64: fine

"What are you talking about?"

The old man was a bit confused after hearing Li Si's words. However, as soon as he saw Li Si's condition, he understood what Li Si meant.

"Young man, it's okay to fail, just try harder next time. Also, take my advice, you can't handle a Mythological profession, don't aim too high."

Seeing Li Si come out so quickly, and covered in abnormal statuses, the old man subconsciously thought Li Si had failed the Calamity Trial.

"Who said I failed?"

Li Si raised an eyebrow and casually pulled out the Profession Transfer Certificate, waving it in front of the old man.

【Source of Calamity】: After use, you can obtain the Mythological-grade profession — Calamity Knight, a powerful profession that controls terrifying Calamity abnormalities.

"You... you actually passed?" The old man's eyes widened like ping-pong balls, utterly shocked, as he frantically scrutinized Li Si, sensing Li Si's aura with his spirit —

Life Elf, Arrow of the Wilderness - Physique, Extreme Intent Sword Dao, Brilliant Starlight, and a mysterious great power. This kid... what's his background?

At this moment, the expression on the old man's face was no longer shock, but fear of the unknown.

"Pop!"

Li Si crushed the Source of Calamity, and in an instant, endless black and red light surged, flowing into his body.

【Ding!】

【Congratulations, you have obtained the combat profession — Calamity Knight.】

【Ding!】

【Congratulations, you have become immune to — the abnormal damage of Calamity Touch.】

"...Immune?"

Li Si was overjoyed; immediately, his health bar stopped decreasing and began to slowly rise.

It should be the effect of Calamity Knight.

He quickly opened the profession panel and saw black and red text appear below Great Wilderness Archer —

【Calamity Knight】 (First Transfer)

Quality: Mythological

Skills: 【Calamity Demonic Physique max (Mythological)】 【Calamity Arrival max (Mythological)】

Description: An unparalleled inheritance containing the terrifying power of calamity. Players will automatically complete their second transfer and unlock more profession skills upon reaching level 30.

Like the Great Wilderness Archer, it also had two profession skills, and both were Mythological quality max.

Li Si clicked on the first profession skill.

【Calamity Demonic Physique max】

Quality: Mythological

Passive: Max HP +30%, Max Defense +20%. (Defense includes Armor and Magic Resist)

Passive: Immune to six types of abnormal damage below Mythological grade: Poison, Burn, Electrocute, Freeze, Corrode, Plague. (Including Mythological grade)

Description: Wielding calamity requires a physique as sturdy as a mountain. Constantly accompanied by calamity abnormalities, the physique becomes indestructible.

"...Awesome."

Calamity Demonic Physique was almost identical to Arrow of the Wilderness - Physique.

Arrow of the Wilderness - Physique had a 60% bonus, while Calamity Demonic Physique had a 50% bonus, but Calamity Demonic Physique had the added effect of immunity to abnormal damage. Therefore, overall, the two skills were evenly matched.

No wonder he could be immune to the Boss's Calamity Touch.

If Mythological-grade abnormal damage could be immunized, what about the abnormal damage of a purple Boss?

Li Si thought that trading 10% attribute bonus for Mythological-grade abnormal damage immunity was very worthwhile.

He then continued to check the second profession skill —

【Calamity Arrival max】

Quality: Mythological

Passive: Attacks carry a Calamity effect, applying Poison, Burn, Electrocute, Freeze, Corrode, and Plague abnormalities to the target. Each abnormality deals 【Attack * 50%】 damage per second, and the abnormality lasts for 20 seconds.

Description: The terrifying calamity is about to descend!

"...Unbelievable!"

Li Si's eyes widened.

The effect of Calamity Arrival was too powerful; with six abnormalities stacked, it was 300% of attack power per second. With the Great Wilderness Bow's 100% bonus, it was 600% of attack power per second.

"I currently have 326 attack."

Li Si calculated in his mind and reached the final conclusion —

1956 points of abnormal damage per second.

After 20 seconds, the damage would stack up to nearly 40,000.

"Too abnormal!!"

...At this moment, the old man slowly recovered from his shock, looking at Li Si with eyes shining with pleasant surprise.

Fortune bestowed, destiny's chosen.

This young man should be the fated person of this Fallen God Disturbance.

"Young man, I have another quest here, are you willing to accept it?"

"What quest?"

Li Si closed the profession interface and looked at the excited old man.

"Have you... heard of the Fallen God Disturbance?"

The old man took a deep breath and slowly began to recount —

【Ding!】

【Congratulations, you have triggered the hidden quest — Signs of the Fallen God Disturbance (Star rating fluctuates).】

【In the frontier town south of Luanxing City, signs of the Fallen God Disturbance are suspected to have appeared. Please proceed as soon as possible to investigate what these signs are and the cause of their appearance. You will receive — a Skill Slot Expansion Crystal.】

The quest reward was actually a Skill Slot Expansion Crystal!!

Hesitating for a second would be disrespectful to the Expansion Crystal. Li Si immediately accepted the quest and then said, "How do I contact you after completing the quest?"

"There's a Baiyun Abode in the back alley; I'm usually there most of the time." The old man's voice gradually became ethereal, and in a blink of an eye, he transformed into strands of holy light and vanished from where he stood.

At this moment, Qian Duoduo sent a private message: "Boss, I successfully captured a mountain stronghold in Blackwind Stronghold, making Way of Feet famous. Now, my Way of Feet already has a thousand members."

"Congratulations."

Li Si replied to the message.

"Thump thump thump..."

The ground suddenly vibrated, and a team of NPC soldiers quickly arrived from a distance, surrounding Li Si.

"Bold Kuangtu, your sins are grave, come with me." The Team Leader of the soldiers said coldly.

Damn it!

I forgot about being red-named.

At this moment, Li Si belatedly realized that he was still in red-named status. He couldn't be caught by an NPC, otherwise, for every point of sin value, he'd be jailed for an hour. With over 800 points of sin value, wouldn't he be in jail forever?

"Officer, I'll leave Luanxing City right away. Please be lenient, show some understanding." Li Si took out 10 gold coins from his backpack and quietly slipped them into the Team Leader's hand.

The Team Leader smiled as he pocketed the gold coins, then his face suddenly turned as cold as ice as he rebuked, "You audacious Kuangtu, how dare you bribe this Team Leader? Your crime is compounded, and your imprisonment time is doubled."

...Damn it, not only did he take my money and do nothing, but he also added to my crimes?" Li Si absolutely couldn't tolerate this.

F*ck!

He immediately activated his system's detection ability to check the soldiers' attributes. If their level was low, Li Si decided to fight back and kill the Team Leader.

【Team Leader — Wang Rui Niu】 (Blue Boss)

Level: 30

HP: 70000

Attack: 240-250

Armor: 20 (Physical damage taken reduced by 16.7%)

Magic Resist: 20 (Magic damage taken reduced by 16.7%)

Talents: 【Greed】 【Bully the Weak, Fear the Strong】 【Boss Power】

Skills: 【Longblade Mastery】 【Block】 【Triple Slash】 【Whirlwind Slash】

Description: A Team Leader of the guards in Luanxing City, backed by the city's Vice General — Wang Ruihu. Relying on Wang Ruihu's authority, he is insatiably greedy, bullies men and women, and has an extremely bad reputation in Luanxing City.

Just a level 30 blue Boss.

Li Si didn't pay him any mind, but the city's Vice General — Wang Ruihu, did make Li Si wary. To be a Vice General of a major city, Wang Ruihu was definitely not simple.

"Young man, the crimes you've committed are too numerous to count, and now you even try to bribe this Team Leader? That's adding crime upon crime. I've decided to punish you for both offenses and sentence you to one year of imprisonment. However, if you can produce a fine of 1000 gold coins, this one year of imprisonment can be waived. Otherwise, you'll just have to honestly stay in jail for a year."

Wang Rui Niu, the Team Leader, had a strong look of greed in his eyes.

1000 gold coins! This was no longer just an exorbitant demand, but a desire for Li Si's death.

One must know that since the server opened, Li Si had cumulatively killed dozens of Bosses and completed dozens of quests, yet he only had 300 gold coins. Wang Rui Niu asking for 1000 gold coins, wasn't that just wanting Li Si to die?

A playful smirk appeared on Wang Rui Niu's lips. In fact, he wasn't short on gold coins; all his actions were for amusement. Seeing others struggle bitterly brought him immense joy.

"Young man, have you considered paying the 1000 gold coin fine? This Team Leader will show mercy one last time and give you fifteen minutes to gather the fine."

Heh heh... When this kid gathers the fine, and hope fills his heart, then to shatter that hope, what kind of expression will he make?

Hahahaha... How delightful!

Wang Rui Niu's anticipation was intensely building...
