Dark Swordsman?!
I immediately went on alert. This class was also a hidden class. I had seen this class in several high-level skill books before. Logically speaking, it should be an extremely powerful melee class!
Ling Xue smiled sweetly. With her bright eyes and white teeth, she was incomparably beautiful. Qin Yun's lips curled up, revealing a trace of a smile. Her eyes were filled with charm as she stared at the roasted meat in front of her.
It was obvious that the two beauties weren't paying attention to what the boys behind them were saying.
The student said, "Our workshop has joined the Bloodthirsty Alliance, and Old Seven has received great recognition. Today, Bloodthirsty Heavens even brought a few hundred people to help Old Seven clear the crux of the quest. However, I still feel uneasy. Bloodthirsty Alliance and Snow Moon are mortal enemies. If we join Bloodthirsty Alliance, we'll be putting ourselves in the position of enemy of Snow Moon …"
Another student said casually, "What are you worried about!?
We don't even need to go to school. With our many years of experience in the game, can't we make a name for ourselves?
There are no good guys or bad guys in the game. It's hard to say what will happen in White Cloud City in the future. As long as Old Seven can become a Dark Swordsman and we join Bloodthirsty Alliance, hmph hmph, it's not impossible to wipe out Snow Moon! "
"Haha, you're right. We'll make the impossible possible and go against the heavens!"
I couldn't help but smile. It wasn't that I disliked their conversation. After all, there were millions of players in White Cloud City. There were countless people who wanted to take down Snow Moon and kill me. They weren't even on the list. However, I was very interested in this Dark Swordsman. A dark class. Maybe they could summon undead creatures. That would be awesome …
However, these students looked to be around twenty years old. Their faces were childish, but their ambitions weren't small.
Defying the heavens was something that every young person yearned for. Unfortunately, not everyone had this kind of strength. Being able to summon clouds with one turn of the hand and rain with another was not as simple as a child playing house …
I wanted to listen more, but I noticed that the students had already finished their food. They wiped the oil off their mouths and left.
Ling Xue looked up at me and said with a smile, "Dummy, when I logged off just now, I saw a very important system message. It's on the official website. Did you see it?"
"What news?" I was surprised.
Ling Xue smiled mysteriously and said, "Second Job Advancement at Level 80, this is a very important matter for any player, because it will affect a very important opportunity …"
"Hmm?
Opportunity?
If it's the Second Job Transition, it's nothing more than raising one's skills to the Grandmaster level. Could it be that there are other benefits? "
"Of course!"
Ling Xue's beautiful eyes narrowed. She chuckled and said, "In the entire world, the first player of every profession to complete their second class advancement will have a 100% chance of obtaining the hidden advanced profession of their profession. It is said that the advanced professions of Mages are divided into four types. Hehe, it just so happens that there are four types of Mages: Fire Mage, Ice Mage, Wind and Thunder Mage, and Earth Mage!
Every Hidden Mage class has a 25% increase in the control and power of the Hidden Mage class. There are also special skills that can be learned … "
I turned pale with fright. "No way!
That's … too OP. We can't even stand it before the increase in power. If it increases, won't there be no way for us warriors to survive? "
Ling Xue couldn't help but smile. She shook her head and said, "Idiot, that won't happen. Us normal class players can also fight for that 100% chance of winning the second class advancement. I also want to become a Hidden Swordsman player!"
I thought for a moment and asked, "Then what about the second player who advances? Does that mean that they don't have the chance to obtain the advanced profession?"
"That's not it …" Ling Xue thought for a moment and said, "The second place has a 50% chance of obtaining a hidden class advancement, the third place has a 25% chance, the fourth place has a 12.5% chance, and so on."
"Then doesn't that mean that those who are below the 100th place won't even have a chance of winning the prize even if they are struck to death by lightning eight hundred times?"
Ling Xue chuckled. "That's not it. From the tenth person onwards, the probability is the same. All of them have a 0.01% chance of advancing to the Hidden Profession. In other words, there's one in ten thousand people. This probability is quite high …"
I nodded and then asked in puzzlement, "Then what about me?
I have a hidden class to begin with … "
Ling Xue looked at me with amusement. "So, this event has nothing to do with you …"
I didn't care and said with a smile, "Then, let's grind like crazy. Let's get you and Qin Yun to Level 80 for the second class advancement first. Let's have a few more hidden class players on Snow Moon!"
"Yes, that's what I was thinking!" Ling Xue smiled sweetly.
I looked up at Qin Yun and asked with a smile, "Beauty Yun, what do you think about this?"
Qin Yun pursed her lips into a smile and said softly, "Me?
Hehe, of course I'm going to grind the Blood Oath quest with you guys. After that, I'll probably be over Level 70. In any case, I'm not in a hurry. With the world's number one and number two helping me grind levels, it'll be hard for me not to become the number one priest, hehe … "
I nodded and said with a smile, "That's good. Our three-man leveling party will set off tomorrow. The great leveling plan that will take many days will officially start tomorrow morning!
Oh right, we can also increase our Affinity! "
Qin Yun blinked and asked in puzzlement, "Affinity?
What's that? "
I explained, "After two people add each other as friends, they can team up and grind levels together. Every hour they spend together will increase our friendship by one point. When our friendship is high enough, there might be some benefits, but I'm not sure yet."
"Oh?
Then what's our Affinity right now? "
"Less than 100."
Qin Yun smiled. "Then we'll have to continue to increase it …"
"Yeah …"
That night, I brought back some food. Originally, Ling Xue wanted to grind levels overnight because she could get a hidden class promotion at Level 80. However, I rejected the idea. Reaching Level 80 wasn't something that could be done in a day, and risking my life wasn't worth it.
Ling Xue still insisted that she had to be the first swordsman player to reach Level 80. Only then would she have a 100% chance of obtaining a hidden class. Therefore, the next day, Qin Yun and I had to wake up at 7 am. After eating breakfast, we were going to Frozen Canyon...
Ling Yue rubbed her eyes and sat down next to me. She took out a grilled squid from her bag and said with a smile, "This cooking is much better. Last time, Shusheng roasted it until it was bloody, but this time it looks like he's cooking it..."
I smiled awkwardly. Ling Xue said, "Sister Qin Yun made it!"
"No wonder …"
Ling Yue opened her red mouth and took a bite. Then, she said with a smile, "Ling Xue, did you, Scholar and Qin Yun level up today?"
Ling Xue immediately answered with a smile, "I got a Dark Gold – grade necklace. It's beautiful!"
"Oh?
Hehe, congratulations then.
What about Scholar and Qin Yun? "
Qin Yun said, "I got a Dark Gold – grade staff, Scholar got a Dark Gold – grade helmet, and a pretty good skill book …"
Ling Yue nodded with a smile. "No wonder everyone seems to be in a good mood today …"
I asked, "What about you guys?
How was your harvest today? "
Ling Yue thought for a moment and said, "We went to grind mobs. Not bad. I leveled up twice, and so did Bing Cha and the others. Mn, but Zi Yue died once and accidentally charged into a mob."
"Oh?
What's Bing Cha's level now? "
Bing Cha held a glass of water and said with a smile, "Level 58!"
"Hehe, you're leveling pretty fast. Come online later, and I'll give you a weapon."
"Oh?" Bing Cha's interest was immediately piqued. "What weapon, Scholar?"
Ling Yue said with a smile, "Bing Cha will come online later. Are you afraid that Scholar will give you a weapon that's sold on the street?
Usually, Shusheng would just toss them into the shops... "
"Hehe, then I'll thank Scholar in advance!"
I nodded. Seeing that the girls were stretching, I returned to my room and went online. Not long after, the system notified me that my friend Bing Cha had come online.
I walked to the center of the eastern plaza with the Ice King's Sword in hand and waited for Bing Cha to come over. A few minutes later, the graceful female swordsman walked over. Bing Cha was already wearing a full set of Gold-grade armor. Her body glowed with a golden light, and she wore a light blue cloak behind her. She looked valiant, and she held a Gold-grade longsword in her hand. She looked very impressive.
"Handsome Scholar, where's my new weapon?" Bing Cha came in front of me and immediately extended her hand in front of me. She smiled and asked for it.
I didn't say anything and directly traded the Abyssal Sword to her. The sharp sword glowed with a dark golden light, and the coldness it exuded was frightening. From afar, I could tell that this longsword was no ordinary weapon!
[Abyssal Sword] (Dark Gold – grade)
Attack: 420 ~ 540
Strength: + 25
Stamina: + 22
Agility: + 15
Passive: Increases user's physical attack power by 7%
Level Requirement: 60
… …
Bing Cha's mouth fell open in shock. She looked at the longsword in her hand and asked me in disbelief, "Scholar?
I'm not dreaming, right?
You're really willing to give this sword to me …. If you sell this on the market, I'm afraid the price will be unimaginable …. "
I smiled faintly. "It's fine. You can sell this sword after you've eliminated it. It'll be the same. Plus, it's only a few hundred thousand. A few hundred thousand to buy a smile from our beauty, Bing Cha. Ugh …. It's not worth it. This is a loss …."
Bing Cha couldn't help but laugh. She punched my arm and said, "It's not worth it to buy a smile from me. Do you want to buy a night of me?"
Right after I said that, Bing Cha realized that she had made a slip of the tongue. In the next moment, her pretty face turned red. She was at a loss for what to do with the Abyssal Sword. She stood there awkwardly and didn't even dare to look at me.
I froze. I had never seen the generous beauty Bing Cha like this before. I immediately turned on the recording system and recorded Bing Cha's coquettish behavior.
Bing Cha raised her head and seemed to see what I was doing. She said angrily, "Bad Scholar, what are you doing?!
Are you going to put my face on the forums? "
I was shocked. "Bing Cha, you're so smart. That's right. I'll put this recording on the forums and give it a big title, 'Xue Yue Studio Bing Cha's Unknown Side'. Then I'll sell it for 100 gold. I'll probably make a lot of money in half a day …"
Bing Cha pursed her lips into a smile. "Alright, alright. Stop messing around. It's late already, so you should go to bed. As for the sword, well, I'll think about it for a few days!"
"Alright, I'll sleep well tonight!"
"Mn."
Bing Cha's beautiful figure gradually disappeared from view, and I went to Scholar's Little Shop. Everything was running normally, but I was pleasantly surprised to find that the Dark Gold – grade Whirlwind Battle Axe had been sold. 500,000 RMB was deposited into my bank account. It looked like White Cloud City was full of talented people, and the number of rich people in the city was definitely not a problem!
Also, I put up a ton of Silver and Bronze – grade equipment that I got from the stone fortress today. They were all around Level 60, so they were pretty avant-garde right now. However, there was no lack of people who would spend money to buy them and store them until they reached a certain level. Also, I wasn't selling them at a very bad price. A Level 60 Silver-grade metal armor was selling for around 300 gold in my shop right now. For example, I was selling a pair of metal armor legguards that increased Attack by 8% for 800 gold, but they were sold in less than two minutes. There was a huge demand for this kind of equipment, and anyone with some spare cash wouldn't care about such a thing.
I checked my account balance and realized that I was once again on the path to becoming a millionaire. However, given the current situation in China, there were as many millionaires as there were hairs on a cow. At least eight out of ten people riding tricycles on the street were millionaires...
It was getting late. I checked the Level Ranking and discovered that the China server's Heavenly Ranking had changed yet again —
1. Frivolous Scholar Level 71 Dragon Speaker
2. Windy Snow Level 68 Swordsman
3. Hellfire Level 68 Tempest Warrior
4. Sword Fire Ghostburn Level 67 Dark Mage
5. Breeze Touches the Moon Level 67 Mage
6. Chrysanthemum Daohana Level 65 Soul Shaman
7. Battle Soul Proud Heaven Level 64 Berserker
8. Battle Soul Iron Wing Level 64 Mage
9. Zi Yun 'er Level 64 Priest
10. Seven-star Lamp Level 63 Berserker
… …
A new expert appeared on the Heavenly Ranking, Seven-star Lamp. This was the first time I saw this name. I had some impression of the previous Top 50, but this person had entered the Top 10 in just two days. It looked like he was an expert with great potential!
I suddenly felt tired and found that I needed sleep to replenish my energy. I logged out, hugged the pillow at the head of my bed and fell into a deep sleep.
… …
I didn't know how much time had passed, but when a ray of sunlight shone through the window, I heard a knock on the door. Ling Xue said from outside, "Big lazy pig, wake up!
Hurry up and come out to eat. Sister Qin Yun and I are waiting for you! "
I suddenly remembered that I had to accompany Ling Xue and Qin Yun to Ice Canyon to grind levels today.
I smiled and put on my clothes. Outside, only Qin Yun and Ling Xue were sitting on the coffee table. There was an exquisite breakfast on the coffee table, and the rest of the girls in the workshop hadn't woken up yet. It looked like Ling Xue valued this number one swordsman very much, and she was determined to get it!
After breakfast, I went online to replenish my potions and repair my equipment. It was at this time that I suddenly heard a system announcement!
