Chapter 27: Fire Staff
s stating that players can exchange in-game currency for RMB according to the exchange rate!Thanks to these two features, when the [Tianyun Group] announced in May 2025 that the open beta test of [Tia...The growth of an Beastmaster's attributes is indeed very low, I'm afraid it's even lower than that of a Priest. Compared to a first-turn mage, the gap is obvious.
A Magic Caster's intelligence growth reaches 12 stars, and their endurance, physical strength, and agility all surpass Beast Tamers by 2 stars. Overall, they surpass Beast Tamers by a growth of 9 stars!
But that's for other Beastmasters. With the bonus from his 【Dragon Lineage】, Zhang Yi needs to add 5 stars to each of his four attributes. This means Zhang Yi's intelligence growth has reached 14 stars, which is 2 stars higher than a first-turn Mage's intelligence growth!
Not only is it a Beast Tamer, after the seven major professions transfer jobs, attribute growth will basically be reduced. However, as compensation, the system will give each player who transfers 30 points of free attribute points!
With the addition of his wash points, Zhang Yi now has 80 free attribute points!
Zhang Yi made a decision that no other player would dare to make after a level reset: he put all 80 attribute points into intelligence!
Even most players, even mages, will add some points to their stamina attribute to ensure their survival. Relying on the life boost from his level 5, 2-star [Guardian Armor], Zhang Yi didn't consider adding any stamina at all.
After finishing the buffing, Zhang Yi opened the status bar——

The gap between his attributes and before changing jobs isn't that big, especially since Zhang Yi's attack already reached 157 points without any equipment. If he were to equip a weapon like the [Silver Moon Bow], it would be amazing!
Before Il made his staff, Zhang Yi couldn't find any decent weapons. There was no way around it, so he opened his backpack and from the 1-8 level, 1-star equipment inside, which had everything under the sun, he found a 7th level staff with an extra 14 magic attack points. Then, he spent 25 level 1 enhancement stones and instantly turned the trash into a top-notch item——

This is no ordinary staff, it's twice as...
After equipping the fire staff, Zhang Yi's magic attack reached 206 points. Compared to before he removed the Silver Moon Bow, his attack power only decreased by 10 points!
After taking care of his job, Zhang Yi went to the appraisal center in town and had all the equipment that exploded from him in the Dark Forest appraised.
Equipment below level 10, the appraisal fee is not expensive either, an average piece of equipment costs only 20 copper coins.
Then, Zhang Yi endured his drowsiness and, carrying a backpack full of equipment, arrived at the busiest street in Hope Town.
It was past eight in the morning, and finally at this time, some players who had stayed up all night preparing to go offline and head to work, discovered something unusual about the game.
"What's wrong, why can't I go offline"
As a shout rang out from the crowd, other nearby players also hurriedly opened their game interfaces. Sure enough, everyone discovered that the "Logout" button in the lower right corner was unresponsive!
"How could this be"
"Did the game bug out I have to go to work at 9! It's stuck in the game, and now what am I going to tell my boss!"
"Can the official explain this What's going on here"
The crowd suddenly fell into chaos.
This was all within Zhang Yi's expectations, because in his previous life, they also only discovered the problem of being unable to log out at this time.
“This is a real death game world!”
Someone in the crowd yelled, and then another voice said, "Don't scare people!"
"This is true, I have a friend who ran out of revives a few times before. Then he died again outside just now and didn't revive anymore! He... really died!"
Then someone else said, "Have you guys noticed that the NPCs in this world... feel kind of familiar"
“They’re all real people! I saw my mom when I picked up my mission this morning, I thought I was hallucinating… What is going on!”
Just when everyone was in a panic, Zhang Yi remained calm and collected. He picked a good spot on the street, spent 10 copper coins to apply for a 10-minute stall through the system, and set up his street stall just when the players were most anxious...
The more panicked they became, the better Zhang Yi's equipment sold. Because once they realized this was a real death game, players would do anything to get good equipment to enhance themselves and have a chance to survive in this world.
This fact is indeed hard to accept, most players would rather believe that it's a game bug and they can log off once the Heavenly Fortune Group fixes it, returning to the real world.
Thus, those who believed the latter gradually calmed down and even got a little excited: “That’s great, now we have an excuse not to go to work. Our boss also plays this game, he must be trapped inside too, hahaha!”
In no time at all, Zhang Yi's booth was surrounded by quite a few players. Of course, most of them were here because of the booth owner himself. Zhang Yi had deliberately displayed his ID on top of his head: Lv11 One-Turn Beastmaster · Yī Nào Qīnchéng, it stood out prominently.
The players surrounding Zhang Yi were discussing him heatedly.
"Here's a scruffy-bearded uncle with a big sword in his hand: 'Isn't this the famous figure from our 886 district, Yi Nuo Qing Cheng who killed King of Glory Team Captain, King's Glory twice'"
A voluptuous beauty: "Yes, this is the first time I've seen you in person. It turns out that Yixiaoqingcheng is actually such a young boy! You are truly promising at a young age!"
A young man with glasses and a scholarly look: “If this is really the end of the world, equipment is the most important thing to keep you alive. His stall is full of gear above level 5, which would be very helpful for us in the early stages.”
As soon as the Spectacles Guy finished speaking, players rushed to buy equipment.
Because Zhang Yi had clearly marked the prices of all the equipment on his stall, he didn't need to do anything. He just sat behind the stall and watched as players in front of him bought equipment and paid him. Zhang Yi shook his head. These people hadn't realized that the world wasn't just a game anymore.In my memory, Tianqi's first survival mission seemed to be finding a safe zone. I opened the task inter...
