Chen Tian and Qing Ling then looked at the map, which showed Ling Ranxue was in the first world. Chen Tian and Qing Ling nodded and teleported to the first world.
The maintenance reward for the Time Epoch also appeared in Chen Tian and Qing Ling's mailboxes. Chen Tian didn't pay much attention to it. This update only compensated with a skill enhancement card, which was useless to Chen Tian as he still had two skill enhancement cards in his inventory. However, who would complain about having too many of these?
In the first world, in Tao Lan City, a city located in the northeast, Chen Tian appeared after teleporting. Qing Ling was behind him. They looked around, and then Chen Tian opened his map and began to scan it. He immediately found Ling Xue's location on a map called Mie Xue Mountain, a level twenty leveling area.
Then Chen Tian said to Qing Ling, "Qing Ling, let's teleport! It's a bit far!"
"Okay!"
The magic staff emitted a magic circle, and the magic circle instantly glowed, enveloping their bodies and making them disappear from the city.
Due to the maintenance, the competition was extended by three days, giving Chen Tian three days to rest.
Mie Xue Mountain was a vast mountain range, but the snow here was black. Black snow covered the entire mountain. A magic circle appeared out of thin air on the ground, and Chen Tian and Qing Ling appeared outside the mountain.
Chen Tian and Qing Ling then looked at the map in front of them and immediately stepped into it. Beams of light scanned their bodies. Qing Ling's level and attributes were limited to level thirty, and Chen Tian was the same.
The map had been corrected, but it didn't matter much to them. As they walked on the mountain, Chen Tian looked at the black snow around him and felt a sense of familiarity.
He couldn't quite recall what it was. Suddenly, a huge explosion came from ahead. Chen Tian and Qing Ling stepped forward and instantly arrived at the battlefield.
There, a woman in casual clothes stood her ground, punching relentlessly. Around her, countless black wolves charged at the woman.
Facing the terrifying pack of wolves, the woman swung her fists, each punch hitting a wolf, causing an explosion and turning its body into starlight.
Chen Tian activated his Divine Eyes. The player in front of him was Lin Xue. Chen Tian showed a hint of curiosity. Could attribute points be allocated like this?
In Chen Tian's eyes, Lin Xue's strength attribute had already reached the maximum for level thirty, as had her constitution. However, all other stats were single digits.
Could attribute points be allocated like this in this game?
Chen Tian realized for the first time that it was possible.
Her strength and constitution were powerful, but her speed was too slow. She couldn't move and could only stand in place like a wooden post, taking hits.
However, with each punch she threw, the terrifying power was something no wolf could withstand. After some time, Lin Xue wiped the sweat from her brow.
An interface appeared, showing the information for leveling up. Lin Xue was happy.
Chen Tian walked up to Lin Xue and said, "It's best not to allocate attribute points right now. You're only level twenty. Your attributes can be improved as you level up later. Your current strength and constitution are already capped, so there's no point in adding more."
"Ah! Chen Tian, is that you? You scared me! Qing Ling is here too! Why are you two using your real appearances?"
Lin Xue looked at Chen Tian and Qing Ling in surprise. They both said in unison, "Too lazy to customize our game avatars!"
Lin Xue was speechless but didn't dwell on it. She then looked at Chen Tian and Qing Ling and said, "So Chen Tian, you're a Summoner? And it's a hidden profession. And you, little sister, chose the Mage profession. I feel like my profession is too ordinary."
"Uh!!"
Chen Tian didn't know what to say. With your profession, playing as a Fisticuff Master like this, he was sure it would be more terrifying than a hidden profession.
The information from Chen Tian's Divine Eyes indicated that Lin Xue was an ordinary profession, a Fighter subclass of the Fisticuff Master, specializing in fighting techniques and close combat.
However, Lin Xue's attribute allocation was truly bizarre, only adding points to strength and constitution. Wait, Chen Tian seemed to have thought of something and then said, "No, why are your stats all single digits? Weren't the initial stats fixed?"
"Ah! You're asking about that! When I defeated a boss, a reset card dropped. I was curious at the time, so I used it. Then all my points became zero. So I thought, since it's a melee character, I should add points to strength and constitution. Then I added the remaining points to other attributes."
Lin Xue looked pensive. Chen Tian was speechless. "Damn, a drop item card! What kind of luck is this? How could this even drop? And her luck stat is 0, yes, 0! How did this even drop?"
"Alright, sister, you're only level twenty-five. Brother and I are already in the second and third worlds. Let's team up! The experience sharing feature was added in this maintenance update, so we can help you level up."
Qing Ling pulled up her interface and invited Lin Xue to form a party. Chen Tian also nodded in agreement; Lin Xue's level was too low.
Lin Xue said helplessly, "I don't understand games. Back then, I just wanted to punch enemies to death and perfectly defend against incoming attacks. Who knew my speed would be single digits? I walk slower than a snail, taking only three centimeters per step."
Chen Tian and Qing Ling shook their heads. She really didn't know how to play games. However, it was precisely because of this peculiarity that she became so terrifying.
Chen Tian estimated that no player of the same level would be able to withstand Lin Xue's punch at level thirty; that was certain.
With this maintenance update, the game introduced an experience sharing feature. In party mode, experience gained by party members could be shared with designated players. The amount shared depended on personal decisions, ranging from full sharing to half sharing.
To provide more gameplay options, Time Epoch introduced a new party mode called Shared Party Mode, with a limit of four players.
This also encouraged veteran players to help new players.
Then Chen Tian opened his Divine Eyes and said, "Kill all the group monsters up to level twenty-eight ahead. All the experience will be given to Lin Xue, and she should reach level twenty-nine."
"Let's go!"
Qing Ling followed behind. Lin Xue was stunned and looked at the retreating figures of the two. She called out, "Wait for me! I can't keep up!"
Lin Xue took a step and instantly moved forward a few centimeters. With single-digit speed, she could barely move.
But suddenly, her experience bar surged, and she instantly reached level twenty-nine, with 85% of the experience bar filled.
She had only taken one step, and it was already all resolved. "Damn, are Chen Tian and Qing Ling that formidable?"
