Ding Ling was alert and solemn.
He felt that over the past few years, he might have only touched the surface of Blue Star.
"Forget it, let's start the game first."
As a new player.
The initial planes he could access had only three choices:
Late Sui Dynasty!
Late Eastern Han Dynasty!
Late Qin Dynasty!
Ding Ling chose the Late Eastern Han Dynasty.
The reason was simple.
Because the Late Eastern Han Dynasty was a plane set based on the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and Ding Ling was most familiar with the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
Although he was familiar with the Late Sui Dynasty and Late Qin Dynasty, he couldn't know them as well as the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
How to choose?
Naturally, choose the most familiar!
[Player Ding Ling confirms choice of Late Eastern Han Dynasty plane?]
Confirm!
[Choice successful, about to initiate teleportation.]
Boom!
The next instant.
The light circle under his feet swirled, taking Ding Ling and made him instantly disappear from the Player Plaza.
The players were obviously used to this, still fervently discussing the comprehensive leaderboard's 'Ding Ling', completely unaware Ding Ling had just been standing right in front of them.
...
An hour later.
Ding Ling, along with many players donned in armor, stood on the plaza, listening to General Cheng Huan explaining training essentials.
Ding Ling did not expect to be randomly assigned to Hann Fu's Jizhou camp!
Every new player initially has the right to choose a plane.
But they have no right to choose a camp.
Some people are lucky to become brothers with Zhao Zilong;
Some may be unlucky enough to end up under Dong Zhuo, constantly 'enjoying' Dong Zhuo's Silver Might!
Being in this Jizhou camp, it's neither good nor bad.
An hour's time.
Already allowed Ding Ling to fully adjust his mindset, and with a mix of resentment, vigor, or eager-faced players, began training.
The start was a half-hour weighted run around the 'military camp'.
After the run, many people directly collapsed.
More people fell behind, unable to keep up.
And this was just a selection process.
Those who performed exceptionally in the half-hour weighted run were directly assigned to General Cheng Huan.
Those who performed poorly were assigned to a Military Marquis or Village Chief.
At this moment.
General Cheng Huan had already taught players the training essentials.
He said loudly:
"Those who stand out with me will be assigned to our Jizhou's Unrivaled Divine General, General Pan Feng, to learn higher tier martial arts skills. If you want to become stronger, then work hard."
Upon hearing Unrivaled Divine General Pan Feng.
Many people's expressions were very peculiar.
But under General Cheng Huan's watchful gaze, they couldn't badmouth Pan Feng, so they had to hold it in, with faces somewhat twisted.
Ding Ling was not among them.
To him.
The Jizhou camp was just a stepping stone.
Once he learned all the skills, he could leap from here and learn elsewhere.
He was also learning along with the players.
Of course, most of his attention was still on the 'library'.
He noticed on a new bookshelf in the library, a book was slowly forming.
This book took shape after Cheng Huan explained the key points and precautions of the 'Pile Skill', with Ding Ling thoughtfully going over it a few times in his mind to ensure nothing was missed.
The book surprisingly took form.
Then...
[Low-level Pile Skill Full Level]
[Strength +0.2]
[Agility +0.2]
[Constitution +0.2]
Ding Ling felt his strength instantly increase significantly, making him feel lighter and more agile.
The previously seemingly difficult Pile Skill.
At this moment, he performed it like antelope's horns, naturally integrated, as if he had always been this way.
'It's really useful!'
Ding Ling was overjoyed.
'I just wonder if I can fully bring this power back to reality?'
'If possible, this game is truly remarkable. It's unimaginable what the results will be if we later conquer the Journey to the West Plane or Gods' Ascension Plane.'
If players collectively become immortals and gods in the future!
Reality would definitely be extremely exciting!
"Huh!"
Cheng Huan clearly noticed Ding Ling as well.
Ding Ling stood out like a sun among the poorly performing crowd, it was hard for Cheng Huan not to notice.
"What's your name?"
Cheng Huan walked up to Ding Ling, staring at him with bright eyes, like looking at an extraordinary, out-of-this-world talent.
"My name is Ding Ling."
"Ding Ling, is it?"
Cheng Huan nodded with satisfaction:
"Your Pile Skill has met the standard, next you have two choices, continue training Pile Skill, or train an Initial Tier Military Saber Technique."
"Continue training Pile Skill."
Ding Ling did not hesitate.
"Good. I will teach you, listen well, watch closely."
Cheng Huan looked not like an NPC at all, his wisdom and actions indistinguishable from regular people.
This was why this game shocked the world, it was so realistic!
If not for the ability to be resurrected in the game world upon death, many people would think they had traveled through time!
Of course, no one wished to die, because death not only caused a level drop but also had a high chance of exploding all items, unless absolutely necessary, no one did such foolish things.
"This guy..."
Other players looked at Ding Ling, astonished, incredulous, whispering among themselves, no different than saying Ding Ling couldn't possibly be a pure newbie, otherwise how could he stand out so quickly, wasn't this a joke? Really treating them like losers?!
But the next moment.
Just seeing Ding Ling as if a magnificent horse, landing robustly on the ground, his body fluctuating, surprisingly showed the manifestation of having practiced 'Horse Stance Skill' to the Transformation Realm.
"...!!"
All players couldn't help but be dumbfounded, their eyes nearly popped out, then questioning and affirming among themselves:
"This guy must be an old player! Otherwise, it's too defying! In this world, how could there be someone who learns it instantly and performs even better than the original after being told once?!"
They didn't believe Ding Ling could be so defying.
Only Cheng Huan believed it, his face was shocked, dazed for a moment, he stepped forward and patted Ding Ling's shoulder:
"It seems you have a great talent in Pile Skills. The next advanced version of Horse Stance Skill, 'Dragon-Tiger Stance', I know it, but can't masterfully control it. If you want to learn, I can take you to General Pan Feng for learning. Of course, if you want to learn Saber Technique, I can also continue to teach you."
"I'll learn Saber Technique."
Ding Ling answered decisively.
Too much bites poorly!
This refers to lack of mastery and application.
But Ding Ling possessed a 'library' cheat of instant full level.
For him, the more skills, the better.
Because learning a skill allows him to grow stronger!
Just after learning the Horse Stance Skill, he saw another game panel prompt.
[Horse Stance Skill Full Level]
[Strength +0.4]
[Agility +0.4]
[Constitution +0.4]
