But looking at the long queue in front of the Mage Altar, Yiye Zhiqu figured there was nothing more he could say.
Just because of sothing he said yesterday on the forums, all the little demon players from the Great Graveyard rushed to line up at the Mage Altar...
...
As players queued up to head to the Reclassification Hall to complete their job change, Luo Yan also stood silently watching them from the high platform at the front of the great hall.
With more players entering the great hall, he, like Yiye Zhiqu, discovered an interesting phenonon.
Due to the incredibly realistic Skill System, mages, who rely heavily on skills, have never been a popular profession. However, a surprising number of players chose to switch to mage this ti, even exceeding the total of the other five major professions.
"Looks like mages in the Great Graveyard will be the first to beco legendary."
Thinking of this, Luo Yan was suddenly moved and remarked half-jokingly.
"Youyou, do you think I should put on a mage title just for fun?"
To be honest, he was indeed tempted.
Casting speed and attribute boosts would be really useful for him, even though he didn't battle often, but who would complain about being too strong?
However, upon hearing Luo Yan's words, Youyou couldn't help but quip.
"Lord Demon King, you already have so many titles. Do you really need a mage title? If you feel you aren't strong enough, why not just add a buff to the Fla King title?"
Luo Yan was slightly startled.
"Can I do that?"
Youyou nodded her abstract head.
"Of course you can! Aren't you the one who decides how to spend the Power of Faith? Besides, using it to enhance your title is basic operation, right? For example, the Imperial Emperor gained immortality using this thod, didn't he? And like the Campbell family's generations of Chosen Ones, weren't their legends also written by enhancing their titles?"
Upon hearing this, Luo Yan's mind opened up.
It made sense!
"Why didn't you say so earlier?"
Youyou said helplessly.
"You never asked ."
Luo Yan: "..."
Alright.
He hadn't asked, so he couldn't entirely bla Youyou for not telling.
But even if he had asked earlier, it wouldn't have been aningful. Given the spread of the Fla King's legend at that ti, even if he added various auras to the title, the increase would likely be quite limited; or he could only use the Power of Faith to maintain it.
If the title's buff only benefited him, it would undoubtedly be a losing proposition, given how seldom he took action.
As Luo Yan pondered what kind of buff might suit the Fla King title, the players had already finished their job changes in the Reclassification Hall and were heading towards the teleportation array, buffs still warm.
The monsters in the Maze were limited in number, insufficient for testing the profession system's buff strength. By contrast, the frontlines of Kao Planet were more suitable as a leveling place for combat profession players.
Such high-frequency use of the teleportation array, even though he was piggybacking on the Brass Pass Chaos Gate, consud a considerable amount of the Demon Crystal in Luo Yan's hand—half a day's usage equated to what would usually last half a month.
But compared to the Power of Faith expenditure, the Demon Crystal loss was negligible.
Building the entire profession system cost him a million Faith Value and added a daily maintenance cost of 10,000 Faith Value.
[Faith Value: 1.8 million]
[Daily Net Growth: 40,073]
His Spirit sank into the Sea of Consciousness, gazing at the Faith Value balance on the monolith in the depths, and Luo Yan couldn't help but feel so distress, enough to soften his imdiate urge to buff his title.
"... This is probably the most expensive update since 'Catastrophe OL' launched!"
A million Faith Value is enough to upgrade a Silver Level soul to Gold Level, a significant expenditure that almost swallowed half of the leverage he got from Thunder City!
Youyou, floating beside him, consoled.
"No worries, Lord Demon King, can't you just go reap from Thunder City again? After all, those people have almost taken your shape."
Luo Yan glanced at Youyou.
"Where did you learn to say that?"
Although true, it sounded odd coming from its mouth.
Youyou shyly giggled, looking proud.
"Of course, I learned it from your players."
Unable to retort against its smug deanor, Luo Yan shook his head and waved away the interface floating above the monolith.
"... Hope this investnt is worthwhile."
Distress aside, once the Power of Faith had been spent, Luo Yan hadn't hesitated much.
After all, accumulating Faith Value accrues no interest; spending it brings greater returns.
The newly updated six professions are like titles in human nations.
When players spread these titles' legends across Aus Continent, and adventure the fa of "Graveyard Knight", the Professional Altar maintained by the acolytes will automatically harvest the Power of Faith, and the faith map of the Great Graveyard will expand accordingly.
Most of the Power of Faith gathered through the profession system will be used to strengthen the blessings of each profession, effectively boosting players' buffs. A small portion will be extracted into the Main Faith Crystal, as the "Faith Tax" collected by the Demon King.
It's a long-term investnt.
Though losing in the short term, the players' activity will eventually turn this investnt into profit.
When that ti cos, the profession system will not only no longer need him to subsidize 10,000 Faith Value daily, but might even provide tens of thousands of Faith Value in daily dividends.
Thinking of this, Luo Yan felt a bit more reassured.
"... Might as well consider it a loan to the players."
