Can't I develop my own character?

Looking at the time, it was already one in the morning. Ryan yawned and prepared to quit the game. His biological clock had been completely messed up since he activated the game system.

There is not much entertainment in this world. We used to go to bed at nine or ten o'clock, but now it's different. Twelve o'clock is just the beginning, and we basically go to bed between one and two o'clock.

That’s not all, I also have to get up on time at 8 o’clock in the morning, otherwise I will miss the early shift.

"Ah~ It was better before."

Ryan missed being little Camilla.

Being a sheriff in the patrol department, it's pretty good to just hang out every day.

Just as Ryan was about to close the interface, a new message popped up -

[The role card function has been activated. Do you want to create a role card? ]

"Character card?"

He clicked on the detailed introduction.

【Character Card→Lin Qi】

[Using the character card will grant you all the abilities of the current character. The duration is 1 hour and the cooldown is 24 hours.]

"what?"

Ryan's eyes lit up.

This must be produced.

[Production successful, obtained the character card of 'Lin Qi'.]

Ryan thought about it, and a dark card appeared in his hand.

The card showed the portrait of Lin Qi after her job change, with the words "Silent Sister Lin Qi" engraved above her head.

And there is a line of words written on the back of the card -

[When holding this card, after the original character dies, you can pass on the profession and skills to the new character once and only once. ]

Ryan's eyelids twitched.

Professional inheritance?

"In other words, as long as the character card is created, even if Lin Qi dies, this profession can be inherited?"

Although it only happens once, it greatly improves the fault tolerance rate.

"Isn't that a bit of a supermodel?"

Then give me some more.

Ryan grinned and touched the card. The power of the Sister of Silence was reassuring.

After putting the card into the backpack, Ryan entered the character information list and found that next to the position of 'Lin Qi', there was an extra '+' sign in the originally gray character column.

He raised his hand slightly and touched the '+'.

The next second, the new character creation interface popped up as expected.

Please name the new character.

Chapter 24 Grandpa, I’m kind-hearted!

"I can actually create a new character. Could it be because of the job change?"

Since the game didn't give any prompts, Ryan didn't bother to care. He was more looking forward to the creation of subsequent characters.

If the number of characters can continue to increase, and each one can be trained to the top level, wouldn't one person be able to conquer the whole world?

"Name...name...this is so annoying."

I stared at the naming interface and thought for a long time.

For someone with naming difficulties, having to come up with a large number of names in a row is more painful than being stabbed.

"Let's call her 'Charlie'."

He was not used to giving himself a foreign name, but a name like 'Lin Qi' was too special, while 'Xia Li' was more normal.

In fact, Ryan was just thinking about whether to use the names of some familiar female characters in his previous life, such as General Thunder and Cocolia, but then he thought that those were his wives, and it would be a bit strange to name himself after his wife, right?

"Wait, why would I subconsciously choose a girl's name?"

With strange thoughts in mind, Ryan entered the character creation stage.

This time he was familiar with the process and created a more heroic character.

Hidden professions are not easy to obtain. If you can't get them, it's also a good idea to switch to a Soul Eater, which is also a powerful meat shield.

【Character information generation:】

Xia Li (female): Constitution 12, Spirit 9, Magic 7, Comprehension 7, Charm 9

"Is your physique so high?"

Although he didn't look muscular, his physique actually had a score of 12, which was beyond Ryan's expectations.

"Md, when will we boys be able to stand up? Even if there are such tall female characters, I will..."

[Confirmed name 'Xia Li'.]

Initial identity generation...

"Even if it's a beautiful female character with high stats, I'd still be willing."

With such good values, what are you still worried about?

This is definitely a template for a female knight.

Not only does he have a strong physique, but he also has a good talent for magic.

In Empress Online, the strength of a superhuman is not determined solely by magic power, but also by physical and mental strength.

If magic strength is the main focus, it is necessary to cultivate spirit as a secondary skill, because the release of high-level magic skills requires the spirit attribute.

On the contrary, physical fitness has fewer restrictions. For example, Ryan knows that there is a hidden profession called Punishment Knight, which plays an extreme physical fitness style.

But apart from these few extreme professions, most of them require secondary attributes. For example, physical practitioners also need some magic assistance. After all, magic can greatly enhance the physical strength.

Overall, Ryan was quite satisfied with Charlie's attributes.

Initial random identity preference: Knight, Gladiator, Refugee, Soldier, Mercenary, Bodyguard...

"Is there really no noble opening?"

Ryan shook his head secretly.

Pretty much what he expected.

However, with his and Lin Qi's help, the initial identity is not that important.

[Game information confirmed, Xia Li, female, entering the game...]

【Please select your place of birth.】

'Augustus', 'Wildea', 'Arcadia', 'Holy See'...still only the Augustus Empire can be chosen.

【The birth point is confirmed to be 'August'.】

The game interface jumps to the Augustus Empire - Berman City.

"The map should be unlocked later."

While thinking, the scene in front of me changed.

What appeared in Ryan's sight was a dilapidated house.

Compared to the simple room where Lin Qi lived, this room could be described as a refugee camp. The floor was full of potholes, the ceiling was full of cracks, the walls were dirty, and there were even cracks.

There was no bed, just a wooden plank with a pile of weeds lit underneath.

[Xia Li is a refugee who fled to Berman City. Her hometown was destroyed by war. With your physical fitness that surpasses that of ordinary people, you became the boss of the slums.]

"Do you have to be so miserable?"

He is actually a refugee. You could just give me a farmer.

"Why do they all start out as orphans? Are they fixed characters?"

Ryan complained, then controlled 'Charlie' to stroll around the room.

After searching around, I found nothing, but I did see a mouse that had starved to death in the corner.

When he opened the door, there was a dark alley outside with no street lights. Based on Ryan's experience, he judged that it must be a slum area in Berman City.

After hesitating for a moment, Ryan decided to wait until daybreak. 'Xia Li' now had no level or equipment. If she happened to meet a patrolling sheriff in the dark, he would have to go to the jail to rescue her the next morning.

And it’s really too late now, it’s already two o’clock in the morning.

After setting up the AI ​​to hang up, Ryan yawned, washed up and went to bed immediately.

...

Silent all night.

At eight o'clock in the morning, Ryan opened the game as usual while eating breakfast.

He glanced at Lin Qi and saw that everything was normal. He just heard some nuns discussing that two chairs in the church had broken inexplicably, and Father Peter was looking for someone to inquire about the situation.

Of course, it was Lin Qi who broke the chair, but given her status, Peter couldn't ask her, and he didn't have the courage to do so.

In addition, early this morning, Lin Qi received a letter from the High Priestess Leah, asking her to meet at the coffee shop on Shengning Street.

Ryan didn't need to worry about this kind of thing, the idle state would be handled naturally. Then he switched to the game interface of "Xia Li", and the scene that came into his eyes made him frown.

In the picture, 'Xia Li' is standing at the door, and a group of mafia appear in the alley.

After daybreak, Ryan judged from the surrounding buildings that this should be the border area between East City District and Central City District. He had been there before when he was on patrol, and the people living there were all poor people and refugees.

'Come out! Everyone, get out!'

The mafia leader shouted.

"From today on, this place belongs to the Shekou Gang. You bunch of untouchables, get out of here right now. Do you hear me?!"

While they were shouting, members of the Shekou Gang would rush into the houses and drag people out.

Some who were unwilling to cooperate were beaten with sticks, and suddenly there was a continuous cry of despair.

"Why! Why should we leave? This is not your territory, the imperial government didn't drive us away!" a thin young man shouted.

There are poor people and refugees everywhere. If the empire wants to be stable, it must tolerate their existence.

There are refugees living in all major urban areas of Berman City. Generally speaking, as long as they do not cause trouble, the government will not intervene.

Moreover, these places are planned and built by the government and are designated as "slums" by default. If the slums are really to be abolished, how can we allow so many poor people and refugees to have nowhere to live?

"Why?" the Shekou Gang leader sneered, "Because we have connections and strength! This is our territory from now on. A bunch of sewer rats are just a waste of air."

'you--'

boom!

The young man was kicked away. The leader of the Shekou Gang seemed to want to show his authority, so he called two people to beat the young man to death with sticks.

Seeing this, the others curled up and dared not get close.

A child suddenly rushed over.

Ryan recognized him as the kid who had received copper coins from Lin Qi last night. There were no slums in the central city, but some poor people would secretly go there to beg. After all, there were many rich people in the central city.

Maybe you can meet someone with a kind heart?

Obviously, the child did meet a kind person, but it still couldn't change his fate.

The child threw himself on the young man and was hit twice by the Shekou Gang. One of them looked at the leader.

"The boss said it's best not to cause any loss of life."

The leader waved his hand.

"Alright, alright, I'm a kindhearted man and I can't bear to see anyone die in front of me. Get out of here, everyone, get out of Berman City. I'm not afraid to tell you that we'll take over all the other slums besides this one."

"It seems the city is going to clean up the poor."

Ryan knew it.
