Lu Cang learned this from his previous life.

The Eternal Ruler is the only talent that humans can acquire and upgrade to SSS level.

This is a realm that no human being in their previous life could ever reach, including Lu Cang.

The previous cycles of reincarnation made Lu Cang understand.

Even with SS-level talent abilities, no matter how strong you are, you can't reach the upper limit of those abnormal laws.

Even if I were to walk the same path as in my previous life, even if I were ten times stronger in combat than in my previous life.

It is also absolutely impossible to break through the final dead end.

Moreover, although the path in the previous life seemed powerful, it actually didn't allow access to all the truly valuable resources.

Playing an assassin means giving up the resources of classes like mage, warrior, guardian, healer, archer, and gunner.

Similarly, when playing other professions, you also have to make some sacrifices.

Even if you choose the "All-rounder" class, which allows you to access all resources.

That also means giving up professions like [Supreme Destroyer] and [Undying Bulwark].

There are gains and losses in everything.

During Lu Cang's journey, he encountered many powerful skills and even divine artifacts from other professions.

However, due to its own limitations, it is unable to use it itself.

Furthermore, a person only has 10 equipment slots, and skill points are also limited. Even if you get skills and equipment, you can't equip them all or learn them all.

"It can copy the abilities of other members of the guild."

"If I can train everyone in the guild to be stronger than I was in my previous life, then my combat power will only be higher, not lower."

Therefore... this is the final path that Lu Cang intends to try.

If we could gather the strongest assassin, the strongest mage, the strongest warrior, the strongest healer, the strongest...

Collect all the strongest classes, obtain all the strongest items, skills and equipment, and combine them with the bonuses from SSS-level guild talents.

It's theoretically the strongest path.

"Enter as a freelancer without choosing a profession."

Are you sure you want to not choose a profession? This may reduce your attribute benefits, and this action is irreversible.

"confirm."

Before choosing a job change at level 20, a free-to-play player will have 1-2 fewer attribute points per level than other professions.

But in reality, this small difference in attribute value is negligible compared to the hundreds of thousands or millions of attribute values ​​that follow.

It's not even a fraction of the total.

The biggest advantage of a solo player in the early game is their balance; they can use skills from all classes, which is the strongest start for Lu Cang, who has experience in the Three Reincarnations Illusionary Realm.

You have obtained the profession - Casual Player.

Buzz—

You have entered the starting town – Maple City.

They reappeared on a familiar yet unfamiliar street.

All around, there were excited players. As soon as I entered, I could hear their excited shouts!

Wow! Is this the Illusionary World?!

"Haha, new server! I finally got a B-grade talent! This time I won't waste a single moment!"

After arriving in the town, Lu Cang did not waste any time and went straight to the location of the guild administrator.

During this phase, every NPC is surrounded by a large number of people.

However, in the current city, there is no collision volume between players, so they won't crowd together and cause a chaotic scene.

This is to protect the newlyweds.

Players will only start colliding in towns once they reach around level 20.

By then, the players would have already left the starting town and gone to explore the world.

Therefore, even if there are many players at this stage, it will not cause congestion.

Otherwise, with hundreds of millions of players simultaneously entering all three servers and crowding together, it would probably take several hours just to get to the NPCs and accept quests.

Lu Cang went directly to the guild administrator.

"I want to start a guild."

These non-special public NPCs are unique in the eyes of each player.

Even if many people are talking to this NPC at the same time, in each player's eyes, it's as if the NPC is serving them individually.

"Okay, please come up with a name for your guild."

"God kills."

Lu Cang had already decided on the name of the guild.

In his previous three lives, he was killed by the gods, leaving only a last resort to open the portal to time and space.

Even after being killed time and time again, and even if he could be reborn, Lu Cang could not forget it.

The guild's name was chosen partly to remind them that they were killed by a god.

On the other hand, this name can also be understood in reverse order—God of Slaughter.

In this life, it is my turn to slay a god.

"Congratulations! Your guild name registration is successful. You can activate your own guild by paying 100 copper coins within one day."

"If the registered guild coins are not paid within 24 hours, the name will be returned."

Luckily, I entered the game early, and no one had registered this guild name yet.

The first to register their guilds were mostly the large guilds, who had already sent people to register their own guild names.

Of course, if other players get there first, these guilds will also approach that player to negotiate a price, asking them to cancel their guild and release their name.

"100 copper coins?"

Lu Cang opened his backpack, which contained only 10 copper coins. This was the player's starting capital, clearly not enough to establish a guild. He needed to complete the first task to earn 100 copper coins.

"Yeah, it's on my way."

Lu Cang went to the vicinity of an elderly middle-aged man and accepted the task he had issued.

These are all non-special NPCs, and each player is unique in their own way.

However, due to the realism of the illusionary world.

If you do something to anger these NPCs, they may stop giving you quests.

It's common for players to provoke NPCs, causing quest chains to break.

Such losses are difficult to make up for.

If this NPC is killed, it will truly and permanently disappear from this player's world, but it will not affect other players.

The above refers to non-special NPCs.

As for special NPCs, they are unique in the entire world, just like real people in the real world. If they die, they are dead in the eyes of all players.

Just after accepting the mission.

A friend request popped up.

Bai Lu has requested to add you as a friend.

"That was pretty fast."

Lu Cang chuckled and accepted the friend request.

As soon as I accepted the friend request, I was bombarded with voice messages!

"elder brother!!!"

"An activation code for an S-rank talent! How did you get it?!"

"This is such a precious thing! How could you let me use it! It's too extravagant!"

"Bro, did you rob a bank?! Did you send me the wrong talent? Was this the talent you were originally going to use? But you accidentally copied it for me! What am I going to do?! I can't switch accounts in the game, so I can't return this talent to you, boohoo~"

Bai Lu originally thought the activation code was for a B-level or A-level talent, as a B-level talent activation code could sell for 1 million on the market.

The Fantasy Realm only has three zones, meaning you only have three chances to create an account. The probability of awakening an A-grade talent is only one in ten thousand, while the probability of awakening a B-grade talent is only 30%.

Most people have E to C level talent.

S-level talents, excluding those activated by activation codes, will appear in a fixed set of 10 people in each region.

Within 24 hours of the server opening in the third region, the owners of the 10 S-level talents will be determined.

Currently, there are only three new servers, and the probability of awakening an A-level talent is actually only 0.01%. Therefore, to ensure a stable outcome, it is worthwhile to spend 1 million to buy a reliable B-level talent activation code.

Bai Lu's idea was simple: even if she didn't gamble on the one in ten thousand chance, getting an activation code for a B-level talent would be good; otherwise, she would likely get an E- to C-level talent randomly, which would be a bit bad.

Of course, if it's an A grade, although it would be painful for her brother, Bai Lu would also be very happy.

However, S-rank... that's a spot that even core members of major guilds are vying for!

Even in professional matches, most battles revolve around a single S-level talent, with the S-level talent being the core strength of a professional team.

With such an S-level talent falling into the hands of a lazy, casual player like herself, how could Bai Lu not panic?

"Don't overthink it, I'm not mistaken, this talent is a gift to you."

Unfortunately, Bai Lu doesn't know how to play the assassin class, which requires extremely high skill.

Otherwise, the SS-level assassin talent activation code could be given to Bai Lu.

Fortunately, Lu Cang already knew from his previous life that every S-level talent had a method for further advancement.

However, this only applies to SS level. As far as we know, there is no way to reach SSS level except through one's own talent.

"Let's go, accept the mission, and go to the farmland to the north to kill wild boars."

"We need to secure the first kill of the first instance in the third region."

Bai Lu hesitated when she saw the message pop up in the chat box: "Brother, did you send this message to the wrong person? Do you have other sisters?"

"We're going to be the first to kill the first instance in Zone 3? Us?"

"Bro, you must have sent the wrong message! How could the two of us possibly get the first kill in the third region? So many big guilds are watching!"

However, as soon as the message was sent, Bai Lu received a reply from her brother: "Do you doubt your brother's abilities?"

"You're now an S-rank talent user. If you're not qualified to compete for the first kill, who is?"

"Besides, I didn't say it was just the two of us."
