Just like the achievement rewards triggered by the hidden quest earlier, under the 20% reputation gain bonus of the Human faction, Zhang Yi once again received a massive 1200 points of reputation, along with a generous reward of 1 whole Gold Coin!
Indeed, completing achievements is the fastest way to gain reputation and money. From the start of the game until now, just one night has passed, and Zhang Yi's reputation has already reached as much as 2700 points!
While other pyers can barely count the Silver Coins on them, Zhang Yi already possesses 2 Gold Coins!
After completing the css change, Zhang Yi, whose EXP bar was already full, directly leveled up to level 11.
Meanwhile, as the System's Area Announcement was broadcasted, the chat channel of Safe Zone No. 886 became lively once again—
[Ominous Sign] (Male, Level 8 Pyer): "This leveling up is too fast, I'm only level 8 and someone has already changed css!"
[Fallen God] (Male, Level 8 Pyer): "The rewards are so generous, my assets in my bag are just a few Silver Coins, and he actually got a Gold Coin reward, he's struck it rich!"
[I Want to Become Heaven] (Male, Level 9 Pyer): "Damn, it's that Yinuo Qingcheng again! I remember the first person to trigger the achievement of entering the Safe Zone was him, and I seriously suspect that the guy who triggered the hidden quest was also him!"
[Mouse Loves Cat] (Female, Level 8 Pyer): "Yinuo Qingcheng is so amazing, triggering three achievements at once, I really want to meet him~"
On the other side, King's Glory, who had just received a quest from an NPC in Hope Town and was preparing to level up to 10 to complete his css change and seek revenge on Yinuo Qingcheng, cursed inwardly when he heard the Area Announcement from the sky: "Damn! If it weren't for being killed by you twice and losing two levels, I would have been the first to reach level 10 in Zone 886!"
At this moment, King's Return, standing beside King's Glory, said: "Captain, he changed to Beastmaster! Before Apocalypse unched, it was called the 'Pay-to-Win' css on the forums, you need money to develop it!"
King's Glory snorted coldly: "That kid looks like a poor bastard, definitely not a rich guy. Can he afford to py Beastmaster? Without money, the Beastmaster css is trash, with low attribute growth, and frailer than a Priest!"
"Hahaha, let's see how you use that trash Beastmaster css to stand against me!"
Mentor Hall.
After completing the css change, the Beastmaster Mentor gave Zhang Yi six Demonic Beast Eggs, corresponding to the six types: Warrior, Tank, Mage, Archer, Support, and Assassin. Zhang Yi could choose one to hatch and get a corresponding type of basic Demonic Beast.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Yi skipped this step entirely, not choosing any of the six Demonic Beast Eggs.
Even the Beastmaster Mentor was a bit surprised: "Warrior, Demonic Beasts are the soul of a Beastmaster. Without the assistance of a Demonic Beast, a Beastmaster will find it difficult to move in the Apocalypse world."
Zhang Yi remained firm in his decision: "Thank you, Mentor, but I don't need these Demonic Beasts."
Because Zhang Yi knew that the basic Demonic Beasts given by the Mentor upon completing the css change were all D-quality with a qualification below 50, which were practically trash. They were supposed to assist the Beastmaster, but in reality, they were just a burden. Zhang Yi didn't want such a trash Demonic Beast to share his resources.
Zhang Yi had already pnned: before reaching level 30, he wouldn't use any Demonic Beasts unless he could obtain a top-tier one during this period. Otherwise, Zhang Yi would use all his resources to strengthen himself, and once his strength was up, he would then focus on Demonic Beasts.
Of course, another reason Zhang Yi made this decision was that somewhere, a super top-tier Demonic Beast was waiting for him to capture. Compared to that, these low-level Demonic Beasts couldn't even catch the eye of Zhang Yi, who had been reborn from eight years after the Apocalypse.
However, Zhang Yi's current ability was not enough to get that top-tier Demonic Beast, so he had to wait for a while.
Zhang Yi continued to interact with the Beastmaster Mentor to learn basic skills.
Every pyer, upon changing css, has three basic white Skill Books avaible for purchase.
The three white Beastmaster Skill Books in front of Zhang Yi were: a control-type [Freeze Spell] with a 70% damage coefficient and a 1.5-second freeze effect, with a 12-second cooldown.
The second was a defense-type [Magic Shield], which applies a shield with 80% of magic attack power to oneself, sting 5 seconds, with a 20-second cooldown.
The st was a pure output-type [Fireball Spell] with a 110% damage coefficient and a 5-second cooldown.
Each book was priced at 10 Silver Coins.
In essence, the Beastmaster is just a Mage, but with much lower attribute growth and skill damage. The Mage's white-quality Fireball Spell has a damage coefficient of 130%!
Zhang Yi was on an output path, so without hesitation, he chose the [Fireball Spell] from the three Skill Books, spending 10 Silver Coins, which not everyone could afford at this stage.
After acquiring the Skill Book, he immediately used it and learned the Fireball Spell.
At Zhang Yi's level 11, using the Fireball Spell consumed 7 Energy Points per cast.
At this moment, two somewhat painful System notifications sounded in Zhang Yi's ear—
"Ding~ Due to your css not matching your equipment, the [Silver Moon Bow] has been automatically unequipped and pced in your backpack!"
"Ding~ Due to your css not matching your skills, [Fatal Strike] has been automatically converted into a Skill Book and pced in your backpack!"
Zhang Yi had naturally anticipated this issue; once he changed to Beastmaster, the top-tier weapon [Silver Moon Bow] he had just acquired and the skill [Fatal Strike] would be unusable.
Fatal Strike was a minor issue, just a white skill, but the most painful loss was that top-tier Silver Moon Bow.
Zhang Yi made this decision for the bigger picture.
Because his past life experience taught Zhang Yi: in this post-apocalyptic world, no one is worth trusting except yourself.
However, the reality is that in many situations, no matter how strong you are personally, you must have teammates by your side. When you can't rely on other pyers, only the Beastmaster's Demonic Beasts can be trusted.
Luckily, equipment like [Guardian Armor], which doesn't have css requirements, could still be used, even though a Beastmaster wearing armor might look a bit odd.
In addition, Zhang Yi's attribute growth also changed significantly—
First Transition Beastmaster Basic Attribute Growth:
Intelligence Growth: 9 stars
Endurance Growth: 7 stars
Agility Growth: 6 stars
Stamina Growth: 7 stars
First Transition Beastmaster Css Talent: Every 3 points of Intelligence grants an additional 5 Energy Points.
