Online Games: From Professional Gold Farmer to Night King

After washing up, Wang Xing installed the helmet and plugged in the power and network connectors.

Lying in bed, I slowly put on my helmet.

...

A wave of drowsiness washed over him, and when Wang Xing opened his eyes again, he was no longer in his rented room, but in an ancient and solemn hall.

A holographic female NPC appeared before Wang Xing, looking at him with a professional smile. "Welcome, player Wang Xing. Please enter your game ID."

"Seven Stars".

The name already exists.

"Feng Qingyang".

The name already exists.

"Night!"

[Darkness is an option; is the ID confirmed to be "Darkness"?]

"Sure."

Please select a class.

As the NPC finished speaking, the six statues in the hall, which had been petrified, suddenly came to life.

Each statue transformed into Wang Xing's likeness, but the aura emanating from them and the equipment they wore were completely incomparable to Wang Xing at this moment.

A warrior wielding a giant blade, exuding an imposing aura.

A mage holding a staff, surrounded by various elements.

A priest holding a magic wand, dressed in a priest's robe, his body enveloped in golden light.

A thief shrouded in shadow, wielding a dagger, exuding a fierce and murderous aura.

The archer, bow and arrow in hand, his cloak billowing even without wind, his eyes sharp as if he could see through everything.

And a summoner wielding a long staff, accompanied by a giant wolf.

On the way back, Wang Xing had already learned some information about the game, and he was most interested in the choice of the six major professions.

Since Wang Xing wants to become a professional gold farmer, the most important thing is his "solo farming" ability.

Of the six classes, excluding the priest, only three require the least investment and are suitable for casual players: the rogue, the archer, and the summoner.

Although both are melee classes, rogues possess burst damage and control skills. Furthermore, rogues primarily focus on agility, granting them extremely high speed, critical hit rate, and evasion. With proper skill, soloing is not a major issue.

As for warriors, although they have high health, high defense, and high attack power, they also have a huge drawback: they are too slow, making them easy targets for monsters when fighting.

Without the support of equipment and health potions, soloing is just a pipe dream.

The same applies to mages. Without good equipment, they might not even have enough money for basic potions, let alone soloing.

In this way, it seems that the only suitable class for Wang Xing is a summoner who can fight in melee, fight at range, or specialize in summoning!

The summoner in the Spirit Realm is quite unique. It is not a mage-type branch class like in traditional online games, but rather a combination of warrior and mage.

The weapon is a club, which can be upgraded with strength. You are the main attacker, and your summoned beasts provide support, allowing you to fight monsters with almost no damage.

You can also summon beasts as the main attacker and yourself as the support, and still defeat monsters without taking damage.

Another option is the ranged build, which focuses on intelligence. This allows for strong damage output from both skills and summoned beasts, sometimes even exceeding the damage of a mage when combined. However, the drawback is that it relies heavily on a team.

Therefore, Wang Xing can only choose summoners who allocate points to strength and spirit.

Besides all of the above, Wang Xing has another reason for choosing the Summoner class: the Summoner's exclusive weapon, the staff!

Wang Xing began learning traditional martial arts from his father at the age of 8, and started practicing the "Subduing Demons Staff Technique" at the age of 10. He has been practicing for eleven years now.

Therefore, when Wang Xing heard the two people at the noodle shop mention that the Summoner's weapon was a stick, he had already made his choice.

"I choose Summoner!"

[Career selection successful, currently undergoing random talent selection...]

Congratulations to the player for obtaining the Black-tier talent "Night Raven"!

...

[You have been assigned to beginner village number 9527. Enter the game...]

...

A flash of white light, and when vision returned, the ancient hall was no longer in front of him, but a small village full of ancient charm.

The village was bustling with people, and everywhere you looked, you could see busy players.

"Level 5 Iron Sword, the top choice for warriors, only costs 1 silver coin!"

"We're one short for the Wild Boar quest, need a front-line warrior!"

"Any class can team up to farm wolves for 5 hours straight, Summoners, get out!"

"..."

Listening to the shouts and calls of the players around him, Wang Xing seemed to be stirred by the atmosphere, and his long-dormant passion seemed to be rekindled.

"panel."

As Wang Xing silently recited the command, a transparent panel appeared in front of him.

(PS: This is a more detailed introduction to the attributes the first time; it won't be repeated here.)

...

There weren't many other attributes, as Wang Xing, who already had a certain amount of information, was already very familiar with them.

However, looking at the two "Black Level" words in his talent bar, he was a little confused.

"Black level? I remember the information said that talents are divided into six levels: white, green, blue, purple, red, and gold. When did a black level appear? Is it a system bug?"

The idea only lasted for a moment before Wang Xing rejected it.

"Impossible! Spirit Realm is a world-class game jointly developed by over 100 countries, including the Dragon Kingdom, the Free Kingdom, the Sunset Kingdom, the Bear Kingdom, the Cherry Blossom Kingdom, and the West Kingdom. Such a low-level bug shouldn't exist. If it's not a bug, then it means that talents surpassing even the gold rank truly exist in the game!"

The thought that his talent might be even greater than Jin's made Wang Xing's breathing quicken instantly.

Although he only had a little understanding of it, Wang Xing was very clear about how important talent was to players.

A player with a gold talent can defeat, or even completely crush, players with white or blue talents, even if their equipment is slightly inferior.

That's the power of talent!

Seeing the words "Summon quantity increases by 1 for every level increase" attached to the summoning skill, Wang Xing was even more eager to see just how powerful his talent was.

"Accept the quest first, then go kill the monsters!"
