My incredible luck and the girl I picked up

Melee Priest, as the name suggests, is a melee-focused damage-dealing Priest. Priest builds have always been relatively distinct, including spellcasting, healing, and the least popular melee build.

New players might still play it now, but they'll definitely switch to spell or healing builds later on, because melee builds are too reliant on equipment and skill. While the in-game currency in Oracle isn't entirely useless, it's not very useful either; it's just game currency. All equipment and materials depend on luck or can be bought from the exchange.

Leng Yihan, a melee-focused priest, asserted that this is definitely the class in Oracle that relies most heavily on equipment. Once this type of priest is fully developed, its power can be compared to the melee priest ranked ninth on the God Ranking.

"You want to play... a melee priest?" Leng Yihan asked uncertainly, then saw Xue Yunhuang take out a large club, which was the weapon of a melee priest...

"Yes! I'm going to play a melee priest in the future too!" Seeing Xue Yunhuang's confident look, Leng Yihan didn't say anything more. It was her own decision, and he had no right to interfere.

"Good luck then, I'm off now..."

"Wait a minute!" Leng Yihan stopped in her tracks, turned around and looked at Xue Yunhuang in confusion, wondering if she had anything else to say.

"Um... could you please help me out? I don't know what to do... I'm only level 5 right now..."

“…” Leng Yihan looked at Xue Yunhuang speechlessly, but she didn’t have anything else to do, so it wouldn’t hurt to take her along…

"Okay, no problem, let's add each other as friends and team up first."

Thanks!

After successfully adding Xue Yunhuang as a friend, Leng Yihan opened Xue Yunhuang's profile and glanced at it. The level 5 was dazzling, but Xue Yunhuang was currently in the Moonlight Lake area at level 15-20... Should she call it stupid or what?

"Let's go back to your level 1 starting village first..."

"Huh? I just came from there."

"Then what are you doing here now? Shouldn't you be doing a mission?"

"Yes, I was looking for a medicinal herb, and that's how I ended up here."

"..."

Is this guy completely directionally challenged?!

52. Regarding helping the clueless newbie priest Xue Yunhuang with quests during the early days of the server launch.

"Then, what should we do now?!" Xue Yunhuang asked worriedly. Leng Yihan was speechless for a while, but quickly recovered and pulled Xue Yunhuang back to the starting village on foot. As for why they didn't ride a mount, one of the reasons was that Xue Yunhuang's level was too low to ride one...

"Let's go pick the herbs first. Where can we pick them?" Leng Yihan asked. Xue Yunhuang glanced at the task list and replied, "Hmm... the herbs are near the Jiade Lipu Waterfall. The herb is called Enyou Grass, and it's used to heal injuries..."

"Oh, a ridiculously fake waterfall and a blessing herb, okay, follow me." Leng Yihan casually complained about the homonym of the name Jiade Lipu Waterfall, then opened the mini-map to confirm the coordinates and went straight into the nearby forest, intending to take the shortest route to Jiade Lipu Waterfall. However, he completely forgot about Xue Yunhuang, a low-level player of level 5 with terrible skills.

"Wait for me, Yiwei! It's so dark and scary here!!!" Leng Yihan stopped for the umpteenth time to wait for Xue Yunhuang, who couldn't keep up with him at all. Only then did he realize that it was difficult for a level 5 player to move around in the forest at night, let alone keep up with him. Unless he was highly skilled and familiar with the map, it was basically a pipe dream. But it was obvious that Xue Yunhuang didn't have that skill, so Leng Yihan always ran a little further and Xue Yunhuang couldn't keep up.

“I said… Xue Yunhuang.”

"What? Can't you run slower?"

"How about I carry you over? Otherwise, at your speed, it'll take forever..." Leng Yihan said casually. Of course, he didn't really expect to carry Xue Yunhuang over; it was better to walk slowly.

"sure."

"Huh?! Shouldn't you refuse with a shy look on your face?!"

"Oh, I don't mind at all. After all, it's about improving game efficiency. Come on, carry me over, princess carry~" A few minutes later, Leng Yihan carried Xue Yunhuang and moved quickly through the woods, looking ahead expressionlessly, focusing on getting there, trying her best to ignore the softness in her arms and the silver hair that hit her face in the wind.

"Ugh~ So fast! Can we go any faster with this cuddle?!"

"Putting aside your strange lines, this is the fastest I can move while carrying passengers without tipping over, so don't expect me to be faster."

Leng Yihan said as she ran. Xue Yunhuang was disappointed for a while but didn't insist anymore. She obediently stayed in Leng Yihan's arms until they reached their destination, occasionally looking around to see if there was any beautiful scenery along the way.

"Xue Yunhuang."

"Why? Just call me Yunhuang or Xiaohuang."

How did you end up near Moonlight Lake?

"Huh? Didn't I say I went over there to look for medicinal herbs?"

"Can't you read a map?!"

"Do you have a map?" Hearing Xue Yunhuang's answer, Leng Yihan lost all will to live and stopped talking to Xue Yunhuang. How did you get to Moonlight Lake without a map?

The two continued their journey to Jiade Lipu Waterfall in this awkward atmosphere. Xue Yunhuang knew she had embarrassed herself, so she didn't say anything more along the way. Leng Yihan glanced down and saw her studying the game menu and minimap.

As Leng Yihan shifted her gaze back to the front, she quickly glanced at the mini-map. They were almost at Jiade Lipu Waterfall, about two or three minutes away. Even so, Leng Yihan could still faintly hear a rumbling sound, which became more and more obvious as the two approached.

"Cuddle! We're almost there, right? I've looked at the map, I can read a map now!"

"Why are you only looking at the map now? Stop lowering my expectations of what a newbie can do!" Leng Yihan complained. After another leap, Leng Yihan rushed out of the forest and landed on the open ground near the lake formed by the waterfall.

"So... how do we find the herbs?" After landing, Xue Yunhuang began to think about this question. Leng Yihan sighed and said, "Actually, it's right where you accepted the quest. You just need to ask what the Enyou Grass looks like, and that NPC will show you a picture of the Enyou Grass, how to harvest it, its uses, and where it is abundant. If it weren't for the system, you wouldn't even know that the Enyou Grass is from Jiade Lipu Waterfall."

"Oh, I see... So, should we go back and ask that NPC now?"

“No, I remember where it grows best, and the way we harvest it is just the simplest way of gathering herbs. We just need a little time to find the Grace Grass.” As Leng Yihan answered, she was already searching through the grass near the lake. While searching, she remembered that Xue Yunhuang didn’t know what the Grace Grass looked like, so she thought carefully and described it to her: “Yunhuang, you should look for it too. The Grace Grass looks like a clover, but it has six leaves and it’s blue. It’s usually found in the grass near the lake. Be careful not to step on it and lose it.”

"Okay! I'll look for it now!" Xue Yunhuang squatted down with great enthusiasm and carefully searched for the trace of Enyou Grass in the haystack. Leng Yihan looked for a while and then withdrew her gaze and continued to search for Enyou Grass.

This girl is a bit slow, but she really loves games... A melee-focused, high-damage priest? It would be interesting if she could stick with it.

As Leng Yihan was thinking, she heard Xue Yunhuang exclaim, "Found it! Found it! Is this it, Yiwei!" Hearing this, Leng Yihan stood up in confusion and knelt down next to Xue Yunhuang. Sure enough, there was a Blessing Grass in front of her.

After helping Xue Yunhuang pick the Blessing Grass, Leng Yihan handed it to her and asked, "How many Blessing Grasses do you need in total?"

"Hmm... five plants will be enough."

"Okay, let's keep looking." After saying that, the two squatted back down in the haystack, searching for the Blessing Grass. Leng Yihan's luck was never bad. In less than two minutes, she found the remaining four Blessing Grasses. She looked back at Xue Yunhuang, who was still staring wide-eyed, trying hard to find the shadow of the Blessing Grass in the haystack.

"Alright, alright, all done looking."

"Huh? So fast..." Xue Yunhuang was stunned for a moment before subconsciously taking the blessing grass that Leng Yihan handed her. "Next, we're going back to the village. Do you still want me to carry you?"

"We'll take the main road back from here and won't have to go through the forest anymore, right?!"

“Ah…yes.” Leng Yihan replied honestly, and Xue Yunhuang breathed a sigh of relief and said, “That’s good then. Let’s walk back. At your pace, I can’t even properly appreciate the scenery around me, and…I’ll be shy being carried by a boy…”

"Huh? What did you say?" Leng Yihan asked in confusion. He hadn't heard Xue Yunhuang's last sentence clearly because she spoke too softly. Xue Yunhuang shook her head: "No, nothing."

Although Leng Yihan was puzzled, she did not press the matter further. She got up and helped Xue Yunhuang, who was still squatting, to her feet, and the two embarked on their journey back to the beginner village.

Perhaps because it's already quite late, there aren't many people walking on the main road. But that's normal; the first 10 levels are completed very quickly. Usually, it takes about half an hour to reach level 10 and head to the level 10 main city. Only someone like Xue Yunhuang can push this time back by several hours.

"Wow~ It's so beautiful! You can't see these scenes in the real world!" Along the way, Xue Yunhuang looked around at the beautiful scenery, as if she could never get tired of it. Leng Yihan looked at Xue Yunhuang's expression and seemed to see herself in it. When the game first opened, she was also looking around curiously, but now she was already familiar with it.

Well, I really miss those days.

……

"Oh my god! This is the Oracle game helmet!!!" Leng Yihan looked excitedly at the Oracle special game helmet in her arms, unable to suppress her joy. Although Lin Yin next to her did not have a particularly strong reaction, her sweet smile showed that she was just as happy.

"Thank you, Uncle and Aunt!" Lin Yin thanked Leng Yihan's parents happily while examining the gaming helmet in her hand.

"These are your birthday presents, do you like them?" Leng Yihan's mother asked with a smile, but she didn't need Lin Yin and Leng Yihan to answer. Seeing how much the two of them loved them, the parents smiled knowingly.

"Mom and Dad, thank you so much for giving Lin Yin such a valuable gift."

"Ah! Yes, yes! Thank you, Uncle and Aunt!" When Lin Yin heard Leng Yihan suddenly remember that this thing was not ordinary, she quickly stood up and bowed to show her gratitude.

"Alright, alright, I was just worried you'd be lonely playing by yourself. The closed beta starts tomorrow. Remember, no grades are allowed to drop because of playing games, and Lin Yin is no exception. Otherwise, everything will be confiscated!"

"Okay!"

Leng Yihan and Lin Yin spent their 13th birthdays researching the game helmets of Oracle. The closed beta will officially begin tomorrow at 12:00 noon and last for a month, after which the open beta will be launched to invite more players to enter the world of Oracle.

The two studied the game helmet together until 10:00 PM. Lin Yin only realized it was 10 o'clock when she went to get a drink of water because she was thirsty.

"Ah! It's ten o'clock... I have to go home. My parents must be home by now. I'll come to your house tomorrow, let's play together."

"In that case, would you like to leave the helmet at my house for now? I'll be coming back tomorrow anyway."

Lin Yin naturally chose to leave the game helmet at Leng Yihan's house without hesitation, firstly because Leng Yihan was someone she could trust, and secondly because the game helmet was really heavy.

Should I take you?

"Do not……"

"Don't say you want me to take you home." Leng Yihan jokingly covered Lin Yin's mouth, then got up from the sofa and walked towards the entrance, calling into the room, "Mom and Dad! I'll take Lin Yin home!"

"Okay! Come back soon!" Leng Yihan's mother replied, and Leng Yihan turned and walked towards the entrance, but she didn't see Lin Yin's flushed face.

"You rascal..." Lin Yin muttered under her breath. After grabbing her things, she went to the entrance with her face flushed. Fortunately, the entrance was dimly lit, and Leng Yihan did not notice the redness on Lin Yin's face. After changing her shoes, the two left Leng Yihan's house.

Lin Yin's house was about ten minutes away from Leng Yihan's house. The two chatted about the oracle along the way, and were also looking forward to the official launch of the game tomorrow.

"Hey, Yihan."

"what happened?"

"us……"

……

"Hello? Yiwei?" Hearing a voice calling his name loudly in her ear, Leng Yihan turned her head in confusion. It was Xue Yunhuang: "What happened to you just now? Why didn't you listen when I called you?"

"Ah...sorry, seeing this scene reminded me of some old things from when the server first launched," Leng Yihan said apologetically. She felt a little disrespectful that she hadn't heard others calling her so many times.

"Oh?! Can you tell me about it?"

"Hmm... what kind of thing do you want to hear?" Leng Yihan didn't refuse, but he didn't know what to say. Xue Yunhuang lowered her head and pondered for a while. She quickly decided what she wanted to hear.

"Did you have someone you liked in the past?"

"Huh? Someone you like... This has nothing to do with the game, right?" Leng Yihan smiled wryly upon hearing Xue Yunhuang's question. What kind of nonsense is this?

"No, no, no~" Xue Yunhuang shook her finger and said confidently, "Maybe the person you like is someone you met in the game? Or maybe the person you like comes to the game and plays with you?"

Leng Yihan paused after hearing Xue Yunhuang's words, looking at Xue Yunhuang with a strange expression.

"...Why are you looking at me with such a strange look..."

"No, I just wanted to say why your women's sixth sense is so accurate," Leng Yihan complained, but then she saw Xue Yunhuang's eyes flash and quickly asked, "So, the person you like is someone you met in the game? Or did you fall into the pit with someone you like?"

Um... do all women like gossiping? What's so interesting about asking these things...?

Even so, Leng Yihan still answered: "It was a game we played together back then, but at that time we were just childhood sweethearts who had known each other for more than ten years, not boyfriend and girlfriend. We only recently confirmed it."

"Oh, I see... I was hoping to get some more dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection)."

"Are you trying to imply that you're a dog? We've only just met, don't you think it's inappropriate to ask that?" Leng Yihan asked, narrowing her eyes. Xue Yunhuang thought for a moment and then shook her head: "It's alright."

"Alright, anyway, I told you, and I can choose not to." Leng Yihan didn't expect Xue Yunhuang to do anything; he was just casually making a comment. After that, Xue Yunhuang didn't continue to ask Leng Yihan about matters of the heart. Instead, she honestly asked about some game trivia and some of his personal insights.

Leng Yihan didn't care. Even if he didn't teach her these things, Xue Yunhuang could find someone else to teach her, but she would need some compensation. Leng Yihan would just consider it as teaching her some tips for free. Of course, these were only general tips. He couldn't teach Xue Yunhuang the ones specifically for swordsmen, this person who wanted to play a violent priest...
