Chapter 5
System: [You have accepted the Demon Clan Priest Suifeng's sparring request and will be teleported to the arena in 10 seconds!]
As the system said this, a small box appeared in front of Mu He, showing a 10-second countdown.
Just as the number in the small box jumped to 0, the scenery around Mu He changed and he found himself in a huge arena.
Not far away was Suifeng, who was also pulled into the arena by the system.
Mu He really couldn't figure out how a priest would fight a swordsman in a one-on-one duel.
To put it bluntly, the priest is a profession that serves team battles. It is definitely the least suitable profession for solo in "Yu Ling", no doubt about it.
When Mu He first played a priest, he mixed in with various teams, and he chose attributes that were beneficial to the team, whether it was adding points or equipment.
I didn't expect that the team would bite me back in the end...
Mu He took a deep breath, stopped himself from thinking too much, and tried to focus on Suifeng.
He didn't like to take the initiative to attack, but the opponent was a priest, and he really had no interest in wasting time.
Thinking of ending the battle quickly, he gripped the hilt of his sword tightly and rushed towards Suifeng!
Suifeng waved his wand expressionlessly and fired a fireball at Mu He.
Mu He suddenly jumped up and dodged it easily. When he landed, he rolled on the ground to avoid the second fireball, and did not forget to say coquettishly: "Hey, you can't hit me!"
Suifeng fired several fireballs in succession, but Mu He dodged them all nimbly, and the distance between them kept shortening.
I have to say, after adding all the attribute points to agility, Suifeng's speed becomes very fast.
But he is a priest after all, and has an innate disadvantage in agility. Even if he adds all his attribute points to agility, his speed is still not much faster than Mu He, the swordsman.
So far, none of his attacks have hit Mu He.
Mu He dodged Sui Feng's attacks while approaching him. Seeing him standing there motionless, he was a little surprised. Did this guy want to fight? Was he just looking for an excuse to give him the necklace?
However, just as Mu He approached Suifeng and was about to chop him with a sword, Suifeng swung his staff, accurately blocking his sword and releasing a fireball at the same time.
"Oh my god!" Mu He quickly turned his head. The fireball flew past his face and almost hit him.
If Suifeng had accumulated a lot of hits, maybe this attack would have caused Mu He to lose blood.
Mu He did not retreat. After dodging the fireball, he suddenly lowered his body and attacked Suifeng's lower body with his sword. Unexpectedly, Suifeng blocked it with his magic wand.
Mu He then swung three swords in a row, but they were all successfully blocked by Suifeng.
He had to do a backflip to create distance between himself and Suifeng and unleash his sword technique: Moon Wheel Slash!
A semicircular silver glow "swooshed" towards Suifeng. This was a range skill, so Suifeng couldn't block it.
Mu He originally thought that he would choose to lean forward to avoid it, but he didn't expect that he would just roll forward, avoiding the attack while hitting him with a magic wand!
"Fuck, you're really poisonous!" Mu He blocked his staff with his sword and dodged the fireball that followed. "Since you like melee combat so much, why don't you choose a melee profession?"
Suifeng failed to hurt Mu He again and had to retreat temporarily. Then he said the first sentence he said after entering the arena: "Does it matter what class you play? It's never the class that's bad, it's the person. As long as the person is strong enough, any class can be the best."
"I agree with that." Mu He said, and exchanged two more rounds of hands with Feng. "So why do you say I'm more suitable to play a priest? I just want to play a swordsman!"
Suifeng did not respond. He dealt with Mu He's attacks seriously. Although he could not hurt Mu He, he did not let Mu He hurt him at all.
His expression was serious, as if he was observing something. Suddenly, he retreated and widened the gap between him and Mu He, and said calmly, "Enough, stop fighting."
"Huh?" Mu He was enjoying the fight, but when he heard these words, he was stunned for a moment and almost lost his sword. "What? Are you admitting defeat?"
Suifeng snorted and said disdainfully, "You, a swordsman, have been fighting a priest like me for so long without a clear winner, and you still have the nerve to say that?"
"Wow, it was you who insisted on fighting with me!" Mu He had never seen such a shameless person!
Suifeng didn't bother to pay attention to him. He called out the system window and pressed "Surrender". He did the whole process quickly and efficiently without even blinking.
Before being ejected from the arena by the system, he looked up and met Mu He's gaze, saying calmly, "I told you, you can't kill me. Come back when you're level 20 and have the equipment. I'll teach you how to play as a priest."
"Depend on!"
Mu He only had time to utter this word before he was ejected from the arena by the system and returned to the warehouse manager.
System: [Congratulations on your victory over Demon Priest Suifeng in the arena. The bet has been deposited into your storage space. Please check it carefully.]
The victory in this battle was inexplicable.
Of course Mu He couldn't accept it: "I admit that you are quite capable. If we continue to fight, there is a high probability that the game will be a draw, but what's the matter with you admitting defeat halfway?"
Suifeng: "I have to go to work tomorrow, so I have to go to bed early."
Mu He: “…”
I never expected this answer.
"I'll return the necklace to you." Mu Hecai didn't want this kind of reward that he won inexplicably.
Suifeng: "I'll give it to you."
Mu He: "Then I'll give you the magic necklace as an exchange."
Suifeng: "Not rare."
"Okay, you're awesome."
If he doesn't want it, then he doesn't want it. He will keep it for himself. When he learns how to refine equipment in the future, he can decompose it and use the decomposed materials to make his own equipment.
"Then you should log off." Mu He said.
Suifeng said "hmm", but did not log off immediately. Instead, he raised one hand and tapped the air in front of him a few times.
Not long after, a small system box popped up in front of Mu He.
System: [Demon Clan Priest Suifeng has sent you a friend request. Do you want to accept it?]
Mu He stared at the small system frame in front of him for a few seconds, then looked up and met Sui Feng's gaze, not understanding what he meant. "Don't you think my swordsmanship skills are bad? What do you want to do?"
Suifeng: "Stop talking nonsense. Add me, I'm offline."
Mu He: “???”
Mu He didn't mind adding someone to the fun, but this person's tone was too annoying. Did he think he was the boss?
Even so, Mu He still clicked to accept, curled his lips and said: "Okay, you can go down, let's team up and play together tomorrow?"
"No team, I'm going solo." Suifeng replied lightly, then decisively quit the game and disappeared out of thin air.
Mu He: “…”
Depend on!
Mu He thought he was already very willful, but he didn't expect that there were people in this world who were more willful than him!
He opened his storage space with a lot of anger in his heart and took a look at the necklace that Suifeng lost to him.
Although it is only level 5, the added attributes are still useful for him at this stage, so it would be a waste not to wear it.
He put the necklace on and then put his French necklace into the warehouse.
After doing all this, he went to the shop owner to clear out the garbage in the storage space and prepare for the next task.
The next task is to collect the fangs of the Night Wolf and exchange them for "Post Station Usage Certificates" from the shop owner.
In other words, after completing this task, he can use the post station to leave Youye Village, and be one step closer to the level 20 dungeon.
Mu He used to play the human race, so he is not very familiar with the tasks on the demon side. However, judging from the types of tasks and rewards, they feel not much different.
If he remembered correctly, the inn manager would give him a mount the first time he used the inn.
I wonder what the mount given by the demons is?
Mu He was just about to set out to fight the demon wolf, but before he could leave, he received a call.
Yes, phone.
Holographic games require players to fully commit themselves. In order to prevent players from missing important information while enjoying the game, many holographic games have launched a call forwarding function. Using this function, players can forward calls received in reality to the game.
Mu He didn't expect to receive a call at this time and stopped in his tracks.
After hesitating for a moment, he finally answered: "Hello?"
"Excuse me, is this Mr. Mu?" A polite voice came from the other end of the phone, a somewhat low male voice.
Mu He: "Yes, may I ask who you are?"
"I'm the HR of Qingjiu Games Co., Ltd. My last name is Fang, you can call me Brother Fang. I saw your resume on the recruitment website. When are you free for an interview?"
"Well……"
If it weren’t for this phone call, Mu He almost forgot that he was still an unemployed vagrant.
After graduating from university, Mu He relied entirely on the bonuses from the Qingkuang Team for support, and all his income sources were related to "Yu Ling".
But because of the captain's arrogant words, he simply withdrew from the circle and cut off his only source of income with his own hands.
Do you regret it?
Not really.
Mu He had long realized that he was a willful person. From childhood to adulthood, all the decisions he made were basically based on his mood.
Be it money, honor, or anything else outside of his body, he never cared about it.
However, it is definitely not acceptable to have no source of income at all.
In the past six months, in order to forget the unhappiness brought to him by "Yu Ling", Mu He went to five or six companies to apply for jobs, hoping to find an easy job that could support himself.
However, no company could satisfy his overly idealistic pursuit.
So, in the past six months, to put it nicely, he was struggling to find his ideal life; to put it bluntly, he was just an unemployed vagrant who was neither high nor low.
Now that "Yu Ling" has opened a new server, Mu He's boring life after retiring has finally improved a little, but the fundamental problem has not been solved - even if he returns to "Yu Ling", as long as he does not join the team and does not help the team win the game, he will not get any bonus.
No bonus means no income.
Without income, once his savings are used up, he will be left with nothing.
What should I do?
Should I continue playing games or go for the interview?
Mu He sighed, and finally bowed his noble head to reality: "I'm always free."
"So, tomorrow morning at 9 am is okay?"
"OK."
"Okay, see you tomorrow."
"See you tomorrow."
After getting the reply, Fang Cheng hung up the phone.
Just as I put down my phone, I heard a deep voice next to my ear: "Is there someone coming for an interview?"
Fang Cheng turned around upon hearing this and saw a man in a white shirt, who was too dazzling under the light: "Xi Yan."
"Call me Master Feng at the company." The man frowned in dissatisfaction and sat down opposite Fang Cheng.
Fang Cheng smiled and said, "Mr. Feng, weren't you playing "Imperial Spirit"? Why did you come out?"
Feng Xiyan: "I'm tired." After a pause, he asked, "Is there anyone coming for an interview?"
Fang Cheng: "Yes, tomorrow at 9 o'clock."
Feng Xiyan: "What position?"
Fang Cheng: "You may not believe this, but our company is hiring for six positions: copywriter, numerical planner, concept artist, modeler, action director, and technical developer—and he submitted his resume for all of them."
Feng Xiyan: "..."
"I feel like he will be a very interesting person." Fang Cheng smiled.
