I've Got Something Good Here
"Yes, Guild Leader, I've found the Overlord Class mentor. Come quickly, there are a lot of people here."
The White Day·Night Wanderer squeezed into the crowd, their hearts filled with excitement, which was related to their situation.
In fact, White Day Guild did not win a spot in the closed beta this time, but the investors were determined to get them into "Star Abyss". They were willing to cut some of their original business and were determined to make Bai Ri's name known during the closed beta.
There was no other way; the client was the boss, and the investors were the masters. A single sentence from above was enough to make them talk themselves hoarse and run themselves ragged, finally managing to secure 25 beta test slots from some lucky small studios.
The lion's share naturally went to the government and immigration development agencies, so no one dared to compete. The professional clubs were backed by financial giants, so there was no room for competition. But these individual investors, with their limited resources, were happy just to make money, making them relatively easy to sell.
After internal discussions, the guild decided to descend upon Nura City in the Heavenly Ring Nation and use it as a base for development.
The players' mindset is completely different from that of the natives of Azure Planet. Normal people would like to go to big cities, cultural centers, political centers, and economic centers to develop well, or go to places with pleasant climates, comfortable environments, and excellent cultural customs to live and work in peace and contentment.
Players are born with anxieties. Due to their need for leveling up and development, they prefer places with an industrial base (for easy access to equipment and supplies), close to the Outland (for convenient monster hunting and leveling up), and preferably with gray areas (where there are many hidden Side Quest).
After looking around, Nura City is undoubtedly the most suitable city for players to descend upon in the Heavenly Ring Nation: not only are gangs rampant here, but there are also armed organizations such as the Red Squad, the One Star Party, and the Yuan Alliance Army. These are all very rich mission resources, and it is also a typical 'front shop, back factory' production model. In such an industrial city, there are too many channels for selling stolen goods and laundering money, and even tax evasion will not be prosecuted.
The members of the White Day Guild did their homework in advance. After completing their descent, they went straight to various Martial Arts School and security companies to obtain their Main Class first. However, this process was not easy. Many people were deterred by the high tuition fees and apprenticeship gifts and had to work as laborers first.
Soon, the members of the White Day Guild realized that they seemed to be trapped in a vicious cycle: I have to become a [Martial Artist] before I can make big money.
—Then go become a [Martial Artist]!
But I don't have the money to learn martial arts.
—Then go make money.
I need to become a [Martial Artist] first to earn enough money! —Then why don't you become one!
After some discussion, the members of the White Day Guild calmed down and carefully considered the possibility of taking out a loan to go to school. In fact, they also wanted to support one or two players to switch to the [Craftsmanship] or [Redemption] professions, such as [Mechanic], [Biochemist], and [Doctor], which have far greater potential in terms of status and strength than [Martial Artist].
Looking back now, forget it, it's still the cheapest thing to do is to honestly practice martial arts and work as a laborer.
Just when the guild had basically given up on the Spellcasters path, Night Wanderer's discovery gave everyone a huge boost of confidence.
White Day·Baku: Really? When did Li Aoz arrive at Sky Ring? White Day·Zhong Kui: I arrived a while ago. You haven't been following the forum, so I guess I just happened to be passing through Nura City.
Guild Leader White Day·King Yama: Night Wanderer, keep an eye on him. We're coming right away. Don't let other guilds snatch him away!
Vice Guild Leader White Day·Wu Chang: @President White Day·King Yama Guild Leader, we're doing a mission! Why did you run away?
Guild Leader White Day·King Yama: You guys fight it yourselves. I need to prevent other guilds from gathering before they monopolize Li Aoz.
Vice Guild Leader White Day·Wu Chang: 6 ————————
Although Bai Ri reacted quickly, by the time the Guild Leader Yan Wang, led the main force to attack, they had already encountered four other companies on the way.
"Hey, isn't this Brother Yan Wang?" a slick-haired young man teased. "How come you've only reached level 3 after playing all day? Are you even that good?"
"I don't know what you're barking about?" Yan Wang said dismissively, curling his lip. "Li Aoz is a [Dominator] class mentor. If you miss this opportunity, you won't have another chance to quickly obtain Spellcasters class. You 'Murloc' guild should be able to tell the difference between leveling up and getting a class, right?"
"Hahaha, I think close combat with punches landing is the most satisfying. What kind of Aoneng can compare to my solid muscles?"
"Then don't push!"
Not long after, Li Aoz saw a large group of players dressed in strange clothes and wearing various IDs rushing towards him.
"Hey, Li Aoz, I'm your fan!"
"I want to be Mutant, mentor, please look at me!"
"Mentor, I made money by doing manual labor, selling a kidney, and taking out loans. Please let me change my class to [Mutant]!"
The players chattered away, and with their numbers and organization, they quickly pushed the ordinary people away. Li Aoz stroked his chin, calming the crowd while using gravity to suppress order. He then turned to observe the players closely.
It should be said that the players' leveling speed is dozens of times faster than that of the native inhabitants of Azure Planet, and with the adaptability provided by the ' Disguise Mode ', they won't fare too badly.
However, even in the most suitable environment for leveling up by fighting monsters in the Sky Ring, the players' leveling speed was not much better. Looking around, the highest level was only lv.5, but he had three lv.1 secondary professions.
As for equipment, it's even more pitiful. Players are currently in a sorry state, and they haven't even unlocked the Game Store. Their outfits are basically just a bunch of clothes and pieces with high stats piled together. Don't worry about whether they're comfortable or not; at least they look good in terms of sheer strength.
"These people don't have much purchasing power, so we have to start supporting them from scratch."
Li Aoz thought for a moment, then put on an interested look, looked at the guild players, scratched his chin, and said, "I'm clearly meeting you guys for the first time, but you all seem strangely familiar. I was just here to have some fun, but I didn't expect you to be so enthusiastic. In that case, come with me, I'll show you something good."
As he spoke, he snapped his fingers.
Ping! Just as the players were getting excited, in the blink of an eye, their feet left the ground and they plummeted into the sky.
"I'm going to... stop!"
"Mom, I'm afraid of heights!"
"Ugh, I can't take it anymore, I want to go home—"
Li Aoz's "Gravity Express" showed no signs of slowing down despite the players' screams and cries; instead, it accelerated towards the clouds. Soon, when the players, all burdened with negative status effects like "dizziness" and "fear," finally touched the ground, they were all unsteady on their feet, their legs giving way, collapsing and sprawling, barely recognizable as human. Only a few players managed to stand upright, looking towards the settlement in the distance, where the words "Triangle Town" were clearly written.
"I feel an instant connection with you all. Let me show you around my laboratory."
