Legendary Person: I brought my skills back to reality!

Xu Hao took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and concentrated. He silently recited the word "system" in his mind, and a semi-transparent interface immediately appeared before him. With a gentle swipe of his mind, the interface slid to the left, revealing the familiar character attribute panel.

Just then, Xu Hao noticed a new character frame appearing next to the attribute panel. Curious, he focused his attention there, and a smooth, humanoid silhouette slowly emerged. As the silhouette became clearer, it was clearly a brand new character template.

"The equipment slots are empty, but the level is already 22."

Xu Hao observed carefully and found that this new character panel was arranged side by side with his main class attribute panel, clearly representing his newly acquired second class. The blank attribute panel and unfilled skill slots were waiting for him to fill them.

Xu Hao carefully examined the newly acquired mage class attribute panel, and couldn't help but feel a little worried. The empty equipment and skill slots meant that he needed to start preparing everything from scratch.

He opened his inventory and checked his savings. Although he had accumulated quite a bit of gold coins from leveling up and fighting monsters, it might be enough to fully equip a mage class now, but as he leveled up, he couldn't just use generic gear, could he? This wasn't like the style of Third Master (Xu Hao's former game name, Xu San'er).

Xu Hao began listing items in his mind: At the very least, he needed a magic wand, right? Not to mention a full set of Zuma magic, he needed at least a full set of Woma magic, right? He didn't have the Dragon Bracelet or the Purple Conch Shell, but he should at least have the Sibel and the Ruby Ring, right?

The mage class uses a ton of skill books, and each one is expensive. Magic Shield, Ice Roar, Hellfire—Xu Hao can't afford any of them right now. But thankfully, he can't level up those skills yet; he can take it slow. Skill books before level 22 are readily available in bookstores.

Thinking of this, Xu Hao couldn't help but rub his temples. He had originally planned to acquire items on the Fama Continent and then exchange them for money in the real world.

The pills, talismans, and teleportation tickets he creates himself will be very popular in the real world; the Bureau of Mysteries will definitely buy them all. Xu Hao won't lack money.

But with the emergence of this second profession, he's about to become penniless in the game world.

How can we generate money from the real world to support the game world? Those gold coins aren't physical coins; they're real, stored in your inventory like a bank account balance. We can't just find a mint in the real world to make a batch.

Hmm? ??? Xu Hao suddenly remembered something. "It seems like there might be a way?"

Xu Hao had a new idea. If it worked, it could solve a big problem, but he needed to wait a little longer and there was no rush.

Xu Hao took a deep breath, and with a thought, the world before him instantly distorted and changed. When his vision refocused, he was already standing on the familiar stone-paved road of Bichon City.

He rushed to the bookstore, the bell ringing crisply as he pushed open the wooden door. The bookish, antique aroma wafted out, and Xu Hao quickly walked to the counter.

"Boss, I need all the skill books for mages up to level 22."

The shop owner paused for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, just a moment."

He turned around and took down "Fireball," "Resistant Fire Ring," "Light of Temptation," "Hellfire," "Lightning," "Instant Teleport," "Great Fireball," and "Exploding Flame" from the bookshelf in turn, arranging them neatly on the counter.

"A total of 8 books, gold coins."

Xu Hao paid readily and put the books into his backpack. The shopkeeper hesitated for a moment, then finally said only, "Young man, you... this is..."

Xu Hao then rushed to the weapon shop. After carefully selecting for a while, he finally chose a crescent-shaped, jet-black weapon.

"This one's good, gold coins," the weapon shop owner said.

Xu Hao nodded, paid, and left.

Watching Xu Hao's hurried departure, the boss murmured, "Could it be him?"

In the clothing store, Xu Hao chose a magic robe.

“This gold coin,” the clothing store owner said.

Finally, they went to the jewelry store. Xu Hao carefully selected items and eventually bought an ebony necklace, a gold ring, and an ebony bracelet.

A total of gold coins.

Xu Hao, being a veteran player, knew some tricks. There were a few tips for buying clothing, jewelry, and weapons. If you found a piece of jewelry or clothing that, with the same durability, was significantly more expensive than other similar items, don't hesitate, buy it decisively. It might be a rare find with extra attribute bonuses.

Xu Hao did just that, and he actually guessed a few things correctly. The magic robe added a little more defense than normal, the crescent moon added a little more magic, and the ebony bracelet added a little more defense.

Of course, this would make things even worse for families that were already struggling financially.

After settling the bill, Xu Hao quickly walked to a secluded grove outside the city. After looking around to make sure no one was there, he took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and opened the system interface with a thought.

Then, Xu Hao placed the newly purchased equipment into his inventory. Hmm, now the character looks much better.

After getting his equipment ready, Xu Hao began learning skills. He opened skill books such as "Fireball," "Resistant Fire Ring," and "Light of Temptation" one by one, and clicked to learn them according to the system prompts. Streams of information flooded into his mind.

As Xu Hao closed the last book, "The Great Fireball," he felt a wave of exhaustion. He stood up, stretched his limbs, and felt the new power surging within him. Although still somewhat rudimentary, he knew he was now a powerful mage.

That way, back in the real world, if I encounter that weirdo in the abandoned factory again, I'll just strike it down with a lightning bolt! And that zombie king? I'll use a fire wall... well, I don't know how to use a fire wall yet...

Xu Hao took a deep breath, feeling the new power surging within him. He couldn't wait to test his abilities, and after a moment's thought, he decided to head to the stone tomb.

Although Xu Hao was only level 22, which should have made fighting pigs in the Stone Tomb a bit difficult, he was a dual-class mage. A level 22 mage and a level 22 Taoist could still manage the Stone Tomb with ease.

A flash of white light, and Xu Hao appeared in the safe zone of Tucheng. The scene before him made him sigh with emotion.

Compared to the bustling city of Bich, Mengzhong Tucheng appeared exceptionally dilapidated. Low mud-brick houses lined the narrow dirt roads, their roofs sparsely thatched. The air was thick with the mixed scents of earth and vegetation.

Xu Hao estimated that the entire area of ​​Mengzhong Tucheng was probably only one-fifth the size of Bich City. But the atmosphere here was completely different, revealing a desolate, post-apocalyptic feeling everywhere.

Just as he was sighing, footsteps approached. Xu Hao looked up and saw a player dressed in a Taoist robe pass by him. Behind the player was a large, fiery red dog, about the size of a donkey.

He was accompanied by a soldier carrying a large stick.

This was the first time Xu Hao had ever seen a player of such a high level in the game world.
