Sebastian didn't rush to choose a profession; instead, he began by examining his attribute panel.
【Player: Sebastian】【Innate Talent: Life-Altering Destiny】
【Sect: None】
【Profession: None】
【Reputation: 0】
【Cultivation: 0】
【Realm: Mortal】
【Innate Physique: 100】
【Innate Grace: 100】
【Innate Insight: 100】
【Innate Charm: Extraordinary Grace】
【Innate Luck: Great Fortune】
Innate Physique the career limits of body cultivation and vital energy cultivation, while grace determines the limits of Spell Cultivation and Medical Cultivation.
Insight is crucial for learning rare and powerful skills. Many powerful skills have insight requirements, and high insight makes it easier to comprehend various aptitudes.
Charm and luck are also essential. Charm can influence NPCs' favorability towards you. Players with high charm can easily get tasks and might even have the fortune of experiencing dual cultivation with opposite-sex NPCs.
Luck goes without saying.
After reviewing his attribute panel, Sebastian felt full of enthusiasm.
With this starting point, who could be his match?
He took a deep breath and suppressed the excitement within him. Sebastian began to think seriously about his career path.
Sebastian's attributes were all at their maximum values, so he had no need to worry. He could choose any profession with confidence.
In his previous life, Sebastian was a law cultivator player, proficient in law cultivation techniques and skills, which he had mastered. By all rights, continuing with law cultivation was the most suitable and easiest path for him. After all, it was his old path, and he could walk it without any pressure.
Sebastian could confidently say that if he continued with law cultivation, there was no one who could compete with him in the law cultivator profession. He could easily become the world's top law cultivator!
But because of his proficiency in law cultivation, Sebastian was also more aware of its drawbacks. Law cultivators, while having extremely high late-game damage, area of effect skills, and being invulnerable in group battles, were at a significant disadvantage in player versus player combat. Once someone got close to them, they were powerless, and a single mistake could lead to disaster.
Moreover, the most crucial point was that Sebastian didn't like law cultivation in the first place. He had only chosen law cultivation initially because Selena Venom said she liked law cultivators, so he followed that path.
In fact, he had always aspired to be an instrument cultivator. He admired the freedom and grace of instrument cultivator players. For example, sword cultivators could control the air with their swords, reach the heights of the sky, and be the masters of a hundred blades, enjoying the freedom of the world.
Blade cultivators could wield divine blades, follow their opponents with their momentum, fear nothing, and be invincible. Spear cultivators could exhibit frigid brilliance, their spears moving like dragons, with power and dominance that was unmatched.
And so on.
Unlike Spell Cultivation, who always hid on the side and used skills from a distance, instrument cultivators in "Wild Valley World" were recognized as the most popular and numerous players. They were also the most challenging profession to play, requiring more skill and offering the greatest challenge.
After weighing the pros and cons carefully, Sebastian ultimately made the resolute decision to abandon the path of Spell Cultivation for swordsmanship. He didn't want to hesitate any longer. He reached out and tapped the map, selecting the "Admiring Immortals State."
In the instrument cultivator profession, he chose the most popular sub-profession: sword cultivator!
Sword cultivators had the highest single-target damage, making them the most suitable for one-on-one combat and soloing bosses. Sebastian aimed to become the world's number one, which meant he would inevitably face numerous challenges in the future, including open confrontations, covert attacks, assassinations, and more.
Spell Cultivators were often afraid of these underhanded tactics, but sword cultivators were unafraid. Another point to consider was that Sebastian had chosen Admiring Immortals State when he first played the game because he had no knowledge of the hidden opportunities in the four provinces. So, as a Spell Cultivator, he settled in Admiring Immortals State,.
He was already familiar with everything about Admiring Immortals State, and this familiarity was another reason he gave up Spell Cultivation in favor of swordsmanship.
Upon touching Admiring Immortals State, Sebastian turned into a streak of light and disappeared into the Celestial Palace.
The next moment, he arrived in a picturesque village. Dressed in coarse linen clothing and empty-handed, he had nothing else.
This was the treatment for newcomers. Sebastian looked around and saw that this beautiful little village was increasingly surrounded by new players.
"Big Brother, this game feels so real. It's like we've traveled to another world."
"Looking at the beautiful scenery, I wanted to compose poetry to share with the world, but I'm not educated, so all I can say is, 'Wow, that mountain is huge!'"
"I'm a complete newbie to the game; how do you play it? I don't know anything."
"The Shark Gang is recruiting! Quick sign up!"
"Are there any girls looking for in-game relationships? I'm called Cold Love Zang Ai!"
...
It was very noisy all around.
At the village entrance stood an elderly man. Anyone who had played even a bit of an online game knew he was definitely an NPC offering quests. As a result, everyone gathered around to find the old man and get tasks from him.
Sebastian, however, did not intend to go with the flow. He bypassed the village chief and entered the village.
There were many people in the village, all of them like Sebastian, thinking that there were too many people at the village entrance. So, they came inside to try their luck. There were people everywhere, searching for NPCs to communicate with and find quests.
Sebastian's appearance made him the center of attention as soon as he entered the village. At the village entrance, there were too many people for anyone to notice him, but once he came inside, Sebastian immediately became the focus.
"Wow! I see a super handsome guy!"
"Hey, big brother, want to team up?"
"Handsome, do you have a girlfriend? Sister fell in love with you at first sight."
"I think he's even more handsome than my favorite idol. What do you all think?"
"Could this be some recently debuted star? I need to look it up."
Many female players chattered and gossiped, their eyes unable to look away from Sebastian.
Male players, on the other hand, were all utterly shocked.
"Darn, this kid is even more handsome than Jay Chou from Baoding!"
"I, Caixian Gabriel, am the first not to yield!"
"Wuyuan Messi reporting in!"
"Did you all ask if he's Xuetong Antonio?"
Sebastian's appearance made the already noisy village even more lively. What was even more exaggerated was that it wasn't just the players who had such a big reaction to Sebastian's arrival.
Even the female NPC villagers in the village began to look at Sebastian one after another.
A graceful and charming woman, the owner of the village's tailor shop, was obviously sending quests to other players. But when she saw Sebastian, it was as if she had encountered a lover.
She even stopped giving out tasks and asked the players queuing up to find her to make way for her. Then, swaying her waist and taking a seductive step, she walked up to Sebastian.
The young woman took the initiative to chat, saying, "Hello, young one. I'm called Xizzy, the owner of the village's tailor shop. Do you want to take on a quest? Sister can arrange it for you. If you find the task too challenging, sister can even help you complete it. It's been five years since sister's husband passed away. Sister has been single all these years."
She added, "If you find the task too difficult, sister can even help you complete it. It's been five years since sister's husband passed away. Sister has been single all these years."
All the players were flabbergasted, watching this scene with gaping mouths.
While others were seeking quests from NPCs, Sebastian had an NPC offering him quests proactively, and she was even willing to help him complete them. And to top it off, the widow shop owner seemed to have taken a liking to Sebastian, openly revealing her relationship status.
This was unbelievable!
Immediately, a male player stepped forward and protested to the widow. "Unfair! Why should he be allowed to cut in? We've been waiting for so long, and you even said you'd help him with tasks. This is totally unfair! We protest!" Surprisingly, the widow displayed a completely different attitude towards him than she did with Sebastian. She gave a disdainful look to the protesting male player and instead of trying to ease the situation, she mocked him. "Before you protest, why don't you take a good look at yourself? I likes handsome younger brothers, is that not allowed? I am going to take care of him, if you have a problem, you can leave. Nobody asked you to come here for tasks." The male player was so infuriated that he felt like spitting blood. He had never been insulted by a game NPC before. He angrily walked away. However, after the widow's statement, the other players who were unhappy remained silent. They were afraid to upset her and risk not receiving tasks from her. Consi
Sebastian strolled out of the village. At the village entrance, there was a simple directional sign indicating the locations of various wild animals near the village. The territory of the Bamboo Leaf Green Snakes was in the southeast direction, within the bamboo forest. Sebastian raised the iron sword and headed towards the bamboo forest. His sword was particularly conspicuous in the eyes of others. After all, everyone else was unarmed, so they were all very curious. "Hi.bro, how did you get this weapon?" "Young man, can you tell me how you obtained this weapon? I want one too~" "Hey, big bro, can you take me along? Can we team up?" "Buddy, do you sell that sword? I'll pay, we can do an out-of-game trade, I'll transfer money to you via Alipay or zelle." Sebastian was bombarded with questions, feeling quite annoyed. He hurriedly increased his pace to shake off most of the players who were tailing him. However, there was still a small group of players who continued to follow
This made him somewhat surprised. Because the drop rate of equipment in "Wild Valley World" is extremely low, especially for weaker monsters, the probability of dropping equipment is even lower. He didn't expect that he would get an equipment just by killing a common snake in the mortal world, which was truly unexpected. His surprise lasted only for a moment, and Sebastian immediately figured it out. It must be the credit of his innate luck at its peak. His innate luck was clearly labeled as "Great Luck." In "Wild Valley World," luck is divided into four categories: Bad Luck, Average Luck, Good Luck, and Great Luck. The majority of players have Average Luck. A very small number of players have either Bad Luck or Good Luck. As for Great Luck, it's extremely rare, like finding a needle in a haystack. Of course, Great Luck doesn't mean you can get epic items by randomly killing a chicken; such situations are only possible in the legendary game endorsed by Da Shu. In "Wild Valle
The foolish often end up at a disadvantage. Sebastian gave a slight smile to van Dijk, pretending to be polite. "Thanks, buddy. I'm Sebastian." Seeing this, van Dijk felt a sense of superiority, but he maintained a polite demeanor on the surface. Just as he was about to exchange some pleasantries and then move on to his grand plan, Sebastian hastily said, "I've got urgent business to attend to, so I'll be on my way. We can chat another time." With that, he disappeared from sight. Leaving van Dijk with his mouth agape, the words he intended to say were left hanging in his throat, unspoken. "Young master, that guy is too disrespectful!" one of his subordinates remarked. Van Dijk's face alternated between pale and flushed, but he quickly smiled. "Maybe he really had something important to attend to. His attitude was still decent, and he's definitely skilled. It's normal for skilled people to have their quirks. Let's make a connection first. We don't need to rush; he'll serve us
Van Dijk's cold gaze: "Are you sure you want to oppose me?"The short-haired woman gave him a glance and said, "The highest bidder wins, we each set our own prices. How can that be considered targeting? Just because you have your eye on something, doesn't mean others can't desire it too.""Is there a price you have in mind?""How I set the price is my business.""Very well!" Van Dijk coldly uttered this and turned to leave.Fifty thousand was just a small matter for him. It was merely for a beginner's equipment. As the descendant of a business family, he didn't want to be a sucker.Furthermore, he felt that even if he was willing to pay fifty thousand, the other party would continue to raise the price."Wait, Mr.Van," Sebastian suddenly called out to him.Van Dijk turned around, and Sebastian said with a 'sincere' expression, "After all, we're friends. If you're willing to pay half a million, I'll sell you the bow."Van Dijk was delighted and immediately agreed.The short-haired woman
"Then why don't you sell it to van Dijk? Aren't you friends?"The short-haired woman responded quickly, asking. "Who told you that I was his friend? Such a rotten person doesn't deserve to be my friend. I was just having fun with him. I am an independent person with no money or power. If I want to earn a living, I have to endure it."Sebastian shrugged, speaking casually. Sebastian sighed and said, "I'm just looking out for you. This bow and arrows aren't worth the price, and the poison arrows are limited. Buying them would be a waste of money. Moreover, once you join a sect, they'll provide you with basic weapons that have better attributes." "Do you even know this much? Are you an internal tester? But I haven't heard of any internal testing for this game," the short-haired woman said in surprise. Sebastian realized he had said too much and quickly explained, "Have you seen Nüwa in the game?" "Of course." "I got this information from her." "You can do that?" The short-haired
"Oh! Heaven-defying fate talent activated! Heaven-defying contrary path: all attributes doubled!" “Oh! Heaven-defying fate talent activated! Born against the heavens: rewarded with a random talent!" "Oh! Random talent confirmed: Essence of vitality, increases vitality by 10%, can be upgraded three times!" "Oh! In thirty minutes, a heavenly calamity will descend, please handle with caution." Here's the translation of the provided passage: "A warm stream flowed into Sebastian's body, like a long-awaited refreshing rain after a drought, sweeping away all his fatigue. And he was filled with strength. Sebastian quickly checked his own attributes." 【Player: Sebastian】 【Innate Talent: Life-Altering Destiny】 【Sect: None】 【Profession: None】 【Reputation: 0】 【Cultivation: 0/500】 【Realm: Early stage of Qi Refinement Realm】 【Innate Physique: 100】 【Innate Grace: 100】 【Innate Insight: 100】 【Innate Charm: Extraordinary Grace】 【Innate Luck: Great Fortune】 [Health: 1000/1000+10%
Faced with these three pieces of equipment. After a brief consideration, the short-haired girl spoke. "I'll give you 50,000 each for the Ironfist Gauntlets and the Bronzeskull Blade, how does that sound?" Sebastian nodded and agreed. Not every piece of equipment could be sold for 500,000 gold coins like the Green Snake Bow. Firstly, the Green Snake Bow was considered the first auction item, and its properties were top-notch for newbie gear. Plus, the intentional price raising by the short-haired girl had driven the price up to 500,000. If Sebastian really thought any random newbie white-grade equipment could be sold for 500,000, that would be wishful thinking. The true value of the Green Snake Bow would be worth 50,000 was already a pleasant surprise. Moreover, the properties of the Ironfist Gauntlets and the Bronzeskull Blade couldn't compare with the Green Snake Bow, especially when it came to the poison arrows. The difference was significant. To offer 50,000 for each piece
After putting the three items away, Sebastian opened his properties panel.【Player: Sebastian】【Innate Talent: Life-Altering Destiny】【Sect: Heavenly Sword Sect】[Reputation: 620][Achievement Medal: Murderous Aura (damage to monsters +1%)][Innate attributes: full][Realm: Late stage of Qi refining][Cultivation: 0/2000][Acquired talent: Tree of HP (upper limit of HP +30%)]【HP: 6604/6604】[Mana: 4100/4100][Strength: 121][Psychic power: 44]【Defense: 85】[Speed: 119][Knowing: 7][Heart protection: 10][Fire resistance: 5][Dodge: 11%][Swordsmanship Qualification: +45%][Alchemy Qualification: +50%][Heart Technique: Heaven's Growth Heart Sutra 67% for beginners)][Movement skills: Shadow Step (67% for beginners), Mist Rush (56% for beginners)][Martial skills: Frost Moon Slash (56% for beginners), Phoenix Feather (45% for beginners)][Equipment: Spirit·Sword Sect Attire, Spirit·Scarlet Cloud Sword, Spirit·Converging Spirit Jade Pendant, Spirit·Stone-sinking Ring, Spirit·Cloud-tr
Ah! Jason finally let out a scream that was horrifying, echoing through the surroundings, and then fainted, unsure if he was alive or dead. The commotion in the room attracted the hotel staff, who heard intense sounds of struggle inside and immediately brought keys to open the door. Upon opening the door, everyone was shocked by the scene before them. Jason lay sprawled on the floor like a dead dog, blood everywhere, his face unrecognizable. Blood continued to flow beneath his pants. Sebastian, on the other hand, stood there like the god of death, coldly watching them. Even the robust security personnel present were chilled to the bone, their bodies cold, as if they were being stared at by a fierce beast. "Don't...don't do anything reckless. We've already called the police..." the hotel manager said trembling with fear. Sebastian finally regained his composure and calmly walked to the sofa, sitting down. "Then let's wait for the police." Seeing Sebastian stabilize, the hotel
Jason took a glance at Sebastian, whose face changed when he realized Sebastian wasn't drinking, pretending not to be pleased. "Sebastian, I've noticed you haven't had a sip of alcohol. You must drink this toast for your sister's birthday." Sebastian grinned and replied, "Jason, it's not that I don't want to drink. I rented that sports car, and I have to return it soon after dinner. Otherwise, I'll incur a hefty rental fee." "You're leaving right after dinner?" Jason raised an eyebrow upon hearing this. "Yeah, but I need to drop my sister off first," Sebastian answered. Jason wasn't pleased and mockingly said, "Oh, does it require your attention? There are so many of Eva's female colleagues here. Can't they give her a ride? Hurry up and return the car; otherwise, can you afford the overnight fee if you delay?" "I can't afford it..." Sebastian looked fearful. "That's right. Don't worry. After dinner, if your sister has had too much to drink, let her colleagues take care of it,"
Jason said more, the angrier Eva became. She had initially just wanted to treat everyone to a casual meal, and now she was forced into spending over fifty thousand. Eva was growing increasingly disgusted with Jason. "Sebastian, I might have to spend a lot of your money today. Consider it a loan from me," Eva whispered to Sebastian. Sebastian smiled, bringing his head close to Eva's soft and tender ear, exhaling warm air as if his lips were about to touch. "Sis, I've said it before, my money is your money." Sebastian's actions made Eva's ears turn red, and her body started to tingle. Sebastian seemed reluctant to pull away, continuing, "Sis, rest assured. This guy likes to show off, and today, we'll fleece him properly." Eva was already blushing and feeling dizzy, not really hearing what Sebastian was saying. "Are you Dr. Jason?" Sebastian walked up to Jason. "My sister often mentions you, saying you're humble, courteous, righteous, and always eager to help others." Although J
! ChatGPTJason's face turned ashen, realizing that his first plan seemed impossible to execute.Originally, he had planned to deceive Eva and her colleagues into going to the most luxurious hotel, having a feast, and ordering a bunch of expensive items. Given Eva's financial ability, she certainly couldn't afford it.Then, he would step in as the hero, not only winning Eva's favor but also putting her in debt to him. In a previous life, Eva had indeed fallen for such a scheme. After that birthday celebration, she owed Jason a lot of money, and when Sebastian didn't show up, she learned from Sebastian's college roommate after making a call.Sebastian was in a romantic relationship, which explained his avoidance of her. Heartbroken, Eva, and Jason playing the role of a good guy, consoled her. Eva's parents, impressed by Jason, supported their relationship.Having lost Sebastian and all expectations of love, Eva, following her parents' wishes, married Jason. However, on their wed
"Eva, you have to believe me. This game, in the future, will definitely have great prospects. Join the game with me. I'll teach you how to play, the kind where you'll learn everything from me."Sebastian hadn't done anything wrong; he just spoke to her with a serious and earnest expression. He had walked over, intending for Eva to see his expression clearly. He wasn't joking; he was sincere.Feeling reassured, Eva also felt a bit inexplicably disappointed.Suddenly, Sebastian reached his hand under the blanket covering her and slid it over her abdomen, accurately capturing Eva's delicate jade-like hand.Eva shivered all over, clearly startled. Following that, her snow-white and transparent face blushed suddenly, as if the glow of the setting sun dyed her cheeks red, hot and fiery.Fortunately, it was nighttime, and Sebastian didn't see it. He continued persuading her."Jie, this way, we can live together. We can be together every day.""Even if, even if my prediction fails, and this g
Seeing this old and dilapidated residential area, Sebastian furrows his brow."Sis, you live here? This place is almost scheduled for demolition. Are you renting a risky building?"Eva awkwardly laughs, "It's cheap here, and it's close to the hospital where I work. It's okay.""What do you mean 'it's okay'? There isn't even a security guard. What if you encounter bad people when you come home from night shifts?""There aren't that many bad people. Okay, okay, let's go inside."Afraid that Sebastian might spend money again, Eva quickly pulls him upstairs.Opening the door, it's a one-bedroom apartment. Though also old, it's very clean, well-organized, and the floor is so polished it reflects light.Sebastian can't help but feel a bit bitter. He knows that if Eva didn't save him a monthly living allowance, she could afford a better place.But to save money for herself, she chooses to live here."Sebastian, come in. Sis will pour you some water. You must be tired after a day's work. Sit
Scrolling down further, it's the gaming market. In just a few days since the public beta of "Wild Valley World," it has captured 90% of the global gaming market. Its unprecedented popularity and broad audience are unparalleled. It's even hotter than the first holographic game "Ultimatum" from years ago. Many players from other games have lost interest, and some games have even gone bankrupt and closed down. This has attracted numerous capital investments and enterprises, all eager to form guilds within the game. The in-game equipment and common currency in "Wild Valley World" are fetching high prices in the market, changing daily. As of now, any spiritual-grade equipment or skill in "Wild Valley World" can be sold for hundreds of thousands or even millions. A low-grade spiritual stone is currently trading at a rate of 1:125 to the Chinese Yuan, and this ratio is still rising. The subsequent posts on the forum are discussions among players regarding the strengths and weaknesse
"Oh, I see. My mistake. Eva, your brother looks really handsome. Good genes in your family," Jason praised.Eva shook her head, smiled gently, and said, "Sebastian is not my biological brother; he is my cousin.""Well, that still has some connection with your family. Cousins share a familial bond between your parents and Sebastian's parents, right?" Jason chuckled.Eva shook her head again, saying, "No, Sebastian and I, although cousins, our relationship has exceeded the fifth degree of kinship. We're not considered relatives."Eva didn't understand why she felt the need to explain her relationship with Sebastian, especially in front of her colleagues.Upon hearing this, Jason's smile quickly faded. Afraid of losing control of his expression, he sneered a few times."All right, you two continue your chat. I have patients to attend to; I'll leave first."After saying that, Jason turned and left the gynecology department. Before leaving, he couldn't help but glance at Sebastian.As soon
