Chu Tian took out both the Thief and Sharpshooter classes from the remaining skill books.
He sorted through them, returning duplicates.
He told Heng Dao to have Qi Xi place these skill books into the warehouse.
Anyone in need could exchange them with contribution points.
"Brother Tian, when are we heading to Mount Taihang?" Jian Zhi Cang Tian asked.
Chu Tian considered for a moment and slowly replied, "Probably within these two days!"
"Alright, then we'll prepare ourselves!"
Heng Dao chimed in after hearing Chu Tian's words.
Chu Tian looked at them deeply, "I'm going alone this time!"
Heng Dao: "No way..."
Sheng Guang Hu You Zhe Ni: "How can that be..."
Jian Zhi Cang Tian: "You don't trust us..."
The three said in unison.
Chu Tian paused, but felt a warmth in his heart.
He smiled, then patted Jian Zhi Cang Tian's shoulder, saying, "How could I not trust you? I might not even find the entrance this time."
"I'll go scout it out first. If I find the place, I'll call you over."
Hearing Chu Tian say this, the three knew that Chu Tian would definitely let them follow this time.
Moreover, even if he found the place, he probably wouldn't contact them.
"After Tian Dao enters its rest period, let's go out and have a good meal?"
Jian Zhi Cang Tian suggested as the conversation lulled.
"Sure, but... when you say a 'good meal,' you don't mean just skewers, buffet hot pot, or buffet barbecue, right?"
Chu Tian teased.
"Uh..." Jian Zhi Cang Tian scratched his head and replied awkwardly, "Aren't those considered good?"
Everyone was speechless. Zhao Lei's taste was indeed limited.
Chu Tian bid them farewell and left the guild headquarters.
After coming out, he sent messages to Heng Dao and Jian Zhi Cang Tian respectively.
They contained two sets of coordinates, NPC names, and the method to activate the NPCs.
These two locations were the trigger points for the Shield Warrior's special class, [Steel Guardian], and the Holy Priest's hidden class, [Word of Radiance].
Chu Tian instructed them to try their luck.
He called it trying their luck because Chu Tian knew that in the world of Tian Dao, many adventure quests weren't activated just by knowing the location and going there.
Many prerequisites were needed, or one had to be chosen by the system to receive them.
After giving his instructions, Chu Tian left with peace of mind.
He still had one thing to do. He was level forty-five and should try his luck at that place.
However, he needed to test if the Wishing Casket could be transferred to his clone first.
If it could, he could go without any worries.
It was just that his clone's weak period hadn't ended, so Chu Tian wandered around the city.
He had intended to go to the market district to browse, when the system notification suddenly chimed.
[Ding... System Notification: Incoming call from external communication system, unknown number, accept connection?]
"Accept!" Chu Tian replied.
"Hello..." a sweet, soft female voice came through.
Chu Tian was taken aback. The voice was unfamiliar, yet had a hint of familiarity.
"You... are...?"
Hearing his question, the other party seemed displeased, "Oh... Mr. Busy, you really have a bad memory. I've called you more than ten times, and you finally answered!"
"Lin Yu?" Chu Tian finally remembered. He had been grinding mobs in the Soul Devouring Abyss for days and was a bit disoriented.
Back then, he had only saved Lin Chi's number, so the incoming call displayed as an unknown number.
"Mhm! Mr. Busy, we're leaving Shengjing and wanted to meet you before we go, to give you an IOU!"
"What do you mean?" Chu Tian asked, confused.
"It's about the two million you transferred to me. We won't just take your money."
"If we can still earn enough to live, we will repay you!"
Hearing her say this, Chu Tian smiled.
"That's a bit too disheartening. Where are you planning to go? Oh, by the way, has Tao Jia Yu's matter been settled? How is she now?"
Chu Tian fired off a series of questions.
"Um..." Lin Yu paused.
"What? Is it inconvenient to say?" Chu Tian asked.
Lin Yu replied, "Not exactly. Um... are you playing Tian Dao? What's your ID? Let's chat in the game!"
Her response made Chu Tian even more curious, "Send me your ID. I'm already in the game! I'll add you."
Chu Tian was reluctant to reveal his own ID. Even if he did, Lin Yu probably wouldn't believe it.
"Oh, my ID is: Lin Jian Man Bu Ting Hua Yu"
"Okay, I've added you. Log into the game and accept the verification."
Chu Tian directly added her character name in the friend panel.
This little girl really had a long character name.
If Tian Dao world didn't have a seven-character limit for character names,
It probably wouldn't be enough for her name.
Chu Tian had played many games, and in most of them, character names had a maximum limit of six characters.
[Ding... System Notification: You have applied to add [Lin Jian Man Bu Ting Hua Yu] as a friend. Request accepted!]
The application was accepted right after he hung up the phone.
Lin Jian Man Bu Ting Hua Yu: "????"
Wo Shi Bu De Lu Yi: "It's me, Chu Tian!"
[Ding... System Notification: [Lin Jian Man Bu Ting Hua Yu] is sending you a video call request!]
Upon accepting the video call, Lin Yu's face appeared on the screen.
Her eyes were wide open, looking incredulous.
On either side of her, two heads peeked in.
They were Lin Chi and Lin Ran.
In the world of Tian Dao, character faces had some degree of adjustment.
However, after adding a friend, unless special settings were made, the other party would see your real appearance.
Of course, some vain individuals, or those considered less attractive, would adjust the appearance settings in their friend list to beautify themselves.
Lin Ran: "Holy shit... it really is you!"
Lin Chi: "De... De... Divine De!"
Chu Tian smiled, "Where are you guys? I'll come find you!"
"We're at..." Lin Yu stated the location.
After ending the video call, Chu Tian stepped onto the teleportation array.
He was revisiting an old place.
The location Lin Yu had given him was the Daralssen Basin, where he had once released poisonous water and killed over seven thousand people from the Slaughter Guild.
The water here had receded, and it had returned to its former state as a leveling area.
The three of them were only level nineteen.
It was unclear when they had entered Tian Dao, but their levels were progressing so slowly.
When he reached the vicinity of the coordinates, he saw three people struggling to attack a level twenty monster from a distance.
Their classes were Warrior, Mage, and Priest.
Lin Chi, the eldest brother, played a Arms Warrior.
With a two-handed greatsword, he swung it slowly, hacking at the monster.
The second brother, Lin Ran, was a Mage, and surprisingly played a Fire Mage.
Although Fire Mages were not weak, very few people chose to play them in the early stages.
Fire Mages had the highest skill damage among Mages, but their casting speed was the slowest.
These two brothers, one with the slowest melee attack speed and the other with the slowest casting speed among spellcasters.
Chu Tian felt an urge to help them as he watched them fight monsters; it looked tiring just to watch.
But the most peculiar was Lin Yu, who had chosen a Discipline Priest.
All three of these classes were powerful in the late game, but they were very difficult to play in the early stages.
Discipline Priests were even rarely played in the late game.
It wasn't that Discipline Priests were weak.
On the contrary, they were extremely powerful in the late game.
They were known as the strongest healers in PvP.
Unfortunately...
