Chapter 194: Surprising Discovery on the Forum
There is another reason why Xiao Jie chose "Collection of Ten Thousand Beasts" to complete the task. He has the talent of "Learning from Beasts".

That means that if you can catch special pets like fairy beasts or demon beasts, and these special pets have the ability to cast spells, then you can also learn spell-like abilities from the baby. That would be amazing.

If you can get a few spell-like abilities for free, it will be much better than the rewards of the other two tasks.

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

This letter was written to him by the village chief Huang Shidao.

[Hidden Moon and Wind Warrior:
Long time no see, how are you?
Have you ever transferred your house deed? Someone came here to look at the house a few days ago. Could it be that you have transferred the house deed to someone else? If you have any difficulties, please let me know. If you need any help, everyone in Ginkgo Village can help you. Don't be shy.

Signed by Huang Shidao, the village chief of Ginkgo Village]

Xiao Jie was a little surprised and even more moved. He felt warm in his heart for a moment. He didn't expect that this NPC still remembered him.

Back then, we helped the village resist the monsters, but it was all in vain.

Then came the third letter.

Hey, it turned out to be a letter from Granny Li and Li Baolai.

[How are you, little brother?

Baoer and I have returned to the Li family's old house. Now I am teaching him martial arts and letting him learn some martial arts knowledge. Baoer learns very quickly and has made considerable progress.

Baoer has a great talent for the art of controlling water, but unfortunately I don't know much about magic, so I can only let him learn it on his own.

When he finishes his studies, will he go out into the world? Perhaps we will meet again in the future, so take care of yourself, little brother.

Signed: "Flying Night Demon" Li Chunlan]

It seems that Granny Li has regained her former chivalrous spirit and even changed her name.

Xiao Jie was somewhat surprised to receive these two letters. Some of the NPCs he had met in the past would actually write letters to interact with him. This was a very interesting design.

Xiao Jie speculated that this subsequent letter-sending plot would only be triggered if the favorability was 100%.

If that’s the case, will the white ape also send me letters in the future?

It’s not impossible.

After thinking about it, Xiao Jie wrote a letter back to each of them, reporting his safety and keeping in touch with them. He felt that these two NPCs might have subsequent plots in the future.

Xiao Jie finished reading the letter, and the three newbies also received their own professional tasks.

The Weird Fox's profession is a gunman, and the mission he received is [Gunmanship Training]. He needs to find a local gunmanship coach to practice martial arts with. The reward is a basic gunmanship secret book.

Monsoon Hide's profession is an archer, and the mission he received is [Hunting Time]. The mission content is to complete 10 perfect hunts in a row, and the reward is a blue bow and arrow.

Mu Qingliu's profession is a knife thrower. The mission he received is to [Search for Secret Techniques]. He needs to find a mysterious beggar to learn special hidden weapon techniques. The mission rewards him with a hidden weapon combat skill.

I have to admit that the mission rewards given by this profession are not very good and there is really nothing special about them.

However, for the three of them who have no family background and no opportunities, this is a good opportunity to improve their strength.

Dongfang Sheng and the other two also kept the process of accepting tasks in mind. They would go back to complete the prerequisites for the profession, and then level up to the next level, so that they could directly accept the profession tasks.

Weird Fox: "Brother Feng, if you have nothing else to do, shall we go on the mission?"

"Go ahead, go ahead, do your own thing, and don't forget to learn how to ride."

Guimianhu and the other three went to learn horse riding happily.

Dongfang Sheng also said hello and went to find local guild players to help him improve his reputation, and he also took two friends with him.

Only Xiao Jie and Ye Luo were left.

The two were in no hurry to separate, and returned to the inn to continue chatting.

Among the many players Xiao Jie has come into contact with in this game, Ye Luo is barely the second most familiar one. The reason why he uses the word "barely" is because the two of them don't actually have much contact, but they have fought against red names together, killed bosses together, and participated in monster attacks on the village together. They can be said to be friends who have lived and died together, so their friendship is naturally different from that of ordinary people.

Even after so many days, there was still a sense of tacit understanding like old friends meeting again.

However, I am not as familiar with Ye Luo as I am with Yu Chengxian. The main reason is that Ye Luo always gives people a feeling of keeping people at a distance.

The two of them sat on both sides of the table, and for a moment they didn't know what to say.

After a long while, Ye Luo asked a question first: "Did Chengxian really go to learn magic?"

"Yes what's the matter?"

"Nothing, I'm just a little surprised. You know, it's very difficult to enter the Taoist Palace. Can't Chengxian really rely on that magic talisman to successfully become a disciple?"

"Haha, of course not. I just joined Xuanxu Palace as a handyman. But being a handyman is fine. As long as there is a platform for gaining reputation and completing tasks in games, there will always be a moment of success. The only thing to be afraid of is that there is no place to go."

"That's true. Don't you plan to pursue a career in law?"

"I'm already working on it." Xiao Jie said, but he didn't explain in detail. He asked, "What about you? What profession do you plan to take when you reach level 20? It seems like you have a plan for your career path."

"No part-time job, just advance directly." Ye Luo said calmly.

Xiao Jie thought to himself that it was indeed so. The Night Walker profession was very special. He had come into contact with many people during this period, but had never heard of anyone mentioning this profession. It was obviously a hidden profession.

Although it is not a pure legal system, it should not be too bad.

Plus, now that she can summon zombies, she's obviously mastered the basics of ghost curses, which is pretty amazing.

"I feel like you seem to be very familiar with the career system of this game. What is the next level of Night Walker? Do you know it already?"

"Impermanence Walker, but it is a bit troublesome to spawn this profession. You need to kill some undead bosses to accumulate merit."

"Merit?" This is another mechanism that I have never heard of.

"Yes, merit, this thing is a hidden attribute, everyone has it, but it is usually not displayed.

Malicious killing will reduce merit, while saving people or helping good NPCs in quests will increase merit. It is very uncertain to judge this, but one thing is certain, killing undead, especially undead bosses, will increase merit.

If you want to unlock the career advancement of Impermanence Walker at level 20, you must at least increase your merit to 3000 or more.

For small monsters, I can give them one or two points, but for a boss, it could be three to five hundred or even one thousand to eight hundred."

"Then doesn't it mean that we only need to kill three or five bosses?"

"Haha, it's not that easy. Undead bosses are rare and usually very powerful, just like the ghost general we killed back then - he was only half a boss."

Xiao Jie nodded after hearing this. It seems that this is indeed a bit difficult.

However, the more difficult the unlocking conditions are, the stronger the profession will probably be.

"Then let's level up and fight monsters together in the future? Maybe we can work together again when you fight the boss."

"Haha, that's what I've been asking for - Brother Feng." Xiao Jie felt inexplicably embarrassed when he was called Brother Feng.

This Ye Luo is really good at making fun of things. It's obviously a very common name and his tone is very calm, but when he calls it, it always feels like there is some mischievous and teasing meaning in it.

"Then it's settled. I'll talk to the guild's top leaders tonight about the guild's future development path. Maybe we can choose a map related to the undead, and then it will be easier for you to earn merit."

After Ye Luo left, Xiao Jie did not go out to level up again.

After returning to Luoyang Town, he met Ye Luo and Dongfang Sheng again. All this made him inexplicably feel as if he was back home, especially since the Tianxia Association had already collapsed and he had joined the strongest local Longxiang Knights. Now, Luoyang Town made him feel like it was his own territory.

Once people arrive at their own home, they will inevitably feel at ease.

Let's wait until the meeting is over in the evening and decide on the leveling map. Leveling up with the guild will be naturally easy and enjoyable.

Oh, that forum!
Now he really wanted to see what was on the forum.

Xiao Jie sent a private message to Jin Fugui and asked for the website address of the forum. As for the information about this game, any information that can be collected cannot be missed.

After exiting the game, Xiao Jie directly logged into this website.

It's really a very simple forum.

The simple login interface requires you to create an account and password and answer some game-related questions. This is obviously designed to prevent non-players from intruding. They are all related to the game content, and ordinary players will definitely not be able to answer them correctly.

After creating an account and logging into the forum, I found that there were only a few sections.

【Game experience】, 【Wonderful videos】, 【Experience sharing】, 【Game business】...

Xiao Jie first clicked on the game experience, glanced at it casually, and was immediately disappointed.
All the information that can be seen is the most low-level one, which is basically equivalent to the level of basic gaming knowledge. It seems that everyone has kept their gaming experience very secret.

Come to think of it, the information in this game can truly determine life and death. Take the experiences you have gained, for example. Even to your closest people, you cannot easily reveal them, let alone share them with others online.

This is pure brain drain.

Even a little trick like obtaining secret dog food must not be leaked. Once more people know the recipe, your money-making business will inevitably be affected, not to mention those adventures, which cannot even be mentioned.

After closing the game experience section, Xiao Jie opened the experience exchange section, which was a place for exchanging information.

Players were required to add each other as friends and contact each other privately, but Xiao Jie turned it off again.

Then he clicked on the wonderful video section.

There is not much content in this section either. Videos can leak information, and most people probably won’t post their own videos to the forum. It’s likely that most people post other people’s videos.

Xiao Jie saw his own video at a glance.

[Shocking: A level 15 trumpet kills Tianxiahui president Xiongba alone.] This video ranks third in popularity, with more than 300 views.

The viewing record of more than 300 times on other websites is pitifully small, but here, it is already a popular video. There is no way, there are only a few players of this game, and even fewer people logging into the forum.

The first video is [The whole story of how the Qinglong Society slays the dragon. ]

The second-ranked video is [Look, I met a fairy! ]

Hey, immortal! This is quite interesting.

Xiao Jie clicked it.

The video is very short, and the general content is that a player was leveling up and fighting monsters when he suddenly saw something flying in the sky, so he filmed a video towards the sky. In the video, one can vaguely see a fairy-like person flying in the sky with a sword.

Since the distance is too far, even with a very high resolution, it is hard to see clearly. Many of the comments below even suspect that it was generated by AI or photoshopped.

Xiao Jie was a little disappointed. How could this be considered as meeting an immortal? That was what he had encountered before.

Then he clicked on [The whole story of how the Qinglong Society slayed the dragon].

He had heard Ramen Brother mention this incident vaguely before. It seemed that the Qinglong Society failed in slaying the dragon, and many people died.

The video begins with a bird's-eye view of the sky.

There was no one filming the scene, it just looked like a camera appearing out of thin air.

Xiao Jie guessed that it should be a magic skill similar to Eagle Eye, which can see the distant perspective.

Ten seconds later, Xiao Jie saw a huge group of hundreds of people appear in his sight, clearing a path in the swamp.

The photographer did not add any commentary, but just quietly recorded what happened.

Xiao Jie speculated that the person who filmed the video was most likely a high-level magician, and might have a feud with the Qinglong Society, or at least was monitoring the whereabouts of the Qinglong Society.

I just don’t know what the person’s purpose was in posting the video on the forum.

Soon the video advanced to the scene where the poisonous dragon from the evil swamp appeared.

Is this a dragon? It doesn't look that strong - Hey, it's a poisonous dragon, so it can't be a dragon, right?
The camera angle would occasionally move, and one could see the names and levels above some players' heads. Xiao Jie looked at the levels and occupations of those players, silently estimating the strength of the Qinglong Society.

Most members of the Qinglong Society are only in their twenties, and the vast majority of them are physical professionals.

But there are also a group of top masters, a level 38 sword master, a level 37 divine general, a level 36 fairy magician, a level 36 sorcerer...wait a minute!
Xiao Jie suddenly caught sight of a familiar name in the crowd.

Strong Dragon Turns Over (Five Elements Escape Master) Level 31.

A strong dragon makes a comeback?

Isn't this Liu Qiang's game name? When Liu Qiang was still in Wuji Studio, he particularly liked to use this name.

He stared at the appearance of the character on the screen. The appearance and body shape of the characters in this game were very similar to those of the players. Although the equipment blocked his view and the distance was too far and the resolution was not clear enough to see the specific appearance, Xiao Jie still had a feeling that this person was Liu Qiang!
Xiao Jie clenched his fists suddenly, Liu Qiang, so you are from the Qinglong Society!

I didn’t expect that it’s already level 31. No, it was level 31 at the beginning, and it will only be stronger now.

Five Elements Escape Technique Master? What kind of job is this? Five Elements Escape Technique—Naruto?
Xiao Jie calculated silently that with his current strength, he might not be able to defeat the opponent.

This guy is a magician, or at least a half-magician, and he's from a big guild. If we really fight he has no chance of winning.

Maybe he could take a gamble relying on the disillusionment - no, he could never gamble on such things, he had to be absolutely sure, otherwise not only would he not be able to take revenge, he might even get himself into trouble.

The battle in the video was still going on. Just as the poisonous dragon was about to be killed, the screen suddenly went dark. Thunder, wind, and rain sounded together. As Mo Lin fell from the sky, Xiao Jie was shocked.

Holy shit, the dragons in this game are so awesome?
Looking at the black dragon Mo Lin's aura of calling the wind and rain, Xiao Jie sighed, this is much cooler than the dragon in World of Warcraft.

That kind of mysterious aura of holding the power of heaven and earth is full of style.

A complex emotion arose in Xiao Jie's heart. He somewhat hoped that the Black Dragon could kill Liu Qiang directly, but at the same time he felt unwilling because if that happened, he would not be able to take revenge personally.

Xiao Jie sighed only after watching the members of the Qinglong Society disappear in the white light of teleportation.

Forget it, it’s more satisfying to take revenge on your own.

He was a little worried. Since he could see Liu Qiang's name in this forum, would Liu Qiang also see his video and discover himself?
You know, the name you use is one you have used before.

It is true that people are afraid of becoming famous just like pigs are afraid of getting fat.

But fortunately, I am now an organized person. If Liu Qiang wants to rely on the power of the guild to attack me, it will inevitably trigger a counterattack from the Dragon Knights. It seems that my decision to join the guild was really the right one.

The strength of the Soaring Dragon Knights is not weaker than that of the Azure Dragon Society. In fact, they suffered heavy losses due to the Azure Dragon Society's failure to slay the dragon. Now the Soaring Dragon Knights are still far larger than the other side.

No need to be afraid of him.

Xiao Jie wrote down the two names, Qinglonghui and Qianglongfanshen, in his notebook.

While entering the large group of the Dragon Knights.

Yin Yue Sui Feng: @龙行天下. President, I want to see the information of Qing Long Society.

He spent the entire afternoon studying the Qinglong Society.

As one of the largest guilds in "Old Land", the Dragon Knights have done a very good job of gathering intelligence on other large guilds.

The more I look at Xiao Jie, the more I can deduce the context of the whole matter.

The time when the Qinglong Society failed to slay the dragon was exactly one week before Liu Qiang gave Han Luo the game activation code.

It is obvious that when Liu Qiang said he was recruiting people, he was not just talking casually, he was really recruiting people to play games.

There are a group of very strong core members in the Qinglong Guild, but the strength of ordinary members varies. Moreover, unlike other guilds that were formed online, this guild is suspected to be formed in reality...

After summarizing various information, Xiao Jie had a vague idea of ​​what was going on.

Liu Qiang, Liu Qiang, it seems that you have found a powerful backer.
