68 Leaving the Starter Village; Super Reward SSS-Grade Talent

There was a flash.

Chu Bai appeared in a bustling city.

He was in an empty square.

There were not many people, but there were at least a hundred people walking around in his line of sight.

After all, the players had not arrived yet. These were all NPCs.

[Ding. You’ve arrived at Liuzhou City of the Kamikaze Empire.]

[Ding. You’ve chosen the human race.]

[Ding. You’re the first player in the world to leave the starter village, reputation +100,000, diamond treasure chest.]

[Ding. As you’re the first player in the world to leave a starter village, the system will make a global system announcement. The system will not hide your ID by default, and the announcement will be made 20 times. Your ID will be emphasized, and the prefix of your ID is ‘handsome’. Are you sure you want to confirm?]

Chu Bai raised his brows.

This system was quite sensible.

“I’m sure.”

[Ding. All players please take note, the handsome player Bai Ye from Hua Nation battlezone’s 77777 Starter Village is the first to leave a starter village.]

[Ding…]

…

Whoosh!

The crowd was in an uproar.

“Way to go! As expected, God Bai Ye is the first to leave the starter village! You’ve made the Hua Nation battlezone proud!”

“I’m so jealous. I wonder what the reward for being the first to leave a starter village is.”

“I think it’s high-grade equipment? They couldn’t possibly give him another talent, right? Hahahaha!”

…

Chu Bai stood there.

His reputation points were already at 560,000.

Reputation points had many uses. For example, reputation points were needed to establish guilds and establish cities. There were many other uses for reputation points too, and they were only useful to top-tier players.

“A diamond treasure chest?”

Chu Bai then took a look.

[Diamond Treasure Chest: a reward for the first player to leave a starter village. When the diamond treasure chest is opened, one can randomly draw an additional talent from the S, SS, and SSS talents.]

Chu Bai was speechless.

“Is this even possible?”

Chu Bai opened the diamond treasure chest without hesitation.

[Ding. Random talent drawing in progress, please wait.]

[Ding. Congratulations on obtaining the SSS-grade talent, Super Reduction.]

Chu Bai raised his brows.

SSS-grade talent!

This lucky effect was too awesome!

He then took a look at the effects of Super Reduction.

[Super Reduction: SSS-grade talent. The holder of this talent will not require consumption when executing skills, and the cooldown of all skills (except equipment) will be permanently reduced by 50%.]

Chu Bai was speechless.

F*ck!

How fierce!

It was actually a skill with no consumption, and all skill cooldowns were halved.

In other words, Blade Waltz and Triple Flame Slash only had a 15-second cooldown.

He did not have much mana to begin with. If he used Wind Dancing in the Sky and Double Phoenix Flight, he would use up his mana even faster. With this new talent, all his problems were solved!

It was definitely an SSS-grade talent.

[Ding. Attention all players around the world, player Emperor from 66666 Starter Village in the Hua Nation battlezone is the second player to leave a starter village.]

[Ding. Attention all players around the world, player Shadow from 99999 Starter Village in the Hua Nation battlezone is the third to leave a starter village.]

[Ding. Attention all players around the world, player Feng Ling from 00250 Starter Village in the Hua Nation battlezone is the fourth to leave a starter village.]

…

Not long after Chu Bai left the starter village, a series of system notifications rang out.

In fact, a difference of a few seconds between them could even change the ranking.

“F*ck! Our Hua Nation battlezone is awesome!”

“They’re all famous experts, but this time, a newcomer has appeared and suppressed the three big shots. The first was idol Bai Feng, and now there’s God Bai Ye. I seriously suspect that the IDs of these games have a special buff.”

“I understand! I’ll definitely add ‘Bai’ to my ID in the future!”

…

Chu Bai did not care about this. He took out the class change scroll for Sword God.

He did not want to give up and wanted to try again.

Chu Bai tried to crush it.

[Ding. Class change failed.]

Chu Bai frowned.

“Why?”

He had never encountered such a thing.

He tried again.

[Ding. Class change failed.]

He looked at the class change scroll and then silently put it away.

“I’ll go to the job-changing point for the second job-changing.”

Chu Bai planned to go offline and rest after completing his second transition.

The battle with Gluttony had almost exhausted him to death. If they had fought any longer, he would have starved to death even if he was not killed by Gluttony.

There was a large shed in front of him on the right, and seven old men were sitting there. This was the place for the second transition.

Every city had a class change point.

Chu Bai walked over.

The old men were stretching and chatting.

“Old Man Chang Feng, how were the two women from Chunhua Brothel last night? They’re alright, right?”

The blue-haired old man called Old Man Chang Feng said, “They’re very big and smooth, but they’re a little expensive.”

“They’re not expensive. It’s just that the six of us went too many times, so we’re naturally short of money. Old Swordsman, it was your first time going last night. How did it feel?”

An old man of about 50 years old, who was holding a sword and sitting upright, opened his eyes.

His eyes were still sharp.

The swordsman said, “Ahem, it was alright.”

“Hahaha! You old thing, you’re always so serious. You kept saying that you wouldn’t go to that kind of place even if you died. Look at you now. You’re glowing, hahaha!”

The few old men looked at the swordsman and laughed.

“Don’t talk nonsense.”

The swordsman’s face turned red.

“Sigh, just do your work honestly. Let’s not think about this for now.”

The swordsman glanced at them and said, “It’s fine. Tonight’s my treat.”

“Oh, I’ve known you for 30 years, but you’ve never treated me to a meal before. Now you’re treating six people to a meal? What are you up to, Old Swordsman.”

“Don’t talk nonsense! I just… I only patronized their business because I saw that they were pitiful!” the swordsman said in exasperation.

Chu Bai stood in front of them and listened to their conversation. He was obviously a little embarrassed.

“Ahem.”

At this moment, Chu Bai coughed dryly.

The seven of them paused and looked at Chu Bai in unison.

“What did you hear, kid?” Huo Yan nervously asked.

“Ah, it’s nothing. I didn’t hear anything. I’m here to change my class,” Chu Bai said.

They looked at each other.

“An adventurer from another world?”

Chu Bai nodded.

They looked at each other.

“You’re finally here. Take a seat. What class do you want to change to? By the way, you really didn’t hear anything, did you?” Yan Huo coughed dryly and asked, returning to his normal appearance.

“Yes, I didn’t hear you,” Chu Bai said.

“That’s good. You’re smart, kid. What class do you want to change to?”

“Second-class Swordsman.”

“Old Swordsman, he’s your guy.”

The swordsman hugged his sword with both hands as he sat there, looking at Chu Bai.

“Ten gold coins.”

“I need to pay?” Chu Bai asked.

“The class change costs ten gold coins. It’s the same for everyone.”

The swordsman lifted his teacup and took a sip of tea.

“No, no! It’s 100 gold coins. Class advancement requires 100 gold coins! Young man, do you have a hundred gold coins?” Huo Yan said to him with a smile.

Chu Bai rubbed his chin.

“Alright, 100 gold coins it is, then. I was planning to save some money for Chunhua Brothel.”

“Pfft!”

The swordsman spat out his tea.
