The King Of Passive Skills

Chapter 7: The Storm Guild

The two of them were chatting. At this moment, Wind-Blowing Wind Chimes displayed a piece of equipment on the team channel. It was the bronze ring that Zhang Shan had seen in the novice village.

Zhang Shan was shocked. “Wind Chimes, why is this equipment with you? Did that Little Secretary of the Storm buy it for you? Are you also from the Storm Guild? Then why didn’t you team up with them?”

Zhang Shan instantly had 100,000 questions. It was reasonable for Zhang Shan to be shocked because when he first saw Wind Chimes, she was farming chicks by herself like an orphan. She didn’t look like someone from a big guild. She even had dedicated people buying equipment for her. Zhang Shan’s mind was full of questions.

“Yeah, I’m also from the Storm Guild. My brother and I are in a novice village. Together with the little secretary, the three of us are in this novice village.” Wind Chimes looked calm as if she was talking about an ordinary matter. There was no hint of complacency or other expressions on her face.

“Then why don’t you team up with them to level up?”

“My brother wants to level up. I’m a Priest. It’s not very useful in the early stages, so I can’t help much. If I team up with them, I’ll drag down their progress.”

“Hehe, which member of the Storm Guild is your brother?” Thousand Miles Riding Alone suddenly asked. Perhaps he knew some people from the Storm Guild.

“My brother is Storm of the World. Do you know him?”

“Yes. If I tell you, I’m afraid your brother will beat me up. In the past, when I was playing the game, I stole his boss. Haha.” Thousand Miles Riding Alone sounded a little smug. To be able to steal a boss from a large guild, he was also a capable person.

“Awesome. But Brother, you’re going to be in trouble. The Storm Guild will chase you to death in the New World. Hehe.” Zhang Shan teased.

“It’s fine, snatching in the game is normal. Besides, the New World was a new beginning. I heard that the game would develop greatly in the future. There were even people who said that the game currency in the New World would become the second currency of the Blue Star Alliance.” Wind-Blowing Wind Chimes did not care at all about Thousand Miles Riding Alone snatching the guild’s boss previously.

“That’s impossible. No matter what, it’s just a game. How can the game currency compare to blue coins?” Zhang Shan asked in disbelief.

“Brother, since Wind Chimes beauty said it’s possible, then it’s possible. You don’t know their guild is one of the top 10 guilds in the alliance, do you? Their background is extraordinary, and the Storm of the World is also a mysterious character. Anyway, I’ve only seen him in the game. I don’t know his background, but his background is definitely terrifying.

“If you don’t believe me, you can ask Wind Chimes, but she definitely won’t tell us, hehe.” Thousand Miles Riding Alone said. It looked like he was also a member of game gossip. He actually wanted to inquire about the real identity of others.

“It’s nothing, it’s just that our family is a little special, so it’s not convenient to tell. Do you guys have a guild? Do you want to join our guild in the future?” Wind-Blowing Wind Chimes actually invited the two of them to join the Storm Guild.

Zhang Shan was a little puzzled. Although some game guilds claimed to have tens of thousands of people or even hundreds of thousands of people, those were the people who were recruited in the game after the establishment of the guild. Thus they had no connection to the guild.

The official members of the game guild were usually not many, at most a few hundred people. Some guilds seemed to be famous, but in fact, there were only a few dozen official members.

Since Wind-Blowing Wind Chimes had invited them to join the guild, they should not be peripheral members. This was because peripheral members did not need to be invited. After the establishment of the guild base in the game, they could casually spread the word and people would naturally join.

Before Zhang Shan could clear his thoughts, he heard Thousand Miles Riding Alone excitedly ask, “Wind Chimes Beauty, if we join the Storm Guild, are we official members? We are just ordinary players, we won’t spend large amounts of money.”

Seeing his exciting expression, Zhang Shan felt a little strange. What was so good about joining a guild? There were many things to do, but not many benefits. He only wanted to quietly farm monsters to earn some living expenses. He was playing the New World as a job. If he joined other people’s guilds and always participated in guild activities, wouldn’t that affect his work?

“I don’t want to join any guilds for the time being. I’m playing the New World because I don’t have a job anymore. I want to earn some living expenses by farming monsters in the New World. I’m not doing it for fun.”

Zhang Shan directly rejected Wind-Blowing Wind Chimes’ invitation and explained. Although he wanted to be like other people and be unrestrained in the game, his situation did not allow it. He still had to earn money to live.

After listening to Zhang Shan’s explanation, Wind-Blowing Wind Chimes did not say anything. But Thousand Miles Riding Alone said with a speechless expression, “Brother, you’re outdated. If you want to earn money in the game, you have to join a guild. If you farm normal monsters alone, how much money can you get? Even if you work to death, it’s probably just money for food. Joining the guild is different. Fighting bosses with the guild’s big shots, participating in all sorts of big events, and randomly dropping some good stuff is enough for you to farm for a year.”

“Is that so?” Zhang Shan was a little confused. He had always felt that joining the guild would affect his ability to farm monsters and earn money in the future. After all, the guild’s organization would take up a lot of time to fight bosses or other activities. So even if there were good things, he would not have a share.

At this moment, Wind-Blowing Wind Chimes also spoke. “Six Guan Bodhisattva, if you want to earn money in the game, then you have to join a powerful guild. Not to mention whether you can earn money by farming alone, even if you can, it’s still a small amount of money. It’s meaningless. It’s better to just find a job and work.

“It’s different if you join our guild. When the time comes, everyone will fight the boss and dungeon together. The items produced will be much better than farming small monsters. You don’t have to worry about the guild blackmailing your equipment. Our guild has always rolled points on demand. If you have any difficulties in your life, you can tell me. I can sponsor you.”

Zhang Shan did not know why Wind-Blowing Wind Chimes was so eager to invite them to join the Storm Guild. It couldn’t be because he had brought her to farm chicks to level up, right?

Without waiting for Zhang Shan to think it through, Thousand Miles Riding Alone anxiously said to Wind-Blowing Wind Chimes. “Wind Chimes Beauty, you have to drag this guy into the guild. He has 9 points of luck, and most importantly, he has a very annoying talent. He will definitely explode in the later stages.”

Zhang Shan was speechless. This guy had sold him out so quickly.

“Oh, what talent?” Wind-Blowing Wind Chimes revealed a surprised expression. As far as she knew, 9 luck points were very rare. Her guild did not have any at the moment, and the highest one was herself. She had 8 luck points, but she was also under support. It was very difficult to get the last hit when fighting a boss, so it could not affect the drop rate of items. It was not very practical.

Luck was still fine. It was not strange for people to have high luck. There were so many players in the New World, so there would always be some lucky ones. However, she was very curious about the talent that Thousand Miles Riding Alone had mentioned. What kind of talent could be called a bug-like existence.

Zhang Shan did not intend to hide his talent. Sooner or later, others would guess it.

He directly displayed his talent in the team channel.

Talent: The Passive King (every time you kill a monster, there is a chance to randomly obtain a passive skill from the monster. The probability is one in a million.)

Seeing the talent that Zhang Shan displayed, Wind-Blowing Wind Chimes was also stunned. “There is actually such a talent. This talent is indeed very powerful. However, I think the passive skills that you obtained through your talent definitely would have a huge difference from the effect of the monster itself. Just like how our skills need to be upgraded. The skills on the monster may be level 10, and the skills that you obtain should be level 1. And it should not be upgraded. Otherwise, it will seriously destroy the game’s balance. This is not allowed to exist.

“Of course, no matter which angle you looked at it from, this was a very powerful talent. The further you went, the stronger you became. Your future was limitless. Moreover, the vitality of the New World would be longer than anyone had imagined. Some people said that this was a game that could be played for a lifetime. In any case, the New World would definitely last for a very long time. As long as you were willing, there would be nothing to worry about in the later stages of the game. Six Guan Bodhisattva, Cherish your character well. Perhaps it would allow you to not have to worry about your living anymore.”

What Wind-Blowing Wind Chimes said surprised Zhang Shan. There were two points in what she had said. One of them was that the passive skills he obtained through his talent would be worse than the monster. Zhang Shan had also thought of this. As for whether he could level up after obtaining a skill, Zhang Shan had not thought of this. He did not care about this because he would naturally know when he obtained the first passive skill.

The other information that Wind Chimes revealed was very interesting. She said that the New World would last very long, and could even be played for a lifetime. He did not know if Wind Chimes had guessed it herself or it was insider news. The lifespan of a game was limited. It was considered amazing if it was seven or eight years. The short ones were only one or two years, and no one would play anymore.

Thousand Miles Riding Alone said that her background was not simple, so she might know some inside news. However, it was not convenient to ask her directly.

It seemed that Wind-Blowing Wind Chimes were very familiar with the New World. Zhang Shan thought of another question regarding the passive king’s talent and asked her, “Wind Chimes, do you think I would consume skill points to obtain skills through my talent?”

Wind-Blowing Wind Chimes nodded and said, “It seems like you have thought of this question, too. I think you don’t need to use skill points because the talent description says ‘obtain’. Also, since you might not need to use skill points to level up your skills, you shouldn’t use skill points to obtain skills. This is a question regarding the skill point mechanism. But just to be on the safe side, before you obtain your first skill, try to keep one skill point. You’ll know when the time comes.”

Thousand Miles Riding Alone said jealously, “Is that so? You don’t even need to use skill points? Isn’t that giving skills away for free?”

“That’s not a big deal. Due to this talent, Six Guan Bodhisattva has less of others than other people. Just like the HP recovery, magic power recovery, and increase in attack power, he doesn’t have any. Before he obtains a skill, he’s naturally weaker than others,” Wind-Blowing Wind Chimes explained.

“That’s right. If I didn’t team up with Thousand Miles Riding Alone, I would still be killing chicks right now,” Zhang Shan could not help but ridicule.

“Then do you guys want to join our Storm Guild?” Wind-Blowing Wind Chime invited them again.

“Do we need to sign a contract?” Zhang Shan was still a little worried. Although he also felt that joining the Storm Guild was not a problem, he still had to ask.

“Our guild members do not sign contracts and do not receive salaries. Everyone is like-minded and gathers together to play the game. If they gather, they gather. If they do not get along, they leave. There are no restrictions. Of course, there are no benefits. It all depends on their abilities and luck in the game.”

“Alright, I’ll join.”

“I’ll talk to my brother later. Also, tell me your contact numbers. I’ll pull you into the guild group later.”
