"Let's go. Not everything is as simple as it seems on the surface. Do you think the country has no backup plans? Of course not. Their capabilities are far greater than we imagine, they just lack high-level combat power for now!"
"I see! Master, how do you know so much?"
"Otherwise, why am I your master and not you my master? Let's go. We agreed to celebrate for you. You pick the place, and I'll pay!"
Chang Sheng wanted to politely decline, but Dou Youyou had no reservations.
"I know a delicious seafood restaurant. After playing the game for so long, I really want to try it. Master, you're not going back on your word, are you?"
Zhang Pingfan tapped Dou Youyou's head.
"When have I ever gone back on my word? Do you think I'm afraid you'll bankrupt me!"
"Hehe, I have to call Qing Yu!"
"Yes, and why not call your sister too? We can't leave her home alone!"
"Master is the most thoughtful. Why don't you take my sister as a disciple too? Look how pitiful my sister is!"
Zhang Pingfan smiled wryly and shook his head.
He had already had Dou Junwan's aptitude assessed. It was indeed not very good.
Even if he took her as a disciple, her future development would not be great.
It might even have a counterproductive effect.
"Do you think I take disciples randomly? Not everyone is suitable to be my disciple. For example, your sister is not quite qualified!"
Dou Youyou couldn't quite understand. Her sister was already very formidable in her eyes, so why wasn't she qualified? Was she not even as good as herself?
"Master, why?"
"There's no 'why.' If it's not suitable, it's not suitable. If I were to forcibly take her as a disciple, and later her achievements were lower than yours, wouldn't that hurt her even more?"
Dou Youyou lowered her head. Her thoughts were not as far-reaching as her master's. As her master said, it was indeed true. She shouldn't impose her own ideas on her sister.
"Master, I understand!"
Before long, everyone gathered at the seafood restaurant chosen by Dou Youyou.
It was a rare occasion for them to dine out together, and everyone ate quite happily. Dou Youyou, in particular, was like a live wire. Fortunately, they were in a private room; otherwise, Dou Youyou's image would have plummeted if they were in the main hall.
Tian Qi Huang had also obtained a test qualification. His assessment was also quite thrilling.
However, his assessment was not as smooth as Dou Youyou's and Chang Sheng's.
After finally defeating a high-level demon slave, Tian Qi Huang felt completely powerless when facing a king-level demon slave.
His final rating was High-level General. However, even so, it still attracted recruitment from the on-site staff.
Although Tian Qi Huang eventually refused them, he found it hard to imagine that when facing a king-level demon slave, he could barely breathe, yet Dou Youyou managed to kill two king-level demon slaves.
"May I ask, what was the player named Chang Sheng's rating title?"
"His test was slightly earlier than yours. His test rating is the same as his senior sister Dou Youyou's, Intermediate War God!"
As expected, it was as he thought. This Chang Sheng was not simple. He hadn't expected his ability to be so strong.
Although he had never met the other disciples of the village chief besides Dou Youyou,
He believed that the village chief's disciples couldn't be bad. And as he thought, they were indeed not bad, and their abilities were extremely strong.
"Thank you!"
Tian Qi Huang left alone, deep in thought. He had initially thought that since he also had a hidden profession, his gap with them shouldn't be that large. Now, it seemed the gap was too significant.
"I want to become stronger, I want to become even stronger!"
As time went by.
More and more players reached level 50.
At the same time, players began their test assessments.
Those who obtained the High-level General rating were outstanding individuals, and their numbers were very scarce.
Most people were only around the level of High-level Warrior. Reaching General was already considered an expert.
In this regard, Dou Youyou and the others were like legends, utterly incomparable to them.
Furthermore, after reaching level 50 in the game, players went to Barbarian City. There, they were met with disappointment.
The small monsters there were practically deadly. The unbelievable difficulty caused them to choose to stay in the level 60 area of Pingfan City.
However, soon, players from the Heavenly God Sect pointed out that to enter Barbarian City at level 50, one must obtain the exclusive equipment of the Black Goat.
The reference was the Black Goat's exclusive equipment that Dou Youyou wore.
With such crucial information, players at level 50 certainly wouldn't let it go. However, they soon discovered another problem: they found the Black Goat but couldn't defeat it.
Even when several players teamed up to hunt the Black Goat, not only was the efficiency low, but the player death rate was also very high.
In the end, no one was willing to hunt the Black Goat because everyone knew they couldn't defeat it.
Even Tian Qi Huang could only shake his head helplessly, as even he couldn't defeat it.
"Dou Youyou, how do you defeat this Black Goat? If you can sell me the strategy, the price is definitely not an issue!"
In desperation, Tian Qi Huang had to ask Dou Youyou for advice, as establishing a foothold in Barbarian City required obtaining this exclusive equipment.
"We are all members of the Heavenly God Sect, and we are all our own people from now on. This is not a secret that cannot be revealed. Everyone will know from now on: focus on strengthening and demonization. As long as these two aspects are done well, you can basically tank the Black Goat!"
Tian Qi Huang finally understood. No wonder Dou Junwan had been collecting strengthening materials and demonization materials some time ago, and was still collecting them.
So, they had discovered this information.
"I see. If I had known this earlier, I wouldn't have suffered so much. Thanks. No wonder I said your entire set of equipment is demonized, and your lowest enhancement level is plus 8. You should have a very easy time in Barbarian City, right?"
"Yes, I feel that in this game, reaching Barbarian City is basically the pinnacle. Going further will just be about getting better equipment and leveling up. I can't think of anything else it could be."
Tian Qi Huang also nodded. The map of Barbarian City was indeed difficult, but with this piece of information, Barbarian City was no longer challenging.
"That's right. If strengthening and demonization are pushed to the limit, then there really isn't much left to play for. If we want to continue playing, it can only be about leveling up. I don't know how much benefit the game will bring in the later stages, especially the pet system, which currently seems useless!"
Dou Youyou looked at the rabbit beside her. Its name, "God Slayer Rabbit," sounded impressive, but it hadn't provided her with much help so far.
After so much nurturing, the rabbit had indeed grown quite a bit, but its abilities had not shown any improvement.
