Chapter 64 Hidden Professions
Chapter 64 Hidden Professions
The stars were hidden, and the night was as dark as mist.
Lu Chao was hunting Night Beasts atop Dogtooth Mountain.
The Dogtooth Cave dungeon is gone, and the Tengu Secret Realm is gone too. The mountaintop now resembles a volcano, with a deep, circular pit. The night beasts that spawn there are generally between level 15 and 20, and are stronger than the night beasts in other wild areas.
"I'll grind a little longer, upgrade [The Twelve Hatreds of the Sword Immortal] to LV4, then go to sleep!"
Lu Chao muttered to himself. In fact, he was also a little tired at this moment. After all, he was just a mortal with flesh and blood, and it was inevitable that his physical strength would decline. He was able to fight continuously because of his perseverance.
In the end, Lu Chao worked until the early hours of the morning, managing to grind the [Twelve Hatreds of the Sword Immortal] to LV5 before returning to his cave to rest.
The next day, before 10 a.m., Lu Chaoding got up again, full of fighting spirit, and continued to level up [Sword Immortal Twelve Hatreds], ignoring everything else, not even going to the Great Sword Breaking Void Mountain.
At noon, Lu Chao was taking a short rest on a rock. He had just taken a couple of bites of compressed biscuits when the Jade of Connection automatically flew out of his storage space. Ye Cuihua's voice came from within: "Junior Brother, have my father's remains still not found? Never mind, delay might cause complications. I'll go search for them myself!"
With a snap.
The jade pendant has shattered!
Lu Chao immediately received another system notification: "Ding, please complete the special opportunity mission [Searching for the Remains] as soon as possible. The mission ends at 18 PM today and will be invalid after that time."
"This task actually has a time limit?"
Lu Chao didn't even bother with the biscuits anymore; he rode a tiger and flew on his sword, immediately heading out to sea.
Two hours later, he arrived at the island, and the plot was triggered the moment he stepped onto the seaside reef.
The magnificent miniature ship broke through the light barrier and landed on the island.
"Lu Chao is my junior brother!"
Niu Daren and Ye Cuihua flew off the boat hand in hand. Ye Cuihua asked with a look of surprise, "Junior Brother, have you found my father's remains?"
Lu Chao replied, "I have lived up to your expectations and exceeded the mission. Not only have I found your father's remains, but I have found 26 sets of them!"
After speaking, Lu Chaoding opened his storage space and neatly arranged the 26 skeletons of Ye Linlang in front of Ye Cuihua and Niu Daren.
"That's great..."
Ye Cuihua's expression immediately switched back and forth between surprise and confusion in a bizarre way.
Niu Daren, on the other hand, maintained a sculpted smile.
"You can inspect the goods if you don't believe me. I guarantee they're all genuine. I'll compensate you tenfold if they're fake!" Lu Chaoding said with a smile.
Niu Daren said, "It is indeed without a doubt the remains of Senior Ye!"
Ye Cuihua's expression was twisted, yet she still said, "Junior Brother's skills are truly admirable. Alas, back then, my father was misled by treacherous people and ventured alone into the Great Sword Sect, ultimately perishing. It has been twenty years since then, and only now, as his unfilial descendant, have I brought back his ten sets of remains... Junior Brother Lu Chaoding, please accept Ye Cuihua's bow!"
"Senior Sister-in-law, there's no need for formalities. Just keep your promise and give me the inheritance of the Ancient Sword Cultivation!"
"Of course!"
As she spoke, Ye Cuihua waved her sleeve, and one of Ye Linlang's skeletons disappeared. She paused for a moment, then waved her sleeve again, and a second of Ye Linlang's skeletons disappeared. She then waved her sleeve again and again, collecting 10 skeletons of Ye Linlang in a row.
Then, Ye Cuihua took the initiative.
"What's wrong? Did it crash?"
Lu Chao's heart tightened, and he hurriedly said, "Senior Sister-in-law, Senior Sister-in-law, what's wrong? Senior Sister-in-law, you can't crash! The reward hasn't been given yet!"
Fortunately, after only five breaths, Ye Cuihua moved again. She took out a jade piece from her bosom and was about to hand it to Lu Chaoding when she pulled her arm back. Then she took out a second jade piece from her bosom. When Lu Chaoding tried to take it, she pulled her arm back again. She repeated the action in a strange manner, and finally presented ten jade pieces to Lu Chaoding with both hands.
Without a doubt, those ten jade pieces are the "ancient sword cultivator's inheritance".
Lu Chaoding secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He glanced at the 16 remains of Ye Linlang on the ground and said, "Senior Sister-in-law, look, these remaining 16 remains are also genuine. Why don't we take them too? We can just give them a small reward."
As he spoke, he happily accepted the ten jade pieces, but before he could even examine them, he immediately received a system notification: "Ding! Congratulations on obtaining a Fortuitous Item. Automatically receive the Fortuitous Quest: Use the Inheritance Jade Talisman to change your class to a hidden class, gain class traits, and receive a cultivation reward of +1000 upon completion!"
"Ding! The occasionally unreliable system has activated, updating the tracking mission: Use 10 Inheritance Jade Tokens to change your class to a hidden class, gain 10 class traits, and receive a cultivation reward of -1000 upon completion!"
Lu Chao was startled.
Hidden profession!
He quickly examined the jade piece in his hand.
These are already bound to Lu Chaoding and are all job-change jade talismans, corresponding to ten hidden jobs. After use, they can be changed to the following jobs: [Multi-Treasure Sword Immortal], [Azure Lotus Sword Immortal], [Shangqing Sword Immortal], [Dayan Sword Immortal], [Yin Yang Sword Immortal], [Daluo Sword Immortal], [Taiji Sword Immortal], [Wuji Sword Immortal], [Moral Sword Immortal], and [Yellow Spring Sword Immortal].
However, it is clear that ordinary players who obtain these job change jade tokens can only change to a hidden job and gain a job trait. Using them more often will only result in constantly changing jobs and switching jobs, and it is absolutely impossible to stack job traits.
However, at Lu Chaoding, there are occasional unreliable system tamperings that might allow one to simultaneously change to ten hidden professions.
Lu Chaoding immediately became excited and roared, "Ten hidden professions!"
He couldn't wait and immediately used the job change jade talisman, instantly receiving a system notification: "Ding! You have used the [Multi-Treasure Sword Immortal] job change jade talisman, changing your job to [Multi-Treasure Sword Immortal]. You have gained the following job trait: For every 10 levels your character gains, you will gain one more weapon slot, costume slot, backpack slot, and accessory slot!"
"Ding! You have used the [Azure Lotus Sword Immortal] class change jade talisman and gained the following class trait: Upon entering battle, your battle spirit will immediately reach full value, and you will automatically gain a certain amount of battle spirit at the start of your turn..."
"Ding! You have used the [Moral Sword Immortal] class change jade talisman and gained the following class trait: After being attacked, you will not enter the combat space; for every 10 levels your character gains, your number of saving throws increases by 1..."
"Ding! You have used the [Shangqing Sword Immortal] class change jade talisman and gained the following class trait: Increases the level cap of all secret skills. For every 10 levels your character gains, the level cap increases by 1..."
"Ding! You have used the [Great Evolution Sword Immortal] class change jade talisman and gained the following class trait: Increases the level cap of all combat skills. For every 10 levels your character gains, the level cap increases by 1..."
"Ding! You have used the [Great Luo Sword Immortal] class change jade talisman and gained the following class trait: Increases the level cap of all ultimate skills. For every 10 levels your character gains, the level cap increases by 1..."
Lu Chao used up all ten inheritance jade talismans. In name, he was still the first to change his class to "Multi-Treasure Sword Immortal", but his class characteristics were actually stacked.
"Haha, I'm taking off! I'm taking off! No, I'm ascending! I'm ascending!"
He roared excitedly.
But at that moment, Lu Chaoding received another system notification: "Ding, unknown error detected, automatic repair!"
Boom boom boom!
Suddenly, lightning struck from the clear sky, hitting Lu Chao on the head and making him shiver as if he had been electrocuted.
Holy crap!
Lu Chaoding was conscious. He felt excruciating pain, and when he opened his mouth, he exhaled a puff of thick smoke. Then he received a system notification: "Ding, automatic repair!"
Immediately, another bolt of lightning struck, and Lu Chaoding had no chance to dodge it, so he was struck stiffly and trembled.
"Ding! The occasionally unreliable system has activated to protect the host program's operation!"
"Ding! Please continue to endure system lightning strikes. The occasionally unreliable system is searching for vulnerabilities in the order system and developing a modification plan!"
"Ding! Protection scheme successfully rewritten. Congratulations, host, on your job change to the hidden profession [Shangqing Daode Yin Yang Wuji Huangquan Qinglian Dayan Taiji Jiluo Duobao Sword Immortal], abbreviated as Duobao Sword Immortal. Special characteristics have been reshaped and integrated, sometimes working and sometimes not. Please accept the system's lightning strike with peace of mind. This system has done its best. If you are satisfied, please give it a five-star rating!"
Rumble rumble rumble...
The system kept striking, and Lu Chao's body stiffened. He stammered, "Trash, you trash system, one-star review..."
