Choosing

In her previous life, she had heard the official players discuss that ordinary beginner villages only arranged three days of free lodging.

It made sense. There were too few people in this village, and the small wooden hut she was staying in would have been empty anyway, so they had let her use it—as compensation for finding a roundabout way to "drive her away."

"Adventurer, the Godfall Continent is extremely dangerous. Before you head to Qinglan Town, I hope you can gain some ability to protect yourself."

[Ding, Main Quest Two has been activated:

Before heading to Qinglan Town, please learn one martial skill or one technique.

Quest Completion Reward: 100 Copper Coins and one Low-level Resurrection Talisman.

Quest Failure Penalty: None.]

[Ding, Main Quest Two has been completed. You have received 100 Copper Coins and one Low-level Resurrection Talisman. They have been automatically deposited into your system account.]

Yun Xi pondered this. So the main quests for official players proceeded according to the actual circumstances.

And there was also the Low-level Resurrection Talisman...

After leaving the Village Chief's wooden hut and returning to her own room, Yun Xi took the Low-level Resurrection Talisman from her pocket.

The Low-level Resurrection Talisman could only revive characters below Level 10. Each person could use it only once in their lifetime, and its side effect was similar to that of the Rebirth Divine Stone: revival would weaken one's Spirit Attribute to a certain extent.

This was also the greatest benefit official players received. Many people entered the new world in a daze, unaware of when they might trigger a death condition. This Resurrection Talisman gave them one more chance to survive.

However, not every official player could obtain one. They had to complete the corresponding main quest first.

In her case, the condition for obtaining this Resurrection Talisman was to learn one martial skill or one technique within a month—that was, before heading to Qinglan Town.

If she chose to stay behind, she would probably also need to learn one martial skill or one technique within a month. However, for the Blue Star players, the first beta test lasted only ten days, so they had only ten days to learn.

As for the refugee players, unless they escaped their refugee status and obtained official residency within ten days, they would not even have the chance to take on quests.

Yun Xi possessed the Rebirth Divine Stone, so there was a high probability that she would never need this Resurrection Talisman. But before Level 10, this Resurrection Talisman was undoubtedly an excellent shield.

Yun Xi searched through the 0.29% of the inheritance she had received. Among the contents related to Talisman Masters, there was no method for drawing a Resurrection Talisman.

Although this Low-level Resurrection Talisman carried the word "low-level," it clearly was not a talisman a beginner could draw.

Her thoughts turning, Yun Xi began learning techniques.

In her previous life, she had not had many ways to learn techniques. Aside from the five techniques taught by her sorcerer teacher, there were also two techniques she had obtained by completing a Serendipity Mission.

Three were low-level techniques, two were mid-level techniques, and two were high-level techniques.

As a self-taught sorcerer, being able to learn seven techniques was already quite impressive. After all, she had not wanted to join a major faction and risk her life for them.

Yun Xi was only Level 0 now, so she could learn only low-level techniques. Of the low-level techniques she had mastered in her previous life, aside from Basic Waterball, she knew only Basic Water Arrow and Basic Water Splash.

As its name suggested, Basic Water Arrow fired a water arrow that could inflict technique damage on an enemy.

Basic Water Splash, meanwhile, was purely an ornamental technique. It could not deal any damage and had only the effects of "controlling water" and "display."

Basic Water Arrow was somewhat useful, but Yun Xi did not plan to learn Basic Water Splash again.

With the foundation from her previous life, and following the same process as when she had learned Basic Waterball, Yun Xi quickly and effortlessly mastered Basic Water Arrow.

She continued flipping through the Inheritance Crystal, carefully selecting and arranging the techniques she would learn next.

[Attack—Basic Fireball]

[Defense—Basic Light Guard, Basic Counterattack]

[Healing—Basic Heal]

[Support—Basic Appraisal, Basic Immobilization, Basic Purification, Basic Wish]

In the end, Yun Xi chose these eight basic techniques.

As for attack techniques, Yun Xi had already learned Basic Waterball and Basic Water Arrow. Adding Fireball Technique, which dealt the most damage to monsters, was more than enough.

As for Light Control Technique and Counter Attack Technique, they were the best defensive techniques Yun Xi had found.

Light Control Technique could surround Yun Xi with a defense halo that had no time limit. Before the halo was depleted by attacks, Yun Xi could ignore any attack.

This meant that Yun Xi could maintain Light Control Technique continuously and no longer needed to fear accidents or ambushes.

Counter Attack Technique could reflect damage, making it crucial in battles against monsters.

Healing Technique needed no further explanation.

Among the four support techniques, Basic Appraisal was extremely important. Especially in the wilderness, it was impossible to take even a step without Appraisal Skill. It could appraise anything below a corresponding level, including monsters disguised as humans.

Immobilization was used to assist in combat, while Purification Technique could cleanse the monster aura pollution from all kinds of natural treasures in the wilderness.

Wish Technique was a legendary technique, and Yun Xi could not possibly give it up.

Of these eight techniques, Fireball Technique was the most common, but even it was not something the people of Blue Star were qualified to learn.

Like Appraisal Skill, Healing Technique, and Purification Technique, Fireball Technique was also a technique the natives of the Godfall Continent kept secret.

There was no other reason: spirit fire was a special resource, and it dealt exceptionally high damage to monsters.

Just like the bonfires burning at night in the beginner village, it had to be lit with spirit fire to gain the effect of driving away monsters.

As for Light Control Technique, Immobilization, and Counter Attack Technique... Yun Xi had never heard of any sorcerer using such techniques in her previous life. They were probably ancient techniques whose inheritances had already been lost.

All eight of these techniques were knowledge inheritances that Yun Xi could only have yearned for in her previous life. Yet in this life, thanks to the treasure vault inheritance, she had effortlessly gained the opportunity to learn them.

However, unlike the ease of learning Water Ball Technique and Water Arrow Technique, learning entirely new techniques still required some effort...

Fortunately, her Spirit Attribute was 29 points. If she had had only the initial 9 points... she still remembered that learning Basic Waterball had taken her a full month.

For the remaining nine days of the beta test, Yun Xi did not ask for much. It would be enough if she could learn two new techniques; learning three would be even better.

Light Control Technique and Fireball Technique were Yun Xi's first choices, with Appraisal Skill coming next.

After arranging everything, Yun Xi began formally studying Light Control Technique.

Looking at the Sorcery Patterns belonging to Light Control Technique in the Inheritance Crystal, Yun Xi tried to outline them slowly.

The process of learning knowledge was as dull as ever. When Yun Xi opened her eyes again, it was already noon.

After an entire morning, Yun Xi's progress in learning Light Control Technique was still less than one-twentieth.

Compared with Water Ball Technique, the Sorcery Patterns of Light Control Technique were even more complex and difficult to memorize.

The difficulty of outlining them with spiritual energy had increased by more than tenfold.

Yun Xi frowned slightly. At this rate, she would not be able to learn Light Control Technique in nine days.

But next month, she would be heading to Qinglan Town with the Village Chief. Without Light Control Technique... the danger would increase considerably.
