Chapter 298: 146: Isn't choosing the tallest standard for Bai Chuan?
Xinkui spoke up,
"I am a Mutator, Teacher Jiang, you know that."
Being addressed as a teacher made Zhou Baiyu feel somewhat awkward. Mutators were not much use to him, but since Xinkui had shared hardships with him, he would try to look after her more.
In a surge of love, I faced five:
"I... I am a Summoner and currently only master the Ice Seal Curse."
Mage.
Zhou Baiyu still remembered the last mage, powerful even though he was only first-rank.
"With such a name, speak up a bit. In theory, the game only starts after we enter that door. Every game has a safehouse setting. The apocalypse only begins once we leave the safehouse."
Zhou Baiyu could see that this In a surge of love, I faced five was somewhat timid despite his tall stature.
The vanguard identity of For Love's Charge was an ordinary worker; after the apocalypse had descended, he had been gathering supplies, occasionally using the transportation channels that humanity had established during version 1.05 to transport some goods.
However, later events convinced him of his girlfriend's infidelity, so he crossed the distance of three refuges on foot for three days, avoiding countless corrupt beings, and maneuvered around the high walls of refuges.
It could be called an apocalyptic version of a lone heroic ride through a thousand miles, although he was a mage, he was solidly muscular, and after everyone transformed into cartoons, his silhouette exuded the aura of a powerful man in Hong Kong comics,
Only he did not expect that after being "possessed" by a real-world persona, he would become so much more timid.
Zhou Baiyu looked toward Sima Kaoyu.
The vanguard identity of Sima Kaoyu seemed to be a chef, skilled at cooking grilled fish. Many saw this identity as starting in a hell...
But in fact, the delicacies created by culinary skills were luxury items in the apocalypse; when you controlled the means of producing luxury goods, you could live very comfortably in the apocalypse.
Sima Kaoyu straightened his chef's hat, proud of his profession—a profession rarer and more noble than that of a Voyeur—and declared,
"I am a Time Spirit, a first-rank Time Spirit."
Zhou Baiyu nodded, noting the other's pride:
"Is this your second time participating in the recruitment?"
"Yeah, the first was the preliminary trial, then I joined the guild. I think the Baichuan guild is pretty good, better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix, so I came to the Baichuan Refuge Guild." Sima Kaoyu was quite pleased with himself.
Zhou Baiyu could sense that as a Time Spirit, this man was no longer just proud, but arrogant.
Who gave you the courage to be the "head of the chicken"?
His words seemed to assume that other members of the Baichuan guild were inferior except for Guang Tongchen, who was the only one worth noticing.
And deemed it inferior to other guilds.
However, Zhou Baiyu had experienced too much by now and was able to keep his emotions from showing:
"An inheritor of the Time and Space God, indeed not bad."
Apparently worried that Jiang Xianwu, such an influential person, might not realize his own importance, Sima Kaoyu added,
"I can now make time slow down while remaining unaffected myself, making everything seem very slow to me."
During the conversation, Sima Kaoyu glanced at Xinkui.
Although he definitely acknowledged Jiang Xianwu, given Jiang's continuous SSS ratings, he obviously had significant skills.
Yet, as one of the top professions, he still looked down upon the lowest, hence his glance at Mutator Xinkui.
"That's great, you will definitely be very useful," Zhou Baiyu casually chimed in.
Then he turned to the last person, Key Walks Askew.
"Death Cursing."
Key Walks Askew was quite cold.
"This is my first time encountering this profession; can you tell me about it?" Zhou Baiyu asked without any arrogance.
This gave Key Walks Askew a slightly better impression.
Every day in the vanguard, someone would die, and someone would be selected as a new vanguard.
Key Walks Askew and Sima Kaoyu were newcomers.
Therefore, their initial feeling toward Jiang Xianwu was dislike, due to his unique physique.
Only after gradually learning about Jiang Xianwu's past did their dislike slowly dissipate.
But they didn't grow to like him as much as other seasoned vanguards did.
For instance, the most coveted person wasn't Guang Tongchen's knife but Jiang Xianwu himself, to be less "confused."
Key Walks Askew explained,
"It's the health bar. A first-rank Death Cursing can force an opponent to have a separate health bar, which is a different concept from the target's actual health. Some targets are heavily armored and thick-skinned, nearly impossible to kill, but if the health bar created by the Death Cursing zeroes out, the opponent will instantly die regardless of how much health they have left."
Like the old saying goes, even a god can be killed if you dare display a health bar to the players.
Zhou Baiyu suddenly felt... Death Cursing was also a very powerful profession.
Key Walks Askew's predecessor, Rider of the Great Wind, was also a Death Cursing, only he was second-rank.
"They are all worthy of grooming, but their personalities need polishing," Zhou Baiyu thought to himself.
He hadn't expected that the Baichuan guild could still recruit rare professions like Death Cursing and Time Spirit.
Life and time, these are two very powerful concepts.
But he soon frowned, troubled by other matters.
Seeing Jiang Xianwu with a serious expression, For Love's Charge spoke,
"Big... boss, what do we do now? Should we open that door? My task is to survive for a certain period of time, but there doesn't seem to be a timer here."
