The official special departments could not devote all their energy to resettling refugees. Jing City's authorities could receive at most 1,000 people a day.

Therefore, she had never gotten her turn.

Martial techniques were publicly available for free, but unfortunately, Yun Xi's Constitution Attribute could not keep up.

Considering that Blue Star was not particularly dangerous and she did not log in very often, Yun Xi later became busy with her studies, and this was consequently overlooked.

It was not until Blue Star was completely invaded by the Godfall Continent that Yun Xi realized Blue Star was not unchanging after all.

Everyone, including her, had no choice but to log in to the Godfall Continent and earn a chance to survive.

After eating Coarse Wheat Cakes and lump fruit for a long time, her fortunes finally changed after she met her master, and she officially embarked on her path as a sorcerer.

Once this announcement was released, everyone understood that the authorities had already done their utmost.

Sorcery Pattern Scrolls were far too expensive. Even if the authorities spent a fortune to buy a few, they could not distribute them freely because of their "Patent Contracts."

The only option was to use the "accepting disciples" method, having those who had first learned sorcery personally take on and teach disciples. But it was impossible to include everyone in this arrangement. That simply was not realistic.

They could only use trade contracts to screen for some people with high Spirit Attributes and provide them with careful instruction.

Martial techniques, meanwhile, were publicly available for free. In this way, the authorities had at least given everyone an explanation.

At the same time, the authorities called on the entire population to study the publicly available martial techniques.

Even if you intended to follow the path of a sorcerer, while there was no sorcery to learn, learning martial techniques first and strengthening your own abilities was always better than being unprepared.

By now, nearly everyone had placed most of their attention on the Godfall Continent and was happy to head there to explore.

But there were also some people unwilling to take risks. They felt it had nothing to do with them. Blue Star was still safe, after all, and as long as they did not log in, the danger could not reach them.

Practicing martial techniques was so exhausting. Even if they mastered them, they still could not become superhumans.

Before the Godfall Continent appeared, soldiers, boxers, mercenaries, and other people in specialized professions had been no different from them. Even if they changed class and became martial artists, they were still just as ordinary.

Besides, not everyone could endure this kind of hardship.

In her previous life, Yun Xi had not expected the Godfall Continent to descend upon Blue Star either, so she had not placed much importance on training in martial techniques.

Her initial Constitution was only six points. It was not that her willpower was weak; it was simply that, due to her Constitution, she could not even keep up with half of the high-intensity training plan the authorities had provided for the initial stage...

Most people were in the same situation as her. They truly had the desire, but not the ability.

With everyone potentially possessing superpowers, society instead gradually became more stable.

During the first two closed betas, only a small portion of people had obtained superpowers, and they might have developed a sense of superiority.

People of poor character might have wanted to do something bad, but now that everyone could log in to the Godfall Continent, the possibility of crime had instead decreased.

Because you never knew whether your next target would be a powerful sorcerer who could casually hit you with a sorcery spell that took half your life.

With the authorities' reassurance, the refugees also had something to look forward to. The authorities had already provided a specific way to shed their refugee status: those who wanted to improve themselves could work hard at learning martial techniques, while those who simply wanted to protect their lives could do so easily by not logging in.

Even so, many people still lost their lives every day because of various accidents.

It was not only refugees. Official players could also lose their lives.

This was when the use of Resurrection Talismans became apparent.

The rewards issued by the system were not forcibly bound, so Resurrection Talismans could also be used on other people.

Immediately afterward, all kinds of related trading exchanges opened.

Resources from the Godfall Continent began circulating among the people, and Copper Coins became an important new currency.

Extremely precious items like Resurrection Talismans required the signing of a purchase contract. The buyer and seller would jointly bear the cost of the contract scroll, 50 Copper Coins each, ensuring the authenticity of the goods.

But Resurrection Talismans circulating on the market were still exceedingly rare. Most people's first choice was to keep them for themselves or their families.

Only in very rare circumstances—for example, when they absolutely needed to purchase other precious resources from the Godfall Continent—would they be willing to take out a Resurrection Talisman for sale.

At the same time, many people also noticed the business opportunities involved. They took advantage of the differences between Blue Star players' login locations in the Godfall Continent to trade with others, buying low and selling high.

The authorities used this method to earn currency with decent results, and openly announced it to the public.

For example, A bought goods at his login location for only 60 Copper Coins. After bringing them back to Blue Star, A handed them to B, who sold them at B's login location for the high price of 100 Copper Coins.

One hundred minus sixty left a trading margin of 40 Copper Coins.

With A and B working together, each could earn 20 Copper Coins—a guaranteed profit with almost no risk.

A and B also did not need to worry about an unfair distribution. They only needed to sign a cooperation contract.

Precisely because of this loophole, quite a few powerful people had been created on Blue Star through the accumulation of its massive currency reserves. After the Godfall Continent completely invaded, Blue Star was not wiped out in a single stroke.

After all, the Godfall Continent's invasion did not care whether your side was a "newbie zone." The monsters that appeared randomly varied in level, killed anyone they saw, and possessed not the slightest trace of humanity.

As usual, Yun Xi browsed through the news online, then organized the key information that could currently be disclosed and sent it to Chen Nana.

This time, the information she sent was mainly about Sub-professions.

More than two months had passed since the first closed beta began. It was normal for people to know this information by now.

Yun Xi placed particular emphasis on the Chef and Apothecary Sub-professions. Blue Star's recipes and medicine formulas were both viable.

She had already learned all the publicly available medicine formulas, but Flower Country had certainly retained some precious formulas that had not been made public and that ordinary people had no way to learn. It would be fine to let the authorities research them themselves.

Although everything on Blue Star would be contaminated after the Godfall Continent completely invaded, and even some secret medicine formulas might no longer be producible, perhaps the authorities would find a way to learn Purification Technique.

At that time, these secret formulas would not be buried and forgotten.

Even if she said nothing, the authorities would sooner or later discover the existence of Sub-professions as time passed. But that would not happen for several more months.

Yun Xi brought it up now because she wanted the authorities to begin cultivating talent in this field ahead of time.

Although she did not intend to join the authorities' core departments, Flower Country was still her homeland. Providing whatever information she could was something she ought to do.

Including all the other "information that could be provided" that Yun Xi could think of, she sent it all to Chen Nana as well.
