The God Demon Special Evolution Bead

Holding the object in his palm, Xiao Fan finally saw its true appearance.

A bead the size of a baby's fist, its entire body shimmering with a deep blue glow.

That blue wasn't static. If you looked closely, it was as if an entire condensed starry night had been sealed inside a transparent glass sphere.

Against the deep, dark background, countless tiny rays of light flowed and flickered slowly, as if unseen tides were surging within the bead, drawing in distant stars.

It felt like a dream, it was so beautiful!

"Where did this come from? I can't possibly forget such beautiful beads."

Xiao Fan racked his brains but still couldn't figure out when he had obtained the bead.

Seeing the notification to view the information, Xiao Fan decisively chose to view it.

God Demon Special Evolution Bead: Special Evolution Fragment that have been repaired and restored by God Demon Stone, retaining the magical power of the God Demon Stone. They can be used to create god-level Profession or to upgrade and evolve Profession.

Xiao Fan: 666!

He finally found out where his precious God Demon Stone had gone!

It turns out it was absorbed by that Special Evolution Fragment!

Xiao Fan knew that this Special Evolution Fragment could be fused with other Evolution Fragment that had attributes, but the system didn't say that it could fuse with the God Demon Stone! And it did so without his consent!

He had always believed that the God Demon Stone had been taken back by the system.

Of course, none of that is the main point!

The important point is!

God-tier Profession!

Haha! I've finally waited for you!

Xiao Fan's eyes lit up, and the corners of his mouth curved into an alarmingly wide smile.

It's finally here after such a long wait!

From the information about the God Demon Special Evolution Bead, Xiao Fan saw three key points.

First, Evolution Fragment can be repaired into Evolution Bead. Second, god-level Profession require Evolution Bead to create. Third, Profession can be upgraded!

With the God Demon Special Evolution Bead, Xiao Fan had to completely change his previous Profession plans.

He first tried to see if the God Demon Special Evolution Bead could be fused with other Evolution Fragment that had attributes.

"Sorry, special Evolution Bead can only be fused with Evolution Bead."

"OK."

Xiao Fan put away the Evolution Fragment.

Evolution Fragment are rare in the game now, let alone Evolution Bead; I've never even seen one!

The only one left was still in his possession; it required Special Evolution Fragment and God Demon Stone to synthesize.

This thing is too precious right now, so Xiao Fan decisively gave it up.

Although special Evolution Bead can fuse attributes, he doesn't know when he'll be able to obtain a second Evolution Bead.

Xiao Fan didn't want to wait any longer.

Besides, Profession can be upgraded, and there's still room for improvement.

Don't worry too much about the future; seize the moment.

Xiao Fan did not immediately create Profession.

With a few days left in the event, he can carefully consider his Profession.

Just then, Xiao Fan received a friend request.

Upon opening the message, Xiao Fan saw it was from Yun Zhongyao and accepted the request.

"I regret to inform you that Quan Zhong and Shen Long are not dead."

Yun Zhongyao immediately told Xiao Fan some bad news.

Xiao Fan was quite surprised.

The night before last, after the Zijin energy was exhausted, it fell into a deep sleep. Xiao Fan immediately left the city with Yun Zhongyao, the man in black.

At that time, he saw that the City of Kings was almost reduced to ruins.

The area of Level 5 City was so vast that Xiao Fan had no time to check whether Quan Zhong and Shen Si were dead or not.

It seems they're both quite lucky.

"After all, he's a high-level player; he certainly has some tricks up his sleeve."

While feeling regretful, Xiao Fan also felt a sense of urgency.

After this ordeal, Shen Long and the City of Kings will not pose a threat to him in the short term, but Xiao Fan must develop his strength as soon as possible.

Fortunately, things are looking promising for his Profession, and with his diligent leveling up these past few days, Shen Long might not be his match next time.

Thinking of this, Xiao Fan felt much more at ease.

Yun Zhongyao sent another message.

"Shen Long and Quan Zhong to the Real World. They'll probably try to get revenge. Be careful."

"Okay, I understand. Keep me informed if you have any news from your end," Xiao Fan replied.

Yun Zhongyao:...

Damn it, I've never seen such a shameless person.

His thoughts were interrupted, so Xiao Fan simply stopped thinking about it. Having not slept for two days, he fell asleep as soon as his head hit the pillow.

The next day, Xiao Fan teamed up with Jian Qingfeng to level up, as usual. Zhou He was also there this time, and brought some unexpected news.

"Let high school students enter the game ahead of time?" Xiao Fan's voice rose. "Why so suddenly?"

Zhou He spoke as he walked.

"<Cloud Sea> doesn't have an age limit for players, but we've noticed that players under 18 years old have almost half the attribute panel data compared to adults."

"This situation would greatly reduce their chances of survival in the Novice Zone, which is why we stipulate that players must be at least 18 years old to enter the game."

"But the situation is different now. Fierce Beast have invaded reality, and they can only gain the power to fight against future disasters by entering the game in advance."

"There's another very important point."

Zhou He paused for a moment, then continued.

"After this game update, experience is now dropped by monsters, and players can no longer use Core Power to level up. This also means that people in the Novice Village can no longer get stuck at a certain level."

"During these past few days of the event, most players from the eighteen Novice Village have left the Novice Zone. If we wait until after the college entrance exams next year, the Novice Village will be deserted, and new players will have no one to guide them. The advantage we've built Novice Village over the years will be gone."

There's one more thing Zhou He didn't mention: if the Fierce Beast really appears in the Real World, it's hard to say whether there will be a college entrance exam next year.

While there are still some veterans in the Novice Village, they can help guide these new players. New players in the future probably won't have this kind of treatment anymore.

Jian Qingfeng also sighed with admiration.

"After the experience points are updated and leveled up, the Novice Village will become a true Novice Village."

In the past, the Novice Village were dominated by various powerful clans who operated and paved the way for their descendants.

After leveling up using experience, unless these families are stuck at level 10 or never fight monsters again, they simply cannot be stuck at that level.

More importantly, once you can no longer purchase levels with Core Power, being stuck at a certain level in the Novice Village means you'll always be one step behind others.

Unlike before, clans can now compensate players stationed in the Novice Village with some Core Power, allowing them to directly purchase levels.

Thinking about it this way, letting these high school students enter the Novice Village early is the best choice.

Some people have suggested including junior high school students in the Novice Village, but this suggestion was quickly rejected.

Middle school students have even lower attributes and don't have much time to train in the Real World, so it's too dangerous for them to enter the game.

The state's goal is to empower these children, not to send them to their deaths.

Xiao Fan thought about how his younger cousins were starting high school this year, so he asked about the assignment method in the Novice Village.

"It's not decided yet. The eighteen Novice Village are all quite well-developed. However, the Zone 18 is the most special; it's where you left your Profession, and too many people want to send their children there."

"To be honest, ever since the news spread that high school students were going to be able to play the game, a lot of people have been trying to use their connections to get their juniors into the Zone 18."

Zhou He spoke with a touch of emotion.

Who would have thought that Zone 18 would go from being the worst Novice Village to the most popular Novice Village in just a few months?

And all of this was brought about by Xiao Fan.
