109: Similar professional skills?

"My older brother, pick me, pick me!"

Upon hearing that Gu Qinghan's talent could replicate others' professions, Luo Mu immediately became excited.

It was clear that he genuinely wanted Gu Qinghan to become stronger.

Gu Qinghan held the guy down and said helplessly:

"At least wait until level twenty. If I'm not mistaken, it should be an opportunity to copy one more profession every ten levels."

"By the way, do you have a profession like Extreme Ice Wizard among your subordinates?"

"Yes! Li Fei, come here for a moment!"

Luo Mu waved towards the crowd, and the woman from the small forest earlier stepped out.

"Boss Luo, what's wrong?"

Li Fei walked cautiously to Luo Mu and Gu Qinghan, somewhat confused about why she was called over.

Although Luo Mu controlled their fate, he had never done anything too excessive.

On the contrary, Luo Mu treated them quite well, provided they didn't cross certain red lines.

Luo Mu pointed at Gu Qinghan and said casually:

"Ask My older brother; do whatever he tells you to do."

Li Fei nodded, then heard Gu Qinghan point at the giant bear and say:

"Use your professional ability on this guy. Stop when I say stop."

Li Fei glanced at the Bear King, which stood like a small mountain beside them, and her face paled slightly.

She hesitated for a long time, then cautiously asked:

"It... won't suddenly attack me, will it?"

"No, it won't. Feel free to attack. You might not even be able to break its defense."

Gu Qinghan waved his hand, signaling her to go all out.

Only then did he have time to check what good things he had just obtained.

Besides several cannibal battle-axes, Gu Qinghan had also acquired two silver-grade items.

One of them was a thumb-sized skull necklace, polished to a shine.

[Shaman Power (Silver): Level 15]

[Combat Power Increase: 200]

[Effect: Use the Shaman Power to imprison the target enemy's soul, consuming at least 1% mana per second. Cooldown: 10 minutes.]

Gu Qinghan immediately equipped it. This item could sometimes have a crucial effect against enemies who rely on skills.

The second item was a wooden stake with various patterns drawn on it, and some carvings seemed to be etched into it.

[incentive totem (Silver): Special Item]

[Effect: Once placed, the probability of enemies within a three-hundred-meter radius dropping items doubles, disappearing after 1 hour.]

Gu Qinghan raised an eyebrow. This item seemed to have no lasting effect, but its utility was absolutely significant.

Especially if large-scale monsters appeared from the gate of calamity, the value of this item would increase exponentially.

Just as Gu Qinghan was contemplating the value of this item, the gate of calamity once again released a group of monsters.

But this time, from the archway of the gate of calamity, a series of unsettling red lights suddenly emanated.

This red light was like an ominous omen, causing everyone's heart rate to subtly quicken.

"What's happening?"

Luo Mu immediately stood in front of Gu Qinghan, purple lightning instantly appearing around his body, making him look like a warrior clad in lightning armor.

Gu Qinghan, meanwhile, looked towards the gate of calamity and saw some upcoming monster information and the familiar countdown.

However, previously, the information for the next wave of monsters would only appear after the current wave was cleared.

But now, it seemed the gate of calamity was tired of this tedious process, directly unleashing wave after wave of monsters upon this land.

The red light appeared for a very short time, about ten seconds, before receding.

However, looking at the constantly shortening countdown, Gu Qinghan had an ominous feeling.

"My older brother, what's going on?"

Gu Qinghan told Luo Mu the news about the gate of calamity, and the latter also frowned tightly upon hearing it.

Clearly, this was the first time either of them had encountered such a situation.

Gu Qinghan patted Luo Mu's shoulder, signaling him not to worry too much:

"No matter what happens, let's clear out all these monsters first."

"If there's truly something we can't handle, we'll just run away."

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

...Meanwhile, in a high-end residential area dozens of kilometers away.

In the bedroom of a large apartment, a kind-faced middle-aged man opened his eyes.

As he opened his eyes, the air around him seemed to solidify for a moment.

He glanced in a certain direction and muttered to himself:

"This aura, is it also a professional ability similar to mine... An City?"

The man's eyes were very small; even when open, they looked like he was squinting, and the corners of his mouth even turned up slightly.

However, such a seemingly unthreatening man was the most powerful existence in this area.

He had even established a survivor Gathering Place with a complete order.

It wasn't a rule established by strong military suppression, but rather a social order similar to before the game began.

Within this residential area, there were over ten thousand survivors.

These survivors had to rely on their own efforts to exchange for resources to survive here.

Those who contributed would receive certain rewards, and those who made mistakes would also receive certain punishments.

Suddenly, he heard a knock at the door from outside.

The man walked to the door, opened it, and saw two stern-faced guards standing at his doorstep.

In front of them was a bound woman.

The woman's face was smudged with dust, but it was clear she was quite attractive.

"This is the person caught violating order yesterday. She's already been searched."

"Come in."

The man glanced at the woman, showed a harmless smile, then stepped aside, allowing the guards to push her in.

The woman was directly pushed to the ground, letting out a muffled groan, then turned her head to glare fiercely at the men.

The man ignored her, merely smiling at the two guards:

"You know the rules, right? Have you seen this person before?"

"No."

the two guards replied, not averting their gaze.

"Then what did you do tonight, do you know?"

"We know. We were on patrol the whole time, then got too tired and fell asleep for a while."

"Very good. Go on. Smart people don't make trouble for themselves."

The man smiled, patted the two guards' shoulders, and turned to close the door.

The two guards left expressionlessly, only letting out a sigh of relief when they reached downstairs.

One of the younger guards looked back at the dark stairwell and asked his companion:

"You scared me to death. I heard that everyone sent in before never came out again. Is that true?"

"Shut up!"

the older guard glared at him fiercely, "Do you know why it's our turn to deliver people this time?"

"Huh?"

"The people who were responsible for this job before were too curious, constantly asking about things they shouldn't know."

"And then?"

"Later, both of them, including their family members, never appeared again."

"For your own sake, and for your family's sake, control your mouth!"
