[Sticky Halo (Active): Provides attribute buffs when teaming up with a member of the opposite sex. The strength of the buff is determined by the distance between teammates, with closer proximity resulting in a stronger effect. The maximum range for the buff is 10 meters.]

[Sticky Halo (Passive 1): There is a slight chance of copying a teammate’s talent if working together for an extended period.]

[Sticky Halo (Passive 2): After engaging in intimate contact with a teammate of the opposite sex, the distance restriction is lifted for two hours, and varying buffs are granted depending on the level of intimacy.]

Bai Han’s face lit up with curiosity as he read over his newly awakened talent. As a transmigrator who had been transported to a world modeled after a game, he was now surrounded by a realm rife with monsters, perils, and opportunities.

In this world, people reached professional maturity at the age of 18 and were bestowed with talents that corresponded with their chosen professions. Although there were many different types of occupations available, they could generally be categorized as either combat, support, or lifestyle-oriented.

Bai Han had become a priest during his awakening ceremony, a support-based profession. While support classes lacked significant combat power, they were highly sought after, as a strong support class could effectively double the combat power of an entire team.

As Bai Han examined his newly acquired talent, a sense of unease crept over him. Why was it a requirement that only opposite-sex teammates could benefit from his talent? And the notion of “intimate contact” made him feel even more uneasy.

“Student, if you’re done here, you can form a team and prepare for the next Initial Mystic Realm!” the staff member conducting the awakening ceremony interrupted his thoughts.

As Bai Han remained stunned, the staff member conducting the awakening ceremony had to remind him to form a team for the next challenge in the Initial Mystic Realm. This realm was like a dungeon for novices, and all awakeners could participate. It served as both a beginner’s benefit and an assessment. The better one performed in the Initial Mystic Realm, the higher their rank would be, and the more likely they would catch the attention of major factions.

Bai Han descended from the stage and was immediately approached by someone. “Hey, you switched to a support class, right? Are you a control or recovery class? Join our party! We’ve already got two warriors and an assassin with guaranteed damage output!”

Classes were categorized into life, support, and combat, with more detailed subcategories within those groups. Bai Han assessed the dark-faced, 1.9 meters tall young man with ripped muscles that made one’s heart jump before him. After thinking for a moment, he said, “I’m a buff-type Priest.”

The dark-faced young man’s eyes brightened, and he eagerly grabbed Bai Han’s hand. “Please join our team!” he said.

Support classes were highly sought after, especially buff-type support classes, as they could increase the team’s damage output more immediately than control or recovery classes.

“Actually, the elders in my family have already prepared a full set of Bronze-grade equipment for me. If you join our team, you’ll definitely be among the best in the Initial Mystic Realm this time!” he added, trying to entice Bai Han.

A full set of Bronze-grade equipment, even if it was Level 0 novice equipment, was still a considerable amount of money. A normal person would have been tempted, but Bai Han felt helpless.

“How many girls are there in your team?”

The black-faced tall man was slightly stunned when Bai Han asked how many girls were in his team. He thought that Bai Han was meticulous when choosing a team, as he was concerned about the configuration of the rest of the team as well.

“Uh … No, they’re all men!” he finally answered.

Bai Han could only shake his head when he heard this. “Then I’m sorry. I only team up with females!”

As soon as he finished speaking, he could clearly sense the dark-faced tall man’s gaze on him had changed. It was a kind of disdain that said he did not expect him to be such a person, making Bai Han feel very helpless. He couldn’t even explain himself. “I can’t help it that my talent strictly limits me to forming a team with the opposite sex.” he thought.

Ignoring the other party’s gaze, Bai Han immediately shouted around, “I’m looking for a team who’s looking for a buff-type support profession. It comes with a buff halo. As long as you get close to me, all your attributes will be increased. I only want to team up with women. Is there a team with many women would who need a profession like mine?”

“Are there any ladies who want to form a team? Super buff talent, first come, first served! ”

“I only want women, I only want women!”

When Bai Han announced that he was a support class that provided buffs, many people who had already completed their awakening and were looking for teammates came over to watch. However, they immediately dispersed when he shamelessly shouted that he would only team up with women.

There were quite a few female combat professionals and even quite a few all-female teams. However, the problem was that when one person took the initiative to request to go to a team with only women, it was difficult not to let others think that there was something wrong with him They also looked at Bai Han with disdain, just like the dark-faced young man at the beginning. Of course, other than disdain, there were also envious looks.

It was unknown if they were envious of Bai Han’s thick skin, to actually shout out the thoughts that they could only hide in their hearts in public. However, they did not know that Bai Han himself was forced to do so!

After shouting for a long time, no one was interested. Just as Bai Han was feeling a little disheartened, a crisp voice sounded behind him.

“Are you a pervert?”

Bai Han was instantly enraged when he heard this. How could someone slander his innocence? He turned around and glared angrily, only to see a young and beautiful girl standing ten meters away from him.

Despite her appearance, Bai Han didn’t appreciate being insulted. He knew he was easily misunderstood, but he couldn’t just let her call him a pervert without defending himself. “I’m not!” he said sternly.

However, the expression on the girl’s face showed that she didn’t believe him. “Believe it or not, my talent can only enhance the opposite sex, but I’m really not a pervert!” he explained, feeling frustrated that he had to keep defending himself. He had already explained this many times, but it seemed that no one wanted to believe him.

Bai Han thought that his efforts were in vain, but to his surprise, the girl hesitated for a moment before saying, “I’ll team up with you!”

Bai Han’s eyes widened in excitement, but his enthusiasm was dampened when the girl added, “It’s just that my class is a Mage, and my initial talent is passive…”

Now he understood why she was willing to team up with him.

Mages were definitely one of the strongest classes in the later stages of the game. After all, be it damage or range, they would definitely be judged.

However, the problem was that the Mage class was very weak in the early stages. After all, the Mage class definitely relied on skills to deal damage. However, everyone was at level 0 now, so their damage output basically depended on normal attacks.

Unless they were among those nurtured by large families and factions, ordinary people wouldn’t have access to those expensive skill scrolls to enhance their skills.

However, to Bai Han, this wasn’t important. As long as someone was willing to team up with him, he would take the opportunity. He was determined to form a team and test the effectiveness of his talent.
