Chapter 38 -38 Professional Salted Fish King
Editor: Larbre Studio
Chu You’s name was the first to appear on the world announcement, solidifying him as the top player in Celestial World. His name, Night Ghost, would forever be etched in the memory of every single player, marking him as the man from Huaxia who sits atop the rest.
One must imagine, though, how explosive the news of a player reaching job advancement just a few days after the server opened must be. With the top-ranked players maintaining a level 6 status, Chu You’s level clearly surpassed them all.
Surely, this news would keep many up all night.
Now that Chu You had officially activated Celestial World, various ranking features appeared on the players’ interfaces, which they could access with but a thought.
The rankings in Celestial World comprised of: Guild potential ranking, player level ranking, player combat power ranking, player glory title ranking, player wealth ranking, and player pet potential ranking.
All the aforementioned rankings were world rankings, meaning that as long as a player had the capability, their name would appear on those lists, regardless of the region they’re in, for all the players in the world to admire!
Undoubtedly, this was the greatest shortcut and opportunity to increase one’s renown. Once famous, one could become a world-class superstar!
Chu You had witnessed the power of these leaderboards in his previous life; their advertising effect was insanely good—far superior to being featured in a world announcement. After all, announcements were fleeting, while the advertisement effect of leaderboards was far more phenomenal…
Of course, aside from world rankings, there were also regional rankings. For foreign players, they only had two sections: world and regional. However, Huaxia region was an exception, featuring three different types of rankings: world, Huaxia, and the player’s home country.
Now, whether it was on the world player level rankings, or the Huaxia and Yan Kingdom rankings, Chu You’s name was conspicuously hanging in the number one spot: Night Ghost, Level 10! Below that was a void. Only when a player reaches Level 10 and initiates a job transfer, would their name then appear on the ranking. There are a total of 100 spots, from the first to the one hundredth.
The previously noisy hall was now silent as all the players stared dumbfounded at Chu You. Just a moment ago, a golden font had flashed in front of their eyes, announcing the astonishing fact about the man in their gaze. They had witnessed the birth of a miracle!
“Take this Wangshan City Teleportation Scroll. Go to your class’s sect and report as soon as possible. The sooner, the better, otherwise your cultivation power will be temporarily frozen.” The village chief cheerfully handed Chu You a teleportation scroll. His face was undoubtedly glowing—Celestial World was vast and the cultivators were many, yet the first one to advance job happened right under his jurisdiction. This would ensure his name a place in the history of Yan Kingdom.
Chu You knew that once a player reached Level 10, they had to advance their job. Otherwise, after a certain period of time, their attributes would be frozen, which is why there were no full-time players here.
Chu You accepted the scroll, then looked around to see the players who had blocked their exit, their faces locked in a continuous cycle of shock. The news just now was too startling.
It was a world announcement after all! This player’s name had appeared before all the other players. It would be hard to forget, the player before them was now thoroughly famous, and far and wide at that!
Chu You’s sparse contact list was swarmed with messages. Chu You clicked on Lin Luor’s profile first.
“Chu You, was that your name just now? You advanced your job?” Lin Luor asked, her voice reflecting her surprise.
“Yes… Wait for me to create the guild and set up the guild mailing system. I will send you some items.” Chu You said calmly, not opening the other messages. Thereafter, he noticed countless unfamiliar players requesting to be friends. Chu You adjusted his settings so that the friend request option was set to a Q&A mode. Only when correctly answered would the friend request prompt appear. With that done, his communication became much quieter.
Question: I desire a new answer!
The question was rather odd and puzzling, with only Chu You knowing the answer.
After all was done, in front of many players, Chu You activated the teleportation scroll…
Zhao Feiyan couldn’t even enter the hall, she along with players around were left stunned by the news just now. Indeed, he had the job advancement. Despite how absurd it felt, the fact was laid out bluntly in front of her: a player she had personally met, who she had unclear relations with, had, under the gaze of countless players, received the game’s very first, and immensely prestigious, honor!
…
A flash of temporal brilliance passed, with Chu You appearing at the Wangshan City’s return point.
Wangshan City, the strategic city of the true sense in the north of Yan Kingdom, was key in position and heavily guarded. Thus, it appeared more like a fortress town.
With an ethereal glow enveloping him, Chu You took a step forward, instantly turning his body solid. He then gazed into the distance at Wangshan, a mountain revered as a divine entity by the locals.
A divine mountain? Quite makes sense, thought Chu You, his eyes reflecting contemplation. His choice of being born here was precisely due to this divine mountain.
Divine Mountain, I am here for you in this lifetime!
The city streets were not bustling but rather appeared somewhat desolate; Chu You approached an information board with a simple map displayed, indicating Wangshan City’s network of roads. If a player wanted to go to a specific location, they could easily find it here.
Chu You glanced at his destination: The sect where the Battle Halberd Gladiator dwelled was not far from here, he noted down the route and began running towards it swiftly.
The players must report to their professional sect to unlock the specialized skills of their profession, that’s how they can truly become a member of the profession.
Being the first player to reach this place, there were lots of tasks for him to choose from, including some tasks with high rewards. However, Chu You considered all of them as mere trifles. He knew well his own plan, it wasn’t the time for tasks yet, even the ones that could be uniquely beneficial, he would rather pass.
Soon, a celestial bridge came into Chu You’s sight. Right across it was his destination, The Battle Halberd Gladiator Sect!
At the entrance stood four indigenous people holding long war halberds, watching them, Chu You couldn’t help but smile. Despite their seemingly mighty appearance, these halberd-wielding disciples were merely a bunch of salted fish!
Correct! In his previous life, Battle Halberd Gladiator was the “salted fish”, or underdog, in the eye of other professions during the early stage of the game. It was the epitome of salted fish, the Salted Fish King to be precise!
People frowned upon Battle Halberd Gladiator at the beginning of the game. Wherever they went, other professional players would keep a distance from them, forming a vacuum-like range.
Chu You entered the sect and came to an open space. A few figures stood under the distant hall, they were the ones Chu You intended to meet.
Chu You, clothed in a straw rain cape and a lifeguard hat, soon came to a group of sect elders, clad in metallic armor and looking majestic and tall.
“I, Night Ghost, report for duty to switch professions.” Chu You stopped a few meters away and spoke.
The moment Chu You entered, the elders took notice of him and watched him approach.
“Ha-ha, who would’ve thought that War Halberd Sect would be the first one to have a disciple reporting for duty.” One of the elder said, his face brimming with joy.
“Indeed, it’s quite unexpected. I always thought that the Elemental Sect nearby would be the first to have a disciple reporting. I can’t wait to see the look on the elders’ faces when they hear the news.” Said another elder, his voice dripping with expectation.
“Humph, they’ve always called themselves Mage, haven’t they? This will be a slap in the face. As I see it, they are just like… what’s the term?”
“Salted fish!”

“Ha-ha-ha-ha, yes, yes, salted fish! Well put, I finally get my revenge this time, and it feels good! I will have a great time getting drunk tonight!”
“Ho ho, it should be so, tonight I will order a salted fish, and we will have a fun evening playing around with this!”
Chu You watched the elders in front of him, they were now laughing out loud, their faces oozing with pure joy, as if they hadn’t had such a happy time in ages. Chu You felt a bit helpless, and subtly guessed that these elders were probably always laughed at by the “Mage” next door, weren’t they?
“Ahem, let’s get serious, there’s a newbie disciple in our presence. We don’t want to set a bad example.” The leading elder immediately put on a serious face, and the elders behind him suddenly changed their expressions into a solemn demeanor, eying Chu You with great authority.
“Night Ghost, come here…” The leading elder said sternly.
Chu You took a few steps forward, at that moment, the elder stretched out his hand, a soft glow emanating from it as he told Chu You, “Take off your hat!”
Chu You didn’t hesitate and promptly took off his lifeguard hat, revealing his true face.
Upon seeing Chu You’s face, the elders glanced at each other and their expressions turned even more serious.
Shock flashed in the leading elder’s eyes for a second but he didn’t say anything. He immediately placed his glowing hand on Chu You’s head.
System: You have unlocked the weapon mastery skill for War Halberd. You can now use your personal weapon: the Battle Halberd!
At that moment, the leading elder pulled out a very long weapon from his spatial bag. This weapon was a Battle Halberd, but it was dull and ordinary, clearly a mere common weapon.
“This is your personal weapon. From now on, if you’re wielding anything other than a halberd, your cultivation power will be ineffective. Understand?” The leading elder asked Chu You with utmost caution.
Chu You understood. This meant that if he were to use the previous sickle and knife again, all his attributes would become invalid. He would turn into a commoner, powerless, until he switched back to his Halberd.
