The buff is permanent, and you start the game with a fountain of water.

With a sigh, Huan Cheng asked leisurely, "How many times more experience do you gain to level up compared to ordinary players?"

"Four times!" Yunxi said proudly.

The difficulty of leveling up is directly proportional to the strength of the profession, and the four times the experience is extremely rare even among special professions. Yunxi has something to be proud of.

"I want ten times that amount!"

Huan Cheng, with a bitter face, poured out all seven punishments of the Heavenly Sin.

"Can anyone truly master a skill entirely through self-discovery?"

"My luck stat is always set at 1, I'm practically destined to be a lone wolf."

"Playing a game with 100% pain level? Can you believe it?"

……

Hearing Huan Cheng's barrage of complaints, Yun Xi suddenly fell silent.

"What's wrong?" Noticing Yunxi's unusual behavior, Huan Cheng put down his chopsticks and asked with some concern.

She glanced at Huan Cheng with a complicated expression, and slowly said, "Do you know how much pain I'm in?"

"How many?"

"Fifty percent."

"Are you crazy?" Huan Cheng exclaimed in shock. "Why would a young lady like you set the pain level so high? Do sword dancers have pain level requirements too?"

"This has nothing to do with profession." After a pause, Yunxi continued, "In fact, it's not just me; a large number of people set their pain level to 50% when they enter the game."

"If it weren't for system limitations, this number would be 100%!"

Huan Cheng sat down again, his brows furrowed. Even if he was slow to realize things, he would have noticed something was wrong by now.

Why?

Yunxi slowly shook her head: "I don't know."

"I don't know?"

"All I know is that, including our Yun family, many scions of wealthy families have to set their pain level to the highest 50% when entering the Divine Realm. Quite a few good-for-nothing descendants have already been severely punished by their families for violating these rules!"

After a pause, Yunxi pursed her lips and lowered her voice, saying, "I've heard that the authorities also select elites to enter the Divine Realm, and they all have a pain level of 50%."

"Official?" Huan Cheng raised an eyebrow, greatly shocked.

The "official" that Yunxi mentioned was clearly not just the game's official representative.

"Why is that? Is it just to gain more power in the Divine Realm?" Huan Cheng was very puzzled.

"I don't know." Yunxi slowly shook her head, then pointed to the top of her head. "I heard that it means 'the top.'"

After they finished speaking, neither of them said anything, and the atmosphere became somewhat somber.

"So, you were fighting with 50% pain level the whole time?" After a moment, Huan Cheng broke the silence first.

"right!"

Huan Cheng was shocked and couldn't help but ask, "Are all you scions of powerful families this strong?"

Yunxi chuckled, her beautiful eyes narrowing into slits, unable to contain her amusement: "Of course not, countless good-for-nothings have been pampered to the point of crying for their parents. My little brother is still stuck in the newbie village because of this."

"Then you..." Huan Cheng looked at Yun Xi, hesitating to speak.

Yunxi smiled proudly, slightly raising her head to reveal her snow-white neck: "Do you think I've honed my swordsmanship for twenty years in vain? Let me tell you the truth, among all the talented people in the capital, I am the best in the Divine Realm!"

"Heroine, you are mighty!"

Huan Cheng clasped his hands in a fist salute, offering a timely compliment.

Seeing Huan Cheng's reaction, Yun Xi immediately deflated, looking at him helplessly: "Of course, I can't compare to you, the number one person in the Divine Realm!"

She deliberately emphasized the word "first," giving the impression of gritted teeth.

Huan Cheng was overjoyed upon hearing this, and the food in front of him tasted even better.

Before long, a middle-aged man arrived at the restaurant. After looking around, he went straight to Yunxi, bowing his head and saying, "Miss!"

"You're here. Shall we grab something to eat?" Yunxi nodded slightly, her expression indifferent, and pointed to the empty seat next to her, speaking in a very formulaic tone.

"No, I have some mundane matters to attend to." The middle-aged man shook his head repeatedly, declining Yunxi's invitation.

Yunxi didn't stand on ceremony and said to Huan Cheng, "This is the man with hidden wealth, the logistics manager of the Yun Family Guild. You can give him all the things."

After saying that, he secretly added, "The price will be calculated at the highest market price. There's no need to save money for those old guys."

With a warm smile, Xiu Li Cang Jin ignored the "old guys" Yun Xi had mentioned and extended his hand to Huan Cheng, saying, "Hello, Xiu Li Cang Jin!"

"Riding the wind!"

"Riding the wind?!"

The hand that had been extended from the hidden pocket froze, and the smile on his face stiffened.

Realizing what was happening, he turned around swiftly, his eyes fixed on Yun Xi.

Yunxi pouted and focused on the delicacies on the table, completely ignoring the gleaming gaze hidden in her sleeve.

Turning around, regaining his composure, he looked at Huan Cheng with eager anticipation, his sleeve concealing gold: "Great God Chengfeng, would you be interested in joining our Cloud Dragon Guild?"

Yunxi frowned slightly and tapped the table: "Alright, can you even afford to hire them before you invite them?"

"I'm sorry, I don't plan to join a guild at the moment." Huan Cheng smiled apologetically and politely declined.

Sleeves Hidden Gold was clearly disappointed, but he quickly composed himself and said with a smile, "Since Mr. Chengfeng is Miss's friend, we will definitely offer you the most favorable price!"

As the head of logistics, Xiu Lizangjin's professional skills are beyond doubt. With just a glance, he was able to estimate the approximate price of this batch of equipment.

After thinking for a moment, he raised the price by another 20% from his target price and said with a hidden glimpse of gold in his sleeve, "This batch of equipment is just right for the current player level. According to the market price, it's worth about 1.8 million."

"Sir, you're Miss's friend. How about we round it up to two million?"

Huan Cheng shook his head: "Let's keep it at 180."

Upon hearing this, Xiu Li Cang Jin paused for a moment, glanced at Yun Xi subconsciously, and then realized, "Alright, then we'll do as Mr. Cheng Feng says!"

Huan Cheng had also estimated the price of this batch of equipment; 180 was already a bit too high, and it would never reach 2 million.

Having completed the transaction, Jin, with a glint of something unusual in his eyes, glanced at Yun Xi and Huan Cheng, a slight smile playing on his lips: "I wish Mr. and Miss Chengfeng a pleasant meal!"

After saying that, he left without waiting for their reaction.

"What are your plans for the future?"

Feeling uncomfortable with the sly smile, Huan Cheng subconsciously tried to start a conversation.

"Grind monsters to level up and hone your sword intent."

Yunxi sighed and looked at Huan Cheng with some regret: "I was planning to team up with you to fight monsters, but I can't handle your ridiculously bad status effects."

Huan Cheng shrugged, unable to offer any help.

"You seem unwilling for me to join the Cloud Dragon Guild?" After hesitating for a moment, Huan Cheng still asked the question.

He had assumed that Yunxi would invite him to join the association on behalf of the Yun family, but judging from Yunxi's behavior just now, it seemed that this was not the case.

Yunxi waved her hand irritably: "Big families, all about scheming and backstabbing, you know what I mean!"

Huan Cheng fell silent and stopped dwelling on the topic.

"what?"

After eating and drinking their fill, just as they were about to leave, Yunxi suddenly exclaimed in surprise.

"What's wrong?"

"Quick, check the forum! Big news!"

Upon hearing this, Huan Cheng opened the forum, and the first thing he saw was his post about his dominance. Then, the title of the next post made his heart skip a beat.

[Breaking News! Talents Can Be Upgraded, Upgrade Path Included!]

Upon opening it, I discovered that the author was an old acquaintance, [God Realm Encyclopedia].

"In the Divine Realm, the importance of talent is beyond doubt. The most reasonable assumption is that Chengfeng, the number one player in the Divine Realm, was able to defeat the Fierce Tiger Guild single-handedly in the early stages of the game, which means he possesses an extremely extraordinary talent!"

Unexpectedly, he was tagged here, but Huan Cheng patiently continued reading.

"According to absolutely reliable intelligence, talents in the Divine Realm can be upgraded; even trash talents have the potential to grow into god-level talents, and we have discovered some pathways for talent upgrades!!!"
