The Intermediate Fireball Spell has the same effect as the Fireball Spell used by Mages and Beastmasters, being purely an output skill. However, its damage coefficient is 15% higher than the Basic Fireball Spell!

The Fireball Spell is the core single-target output skill for the Mage class. As it develops into the later stages, its single-target kill ability becomes particularly strong. Moreover, its biggest feature is a cooldown time of only 5 seconds, allowing it to be cast almost every two or three attacks!

So, Zhang Yi squatted in front of a chubby magician player at the stall with this book and asked, "How much for this book?"

"10 gold coins, no bargaining!"

As soon as the words left the other person's mouth, Zhang Yi looked up, shifting his gaze from the skill book to the stall owner. The stall owner, whose ID was "Happy Fat Otaku," happened to meet Zhang Yi's eyes, and both were stunned, pointing at each other, "It's you!"

Damn! What a coincidence, running into the otaku who brought Zhang Yi the Divine Talent Card!

While Zhang Yi was a bit surprised, Happy Fat Otaku immediately exclaimed excitedly, "Damn! You took my divine..."

Before the chubby man could finish, Zhang Yi covered his mouth.

Letting others know he possessed a one-in-a-billion Divine Talent was not good for Zhang Yi.

The chubby man was about to cry with grievance, "Give me back my Divine Talent..."

"It's too late for that, stop talking nonsense." Zhang Yi pointed at the green skill book [Intermediate Fireball Spell] and said to the chubby man, "Do you know why there are so few people around your stall? Because you're robbing them."

"This book is worth at most 5 gold coins, consider it compensation. I'll buy it for 10 gold coins."

"A few gold coins to compensate for my loss?" The chubby man was relentless, "Is a Divine Talent worth just a few gold coins? I want 50 gold coins!"

"Take a step back, and you push forward?" Zhang Yi frowned slightly, "Wasn't it a voluntary sale back then? You can't blame me for your greed."

The chubby man, however, was determined to get money from Zhang Yi, "I don't care, others pay 10 gold coins, but if you want to buy my book, you must pay 50 gold coins!"

"You fat bastard, get lost!" Zhang Yi couldn't take it anymore, "If you don't want to sell, take it to the grave with you!"

From the fact that the chubby man, a level 14 magician, was unwilling to use the skill book himself and instead put it up for sale, it was clear he was someone who valued money above all else.

However, as Zhang Yi said, the Intermediate Fireball Spell was only worth 5 gold coins. Paying 10 gold coins was out of consideration for the Divine Talent Card. Since the fat man didn't appreciate it, Zhang Yi saw no reason to sympathize with him and left.

"Happy Fat Otaku" watched Zhang Yi, who had hidden his ID and left only a level 13 Beastmaster mark, leave, gritting his teeth in anger, "If it weren't for you, the Divine Talent would be mine. What's wrong with compensating me a bit? Bastard, I won't let you off easily!"

After speaking, Happy Fat Otaku packed up his stall and quietly followed Zhang Yi, opening his friends list and sending a private message to a friend, "Boss, I was bullied, come help me get revenge. I'm waiting for you outside the south gate of Hope Town, hurry!"

Before leaving the Safe Zone, Zhang Yi went to the pharmacy, spending a full 5 gold coins to buy a large bag of red and blue potions, with blue potions making up 70% and red potions 30%.

This time, Zhang Yi was prepared to grind all night in Undead City, so he needed to stock up on potions to avoid wasting time running back and forth.

After resupplying, Zhang Yi followed the map's guidance and headed towards Undead City, located south of Hope Town.

Constantly analyzing the development trends in Zone 886, Zhang Yi opened the Regional Level Ranking and seemed to have made a major discovery—

1. Storm Angel, male, level 15 Archer

2. Storm Dragon King, male, level 14 Warrior

3. An Muxi, female, level 14 Mage

4. King's Supreme, male, level 14 Assassin

5. Keep Name Short Like Mine, male, level 14 Knight

6. Storm Fantasy, female, level 14 Mage

The level rankings in Zone 886 were almost entirely dominated by the Storm Family, significantly altering the historical progression from the previous life!

In the previous life, around this time, about five out of the top ten on the level rankings were from King's World. Now, only King's Supreme, ranked fourth, was from King's World!

For Zhang Yi, this was a good thing. With the Storm Family players suppressing them, King's World couldn't rise as arrogantly as in the previous life.

After obtaining the Silver Moon Bow, Storm Angel seemed to be on a rampage, leveling up rapidly to 15, consistently holding the top spot on Zone 886's Heaven Ranking, with no one able to surpass him.

Storm Angel was not simple.

In contrast, Zhang Yi felt a bit ashamed. As a reborn player with a Divine Talent and Dragon Bloodline, he hadn't even made it into the top 100 of the regional rankings!

Of course, if he hadn't been killed by a Dragon Blood Swordsman and lost a level, he could have at least made it into the top ten, if not the top spot.

Players like Storm Angel and King's Glory had a bunch of people helping them level up, so no matter how many shortcuts Zhang Yi took, he couldn't match their leveling speed.

Hmm, it seems he needs to step up his game. Although level doesn't mean everything, he can't fall too far behind others.

After closing the rankings, Zhang Yi continued alone towards Undead City.

Not long after leaving the Safe Zone, he sensed a chill behind him. Turning around, he saw that "Happy Fat Otaku" had somehow followed him out!

Beside him were two others, a Warrior and an Assassin, both level 14 like the chubby man, clearly part of his group, and they were specifically targeting Zhang Yi.

Seeing them follow, Zhang Yi stopped and asked, "Why are you following me?"

"What do you think?" Happy Fat Otaku, filled with resentment towards the person who took his Divine Talent, shouted at Zhang Yi, "Give me all your money and equipment, and we'll call it even!"

"Even?" Zhang Yi chuckled, "Do I owe you?"

"Not giving it? Then I'll just have to take it." With a cold look, Happy Fat Otaku took out his magic staff and ordered the two beside him, "Kill him, and we'll split whatever drops!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Warrior and Assassin beside the chubby man drew their blades and charged at Zhang Yi without a word.

"If I can't get the Divine Talent back, I'll destroy it!"
