fell into a silent mutual gaze. At this moment, both of them began to consider the viability of different professions in their minds. Xiao Jie took Ye Luo’s words to heart. Ye Luo was right, survival was the most important thing, only by staying alive could one have unlimited possibilities. Once dead, there was nothing left to discuss. But his goal was not merely to survive. If he were truly afraid of dying, he wouldn’t be playing this game. His purpose in playing the game was to ensure his own safety while gaining as much real extraordinary power as possible. Therefore, planning his development path early on was very important. Some opportunities, once missed, could never be regained. Currently, the game’s extraordinary powers mainly revolved around Gods, Immortals, Demons, and Ghosts, but there were also Internal Cultivation Methods, Yin Yang Talismans, Mechanical Beast Taming, and professional skills. Compared to the extraordinary powers of Gods, Immortals, Demons, and Ghosts, these were obviously weaker. He naturally aimed for the most top-tier power. Gods relied on Faith, which he decided not to consider since his Faith was only at 7. Xiao Jie could guess why it was so low, living in a new society, growing up under the red flag, he naturally felt nothing for gods and ghosts, always deeming them as deceits. Even now, after encountering such a magical game, Xiao Jie hadn’t changed much. He was equally uninterested in Ghosts, which didn’t seem like anything good. This left him with only two choices: Immortal and Demon. Of course, the best was becoming an Immortal, which even sounded prestigious, very high-end. But if that wasn’t possible, learning some Demon Art was also acceptable. As for career path choices, it was either advance or undertake a Double Transfer. He definitely wouldn’t choose a mixed-bag route of three scattered professions. Xiao Jie had played games for many years and understood one thing clearly: one should never go against the game designer. If one is to play, one must play as the strongest professions in the version. Combining his current skills, Equipment, and information, Xiao Jie quickly outlined several pathways. Route 1: Swordsman—Taoist—Sword Master. First, stay at level 9 and go to the city to learn swordsmanship, after mastering it level up to 10, take the Swordsman profession at level 10, and from levels 10-19 try to trigger an adventure to gain Magic Ability. At level 20, take a side job as a Taoist, and at level 30 do a Double Transfer to Sword Master. The main reason for learning swordsmanship is that it seems to fit best with Immortals. The profession of Sword Master sounds powerful too. The idea of riding the wind to traverse the four seas and the eight deserts, becoming a Sword Immortal in white clothing, wielding a rainbow-like sword, was exhilarating to think about. Route 2: Ranger/Swordman—Taoist—????. Continue leveling as per the current situation, smoothly reaching level 10, brush out either a Ranger or Swordsman profession at level 10, from levels 10-19 try to trigger an adventure to gain Magic Ability, take a side job as a Taoist at level 20, and at level 30 combine Saber Skill and Daoist Skill for a Double Transfer. This route was similar to Route 1, the advantage being it wasn’t necessary to stay at a lower level to learn swordsmanship, reducing early risks. The disadvantage was the uncertainty of unlocking a Double Transfer profession at level 30, but Xiao Jie felt that since there wasn’t much difference between a sword and a saber, if Swords + Daoist Skill could lead to a Double Transfer, Sabers + Daoist Skill should too. Surely similar professions existed, and with more research, he could find them. Route 3: Taoist—????—???? This route was very risky, requiring him to stack Spiritual to at least 30, preferably 40, before level 10 to potentially trigger an adventure. His current Spiritual value was 12, meaning he needed to add 28 points, which meant investing almost all attribute points from leveling up 5 times into Spiritual. This would make his Basic Attributes extremely low in the early stages, making it very difficult to battle monsters. Of course, if he succeeded in triggering an adventure and learned Magic, his power would skyrocket immediately, making this the fastest route to becoming stronger. What the later phases of advancement would look like would depend on his own destiny, but evolving within the Magic System definitely wouldn’t be weak. This route held huge risks and opportunities; a single misstep could lead to disaster, necessitating extreme caution. Route 4: Beast Tamer—Shaman/Taoist—Demon Master. Xiao Jie felt this was the safest line, given that he had been shepherding and Feeding Dogs, and if he also arranged to Feed Pigs, there was a high chance of brushing out the Beast Tamer profession by level 10. Having a pet would naturally make leveling up safer early on. The game didn’t restrict what weapons players could use. He could fully utilize a bow and arrow with a beast pet for ranged attacks and use a sword for close combat, making him versatile with both a tank and damage output. Leveling up by fighting monsters was absolutely powerful, and in the early stages, it could guarantee his safety to the utmost extent. From levels 10-19, he aimed to trigger adventures to acquire Magic Ability, and at level 20, take on a dual profession as either a Shaman or a Taoist. By level 30, he would double transfer into a Demon Master. Although the name “Demon Master” sounded a bit unpleasant, it was supposed to be on par with the Immortal Master, definitely not much weaker. As for other professions, Xiao Jie didn’t consider them much. Perhaps there were more powerful professions, but the most suitable one was the best. With such a high difficulty level of the game, sometimes he had to adapt to the situation and not force things. After repeatedly weighing these four professional lines in his mind, Xiao Jie suddenly sighed. The first one he ruled out was route 3, the pure Magic System promotion path, which was also the path he most aspired to. The reason was nothing else but that it was too dangerous. Before level 10, not adding basic attributes would make him extremely vulnerable, and just any slightly powerful monster in the wild could likely finish him off. Xiao Jie wasn’t the type to rely on luck, banking on not encountering formidable enemies in the wild, or hoping to escape smoothly every time he did. That wasn’t his style. He wasn’t the protagonist of a YY novel after all; doing so would definitely be suicidal. Next to be ruled out was the Sword Master. Going to the State Mansion to learn swordsmanship was indeed more prudent, but the journey there was fraught with danger, and learning swordsmanship would also cost money, certainly not cheap. If he chose this path, there were too many uncertain factors and too many resources to be consumed. Moreover, the difference between a Swordsman and a Swordman felt negligible, just a bit more handsome, and it wasn’t worth taking this risk for such marginal gain. That left him with the paths of Swordman—Taoist—Unknown double transfer profession. Beast Tamer—Shaman/Taoist—Demon Master, these two lines. Both lines didn’t require special operations; he just needed to keep playing according to the current situation, since both his Saber Skill and Dog Training Skill would be in use. Once he mastered the Dog Training Skill, he could take his dog and saber to fight monsters and level up. By level 10, the professions of Beast Tamer and Swordman would likely both emerge, meaning these two paths didn’t conflict before level 10. He could completely first see which set of skills was more useful and make a decision at level 10. Moreover, his current plan might not really go as planned; perhaps he might trigger some other unusual adventure and unlock a completely unheard-of hidden profession, and that was not impossible either. Xiao Jie had made up his mind, and it seemed that “I Want to Be Immortal” had also made a decision. “Sui Feng, what profession path are you planning to take?” “Swordman or Beast Tamer, what about you?” “I want to pursue immortality.” Xiao Jie was somewhat speechless, “The problem is, among the professions Ye Luo talked about, there’s no Immortal at all, perhaps the various promotions of a Taoist barely count.” “No, there must be one, there has to be! Only by becoming an immortal can I resurrect my brother. The game has such a high degree of freedom, perhaps I really can pursue immortality.” “I Want to Be Immortal” stated emphatically. Xiao Jie sighed in his heart, thinking that was completely ignoring reality. If there really was Resurrection Magic, after more than three years since the server opened, why had no one ever seen it? Such a thing, once it appeared, would definitely be universally known. Anyone with this magic could completely go and sell resurrection slots; any amount of money and equipment would probably have people willing to pay. Moreover, since one could die in this game, although it was not known if this was intentional by the designers, Xiao Jie had a feeling that the designer probably didn’t hope for anyone to escape the game’s death penalty. Besides, even for an immortal, bringing the dead back to life was not so easy, right? However, seeing the determined expression of “I Want to Be Immortal,” he didn’t say anything. “In that case, let’s go fight monsters and level up; just thinking about becoming an immortal won’t make it happen.” “I Want to Be Immortal” nodded, “You’re right, Sui Feng, let’s level up together by fighting monsters.” The two looked toward the outside of the village; after the crisis they had experienced that night, they were finally about to step out of the safety zone of the village once again. Perhaps they would face unknown risks, but for their respective goals, both had made up their minds. It was time to fight.
