Jiang Yun received 16 attribute points and without hesitation, allocated 10 points to Intelligence, 3 points to Spirit, and the remaining 3 to Agility.
After distributing the attribute points, he eagerly opened his inventory, his gaze fixed on the system-rewarded piece of clothing.
—[Black Crow Ghost-Pattern Robe]!
[Durability]: 100/100
[Quality]: Mundane Grade (Inferior)
[Health]: +100
[Defense]: +10
[Constitution, Spirit]: +6
[Equipment Requirement]: Level 10 or above, all magic classes
Jiang Yun's eyes lit up instantly.
Although this Mundane Grade equipment wasn't as superior as the Mourning Staff, its attributes were quite comprehensive.
Without hesitation, he donned the Black Crow Ghost-Pattern Robe. Instantly, a smooth-textured, deep-colored black robe enveloped his body, enhancing his aura, making him look like a reclusive master.
After putting on the robe, Jiang Yun's Health soared to 367, Mana reached 215, and Defense increased to 23 points.
His sturdiness had significantly improved compared to before: "Awesome!"
Having advanced so much in the game, even reaching level 10, Jiang Yun couldn't help but wonder if his strength had returned to the level of a Lesser Wandering Soul once he returned to the underworld.
However, this question could only be answered after logging out.
At this moment, Jiang Yun knew time was of the essence, and he had to maximize his progress in the game.
After all, the game helmet's battery only had about thirty hours of life left, and whether he could log in again afterward was uncertain.
With this in mind, Jiang Yun quickly sprang into action. He first went to the village chief's courtyard, where he saw the Ghost Village Chief running back and forth shirtless, like a monkey.
Jiang Yun muttered to himself, "Did this old guy overindulge after eating the top-grade Dragonbird Yin Fish he caught, and is now exercising to burn off the excess energy?"
But he had no interest in investigating further; he just wanted to get a quest and leave this Guiming Starter Village to explore the broader game world.
"Village Chief, I'm level 10 now. Can I take the first transition quest?"
Jiang Yun shouted to the bouncing Ghost Village Chief.
Seeing Jiang Yun, his pupils dilated, and he looked surprised: "Good lad, you've reached level 10 so quickly. You're truly the most outstanding prodigy in the history of this starter village!"
"Since you've met the requirements, let's begin your trial!"
As soon as the village chief finished speaking, a system prompt appeared before Jiang Yun.
"[As the first player in Guiming Starter Village No. 1 to reach level 10, you have the option to choose the highest tier first transition challenge quest!]"
"[You can choose any of the following five levels of first transition trial dungeons. Upon completion, you will receive a class change.]"
"[1. Low-level first transition dungeon (Misty Ghost Castle), difficulty one star; 2. Normal first transition dungeon (Abyssal Ghost Forest), difficulty two stars; 3. Elite first transition dungeon (Ren Family Corpse Village), difficulty three stars; 4. Master-level first transition dungeon (General's Mausoleum), difficulty four stars; 5. Abyssal-level first transition dungeon (Qin Emperor's Underground Palace), difficulty five stars!]"
"[Special Note! The higher the difficulty of the first transition dungeon completed, the richer the rewards upon completion. Please make your choice within 10 seconds, or the system will default to the low-level dungeon.]"
Do it to the best!
Without hesitation, Jiang Yun chose the Abyssal-level dungeon—Qin Emperor's Underground Palace.
"[You have successfully chosen to challenge the Abyssal-level first transition dungeon task—Qin Emperor's Underground Palace!]"
"[You have 10 minutes to prepare. After 10 minutes, you will be transported to Qin Emperor's Underground Palace to begin your trial journey.]"
Seeing Jiang Yun choose the most difficult Qin Emperor's Underground Palace, the Ghost Village Chief was initially stunned, then gave Jiang Yun a thumbs up, his eyes full of admiration: "Good lad, I knew from the start you were no ordinary person, daring to challenge Qin Emperor's Underground Palace, truly bold!"
"Hey, don't say this village chief doesn't look out for you. I see you're specializing in earth attribute Ghost Mage class, and I happen to have a few rare earth attribute spellbooks. Do you want to learn them?"
Hell yes, only a fool wouldn't want to learn!
Jiang Yun was secretly delighted and nodded eagerly.
The Ghost Village Chief didn't beat around the bush. He immediately reached into his pants, rummaged around, and pulled out three musty, crumpled ancient books.
Jiang Yun's expression turned slightly green, muttering to himself, "Damn it, you're pulling stuff out of your pants?!"
But he desperately needed attack skills. So far, he only had the Falling Rock Spell, which was far from meeting his combat needs.
Therefore, he could only suppress his disdain and look at the three skill books the Ghost Village Chief took out.
—[Level 1 - Gravity Shield]!

(The attributes of the Maitreya Rock Doll depend on the skill level and the caster's level, Intelligence, and Spirit.)
[Skill CD]: 5 minutes!
[Learning Requirement]: Level 10 or above, specializing in earth attribute Ghost Mage.
Damn, these three skills are amazing!
Jiang Yun was overjoyed and quickly reached out to take the skill books.
But the Ghost Village Chief rolled his eyes at him: "Uh uh uh, you brat, you think you can just take them for free? These are rare copies I've collected over the years. If you want them, you'll have to pay."
Jiang Yun quickly asked, "How much for each book?"
The Ghost Village Chief rubbed his fingers together: "Not much, considering you're the first prodigy in this starter village to reach level 10, I'll give you a discount, 5 Ghost Silver Coins each."
Fuck!
Three books would be 15 Ghost Silver Coins!
Jiang Yun secretly wondered, he had exactly 15.87 Ghost Silver Coins on him, and he suspected this old ghost knew how much money he had and was deliberately extorting him.
