I have a bunch of players on Earth

Chapter 40



Old Master Lu’s Elf Strategy Guide (2)

“Hello everyone, I’m your most beloved Old Master Lu. Ha, are you surprised by my high posting rate? Most probably, some of the netizens who received the news would already know this. That’s right, I, Old Master Lu, have become a phoenix! Those netizens that hoped for me to become a pile of shit, I can only say that you all will be disappointed. Wahahaha!”

“Right, back to the main topic. Due to me acquiring a hidden job, many elves have been protesting. Hence, the official game station went to look for me, wanting me to write an elf strategy guide to explain to everyone. As to why the game doesn’t want to establish an official website, I have no idea as well…”

...

“Firstly, I’ll speak about the special characteristics of elves. The elf race’s jobs would only be known after one completely establishing their forms. In other words, those players who had chosen the elf race, your jobs would be randomized. How about it? Isn’t it exciting and filled with surprises?”

“Haha, I’m joking. Although many people might reject this design, there’s still charm in this. It is a distinguishing feature. I, Old Master Lu, dare to say that given the situation now, the elf race is absolutely the race with the most special characteristics. Because, their transformations have a very great connection with your own personality. Yes, you are correct. The game will grant you the most suitable job based on your personality. Although there’s a little bit of decision making from your part, you will discover that the jobs chosen by the game are those that suit you the best.”

“I’m not helping the game station to wash their name, but this is supported by true data. In the base, there’s a bunch of fellows who are about to succeed in evolving. Each of them after knowing the details of their jobs discovered that their jobs fit them to a T. Not only are they undergoing the training with ease, but the content of the jobs didn’t make a single one of them dissatisfied!”

“If you still wish to make the decision yourself, the game doesn’t only have a single elf race. You have many other choices. From the information I obtained, the game will release more races in the near future. Hence, there’s no need for everyone to worry that this game is only a game with a single choice. As for players who have no idea what race to choose from, let Old Master Lu reiterate this. I strongly recommend the elf race because the A.I. will definitely choose a suitable job for you!”

“Below, I will list all the current elf occupations we have in the base and allow everyone a broader understanding of the elf race.”

“Right now, a carrot-like thingy is what most elves will evolve into. Alright, let’s call it a human-form elf. The instructor said that this is the most common evolved form of the elves and is known as [Walkers]. There are many jobs that correspond to this race. From what the instructor said, the main thing was to see which muscle group they can focus their energy on. Those with stronger lower limbs have high eruptive might in their legs. They are suitable to become rangers. For those with a stronger upper body, they are suitable to be professional archers or swordsmen. If the Walkers are able to focus all their energy on their minds, they would be suitable for the song priest job.”

“The scenarios I listed above are only targeted to Walkers. Walkers had a certain degree of independence. For example, even if your upper limbs are stronger, but you wish to become a ranger, you can do so too. It’s just that your progress at the initial phase would be slower and you will lose some advantages. But all of these can be mitigated with enough time. This race belonged to the type where later modifications are possible.”

“Next, what I will be introducing are races that have no chance to choose their jobs. Their forms will dictate their jobs, and the players have no choice in this.”

“Right now, in the base, there’s a total of seven types of evolved elves. They are the wind demons, flower spirits, tree demons, druids, watchmen, stone spirits, and wood spirits. Next, I will give everyone an introduction to these seven commonly seen types, including their special characteristics and job information.”

“Wind demons: The majority of those that grow wings after transforming are wind demons. It’s said that their forms are half-bird, half-human. Their appearances are very nice to look at, and their weapons would be their sharp feathers. Right now, this is the only job that can fly at the first-grade. (Why? Are you envious?) In addition, it is said that their flying speed would be extremely quick during the later phase. From the information I got, wind demons at the eighth-grade and above can even fly in the universe freely on their own, directly fighting in space. Such soldiers are greatly welcomed by all powers. Players who managed to get this job can heave a sigh of relief. Once it reaches the late-phase, it is absolutely one of the best jobs there is.”

“Flower spirits: For those that emit fragrance and occasionally manifest petals, the majority would become flower spirits. This job inclined more toward those who are reserved and meticulous. It is said that once one managed to succeed in establishing their forms, their appearances would be extremely beautiful. Flower spirits have the ability to nurture astral beasts and rare plants. The information states that in the later-phase, they can become outstanding beast trainers or botanists. It sounds like it is a job where they can even bring their pets around and fight. The official game station also allowed me to see some models of imposing astral beasts that are simply impressive to the max. Players who love pets would soon feel very blessed!”

“The majority of those that emit green light are usually tree demons. Their appearances are half-human, half-deer. From the information, it’s said that they have the talent to become song priests and also have top-notched arm strength, allowing them to be spear-throwers. Seems like this is a job where one can cultivate both magic and might.”

“It’s very easy to recognize wood spirits and stone spirits. When stone spirits succeeded in taking form, their bodies would be surrounded by rocks and stones. For wood spirits, their bodies would be in the shape of a sphere, and many leaves and veins would grow out from them. These two races incline more toward elemental controllers. I heard that they can directly communicate with elements and nurture high-grade elemental giants. These jobs are considered as powerful mage-type jobs.”

“Everyone knows about druids. In many western games, this popular job wouldn’t be missing. It’s said that in the later-phase, high-grade druids can even transform into hundred-feet tall interstellar magic beasts and forcefully resist against interstellar weaponry, I don’t know if the info is exaggerated or not.”

“Lastly, for watchmen…the information states that this is a very rare job only suited for those with spatial talent. In the later phase, watchmen can develop into assassins. In the later phase, this job would also allow one to be proficient over the controlling of spatial energy. They can teleport to all sorts of complex terrains and infiltrate the most tightly-guarded base. They are the best seedlings to become assassins.”

“For players who take the form of watchmen, their appearances will be the same as before. But they would occasionally teleport a few meters away without notice. So, just a friendly reminder to these players. During the transformation period, it is best to be active in the training grounds. If not, if you accidentally teleported outside the training ground and became a dried elf, you might be eaten by somebody…”

“A few tragic cases had already appeared in the base.”

“Okay, all the relatively common jobs have been explained. Next, I will be talking about some unusual jobs. For example, my job belonged to the classification of an unusual transformation. For types like us, we might be depressed during the initial phase of the transformation. Some would look like iron hammers or even a bar of soap. I, myself was a ball of feathers that looked like a pile of shit. We are simply considered a variation-type among elves. The instructors also wouldn’t say what would you evolve into in the future. Last time, if it wasn’t for me asking the overlord when he passed by, I might not even know that the pile of shit I am actually turned out to be a phoenix seed!”

“Wahaha, the tides have truly turned!”

“So, right here and now, I want to persuade those brothers and sisters in strange forms not to give up. What if…you will transform into a kirin?”

“Over here, I will give a rough analysis. Although the official game station didn’t announce anything, I feel that us variation-types should be the so-called orthodox hidden jobs. Hence, I want to persuade those elves with strange forms to not feel depressed. Maybe, you might become a high-grade variation at the next second? You have to learn from brother soap. Look at him gliding everywhere daily? It’s unknown how happy he is…”

“Lastly, everyone might be concerned about what advantage I would have as a phoenix. Truthfully speaking, I still temporarily cannot see anything. Although the name sounds cool, my appearance still looks like a pile of shit. The improvement in my outer appearance is extremely slow. I heard the instructor said that it might take months for me to shed my current form and even if I succeeded in it, without a professional skill instructor to guide me, I will face great obstruction in evolution. Most probably, this is the balance the game station is implementing. But it is right when I think about it. This is such a large-scale game, how would it not consider issues of balancing? Hence, there’s no need for everyone to be envious of me. I don’t even know if my current situation is a blessing or trouble…”

“Lastly, let me give a summary. The elf race is much more enriching compared to pure warrior races like the green titans. Our game experiences are also completely different. In any case, it is very meaningful. If you don’t have any jobs you really feel like playing, and wish to try a new playing style, the elf race might not be a bad choice. I will also tell everyone another piece of good news. Not long later, the servers would be expanded. At that time, the players lining up to enter would no longer need to queue for so long. I will continue to observe the news about this. At that time, I will inform everyone the instant I learn more things about it. I believe that more players would be able to experience the charm of [Star Ocean] very soon. That is all, Old Lu signing off!!”

Old Master Lu went to post, and the Dawn Evaluation Company immediately pushed his post to the top. In a while, there were already over ten thousand comments when not even five minutes had passed.

[Jobs given based on one’s personality? Is this real? How can a game evaluate my personality? Did they hire a psychologist specially? Also, if the jobs are given based on one’s personality, Old Master Lu is someone whose personality is as ugly as his external appearance, why would he be a phoenix? Shouldn’t he be a pixiu?]

[The one above is correct, I also feel that this explanation isn’t scientific, but it is also not important. This type of randomizing mode is quite creative. I’m actually worried about the problem of server expansion. Is this true or false, please do not lie to us? I’ve been queueing up for an entire month and still cannot enter the game. I feel bitterness in my heart!]

[Aiya, why didn’t you release your strategy guide earlier? I thought I failed in my transformation because there were no changes to my appearance. In addition, because I would occasionally appear in random places, I still thought that the game was bugged. So it turned out that I’m a watchman? Why didn’t you tell me earlier? I ended up teleporting out of the base and became a dried elf and had to start all the way from the beginning. I also have no idea if I can become a watchman again. A job that can teleport sounds really cool!]

[Wa, comrade. I initially also thought that the game was buggy. Damn! This old woman is really very angry now!]

[In any case, what will that bar of soap evolve into in the future? I’m really curious.]

[Yeah. That’s right, I’m curious too. Could it be that it will really become a kirin?]

[Nonsense. You can still forcefully say that the ball of feathers spiraling around could be a phoenix undergoing nirvana. But what the hell do you mean by a bar of soap becoming a kirin?]

[Do you guys think that…he would just be a bar of soap?]

[The poster above is making me laugh to death. This game wouldn’t be such a fraud, right? What special skills would a bar of soap have? 100% pick up rate by people?]

When Xiye saw these comments, he also felt somewhat unbearable. This…in the future, how should he explain to that bar of soap?
