Chapter 8: Unexpected Friend Request! Is There Really Nothing Wrong with Your Brain?

The Familiar Encyclopedia was dream-tier equipment that was one of its kind. It didn’t have any level restrictions on equipping it, nor did it have any summoning restrictions.

Originally, Jiang Bai had been fantasizing about choosing the powerful mage class. Wouldn’t be invincible with the countless powerful divine beasts he could summon with the Familiar Encyclopedia?

Not only would he possess powerful combat strength, but any divine beast under his command could easily wipe out a city!

However, this idea was obviously out of reach for the time being.

At the very least, he needed to raise his level to level 10 first, then change his class to Beastmaster.

Jiang Bai wasn’t worried about this because he knew many ways to raise his level quickly.

Especially in the novice village where there was a hidden method that could give him a huge amount of EXP.

Not only was the method simple and fast, but he could also obtain rare rewards. However, there was also a limit, which was that there were no hints that the method existed, and one could only discover it on their own.

However, to Jiang Bai, who had mingled in all the Sword and Magic forums in his previous life, this limit was equivalent to nothing.

He intended to immediately set off and do it, but he realized that he had received a notification of a friend request.

Seeing this, Jiang Bai frowned.

“How is this possible? Does someone actually know my ID number at the launch of the server? Could it be from the group of people who went out to finish the novice quest just now?”

In the world of Sword and Magic, unless one had met the other party face to face and obtained the other party’s game character ID, one could not add the other party as a friend!

Other than that, there was another method. One could ignore the above restrictions to have only one chance to send the other party a friend request. One could even go directly to the other party’s region, though that function could only be used in the novice period before level 10.

This method was the friend status link request.

By filling in the other party’s name, identity information, cell phone number, bank card number, and a whole series of private information, players could find their relatives and friends from real life in the game, and a one-way message would be sent to the target player.

However, Jiang Bai’s parents died when he was a child, and he had no relatives either. He didn’t have many good friends, so naturally, he wouldn’t take the initiative to reveal his information.

Not to mention, in this era, technology was no longer what it used to be. If Jiang Bai hadn’t taken the initiative to reveal his private information, no one should’ve known about it.

“Then who could it be? Moreover, this person actually knows how to use this method. Is the person really a novice?”

Jiang Bai couldn’t figure it out, so he clicked and opened the notification.

[Ding! Soft Snow has submitted a friend status link request to you. Would you like to accept?]

“Soft Snow? Um, Su Muxue?” Jiang Bai was stunned, “Why does she have my personal information? Hmm…”

Then, he suddenly remembered that when he had completed the handover of the house, his personal information had been written on the contract.

“I’ve been careless!” Jiang Bai rubbed his forehead helplessly but immediately agreed to the friend request.

After all, it was Su Muxue. Jiang Bai liked her straightforward personality.

After he accepted the friend request, not long after, a light pillar suddenly descended from the sky!

With that, a figure that looked 70% similar to Su Muxue walked out from the light pillar.

“Wow, so this is the world of Sword and Magic? It’s just too cool!” Su Muxue exclaimed as she looked at the scenery before her.

When she saw Jiang Bai who was at the side, she immediately rushed up to greet him with a smile.

“To think that you knew how to send me a friend request through this method.”

“Didn’t we say that we would team up in the game? You agreed but didn’t inform me,” Su Muxue frowned and pouted as she asked cutely.

“I had no choice. The players are randomly assigned to novice villages in the game,” In the face of Su Muxue’s reaction, Jiang Bai waved his hands, indicating that this had nothing to do with him and was the fault of the game itself.

“By the way, how did you know that this function existed in the world of Sword and Magic? This should be your first time playing the game, right?”

“I didn’t. This is what my brother told me.”

“Uh, your brother also plays Sword and Magic?” Jiang Bai had a puzzled look on his face.

Could it be that the other party was a closed beta player?

But how could he encounter such a small probability?

After all, there were only 100 closed beta players.

“Yeah, but he didn’t tell me his ID,” Su Muxue shook her head. It was obvious that she wasn’t very interested in this.

“Putting that aside, let’s go do the novice quest now and level up! I just heard in the novice village that the first person to leave the village will be able to obtain a purple guild token! That’s a treasure! If we’re too slow, we can only wait till after level 30! We have to hurry!”

Su Muxue’s face was filled with impatience. No matter how one looked at it, she did not look like a genius with excellent grades.

Jiang Bai waved his hand in response to Su Muxue’s words, speechless.

After all, the other party’s current image was simply too different from her in school.

Could this be the so-called contrast in personality?

It was said that all airheads had black hearts. Did this apply to Su Muxue as well?

Even though that may be the case, Jiang Bai did need to start taking action.

“Form a team with me first. Don’t worry, I have a method to raise us to level 10 as quickly as possible!” Jiang Bai had a confident expression.

Hence, after the two of them formed a team, Jiang Bai did not accept the novice quest. Instead, he turned around and walked towards the bamboo forest outside the village.

This stunned Su Muxue, and she started muttering in her heart, “Good Heavens, wasn’t he supposed to help me level up quickly? Why are we going into the bamboo forest without accepting the novice quest? Is there really nothing wrong with his brain?”
