A whirlwind of activity, Lufeng returned to the Luoyang Training Ground. Players with a location set would naturally choose a spot at the Training Ground, and Lufeng was no exception.
The Training Ground is a place where players can freely engage in PvP. After losing, nothing is dropped, but a small amount of health and mana will not automatically regenerate. At this time, the martial arts instructor next to the Training Ground—Long Batian—plays a crucial role.
At this moment, the Training Ground was bustling with players who had lost too much health in the wild or in dungeons and had no potions left. As soon as players received treatment, they would leave the Training Ground.
Long Batian, like the Ranger Healers, could help players heal. The only advantage was that Long Batian only charged for materials and did not take any service fees, making it very affordable and popular among players. The Ranger Healers near the city walls were known as "blood doctors," and if it weren't for an emergency, Lufeng would definitely avoid healing there.
Therefore, Lufeng had long since set his position near Long Batian. Whenever he was close to dying in the wild or in a dungeon, he would teleport out to heal and then return to continue fighting. Except for the Swallow's Nest Dungeon, he could do this in any dungeon. Lufeng had personally experienced this while playing Heavenly Dragon; now that Asking Heaven was so frustrating with terrible equipment, it was just right to make use of every dungeon without easily giving up on any of them.
After returning next to Long Batian, Lufeng wasted no time and spent a few dozen copper coins to restore his health to full. If he had gone to a Ranger Healer for treatment, it would have cost several silver coins, highlighting Long Batian's importance.
After healing, Qiu Han and others also headed to Xuanwu Island. Lufeng did not linger at the Training Ground and went directly to the Luoyang Rare Beast Shop.
Before long, Lufeng found the Insect Bird Workshop Master—Yun Miaomiao—and spent 1 gold and 80 silver coins to teach Sunglasses Cat Raging Inferno. Sunglasses Cat underwent a transformation and became a seven-skill baby.
The first manual skill only required a related service fee based on the baby’s level, which Lufeng was well aware of. However, when it came time to learn a second different type of manual skill, it required a high price of 99 gold coins. Raging Inferno is a Breaking Army Type skill; once he learned another Breaking Army Type skill, it would replace Raging Inferno. Naturally, Lufeng would not let this opportunity slip by and firmly remembered the other skills that needed replacing so that when he next obtained a Skill Book, he could elevate Sunglasses Cat further.
Seeing his first Sunglasses Cat grow made Lufeng somewhat excited; he always hoped to cultivate Sunglasses Cat into the perfect baby.
With a thought, Lufeng summoned Sunglasses Cat into battle. Indeed, the skill bar displayed Raging Inferno, with a cooldown time of 120 seconds. Every two minutes, he could control the skill through thought and have Sunglasses Cat unleash it.
Currently, having the first level 10 seven-skill baby among many others was undoubtedly unique; its value was immeasurable. Previously, without mastering Blood Poisoning Spell and learning Raging Inferno en masse, its value was already several tens of thousands; now it was definitely worth fifty thousand. The prices in the virtual world continued to rise; players could earn gold through various means. Fortunately, identity verification was bound; otherwise, many would create alternate accounts for profit, which would surely lead to Asking Heaven's downfall. However, without being able to create alternate accounts, the money each person earned simply wasn't enough for one player's growth expenses. The gold obtained from treasure hunting or selling maps was merely a drop in the bucket when upgrading skills or cultivating techniques. If one couldn't dig up Skill Books like Qiu Han did, they would inevitably lose more than they gained; this is simply the price of entertainment.
Lufeng understands that there is no such thing as the most professional, only more professional. Only by staying ahead of others can one earn more. To excel in a field, one must have a comprehensive understanding; this allows for a quicker comeback, earning more coins and gaining greater commissions.
Seeing the growth of Sunglasses Cat, Lufeng smiled at Critical Hit. He believes that through his own efforts, he can change himself from an ordinary player to a top-tier player, and even surpass Aunt Wang and Badao is not out of the question.
Now at level 35, he feels incredibly lucky on this journey. With Lufeng's relentless efforts, accompanied by ups and downs, he has finally carved out his own path. The Vital Energy Control Technique has reached Gathering Qi, and with just one round of Life-and-Death Chess Game, he can complete the proficiency of Gathering Qi. At that point, he will be able to unleash skills after level 40 with no cooldown time and double attack power; just thinking about it excites him.
With these thoughts in mind, Lufeng feels even more confident in himself and the members of Fifth Squad. Although there are two deadweights, Gao Chao and Xiaoxiao, he believes he can gradually change them, change himself, give himself direction, and provide everyone with a bright goal and hope for struggle.
Subsequently, Lufeng went to Xuanwu Island through Yun Han'er at the Rare Beast Shop, not lingering by the refreshing seaside of Xuanwu Island. He knows that complacency can lead to downfall; overindulgence can ruin oneself. Lufeng does not want to become too comfortable and stumble on the path of growth.
Suddenly, Gao Chao shouted in the team channel: “The divine beast is here! Quickly go invisible! In the past, we would have easily dealt with it like cutting through silk. Now, we have nothing. Damn it, it's like a dragon swimming in shallow waters being played with by shrimp; a tiger falling into the plains being bullied by dogs.”
“Still a dragon? I think it's more like a turtle. Xiaoxiao, quickly go invisible!”
“Ah~” A chorus of panic ensued.
……
In Asking Heaven, team channels allow for direct chatting. As long as people like Wang Xiaojing chat in the team channel, Lufeng can hear them. Upon learning that a divine beast is attacking, Lufeng quickened his pace. Without riding his 10% speed Chocobo, he rushed toward where the crocodile was located.
The Guardian Beast patrols the security of Xuanwu Island. There is no set schedule; aside from level 5 areas where Rare Beasts are present, other places will have them appear unpredictably. Their attack and defense capabilities are beyond what ordinary players can handle. Even with his personal strength, facing a level 20 divine beast would be challenging for Lufeng.
The Guardian Beasts come in levels 20, 40, 60, and 80, patrolling different areas of Xuanwu Island. They are absolute killers for ordinary players. Regular players and novices without gem equipment can only run away; if they are less skilled, they may perish in just a few hits. Therefore, when encountering a divine beast, invisibility is the only option. Except for Tianshan, other professions have limited invisibility duration; if one does not navigate around the divine beast carefully, they will inevitably meet their demise. Without any Killing Intent, death results in losing 3% of coins but cannot be picked up by other players. If there is any Killing Intent, even more will be lost. Thus, players who kill others in the wild cannot roam freely; once they leave town, they become public enemies.
From Gao Chao's words, Lufeng felt somewhat reassured; at least Gao Chao wouldn't be foolish enough to throw himself against a stone with an egg. Lufeng could only pray in his heart: please, let it not be a level 40 or above divine beast.
Considering their current strength, if Gao Chao and the others encountered a level 20 Guardian Beast, they might barely manage to defeat it with their team's power. However, they would definitely not be able to handle a level 40 beast.
Soon, Lufeng reached the outer area where the crocodiles were active and happened to encounter a patrolling divine beast. Lufeng was momentarily stunned; seeing the divine beast approaching him, he quickly put away his baby and then went into stealth, as if donning a Shadow Cloak, making him completely invisible to outsiders.
Looking at the level 40 Guardian Beast, Lufeng suddenly realized that the crocodile was a level 35 Rare Beast, which meant this area was definitely patrolled by level 40 divine beasts. His heart tightened with fear that Wang Xiaojing and the others might be killed instantly. Since he couldn't check the coordinates of others while in stealth—otherwise, his invisibility would immediately fail—he could only silently pray for them.
Once Lufeng went into stealth, the divine beast couldn't see him. It lingered around Lufeng's original spot for a while but still didn't find anyone. It wasn't until two minutes before Lufeng's invisibility would wear off that it finally left.
Lufeng took a deep breath, feeling lingering fear. If his stealth had expired at that moment, he would have been killed instantly. Fortunately, there were no other people nearby; otherwise, he would have met his end there.
