21: Old man Chen has created a hidden profession! It's about to take off again!

“Of course not, I only have this one copy. Consider it compensation for my previous rudeness…”

The village chief’s attitude did a complete 180-degree turn, becoming very respectful.

Chen Beixuan nodded in satisfaction.

That’s more like it…

He then checked the recommendation letter; there was nothing special about it.

It was a normal class change recommendation letter that anyone reaching Level 10 would receive, allowing them to initiate a standard class change by presenting it to the staff at the main city’s class change hall.

He had a hidden class change item, so this item wasn’t very useful to him.

At this point, he had been playing for over seven hours, and he would be forcibly logged off once he reached eight hours.

To ensure the normal functioning of the real world, the officials limited daily playtime to 8 hours.

The staff had informed him of this when he bought the helmet.

With a little time left, he decided to go to the main city’s class change hall to check it out.

If there were no better options, he would reluctantly have to change to a Necromancer…

Having made up his mind.

He followed the village chief’s guidance and stepped onto the teleportation array.

The scenery before his eyes rapidly changed, and the next second, he appeared in a grand and massive town.

The streets were bustling with people, all NPCs, with no sign of players.

The buildings in the city were diverse, towering and varied, with a style leaning towards medieval Western architecture.

In the distance, the colossal arena, magic tower, Adventurer’s Guild, and other landmark buildings were extremely conspicuous.

As soon as he arrived, he received a system notification.

“Ding! You have unlocked a new map [City of Radiance]. A server-wide announcement will be made soon. Do you wish to hide your name?”

“No.”

The server-wide announcement rang out!

“Server Announcement: Congratulations to player Old Man Chen for being the first to reach Level 10 and enter the main city. This is a special announcement. We hope all players will continue to strive!”

“Server Announcement: Congratulations to player Old Man Chen for being the first…”

…

“Ding! As the first player to enter the main city on the entire server, you have received 10 Free Attribute Points, 5 Gold Coins, a Class Change Item [Heart of Radiance], and the title: [The First One]!”

“Hmm? Another class change item?”

Chen Beixuan raised an eyebrow and opened his inventory to check.

[Heart of Radiance]: Gold Class Change Item

Description: Use to initiate a class change quest. Upon completion, you will change to the unique hidden class [Arbiter]. Untradeable.

Note: Changing to an Arbiter will prevent you from leaving the Light Faction. Please choose carefully.

——————

“Arbiter… the name sounds cool…”

It was another unique hidden class, so its strength was definitely there.

However… the inability to leave the Light Faction made him smell a hint of conspiracy.

Logically, there shouldn’t be such a prompt, but it had indeed appeared now.

Could it be… becoming an Arbiter would mean working for the Light Faction for free?

Chen Beixuan’s heart sank.

Being tied to one place and losing freedom was something he had endured for many years, and he didn’t want it to be the same in a game.

“…I can only change to a Necromancer then…”

He sighed helplessly, muttering to himself.

“Old Man Chen, you actually have a third option!”

Suddenly, a familiar voice came from behind him, causing him to narrow his eyes.

Turning around, it was indeed the Voyager, Roma!

“You’ve been following me?” Chen Beixuan was secretly wary.

“That’s not important. What’s important is that I can solve your dilemma.”

Roma cleverly avoided the topic, smiling and raising an eyebrow at him.

“To simultaneously possess class change items for both a Necromancer and an Arbiter, which are diametrically opposed, your luck is truly good.”

“No matter which one you choose, the other will be wasted. It’s truly a pity.”

As he spoke, he took out a strangely colored stone from his leather bag and continued,

“This is called a Fusion Stone. It’s quite rare. It can merge two items into a new item, and both its quality and level will increase. Do you want it?”

Chen Beixuan glanced at the stone in his hand and said directly, “What are the conditions?”

He didn’t think Roma would be so kind; there must be additional conditions.

He had taken the other party’s divine artifact, so Roma probably wanted to kill him. How could he possibly help him?

“The condition… how about exchanging it for the divine artifact you took?”

Roma said with a smile, as if he had already thought of the condition.

Actually, his original intention was to give it to the other party directly, but due to the rules, he could only exchange it at an equal price.

After observing him along the way.

He found that, apart from occasional greed, Chen Beixuan’s character was quite okay, making him worth a casual investment.

When future crises arrived, he would also be a great help.

Chen Beixuan fell into thought upon hearing this…

Exchanging a divine artifact for a stone seemed like a huge loss for him.

But then he thought, reaching Level 50 would take forever, and if he didn’t exchange it, it would just sit in his bag gathering dust.

If he could get a super powerful class in return, his attributes would definitely skyrocket.

It was a tangible benefit that would genuinely fall into his hands.

Between something he could see but not use, and something he could use but didn’t look good, he chose to use it first.

“I want to check if the stone is real.”

Chen Beixuan took a deep breath and said.

“Alright.”

Roma smiled and handed him the stone.

The stone was palm-sized, heavy in his hand, and glowed with colorful light.

[Item Fusion Stone]: Gold Divine Artifact Quality

Description: Can merge any two items into a higher quality and level item of the same type. Single-use item.

——————

“Okay, I agree. Here, your divine artifact.”

After checking that there were no issues, Chen Beixuan tossed the divine artifact robe from his bag over.

Roma smiled as he put away the robe, his eyes filled with deep appreciation.

Being able to make the correct choice based on one’s actual situation was a rare quality.

“Keep going, don’t give up halfway. I’m leaving.”

Roma gave him a meaningful look, then turned and left.

The nonsensical remark left Chen Beixuan somewhat bewildered.

“So mysterious…”

He withdrew his gaze and began to fuse the items.

After choosing to use it, a fusion interface immediately appeared before him.

There were two slots on it, which should be where the items were placed.

He placed the Necromancer’s Skull and the Heart of Radiance into them respectively, and the fusion button lit up.

He took a few deep breaths to steady himself, then raised his hand and clicked “Fuse”!

Fuse!

A seven-colored light suddenly flared!

Once the light dissipated.

A stone with two opposing colors, yin and yang, appeared in his hand!

Immediately after, a message notification sounded!

“Ding! Fusion complete! You have obtained the Class Change Item [Chaos Divine Stone]!”

[Chaos Divine Stone]: Class Change Item

Description: Use to initiate a class change quest. Upon completion, you will change to the unique hidden class [Chaos Mage]. Untradeable.

——————

[Chaos Mage]: Unique Hidden Class (Brilliant Tier)

Description: A Chaos Mage who simultaneously wields both light and darkness, originating from the very beginning of the world’s creation. However, due to their immense power, they are not tolerated by the world.

——————

“Hiss—”

Chen Beixuan couldn’t help but gasp.

“Chaos Mage, Brilliant Tier!”

The only thing on him linked to ‘Brilliant’ was the ‘Power of Divine Punishment’ Brilliant attribute!

It had turned his Lightning Spell into true damage!

If a Brilliant-tier attribute was so powerful, then a Brilliant-tier class…

It was simply unimaginable!

“This time… I hit the jackpot!”

His eyes sparkled, and his heart was filled with excitement.
