Chapter 1869 1869: Closing the Stable Door After the Horse Has Bolted

True masters are not just defined by their operations and attributes; the skill system is also a crucial part.

In the face of opponents of the same level, only unexpected, unfamiliar skills can leave them with no clues.

The Holy Hall team has done exceptionally well in this regard.

Whether it's the Gravity Sorcerer or the Space Mage, they are both surprising presences.

Of course, the Crowd of Misfits Team also has several hidden professions.

Out of the seven hero professions, four are in the Crowd of Misfits Team.

However, this group of guys mostly enjoys causing trouble and stealing bosses, while making a little money on the side, and has never considered participating in any competitions. Therefore, the advantages of their hidden professions have not been fully developed.

Hidden branch professions and hero professions are completely different from regular professions; regular professions have a well-established skill system, and at that level, one can learn advanced skills from their mentors at any time.

As for other rare skills, they must be obtained from bosses or characters.

However, the skill system for hidden professions has always been incomplete from the start...

Apart from a few skills learned initially, the rest must be self-developed; if they can't get them, they have to learn skills from regular professions. Hidden branch professions are worse off, as they can only learn common skills from regular professions.

Because of this, while hidden professions are powerful, they also have numerous limitations.

After all, developing equipment and skills is a very energy-consuming task.

A person's energy is ultimately limited; while pursuing money for equipment, they naturally cannot focus on perfecting their own profession's skill system.

Thus, even the strongest member of the Quan Zhen Sect, Wang Yu, does not possess many rare skills, let alone others.

Fortunately, everyone's hero professions allow them to learn regular skills; otherwise, their hidden profession characters would have been wasted by this group of guys.

At this point, someone is bound to ask: How come the Holy Hall team has such a complete skill system?

It's a joke; the Holy Hall team has the support of a guild with tens of thousands of members behind it. Resources like equipment and potions are not a concern for the Holy Hall team; they simply pick the best, and this allows them ample time to develop their skills.

This is also why so many top masters need to join large guilds; the power of numbers is not only reflected in combat strength but also in the ease of carrying out tasks. With a professional team to provide resources, a lot of time can be saved to do many things.

If the Quan Zhen Sect also had tens of thousands of followers, Wang Yu's group's skill trees would definitely be scarier than the Holy Hall team's.

There's nothing to be done; who wouldn't want to be more high-profile, but their strength does not permit it.

Ultimately, it still comes down to insufficient foundation and inadequate infrastructure.

Before this, the members of the Quan Zhen Sect never felt that having tens of thousands of followers was advantageous; on the contrary, having too many people often felt quite stupid. At this moment, everyone finally felt the disadvantage of their thin foundation.

"It's too late to make a last-minute effort now, isn't it?"

Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but speak up.

"Eh…" Hearing everyone say this, Fearless suddenly paused and said, "Not necessarily."

After speaking, Fearless looked at Wang Yu and the others and asked, "You four, have you learned all the skills you can learn?"

"Uh… it seems not…"

At Fearless's question, apart from Wang Yu, the others all showed a hint of embarrassment.

Skills are not about having more; rather, it's about having skills that suit oneself.

Skills require energy to level up in proficiency. Generally, everyone has a skill tree that suits them and focuses on leveling up those specific skills.

Expert players even have their unique skill combinations; having too many skills can complicate things.

Hero professions can learn all branch skills within their profession; there are plenty of skills they can learn. Except for Wang Yu, who is a master of various martial arts, ordinary players would find it overwhelming to learn so many skills. Therefore, although Spring Halo and others can learn many skills, they haven't learned that many.

"Having more skills doesn't hurt!" Fearless said calmly. "You still have one night; it's enough time for you to adapt to all the skills. You might very well need them tomorrow."

"What about us?"

Ling Longmeng and Ming Du asked from the side. Though they weren't hero professions, they were hidden branches and could not learn many regular skills.

"Old Meng, you appear less often, and the opponent isn't familiar with you. As for Ming Du…" Fearless glanced at Ming Du and said, "Why are you causing trouble?"

Damn, when it comes to shameless scoundrels, Ming Du definitely ranks number one in the Quan Zhen Sect. He's the only mage in the guild and even a disciple of the renowned Grand Mage Reinuo. Although he isn't a hero profession, he's hardly different from one. Usually, when doing dungeons, quests, or farming bosses, all mage equipment and skills are taken by this guy.

To put it bluntly, with Ming Du's attributes, it's hard to find someone in the entire game more overpowered than him. His skill completeness is even more comprehensive than Wang Yu's... His lack of strength is purely a matter of operation, unrelated to other factors.

After some discussion, the members of the Crowd of Misfits Team finally realized where they fell short compared to top experts.

Though making a last-minute effort might be a bit late, it is not entirely useless.

Closing the stable door after the horse has bolted, it's still timely to understand where the problems lie.

Once they understood the situation, everyone hurriedly logged into the game to do what they needed to do.

*Knock, knock, knock!*

Just as Wang Yu was about to log into the game with nothing else to do, a series of knocks sounded from outside the door.

"?"

Hearing the knocking, Wang Yu was a bit puzzled.

In this foreign land, where he was unfamiliar, he didn't have any acquaintances. Who could it be at this time?

*Creak…*

Feeling confused, Wang Yu opened the door.

"Hi! Sir Iron Bull!"

At that moment, a blond-haired, blue-eyed man greeted Wang Yu in broken Mandarin at the door: "I'm really sorry to disturb you at this time."

"It's you?"

Wang Yu recognized the man before him; it was Uranus, the leader of the Pantheon, who had met Wang Yu several times before.

However, Wang Yu was also quite puzzled by this guy's sudden visit.

They weren't familiar enough... they had only met a few times.

"What do you want?" Wang Yu asked, puzzled.

"Of course I have something to discuss, can I come in?" Uranus asked with a smile.

"Well… that might not be convenient." Wang Yu glanced inside the room.

The room wasn't just his; having someone who could potentially be an enemy come in required consulting the other members.

"Just say whatever you need to say at the door; we're afraid of media misunderstandings!"

Just when Wang Yu was unsure how to refuse, Fearless's voice came from behind.
