Everyone's playing as a roguelike, starting with an extra Mythical Relic.

As soon as Chu Yang merged with his profession, three portals of light appeared in the square.

At that moment, the small gate spoke up, saying, "The gate domain barrier has been opened. Please choose a gate to enter."

Chu Yang glanced at the timer on the panel and found that there were still more than twenty minutes left before an hour had passed. Instead of rushing to open the door, he tentatively activated the [Shield Blessing] skill.

Immediately after he merged the class template, he seemed to instantly understand how to use the skills.

He pressed down with one hand in a hand seal, and a semi-transparent light shield appeared, enveloping his entire body.

He promptly opened his character panel and found a small shield appearing behind his health bar, with a shield value of 100.

Originally, this shield was a temporary shield that could only last for 5 seconds, but because of the relic [Final Barrier], the shield became permanent!

"It really works!"

Chu Bai was very excited to see this, because it meant that he could stack shields infinitely before facing danger, and as long as he did not encounter a monster that could break through the shields, he would be invincible.

All of this was because of a single relic.

"As expected of a top-tier relic, it's insane!"

In the following period, as soon as the cooldown of [Shield Blessing] was over, he would immediately release the skill.

As a side note, your health and sanity will slowly recover when you are not in combat.

Although the recovery is slow, it's perfectly fine to maintain a single cycle of casting the [Shield Blessing] skill.

Thus, the length of the shield value following his health bar slowly began to exceed his health bar, and it continued to grow longer.

During this time, Chu Yang asked Xiao Men many questions about the character panel, thus obtaining a lot of new information.

For example, each race has racial talents. The human race's racial talent can increase the probability of skill evolution, and the evolved skill will be more powerful.

As your job level increases, each job will unlock new job talents.

There is also a character skill bar. The first four are the initial skills of the Shield Guard class. These four skills can be replaced by universal skill books in the Gate Domain.

As for the skills of dodging and blocking, they are basic skills that everyone has and cannot be replaced.

……

More than ten minutes later, Chu Yang's shield value had reached 2500, which was more than five times his health.

Only then did he walk to the three gates of light.

Each of the three light gates has an Arabic numeral 1 suspended above it, and a skull pattern on its surface.

The difference lies in the fact that the icon below each skull is different.

Below the skull icon on the left is a pile of gold coins, the middle icon is a block-shaped object engraved with strange symbols, and the right icon is the word "EXP".

When Chu Yang inquired, Xiao Men explained: "A skull indicates that this is a simple combat gate, one of the most common gate types in the gate domain."

"The icons below represent the rewards after passing through the doors. The left door rewards money, the middle door rewards runes, and the right door rewards experience points."

This is really starting to resemble a game, and a roguelike one at that...

Chu Yang understood the concepts of money and experience points, so he asked, "What are runes?"

Xiao Men replied, "Each skill and basic attack can be equipped with three runes, which can enhance the effects of skills and basic attacks."

Chu Yang nodded slightly upon hearing this, then asked, "What can money be used for in the sect's domain?"

Xiao Mendao said, "It has many uses; you'll naturally understand when you encounter it."

Of the three rewards before him, Chu Yang was most curious about the runes.

So he chose the central door of light.

Chu Yang waited until the last minute, and only after stacking the shield value to 4100 did he push open the door and walk into the central portal.

The gentle white light engulfed Chu Yang.

When the white light disappeared, he found himself in a dense mountain forest.

"[Orc Race - Tier 1 Gate Domain] (1/10)"

"Mission: Avoid the hounds and successfully reach the safe zone."

"Customs clearance time: 2 hours"

As soon as the mission was announced, Chu Yang noticed that there were two other people not far from him!

Chu Yang glanced at the weapons in the two men's hands and immediately confirmed that they, like himself, were humans who had fused with professional templates.

The man and woman were both very young, just like Chu Yang. The man was clearly a greatsword wielding swords in both hands, while the woman had an open magic book floating in her left hand, indicating she was a fire mage.

The three of them tacitly approached each other and briefly introduced themselves.

The greatswordsman's name is Wang Jie. He is a fit and powerful fitness instructor. The fire mage's name is Li Lili. She looks delicate and is a recent college graduate.

At first, Li Lili was quite afraid of this unfamiliar environment, but she calmed down a lot after meeting the two men.

In particular, Wang Jie, who was burly and wielding a greatsword, gave her a great sense of security.

Li Lili moved closer to Wang Jie, seemingly unintentionally, and said, "Let's hurry to the safe zone!"

Wang Jie nodded and said, "Yes, the map shows there are three safe zones. The eastern safe zone seems to be the closest. Shall we go to this safe zone?"

Three safe zones are marked on the system's map, located in the east, west, and south directions respectively.

Li Lili had no objection and nodded in agreement.

Chu Yang suddenly spoke up, "Why don't you all head east together, and I'll go west alone?"

Upon hearing this, Li Lili said, "You should come with us. It would be dangerous for you if you encountered the kobolds alone."

Wang Jie also said, "Yes, it's better to be together so we can look out for each other."

Chu Yang shook his head again: "Since there are three safe zones on the map, it might be better to split up. Besides, the mission is for us to avoid being hunted, so it might be safer for me to go alone."

Seeing that Chu Yang was determined to go alone, Wang Jie and Li Lili stopped trying to dissuade him.

After watching the two leave to the east, Chu Yang immediately called out from the small gate.

"Little Gate, since this is a simple combat gate, it shouldn't be too difficult, right?"

"No comment."

"Is there any extra reward for killing the kobolds?"

"Yes, killing alien races within the gate will grant experience points, a small amount of gold coins, and will also affect the final mission evaluation."

Upon hearing this, Chu Yang revealed an expression that said, "I knew it."

This realm is really similar to the game...

Besides this reason, Chu Yang also wanted to test his combat power after fusing with the profession, and at the same time familiarize himself with the combat style of this profession.

Wang Jie and Li Lili should attract a group of monsters away. As for the remaining monsters, they shouldn't be able to break through my defenses...

Chu Yang glanced at his shield value, which had already reached 4500, and thought to himself with great relief.

About ten minutes later, the sounds of barking dogs and running horses suddenly rang out in the mountains and forests.

Upon hearing this, Wang Jie and Li Lili sped up their escape to the east.

As for Chu Yang, he hid behind a large tree, releasing [Shield Blessing] every half minute.

Suddenly, two barks came from his left and right sides. Chu Yang calmly raised his shield and activated the [Parry] skill to one side.
