CHAPTER 897: CHAPTER 643: OUR ADVENTURE HAS ONLY JUST BEGUN

"Oh my god... there’s really no red name notification! Is this a bug or cheating?"

"Cheating, right? It must be cheating, right? Otherwise, how could she be so strong?"

The more the players discussed, the more they felt something was wrong, and the discussion gradually shifted from her strength to whether she was cheating...

Even the people at Gale were hesitating.

No other reason, it’s just that her displayed strength was too exaggerated, and the lack of red name notification was too strange.

Until All-Star Acan snorted coldly and cast the assassin’s skill [Intimidation], capturing everyone’s attention at once.

Skill [Intimidation], a type of mental skill, directly exerts pressure on the consciousness of all targets within range to achieve a mind-shocking effect.

With this skill unleashed, the hall was in chaos:

"Oh my god... Acan, don’t randomly use [Intimidation]! This skill is really creepy..."

"Damn! Scared me to death, I thought I was being watched by some dirty thing..."

The players were startled, and the discussion died down.

At this moment, All-Star Acan sneered and said:

"Look at you all, getting defeated and then assuming others are cheating? Stop making excuses for your own lack of skill."

"But... Can Ju, she didn’t trigger the red name! How do you explain that? Last time in the Elf Forest, when we were fighting over territory with Azeroth, even a control skill was judged as a red name!"

A player retorted.

Acan glanced at them and shook his head slightly.

He gestured to the priest player standing beside him and said:

"Dora B Dream, explain to everyone."

Dora B Dream is the priest player’s ID. She’s the only one in the All-Star lineup this time who has the priest profession as her main job and is a silver player.

She carefully observed the light green bubble floating in mid-air, her expression serious.

A moment later, a look of amazement flashed in her eyes.

"No, everyone misunderstood; Gale didn’t cheat. It’s just that... her understanding of skills in ’Elf Kingdom’ has probably reached the pinnacle..."

The priest player shook her head as she spoke.

Upon hearing this, many players directed puzzled looks her way:

"No cheating? What does that mean?"

"Then why didn’t she trigger the red name?"

Facing the skeptical gazes, the priest player sighed and explained:

"Because what Gale used wasn’t a control skill at all, but a recovery skill."

Saying this, she looked at the members of the Holy Temple Knights floating in the air and continued:

"If I’m not mistaken, this should be a five-ring recovery Divine Art from the priest profession, called [Mass Healing Orb], which is an advanced version of [Healing Soul]."

"I’ve seen Alice perform this skill before. Its effect is to create a bubble that wraps around the target to heal injuries. Its advantage is a wide coverage area, able to heal multiple targets, while its disadvantage is that the target loses the ability to act during healing..."

"Gale simply used it differently, by turning [Mass Healing Orb] into a control skill. And a body-healing skill naturally wouldn’t be judged as an attack by the system."

"Wow... it can be used like that? My weird knowledge just increased!"

The players widened their eyes.

"So... Gale is just using the skill to perfection..."

The priest player marveled.

After speaking, she paused before continuing:

"Actually, this skill is easy to break. As long as your magic power is higher than the caster’s, you can break free. But Gale’s magic power is probably no less than Xian Miao Ju’s, so these Azeroth guys can only stay put."

"But, isn’t five-ring Divine Art required to be of at least silver middle rank?"

Another player asked in puzzlement.

This time, before the priest player could answer, All-Star Acan chuckled:

"Heh, do you think Gale’s six-god gear is just for show... If Little Xian Miao can rely on gear to cast Falling Meteor Technique, isn’t it easy for Gale to throw a five-ring skill?"

"But isn’t she a Druid?"

Acan: ...

"When did you get the illusion that Gale doesn’t dual-train as a priest?"

He looked at the teammate speechlessly.

The priest player also nodded in agreement:

"Go check the priest profession rankings; Gale’s priest profession has long been maxed out."

Players: ...

"A dual-trained powerhouse... impressive, impressive..."

"Is this the world of the strong?"

The voice of discussion was once again replaced by exclamations of admiration.

Ye Ye and Nai Nai listened to everyone’s discussion, growing more and more excited.

"Is the Priest vocation really that powerful? Once I transfer, I must also dual-class as a Priest! Max out both!"

The boy said longingly.

"Me too! Me too! I’ll also dual-class as a Priest in the future! Become a Holy Mage!"

The girl said excitedly.

Holy Mage is what players in the "Elf Kingdom" call a Mage who also takes on the Priest vocation.

Ye Ye couldn’t help but glance at her, imagining a Holy Mage swinging a magic wand wildly.

"Close-combat Holy Mage sounds doable."

He smacked his lips.

"Work hard, don’t think you’re invincible just because you’re maxed out at silver level. The techniques in the ’Elf Kingdom’ are profound."

Looking at the more than ten team members, All-Star Acan shook his head and said.

With that, he began directing everyone to continue moving the Obsidian.

"Can Ju, what about these guys? Should we give them a bit of a thrill? There are quite a few traps here."

Someone pointed to the thirty-odd comically posed players of the Azeroth Guild Alliance flying in mid-air and asked.

Upon hearing this, many people were instantly tempted.

All-Star Acan glanced at them and shook his head:

"No."

"Since Sister Gale said to let them float for half an hour, let them float at their own pace."

...

Without interference from the Holy Temple Knights, the All-Star players quickly loaded up the Obsidian.

Afterwards, they handed the storage ring to the leader at Gale, for him to temporarily bind.

This is the All-Star Guild’s communal ring; usually, when someone needs it, they bind it temporarily, and unbind it when done.

Then, the team led by Gale, along with Ye Ye and Nai Nai, took the Space Ring and several bound pieces of the highest quality Obsidian and suicided to return to the city.

Suicide respawn, it’s the fastest way to avoid trouble later.

The All-Star team remained, intending to delve deeper into exploring the Titan Tomb.

And that was something Ye Ye and the others couldn’t keep up with.

When Ye Ye and others respawned, All-Star members were already waiting for them at the respawn teleport point in the Chosen City.

Whether it was due to the wind or not, Ye Ye felt that the efficiency of All-Star seemed to have increased dramatically, almost appraising goods and giving contribution points on the spot.

After settlement, the total sale of all the Obsidian amounted to 14.4 million contribution points!

Finally, the two newbies got 5 million.

This was truly a huge sum.

Even though the value of contribution points had plummeted significantly from a year ago, the exchange rate in the game now was also 1:400, with one RMB for four hundred contribution points.

million contribution points, that’s over ten thousand RMB.

For two ordinary high school students, this was an enormous fortune they’d never seen in their lifetime...

After some discussion, they decided to use the money to buy a set of good equipment and then purchase a residential villa in Atlantis.

They had already planned with Gale and others that after transferring to Black Iron rank, they would join the All-Star Guild.

It wouldn’t take long.

Even though suiciding once dropped their levels by one (the newbies didn’t have enough resurrection tokens), they had accumulated a large amount of experience by defeating Black Light Puppets, enough to advance to Black Iron Middle Rank.

That’s what they thought, and it’s what they did.

With the experience gained from exploring the Titan Tomb, they immediately advanced to level 10 and then headed straight to the Life Temple for class transfer.

Ye Ye transferred to Warrior, while Nai Nai transferred to Mage and went on a straight upgrade spree, shooting directly up to level 23.

The flashing promotion lights left the other newbies beside them dumbfounded.

However, when the two bought a house in Atlantis, it caused them quite a bit of heartache...

"Four hundred thousand contribution points for a villa? That’s too expensive!"

Nai Nai exclaimed.

"Hey, that’s quite cheap. In Mountain Peak City, they start at eight hundred thousand, and the cheapest in Chosen City has long soared past a million."

Ye Ye laughed.

"Sigh, now that we’ve bought a house, we’ll have to start saving money again. I heard the cheapest Divine Artifact also starts at two hundred thousand contribution points..."

The girl sighed.

"Take it slow, our adventure has just begun."

Ye Ye said with a cheerful smile.
