Each skill cost 1,000, which was a rip-off, but Fatty was too lazy to bother with Sallip about this. He immediately tossed out 5,000 gold coins and learned all five skills.
Perhaps if he had returned to Black Tortoise City to get this enhancement, the mission could have been much easier and the cost to learn skills much cheaper. However, this little benefit couldn’t outweigh the loss of one usage of the Teleportation Token.
Exiting the Class Enhancement Hall, Fatty went to the Alchemy Shop to replenish his supplies, which had become pure cost. Originally, he could sell the trashy equipment to the NPC store for some pocket change, but now they were all fed to the Elemental Skill Book. Fatty sighed, wondering when he could finally fill up this bottomless pit of a book.
“Let’s go.” After he was done restocking, Fatty summoned Wheat and put the Brutal Saddle on the extremely displeased rodent. And ta-da, he still got a great mount.
While a Unicorn was hard to get, Fatty would need the Brutal Saddle to make use of such a mount. This was akin to wasting a special tool to him. This time, Fatty had set his goal on the Unicorn pack. Aside from getting their horns for the mission, he also wanted to truly capture a Unicorn as his pet.
Scampering to the Cloud Ocean once again, Fatty had to spend even more time on the road than the last trip. Bored, Fatty opened the communicator to tittle-tattle with his friends. And so, he heard this news.
The first in-game competition – First Under Heaven Tournament – was about to begin.
Generally, this kind of competition was inevitable in every game. Not only would it hype the game up, but it also provided a platform where the players could interact more actively. Moreover, tournaments were considered a resounding and effective way to advertise the game.
When the players’ levels were low, a tournament like this wouldn’t be exciting enough to watch. However, now that the average level was 40 and the number of players had reached a certain amount, Star Fantasia finally decided to hold a tournament.
The First Under Heaven Tournament was divided into two categories: individual and guild. There was no requirement except for the level limitation being at least 40. If a player hadn’t reached level 40 by now, they’d be embarrassing themselves if they participated anyway.
At the moment, the developer had only leaked the news that the tournament was about to open. As for the details, only the registration time had been announced for now, which started at twelve noon, three days later. The enrollment period would last for three days.
“Everyone do your best. We can definitely achieve a good rank.” This was what Liu Lan told the members of Misty Waterfall.
“Everyone must grasp your time to farm. Avoid PK-ing as much as possible. Even if you do, you must be the one winning, not dying. Keep your level for the tournament!” These were Jiangdong’s LittleOverlord’s words.
“Competition? It’s but a type of open public PK. You guys only need to pay some attention. But if our guild can’t take a good rank, humph!” This was East Gate BlowingWind.
“We, guild category, first rank!” declared Fierce Dragon TheTalent.
Due to the approaching First Under Heaven Tournament, an upsurge in grinding for levels spread amongst the players. Even those with a love for PK couldn’t help but keep their desires in check and prepare themselves for the competition. As for the guilds, their higher-ups had begun a large-scale dispatch to recruit the top rank experts that were still guildless.
“Just you wait. You’re definitely going to be contacted by a bunch of people,” said Rosethorn with a charming smile. She was the first to reach out to Fatty. “To save you from unnecessary disturbance, I sincerely advise you to consider our alliance. As long as you join us, the treatment will certainly be to your satisfaction. I won’t stop you from leaving after the competition ends. That is, if you can still bear to part with us by then.”
“This… I’ll think about it.” Fatty hung up and kept running toward the Cloud Ocean.
Indeed, just after a few steps, Liu Lan and the others’ messages began to flood in, inviting Fatty to join their guilds. However, Fatty decided to hold from giving a definite answer. He only said that he would consider it.
“Fatty, if you have time for the competition, join us. We rogues can participate altogether.” Fatty found HeadofGod’s message very tempting. Regarding overall strength, the guilds were much more powerful than God Familia. But in small group duels where each team had the same amount of players, Fatty couldn’t think of any guild that could assemble a team to match God Familia.
Moreover, Fatty very much approved of God Familia’s conduct. Despite the limited times they had cooperated, he had continued to maintain a good relationship with them.
“Alright. If I ever partake in the tournament, I’ll definitely join God Familia,” replied Fatty.
“Hahaha, I knew you would choose us.” TheFugitive popped out. “You can just do your farming without worry. When we register for the tournament, we’ll include your name. And about that LittleLi’s FlyingDagger, he’s your disciple right? If he’s still guildless by then, we can pull him in. We rogues will sweep through all the guilds together.”
“Haha, alright!” Fatty laughed heartily.
