34: Exclusive skills, the ending is always sad.

“This is the potential growth star rating for a Brilliant-tier profession…”

Chen Beixuan’s breathing quickened, deeply shaken.

His Attack Potential was as high as six stars, meaning every 1 point of Intelligence could be converted into 6 points of Attack.

He remembered that a Necromancer’s Attack Potential was 5 stars, a Hidden Profession’s was 4 points, and a regular Transferred Profession might only have 3 points.

His other attribute potentials also increased significantly.

And this was just the increase in basic attributes; he hadn't even checked the profession skills yet!

Chen Beixuan clicked on his profession, and three profession-exclusive skills appeared.

— — — — — —

(Every 50 levels, there will be a qualitative leap, and attribute points and skills will change.)

【Chaos Power】: Exclusive Passive ★

Description: Your skills possess the power to open up the heavens and earth. All skill base damage is increased by 200% (each star +50%, an additional effect appears at 5 stars).

【Chaos Body】: Exclusive Passive ★

Description: Your body possesses the ability to bear all things. Damage Reduction +20% (each star +5%, an additional effect appears at 5 stars).

【Void Escape】: Exclusive Skill ★

Description: After use, you can Void Escape to move. During this time, you gain invincibility, cannot attack, cannot be targeted, lasts 1 second, cooldown 30 seconds, mana cost 50.

Note: Every 10 levels gained, profession exclusive skills increase by 1 star; and a new exclusive skill is gained every 10 levels (key point: new exclusive skills get stronger the further you go).

“All skill damage increased by 200%, and it can continuously upgrade, damage reduction… invincibility…”

“A Brilliant-tier Hidden Profession is indeed terrifying…”

Chen Beixuan smacked his lips, not knowing what else to say.

Perhaps only those three words could represent his current mood.

“Is! There! Anyone—else?!”

Stat monster?

Oh, it truly smells good…

After a brief moment of excitement, he clicked on the two newly acquired titles.

【Dust Rider】: Proof of Bronze-tier BOSS First Kill. Equipment Drop Rate +150%.

【Lonely Brave】: Proof of Solo First Clear of a Level 20 Hidden Dungeon. When entering a dungeon solo, Magic/Physical Attack +30%.

— — — — — —

“From now on, when entering dungeons, my Magic Attack will increase by 50%. A very practical title.”

Chen Beixuan closed the interface and casually clicked on the golden entry he had just acquired.

【Effect Amplification】: Gold Quality

Effect Description: Special effect duration increased by 200%, including but not limited to (Freezing, continuous damage, invincibility, various buffs, crowd control……).

— — — — — —

“This entry… is perfect for Freezing Spell!”

Chen Beixuan’s eyes lit up after reading it, and he made his decision.

He had also considered giving it to the Void Escape skill to extend the invincibility duration.

But after careful deliberation, he still felt that Freezing Spell was more suitable.

One second of invincibility was enough to deal with most crises; he currently needed more crowd control.

A 2.5-second Freezing Spell turning into 7.5 seconds would allow him to cast Lightning Spell one more time.

Perhaps one more Lightning Spell could turn the tide and play a crucial role.

“7.5 seconds of immobility, just thinking about it is terrifying. It’s also a divine skill for PK…”

“Hmm… no, it’s not really useful for PK. Pure damage would just kill them…”

Chen Beixuan stroked his chin, thinking this to himself.

Snapping back to reality, the harvest tally was complete, with only the Epic-tier pet egg remaining.

【Pet Egg】: Epic-tier

Description: A mysterious pet egg. What you get depends entirely on luck…

Note: After Level 20, you can go to the Pet Shop in the main city for appraisal. It can be hatched after appraisal.

— — — — — —

Chen Beixuan: “……”

At this moment, he felt the deep malice this game held for him.

Couldn’t it just be a fixed hatch? Did it have to rely on luck?

“Forget it, I can’t open it until Level 20 anyway. I’ll worry about it then.”

Stuffing the pet egg back into his backpack, Chen Beixuan looked around and found the unconscious Dean.

“Wake up, it’s over. Time to go.”

As he kept nudging him, Dean slowly woke up.

When he first opened his eyes, he was still a bit dazed, rubbing the back of his head and grimacing in pain.

“Ugh… it hurts so much…”

But he quickly reacted, pulling Chen Beixuan nervously and asking,

“Old man, where is Keia? Where is she?”

“Keia, she…”

Chen Beixuan’s expression was troubled, and he couldn’t help but scratch his hair.

“What happened to her? Is she not here? Old man, please tell me quickly!”

Under Dean’s repeated questioning, he took a deep breath.

He said solemnly, “Keia… is gone…”

Upon hearing this, Dean was struck by lightning, frozen in place.

He widened his eyes in disbelief, shaking his head distractedly, muttering to himself.

“No… it can’t be…”

“How could Keia die… I saw her just a few days ago…”

“It’s fake, it must be fake, she must still be locked up somewhere!”

“…Old man, please help me find her. This is all my gold coins, I’ll give them all to you…!”

Dean grabbed Chen Beixuan’s sleeve, crying profusely.

He tried to give him the gold coins in his hand, but they slipped and scattered all over the ground…

Dean’s heart also scattered along with them…

Chen Beixuan watched this scene with complex eyes, remaining silent.

Reason told him that this was just a game, not real.

But after this quest, for the first time, he began to have doubts.

Such genuine emotions, were they just game plot, a pre-set script?

Or… was this another real world?

He didn’t know, and he wasn’t sure…

If one day someone told him that the game was real, he would most likely believe them.

After all… if something like transmigration could happen, what else couldn’t be believed?

While he was thinking, Dean gradually accepted reality.

Looking at the scene and the two corpses, he remained silent for a long time.

He silently picked up all the gold coins, handed them to Chen Beixuan, and then left without a word.

[Ding! You have completed B-tier Hidden Quest [Tell the Truth], rewarded 900 experience points, Gold +50!]

The moment he learned the truth, the quest changed to telling Dean the truth.

After the reward, there were no more quest prompts, indicating that the continuous quest had completely ended.

Chen Beixuan sighed softly, took his staff, and left the dungeon.

Outside the cave, Dean was no longer there.

Without lingering, Chen Beixuan went directly down the mountain and headed back.

Reaching the foot of the mountain, he looked back at Fengshi Mountain.

Light Knight Green probably never imagined he would become a man-eating madman.

Perhaps when the village elders met him in their youth, he hadn't yet lost his mind...

The ending of the story was always regrettable, but fortunately, he had gained a lot from this trip.

If he had to describe it in one word, it would be…

…He struck it rich!

“Time to level up…”

Chen Beixuan grinned, shaking his head as he turned and left.

……

City of Radiance.

Light Church Tower.

An apostle hurriedly knocked on the bishop’s door, looking flustered.

“Your Grace, something is wrong, the seal on Fengshi Mountain… has disappeared…”

“What?!”

The corpulent bishop shot up from his bed, unable to believe his ears.

“Your Grace, the thing under Fengshi Mountain has escaped!” the apostle quickly repeated.

“Hiss——”

Bishop Martin gasped.

What had escaped was Shady Demon, one of the Twelve Demon Generals!

Once he recovered his strength, he would definitely come looking for the City of Radiance to settle scores.

“This is a big problem now. Quick, help me contact the City Lord’s Mansion…”

“…No, I’ll go myself.”

Martin’s expression was grave. He got out of bed, put on his robe, and hurried away…
