43: Each person's talent
Although Hu Beiyu had revealed and boasted about his talent many times, it seemed he was trying to show off in front of his idol.
But he had never considered revealing it so thoroughly...
However, after looking at the two's talents, both were SS-rank, not much worse than his own!
It didn't seem like a loss for him to show off his talent too, right?
While Hu Beiyu was thinking, Xu Shian started chatting with An Xixi.
"Xixi! About that last time we fought the BOSS... you were holding back, weren't you?"
"It was our first time meeting, I just didn't know everyone well! Isn't that why I'm apologizing now?"
Xu Shian was speechless. Your way of apologizing is quite unique, isn't it?
But overall, the current situation was acceptable!
If they were really going to form a team, having a rough understanding of the teammates was very necessary.
It was understandable for temporary teammates to hide things!
But if a long-term team did this, it would be hard to say!
The talent Xu Shian made up for himself included all the points that were particularly easy to expose, focusing on a critical hit effect.
Critical hit on manufacturing effects, critical hit on the number of Contract Pets, critical hit on production quantity, and he even had two more skill slots than others...
While the two were chatting, Hu Beiyu also looked troubled; many things could actually be guessed by everyone.
But guessing is one thing, what's with you exposing yourself right from the start?
"Xixi, what are you doing? Sorry, Beiyu, don't pay attention to her, she's a bit confused from sleeping today..."
At the critical moment, Sister Lili was reliable as always, lightly easing Hu Beiyu's awkwardness.
Unfortunately, it wouldn't have mattered if only An Xixi had exposed herself, but the problem was that Xu Shian had also followed suit and exposed himself.
It made it hard for her to smooth things over!
An Xixi's self-exposure was something the mother and daughter had discussed; on one hand, she had been slacking off the whole time last time, so everyone didn't really know her strength.
If she wanted to be in a long-term team with strong people, without strength, she would end up like Chen Jie, eliminated in the first round.
Of course, it wouldn't be impossible for An Xixi to just rely on her looks to get by in the team, but in that case, her position would become increasingly awkward...
Therefore, appropriately showing her strength was necessary!
"It's mainly because everyone is about to form a fixed team, and Xixi was afraid that everyone would find out her strength is completely different from the last time we fought the BOSS, so she thought it would be better to just tell everyone to avoid misunderstandings!"
Xu Shian was rolling his eyes in his heart...
Since they were just passing acquaintances, it was normal to have some secrets! However, with An Xixi's talent, it was worth forming a long-term team.
She was pretty and had a good talent! Even if Sister Lili's strength was a bit lacking, it wouldn't affect the overall situation.
"Xixi's talent... it looks more suitable for a Summoner, doesn't it?"
Hearing Xu Shian talk about her talent, An Xixi got excited again and immediately joined the discussion with enthusiasm.
"We've researched it ourselves; this Death Mark needs skill attacks to stack, but Summoners have too few attack skills... and for a long time, there are no new attack skills..."
"Your idea... is also correct!"
"Also, I read the analysis post from the [Jianghu Encyclopedia], and the 'Contract Summoning' skill really has big problems... although there are many other types of summoning skills later! But in the early stages, it's really hard for a Summoner to get by!"
Sigh, speaking of this, it's all tears!
I am the victim!
Xu Shian had to admit that, in a sense, this skill was quite a pitfall!
Seeing that his idol had already exposed her talent, Hu Beiyu thought about it; there didn't seem to be anything to hide about his Class talent either.
For him, wherever he went, he would be a target for big teams to recruit...
In such a small team, there were already two SS-ranks, so hanging out here as a founding member didn't seem bad at all!
And so...
【Talent: Immortal Bulwark】 (SS-rank)
My shield is the boundary between life and death.
Every successful defense (block, parry, dodge) will grant one layer of 【Bulwark Power】, and 【Bulwark Power】 will gradually Vanish after the battle ends.
【Skill 1】: Bulwark Field (Passive)
Effect: You will gain a 50% fixed damage reduction;
【Skill 2】: Damage Siphon (Active Skill)
Effect: Consume 30 layers of 【Bulwark Power】 to activate the skill, gaining an additional 20% damage reduction; within 8 seconds, you will transfer 50% of the damage taken by all teammates within 20 yards of yourself to yourself. When damage is transferred to yourself, it is additionally affected by your own Bulwark Field!
【Skill 3】: Absolute Protection (Active Skill)
Effect: Consume ten points of Bulwark Power, designate a teammate, and establish an indestructible protective connection with them, lasting 8 seconds.
During the duration, the teammate will not be affected by any control skills, and 99% of the damage taken by the teammate will be borne by you! When damage is transferred to yourself, it is additionally affected by your own Bulwark Field!
【Skill 4】: Immortal Stance (Active Skill)
Effect: Trigger all Bulwark Power to enter an absolute defense stance. (Each layer of Bulwark Power can maintain one second of Immortal Stance.)
Immortal Stance: Reduce 99% damage, and force enemies within thirty meters to attack you.
Come! You bastards, face me!
...
Very good, I am extremely satisfied with our small team now... I must pull these two unreasonably strong young people into my camp.
There are many battles and various tough fights to be fought in the future.
Without a fixed team of one's own, life won't be easy!
Seeing that everyone had revealed their talents, Liu Lili realized!
Since it was her daughter who started it, she couldn't hide things anymore!
She could only helplessly post her own talent in the team channel.
【Talent: Windfall】 (A-rank)
Hey, I haven't opened my Lucky Treasure Chest today yet!
【Skill 1】: Windfall (Welfare Skill)
A normal Lucky Treasure Chest refreshes in your backpack at midnight every day.

【Skill 3】: Synthesize Treasure Chest (Active)
Effect: Every ten low-level treasure chests can be synthesized into one higher-level Lucky Treasure Chest!
...
The group in the team was silent again.
This talent looks amazing at first glance, why is it only A-rank?
After looking closely, it really can only be A-rank!
It's a pretty good talent, it just feels like it's lacking a little bit everywhere!
"Sister Lili, your talent... what a pity!"
Liu Lili didn't care.
"It's fine! I'm satisfied just having an A-rank talent!"
"It's pretty good, contentment brings happiness..."
Not to mention that Liu Lili still had a decent A-rank talent, she was also An Xixi's own mother.
Even if it were an F-rank talent, she would still be the team's pet...
Xu Shian was also reflecting on himself; he had a bit of cunning, but he used it all on his own people...
Everything was ready, and the group crossed the Boar Forest and entered a vast plain.
