Chapter 34

"By the way, I'm already level 20. Are there any new skills I can learn?" Mu Feng put away the rewards and asked Makaron. Now, he mainly relied on Blade Traversal and Desperate Strike for damage output, and the new skill Dark Slash needed urgent improvement.

"There are. Not only are there skills to learn, but your contribution points are also enough to upgrade your class badge!" Makaron replied with a smile. The completion of the Heroic difficulty quest rewarded a large amount of contribution points, and with the previous solo completion of several group quests, Mu Feng had successfully met the conditions for badge upgrade.

"That's great!" Mu Feng handed over his class badge to Makaron and then opened the skill learning interface.

Dark Slash: Level 2. Launches a crescent-shaped black energy attack forward, dealing 150% of the main-hand weapon damage and 100 + 1 spell power shadow damage. (Damage increases by 100% during Demon Burst.) The upgraded Dark Slash has significantly increased damage.

Custom Class Badge +1: Accessory, Level (Epic). Agility +15, Strength +15, Intelligence +15, Stamina +15. Usage: Dispel all movement restriction effects and all effects that cause your character to lose control. 30-minute cooldown, can be upgraded through class quests.

Although the upgraded class badge didn't add much to the attributes, it gained an active effect to remove any control. He casually allocated all the free attribute points from leveling to 20 to Intelligence, further increasing spell damage to balance Agility and Intelligence. After equipping the Fist of the Divine, Mu Feng's attributes became...

Melancholy Wind: Demon Hunter Soldier

Talent: Reaper (2 talent points remaining)

Level: 20

Strength: 57

Agility: 225

Intelligence: 143

Stamina: 115

Spirit: 39

Attack: 492

Spell Damage: 183

Defense: 137

These powerful attributes were absolutely the best in the entire "Sky"!

The Fist of the Divine was a slender moonblade made of an unknown white material, crystal clear, with a natural jade-like feel. The constantly flickering silver-white magical light made it look very beautiful when equipped.

With the upgrade, he still had two unallocated talent points, perfect for researching the second tier of the Reaper talent.

Dark Condemnation: Each point increases the critical strike chance of your weapons, spells, and skills by 1%. Maximum 5 points.

Spell Extension: Each point increases the range of your Sacrifice and Mana Burn spells by 5 yards. Maximum 2 points.

Dual Wield Mastery: Each point increases the damage of your off-hand weapon by 5%. Maximum 3 points.

Three excellent talents! After maxing out Suppression, Mu Feng had only one talent point left. After some thought, he allocated it to Dual Wield Mastery, then used the remaining two points on Dark Condemnation, using up all five points in this tier. Although Spell Extension was good, the original casting range was sufficient for Mu Feng, who excelled in distance control.

After allocating the talent points, he noticed it was almost 6 a.m., so Mu Feng logged off.

After preparing breakfast, Mu Feng found that today's Kobo was different from usual. She glared at him while eating, as if the fork in her hand was stabbing not the scrambled eggs and sausages, but Mu Feng's body...

"What's wrong, Kobo?" Mu Feng had to ask to put his mind at ease with Kobo's unusual behavior.

"Why did you turn off friend requests?" Kobo asked angrily.

"Um, there were too many friend requests in the game, so I turned them off." Mu Feng felt puzzled. Why was Kobo angry about him turning off friend requests? The two things didn't seem related.

"Just a mere servant... daring to turn off friend requests! I don't care, but when you log back in, you must add Yeluo Chengdie as a friend! And where is your character now?"

"I'm in the Lionheart City of the Humans."

"Lionheart City? Got it..." With the information she wanted, Kobo finally started eating breakfast. However, her series of questions left Mu Feng completely confused.

"Hmph, I see why Yeluo Chengdie's dozens of friend requests went unanswered. This caused a near falling out between me and Yeluo Chengdie! Tonight, I'll definitely surprise Brother!" Kobo wouldn't reveal more until she met Mu Feng in the game.

After sending Kobo to school, Mu Feng began browsing the latest game news, only to be deeply attracted by a pinned post on the Chinese forum...

Melancholy Wind, we are waiting for you! -- Star Guardian

"Star Guardian's post?" Mu Feng's heart stirred, and he clicked on the post.

Do you remember? It was you who, with a few friends, founded the Stars. From a handful of people to a guild of over a thousand, we stumbled and laughed, we cried and laughed, we were radiant. Facing powerful bosses, we wavered, we gritted our teeth, and we clung to hope. In the end, we triumphed, we were arrogant, and we shone!

Back then, I just wanted to play the game casually to pass the time. You told me, "A man without dreams is no different from a dried fish." I will never forget those words! After playing for so many years, I've forgotten how many monsters I've killed and how many people I've defeated. The only thing I'm sure of is that you are still my leader!

I never thought of being the guild leader of the Stars until you suddenly left. I knew I couldn't do much for you, but I could try to keep the Stars alive, waiting for your return.

Over the years, the Stars have undergone some reforms, but the core team has never changed, still the old brothers from back then! Unconsciously, we have become the strongest guild in the Chinese region of "Sky." But at night, I always feel down, looking back. In our best times, the person who led us was not among us.

We fight not to change the world, but to prevent the world from changing us. We are here, always waiting for you, Melancholy Wind... The dreams and friendships of our youth, we still remember. The trust we once had, remains firm. The ambition we once thought we could share, we are still here, ready to go!

Azeroth, an old dream, may the snow of Northrend always drift in our memories.

"Everyone..." After reading the entire post, Mu Feng couldn't help but feel his eyes well up. All the memories of the past flashed before his eyes like a slideshow. From the early struggles of the guild to the glory of achieving various world-first kills. Mu Feng had never forgotten these sealed memories!

However, the Stars and Mu Feng, known as the Smiling Paladin, were never profit-driven. In fact, the Stars were once called the last utopia in the gaming world. There was no guild points system; everyone who joined was a brother. The core team rolled for loot directly, never using the leader's allocation or points exchange system. Mu Feng put all the gear he obtained into the guild bank for everyone to use, and the gold he earned went into the guild bank to fund repairs. Back then, Mu Feng was a giant in spirit but a pauper in reality...

Five years ago, the massive change that almost destroyed Mu Feng's life forced him to take responsibility for his family and Kobo's life! He couldn't be like he used to. However, he didn't want the Stars to become a tool for making money. So he left, leaving decisively. A terrifying rogue then emerged, the Rogue Emperor Xingxie! Mu Feng thanked "Demon World" for its successful commercial operation, which allowed him to earn enough money.

Taking a deep breath and exhaling slowly, time seemed to stretch for an eternity. Finally, Mu Feng lightly typed the following message: "Thank you for your waiting, but I'm sorry, I cannot return. It's not that I don't miss my old friends, but time changes a person. We will meet again on the path ahead, and when we do, we will still be close friends!"

What drove Mu Feng to do this was still hatred! The mysterious crystal and the "Sky" game were bringing Mu Feng increasingly powerful strength. One day, he would seek revenge on the werewolves who killed his parents, so he couldn't return, as he might leave again forever...

Star Guardian's post calling for Melancholy Wind to return to the Stars was rejected! This major news sent shockwaves through the "Sky" player community, sparking a heated debate about who was right and who was wrong. However, Mu Feng had no interest in the spectacle, turned off his computer, and went upstairs to the gym to begin his inhuman training.

PS: The previous chapter was slightly modified, adding Star Guardian's reaction after hearing the system announcement.
