Chapter 3: Gifted Potential

Certainly, joining the Church of Light and Justice is not something that can be done casually; it requires passing two tests: the Gift Test and the Faith Test

Good, good, good

Physical Talent: F +

The elder glanced at the pillar and immediately announced the child's talent. In this world, talent levels are divided into 7 grades, from highest to lowest: S, A, B, C, D, E, and F. The differences between each level are indicated by plus and minus signs.

As for magic power, it is just as the literal meaning suggests; casting spells and using skills require the consumption of magic power. Without magic power, one can only rely on basic attacks

Luo Yi took the bread and once again expressed his gratitude to the God of Light and Justice. After thanking, Luo Yi did not leave immediately, but instead inquired of the elderly man before him, saying: "Elder, I wish to join the Church of Light and Justice. I am not sure how to proceed."

Mental Aptitude: F

Returning to his residence, Luo Yi tidied up a small room and then went to rest early. After all, he had to prepare to join the Church of Light and Justice the next day, and Luo Yi did not dare to be careless, as whether he could successfully join the Church of Light and Justice was closely related to his future destiny

Subsequently, a child of about 6 years old, encouraged by their parents, stepped into the pentagram. At the moment the child entered the pentagram, the five transparent pillars began to gather specks of light at their bases, and soon, those lights filled a small section at the bottom of the transparent pillars.

As Luo Yi was at the end of the team, with his completion of the baptism, the monthly baptism day officially came to a close. However, after the baptism concluded, the main event was about to begin.

The vast majority of individuals possess a talent level of F. If one of the five indicators reaches level E, it can be considered a specialty. Should any one of them attain level D, it is sufficient for focused development

The baptism of this holy water by the Church of Light and Justice is both a gift to the faithful, alleviating their fatigue and minor ailments, and a means to detect whether any among the believers have been tempted and fallen into depravity by evil deities

In this world, the deities can be divided into three factions based on differing beliefs: the Justice Alliance, led by the gods of light and justice; the Evil Alliance, led by the gods of darkness and destruction; and, in addition, there exists a vast number of neutral deities. Among the neutral deities, there are also two branches: Neutral Order and Neutral Chaos.

This evokes a strong sense of déjà vu related to playing games. Upon hearing the elder mention the five indicators of talent, Luo Yi, who was in the back row, was suddenly struck by a powerful sense of familiarity, as he was all too familiar with these attributes from his frequent gaming experience

With the appearance of the elder, the crowd finally ceased their prayers. Subsequently, they lined up one by one to approach the elder, who received a basin of water from the apprentice paladin following behind him and gently sprinkled it on each person.

A person's talent can be divided into five distinct indicators: strength, constitution, agility, spirit, and magic.

The second day

As Luo Yi sighed, at that moment, the sun on the horizon fully emerged, and instantly, the morning light shone upon the Church of the God of Light and Justice, rendering the church sacred and solemn. Upon witnessing this, the voices of the people praying outside gradually grew louder.

Amidst the prayers of the people, the tightly shut doors of the Church of Light and Justice slowly opened. Subsequently, the elderly man who had given Luo Yi bread yesterday emerged, dressed in the attire of a clergy member, followed by two apprentice paladins.

Having received two extra loaves of bread, Luo Yi left happily, clearly indicating that he would be able to enjoy a hearty meal tonight

Upon hearing Luo Yi's words, the old man could not help but smile; they distribute bread for free every day, and is this not the very moment they strive for

As the elder announced the child's talent level, it was evident that disappointment appeared on the faces of the child's parents, after all, there is no parent who does not wish for their child to possess enviable high talent

Upon witnessing this scene, Luo Yi was also taken aback. It turned out that he was not the first, but rather the last one. Moreover, from the slightly damp hair of those individuals, it was evident that most of them had been here the entire night.

However, when Luo Yi arrived at the Church of Light and Justice, he found that the square outside the church was already filled with people. At this moment, these individuals were solemnly kneeling and sitting in the square, earnestly praying.

This is only at the F and E levels; if it were to change to the D level or even higher levels of talent, the gap would be even more pronounced

The monthly baptism day is also the day when the Church of Light and Justice welcomes new believers. Luo Yi saw the children present, who were preparing to join the Church of Light and Justice

Amidst the crowd, Luo Yi observed several children, approximately between the ages of 6 and 10, who were also seated in prayer accompanied by their parents

What a magical water

Agility Talent: F

Seeing Luo Yi's reaction, the old man also nodded slightly. The fact that Luo Yi could accept the baptism of the holy water indicates that he is not a follower of evil deities

Young man, you can choose the gods of light and justice, I am very pleased. Tomorrow is the day of baptism, and you should come over then. The old man said this and handed two loaves of bread to Luo Yi.

As the old man splashed water on himself, Luo Yi immediately felt a surge of energy, and the previous fatigue was instantly swept away.

Magical Talent: F -

Strength, physique, and agility are self-explanatory; anyone who has played games understands this. However, spirit represents the mastery of elements or energy. A high aptitude in this area signifies a talent for becoming a mage class, as mages rely on mastering elemental powers or various energies to condense spells for their attacks

Indeed, in a world of divine faith, even such a small child has begun to pray. Upon witnessing this, Luo Yi couldn't help but exclaim.

Power Talent: F

At the moment the first rays of sunlight pierced the small town, Luo Yi hurriedly made his way to the Church of Light and Justice, thinking to himself, "Hehe, I should be the first one, right? When the people at the Church of Light and Justice see how devout I am, joining will be a done deal." As he walked towards the Church of Light and Justice, Luo Yi mused inwardly.

Praise be to the God of Light and Justice

The level of talent has a significant impact on a person's future achievements. For example, a person with an F-level talent increases by 1 for each level they advance. In contrast, a person with an E-level talent increases by 2 for each level they advance. This means that, at the same level, the strength of a person with E-level talent will be double that of a person with F-level talent

After the elder provided a general explanation regarding the matter of talent, he raised his hand and drew a pentagram on the ground. Subsequently, he inserted a transparent cylinder, approximately two fingers in thickness, at each of the five points of the pentagram.
