Dormitory group chat, my information updated daily.

Today, you punished the thief who stole your labor, recovered your tools and the fruits of your labor, hunted a long-tailed rabbit, and explored the terrain of a section of the western side of Starlight Lake...

[At dusk, you were fortunate enough to encounter a group of wandering apes and traded your belongings with them, obtaining highly valuable items such as 'Three-Star Grass' and 'Shining Starfruit', and even the extremely valuable 'Tear of the Stars'!]

You rescued the trapped night raven from its captive fate, saving it from death and granting it the gift of companionship. With this, you have your first companion and eyes that can soar through the skies...

Overall rating: 77 points, reward being distributed...

[Congratulations on obtaining: Homestead Expansion Card (Medium) x2, Beginner Forging Table Building Card, Livestock Pen Building Card, Random E+ Grade Set x1, Selectable E Grade Job Skill Book Pack x1, Solar-Powered Walkie-Talkie x2]

"Holy crap! 58 points! Survival score hits a new record!"

Wang Tianyuan cheered excitedly, and Ji Mingyu nodded slightly and said:

"Not bad, you scored higher than me. I only got 53 points. What rewards did you get?"

Wang Tianyuan's lips curled up, revealing a wicked and arrogant smile to his brothers:

"Shh! Don't talk, just watch me!"

As he spoke, he rolled out of bed, picked up the composite bow, and nocked an arrow.

The next second, the smile on his lips disappeared, and his face became calm as still water, as if he had entered a state of enlightenment.

"Huh? It's a skill? It looks a lot like your [Calm Mind] skill, Brother Yun."

Zhong Mo exclaimed in surprise, but Xiao Yun chuckled and shook his head:

"It's more than just a skill..."

Looking into Wang Tianyuan's eyes, which were gleaming with a faint light, Xiao Yun couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation.

The next second, with a whoosh, the arrow, leaving a trail of afterimages, pierced the dark night and embedded itself in the door frame.

"Uh... wait, you shot nothing?"

He felt that the arrow was incredibly weak; not only did it miss, but the tip barely touched the target, making it appear feeble and powerless.

Zhong Mo looked at Wang Tianyuan with a bewildered expression.

"Heh, how could mortals possibly recognize my unparalleled archery skills?"

Wang Tianyuan smiled dismissively and said:

"Pull it off and take a look!"

"What's so interesting about pulling it off...?"

Zhong Mo scratched his head and pulled out the bow and arrow as instructed.

Here, your arrow.

Wang Tianyuan's lips twitched slightly, and he rolled his eyes helplessly, his masterly demeanor completely ruined.

"Idiot! Look closely at what's piercing the tip of that arrow!"

"What's that... Holy crap! There really is a fly!"

Zhong Mo exclaimed in surprise, looked at Wang Tianyuan, and stared wide-eyed.

"How about that? Awesome, right? These are my two skills that I acquired today: [Concentration] and [Eagle Eye]. From today onwards, I'm a sharpshooter who can hit a target from a hundred paces!"

"Awesome!"

Zhong Mo gave a thumbs up.

Xiao Yun noticed Wang Tianyuan's weakness after activating both skills, smiled, didn't point it out, and instead offered a few words of praise in a very cooperative manner.

"By the way, Fatty, what good stuff did you get in the settlement?"

"It's not a great item, it has two skills, but the skills are rather dull."

"Oh, what skill? Show me."

Wang Tianyuan asked curiously, and Zhong Mo nodded, then suddenly shut his mouth, his expression very serious.

"..."

Why aren't you saying anything?

"..."

Wang Tianyuan frowned, intending to ask him what he was up to.

Suddenly, Zhong Mo looked over, his eyes flashing with a sharp light.

Wang Tianyuan opened his mouth in surprise, but couldn't say a word, and felt a few seconds of mental confusion.

"Holy crap! What kind of skill is that?"

"【silence】"

Zhong Mo smiled and scratched his head.

"Great, it even has crowd control! What about the other one?"

"Um, the other skill is taunting... I'd better not hide it, or you might shoot me with an arrow."

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Wang Tianyuan laughed heartily, then turned to Zhong Mo to talk about the skill combinations and combo strategies for main tanks and AD carries.

"Ah Yuan's reward today is great, now we have an ADC in the team."

Ji Mingyu, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke, catching Xiao Yun's attention.

"What rewards did you claim?"

"Hehe, it's nothing, besides the garbage trap, I only received one reward."

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yun became even more curious.

You know, the best things come in small packages. The day before yesterday, I scored 45 points and only received one reward, which was the very powerful skill [Calm Mind].

"What reward? Let me see."

"This is difficult to demonstrate; it's a talent, related to combat..."

Ji Mingyu pursed his lips, pondering how to describe this talent.

The next second, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said with a smile:

"Hey, do you know Sett from League of Legends?"

"I know, what does it mean? Your talent is 'Battlefield Heroism'?"

"No, I mean that after I activated my talents, my characteristics are very similar to Sett's."

"What characteristics?"

Xiao Yun looked bewildered, but then she saw Ji Mingyu grin.

"Left punch deals high damage, right punch deals high damage."

"...And what's the price?"

"Your mana bar is depleted. You cannot regenerate mana or use other skills while the talent is active."

"Hiss... This isn't right, is it? I remember you got the Cleric set the day before yesterday, didn't you say you were going to pursue the Cleric path? Clerics are a type of mage, right? Doesn't your talent conflict with that?"

"Who told you about the conflict? Have you ever heard of a combat priest?"

Ji Mingyu smiled crookedly and shared his vision for the future:

"Pack up all your buffs before the battle, then grab your staff and go into battle. One punch and you're done. You can tank, deal damage, and heal your teammates."

Xiao Yun looked astonished.

I was so scared by the sweat and effort of the Great Master Ji Ba that I cried.

"And you, with Star Tears, your score must be very high, right? What are the rewards? Let me see them."

Ji Mingyu asked curiously.

"The score wasn't low, but the reward was just so-so."

Xiao Yun shrugged and recounted his reward.

"Tsk tsk tsk, this is nothing? This is outrageously generous!"

Ji Mingyu clicked his tongue in amazement, looking at Xiao Yun with a complex expression:

"Once you get through today, you'll be fully geared in the newbie village! You'll be able to slaughter everyone else like crazy!"

I thought I was strong enough after unleashing an incredible talent, but I never expected that the person in front of me was the real heavyweight.

"Stop dawdling, I'm getting impatient for you! Which one are you planning to draw first? A random set or a selectable class skill?"

Upon hearing his question, Xiao Yun pondered for a moment.

I now possess the versatile skill "Tranquility," and the skills provided by my equipment "Poem of Blood and Fire" and "Tears of the Stars" are also very versatile. My future development path is actually quite broad.

"Let's open the random set first. Although I like the Battle Mage class, other classes are also acceptable. Let's see which class the set's equipment is geared towards, and then choose class skills based on the set. This way, we can make the most of today's rewards."

Xiao Yun's analysis left Ji Mingyu speechless.

"As expected of you..."

Ji Mingyu sighed softly, and before he could finish speaking, the card in Xiao Yun's hand began to flash.

"Dude, don't you ever do any superstition or anything before you draw cards?"

"Metaphysics? Luck has been quantified, so why believe in metaphysics?"

Although I didn't sacrifice my best friend's ten years of single life, the items I drew were pretty good.

Set: [Beginner (Beginner Top, Beginner Pants, Beginner Shoes, Beginner Hat)]

[Occupation: General]

[Quality: D-]

Defense: 9

[Special Effect: When wearing the full set of equipment, all attributes increase by 1]

[Durability: 1200/1200]

Equipment Requirements: Strength 7, Agility 7, Constitution 7, Intelligence 7

[Description: The most basic beginner set, but also widely recognized as the most practical. This world has countless powerful and wondrous sets, but whenever you embark on a journey, your suitcase will always contain a beginner's set...]

"this……"

Looking at the description of the outfit, Xiao Yun didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

The Beginner's Set is a universal set with extremely high cost-effectiveness, but it also completely ruined his idea of ​​choosing a class based on the set.

"Oh my, what choice will our Xiao Yun make now?"

Ji Mingyu looked over with a smile, and Zhong Mo and Wang Tianyuan also stopped talking and looked at Xiao Yun curiously.

Although everyone gained a lot today and made great strides in strength, the brothers all know that the strongest fighter in the dormitory is still Xiao Yun.

It can be said that Xiao Yun's choice regarding his future career development determined the team's tactical deployment and strategic thinking.

Feeling the expectant gazes from his brothers, Xiao Yun suddenly felt a bit more pressure on him.

I've never liked being in the limelight, but without realizing it, I've become the core of the team.

[Ding! The Selectable Class Skill Book Pack has been activated. Please choose one of the following classes and select the corresponding class skill book.]

Available Classes: Warrior, Tank, Mage, Assassin, Archer, Priest, Summoner, Alchemist

Xiao Yun pondered for a moment, then suddenly laughed heartily:

"In that case, I'll choose the mage."

The mage class is a classic with a wealth of development paths. In the future, players can not only develop in the direction of their preferred combat style, but also have a wide variety of skills and talent combinations that are suitable for the currently unknown wilderness environment and greatly enhance the team's combat power.

Having made up his mind, Xiao Yun didn't hesitate any longer and clicked on the system panel.

[Ding! You have selected the Mage class.]

Please choose one of the following skills.

[Optional Skills: Holy Light, Fireball, Lightning Bolt... Barrier, Protection... Enchantment, Mana Flow... Pierce, Pull... Blood Arrow, Blood Dance...]

Faced with a string of skills, Xiao Yun was overwhelmed with choices.

Each skill represents a different school of thought, and Xiao Yun, who had his own plan, quickly chose the skill that best suited him.

[Ding! Skill selected: Mana Flow]

[Skill Book: Mana Stream]

[Applicable Class: Mage]

Rank: E

[Passive effect: None]

[Active Effect: Materializes mana, allowing it to take on any form or physical entity desired by the user. The power depends on the user's intelligence attribute and the amount of mana consumed.]

[Learning Requirements: Intelligence Level 12]

[Description: Reputed to have the highest skill ceiling, but also the least beginner-friendly initial skill for the mage class. You will use it to become a god, or a god-like being...]

Ignoring the system's skill description and seeing that his attributes met the learning requirements, Xiao Yun learned the skill without hesitation.

This time, learning the skill took much longer than learning [Calm Mind]. By the time Xiao Yun woke up, everyone else had already fallen asleep.

"This skill is indeed a bit difficult..."

Xiao Yun clicked his tongue and tried to use the mana flow according to the theoretical methods in his mind.

"Let's try to condense a sword... never mind, a staff will do."

Xiao Yun concentrated intently, imagining the shape of the short stick in his mind, and manipulated his magic power to condense it into form.

In an instant, the blue energy was depleted, and the imagined short stick only condensed into a section a dozen centimeters long.

Xiao Yun looked at the stick in his hand, his expression complicated, and closed his eyes wearily.

If he could choose again, he would definitely choose the simple and unpretentious enchantment...

"The only solution is to practice more, or improve your intelligence attribute; that should help a lot."

Xiao Yun silently planned his extra training session and equipped himself with the full set of the [Beginner's Set].

[Ding! Set bonus activated, all attributes +1!]

Abundant power surged into his body, and upon opening his personal panel, he found that his attributes had undergone a dramatic transformation compared to a few days ago.

Name: Xiao Yun

Occupation: None

Rank: None

[Talent: None]

Health Points: 233/233. (Regenerates 6.8 health points per hour)

[Mana: 146/146. (Regenerates 4.7 mana per hour)]

【Strength: 10】

[Agility: 9.8]

[Physical Fitness: 13.4]

【Intelligence: 14】

Luck: 2

Passive Skill: Calm Mind

[Active Skills: Focus, Mana Flow]

"With the [Tears of the Stars], after about 8 hours, my constitution and intelligence increased by 0.2. That means I gained 0.6 in intelligence and constitution attributes for free in a day without doing anything..."

Xiao Yun silently did the calculations and couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement.

However, the reserves of Star Tears have also decreased by 0.2%, and it is estimated that they will fall below double digits in a few more days.

"Hopefully, the update will bring news about the power of the stars..."

Just as I was thinking this, the system's crisp notification sound rang out.

[Ding! Preview information has been updated!]

[Preview 1: In the mountains 17 kilometers to the northwest, a sky apex predator—the Golden Eagle—has shed its juvenile stage, spread its wings, and soared through the skies. It will leave its mark and reputation nearby, clearly establishing its position in the food chain. If you unfortunately encounter a Golden Eagle—do not panic. Burying your head under your crotch may be a little shameful, but it will save your life.]

[Preview 2: Strong winds will pick up tomorrow, bringing tumbleweeds that will float in the sky. These tumbleweeds contain gifts from the world—but also some mischief. Those with bad luck should not open them… Fortunately, one tumbleweed containing a wondrous object will land one kilometer east of Starlight Lake; unfortunately, it lands in the nest of the Star Moon Goose…]

[Announcement 3: There is an iron mine 1 kilometer southeast of Starlight Lake. Although the quality is only F grade and the iron content is very low, it can be mined with a stone pickaxe.]
