Chapter 248: Chapter 78: Astonishing Discovery on the Forum

Xiao Jie chose "Ten Thousand Beasts Gathering" to complete his mission for another reason: he had the talent [learning from beasts].

That also meant if he could capture special pets such as Immortal Beasts or demon beasts, and if these special pets had magic abilities, then he could also learn Class Magic abilities from them. If that were the case, it would be amazing.

If he could freeload a few Class Magic abilities, it would be much better than the rewards from the other two missions.

After selecting the mission, Xiao Jie then opened the second letter.

This letter was from the village chief Master Huang.

[Hidden Moon Following Wind, warrior:

Long time no see, are you well?

Have you transferred the house deed? A few days ago, someone came here to look at the house, could it be that you sold the deed to someone else? If you have encountered any trouble, please let me know. If you need help, we in Ginkgo Village can also offer you some assistance. Do not be a stranger.

Signed — Ginkgo Village Chief Master Huang]

Xiao Jie felt a little surprised and somewhat touched; he didn’t expect the NPC to still remember him. He felt a warmth in his heart.

Initially, he’d helped the village defend against monster attacks almost for free.

Then, he opened the third letter.

Huh, it was actually a letter from Granny Li and Li Baolai.

[Dear young brother,

Bao’er and I have returned to the old Li family mansion. Currently, I am teaching him Martial Arts and introducing him to the knowledge of the worldly society. Bao’er is a quick learner and has already made considerable progress.

Bao’er has an exceptional talent for the Water Manipulation Technique; it’s a shame that I am not well-versed in magic and can only let him self-study and comprehend it.

When he has finished his studies, will he venture into the worldly society? Perhaps there might be an opportunity to meet you again in the future. Take good care of yourself, young brother.

Signed — ’Flying Yaksa’ Li Chunlan]

It seemed Granny Li had found her heroic spirit again, even changing her name.

Receiving these two letters made Xiao Jie quite surprised. NPCs from the past unexpectedly writing and interacting in this manner was a rather interesting design.

Xiao Jie guessed, it was likely due to having 100% favorability that triggered this kind of follow-up letter scenario.

In that case, would the White Ape also send him a letter in the future?

It wasn’t impossible.

After some thought, Xiao Jie wrote back to both of them to report his safety and casually maintain the relationship, feeling that these two NPCs might have follow-up scenarios in the future.

Having finished reading the letters, on the other side, the three newbies each received their Profession missions.

Deceitful Fox had the Profession of gunman. His mission was [Gun Skill Training], to find the local Spear Skill Instructor and practice Martial Arts. The reward was a Basic Gun Technique Secret Manual.

Jifeng Zhiyin had the Profession of archer. His mission was [Hunting Moment], to complete 10 perfect hunts in a row. The reward was a blue bow and arrow.

Mu Qingliu had the Profession of Flying Knife Master. His mission was [Secret Skill Tracking], to learn a special Hidden Weapon technique from a mysterious beggar. The reward was a Hidden Weapon Combat Skill.

It must be said, the mission rewards for these not-so-impressive professions really were nothing to brag about.

However, for these three newbies without much background or opportunities, this was also a decent chance to improve their strength.

Dongfang Sheng and the others memorized the process of accepting missions earnestly, planning to meet the prerequisites of their Professions, level up, and then directly come to do the Profession missions.

Deceitful Fox: "Feng, if you’re not busy, shall we go do our missions?"

"Go on, go on, you guys go ahead and be busy. Don’t forget to learn the Riding Skill."

Deceitful Fox and the other two went off excitedly to learn the Riding Skill.

Dongfang Sheng also said goodbye and went to farm reputation with some local guild players, taking the two companions with him.

Only Xiao Jie and Ye Luo were left.

However, they weren’t in a rush to separate and returned to the inn to continue their chat.

Among the many players Xiao Jie had met in this game, Ye Luo was barely the second he was most familiar with. The reason "barely" was used was because they hadn’t had much contact, but having fought red names together, defeating a BOSS together, and participating in defending against a monster attack, they were friends who had been through life and death together. Naturally, the camaraderie was different from ordinary folks.

Even after so many days had passed, there was still a sense of a reunion of old friends.

Yet, he wasn’t as familiar with Ye Luo as he was with I Want to Be Immortal, mainly because Ye Luo always seemed to have an air of keeping people at a distance.

Sitting opposite each other at the table, they suddenly didn’t know what to say.

After a while, it was Ye Luo who first asked a question, "Did Cheng Xian really go to learn magic?"

"Yeah, what about it?"

"Nothing much, just a bit surprised. You know that it’s tough to get into Dao Palace. Cheng Xian didn’t really just rely on some Demon Talisman to successfully get accepted as a disciple, did he?"

"Haha, of course not. He just became a servant at the Xuanxu Palace. But even being a servant is okay, right? In a game, as long as you have a platform for farming reputation and doing missions, there will always come a moment for success. What you fear is having nowhere to turn to."

"That’s true. Don’t you plan on getting a Magic Profession yourself?"

"I’m already working on that." Xiao Jie said but didn’t elaborate further, instead asking, "What about you? What Profession do you plan to add at Level 20? It seems like you have quite a plan for your own career path."

"No side profession, just advancing." Ye Luo said calmly.

Xiao Jie thought to himself, that figured. The Nightwalker Profession was very special. He had come into contact with many people during this time and had never heard anyone mention this Profession, which was obviously a Hidden Profession.

While it wasn’t purely Magic System, it surely wasn’t far off.
