Death Incarnation - Death God heard Gu Xi's command, and without any hesitation, stepped forward.
With a new pair of arms having grown on the back of the Death Incarnation - Death God, the left hand reached toward the ground, lifting the Ghost Copper Curse Bell in its hand.
This pair of rear arms raised the Ghost Copper Curse Bell upward, the bell lightly shaking. Clearly, the curse ability of Death Incarnation - Death God had been further strengthened.
As for the Yinfeng Robe initially acquired, Gu Xi currently had no use for it and simply put it away.
Seeing that Gu Xi had dealt with a few items, Liu Baiwei also beckoned to Gu Xi.
"Looks like your fortune isn't bad. Without even graduating, you have such a powerful Undead under your command. It seems you're quite the prominent figure at school."
"Not too bad, just a chief."
Gu Xi raised his head and lifted his left hand, displaying the Champion Ring.
Although the styles of the Champion Rings from each school vary, their function is actually the same: to prove that he is a chief from a certain school and the top student of this class.
Liu Baiwei hadn't expected Gu Xi to emerge unintentionally from the depths of the game.
Seeing this Champion Ring, Liu Baiwei didn't say anything more.
In a school, a chief is a potential candidate for Level 45 and above.
To have such a level is normal.
His behavior this time was correct.
Noticing the change in Liu Baiwei's attitude, Gu Xi smiled and swiftly began to inquire about some matters from Liu Baiwei.
Being someone with a knack for Diplomacy Skill, Gu Xi would never let a conversation go cold.
Although Liu Baiwei didn't follow the Undead path, he was on the Wind Element Shaman route.
Nevertheless, he had reached Level 29, soon aiming to reach Level 30.
Some things could be seen very clearly from a higher vantage point.
At least, he could point out one or two issues with Gu Xi's situation.
"I'm not sure what path the Undead Mage follows, but I can tell you clearly, getting to Level 20 is relatively easy, but if you want to reach Level 30, you must have both specialization and breadth in your Skills.
I suffered from a lack of breadth and failed to reach Level 30, expending a large amount of Life instead.
Otherwise, at my Level 29, I could have lived at least six or seven thousand years, but now I've only lived over a thousand years and am near death."
"Can you elaborate a bit?"
Gu Xi was somewhat curious.
"Of course, specialization here means once you have chosen a path, never turn back. Don't think about dual-path or multi-path cultivation.
That would only waste your time. Pushing forward bravely is the only choice.
You see, I took the Shaman path, but even within Shamanism, there are different systems, and I've pursued the Elemental Shaman route.
That is my specialization.
Yet, in terms of breadth, I suffered greatly because of the circumstances in Qianfang City, which initially forced me to take the Wind Element route.
The four major Elements haven't reached a balance, I…"
At this moment, Gu Xi suddenly interrupted Liu Baiwei, "Wait."
"What is it?"
Liu Baiwei looked at Gu Xi in confusion.
"That sentence just now!"
"The four major Elements haven't reached a balance, what's wrong with that?"
Gu Xi didn't say much, directly standing up. Behind him, the Equipment Carrier with the Yellow Springs Dragon Robe and the Spirit Lamp quickly appeared. Gu Xi scanned back and forth on himself through its vision.
Seeing these actions, Liu Baiwei was also a bit puzzled.
"What's happening with you?"
Gu Xi lifted his head, "The previous world I was in was an Elemental world balancing Earth, Water, Wind, and Fire. In those four major Elements, Earth and Wind had died, maintaining a balance between Water and Fire.
I took on a quest from the Flame Lord to deliver something to the Sea Giant.
After that, the Flame Lord gave me a Teleportation Gate to escape from that world. I feared there was some intrigue, so I didn't use it to leave, instead following my usual path.
But a path that had been smooth for me before became problematic at that time.
It transported me from my usual spot to Qianfang City here.
I didn't know what was going on before.
Just now, when I heard you say the four major Elements hadn't achieved balance, I recalled and suspected that being sent here was because of that reason."
Upon hearing this, Liu Baiwei couldn't help but look over at Gu Xi.
His means of probing were much stronger than Gu Xi's, Gu Xi only felt a gust of ominous wind blowing directly at him, as if his whole body were blown through by the wind.
Then Liu Baiwei suddenly made a point on Gu Xi's body.
Gu Xi only felt a chilling coldness as if he had fallen into an Ice Cave.
However, at this moment, Liu Baiwei withdrew his hand, saying, "Alright, it's resolved, did you consume something from that big boss?"
"A cup of Fire of Life, after consuming it, my Level increased by 1."
"No wonder, the balance in your body has been disrupted, the fire has become more vigorous. If the fire doesn't dissipate, you might experience inflammation soon.
Otherwise, there's no problem. That person probably didn't intend to harm you, given your situation, they wouldn't even look at you.
That person's strength should be at Level 44, and is at a crucial moment planning to reach Level 45.
You previously said he wanted to upgrade with the Sea Giant, which is probably just an excuse.
I guess he wanted you to attract the Sea Giant's attention, leading the Sea Giant out of their world.
To ensure the Sea Giant would fall for it, the Boundary-Breaking Drill he gave you was probably part of the component, with some arrangements on you.
The Boundary-Breaking Drill opening the Teleportation Gate is normal, but once you enter, the setup on you would activate, drawing the Teleportation Gate to send a Level 44 Sea Giant to his designated place.
Imagine how much energy that would require, and you can understand it.
You took another route using some methods.
The remaining energy in your body naturally caused some changes, affecting your teleportation without the Boundary-Breaking Drill, sending you here to Qianfang City.
This was a stroke of luck, if that Flame Lord had gone further with his schemes, you might have exploded during the teleportation process."
Gu Xi, being quite clever, quickly understood Liu Baiwei's explanation.
It seemed this disaster turned into a fortune for him.
At this moment, Gu Xi had no regrets about abandoning the Teleportation Gate opened by the Boundary-Breaking Drill.
He didn't want to gamble on whether the place beyond the Teleportation Gate was good or bad.
Besides, he had already gained Qianfang City's greatest advantage right in front of him.
Stepping out of the depths of the game into the real world ahead of others was something he had already achieved.
From this perspective, Gu Xi had already surpassed many people still in the depths of the game.
Not to mention that Gu Xi had already touched upon the post-Level 20 world.
He now started from a higher point than those people.
