Everyone Plays Online Games: Starting The Game With Counter Damage - Chapter 38

Chapter 38 Why Did You Have to Choose to Be a Blacksmith?!

Heaven Punisher had heard from Kill All that Wandering wanted to choose a livelihood occupation to pass the time and recover his energy.

He wanted to ask Wu Yan what livelihood occupation he had chosen, but he held back.

Heaven Punisher explained professionally, “The livelihood occupation you choose should usually be related to your current class.”

He popped out his personal interface and pulled out his post from the game forum.

This introduction post was illustrated with pictures and text, explaining how to match each class with a livelihood occupation.

In principle, one should choose a mentor with a livelihood occupation that was related to one’s class, so that the favorability would rise faster, which would make it easier to receive the subsequent class quests.

From the looks of it, the favorability was mainly to trigger subsequent quests, making it quite important.

After Wu Yan finished reading the post, he nodded thoughtfully and continued to ask, “Can I choose a few livelihood occupations?”

“No!” Heaven Punisher rejected the notion immediately, “At least, for now, no players can have two livelihood occupations at the same time.”

He didn’t make it sound absolute though, “But it may be a possibility after you finish your current apprenticeship.”

Nobody had ever tried to take on another livelihood occupation after they finished their current apprenticeship.

Every time the game was updated, more and more of the unknown would become clear.

The game officials were now constantly promoting the various classes in advance of the upcoming release of the class advancement quests.

The most popular class was the class advancement to the “Light/Dark Swordsman” class from the Warrior class. The skill that was shown in this class’s promotion was extremely cool, bringing the class to first place on the rankings of the most wanted class advancement.

Wu Yan was obviously unwilling to give up, “Then, can I change my livelihood occupation?”

Heaven Punisher looked at Wu Yan with a weird expression, “You’ve already chosen a livelihood occupation.”

Wu Yan looked around and confirmed that Kill All was not nearby. He was now afraid of exchanging information with Kill All.

He nodded, “I choose to be a Blacksmith.”

“Ah!” Heaven Punisher cried out in surprise and quickly pulled Wu Yan to a hidden corner.

He had never doubted Wu Yan’s talent, but some of the latter’s choices in the game did make him worried. Wu Yan’s style of doing things was a little different from other players.

“Then you should hurry up and go to your Skill Learning Magister to see if you can trigger the subsequent class quest.” This would affect whether he could obtain his skills early.

Heaven Punisher was worried that Wu Yan’s livelihood occupation would affect his favorability with the Skill Learning Magister.

Wu Yan’s mood was quite calm. He was just asking casually and wasn’t really thinking about changing his livelihood occupation.

From the looks of it now, there was nothing bad about being a Blacksmith apprentice anyway.

Almost no other player could be like him. By now, he could already improve his attributes through his livelihood occupation.

Heaven Punisher looked at Wu Yan who had left and was at a loss. Had his performance been too exaggerated?

Could it be that he had unconsciously thought of Wandering as an ordinary person? These few times that Wandering had succeeded and his astonishing explosive power were all the results of the other party’s methods.

Wu Yan did not care about Heaven Punisher’s wild thoughts.

After a few days of interaction, he realized that Heaven Punisher’s thoughts were much more complicated than he had expected.

If not for Heaven Punisher’s honest face, he wouldn’t have wanted to interact with such a person.

Wu Yan bid farewell to Heaven Punisher. When he walked out of the guild, a bunch of players could not help but point at him and discuss.

They were all expert players in the Legendary Guild, so why did they still like to gossip so much?

Wu Yan passed through the teleportation gates and made a few transfers before arriving at the Skill Learning Magister’s place.

Looking at the boxes at the bottom that had been tampered with, he found it quite strange.

Wu Yan took a look and estimated that he had to use Bounce to its fullest before barely managing to jump across the boxes.

Was it because he had used Bounce here before, so the Skill Learning Magister had tampered with the boxes again?

After activating Bounce, his body was indeed much lighter.

When he jumped onto the platform on the second floor, he bumped into the Skill Learning Magister.

“Wandering! Why did you come up from this spot again?” The Skill Learning Magister was filled with regret.

If he had known earlier, he would have removed all the boxes away.

He had secretly modified the entrance to his place to detect more of the players’ attributes.

This was not in accordance with the rules of the game, but as long as an NPC did not overstep the rules too much, the game officials would not interfere.

Therefore, he invested a lot in Wu Yan.

Unexpectedly, the other party still did not come in through the test door. This made the pale-faced Skill Learning Magister feel a little depressed.

He walked to the side of the second floor again to confirm that the boxes had indeed been adjusted by him.

He could not take the initiative to ask the players about things that had nothing to do with the storyline of the quest, so he could only wait for Wu Yan to speak first.

Wu Yan could feel that the Magister valued talent, but there was nothing he could do. He simply asked sincerely, “Magister, will I have the chance to learn other skills?”

The moment the word “skill” was mentioned, the Skill Learning Magister’s entire body froze.

The defensive skill that he had previously drawn for Wu Yan was a pain in his heart…

Such a talented Mage was probably dreaming of being able to cast a powerful skill like Meteor Shower in his dreams.

However, it wasn’t as if he wouldn’t have the opportunity to learn other skills. This time, he did not plan to randomly draw another skill.

He had to successfully promote the skill, Exploding Star. It was a powerful Mage skill.

The Skill Learning Magister’s pale face revealed a rare smile. Perhaps it was due to the distress he had been under for the past few days, but the Magister’s originally thin figure was not like a telephone pole. Wu Yan even suspected that the body under the wide mage robe was just skin and bones.

The Magister suddenly thought of a method. An ugly smile appeared on his pale face as he said, “There is a way. You can become my apprentice.”

After saying that, he scratched his face with skeleton-like fingers, saying bashfully, “However, I lost my teaching certificate, so I’ll need to sit for a reassessment. Back then, my ability to make scrolls was famous in this city. At that time, everyone knew my name, Lyorick!”

So the Magister’s name was Lyorick, a name fitting of a fantasy world.

Well, the world culture of this game was quite amazing.

Seeing that Wu Yan was still listening attentively, Lyorick couldn’t help but be even more satisfied with him.

Lyorick might look like he was only in his thirties, but in reality, he was almost sixty years old.

Mages in this world had a longer life expectancy than Warriors. It might have something to do with their positioning during battle.

Lyorick continued to ask, “What do you think? Would you become my apprentice?”

He had already made up his mind to take the exam for the teaching certificate that he had lost.

It was not a small decision for him to get involved with these young people again.

Wu Yan’s expression was a little awkward. He said embarrassedly, “Magister, I have already chosen to be a Blacksmith for my livelihood occupation.”

Lyorick’s face turned from white to green, then red. He trembled as he spoke, pointing at Wu Yan and stuttering, “You, you, you!”

Then he looked haggard, helpless, and a little resentful as he said, “Why did you have to choose to be a Blacksmith?!”
