Jiang Kai still obtained two talents.
[Third-rank Fate Puppeteer class talent, Playing with Fate and All Living Beings: A Fate Puppeteer possesses keen insight and control over life, gaining one "feigned death" state. After suffering fatal damage, the Fate Puppeteer's body may disintegrate, and can also reconstruct and revive within 30 seconds.]
[After revival, enter the "revenge" state, stamina remains at 1%, strength and agility increase by 100%. The revenge state lasts 10 seconds, after which strength and agility return to normal, while stamina remains at 1%. The feigned death state can only be activated once every 10 days.]
[Random talent, Great Strength: Strength attribute increased by 40%.]
"Kai team, this feigned death state of yours… keeping only 1% stamina, doesn't that make you a tofu, dying from a touch?" Ruan Yu widened her eyes and said.
Jiang Kai frowned, "Yeah, only leaving me 1% stamina. What revenge am I supposed to get… This Fate Puppeteer really doesn't seem like any serious class."
"I have this explosive temper, can't they give me a straight-up head-on talent!"
Playing with Fate and All Living Beings was a bit strange, Jiang Kai still couldn't figure it out.
The Great Strength attribute was average, not as good as many skills, but for Jiang Kai, who had extremely high attributes, it could be considered an above-average talent.
Second rank to third rank advancement—in general, others' basic attributes only increased 100%, but Jiang Kai's increased by 200%.
Moreover, this was only Jiang Kai's basic attribute. If including the two main god cards' 60% boost to all attributes, Great Strength's 40% strength increase, and Great Agility's 40% agility increase—calculated altogether, Jiang Kai's four core attributes were actually terrifying.
After third rank, with equipment included, Jiang Kai's four basic attributes were respectively: strength 2452, physique 2020, agility 4160, and mental power 2924!
For other fourth-rank classes, take the Soldier King as example, just after class change, excluding those with top-tier talents—even with full equipment—the strongest attribute rarely exceeded 2000 points.
Jiang Kai, even during third rank, had already reached over 2000 points in his lowest attribute—physique! Agility even exceeded 4000 points!
"Attributes are decent, but the talents are kind of trash." Jiang Kai complained.
Then he went to ask about Ruan Yu's situation.
After learning Ruan Yu was now an Immortal Drunkard, Jiang Kai couldn't help exclaiming, "So fierce!"
He and Hu Yan were still that gambler and feng shui master, while Ruan Yu was becoming more and more like a combat class!
But anyway, being able to successfully change class this time, Jiang Kai felt quite satisfied.
Hu Yan suddenly said, "Kai team, we must learn a lesson from this!"
"What lesson?" Jiang Kai asked in confusion.
Hu Yan said seriously, "The potential of the Drunkard class has now emerged, but only the three of us know. When we get back, Ruan Yu absolutely must not take action."
"At that time, we'll hoard supplies like crazy, and the guild will start recruiting Drunkard class members in large numbers!"
Jiang Kai and Ruan Yu both widened their eyes. As expected of Hu the half-immortal—if he didn't say it, they'd have forgotten this matter.
"But, ordinary Drunkards don't seem easy to promote to fourth rank either." Ruan Yu frowned again. "As for hoarding, people were already sweeping the market earlier. It's hard for me to even buy brewing materials now."
Jiang Kai also nodded, "Even if the class is the same, strength can vary greatly. Not everyone is like Ruan Yu."
Hu Yan remained enthusiastic, "Kai team, doesn't matter! We'll select those with good talents, recruit them first, and if it doesn't work, Ruan Yu and I can level them up."
"Our guild will grow, and we won't have to get bullied by Xuanwu anymore!"
Jiang Kai nodded, "Makes sense…"
Ruan Yu scratched her head, "If you're going that route, might as well directly negotiate with the Drunkard guild. Most guilds don't want Drunkards anyway. Though things have gotten better recently, many Drunkards still go unwanted."
"Ruan Yu, you're from the Drunkard guild, you go talk to them!" Hu Yan said.
"Mm, okay."
After finalizing the development strategy for the main god guild, the three members of the Fire God squad rested for a day and immediately began hunting the fugitive Tiger Spirits.
They wiped out all the warrior-class and elite-class Tiger Spirits.
These Tiger Spirits had indeed fused with spirit essences, but their fusion wouldn't produce top-tier spirit essences—only increase the spirit essence's age.
After consuming the spirit essences, Jiang Kai leveled up to third rank level 6, and Ruan Yu reached fourth rank level 4.
And the Fire God squad had now stayed in the Fairy Trace Valley for nearly three months.
Jiang Kai thought for a bit, deciding to temporarily leave the Fairy Trace Valley and return to the main city.
"You two can stay here and keep leveling." Jiang Kai said, "I've got things to take care of back there, can't stay here any longer."
"Kai team, I'll go with you." Hu Yan said.
Ruan Yu grabbed Hu Yan, "Old Hu, stay and level with me some more."
Hu Yan shivered at Ruan Yu's coquettish look.
Jiang Kai smiled slightly, "Old Hu, it's not easy coming in here. Even if repeated grinding makes spirit essence drops decline, it's still faster than leveling outside. You two should stay and level up here first."
"Once Ruan Yu levels up, we'll let old Hu level more later, it's all the same in the end."
Hu Yan said, "Who levels up first doesn't matter. Kai team, I'm just worried you'll run into Xuanwu people alone."
Jiang Kai laughed, "Run into Xuanwu? Even if it's extraordinary-class professions, if I want to run now, I don't think they can do anything about it."
There was one more thing he didn't tell old Hu—this time he was going out precisely to cause trouble for Xuanwu!
"Alright, I'm off. Old Hu, keep an eye on Ruan Yu. Even if her strength has improved, she's still not reliable without someone watching her."
Hu Yan nodded, "Okay, then Kai team, be careful."
......
Jiang Kai came alone to the original entrance.
Interestingly, from Taiping Mountain Road, the entrance to Fairy Trace Valley couldn't be seen—but inside Fairy Trace Valley, the road to Taiping Mountain Road was clearly visible.
Jiang Kai turned to glance at the valley, then looked toward the distant peak.
This hidden map boosted the Fire God squad's strength immensely!
Upon reaching third rank level 1, Jiang Kai had also gained two class skills.
Super Long-Range Shot: increases attack range by 300%! At the same time, in revenge state, increases critical hit rate by 15%!
Life Sense: allows detection of certain clones, stand-ins, and stealth skills via life perception.
Jiang Kai's strength was now completely different from when he had first entered Fairy Trace Valley!
With a cold snort, Jiang Kai turned and looked ahead, lips curving upward as he faced the road ahead, "Xuanwu, this time I'm definitely going to make you lose a chunk of flesh!"
After returning from Taiping Mountain Road, Jiang Kai noticed the safety zone seal had been lifted, and teams could still be seen moving between the safety zone and the four major maps.
However, the number of teams in the safety zone was much lower than usual.
Jiang Kai passed through the safety zone and headed to the main city.
In a forested area, someone suddenly whispered to Jiang Kai.
Jiang Kai looked toward the voice and saw a man hiding in the dense woods, excitedly waving at him.
The man looked somewhat familiar, but Jiang Kai couldn't recall where he'd seen him.
The man waved, "Jiang Kai, we've been looking for you for over two months, come quick!"
Jiang Kai walked over, "You are?"
"I'm under President Chen." The man directly said, "The president's been looking for you. We agreed to withdraw from the gambling tournament, and you would buy the slot. But these past two months you've all disappeared. The gambling tournament is about to start, and the president's panicking!"
Jiang Kai smiled slightly. So it was this matter—he had come out precisely for this.
"Chen Chunsheng really is pretty trustworthy. He's afraid I'd hand the wristwatch over to the military, right… Got it. Tonight at 7, you guys withdraw from the match, and I'll purchase the slot."
"By the way, how much does it cost to buy the slot?"
"Not that much." The man said, "200,000 star coins will do."
Actually, the items in Jiang Kai's card pouch right now were worth at least nine figures, maybe even ten figures in star coins.
Jiang Kai slightly frowned, thought for a moment, then angrily said, "That expensive! I'm not paying it. Have Chen Chunsheng send the money over!"
"Uh… got it."
