Ye Luo's Warning

I Want to Become Immortal looked completely bewildered, seemingly intimidated by the game's complex class system. After a long silence, he suddenly asked, "Then, if I want to unlock a Magic Class, do you have any advice, sister?"

"Heh, you've got some nerve asking that. Everyone wants to switch to a Magic Class, but it's not that easy. I'm not even sure how I'm going to play yet. I do have some theoretical speculations regarding this, but keep in mind, these are just things a friend told me; I'm not even sure if they're true."

I Want to Become Immortal said earnestly, "Please, sister, tell me. Whether it works or not won't be your fault."

Xiao Jie immediately pricked up his ears.

Although Ye Luo's tone was modest, he felt that this girl definitely had a solid grasp of the situation.

"Well, then I'll tell you. Different 'Errands' require specific attributes to obtain. For example, gathering herbs requires high Perception.

Errands are often linked to classes; for instance, if you've completed the 'Hunter' errand, you'll likely unlock the 'Archer' class at level 10.

If you've worked as a 'Woodcutter,' you'll very likely unlock the Swordsman or Ranger classes at level ten.

So, theoretically, there must be Errands related to magic. As long as you obtain such an errand, you can unlock a Magic Class once you reach the required level.

Naturally, these Errands have their own attribute requirements. For example, if you want to cultivate immortality, your Spirituality must be high. If you stack your Spirituality early on, you might trigger a Serendipitous Encounter related to cultivation and unlock an errand like 'Daoist Disciple.'

Perhaps you'll encounter some mysterious master who sees your high Spirituality and decides you're a good seed for cultivation, taking you on as an apprentice.

Once you become a Daoist Disciple, you can naturally unlock the Daoist class later on."

Xiao Jie nodded to himself; he would give this logic a perfect score.

Ye Luo continued, "But as I said before, this is just a theory. If you dump a bunch of attribute points into Spirituality and end up not triggering a Serendipitous Encounter or unlocking a Magic Class, those points are wasted. A physical class with stacked Spirituality is basically trash, and Grinding Levels will be exceptionally difficult."

That was true; it made sense. If all points were put into Spirituality, leveling up would definitely be a headache.

Xiao Jie found her reasoning sound, but as for the leveling issue, he had a sudden flash of insight and spotted a key point.

"What if I cap my level? For example, if I reach level 9 and put all my attributes into Spirituality, then try to find a way to trigger a Serendipitous Encounter—as long as I don't level up, my class won't be finalized, giving me infinite time to search for such encounters."

Ye Luo couldn't help but let out a surprised "Oh?"

"You're quite good at Drawing Parallels, aren't you? That's right, theoretically, you can do exactly that. My friend mentioned this method to me, and quite a few people know about it. Many players who reach level 9, 19, or 29 without triggering a magic-related Serendipitous Encounter might stop leveling altogether just to find the encounter they desire.

They wander the world.

However, a level 9 alt wandering the world is very dangerous. Usually, you need a high-level character to protect you to pull that off. None of the maps related to immortals, demons, or ghosts are low-level; most players who cap their levels do so at 19 or 29."

As expected.

There was never a shortage of smart people. If he could think of this method, others could too.

Xiao Jie looked at the level above Ye Luo's head: 8.

Could this girl be capping her level too?

He suspected this because Ye Luo knew far too much; she didn't seem like a newcomer at all. Furthermore, her demeanor was exceptionally confident, like a veteran player leveling an alt, which made him unable to shake the thought.

"Sister, what path do you intend to take?" I Want to Become Immortal couldn't help but ask.

Ye Luo replied indifferently, "That question is not within the scope of our consultation. I have no comment."

The kid is too reckless, Xiao Jie thought. How could he ask such a sensitive question so casually? Still, he felt that Ye Luo had definitely planned her path, most likely a class related to Perception.

"Then, besides the Divine General, what other dual-class combinations are there?"

"I don't know many. Many classes probably haven't been discovered yet. After all, in a game with no room for error, the cost of trial and error is too high. Many people prefer to play it safe and follow paths that others have already paved.

Besides, the information I obtained is from a long time ago; perhaps someone has developed more classes recently.

These are about the only ones I know:

Martial General + Divine Prayer = Divine General.

Martial General + Spirit Master = Netherworld Ghost General.

Daoist + Spirit Master = Celestial Master.

Beast Tamer + Shaman/Daoist = Sorcerer.

Swordswoman + Swordsman = Heroic Knight.

I do know quite a few advanced classes.

Swordswoman — Sword Master — Sword Saint.

Martial General — Elite Cavalry Officer — General of Agile Cavalry.

Daoist — Formation Master — Mystic Gate Evasion Master.

Daoist — Thunder Law Master — Thunder Controlling True Man.

Daoist — Illusionist — Evil Daoist.

The Daoist class has many advancements with various development paths...

Thief — Flying Thief — Sky Soaring Bandit.

Martial Monk — Martial Monk Master — Arhat Monk.

Archer — Sharpshooter..."

"Wait a second, why do the ones after that only have one advancement?"

"Who knows? It's possible there really is only one advancement, or perhaps the subsequent advancements haven't been discovered by anyone yet. Of course, as I said, this is all information from a long time ago."

"Furthermore, there is a hierarchy among classes. The harder a class is to unlock, the better the perks it tends to provide. For instance, a Martial General is far superior to a Spearman. Even though both are basic classes, the Martial General not only gains Horsemanship but also aura skills."

"However, the difficulty to unlock it is much higher. You need to reach Mastery in any weapon skill before level 10, plus Mastery in Horsemanship, and you must also raise your reputation in your home province to 'Honored' before you can settle on the class."

"As for classes like the Spearman or Battle Axe Warrior, you can just grind them out by using the corresponding weapons; they are the most generic classes."

"Besides, there is another issue with these types of classes: their skills are completely useless in reality. They aren't even as good as a Qi Practitioner or a Flying Thief, which at least offer some supernatural abilities."

Isn't that the truth, Xiao Jie thought. Even if one were to play a Physical Class, at the very least, it should be one that knows internal energy or the Light Body Technique, so one could at least show off a little in reality.

If you pick a Spearman or an Axe Warrior, aside from not needing a stunt double when filming a movie, he really couldn't think of any use for them.

You could rely on stacking attribute points to become an athlete or a Fighter, but that would be the extent of it.

Of course, the best ones are the Magic Classes. Magic, after all—just pulling off a trick or two would be incredibly satisfying in reality. And when you think about it carefully, combat-oriented spells aren't actually that valuable; the truly useful ones are support skills like Healing, Disease Removal Technique, Invisibility Spell, and Circle Light Spell...

The more he thought about it, the more Xiao Jie felt how prescient I Want to Become Immortal's decision to trade for this information was. This intelligence was definitely worth far more than one or two pieces of equipment.

However, this Ye Luo was quite a straightforward person; she said so much the moment she was asked.

This only made him more certain that she was definitely a high-level player.

"Alright, that's all I know. If there are no more questions, I have things to attend to. Please excuse me, you two." Ye Luo said, turning to leave, but after a few steps, she turned back around.

She said in a sincere tone, "A bit of personal advice: it's best if you don't get ahead of yourselves right now, thinking about all these lofty things. Just find a way to survive in the game first. After all, you only have one life."
