When QiYao was informed XiaoYu would be grinding at the Pyramids with his brother again, he decided to go along with XiaoYu. It had been a very long time since he had seen his brother anyway, other than phone calls.

"Is Brother also a hidden job?" XiaoYu asked, recalling the unique skill, Sacrifice, he'd witnessed.

"He told you?"

"No...he used a skill." XiaoYu thought back to yesterday. He hadn't said anything in particular. All the other mentioned was that this skill could transfer damage between players.

"That's the skill Sacrifice. Brother is a Paladin, the hidden job of knights." QiYao instantly knew which skill was used from XiaoYu's description.

After his brother became a Paladin, he also gained two more skills. They were similar to XiaoYu's Bishop skills. One skill was for the caster themselves; one was for other players. The difference between a Paladin's and a Bishop's skills was in the skill for the caster. The Paladin's skill was passive.

It didn't need to be casted. It just increased the damage dealt to Undead mobs, the player's defence against all Undead and experience gained from the Undead. It was also why XiaoYu mistakenly thought the other's Strength and Constitution was higher than QiYao's.

The other skill from the Paladin class was Sacrifice. It allowed the caster to tank all damage for another player. However, to QiYao's brother, it was quite useless. On the surface, it made it seem like he could protect other players, but when one really thought about it, it just meant he'd be like the target of a voodoo doll, a poor willing sod destined to die out of no fault of his own.

That's because this skill ignored all of the Paladin's Defence and Agility. It mainly depended on the other player's stats. If the other was weak, that meant the other player was more likely to be hurt and suffer more damage. The number generated would then be transferred to the Paladin's health.

QiYao's brother didn't plan on training to be a tank in the first place. However, he might have to use the skill one day. So he intentionally started adding more points to his Constitution.

The game was very fair, to an extent. Even though hidden jobs were available in-game, the advantage gained wouldn't be that overwhelming. Even XiaoYu's Bishop skills required items to cast and were restricted to long chant times.

It was nearly noon when QiYao's brother finally messaged XiaoYu to tell the other he was in the Pyramids. The couple who had their minds occupied by other tasks hurriedly headed for the portal.

"Looks like there'll be one more person to help me grind today." QiYao's brother wasn't shocked to see QiYao appear alongside XiaoYu. He had known the other would come along.

"Long time no see, Brother."

"Hello."

"Okay. XiaoYu, you must've told him about everything, right? Let's jump right into it," QiXuan said. He skipped past all formalities, invited the other two to a party and continued slashing down Berserk Mummies.

For a while, all was silent. The only sounds heard were the sounds of mummies dying. However, the two brothers had been chatting away in a private channel.
