The Great Dream
"Brother Shui Tuntun, how do you play the healing method?"
Xiao Fan raised his hand to ask a question.
Although he was an experienced healer, he had now returned to level one and was unfamiliar with how to play in this secret realm, so he wanted to ask Shui Tuntun about it.
But as soon as Xiao Fan finished asking his question, everyone in the group looked at him, their previously friendly expressions instantly turning into doubt and inquiry.
Xiao Fan was startled and immediately realized something was wrong.
Logically speaking, since he's a newbie, there's nothing wrong with him asking experienced players for tips on how to play the game.
But the way these people are looking at him now can only mean one thing...
The game system of this secret realm background world has been passed down for a long time, and everyone knows how to play it. That's why people like Shui Tuntun look at him the way he does when he asks them this question.
"Oh no, I was careless!"
Xiao Fan was greatly alarmed, and his brain began to race to find a solution.
"You don't know how to play?"
Shui Tuntun suddenly spoke, her gaze fixed on Xiao Fan as she asked the question, her right hand unconsciously reaching for the dagger at her waist.
Xiao Fan had no doubt that if his answer today did not satisfy him, the dagger would not hesitate to stab him.
After thinking for less than three seconds, Xiao Fan scratched his head and chuckled foolishly.
"Hehe, to be honest, I've admired violence since I was a child, and my ideal is to become the strongest warrior on the continent. I've never even looked into healing gameplay."
Xiao Fan had just heard the word "warrior" from Shui Tuntun's words.
According to him, entering the Land of Four Extremes and becoming a warrior is the ultimate goal for these players.
There's definitely nothing wrong with what he said.
Sure enough, after hearing his answer, the atmosphere around him immediately relaxed, and everyone's expressions towards him returned to normal.
Seeing this, Xiao Fan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"It seems the plot of this secret realm is quite complex; I'll have to be more careful in the future."
Although Shui Tuntun's expression towards Xiao Fan had improved considerably, she still clearly harbored some doubts.
However, Xiao Fan's answer did sound fine.
Becoming a warrior of the Land of Four Extremes is the ultimate dream of every Apostle, or rather, everyone on the continent.
If the focus shifts towards treatment, this grand dream can essentially be abandoned.
Therefore, many people in mainland China are like this silly young man in front of me, never studying or learning how to treat illnesses.
Take the Apostle in their village, for example. There were twenty of them, and not a single one received treatment.
That's why when Xiao Fan asked him about his career path, he suggested he choose the treatment route.
With treatment, their village's chances of winning will be much higher.
Thinking of this, Shui Tuntun patted Xiao Fan on the shoulder and said earnestly.
"Advocating violence and learning healing are not contradictory. Who says Healing Apostle can't be violent? I believe in you. Even if you choose the path of healing, you will definitely become a warrior of the Land of Four Extremes in the future."
Shui Tuntun's words revealed a little more information.
Such people are called Apostle, and the ultimate goal of Apostle should be to compete for the title of warrior of the Land of Four Extremes.
Xiao Fan rolled his eyes inwardly.
He knew without a doubt that the Apostle's choice of a healing path meant he was essentially out of luck with the Warrior of Four Extremes.
Shui Tuntun was afraid he wouldn't choose treatment, so she made empty promises to him.
But...
There is no contradiction between advocating violence and learning therapy.
Xiao Fan completely agreed with this point.
Thinking of this, Xiao Fan said with excitement.
"Brother Shui Tuntun, is what you're saying true? Can learning healing really make one a warrior of the Land of Four Extremes?"
Shui Tuntun choked on his words; he just made up a false promise, and how could this person actually believe it?
Where did this idiot come from?
Seeing Xiao Fan's excited and hopeful expression, Shui Tuntun felt much more at ease.
This guy seems a bit simple-minded; he's probably not Pseudo-Apostle.
"Of course! No matter the development path, anyone who becomes strong enough can become Warrior of Four Extremes. Moreover, the more difficult the path, the stronger one becomes upon success, and the more likely one is to gain the recognition of the Phenomenon of the Four Extremes."
Xiao Fan:...
It's obvious this person really thinks he's a fool.
"That's good, it'll make things easier for me in the future."
Moreover, Xiao Fan obtained another piece of information from Shui Tuntun.
The Phenomenon of the Four Extremes.
They should belong to the managers of the Land of Four Extremes, or the true controllers.
Xiao Fan became increasingly interested in the backstory of this secret realm.
However, what are the conditions for clearing the secret realm? Where did Jian Qingfeng and the others go? Did they become so-called Apostle like me, waiting for battle in some village?
That evening, Shui Tuntun called Xiao Fan over and began to teach him the healing techniques.
It's clear that he genuinely wants treatment.
"Jiu Chen, healing has always been a very powerful area of development, but people in our world simply don't understand healing. I see that you have extraordinary potential, so today I will teach you the art of healing. I hope you can carry the faith of the Healing Apostle on your journey and reach the Land of Four Extremes."
Shui Tuntun looked at Xiao Fan solemnly.
Xiao Fan was so excited he almost raised his hand to swear an oath.
"Brother Shui Tuntun, I will! If I become Warrior of Four Extremes, I will never forget your guidance!"
Shui Tuntun:... Damn it, why am I suddenly feeling a little guilty?
No! For the sake of treatment, we absolutely cannot be soft-hearted!
With that in mind, Shui Tuntun finally began to speak.
"The four poles represent four elements: water, fire, metal, and earth."
"The Monster Beast outside contain these four elements. Killing Monster Beast allows you to obtain these four elements from their bodies. You know that, right?"
Xiao Fan wanted to say he knew, but he was afraid it was Shui Tuntun testing him.
So he chose to remain silent, resting his chin on his hand with an earnest and interested expression, his eyes encouraging Shui Tuntun to continue.
Seeing his expression, Shui Tuntun pursed her lips and continued speaking.
"When we reach level 100 and our elemental power reaches its peak, we can summon the Phenomenon of the Four Extremes. As long as we choose the correct Phenomenon of the Four Extremes, we can enter the Land of Four Extremes and become true warriors."
Xiao Fan frowned.
He remembered that Shui Tuntun had previously said that only those who defeated other villages would have a chance to enter the Land of Four Extremes, so how come it's now about leveling up to 100?
To avoid arousing suspicion, Xiao Fan dared not ask too many questions and could only silently remember them, waiting for an opportunity to find the answers later.
"These are all basics. Next, we'll talk about combat and healing; these are the most important!"
Xiao Fan quickly perked up his ears to listen attentively, as this concerned whether he could make it to the Land of Four Extremes!
"First, we need to determine our development direction, that is, our four pillars of influence."
"Choose one of the four elements as your development direction, and from now on only hunt Monster Beast belonging to the same element as your own."
"For example, if you choose the Fire Element, you will only hunt Fire Element Monster Beast from now on."
Xiao Fan:...
Damn! When Shui Tuntun asked him about his development direction, it turned out she was asking him which of the four elements he should choose!
However, there is no healing among the four elements, so why would Shui Tuntun tell him about a healing method? That's absurd.
We don't understand, and we dare not ask.
Xiao Fan could only pretend to continue listening to the lecture.
