Here to be funny, right?

Ye Kai quickly overcame the Night Cat Demon and picked up three Night Cat Claws, making a total of nine with the six he already had, fulfilling his requirement and leaving him quite satisfied. Additionally, Ye Kai had also gathered four Night Cat Paws, which he didn't need, but knew others did. After helping them secure the dungeon clearance record, a barter trade would likely not be refused.

Thinking this, Ye Kai decisively had Jun Mo Xiao exit the dungeon, while Zhu Yan Xia had already logged off the game. After resting for ten minutes to remove the critical state, he made a trip back to the novice village, learned some skills, and spent all 1255 skill points. Normally, players reach level 20 with only 1250 skill points, but Jun Mo Xiao had an extra five points from a skill book, giving him a slight lead.

After allocating his skill points, he left the novice village and officially set foot on the Glory Continent.

From here on, the system no longer assists in diverting the player population. The Frost Forest was vast, surrounded by players. Many dungeons in Glory don't have a fixed entrance, like the Frost Forest, which itself is a dungeon that can be entered from any direction.

"Where are you guys? I've arrived near the Frost Forest." The area outside the Frost Forest was bustling. After leaving the novice village, market transactions gradually started, and the area outside the Frost Forest became the first market, with many people setting up stalls to do business. As Ye Kai wandered around, he glanced at a couple of stalls, finding the prices to be all over the place. Players who didn't understand the value of their items, fearing selling them too cheap, marked their prices high; knowledgeable players weren't trading rare materials at this time, selling mostly level 20 equipment instead.

However, these pieces of equipment were only attractive to new players who leveled up through quests, as the quests mostly rewarded green gear, which was a tier below the blue gear. Players like Jun Mo Xiao, who leveled up through dungeons, were already fully equipped with blue gear.

After browsing a few stalls without finding anything of interest, Lan He replied with their coordinates. Ye Kai hurried over, and soon, the name Jun Mo Xiao appeared above Lan He and his team, causing the four of them to gasp in surprise. This high-level player from District 10, who had caught their attention, was too trendy, his mix-and-match style of equipment was... what the heck was all this?

The four were dumbfounded as they tried to identify Jun Mo Xiao's gear. In Glory, there's no such thing as inspecting or viewing character information, so players had to rely on their eyes to recognize equipment based on its appearance and details. Jun Mo Xiao was wearing a mix of cloth, leather, chain, and plate armor, all five types.

This style was common in the novice village but super unconventional on the Glory Continent. Because those who leave the novice village are level 20 players who have already chosen their classes, and after class change, it's not that you can't wear mixed equipment, but since each class has its preferred type of gear, most people stick to their class's gear. Occasionally, for specific needs, they might wear a few pieces of other types, but no one like Jun Mo Xiao, who wore all five types from head to toe.

While the four were still puzzled, Ye Kai had already brought Jun Mo Xiao over and put on his headset. "Hello, hello," he tested the sound.

"I can hear you," Lan He responded.

"Hello, everyone," Ye Kai greeted.

"Hello..."

"Let me introduce, Xi Zhou, Deng Hua Ye, Lei Ming Dian Guang, all are elites from our Lan Xi Ge," Lan He introduced the other three.

"Hello, everyone, please wait a moment for me! Sorry," Ye Kai said, then went silent. The other three, taking advantage of Jun Mo Xiao not yet joining the team, furiously typed in the team chat to vent.

"Did you get the wrong person?" Deng Hua Ye asked.

"Nonsense!"

"Hasn't even changed class?" Lei Ming Dian Guang questioned.

"He said he's still looking..."

"With him like this, can he help us secure the record?" Deng Hua Ye was doubtful.

"If we can't, we can't. Our main goal is to gauge this person's depth," Lan He said.

"I don't know about other things, but I can already see the depth of his ID," Lei Ming Dian Guang said.

"What?"

"Jun Mo Xiao, it means 'don't make everyone laugh.' This guy is here to be funny, right?" Lei Ming Dian Guang said.

"Don't judge a book by its cover. He hasn't changed class, so it's normal for him to dress like this," Lan He said, though he wasn't sure if he was also trying to convince himself. It had been many years since he'd seen such a free-spirited style on the Glory Continent.

"This guy not changing class, does he want to play as a solo player?" Xi Zhou, who had been quiet, suddenly spoke up. He was a veteran player and knew there was once an era dominated by solo players.

"Solo player? That's in the past, right? Isn't it because there's no awakening quest at level 50, so they can't level up further?" Deng Hua Ye, not as veteran as Xi Zhou but still well-informed, knew about this past.

At that time, during Glory's 3rd anniversary, the third district opened, and Glory made its first level cap increase update, raising the cap from 50 to 55.

To continue gaining experience after level 50, characters had to complete a class awakening quest. Solo players, without an awakening quest, had their level cap remain at 50. A 5-level gap in Glory, from equipment to skills, was a significant difference, but that was just the beginning. As the level cap continued to increase, the gap between solo players and classed players would endlessly widen. Everyone knew that solo players had lost their significance.

"Maybe he plans to play until level 50 before changing class?" Deng Hua Ye suggested.

"Wouldn't that result in a lack of attribute points?" Lei Ming Dian Guang wondered. Each class has different attribute growth. A level 50 Swordsman and a level 50 Elementalist, their attributes without equipment would be clearly different. Solo players' growth wouldn't match any class, and by level 50, they'd have a unique growth pattern. If they then changed to another class, would the growth from levels 20-50 be adjusted?

"Who knows... Does anyone still care about this issue?" Deng Hua Ye said.

The group fell silent. They were experts, elite experts, but indeed, they had never paid attention to this issue, nor did they need to. Who would reach level 20 and not change class? It had been years since they'd seen anyone do that.

"Why guess? Just ask him directly," Deng Hua Ye, being straightforward, approached Jun Mo Xiao, "Bro, planning to play as a solo player without changing class?"

No response.

"Bro, you there?" Deng Hua Ye called.

"He said to wait, might have stepped away," Lan He said.

"If he's playing as a solo player, did he bring all the weapons?" Lei Ming Dian Guang curiously circled Jun Mo Xiao twice. At the moment, Jun Mo Xiao was unarmed, as his weapon, the Thousand Mechanism Umbrella, was currently placed on the equipment editor by Ye Kai. The moment the equipment was placed, it no longer appeared as it originally did, but the editor automatically displayed the construction diagram of the Thousand Mechanism Umbrella, which was so complex it filled several screen pages.

At this time, Ye Kai was carefully taking the Night Cat Claws he had obtained from the Night Cat Demon in Green Forest and cautiously placing them on the tips of the umbrella ribs that supported the umbrella surface in the construction diagram of the Thousand Mechanism Umbrella.
