Chapter 210 210: Life Is Truly Unpredictable (Second Update)

Of course, players can also choose not to purchase in the Underground City and instead head over to Kain Island for their purchases.By doing so, they can directly purchase according to the plot of land.

These players have all reached High Tier levels in their roles, allowing them to freely enter and exit both Kain Island and the Underground City.

However, the issue is that with the Underground City, it's fine; you can enter and exit at any time.

But for Kain Island, the entrance and exit are only opened at fixed times, and this window doesn't last very long each time.

If they rush over and the timing isn't right, they'll have to wait there for quite a while.

Even if the timing is right, not mentioning the time wasted on the road, once they enter Kain Island, they'll still have to wait for the next designated time to leave and return to the Underground City.

Kain Island is a place for newbies; for these seasoned High Tier players, it obviously no longer holds much value.

After all, there aren't any lucrative mining tasks on Kain Island like in the Underground City.

And they aren't dual-class players who have magic research tasks to do.

As for combat techniques research tasks... Although researching combat techniques isn't as dangerous as magic, it's actually in some sense harder to study.

Combat techniques involve the use of Battle Energy (Death Energy); creating a combat technique isn't all that difficult, the hard part is developing a valuable one.

And it must be unprecedented; if it's a known technique by Fang Ka, it won't be acknowledged.

This is completely different from researching magic.

Although magic is dangerous, it can be continually explored, and experience and knowledge can somewhat make up for a lack of talent.

But to come up with a formidable and unprecedented combat technique, it's purely reliant on combat talent.

What's it like?

Magic is like having countless ingredients laid before you to create a delicious dish. There's a risk of food poisoning, but as long as it doesn't kill you, with constant attempts, something can be concocted.

Combat techniques are like being presented with just one ingredient, and you have to create something fancy and delicious out of it, and it must be unprecedented, something no one has made before.

With this, players have actually seen through it and treat the combat technique tasks as if they don't exist.

And Fang Ka issuing combat technique tasks to players is purely a case of casting a wide net to catch more fish—whether it yields results or not, cast the net first.

Regarding combat techniques, he actually has more faith in Noel, as Noel, being a native, not only understands Battle Energy better but also has a combat talent that can only be described as monstrous.

Therefore, all the players sensibly decided not to consider selecting land on Kain Island.

After all, even if it's a bit expensive per square meter, they can easily gather the funds among so many of them.

After Lu Yun's group followed that merfolk to pick their base, the Chubby Orange Cat also gathered with a group of players.

The Chubby Orange Cat is from the Night Demon race; among this wave of players, there aren't many who evolved into Night Demons, only 19, and counting the Chubby Orange Cat, it makes exactly 20 people.

Chubby Orange Cat, being a veteran player among them, always had a good rapport, so it was only logical for him to be elected as the Legion Commander.

Earlier, Lu Yun had asked pretty much all the questions he had, so the Chubby Orange Cat didn't have much to ask.

He directly said, "Mage Fang Ka, we're planning to select a place for our base as well."

Upon hearing this, Fang Ka immediately instructed Tina to assign a merfolk to accompany the Chubby Orange Cat and others to their chosen base.

Next was the Caged Parrot, who belongs to the Blood Nightmare race; among the other players, there are 19 who evolved into the Blood Nightmare race, making a total of 20 including her.

However, the elected Legion Commander was not her but a player with the platform nickname 'Gloomy Face'.

It seemed she knew very well that she didn't have the capability to command or lead, so she chose someone more suitable among the other players.

Subsequently, Fang Ka also arranged for a merfolk to accompany them to select their base.

As for the other scattered ones, they basically haven't gathered enough to make a group of ten yet.

It's worth mentioning that among this group of players, aside from Shadow, Lord Xu, and Chatty, these three dual-class players who 100% remained in their skeleton forms without change,

there is also a single-class player who maintained the skeleton form unchanged.

The likelihood of single-class players evolving into Netherworld Undead Creatures is very high, while maintaining the original skeleton form is extremely low, but not zero.

And now this point has been proven.

At this moment, Shadow, Lord Xu, and Chatty were struggling over this single-class skeleton player.

Chatty sneaked a glance at that single-class skeleton player in the distance: "Life is truly unpredictable. I was almost sure that only us dual-class players were not eligible for skins."

"But who would've thought that a 'Cheng Yaojin' would suddenly appear, a single-class player still in skeleton form without a skin?"

"It's just baffling; this directly shatters my conviction, making my hard evidence fall through."

"Now I'm a bit confused if us maintaining the skeleton form without acquiring a skin is just plain bad luck on our end?"

Lord Xu rubbed his forehead: "Alas, even if it's bad luck, it can't be that coincidental, right? Grandpa Qian of Bone-Touching and Mr. Zhou, along with us three, are all dual-class players."

"And now we've all maintained the skeleton form without getting a new skin. How could all the bad luck fall solely on us dual-class players?"

Shadow glanced at the two: "It doesn't matter."

Chatty glanced at Shadow, looking at him somewhat complexly: "Honestly, old Shadow, players like you who don't care about appearance are really the panda of the player community."

Shadow diverted his gaze: "In competitive games, the base skin is fine as long as you're skilled."

"Old Shadow, can't you speak a bit more without being so laconic? But I really admire you." Chatty raised a thumb:

"I just can't tolerate the base skin. Back when I played competitive games, I had to have at least one skin for each hero."

Lord Xu turned his gaze towards that somewhat solitary single-class skeleton player, and then said, "Regardless, a non-dual-class, non-épique maintaining the skeleton form is still one of us."

"Though not a dual-class player, we can invite him into the legion in the future as there's a sense of kindred spirit."

Chatty grinned wide: "Shall I go over and break the ice?"

Lord Xu nodded: "Mm, your easygoing nature suits you well, go on."

"What's 'easygoing'?" Chatty gave a thumbs up to himself: "This is called being outgoing!"
