Chapter 65 Chapter 65 Level Breakthrough
As for how she knew the breakthrough method, it all started when she went to the library to borrow books this morning.
Perhaps it was because players rarely actually read books in the game, or perhaps her reading efficiency was quite high. After she entered the library for the third time, completed the book return assessment, and asked to borrow new books, the elf's favorability towards her increased rapidly.
The direct manifestation of the improved favorability is that the little guy's attitude towards her has become much more enthusiastic. He is willing to say more when introducing books to her. He even complains in front of her without hesitation about many poor students who only think of going to the library before exams and have a bad attitude towards learning.
Well, this is an elf who loves reading and can’t stand students slacking off. No wonder he is a book spirit.
Tang Li learned a lot of school gossip from the elf, and also realized that students from all worlds like to cram before exams.
Watching the elf's complaints with such amusement, she also recalled her school days. Out of curiosity, she asked, "What are the exams like in school?"
It couldn't be math, physics, or chemistry. Could it be magical theory, combat practice, potions, or something like that? Thinking of the Western fantasy novels she'd read, she made wild guesses.
"Of course it's the professional level assessment," the elf said, looking very surprised by Tang Li's "lack of knowledge." She seemed like a studious witch, but how could she not know such common sense? "I'm surprised. Your magic power has clearly reached the peak of an apprentice magician, so why haven't you signed up for the assessment? I guess you don't know."
After the elf's introduction, she learned that levels 0-20 were apprentice magicians, 21-40 were junior magicians, and so on. The maximum level was 180, the God of Magic.
Players can go to the academy or relevant professional union to take the professional level test every twenty levels. After passing the test, the adventurer will be awarded a certification of the corresponding level.
Players can continue to upgrade after completing the assessment.
In addition to professional levels, secondary professions also have similar assessment standards.
The assessment content is not difficult. The elf said that the assessment for apprentice magicians is to reach the peak of the elementary level of magic power (level 20) and instantly cast five elementary magic spells (five skills with full proficiency). Once completed, they can get certification.
"Is it that simple?" Li Zi and others in the conference room were in disbelief.
"Yes, it's that simple." Tang Li nodded heavily. Who would have thought that the level breakthrough that had stumped most players was actually so simple? She also felt incredible when she heard the answer.
"I didn't expect that professional unions would have this function." Hebi said with emotion. Before, everyone regarded these unions as places to buy skills and accept tasks.
The problem is that some of the skill books in the guild are sold in grocery stores, and the prices are even cheaper. In addition, there are players' own trading of monster drops, and the goblin auction house that specializes in auctioning rare skill books. The professional guilds are too replaceable. The key is that the attitude of the staff in them is not good.
The same principle applies to accepting quests. The Novice Village and the Adventurer's Guild have more quests and richer rewards. Of course, no one wants to face the faces of those arrogant old men and women in the professional guilds and accept quests where the rewards are better than nothing.
As time went by, people rarely went to professional guilds. Therefore, after so long, players did not realize that the professional guilds they ignored were still responsible for issuing professional certifications.
"It's only natural for a group of honest professionals engaged in academic research to be squeezed out by commercial capital like grocery stores and the Adventurer's Association." The finance major couldn't help but mourn for these poor unions.
"Ahem, it's not good for games to be too realistic." Several leaders of the secondary professional departments who also like to immerse themselves in research have already felt the same way.
Qingtuan sorted through the meeting minutes in his hand, his capitalist smile on his face revealing his true nature: "The game isn't that cruel to these unions. The professional certification qualifications are enough for them to survive."
"Indeed." Everyone was convinced.
The topic continued to return to professional certification, and he pointed to the assessment conditions as an example: "This assessment requirement is easy to achieve as long as you have the full level."
"Magic Continent" requires a lot of experience points for each level up. Apart from the new players who took advantage of the event to quickly level up, and the indispensable players who win by doing nothing and spend money on games, anyone who reaches level 20 on their own will have a few max-level skills.
Although the low difficulty reduces a lot of trouble, it also means that most players will not get stuck, and it will become more difficult for them to maintain their level advantage.
"There are quite a few players in our gang who have reached level 20. With so many people, it's hard to keep the news secret. Furthermore, the assessment requirements are not difficult. If other players knew about it, they would quickly catch up with our progress. So, instead of leveling up slowly, I think it would be better to organize the gang players to complete the assessment all at once. We can keep it secret if we can, but it doesn't matter if we can't. Our pioneering team has recently discovered many places suitable for leveling up from level 20 to 30."
He looked at the gang leaders, unable to express his feelings. The core members of the gang were all under their leadership. They had more say in matters related to the hierarchy of gang members. "What do you think?"
"I think we should be cautious. With so many of us acting together, others can just ask around and find out that we went to the professional union. Isn't that equivalent to giving them the answer directly?" God's Hand frowned. He felt that this was too high-profile. He would prefer that everyone take the assessment in batches in a low-key manner. This way, it would take the other party some time to investigate.
It took them so long to figure out how to break through the levels, so I feel a little unwilling to just give it away like that.
"I agree more with Brother Ju's approach," Suiyue Ruge yawned and slumped down in the chair. "So many people are watching the level leaderboards now. If someone breaks through level 20, there's no way they can keep a low profile. Then everyone else will know what's going on once they check on the person who broke through."
Benming Mantou also nodded: "I also think that instead of taking it slow, it would be better to take advantage of this time difference to let all the brothers in the gang level up and put an end to it once and for all."
Several other team leaders also expressed their opinions, and the vast majority of them agreed to lead the members to complete the assessment breakthrough in one go.
"Let's do it this way," said the inexpressible person, nodding, "Leaders, please organize it."
"receive!"
After the meeting, everyone left in a hurry.
During the event, several regiment leaders seemed to be very busy. Now they were all dressed in sophisticated equipment. Almost everyone had a Pegasus Fairy, and there was even a little dragon beside the Hand of God.
It was hard for Tang Li not to show an expression of envy and jealousy.
What's so great about that? In order to show that he is sociable, Tang Li summoned Xirang as well.
Pegasus, fairies, and dragons are good, but slimes are not bad either.
She squatted down and touched Xirang's cute little head, then rubbed it hard. Tang Li squinted her eyes happily.
As soon as he came out of the meeting room, he saw her squatting in the yard with her eyes lowered and a faint smile on her face. Although he didn't know why she was happy, seeing the smile on her face, his heart couldn't help but fly. He couldn't help but walk over and extend his hand to invite her, "Let's go to the professional union together?"
He didn't notice that his voice was much softer than in the meeting.
Tang Li discovered that she was still a voice control person, and reached out her hand as if bewitched.
Juger Lizi, who was about to leave the conference room, stopped in his tracks when he saw this scene. He quickly pulled the confused Lizi and Hebi Duoyan towards the other door of the conference room.
"Huh? What's going on? I wanted to invite Xiaoli to go to the professional union together?" After leaving the meeting room, Li Zi was full of questions.
"Brother Ci, just come with me. I have something to ask you guys." For example, he made up an excuse and dragged the two of them away.
"What's going on?" Li Zi and He Bi Duoyan thought each other was a little strange. "Is there anything more urgent than going to the trade union right now?"
"Is this Brother Ci's lifelong event?" Why bother to say so much shocking words.
What greeted him were looks of admiration and shock.
On the other side...
"Let's go to the trade union together?"
Well, the man’s hands were big, warm and hard, completely different from a girl’s hands. Tang Li withdrew her hand, feeling a little embarrassed after realizing it belatedly.
Her rich experience does not include emotion.
She is not good at dealing with emotions, whether it is family, friendship or... love?
To ease the awkwardness, she nodded calmly, "Sure. Where are Li Zi and the others? I'll go get them."
As she spoke, she silently took a detour, trying to avoid the inability to express herself and go back.
He couldn't express his feelings clearly and grabbed her hand.
...Tang Li's brain froze, and she didn't know how to deal with this situation.
Dead brain, think quickly, don’t make the atmosphere awkward!
Sure enough, emotions are her lifelong enemy.
She simply couldn't handle such a situation.
Fortunately, the hand that was stretched out was quickly withdrawn as soon as the words failed to express the owner's meaning. It was obvious that the owner also realized his abruptness.
"...No need to wait for them," he said, glancing at his hands uncomfortably. Tang Li, who was standing far away, didn't notice, but he had already noticed their little movements. "They have something to take care of, so let's go first."
"Oh? So that's the case. Let's go then." Tang Li didn't ask him how he knew that. She nodded in a daze and followed him forward in a daze.
There was no guild settled in their camp yet, and the teleportation array leading to other places in the camp was not open. Fortunately, they had bought a lot of return tickets to Silver Town beforehand, so it was very convenient for them to go back.
After tearing up the return ticket, the two soon stood in the familiar outskirts of Baiyin Town.
The sudden appearance of the figure scared away the slimes lying leisurely on the grass. Led by Xirang, who was jumping around, the two walked silently into the city.
Tang Li could be considered a homebody to some extent. She was not good at expressing herself and was not a very talkative person either. The two of them walked all the way to the familiar square of Baiyin Town in such a weird atmosphere.
"Well, we're here. I'm leaving first." Seeing the trade union just ahead, Tang Li breathed a sigh of relief with her eyes wide open. After nodding in agreement without being able to express herself clearly, she couldn't wait to part with him.
Unable to express himself clearly, he silently watched the girl's back as she left, feeling extremely frustrated.
It seemed like he had messed up.
Tang Li didn't know how Ci Bu De Yi felt at the moment. Although she couldn't do anything about her emotions, she was broad-minded enough. Within two minutes of leaving the scene, she had put Ci Bu De Yi behind her and was full of desire to complete the assessment.
Walking from the bustling square into the deserted association hall, Tang Li paid at the front desk and then walked to the second floor of the association under the guidance of the staff.
A full ten gold coins, no refund if you fail the assessment.
How many steamed buns do I have to sell to afford the exam? After a second of silence for my wallet, Tang Li was led by the staff into a room full of books and potions.
The person in charge of the examination was an elderly woman in a long robe. She was very aloof. She looked up at Tang Li with a cold glance and announced directly, "Begin. Cast instant magic within ten minutes. Five passes, the more the better."
The more the better?
According to the routine of the game, the better you perform, the higher the reward you get.
There is no way she would miss such a good thing!
Tang Li suddenly became energetic.
A day ago, she might not have had the confidence to get a high score, thanks to last night's server-wide BOSS.
With her amazing magic recovery speed and the help of recovery potions, after six hours of using the Starlight Shield, she had maxed out the proficiency of seven or eight skills in one night.
Now is her time to show her skills.
"Is it right here?" Before using the skill, Tang Li looked at the books and bottles and jars in the room worriedly.
These things looked quite expensive, and she wasn't sure if she could afford to pay for them if they were destroyed.
No, it’s not a question of whether I can afford the compensation. Why are there so many obstacles in a room used for assessment?
Could it be that they were deliberately trying to scam the candidates into paying compensation?
Hmm, these unions clearly don't have much business, but they're all over the world. Could that be how they make their money?
What to do? The more she thought about it, the more it made sense. Was it too late for her to run now?
"This is fine," the old lady's cold tone interrupted Tang Li's wild thoughts. "I can handle the trainee mage's tricks."
Tang Li was stunned by the old lady's bossy aura and thought, since that's the case, then come on.
Magic bullet!
Explosive impact!
…
She quickly unleashed familiar skills one after another, but they were easily extinguished by the old lady a second before they landed.
He is indeed very capable.
No wonder the old lady said that the apprentice wizard's attack was just a trick. Seeing how relaxed the opponent was, Tang Li felt the oppression brought by the overwhelming strength for the first time in the game.
The gap is too big.
Tang Li, who originally thought that she had good skills, suddenly became calm and humble.
"Okay." Less than 5 minutes had passed after all the skills were demonstrated. Tang Li blinked and looked at the old lady expectantly.
The boss is so powerful, the reward shouldn’t be too bad.
The old lady nodded, went back to the desk, quickly wrote a receipt, and handed it to Tang Li.
What else? What else? Tang Li took it and continued to look at the old lady. The old lady also looked at Tang Li. Neither of them spoke for a while.
"Why are you looking at me?" Finally, the old lady lost her patience and asked first.
"Um, reward?"
"What reward?" The old lady raised an eyebrow. "Do you think you'll get a reward just because you know a few more spells than the passing grade? What gave you this illusion? As a shallow apprentice, mastering more knowledge is what you should have. How dare you expect a reward?"
If we change this a little, isn't this what many teachers in her previous life would say to their students?
Before she had superpowers, she was not that outstanding. This sentence was a psychological shadow of her student days.
There was no reward for exceeding the task, so Tang Li was not discouraged. But now, because of the old lady's words, she was completely discouraged.
It turns out that teachers are so scary no matter which world they are from!
Tang Li staggered out of the guild. The players were very discerning and she would never come to the guild again unless it was necessary.
It's so depressing.
The damn magic continent always does this kind of evil things in such unexpected corners.
However, the upgrade is still very nice.
Seeing her level instantly soar to level 23, Tang Li smiled happily.
After passing the professional level test, Tang Li also took the junior pharmacist test. With her inheritance and her pharmacy skills that were far ahead of the current players, she soon obtained the certification.
It’s a pity that there is no special test for basic life skills such as cooking, otherwise I would get another one.
"Li Zi Li Zi, do you want to go kill monsters?" People are in high spirits when they are happy, and she is now full of energy.
