Volume 1: The Beginner's First Cry Chapter 18 Second Occupation
Finally I'm resurrected. It feels so good to be a human! It's not like the "Dead Space". It's so dead and lifeless that no one can talk. It's really not a place for people to stay. I guess the "Resurrection Corridor" must be even worse than this. It's good that you don't lose your qualifications and equipment when you die, but this mental torture makes you more uncomfortable.
This time I have made up my mind. Even if I am given the courage again, I will not dare to walk in the wilderness again. I guess I have a grudge against wolves in my previous life. I have been defeated by them twice. It is so depressing. Even if I can change the way I do things, it will at least give me something new.
Afeng is in Qinglong City, I have to go find him. I looked at the map and it’s okay. It’s not too far from the city. I can rush over and use the teleportation array in the city to reach Qinglong City. I was worried before that I would be randomly thrown into a small ravine in a remote area. I would have to make another 25,000-mile long march, which would be a lot of fun.
I hurried along, and gradually, players began to appear on the road. Almost all of them had changed their professions, and they wore shiny badges on their chests, which looked very impressive. I seemed to hear someone quietly mocking me. No wonder, "Tianxia" has been running for more than ten hours, and there are still players who have not changed their professions at this time. It is definitely comparable to giant pandas. There is no way. I don't want to show off with a badge of an undead wizard. What if I run into a spy from the Church of Light and get a list of me? Wouldn't I be asking for trouble someone without a profession, even though this is quite alternative. I could only choose the lesser of two evils. In fact, why do they think I don't have a profession? Can't I be a person of high moral character and indifferent to fame and fortune? Why do I have to look down on others? It's really the bad nature of human beings.
Finally, I arrived at Qinglong City safely. I breathed a sigh of relief. It was not easy. This was the third time. I finally saw the appearance of the city. It is worthy of being one of the twelve main cities of the Eastern Continent. It is large in scale, magnificent in momentum, exquisite in architecture, and has many merchants. It is not inferior to international famous cities. There are crowds of people, players gather here, shouting here and there, and it is very lively.
Players from different countries and regions can be distinguished from each other by their various clothing styles. Communication is not a problem. The advanced instant translation function attached to the virtual helmet allows listening and speaking to be carried out simultaneously, and there is no obstacle to expressing the meaning. In the big family of "Tianxia", what you can get in touch with will far exceed your imagination.
I was shocked by everything I saw. For me who has always lived in the wilderness and the underworld, this place gave me such a warm feeling. I don't want to be separated from the masses . I also want to mingle with so many beautiful girls. Of course, it is limited to Chinese girls. Foreign Chinese girls are also acceptable. As for beauties from other countries, I will not consider them for the time being. It is a good idea to keep the good things in the family!
I asked the NPC brother patrolling the street about the location of the "Qinglong Restaurant" and hurried over. Afeng asked me to find him there. Even if he was not there, he would leave a message on the message board in front of the door.
Looking at the message on the message board, I laughed and cursed. This boy has no humanity when it comes to the opposite sex. He ran off to help two girls with mercenary tasks. It will probably take some time for him to come back. Let me wait for him here. Wait for him here? Don't you see where this is? One of the most upscale consumption places in Qinglong City. I am a poor boy with no money. How can I have the courage to go in and consume? If I can't wait for him, won't I be beaten up as a "freeloader" and thrown into the city prison? Who can I cry to then? Standing at the door and waiting, there is no need to consider it. Watching others eating and bragging, I can only stand outside the door and watch. Isn't this a blow to my self-esteem?
Anyway, I have nothing to do and nowhere to go, so I might as well take the job transfer quest and wear a badge for fun, so that I won’t be treated as an alien. Since everyone is drunk, I can’t always be awake, right?
The quality of the patrolling knight is really impeccable. He answered all my questions without reservation and was extremely polite. I felt flattered. This is the demeanor of a true public servant!
After turning a few streets and passing through the crowded crowd, I came to a tall building. Wow, look at the design of the guild. It is so tasteful, noble and elegant, peaceful and sacred. Two beautiful NPCs at the gate smiled at you from a distance, "Brother, please come in and join us. Becoming one of us is definitely a worry-free choice for your life. Women are afraid of marrying the wrong man, and men are afraid of choosing the wrong career. Brother , you only have one chance. You must think carefully before you leave!"
Wow, it was so touching. How could I remain indifferent to such an enthusiastic invitation? I stood up and ran into the small room hidden in the shadows in the alley opposite the tall building. That building was the Knights Guild that I had dreamed of joining, and this was the branch of the Thieves Guild, the second profession I wanted to join, located in Qinglong City.
The Thieves Guild is deserted. There are few people who aspire to become thieves. Now that so much time has passed, those who should have changed their profession have already done so. There is nothing here worth visiting or making people linger, so naturally few people are interested.
Thieves walking in the dark, your profession is destined to make you unworthy of the attention of the public. Even your guild is located in such a remote corner, with only a few tables and chairs, and no one to greet you. An old man who looks skinny is sitting on a chair, dozing off with his head down. This is in stark contrast to the enthusiastic and noisy Knights Guild. I wonder who designed this? The gap is too big. Does the Thieves Guild still want to develop?
I couldn't help but hesitate. This situation forced me to consider whether my choice was feasible. Even if I didn't want to be a magician, shooter was a better choice. If I were to be a thief, my agility was too low and my health was too little. After all, a thief was a melee attack profession, which had little to do with my necromancer!
Grit your teeth, don't do it if you are doubtful, and don't doubt if you do it. Since it is your own choice, don't regret it. According to my idea, the necromancer and the thief are both professions walking in the dark. Maybe there are some similarities in their skills and they can complement each other. I don't want to experience the excitement of close combat, but I want more ways to save my life and escape. In this regard, the thief should be the most proficient!
I walked up to the old man and said, "Hello, grandpa. I want to change my job to a thief." I still adhered to the traditional virtues of the Chinese people and was very polite when treating the elderly. Of course, treating the dead old man was an exception. He was old enough, but unfortunately he could not be considered a human being.
The sleepy old man opened his eyes, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, and he looked at me. "Hmm, so you are the one who got the hidden profession. Your wisdom is quite high, but your agility is a bit low. With such attributes, not many people would choose a thief. Are you sure?"
How can someone talk like this? Isn't this pushing customers away? It's fine if he doesn't work hard for them, but he doesn't want the ones that come to him. This old man is really cute for being frank, but I like it! I took a deep breath and made up my mind, "Yes, old man, I want to change my job to a thief."
The old man smiled and nodded. "Okay, where there is a will, there is a way. Welcome. But because you chose a second career, according to the regulations, the difficulty of the tasks assigned to you will be doubled. You should have known that."
I nodded. God bless me and please don't assign me any life-threatening tasks. I have just been resurrected not long ago. Can you let me stay in the human world for a while to breathe?
The old man pulled out a piece of parchment, looked at it, and frowned slightly. My heart sank suddenly. Looking at the old man's expression, this task might not be easy and must be very difficult.
The old man sighed, handed me the parchment with the task on it, and asked me to read it myself. "It takes one day, and there are extra rewards for the task. Try your best. If it doesn't work, give up. You can apply for a job change again after three days. You already have a job anyway, so it shouldn't matter if you change jobs in the evening."
One day, that is, sixteen hours, sounds like a lot of time, but since the old man said so, I have no hope of completing the task. I have died twice , and I don't want to face the third time so soon. It has been almost a day since I entered "Tianxia", and I have spent most of my time as a ghost. I chose the human race, not the ghost race. If this continues, I will become a psychopath.
I took the parchment casually. Since I was here, I might as well see what kind of perverted task it was. Just like the old man said, if it doesn't work, I'll just give up. I'm not in a hurry. This time I'll just treat it as a test to prepare myself mentally. Maybe I'll be luckier next time and pass it.
