Chapter 524: How Come This Profession is a Blind Man?!

Watching Boss Fang clear the Kings-grade Dark Thunderland, and gaining insights into conquering high-difficulty dungeons, many people felt their hands itch with anticipation as they prepared themselves.

The precious nature of Fatigue Points also made most players grow cautious; without absolute certainty, they dared not casually challenge those high-difficulty dungeons that exceeded their estimations, finally possessing a sliver of self-awareness.

Dungeon and Fighter, in its system version, was said to feature five major base classes, but in reality, there were nearly forty distinct classes at the current stage.

Each class was not merely divided into four different paths after advancement; in truth, males and females mostly belonged to two entirely separate systems—taking the Ghost Knight as an example, the male Ghost Knight's ghost hand turned red due to the influence of Kazan Syndrome, whereas the female Ghost Knight's was a result of metastasizing energy.

They were inherently disparate.

And after advancing their classes, the divergence between the two grew even wider; the male Ghost Knight's first class advancement was split into Blade Master, Berserker, Asura, and Soul Bender, while the female Ghost Knight advanced into Sword Master, Demon Slayer, Vagabond, and Dark Templar.

Even though both deeply studied the way of the sword, the basic swordsmanship used by the Blade Master and the Sword Master differed; the Blade Master utilized Secret Sword Art, whereas the Sword Master employed the Imperial Sword Technique.

The Imperial Sword Technique was rumored to be an ultimate swordsmanship passed down from ancient times, known as the "Sword-Wielding Art," its origins untraceable, said to have been created by a certain Sword God who combined various sword styles and martial arts, emphasizing instantaneous strikes and possessing extremely terrifying destructive power.

Judging from the manner of drawing the sword, it closely resembled Vergil's Judgment Cut method of unsheathing.

...

Class advancement—they might have shared the same class just a moment ago, but from this instant onward, each of them would likely walk down a completely distinct path.

"Senior Sister, which class do you plan to advance into?" nearby, Mu Qing and Yue Bai discussed in hushed tones.

"Me... the Imperial Sword Technique, I suppose..."

On the other side, the City Master of Yuanyang City, Zong Wu, also looked at Nalan Hongwu beside his seat, asking, "Brother Nalan, what do you plan to advance into?"

"Hahaha! Blade Master, of course!" Nalan Hongwu looked at the incredibly youthful game character on the computer screen and said, "What about you, old brother?"

"My martial arts heritage stems from the Haotian Academy lineage... it is actually quite different from the swordsmanship of the Blade Master." He shook his head. "I took a look, and it seems rather close to the Asura class. I intend to give that a try."

"Come, come, let's form a party first and clear a Master-grade Dark Thunderland!"

"Add another one! Add another one!" Su Tianji immediately leaned over.

"Me too!" An Huwei also rushed over to hitch a ride; these mages of theirs were clearly playing with a deep sense of unyielding awkwardness, and going outside to join random public parties was an unspeakably painful ordeal.

As for Jiang Xiaoyuan...

At this time, Boss Fang had finished all his runs, and Jiang Xiaoyuan had just completed her final one as well.

Yet lacking Fatigue Points did not mean there was nothing left to do while remaining in the game.

For instance, as mentioned before, within the massive city of Hendon Myre, all walks of life came and went, with different events transpiring every day and various quests available that did not necessarily require entering a dungeon.

And completing these quests could yield rewards such as reputation, gold coins, and even equipment.

Of course, if one had no interest in these, they could alternatively head to Pungjin's Dojo to engage in a hearty, dripping-wet duel against adventurers or players from all over the world.

And if one had absolutely no interest in any of that, like Boss Fang—one could only watch as Boss Fang exited to the character selection screen, created a character within his Explorer Club, once again choosing a Ghost Knight with the ID Red Lord, then created a third Ghost Knight with the ID Black Duke, and a fourth named Asura in the Gutter.

Regardless of whether he would play them or not, he secured the IDs first.

Next, he created two Fighters and Male Launchers, entering the game after typing in IDs like "One Bullet Eliminates One Comrade."

Among most games in the shop, there was rarely such a concept as an alternate account, but Dungeon and Fighter was different; the upper limit for character creation was high enough to establish an entire Explorer Club.

Naturally, whether he had the time to play so many classes was another matter entirely.

Just as Boss Fang was playing his alternate accounts, players from the Dajin Kingdom and the Desolate Sea Region, such as Nalan Hongwu, succeeded in advancing their classes one after another.

For example, Nalan Hongwu advanced to become a glorious Blade Master.

Zong Wu also obtained his heart's desire, becoming an Asura.

An Huwei advanced to become a Glacial Master among the Male Mages.

As for the other classes... it wasn't that he didn't want to advance into them, but rather that apart from Swift Master, the others looked utterly incomprehensible at a glance, such as Blood Mage or Dimension Walker.

Several people glanced at Su Tianji's screen: "Witch?! What on earth is this?"

"Uh..." Su Tianji said, "I don't quite understand either, it seems to be something like... Pandemonium technology? It looks like it might be very powerful?"

Dungeon and Fighter was a world where magic and technology blended perfectly; they possessed an extremely sophisticated magical technology system that was completely different from conventional technological systems.

A fusion of magic and technology.

The things they developed were somewhat akin to the communication jade pieces crafted by the cultivators of the Wuwei Daoist Alliance through various spells and formations—entirely different from a mobile phone, yet possessing all of its various functions.

The background of this world was almost entirely different from previous games; due to certain reasons (related to the origin of Pandemonium), Pandemonium possessed extremely powerful technology, and Witches were mages who primarily specialized in this path.

(In fact, the Empyrean similarly possessed a powerful level of technology, and various advancements after the Gunner were related to Empyrean technology, though that will not be mentioned for now.)

Since she couldn't wrap her head around it anyway and didn't much feel like fighting, she might as well play something rather unique.

So she chose this one.

"Should we go to a dungeon again? I want to try my new skills!"

"Just right, I'll try mine too!" At this moment, at the street corner where several people gathered in the game, a figure suddenly walked over, holding a long sword that resembled a bamboo stick, poking left and poking right, making his way forward with great difficulty.

"Aiya!" Suddenly, a miserable cry rang out; on the streets of Hendon Myre within the game, Zong Wu tripped flat on his face right on the spot, nearly eating dirt, drawing the sidelong glances of numerous passersby and players.

"..."

"...I say, Old Ghost Zong, what is wrong with you?!" Nalan Hongwu asked, his face twitching.

Lifting his head, one could see a black bandage wrapped around his eyes.

"...How is this class a blind man!" Zong Wu wailed. "What kind of son-of-a-bitch instructor asks me if I've truly made up my mind to advance, so that's what he meant?! Before I could even react, that venerable old man struck this master blind! He even said something about listening with the ears and slashing with the heart—how the mother of hell am I supposed to slash when I can't even see?!"

Climbing up from the ground with a dark expression: "Let's go, time to level up!"

Everyone: "..."

Suddenly, none of them wanted to party with this kind of person anymore!
