106: The only god-level profession, "Underworld Salary King"! "Salary!"

"Ding! The player's protest has been received, but since the evaluation results are generated by the Gaia Space's main brain, they cannot be modified. The protest is invalid."

"Generating exclusive class change for you based on the SSS-rank evaluation..."

The mechanical system notification echoed in the pure white space.

Protest invalid?

Su Mo's eye twitched. The helpless grumbling in his heart about the reasons for the evaluation was quickly drowned out by his anticipation for the class change.

Alright, invalid is invalid. Anyway, "paying to revive" is also a skill.

"Detecting that the player's talent is God-tier [Lord of Greed], deeply bound to concepts such as 'money,' 'wealth,' and 'transactions'..."

"Detecting that the player demonstrated an extremely strong adaptability to the concept of 'death' and exceptionally high kill efficiency against 'undead' units during the trial..."

"Detecting that the player possesses the resilient quality of 'never giving up (paying to revive)'..."

They brought that up again!

Su Mo's face darkened.

"Combining all the above characteristics, matching the most suitable hidden class for you..."

"Match successful!"

"Congratulations, player 'Su Mo,' for obtaining the unique God-tier class — Netherworld Cinder Lord!"

"Boom—!"

The moment the last word appeared, the entire Gaia Space suddenly sank!

A brilliant golden light, too dazzling to be seen with the naked eye, pierced down from the zenith, forming a majestic pillar of light that completely engulfed Su Mo's figure.

The light was scorching and majestic, yet it carried no sense of burning. Instead, it felt like warm spring water, cleansing his limbs and bones.

At the same time, an immeasurably vast and profound stream of information violently surged into his mind.

"Netherworld... Cinder Lord?"

Bathed in the divine light, Su Mo subconsciously chewed on the class name.

Cinder? As in, the cinder of a fire?

"Holy crap, no way? My talent is [Lord of Greed], which is all about finding ways to make money. Did I just change classes to one that pays salaries to the dead? Is this system trying to make me go bankrupt?"

As soon as he finished complaining, the class description appeared before his eyes.

"Class: Netherworld Cinder Lord (God-tier/Unique)"

"Class Description: You are the death creditor who walks through all the heavens and myriad worlds, the supreme monarch of the land of the dead! All things in the world have their price. Whether it's the lingering soul of a hero or the corpse of a god, as long as you can afford enough 'wages,' they will awaken from eternal rest and fight for you! Your army will be composed of death! Your kingship will be forged with money! Remember, Cinder Lord, as long as your wealth is endless, your undead legion will never deplete!"

"Buzz!"

Su Mo's mind felt like it had been struck hard by a heavy hammer.

Using game currency to revive the dead to fight for him?

As long as he had enough money, he could even awaken the corpses of gods?!

His breathing suddenly quickened, and the ancient battlefield that had tormented him for ten days and nine nights flashed before his eyes—the giant corpses covering the earth, the dragon skeletons stretching like mountain ranges, and... that damned god he had desperately managed to strike once at the end!

"Holy shit!"

Su Mo's heart pounded, and his blood began to warm. "That entire ancient battlefield, isn't it my personal armory?!"

"Unlocking core class skills..."

"Ding! Congratulations! You have successfully comprehended Core Class Skill One: [Call of the Wage King (God-tier/Active)]!"

"Call of the Wage King: You can designate any corpse and, by paying 'game currency' as wages, awaken it from death, transforming it into a 'Wage-Fire Servant' absolutely loyal to you. [Note One: The 'wages' required for awakening depend on various factors such as the target's strength in life, time of death, and soul integrity.]"

"[Note Two: The more 'wages' paid, the stronger the 'Wage-Fire Servant' created, potentially even surpassing its peak strength in life!]"

"[Note Three: Your current maximum number of 'Wage-Fire Servants' is: 0 / 10.]"

"Ding! Congratulations! You have successfully comprehended Core Class Skill Two: [Monarch Shift (God-tier/Active)]!"

"Monarch Shift: You can instantly swap positions with any one of your 'Wage-Fire Servants,' ignoring any spatial blockade or confinement."

"[Note One: Each use consumes Netherworld Fire based on the distance of the swap. If Netherworld Fire is insufficient, the swap cannot be performed.]"

"[Note Two: Cooldown: 1 second.]"

After reading the second skill, Su Mo's pupils sharply contracted.

Monarch Shift!

Cooldown... 1 second?!

Isn't this an infinite flash with no wind-up, no cool-down, and no restrictions?!

What was his biggest weakness?

It was his pitifully low Agility. If he was stuck in close combat, it was fine, but once a ranged class opened distance, he was a sitting duck.

But now with this skill, as long as his Wage-Fire Servants were spread out enough, the entire battlefield was his playground!

Go wherever he wanted, hit whoever he wanted!

That damned god's "Magic-Sealing Domain"?

In front of Monarch Shift, it wasn't even worth a fart!

"Awesome! This is so damn awesome!"

Su Mo trembled with excitement.

These two skills, one solved the "manpower" problem, giving him the capital to build an undead legion; the other solved the "mobility" problem, transforming him from a clumsy tank into a ghostly assassin.

Perfect!

"Ding! Class information updated! Generating your brand new attribute panel..."

It's here!

Su Mo took a deep breath, suppressing the wild joy in his heart.

After the class change, his attributes would be reborn. He was very curious what kind of monster this extremely specialized "brute" would become.

The next second, a virtual light screen, glowing with a faint purple-gold radiance, slowly unfolded before him.

"Name: Su Mo"

"Class: Netherworld Cinder Lord (God-tier/Unique)"

"Level: LV21 (299999 / 300000)"

"HP: 160000 / 160000"

"Stamina: 6000 / 6000"

"Strength: 2400"

"Agility: 400"

"Spirit: 50"

"Willpower: 200"

"Perception: 50"

"Netherworld Fire: 400"

(Note: All above attributes have already received the 400% bonus effect from God-tier talent "Lord of Greed" Effect Two, Beauty Accompaniment!)

Su Mo stared at the numbers on the panel, stunned for a full three seconds.

He raised his hand to rub his eyes, closed the panel, and opened it again.

The numbers hadn't changed.

"Holy crap..."

One hundred sixty thousand HP! Two thousand four hundred Strength!

What kind of concept was this?

He was now an ancient beast in human skin, with an HP bar thick enough to make a BOSS despair. One punch from him, and a small mountain would be shattered!

However, when his gaze moved down to the Agility column, the expression on his face instantly solidified.

"Agility... 400 points?"

Su Mo's mouth twitched uncontrollably.

This number, let alone compared to Xiao Wu's abnormal 1500 Agility, probably any second-tier assassin player could outspeed him.

A tank with high HP and high attack, but possibly slower than a turtle... the ultimate iron turtle.

That description was truly spot on.

However, when his gaze fell on the last, brand-new attribute, his tightly furrowed brows relaxed again.

"Netherworld Fire: The Netherworld Cinder Lord's exclusive core attribute. This attribute determines the upper limit of undead you can simultaneously employ and slightly boosts all attributes of all undead employees. The more undead under your command, and the stronger they are, the faster your Netherworld Fire will grow!"

"So that's it!"

Su Mo suddenly understood. "This attribute, isn't it the market value of my 'Netherworld Group'! The more employees I recruit, the larger the company scale, the higher the market value, and it can even provide attribute benefits to all employees! Not bad, not bad!"

A blood tank, high attack, super tank, plus a Monarch Shift that could ignore spatial blockades, coupled with an undead legion that could snowball infinitely... this class was simply unreasonably powerful!

Su Mo admired his new class with satisfaction, his gaze sweeping over the attribute panel again, preparing to close it.

But just then, his gaze stopped at the level column.

"Level: LV21 (299999 / 300000)"

Only one experience point away from leveling up?
