Chapter 1
Solo Player, an Unconventional Talent, I Just Rub
“Hahaha! I never thought there would be such a profession in this world!”
“No wonder it’s an S-class profession! If more people switch careers like this, humanity is doomed!”
Blue Star, Third Base City.
First High School, on the Transfer Plaza.
Mo Xiao groggily opened his eyes.
Before him was a futuristic and illusionary panel, with several large characters written on it.
[Grade 12 (Class 1), Mo Xiao’s career transfer successful.]
[Profession: Solo Player]
Grade 12? Didn’t I already graduate a long time ago?
What’s this career transfer thing? Solo player? Have I been watching too much Full-Time Expert?
Mo Xiao stood in the center of the formation, utterly bewildered, not knowing what had happened.
“Hey, classmate, are you okay? Don’t be too upset. Your situation is still better than those who have mundane careers.
“You should go down and calm yourself first, so you don’t affect others’ career transfers.”
The teacher in charge of the career transfer didn’t care about Mo Xiao’s current state and directly pushed him out.
Mo Xiao, wearing a confused expression, walked out of the transfer formation and instinctively returned to his own class group.
Looking at the unfamiliar surroundings and the unfamiliar school uniform, a ridiculous thought spread in his mind.
Have I… traveled through time?
Just as Mo Xiao began to guess what had happened, countless memories surged into his mind like a tide.
This place was called Blue Star.
A hundred years ago, the game invaded reality, and the area of Blue Star expanded a hundredfold, giving rise to numerous instances of secret realms and various kinds of monsters.
Once humans on the planet reached the age of 18, they could undergo a career transfer.
After the transfer, they could level up by hunting monsters and obtaining experience to increase their strength.
It would create a living space for humans.
Mo Xiao walked to the back of the crowd in a daze, but he felt very helpless.
Now the body he occupied was also named Mo Xiao, just like him.
However, this Mo Xiao was a complete orphan. He had no parents.
Although he had excellent grades, he was a loner, an oddity in school, without any friends.
“Hey hey hey, isn’t this our Mo Xiao, the great scholar Mo!?”
No matter the world, there was never a shortage of these obnoxious idiots.
As soon as Mo Xiao settled in, a well-dressed youth strode up to him.
This person in front of him was named Su Wei, a bona fide second-generation rich kid, and he and Mo Xiao didn’t get along.
“Great scholar Mo, you’re really amazing! You’ve become a solo player! It’s an S-class super rare profession!
“Unlike me, who can only be an ordinary mage. I can’t compare to you~~~”
Solo player was an extremely special profession.
Other professions naturally gained skills as they leveled up.
But solo players didn’t. This profession had no inherent skills; they could only learn skills through skill books.
The advantage was that solo players could learn any skill without restrictions, and they could also ignore the limitations of their profession when using equipment.
On the surface, it seemed good, but skill books in this world were extremely rare. Any random skill book would be priced sky-high.
This directly cut off the path for solo players, to the point where they couldn’t even leave the newbie village.
Listening to Su Wei’s sarcastic remarks, Mo Xiao calmly glanced at him and said, “Get lost.”
“What did you say? Say it again if you dare! I’ll have you struck by lightning!”
Mo Xiao looked at the incredibly arrogant Su Wei, his expression unchanged.
He pushed Su Wei away and started to leave.
[Ding, you rubbed against Su Wei and can copy his talent!]
[Su Wei does not have any talent for the time being. Replace it with a skill. Do you want to copy it?]
Seeing the notification panel that suddenly appeared in his mind,
Mo Xiao couldn’t help but pause and instinctively said, “Copy!”
“Copy!”
[Congratulations, host, on a successful copy! You have obtained the skill, Lightning Strike!]
Just as Mo Xiao was wondering what was happening, a large hand suddenly landed on his shoulder.
“Su Wei! What are you trying to do? This is a school! Do you want to use skills on your classmates? Get back to your seat and wait for the career transfer to finish!”
Hearing the familiar reprimand, Mo Xiao instinctively looked up at the person who had arrived.
It was their class teacher, Li Xun.
Feeling Mo Xiao’s gaze, Li Xun gently patted his shoulder and said, “Everything will be alright in the end.”
After saying that, Li Xun glared at Su Wei again and returned to his seat.
But Mo Xiao remained stunned in place.
[Li Xun rubbed against you, and you can copy his talent—Advanced Reaction Enhancement (B-rank): Greatly improves reaction speed during battles.]
What’s going on? Teacher Li’s level should be much higher than mine. How can I copy it?
Mo Xiao instinctively glanced at Li Xun and involuntarily gulped.
With a thought, the character panel appeared directly in his mind.

Advanced Reaction Enhancement (Greatly improves reaction speed during battles)
F*ck me?
I brush? What kind of talent is this? Why does it look so unorthodox?
I Just Rub? Does it mean I just rub against it???
So, the skills and talents I copied earlier were all because of this talent?
In this world, everyone can change their occupation, but talents like this are only obtained after the second change. Yet I obtained them directly.
Could it be that this is compensation for the fact that solo players cannot automatically learn skills?
Just as Mo Xiao was lost in thought, the career transfer ceremony came to an end.
Just as Mo Xiao was preparing to leave with the rest of the group, a melodious voice suddenly called out to him.
“Mo Xiao… Do you want to team up with me?”
Mo Xiao instinctively turned his head and saw a graceful girl with a captivating smile silently looking at him.
“Jiang He…” Mo Xiao furrowed his brow slightly and quickly recalled the girl’s name.
“I’m an S-rank Elven Archer. I’m good at monster hunting.” Jiang He blushed slightly, making her appearance even more alluring.
Without hesitation, Mo Xiao said, “No need.”
“Eh! Don’t leave!”
Seeing Mo Xiao turn around and leave, Jiang He quickly chased after him and handed him a longbow and quiver, seemingly out of nowhere.
“You’re a solo player, so you should be able to use these. Let’s work together.”
Looking at Jiang He running away like a graceful elf, Mo Xiao fell into silence.
[Jiang He brushed against you~ Skill Wind Spirit Arrow has been copied.]
[A rub from the goddess, bringing you a refreshing and joyful feeling. The Wind Spirit Arrow is sublime~]
What the f*ck? Can it really happen like this?
