Chapter 235 -232: There is No Weakest Profession

Yin Hui was playing crosstalk for Fureya, the simplest and most easy-to-understand kind, testing Fureya’s learning ability.

The moment he completed his job transfer task, he immediately rushed to the Resurrectors’ Cathedral to see Ms. Fureya, whom he had been longing for.

Every day he envied others’ Fureya, and now that he finally had his own Fureya, Yin Hui found that his own Fureya was very different from others’.

The live broadcasts that Yin Hui watched the most during his cloud player days were from Active Nucleus’s official streams, where Mo Shigui’s Fureya made a deep impression on him whenever she appeared.

Why the deep impression? Mo Shigui’s Fureya would have some… subtle expressions when talking with Mo Shigui. Those expressions, beneath Fureya’s delicate appearance, hinted at some of her own considerations.

But his own Fureya didn’t have these subtle expressions, let alone expressions at all!

A real puppet, only her gaze would move with his movements, even her eyes wouldn’t blink.

If this were in a horror game, she would definitely be one of those monsters that suddenly jump out and grab the player.

At this moment, a dangerous thought popped into Yin Hui’s mind: “indeed, others’ Fureya is better.” However, he quickly dismissed the thought.

He had also read forum posts about Fureya discussions. Fureya’s existence seemed a bit like the recent trend of AI pets, which grow over time based on how long they spent with their owner.

So Yin Hui’s Fureya was like a baby now, and the first thing he did was to teach his Fureya how to smile.

“No reaction, which is very normal… it’s also a question whether NPCs can hear the player’s external audio.”

Yin Hui sighed as he sat down on the steps next to Fureya. He was really looking forward to the game Holy Spirit, especially interactions with Fureya in Holy Spirit. Yin Hui liked not just Fureya’s appearance, but the interactivity of this NPC.

While he was still a Holy Spirit cloud player, he watched a video titled “Testing how many lines Fureya actually has.” He watched the entire video, which lasted two full hours, without missing a second.

During the video, Yin Hui wondered… how could an online game design an NPC with such an immersive feel.

But after watching that video, interacting with his own Fureya felt like… a viewer who had been spoiled. No matter what he asked, he could guess what Fureya’s next line would be.

After all, she’s just an NPC.

Just as this thought surfaced in his mind, he felt a tap on his shoulder and turned around abruptly to find Fureya’s silvery-grey eyes close to his.

Fureya stretched out her fingertip and gently poked his cheek, then used the tips of both hands to tug slightly at the corners of her mouth, forcing a smile.

“Kind Spirit, I believe this is what you wanted to see,” Fureya said, then returned to her expressionless state and continued, “You cannot rest now, there are many things to be handled.”

Fureya’s intent was clear, ‘The smile is over, get back to work!’

Yin Hui certainly understood his Fureya’s meaning; he was stunned for a second or two, regretting he hadn’t turned on a recording tool just now, but in the end, he walked out of the Resurrectors’ Cathedral somewhat dazed.

As he emerged from the Resurrectors’ Cathedral, Hai Lan and Jiang Qiao’s translucent figures appeared behind Fureya.

“He seems shocked,” Hai Lan said.

“Not shocked, delighted.”

Jiang Qiao watched Yin Hui’s retreating figure leave the Resurrectors’ Cathedral. This backstage owner of Active Nucleus had caught Jiang Qiao’s attention the most since he had started playing.

“He is a promising investor,” Jiang Qiao opened the chat history of the Holy Spirit Guild’s argument group, which was all discussing the matter of Active Nucleus paying the newcomers.

“Investor?”

“Maybe you wouldn’t understand even if I explained,” Jiang Qiao said.

Just like in the Holy Spirit Guild’s argument group and the other six major guilds, they all questioned whether it was worth it for Yin Hui to pay the newcomers of Holy Spirit?

Yin Hui hadn’t replied with a single word, because he himself couldn’t answer that question. The only ones who could answer… were the Holy Spirit officials! More precisely, only Jiang Qiao!

Jiang Qiao would show the other six guilds, even the whole world… that this act was not only worth it but also a huge gain!

“Let’s go, Hai Lan… Before the otherworld opens, we need to perfect the upcoming main storyline and resolve the food storage issue on Biland Island,” Jiang Qiao said.

……

“So, why did you change your class to Brawler?”

Mo Shigui stood outside the Church of the Resurrected, watching Yin Hui run out. He was currently at an airport and had found a temporary online café to log in.

He logged in to deal with some problems at the nuclear core site and took the opportunity to see if his boss’s class change had been successful.

Yin Hui’s class change was successful, but he hadn’t changed to a Mind Energy Master. Instead, he’d taken on one of the Fighter’s hidden professions, the Brawler.

Before going offline, Yin Hui had been wearing a set of pure white training clothes, exuding a somewhat transcendent aura.

Once he came online, Yin Hui’s outfit turned into a black leather jacket and leather pants… a sort of mix that made you want to cover your face.

“I couldn’t find the NPC to change to a Mind Energy Master in the transformation zone, and I just received a hidden quest to change to Brawler. I checked the forums, and it seems Brawler is a pretty rare class too, not many people play it?” Yin Hui explained.

“It is very rare, even rarer than Mind Energy Master, but compared to Mind Energy Master… it’s not very practical,” Mo Shigui replied.

Mo Shigui now felt like he was looking at his underachieving child, who despite all his nagging, had enrolled in a nationally renowned top university and then, without warning, switched to some no-name college.

“Coach Mo, I know when you say ‘not practical,’ you mean it’s really weak, but I don’t think this class is weak at all,” Yin Hui said.

Brawler, after all, is one of the rarest hidden professions among Fighters!

“Playing as a Mind Energy Master, you can be a damage dealer in your team. Playing as Brawler, you have to take the control role… The role indeed isn’t weak, but we already have a Brawler in the guild who calls himself the Goblin Thrower,” said Mo Shigui.

This chapt𝓮r is updat𝒆d by ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom.

The fun part about Holy Spirit is… every profession has its own style, even one profession can have five or six ways to play; damage isn’t everything, so different professions play different roles in a team.

Moreover, the attributes added by the Holy Spirit’s equipment can even change the mode of skill release, so this game really is full of cunning strategies.

The Brawler profession is endowed with strong crowd control and unusual damage ability, but at the expense of bursts of power which are a notch below other professions, alongside the complexity of execution.

A Mind Energy Master simply needs to throw spheres to deal damage, but a Brawler’s attack method is a whole different playing field. In Brawler’s damage loop includes throwable items, which range from bricks, the most basic throwable item, to darts, poison vials, sand, nets, and even some player-created items like Molotov cocktails and bombs.

“Also another critical point, Yin Hui, I remember you wanted to choose a profession with a strong backstory, and Brawler has one of the weakest backstories among the Fighter series!” Mo Shigui continued.

Brawler, as the name suggests, are a group of hooligans living in the darkest corners of Lionheart City, employing the dirtiest yet most effective methods in combat including poison and sand, sparing no dirty trick to beat their enemies.

Thus, in the backstory of Holy Spirit, Brawlers possess no transcendent powers!

To put it simply… even Magic Thieves would disdain to copy Brawler’s abilities because there’s hardly anything worth copying.

Compared to a Mind Energy Master, a class that marks mythical beasts on their body and possesses thunderous, destructive Mind Energy forces, Brawlers really pale in comparison in the strength of their backstory.

“Is it still possible to change professions now?” Finally, Yin Hui was persuaded by Mo Shigui.

“It’s still possible, all professions can be changed before level twenty. I’ve got another issue to handle at the base, but make sure to choose correctly this time,” Mo Shigui said.

“What’s the issue?”

“That one I joked about in the group before… the NPC that consumes a thousand units of food has awakened, and another force on Biland Island, Crystal Hunter, is likely to start causing trouble for us,” Mo Shigui explained.

Mo Shigui always felt that there was a part missing in the storyline of Biland Island, that of the Crystal Hunters… but now it seemed this missing part of the storyline was about to be completed.

“Regarding bases, I saw in the chat bubble that their guild is really short on food, are we short as well?” Yin Hui asked.

“Short,” Mo Shigui admitted.

Since his boss had asked, Mo Shigui didn’t keep it secret; with the increasing number of NPCs at the base, food was beginning to run out.
