Chapter 259: Chapter 82: It’s Wasted Youth if You Are Not Rebellious at Some Point_4

Look back to see if you can get some equipment or elixirs that increase Constitution.

Just as he was pondering this, Dongfang Sheng approached.

"Feng, my reputation surged to Respect."

"Congratulations."

"Haha, I also need to thank you."

Xiao Jie laughed and said, "Thank me for what? I didn’t help you with your reputation grind."

"Don’t hide it from me. I’ve asked around the core members, and the plan to attack the village was your idea, right? You were definitely thinking of giving me a hand, weren’t you? Feng, you really are a true friend."

"Hehe, don’t overthink it, I just happened to mention it off the cuff."

Xiao Jie wasn’t being modest with his words.

Indeed, he did have that slight idea in mind. Everyone had their own agenda during the meetings, and he was no exception. His plan to first recapture the villages and then conquer the mines did come with some personal considerations.

Taking back the villages could boost his reputation, which would conveniently help Dongfang Sheng fulfill the prerequisite for grinding reputation.

And the Corpse King BOSS in the mines could assist Ye Luo in unlocking her next-stage profession requirements. Undead BOSSes weren’t plentiful in this game, and the Corpse King was currently the easiest one to encounter. With an entire guild helping to fight, such an opportunity should not be missed.

Besides, he himself needed to experience the game’s mine and ancient tomb maps. At level 19, he was planning to unlock the Qi Refiner heritage and would have to enter Ancient Ruins, which would undoubtedly be fraught with danger.

To practice in the mines now and accumulate some experience in dungeon delving was like killing three birds with one stone.

Of course, he definitely wouldn’t reveal any of this. At least on the surface, all these actions seemed to have nothing to do with any special interest of his. It was entirely a plan he proposed for the development of the Dragon Soaring Knights’ Luoyang Branch.

Dongfang Sheng didn’t say anything further; to do so would seem too deliberate.

"By the way, Feng, I’m thinking of applying to become a core guild member, what do you think?"

Dongfang Sheng had also realized that becoming a core member would offer better prospects. Core members were the true insiders, while outer circle members were at most temporary workers.

As for obeying orders and following commands—that was fine, as generally it wouldn’t be too dangerous. In case it ever came to a life-or-death situation, couldn’t he just run? If things really came down to it, the worst-case scenario would be getting kicked out of the guild.

But he was anxious to join, fearing that Feng might be unhappy, thinking he was abandoning the boss for a bigger leg to hug.

Hence this question.

Xiao Jie, unaware of Dongfang Sheng’s complicated inner turmoil, was a bit baffled and wondered why he was being asked.

After thinking it over since he was, after all, being consulted, it wouldn’t be polite to say nothing.

So he earnestly replied, "I think you should just do what you feel is right."

Dongfang Sheng fell into deep thought upon hearing this—what did Feng mean by that? Could there be a deeper implication?

"Why aren’t you out looting, little brother Sui Feng?" Dida La suddenly joined the conversation.

"I’ve already gotten the good stuff; there’s no need to compete with ordinary members for those trinkles."

"Haha, Feng, you’re quite the character, not like that Salted Fish. Tsk tsk, really making us veteran players lose face."

Xiao Jie looked up and saw Salted Fish didn’t care about any of that, leading a few people straight into the largest mansion, grabbing everything. He even stuffed the water jars outside the house into his backpack.

Xiao Jie was somewhat speechless; this Salted Fish was really indescribable...

"Has he always been like this?"

"Exactly, I guess he feels his account is a lost cause, no more ambitions, just laying flat and probably will quit the game any day now."

Quitting the game as one of the three physical basic professions feels like a huge loss. Getting to level 30-plus means he has weathered many storms; ending up with just a good constitution doesn’t seem like much of a gain.

"I don’t think he’ll quit without a fight, but let’s not talk about him. Haven’t you been slacking off too? Aside from casting a big fireball at the start, you didn’t lift a finger afterwards, just spectating the whole time. If you had thrown a couple of fireballs while fighting the boss, you wouldn’t have let a newbie become the loot tyrant."

Dida La protested incessantly, "I didn’t mean to slack off; I had no choice. My main focus is Fire Magic, and my minor is Wood Element. Fire Magic can easily hurt teammates, and Wood Skills have no real offensive power, so I could only watch."

Xiao Jie thought to himself that this was indeed plausible; not just for spells, even when shooting an arrow, one needs to be careful—this game has no friendly fire immunity.

"By the way, do you know about Five Elements Escape Masters? Is there any difference between them and Five Elements Mages?" He had already decided to deal with Liu Qiang in the future and naturally wanted to understand his opponent’s profession abilities first.

However, Five Elements Escape Master seemed quite obscure; even Ye Luo didn’t know about it. Now that he saw Dida La, a Five Elements Mage, Xiao Jie intuitively felt there must be some connection between the two.

Dida La curiously asked, "Why are you asking about this?"

"Nothing much, just curious. If it’s inconvenient for you, never mind."

Dida La proudly said, "Then you’ve asked the right person. It’s not that it’s inconvenient, but average people might not know about the profession Five Elements Escape Master. I’ve talked about it with my master, so I know some things. A Five Elements Escape Master is a Half Mage, while a Five Elements Mage is a Full Mage. You might not get this."

A Half Mage is a limited Spellcaster, while a Full Mage is a complete Spellcaster.

For example, a Sword Master is a Half Mage, a mixture of Swordsman and Taoist, knowing some spells but not many.

And a Thunder Master is a Full Mage, evolving from Taoist to Thunder Mage to Thunder Master, with a clear lineage.

Full Mages rely solely on spells for their power, so their melee abilities are usually weaker, but they have a very high magic ceiling. At higher levels, they can cast extremely exaggerated spells, like a lightning bolt that could flatten a mountain.

As for Half Mages, their ceiling is limited; they’re like wildcards who’ve turned to spellcasting midway through their careers.

A Five Elements Escape Master is a Half Mage, seemingly a profession that combines something like Flying Thief and assassin before undergoing the Second Transformation—mixed martial arts with flashy moves, breathing fire, creating avatars, just like Fire Shadow Ninja.

Compared to us Five Elements Mages, who wield the mighty forces of nature and understand the true essence of the five elements, there’s no competition.

However, they do have an advantage over normal Physical Professions."

So there is actually a connection to Fire Shadow Ninja... Xiao Jie silently noted Dida La’s words and then found it somewhat amusing.

"Speaking of which, if you look down on Five Elements Escape Masters so much, why did you choose such a name?"

Dida La was an easy-going person, taking Xiao Jie’s question lightheartedly and chuckled, "Haha, if you’re not being a little rebellious, you’re wasting your youth, right?"
