Healing to Kill

[Talent: Yin-Yang Reversal (Unique)]

[Grade: ?]

[Effect: Can apply the talent Yin-Yang Reversal to an existing skill, altering its characteristics to produce the opposite effect. This effect scales with the player's level.]

Jiang Chen was momentarily stunned as he looked at his Talent Panel.

In [Gods], the grade and color of a player's talent are correlated, with only five types: gray, green, blue, purple, and orange.

However, the talent [Yin-Yang Reversal] on his panel was flowing with black and white colors!

Right now, Jiang Chen's mind was just like the grade section—a big question mark.

I don't understand it, but I'm deeply shocked.

"This talent makes skills have the opposite effect."

Jiang Chen stared at the talent description, calmly thinking, and murmured, "Opposite effect... Does that mean if I use a damage skill, it will turn into a healing skill?"

Thinking of this, Jiang Chen felt a bit off.

What kind of crappy talent is this?

Is it meant to mess with people?

No!

What if my class is...

Jiang Chen seemed to think of something, his eyes growing brighter, and the smile on his face becoming more pronounced.

At this moment, the game prompt sounded:

"Ding! Please choose your initial class."

There were seven initial classes: Warrior, Mage, Priest, Summoner, Assassin, Archer, and Knight.

"Priest!"

Jiang Chen didn't hesitate and directly chose the healer.

The talent [Yin-Yang Reversal] could make skills have the opposite effect, meaning healing could turn into damage!

And the healing ability of a Priest is unquestionable, almost a must-have class for any team.

Moreover, Jiang Chen had a backup plan:

Priests have two career paths. Even if the talent effect deviates from his understanding, he could later switch to a Judicator with decent damage output!

"Ding! Class selection successful, please name your character."

"Mortal Dust."

Jiang Chen chose to use his previous game ID.

"Ding! Naming successful, would you like to adjust your appearance? You can adjust it by 1% to 10%."

In his previous life, Jiang Chen didn't adjust his appearance.

He only found out later that the game's attributes could be proportionally transferred to reality.

And appearance could also be transferred.

In other words, if you enhance your looks in the game, your real-life appearance could also improve.

Many who didn't enhance their looks deeply regretted it!

This time, Jiang Chen wouldn't miss out.

"Enhance looks by 10%!"

"Sorry, the system evaluation shows your appearance threshold is too high to enhance by 10%. Based on the evaluation, you can enhance up to 2.05%. Would you like to proceed?"

What does that mean?

Is it targeting handsome guys?

Jiang Chen pursed his lips, "Enhance it, better than nothing."

"Ding! Adjustment complete."

"Dear player 'Mortal Dust', you will now be transported to the Novice Village. May your name resound throughout the world of Gods!"

As the ethereal voice faded.

In the hall, a flash of white light appeared before Jiang Chen's eyes. Accompanied by a slight feeling of weightlessness, he vanished from his original spot.

***

Moments later, Jiang Chen arrived at the Novice Village square.

The area was bustling with people, with white lights flashing occasionally as new players entered.

New players were all dressed in basic, close-fitting clothes with no attributes, serving only to cover them.

"This world feels so real, the touch and visuals are just like reality. I can even smell the flowers!"

"I got a rare blue talent randomly. Am I about to take off?"

"Anyone want to team up to kill monsters? I can't hold back my primal power anymore!"

"Clearly a newbie, don't you know to find NPCs first to see if there are any quests?"

New players were all excited as they entered the game.

Jiang Chen casually glanced around, calmly opened his backpack, and found two pieces of novice equipment inside.

[Novice Robe (White): Defense +1.]

[Novice Wooden Staff (White): Attack Power +1.]

After equipping the novice gear, Jiang Chen opened his panel.

[Player: Mortal Dust]

[Talent: Yin-Yang Reversal (Unique)]

[Class: Priest]

[Level: 1]

[Health Points: 100 (Constitution × 10)]

[Mana Points: 100 (Intelligence × 10)]

[Spell Power: 20 (Intelligence × 2)]

[Attack Power: 6 (Strength × 0.5)]

[Defense: 6 (Constitution × 0.5)]

[Constitution: 10, Strength: 10, Agility: 10, Intelligence: 10.]

Every player's initial four attributes are 10 points each, but the bonus ratios differ by class.

For example, Warriors don't have a spell power bonus, but their Attack Power = Strength × 1.5, Defense = Constitution × 1...

Meanwhile, Assassins and Archers get attack power bonuses from their Agility attribute.

After closing the panel, Jiang Chen looked at the skill bar.

Each class has its own initial skills.

Priest's initial skill:

[Healing (One-Star): Restores 20 + (100% Spell Power) Health Points to the target. Cooldown: 5 seconds. Mana Cost: 5.]

[Note: You can apply the talent Yin-Yang Reversal to this skill to produce the opposite effect. (Note: This effect currently enhances by 50%. At player level 10, this effect enhances by 100%.)]

Looking at the skill prompt, Jiang Chen didn't hesitate and directly applied the talent to [Healing].

"Hope it doesn't disappoint me..." Jiang Chen muttered to himself.

He saw black and white colors intertwine on [Healing].

Then, the skill effect changed.

[Healing (One-Star) (Reversed): Reduces 30 + (150% Spell Power) Health Points of the target. Cooldown: 5 seconds. Mana Cost: 5.]

"Gulp."

Jiang Chen stared at his skill and swallowed hard.

Is this... reasonable?

Priests don't have damage skills initially, only able to hit monsters with a wooden staff. To level up quickly, they must team up.

Of course, Priests are never short of team invites, often being highly sought after.

Because their healing is astonishing, able to heal 40 Health Points at level 1.

Not only does it have a 5-second cooldown, but it also consumes only 5 Mana Points.

And Intelligence-based classes regenerate 1% of their Mana per second.

In other words, a level 1 Priest automatically regenerates 1 Mana per second, making Mana consumption negligible when only using Healing!

It's practically a mobile health pool.

Compared to Mages, who are known for their damage, Priests' healing isn't inferior.

Except for lacking damage, Priests excel in every other aspect!

Now, Jiang Chen's [Healing] not only turned into a damage skill but also increased its effect by 50%.

This "healing" would make even Mages cry.

"Just the 50% skill effect boost alone is much stronger than my previous rare talent. What's more insane is that this boost can grow!"

Jiang Chen was amazed. This talent was definitely not weaker than a perfect-grade talent, far exceeding his expectations!

"Next... let's go hunt Red Rams."

Jiang Chen remembered that shortly after the game's launch, an NPC would appear in the ruined temple south of the Novice Village.

Players could exchange Red Ram horns dropped by the monsters for a buff reward from the NPC.

The more horns, the better the reward.

However, this NPC only appeared for an hour before leaving.

This short special quest was known as the greatest benefit in the Novice Village.

"If I remember correctly, the NPC appears two hours after the server opens, which is at 10 PM. I need to hurry!"

After a brief recollection, Jiang Chen headed straight out of the village.
