Leaderboards

The first thing Xiao Fan thought of after gaining Core Power was to upgrade and create skills.

But then a question occurred to him.

Previously, some players had already successfully changed jobs in Zone 18.

After changing jobs, the system will grant you additional Free Attribute Point.

Xiao Fan didn't know if this Free Attribute Point was only available upon the first job change, or if it was available with each level up after the job change, or if it was available during Profession evolution.

He needs to figure this out: if he gets the bonus every time he levels up after changing jobs, then he can't level up now.

Xiao Fan opened his friend list and asked Qi Guoguo, who had changed jobs.

"Brother Chen, your Dream Butterfly Flower Envoy Profession is amazing, it's truly awesome! Ever since I changed classes, I'm practically the hottest guy in our Zone 18! Even Soul Piercer and the others ask me to team up for dungeons. Having Profession really makes a difference, leveling up is incredibly fast, we'll be able to leave the Zone 18 and find you soon."

Qi Guoguo was so excited when he saw the message Xiao Fan sent him that he kept talking nonstop.

Only players who have changed jobs truly understand the value of Profession. Players with Profession and those Profession are not on the same level, okay?

Xiao Fan waited until Qi Guoguo finished expressing his excitement before asking about attribute points.

"No, I only received Free Attribute Point when I first changed jobs. I didn't receive any more as a reward for leveling up through quests later. As for whether evolution grants them, I honestly don't know, I haven't evolved yet."

Relieved to receive a definite answer, Xiao Fan felt a little melancholy at the same time.

He preferred to give it away.

Qi Guoguo: "But Brother Chen, I noticed that after changing jobs, although the attribute points don't change when leveling up, the healing amount is a little higher than before. I wonder if that counts as a hidden attribute point change."

After closing the dialog box and thinking carefully, Xiao Fan understood.

When creating Profession, there is a core attribute point to choose from, which is why healing increases after leveling up.

Xiao Fan guessed that the increase in healing was not reflected in the character's attribute points, but rather in changes to combat attributes.

It's like how Mage's spell damage increases with each level up.

However, their combat attributes haven't been activated yet, so it's not immediately apparent.

Combat attributes are related to level, so Xiao Fan doesn't need to worry that leveling up early will affect his later attributes.

"You can upgrade without worry." Xiao Fan began purchasing levels.

You have reached level 50.

The Leaderboard is now open and can be viewed in the game interface.

Congratulations on reaching number one on the Skill Leaderboard! Would you like to hide your ID?

"Congratulations on reaching ninth place on the Combat Power Leaderboard. Would you like to hide your ID?"

The Leaderboard is divided into four categories: level, combat power, skills, and equipment. It records the top 100 players in each category.

Xiao Fan immediately opened the Leaderboard.

The player ranked first was Jian Qingfeng at level 100, followed by Shen Long at level 99, and then Zhou He at level 98. Xiao Fan didn't recognize any of the other players.

He failed to make the list by a narrow margin of 50 levels.

The top spot on the Equipment Leaderboard remains held by Jian Qingfeng, with 760 points. Second place remains with Shen Long, at 740 points.

The <Armor Transformation> skill and equipment were probably not included in the score, so Xiao Fan failed to make the list with a huge disadvantage of 0 points.

Next are the two Leaderboard where Xiao Fan appeared.

Skill Leaderboard.

He currently tops the list with 1600 points. Next is Jian Qingfeng, in second place with 1020 points. Then comes Zhou He in third place with 1000 points, followed by Shen Long with 930 points.

Xiao Fan selling skill books to Jian Qingfeng and the others did indeed affect Shen Long's ranking.

It's worth noting that Shen Long had consistently ranked second in skills.

Xiao Fan's skill rating may seem low at first glance, but keep in mind he only has seven skills right now! If he were to max out his skill creation, he could easily break through the Leaderboard!

Finally, here's the Combat Power Leaderboard.

Jian Qingfeng remains in first place with 38,901 points, followed by Zhou He with 37,435 points, and the third place is not worth mentioning.

Xiao Fan ranked ninth with 35,220 points.

He discovered that the combat power Leaderboard were not just a composite score of the four lists combined, but also involved various aspects.

Xiao Fan's level, attributes, and equipment significantly lowered his score.

However, Xiao Fan still has 140 Free Attribute Point unused and 7 skills yet to be created.

If all the necessary equipment is available, ranking in the top three in combat power should be no problem.

"Hide."

It's not the time to reveal our identities during the Auction.

Besides, he's about to start developing new skills; if he doesn't hide it, everyone will know what he's doing—that won't do.

He wanted to find the right moment to reveal his true identity and shock everyone.

Back then, other players could guess from the Leaderboard that he was the owner of God-Tier Skill.

In other words, now is not the time to show off.

Xiao Fan hasn't been focusing on developing special abilities lately, but he's still actively taking action.

After reaching level 50, he unlocked two new traits.

Cooking Master and Beast Taming Expert.

Xiao Fan:...

He only grilled meat for Zijin a few times, how did he become Cooking Master?

He just signed a contract with Zijin, how did he Beast Taming Expert?

The Game System seems to have a serious problem; this feature is ridiculously overpowered.

Xiao Fan now understands a little why the skills created by the Blue Star are not of a high level.

This place is already a wasteland of imagination, and the attributes are so ridiculously overpowered—how were these skills even created?

No wonder everyone can only use low-level skills that don't have many special requirements.

"Luckily, I know a lot."

Xiao Fan needs many skills right now.

(Important!) A set of extremely powerful physical damage skills, at least four.

Having a mental attack skill is absolutely essential.

There's also a skill that can consume half of his health; this must be an active skill to help him protect himself using "Stealing Heaven and Changing Day".

For his final skill, Xiao Fan wanted to create something by fusing characteristics and elements. Considering he was currently using the Lightning Element, this skill would be a damage-dealing skill.

The seven skill slots have been allocated.

"First, create skills that combine unique elements."

This is the first time Xiao Fan has created this kind of combined skill, so there is a chance of failure.

If he fails, he can use his physical damage skill slot to try a couple more times.

Taking a deep breath, Xiao Fan began to think about how to create skills.

If you fail to create a skill, your attempt will be canceled, so it's best to succeed on your first try.

Xiao Fan thought for a long time before starting to add points.

First, each attribute was increased by 20 points, for a total of 100 points.

Xiao Fan never imagined that one day he would also be a hexagonal waste point.

Indeed, the truly strong eventually return to simplicity.

The last 40 points were allocated as follows: Intelligence increased by 20, Spirit by 10, and Constitution by 10.

In this way, his intelligence level reaches 110.

Having prepared everything, Xiao Fan activated his creation skill.

Please create skills for your character.

PS:

Now it's my turn to speak.

The initial concept of this book was very simple, and the outline and main storyline were also very straightforward.

However, many readers pointed out numerous shortcomings, so I began to revise it. As I revised it, the plot and outline became a bit off-track. There was nothing I could do but continue writing and try my best to improve the setting.

The main reason the plot can't develop is the protagonist's Profession.

Originally, I envisioned the protagonist's Profession to be connected to the background stories of those secret realms. However, due to two reasons—firstly, everyone had high expectations for the protagonist's Profession, and secondly, because the plot had deviated from its Profession and the class was difficult to integrate with the main storyline—I solicited suggestions for the protagonist's Profession once.

I hope the protagonist's Profession is a combat Profession, whether it's damage dealing, healing, or support, someone who can play a role in battle, and of course, someone who is also very powerful and unique.

I've read everyone's suggestions, and they seem a bit too functional. I hope that Profession serve the protagonist, growing stronger as they explore the game, rather than the protagonist serving the Profession and constantly doing things to make Profession stronger, which would negatively impact the main storyline.

We're once again looking for awesome Profession, as well as the skills highlighted in the article.
