Choice

Previously, she had heard other official players discussing how beginner villages usually only offered three days of free accommodation.

She figured that since the village was so sparsely populated, the little wooden cabin she was staying in would be empty anyway, so they might as well let her stay. She saw it as compensation for them 'driving her away' in a roundabout way.

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

[Ding, Main Quest 2 activated:

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

Quest Completion Reward: 100 copper coins, one Low-level Resurrection Talisman.

Quest Failure Penalty: None.]

[Ding, Main Quest 2 completed. Reward of 100 copper coins and one Low-level Resurrection Talisman received. Automatically deposited into system account.]

Yun Xi mused that official players' main quests were indeed based on actual circumstances.

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

Leaving the village chief's wooden house and returning to her own, Yun Xi took out the Low-level Resurrection Talisman from her pocket.

The Low-level Resurrection Talisman could only be used by characters below level 10, and each person could only use it once in their lifetime. Its side effects were similar to the Rebirth Divine Stone: resurrection would weaken certain mental attributes.

This was also the greatest benefit for official players. Many entered the game world in a daze and triggered the death conditions without realizing it. This resurrection talisman gave people another chance to survive.

However, not all official players could obtain it; they had to complete corresponding main quests.

In her case, the condition for obtaining this resurrection talisman was to learn a martial skill or a sorcery before heading to Qinglan Town, meaning within one month.

If she chose to stay, she would likely still need to learn a martial skill or a sorcery within a month. However, for them, Blue Star players, the first closed beta only lasted ten days, giving them only ten days to learn.

As for refugee players, unless they shed their refugee status and obtained official residency within ten days, they wouldn't even have the chance to take on quests.

Yun Xi possessed the Rebirth Divine Stone, so she likely wouldn't need this Low-level Resurrection Talisman. However, before reaching level 10, this talisman would undoubtedly serve as a good shield.

Yun Xi searched through the 0.29% of inheritance she had received in her mind. Among the contents related to Talisman Masters, there was no method for drawing resurrection talismans.

Although this Low-level Resurrection Talisman was labeled "low-level," it was clearly not a talisman that a novice could draw.

Her thoughts racing, Yun Xi began to learn sorcery.

In her previous life, she didn't have many avenues for learning sorcery. Besides the five sorceries taught by her Sorcerer teacher, she also acquired two more through completing serendipity quests.

Among them were three low-level sorceries, two intermediate sorceries, and two advanced sorceries.

As a wild Sorcerer, learning seven sorceries was quite good, especially since she didn't want to join a large faction and sell her life.

Currently, Yun Xi was level 0, so she could only learn low-level sorceries. The low-level sorceries she mastered in her previous life, besides Basic Waterball, were only Basic Water Arrow and Basic Water Splash.

Basic Water Arrow, as the name suggested, fired a water arrow that could inflict magical damage on enemies.

Basic Water Splash, on the other hand, was purely for aesthetic purposes, incapable of causing damage, with only the effects of "water manipulation" and "viewing."

Basic Water Arrow was still somewhat useful, but Yun Xi didn't plan on learning Basic Water Splash again.

With the foundation from her previous life, similar to the process of learning Basic Waterball, Yun Xi quickly and effortlessly mastered Basic Water Arrow.

She continued to browse through the Inheritance Crystal, carefully selecting and arranging the sorceries she would learn next.

[Offensive - Basic Fireball]

[Defensive - Basic Light Guard, Basic Counterattack]

[Healing - Basic Heal]

[Support - Basic Appraisal, Basic Immobilization, Basic Purify, Basic Wish]

Ultimately, Yun Xi chose these eight basic sorceries.

For offensive sorceries, Yun Xi had already learned Basic Waterball and Basic Water Arrow. Adding Fireball, which dealt the highest damage to strange creatures, would be sufficient.

As for Light Guard and Counterattack, they were the best defensive sorceries Yun Xi had found.

Light Guard could envelop Yun Xi in a defensive aura with no time limit. Before the aura was depleted by attacks, Yun Xi could ignore any incoming attacks.

This meant Yun Xi could maintain Light Guard indefinitely, no longer fearing accidents or sneak attacks.

Counterattack could reflect damage, playing a crucial role in battles against strange creatures.

Basic Heal needed no further explanation.

Among the four support sorceries, Basic Appraisal was extremely important, especially in the wild. Without Appraisal, one could barely move; it could appraise anything below its corresponding level, including strange creatures disguised as humans.

Immobilization was for combat support, and Purify could purify the strange energy pollution of various natural treasures in the wild.

Wish was a legendary sorcery, and Yun Xi had no intention of abandoning it.

Among these eight sorceries, Fireball was the most common, but it was not a sorcery that Blue Star inhabitants were qualified to learn.

Like Appraisal, Heal, and Purify, Fireball was also a sorcery not openly taught by the natives of the Godfall Continent.

The reason was simple: Spiritual Fire was a special resource that dealt extremely high damage to strange creatures.

Just like the bonfires burning at night in the novice village, they had to be ignited by Spiritual Fire to possess the effect of repelling strange creatures.

As for Light Guard, Immobilization, and Counterattack... Yun Xi had never heard of any Sorcerer casting related sorceries in her previous life. They were likely ancient sorceries whose inheritance had been lost.

All eight of these sorceries were knowledge and inheritances that Yun Xi had only dreamed of in her previous life. Yet, this time, thanks to the treasure vault's inheritance, she had gained the opportunity to learn them with ease.

Unlike the ease of learning Basic Waterball and Basic Water Arrow, learning a completely new sorcery still required some effort...

Fortunately, her Spirit attribute was 29 points. If it had been the initial 9 points... She remembered it took her a full month to learn Basic Waterball back then.

During the remaining nine days of the internal test, Yun Xi didn't have many demands. Being able to learn two new sorceries would be enough, three would be even better.

'Basic Light Guard' and 'Basic Fireball' were Yun Xi's top choices, followed by 'Basic Appraisal'.

After everything was arranged, Yun Xi began to formally learn 'Basic Light Guard'.

Looking at the sorcery patterns belonging to Basic Light Guard within the Inheritance Crystal, Yun Xi attempted to sketch them out slowly.

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

After the entire morning, Yun Xi's progress in learning 'Basic Light Guard' was less than one-tenth complete.

Compared to Basic Waterball, the sorcery patterns for Basic Light Guard were more complex and harder to memorize.

The difficulty of sketching them using Spiritual Energy increased by more than tenfold.

Yun Xi frowned slightly. If she continued at this pace, she wouldn't be able to learn Basic Light Guard in nine days.

However, she had to travel to Qinglan Town with the village chief next month. Without Basic Light Guard... the danger level would significantly increase.
