After a player's class advancement, they would be able to learn a corresponding class skill from their respective profession guild. They would also be able to accept a mission to obtain a profession badge.
Every player could obtain a profession badge. Moreover, the profession badge that everyone obtained was a Level 1 first class advancement badge, which gave + 3 to all attributes. Chen Mo did not have much expectations for this profession badge.
With his current attributes, + 3 to all attributes was more than enough.
However, if he did not obtain a profession badge, he would not be able to accept a profession mission from the profession guild.
Profession missions were very popular at the moment. There were not many missions in the City of Shadows. After completing a profession mission, not only would the player receive a certain amount of experience, if they were lucky, they could also obtain equipment and skill proficiency.
However, what Chen Mo was more interested in was the special effect on the profession badge.
The Level 1 First Job Transition Badge could be bound to a specific job's skill, increasing the proficiency of the skill by 5%. It was a pretty good effect, so he had to get his hands on it. Especially after the badge was upgraded, it could be bound to multiple skills, reducing the time needed to level up a skill.
The Hunter's Guild was located in the west of the City of Shadows. The building was a little old and there were a lot of moss growing on the marble walls. However, the hall inside was quite spacious.
There were five NPCs in the hall. They were in charge of missions, profession advancement, skills, and other duties.
Chen Mo queued up in front of the mission NPC for a while and quickly learned a new skill, Thorn Trap.
The entry-level Thorn Trap would cause the enemy to receive 150% damage and cause the enemy to enter a bleeding state for 5 seconds, reducing 20 HP per second. The skill had a cooldown of 15 seconds.
The damage of the Thorn Trap was only slightly higher than the basic traps. It was a direct gift from the system. As expected, there was nothing good about it. However, Chen Mo did not despise it. He did not have many skills now. With the Thorn Trap, the trap chain skills could be put to use. Moreover, with his attack power, even if it was a trashy skill, the damage output would still be high.
After learning the skill, Chen Mo ran to queue up in front of the mission NPC.
The mission NPC was an old man named Archie.
Archie looked at Chen Mo with a smile on his face. "Not bad, little guy. You have such strength at such a young age."
Heh!
The older the ginger, the spicier it was!
This old man could tell that he was not ordinary at a glance. Could it be that there was another rare mission for him to accept?
He could directly obtain a Level 5 or 6 Hunter's Badge!
"You flatter me, Master. Do you have any quests that can directly give me an Advanced Class Badge?" Chen Mo asked.
"No!
I hate geniuses like you the most in my life. You only know how to take shortcuts all day long! "However, Archie's face turned serious, and he immediately turned hostile.
F * ck, I stepped on a landmine!
It seemed that this old man had been treated unfairly when he was young, and now he harbored a grudge in his heart.
"This is your mission. Remember to complete it within the time limit. If you fail, you can't accept another mission within 7 days!" before Chen Mo spoke, Archie threw a mission to Chen Mo.
System Notification: You have accepted the quest "Hunter's Badge"!
Mission: Hunter Badge
Mission Difficulty: Unknown
Time limit: 24 hours
Mission Details: Kill 50 black flower demons.
Reward: Level 1 Hunter Badge
Hmm, at least it seemed like a normal mission. Hunter's Badge missions were generally not difficult. Almost all of them were missions to kill monsters and collect items.
However, this old man must have done something to the punishment for failure. From what he knew, a Hunter's Badge mission could only be accepted for three days at most if he failed. However, he had seven days!
But … Forget it. There was no point in arguing with a resentful old man. He would just treat it as respecting the old and caring for the young. Anyway, as long as he completed the mission, the punishment did not matter.
However, when Chen Mo went to the forum to look up the black flower demons, he realized that this old man Archie had set him up!
The black flower demons were only Level 13 monsters. Killing 50 black flower demons did not seem like a lot. However, after understanding the black flower demons, Chen Mo realized that things were not that simple.
North of the City of Shadows, about two thousand meters away, there was a huge, strange-looking ancient tree.
Other giant trees had sparse branches and leaves, but this giant tree had a lot more branches and leaves. Most importantly, there were a few huge snow-white flowers blooming on this giant tree. Each flower had a radius of five to six meters. It was a huge sight in the vicinity of the City of Shadows.
There were many Flower Demons hundreds of meters around this flowering tree. However, almost all of these Flower Demons were white Flower Demons. The black Flower Demons only spawned near the roots of the tree, and each time, there would only be a pitiful few.
Compared to the white flower demons, the black flower demons were much stronger. However, Level 13 monsters were not that strong. No matter how strong the black flower demons were, they would not be as strong as Level 14 monsters.
The black flower demons gave three times more experience than the white flower demons. Moreover, some players said that the black flower demons had a high drop rate. If one farmed the black flower demons for a day, they would drop at least three or four pieces of equipment.
The black flower demons took a long time to respawn. They would respawn once every five minutes. Although they could respawn twelve times per hour, they would only spawn five to ten at a time. If one was unlucky, one might not even kill one in an hour.
Chen Mo could only be online for twelve hours a day. He had to kill four to five black flower demons every hour to complete the mission.
If he was lucky, he would need five to six hours to complete the mission. If he was unlucky, he might even fail the mission.
Seeing this, Chen Mo couldn't help but gnash his teeth in hatred towards Archie. That damned old man better not let him find a chance, otherwise, he'll definitely take revenge!
But then again, the current him was still no match for that old man. He had to increase his strength.
If he wanted to increase his strength, he would have to obediently complete the mission for his Class Emblem.
The giant tree was very eye-catching. Chen Mo saw it from afar.
A few large snow-white flowers adorned the tree trunk. Although it was a little green, it was a little bare. It was an indescribable sight. Such scenery could only be seen in games.
The White Flower Demon was a humanoid monster with a large white flower on its back. It had short black hair and a very small body. It looked like an adorable little loli. The White Flower Demon was rated as one of the most adorable monsters around the City of Shadows.
However, for the sake of leveling up, even if these White Flower Demons were very cute, they would not hesitate to kill the little lolis that respawned.
In response, a group of lolicons who were not in the City of Shadows severely condemned the inhumane behavior of the City of Shadows players on the forums.
On the other hand, many players started to envy the Hunter class players. After reaching level 15, Hunter class players would be able to use the 'Capture' skill to capture white flower spirits. Walking around the City of Shadows with a white flower spirit was a very eye-catching thing to do.
Of course, only hunters who had too much time on their hands would do that.
If a level 13 flower demon was thrown into a level 15 monster territory, it would die within a few hits. Other than being a decoration, it had no other use.
Unlike white flower demons, which were little lolis, black flower demons were mature and flirtatious big sisters. They were also one of the most popular monsters in the City of Shadows and even in the game. The number of fans they had on the forums was no less than the white flower demons.
Under the giant flowering tree, several Black Flower Demons respawned one after another. Each of them was mature and bewitching, and they were full of charm. However, the large group of players waiting by the side didn't hesitate to kill all of the Black Flower Demons that respawned.
Black flower demons were very powerful. It would be difficult for ordinary level 13 players to kill them. However, the group of players in front of them were clearly not level 13 players. They killed the black flower demons with ease.
Upon closer inspection, the large group of players all had the same guild emblem hanging on their chests.
"The Bloodbath Guild is here to complete a mission. We will leave once we are done. Brothers, please make way!"
Seeing that someone was walking over, one of the members of the Bloodbath Guild immediately shouted at the newcomer.
…
The first one was even worse.
