Chapter 884 - 836: Encountering Junxiang’s Alt
Da Fei stepped forward to speak with the Knight Master, who responded with a routine answer: "Warrior, what can I do for you? I’m afraid I have nothing left to teach you."
If Da Fei hadn’t triggered any relevant information, this NPC master’s response might always be just that one sentence. However, Da Fei did trigger some information.
So Da Fei asked, "Excuse me, Master, do you know any information about the Heavenly Destiny Knight?"
Sure enough, the NPC master reacted, surprised: "Of course, the Heavenly Destiny Knight is a knight with exceptionally good luck, also known as a warrior blessed by the gods. As for combat power, it is actually not necessarily stronger than a regular knight, but luck is something—you know! Unfortunately, you’re no longer a knight."
Da Fei hurriedly asked, "So how does one advance to a Heavenly Destiny Knight?"
The master shook his head: "The specific method to advance is not known to the Knight Order. However, in the history of the Holy Court, a few Heavenly Destiny Knights have indeed been born, but even they didn’t know how they advanced—it’s all due to luck. Of course, even luck has common patterns, which include needing a Master Knight Professional Level, Master Leadership Skill, and Master-level Luck Skill to possibly achieve a Beginner Destiny Knight. I say possibly!"
"Moreover, a Beginner Destiny Knight cannot continue to upgrade by spending skill points. You must also upgrade the Knight profession level or Leadership Skill level to Grandmaster to advance to an Intermediate Destiny Knight. If both are upgraded to Grandmaster, then you become an Advanced Destiny Knight. However, even upon reaching Advanced Destiny Knight, the relevant literature of the Knight Order and Holy Court do not note any extraordinary feats of a Heavenly Destiny Knight."
Da Fei’s eyebrow twitched: "What if you upgrade to Expert Level or Master Level?"
The master sighed and shook his head: "Then you must upgrade one of the Knight, Leadership, or Luck Skills to God-level. Unfortunately, all recorded Heavenly Destiny Knights have exhausted their lifetime’s wisdom and effort but found no way to reach the God-level realm, so we can’t know the mysteries beyond Expert Level."
—System Prompt: You have gained information about the Heavenly Destiny Knight and obtained the "Promotion Notes of a Heavenly Destiny Knight"!
Da Fei’s eyebrow twitched again, a promotion note? Da Fei quickly checked his inventory and indeed found a letter!
—"Promotion Notes of a Heavenly Destiny Knight": Once a player has a Master Knight Professional Level, Master Leadership Skill, and Master-level Luck Skill, using this note gives a very small chance of successfully advancing to a Heavenly Destiny Knight. Note: This note can be further perfected by collecting information about Heavenly Destiny Knights. A more complete note increases the likelihood of successfully advancing to a Heavenly Destiny Knight.
Da Fei’s eyebrow twitched wildly!
Oh my gosh! Back then, I got the "Junior Navigator Promotion Notes" and the "Master-level Dark Magic Notes" from Makar and then the "God-level Destruction Technique Notes" from Deirdre’s cheap mentor, Flame Demon Siriel, during the Pool of Radiance battle. I always thought these notes were something only NPCs could have, who would have thought—not only do I have one, I have reached this level too!
The master continued: "Alright, if you want to know more about the Heavenly Destiny Knight, you can go to the Holy Library to read the literature. But entering the Holy Library requires a very high reputation value and merit points. You can quickly gain merit points with the Holy Court by donating a large amount of wealth. In short, this is all I can tell you. Keep pushing forward."
"Thank you for your guidance!"
So that’s it! The thresholds for learned skills (profession) and employment skills are definitely different. The starting point for self-taught skills is quite high—looking down from above. For example, this Heavenly Destiny Knight is available after mastering the God-level Luck Skill. In reality, obtaining the position doesn’t require reaching such a high God-level threshold.
Similarly, the Navigator sub-skill "Sailing Training" was truly comprehended upon mastering the God-level Navigation Skill, but under normal circumstances, learning just requires reaching Grandmaster level.
In other words, looking down from the commanding heights of God-level skills, even without the "Knight" profession, one can still receive information prompts. On a broader scale, if all my skills were God-level, who knows how many random and weird professions like the Heavenly Destiny Knight I could combine?
Even if those professions reach their limit and cannot be learned, I could transfer them to my alternate characters or sell them—equally amazing!
When it comes to combined professions, Da Fei suddenly thought of his World Guardian profession from Gru’s inheritance. This profession can be split into three parts, each part being a complete profession. What does this show? Professions can split and merge!
Just like Uriel’s fusion of the Angel’s Holy Body with the Flame Resistance, resulting in the new skill of Holy Flame Body. There’s no fundamental difference between skill fusion and profession fusion!
Essentially, I might also combine a heap of random professions on my body to create a whole new profession, freeing up my learning potential. I’m far from reaching the limit!
I understand now, my path is still long! And before merging professions, I must proficiently master each one. The Archbishop is right: first, learn every last confusing profession at least to the master level.
Da Fei, enlightened and elated, exhaled deeply.
And just as Da Fei was about to head to the backyard, he suddenly noticed the entire Knight Order, inside and out, was crowded with onlookers!
Da Fei was stunned! What’s happening? Eavesdropping? Impossible, unless it’s an Angel Leader making a big commotion; player and NPC chats are usually one-on-one—no one else can eavesdrop, right? Could they be here just to watch? Damn, it’s not the first time they’ve seen me.
Da Fei cleared his throat: "Please make way, everyone! Don’t hinder others from learning skills or taking quests!"
At this moment, someone from the crowd stepped forward and said, "Brother Fei, are you heading to Divine Punishment City? Can you take us along?"
In just that instant, the previously noisy and bustling Knight Order hall fell into silence. Da Fei’s jaw dropped!
Who did Brother see? Junxiang! It’s Brother’s alt! Oh dear! Is it my sister or Little Fang’s wife on this account? You guys seriously lack online gaming common sense, don’t you? Normally, with someone like you, who would pay attention to you! Especially someone like Brother, a world-class expert, who would directly brush it off!
At the same time, the suddenly silent watching hall made Da Fei feel the atmosphere was even more eerie. As Da Fei scanned the room, instead of saying all eyes were on himself, it was better to say most of the attention was on Junxiang. Especially a few players behind Junxiang, with quite impressive gear, looked both expectant and worried, their expressions complex and tangled.
Da Fei’s eyebrow twitched. Could it be that my sister and the others have managed Brother’s alt so well that it’s famous around here? Damn, of course, it’s hard not to become famous with Bloodrose Guild backing you up! This means that everyone here wants to see if he can rise and get some strategies from Brother. If Brother just dismisses them or ignores them, then Brother’s Junxiang account won’t have any face here and it’s gonna have a hard time, right?
Well, there’s no helping it, being a big brother is tough! But Brother really can’t lead them, and if Brother acts too friendly, it would be too fake, right? Is Brother that kind of person? What if Brother is such a person and everyone blocks the way asking for strategies, can Brother still walk the streets?
Just at this moment, Da Fei’s sweeping gaze noticed a proud figure leaning against the doorpost at the back of the crowd, indifferent to the spectators — obviously indifferent, because his name is "Ouling, Vice Hero of Junxiang"!
Da Fei can confirm, this Ouling definitely has some Divine Artifact with Angel Possession or something, his identity is indeed extraordinary! Anyway, there’s a way.
Da Fei pointed outside the door at the vice hero, then patted Junxiang’s shoulder and said indifferently, "Is that your vice hero?"
Da Fei spoke! At this moment, the whole room was stirred with a small commotion of excitement.
Junxiang was dazed for a moment, turned around to look and then came back excitedly, "Yes! That’s my vice hero!"
Da Fei let out an "Oh": "Is it the one who took down the Beastman lair with a few hundred minions?"
Junxiang was pleasantly surprised, "Even Brother Fei knows?"
Would Brother tell you that Brother has always been playing single-player games, and even if the sky falls, Brother might not know?
Da Fei let out an "Oh": "It’s hard not to know. Brother always thought his vice hero was the most awesome. Anyway, start with Epic Hero as the minimum, and just mingle with him. Brother’s Divine Punishment City quest was also achieved through a vice hero. Brother can only help you this much." After saying so, he gracefully turned and walked into the Knight Order’s backyard.
At this moment, the entire hall erupted: "Big Brother-in-law got advice from Brother Fei!"
"Big Brother-in-law’s hero is at least Epic Level?"
"Isn’t that obvious? Big Brother-in-law, take me with you in the future, I’ll be satisfied just being an outer team member!"
At this moment, Da Fei’s hair stood on end! Who’s Big Brother-in-law? Oh dear, is it possibly Brother’s Junxiang alt? How can it have such a disgusting nickname?
Without thinking much more, Da Fei arrived at the courtyard’s Teleportation Array, and with a flash of light, reached Divine Punishment City.
At this time, Blood Arrow Fragrance scurried over to Da Fei and gave a deep bow, "Thank you, Brother Fei. I’m really sorry for earlier, I was dual-boxing my brother’s account, and my friends didn’t want to miss the chance to talk to Brother Fei but didn’t dare to approach, so they asked me to speak, really sorry!"
Oh dear! What do you mean by my brother my brother, can you tell Brother if you’re Little Fang or Little Li? Little Li doesn’t speak as smoothly as you, right? But it seems Brother’s alt is doing pretty well.
Da Fei just smiled lightly, "It’s nothing, firstly for Bloodrose Guild’s sake, secondly Brother is in a good mood, thirdly, the exaggerated performance of your vice hero did leave an impression on Brother."
Blood Arrow Fragrance was delighted, "Thank you, Brother Fei, actually we don’t have much time to study that vice hero, with Brother Fei’s pointers, we will definitely study it well."
Da Fei smiled, "Good luck!"
Bloodrose Rosa also approached with a smile, "Thank you, Brother Fei, for giving our guild face! Also, thanks for arranging things for us to do, it seems the reputation in the blacksmith shop rises much faster."
Da Fei laughed, "Now we’re working sincerely together, there’s no need to mention these trivial things."
Bloodrose Rosa smiled, "Exactly, exactly, alright, we won’t disturb Brother Fei, we’re heading back to work."
"Alright, alright."
Just then, Da Fei’s friend notification chimed. Surprised, Da Fei looked and it was indeed Bloodrose Rosa!
"Brother Fei, there’s an unusual player movement at Elorin, please take note."
