“character attribute test completed. strength 20, agility 30, intelligence 20. recommended classes: hunter, assassin! recommended races: elves, dark elves, humans, demons, vampires, shadow race!”

after the fairy finished speaking, a group of characters appeared in front of lao yao. they were all based on lao yao’s appearance.

“are there only these classes and races to choose from?” lao yao asked.

“no, this is just a recommendation. given that your agility rating is perfect, you can also choose the warrior and mage class, as well as other races. do you want to choose another class?”

“no need, i’ll choose the agility class! i want to choose the assassin class!” lao yao shook his head. the appearance of an assassin holding a pair of daggers in front of him made lao yao feel a sense of familiarity, just like when he held the canine tooth in his hand…

as lao yao chose a class, the hunter-like character with a bow and arrow among these character models disappeared, leaving only the assassin-like character.

“let me introduce the talents of the various races to you!” the fairy casually pointed, and the human figure stepped forward and waved the dagger in his hand.

“humans are gifted with learning abilities. the proficiency of various skills has an additional 5%!”

seeing that lao yao did not say anything, the little demon continued to introduce.

“elf race, agility has an additional bonus, talent is affinity, pet recruitment success rate increased by 5%.”

lao yao rubbed his chin and thought about it. the elves were probably more suitable for hunters, right? hence, he did not say anything and waited for the introduction of the other races.

“dark elves have additional agility bonuses. their talent is night, and their combat strength in the dark environment will not decrease.”

this was a little interesting. it was said that in the era of the gods, there was a difference between day and night. during the day, their combat power was normal, but at night, not only would their attack power decrease, but their defense would also decrease. if they chose the dark elves, it would be very advantageous to fight in the night.

“demons have an additional strength bonus. their talent is weakening. all negative skills’ effects are increased by 5%.”

this demon race should be a race that corresponded to the god race, right? if the talent of the demon race was weakening, then the god race should increase the blessing effect.

“vampires. agility has an additional bonus. talent is lifesteal. when he attacks normally, 1% of the damage will be converted to your own health.”

amongst these races, other than the dark elves and vampires, the races weren’t good choices for the assassin profession. however, whether it was the dark elves with dark skin and eyes like cataracts, or the pale-skinned vampire gigolo with fangs exposed, lao yao didn’t really like them. therefore, he planned to take a look at the shadow race at the end. after all, this shadow race character model was comparatively more to his liking! this fellow’s chauvinism was acting up again…

however, the following introduction of the shadow race surprised lao yao.

“shadow race, privileged bonus race. those with perfect agility evaluation can choose it. agility has an additional bonus. talent ability: shadow, stealth skill permanently +1. talent skill: shadow follower. when you enter the target’s shadow, you can follow it. duration: 30 seconds. you can’t be seen through by any skills!”

was there any other choice!?

after reading the introduction of the shadow race, lao yao almost instantly decided that his race would be the shadow race!

although the shadow race didn’t have any powerful damage output compared to the dark elves who didn’t lose their combat power at night and the vampires who had the vampire’s blood-sucking talent, after lao yao’s recent study of online games, he understood very well that most assassins had extremely high instant damage output, but their ability to continue fighting was extremely low. once they couldn’t kill their opponents during the attack time, they could only wait for death.

however, the shadow race’s innate skill could very well avoid this situation. if he realized that he couldn’t win and hid in their opponent’s shadow, no one would be able to do anything to him.

no wonder it was called a privileged race. such a talent was definitely a very impressive talent…

“are you sure you want to create a shadow assassin?” the fairy asked lao yao. after lao yao nodded, all the other character models disappeared, leaving only the shadow race models.

lao yao carefully sized up the character model that was created with his appearance. he knew that after entering the game, he would show it to others in this appearance.

the shadow race model in front of him looked no different from a human. the only difference was that his eyes were pitch-black, as if they could not reflect light, giving off a strange feeling.

however, lao yao was very satisfied with this. apart from his eyes, at least this character model was not much different from lao yao himself.

“please name your character!” the fairy said.

“lao yao!” lao yao didn’t even think about it and directly gave out his name. since he didn’t need to use the name of the studio, he could name it according to lao yao’s preferences.

“do you need to make adjustments to your character’s appearance?” little fairy asked.

“no, there’s no need. it’s fine like this!” lao yao replied with a smile.

“alright, the character creation is complete. respected player, please wait for the server to open before entering the game!” after saying this, the fairy directly cut off lao yao’s internet connection and kicked him out.

“damn you! just a moment ago, you were still calling me a respected player. now, you’re kicking me out. is this how you respect players?”

lao yao cursed and took off his helmet. he sat up in bed, put on his slippers, and walked out of his room.

in the living room below, the girls from silver maple leaf studio had already gathered around the table and were chattering about the scene when they created their characters.

seeing that lao yao had only come out at this time, yang yongle invited him to sit down before asking curiously, “why did it take so long? we created a character in less than half an hour, but you actually used an entire hour?! don’t tell me you’ve been playing chess with the computer?!”

“really? i didn’t even notice the time! it’s actually been so long!” lao yao scratched his head. “as for playing chess, i didn’t play at all!”

during the test, he basically had no concept of time.

“hey hey, weird uncle! tell me about your class and character attributes!” ning jing, the little chili, came up to him.

lao yao was speechless. “what do you mean by weird uncle?! i’m only 27! if you say that again, i’ll get angry!”

“if you don’t want to tell me, then don’t!” ning jing pursed her lips and asked, “tell me your race, class, and character attributes!”

“eh? why are you so concerned?” lao yao asked curiously, “what do you want to do?”

“hmph!” ning jing puffed out her chest proudly and said to yang yongle, “big sister, you tell him!”

before lao yao could recover from ning jing’s trembling bosoms, yang yongle covered his mouth and laughed. “ning jing’s strength attribute was maxed out during the attribute test and she chose the warrior class. look, she was showing off to us just now! she asked you to tell us your attributes just to show off to you!”

“you!? full strength!?” lao yao was shocked, as if he had seen the most unimaginable thing in the world…

“hey! what’s that look in your eyes!?” ning jing couldn’t help but fly into a rage when she saw lao yao’s expression. “i’m telling you, i’m a level 6 karate practitioner. what’s so strange about getting full strength!? i’m warning you, if you dare to peep in the future, i’ll teach you a lesson!”

after saying that, she even waved her fist at lao yao in a show of force.

“jingjing, don’t be like this…” meng di blushed and tugged at the corner of her shirt.

“let go, didi! how can i not warn him?” ning jing refused to give up.

lao yao placed his hands behind his head and said gloomily, “don’t worry! i want to play a game with you, right? we’re all in the game. are you afraid that i’ll run away?”

ning jing was stunned for a moment. she tilted her head and thought for a moment. then, she suddenly slapped her palm and said, “that’s right. why didn’t i think of that? as long as i see you in the game, i’m not afraid that you’ll run into our room while we’re playing!”

lao yao’s face darkened. wasn’t this woman too crazy?

yang yongle and the girls burst out laughing when they saw ning jing do that. then, she whispered to lao yao, “don’t mind her. she’s just like this. she treats everyone like this.”

lao yao waved his hand to show that he didn’t mind. he asked, “what professions did you choose?”

“i chose mage. as for the other sisters, apart from ning jing who chose warrior, three chose priest, three hunters, three mages, and one chose assassin. what about you? what’s your class?”

“me? i also chose assassin!” lao yao replied. he began to search for the girl who might be an assassin among the girls. finally, his gaze locked on the face of a girl with a calm expression.

“your guess is really accurate. that’s wang ke. she chose the assassin profession,” yang yongle said in a low voice.

seeing lao yao look over, wang ke also looked at him. his expression was still very calm as he nodded at him.

“hehe, interesting girl…” lao yao smiled and didn’t say anything else.

seeing that it was almost midnight, the girls joked for a while before getting up and returning to their rooms, preparing to start the game.

“my name is maple leaf lele in the game. add me as a friend in the game!” after saying this, yang yongle got up and returned to his room.

“lele? i remember!” lao yao stretched and prepared to enter the game…
