418: Creating a brand new profession
Gu Qinghan immediately summoned his Skeletons, only to find that they had completely reverted to their previous state.
“Did upgrading my talent clear all the classes I had previously collected?”
Gu Qinghan understood, but this wouldn't affect him in any way.
Because at this moment, he was already the City Lord of Whale Fall City.
Gu Qinghan knew he couldn't possibly collect the class characteristics of those Clerics.
But apart from these top-tier powerhouses, the various Professionals in Whale Fall City were countless.
Moreover, under the selection of Luo Mu and Piao Jun, most of these people started with an Epic Class.
It wasn't that Whale Fall City didn't have ordinary Professionals, but rather that ordinary Professionals weren't responsible for combat missions.
These people with weaker classes were mostly family, friends, or lovers of powerful Professionals who had come to Whale Fall City together.
If he wanted to, Gu Qinghan could quickly collect the class abilities he needed.
He looked at the Guardian and said with a hint of excitement:
“Can I choose my skills later? Because my talent ability has changed.”
The Guardian nodded, and after understanding Gu Qinghan's new talent, he suddenly glanced at both sides of the red carpet.
Gu Qinghan also followed his gaze and saw the neatly arranged Death Swordsmen.
At this moment, Gu Qinghan suddenly understood what the Guardian had said before.
He had said that these Death Swordsmen and the powerful beings in the Necropolis were all subordinates of Death himself.
And his own subordinates needed to be slowly built by him.
Now it seemed Gu Qinghan had the opportunity to build his own exclusive subordinates.
He bid farewell to the Guardian and sprinted, disappearing at the entrance of the Necropolis.
As the Guardian watched Gu Qinghan's disappearing figure, a flicker of understanding appeared in his eyes.
He slowly turned and looked towards the depths of the Necropolis, where a magnificent and domineering throne stood, imbued with a sense of solemn killing intent.
“I understand, this is the person you personally selected.
It turns out I was also kept in the dark… No wonder…”
He bowed his head deeply, with no dissatisfaction in his gaze, but rather a hint of fanaticism.
The Guardian seemed to have already seen that, perhaps one day in the future, that black figure would once again sit on this throne… And in Whale Fall City, Gu Qinghan’s figure reappeared.
The moment he appeared, he saw Chen Yuting staring at him, her eyes sparkling.
“You’re back?”
Chen Yuting smiled sweetly, but her gaze lingered on Gu Qinghan for a long time.
Gu Qinghan walked over with a smile, hugged Chen Yuting, and said:
“Don’t look, that’s my home ground, I’ll be fine.”
“Hmm, are you hungry? I cooked something for you.”
Chen Yuting stood up and quickly turned to enter the kitchen.
Although Whale Fall City had a dedicated cafeteria, there were still independent rooms in the residential areas for people to cook.
Before long, Gu Qinghan saw Chen Yuting emerge with a familiar bowl of food.
A bowl of overcooked spicy hotpot.
Chen Yuting cutely stuck out her tongue, saying a little sheepishly:
“It might have been in the pot keeping warm for too long; it turned out like this as soon as I served it.”
Gu Qinghan watched Chen Yuting awkwardly place the bowl and chopsticks in front of him, and he took them without any hesitation.
Then, like a homeless man who hadn't eaten for days, he devoured the entire bowl of food.
“The familiar taste, exactly the same as the first time I ate it.”
Gu Qinghan smiled, and Chen Yuting was also stunned.
Afterward, Gu Qinghan put down the bowl and chopsticks, pulled Chen Yuting, and walked out.
“Where are we going? Let’s clean up the dishes first.”
“Someone will clean them up. We’re going to do something important.
Whale Fall City has recently welcomed a lot of new blood, so let’s take this opportunity to hold a sparring competition to let everyone get to know each other.”
Hearing Gu Qinghan’s explanation, Chen Yuting nodded, but still said:
“Then you just go, why did you tell me not to reveal my Holy Class identity yet?”
Gu Qinghan didn't look back, just held Chen Yuting's hand tightly:
“You definitely have to go. You are the mistress of Whale Fall City; how can you be absent from such an occasion?”
Chen Yuting was startled, then her small hand clasped Gu Qinghan’s large hand in return, a smile playing on her lips as she followed him out of the room.
At this time, it was already eight or nine in the morning on the second day in the real world, and Gu Qinghan quickly found Piao Jun to explain his plan.
As a result, Piao Jun, who had been looking worried upon seeing Gu Qinghan, suddenly beamed with joy, his back no longer aching and his legs no longer hurting.
He patted his chest loudly and guaranteed:
“Don’t worry, I’ll give you a plan for this immediately, and we’ll try to finish the competition today.”
And Piao Jun's efficiency was indeed reassuring; Gu Qinghan waited for less than an hour, and Piao Jun announced that everything was ready.
Actually, Gu Qinghan didn't have to organize this competition, but he also felt that he had been a hands-off boss for too long and should fulfill some of his duties as City Lord.
So, he also took out a large number of equipment and items to incentivize these Professionals to participate in the competition.
As for the source of these equipment and items, the vast majority came from the enemies Gu Qinghan had killed previously.
At the same time, in this competition, Gu Qinghan could also clearly see the advantages and disadvantages of each class, allowing him to better decide which class skills to choose.
Most importantly, after this competition, people who might have been somewhat unfamiliar with each other would gain a better understanding.
With so many benefits, Gu Qinghan had no reason not to host this competition.
In Piao Jun’s words, it was:
“Heavens and Earth, you old man finally did something human!”
In Whale Fall City, there were already over a thousand combat personnel, and including logistics personnel, the number reached two thousand.
And this time, almost everyone put down what they were doing and wanted to watch this competition organized by the City Lord.
Even some Professionals who had gone out to hunt Dragonized Mutated Creatures rushed back quickly after being notified by their companions.
Piao Jun's rules were simple, displayed in poster form near the venue.
First, these Professionals were to form teams of five as specified.
Secondly, participating Professionals’ levels could not be lower than level 30, but also not higher than level 40.
After all, the average level of players at this stage was around 30, and Whale Fall City had many strong individuals, so this condition was not difficult.
Even those brought back by Gu Qinghan had already met the participation requirements during this period.
Those with too high a level would create a crushing situation, making the competition meaningless.
There were no restrictions on the class composition of teams, but there was one strict rule: absolutely no lethal blows.
This was something Gu Qinghan heavily emphasized; violators would be executed on the spot.
After all, Whale Fall City needed companions who could trust each other, not someone without a bottom line.
