Chapter 154: Aspiring Mountain King

(Chapter dedicated to Chibi_Wolf38 for the Magic Castle. (´▽`ʃ♡ƪ) I owe her a lot of chappies. I will make it up next month.)

Several hours ago...

Little Baozi, who doesn’t have a social media life, aka Global Chat life, was unaware that the previous powerhouses mentioned in the novel had already reached level 5, hours before the opening of the Secret Realm.

(A/N: Same with author XD.)

Same with the dark crow mouth, the de-buffer, and currently having changed jobs to be scarecrows, these so-called powerhouses reign supreme on par with Xun Mingsheng and his Black Corps, and each also had a prosperous territory of their own with hundreds to thousands of subordinates under them, be they powerful players or natives. They were at the top of every ranking category.

Reaching level 5 was now everyone’s goal, apart from someone who only wanted to be surrounded by food.

Hours ago, Li Jingnan, one of these powerhouses and the future general of the protagonist’s army, Undying Bloodsucking Lich, infamous for his lifesteal skill, was staring at the option menu box with a label of [Class Pool].

His subordinates were behind him, excited for this moment. Their levels were in the early stages and mid-stages of level 4, and if not for the abnormal weather, they would have reached level 5.

After all, this can only happen in movies and books. For humans to wield supernatural powers, it was basically impossible.

Congratulations! You’ve reached Level 5! ]

[The class pool is unlocked.]

[Players can choose which path to take.]

[Beginner Classes:

>Warrior

>Knight

>Berserker

>Martial Artist

>Assassin

>Archer

>Priest

>Mage

>Summoner ]

"Beginner Classes? So there is an intermediate class and an advanced class? To think of it, the system said there is a class grade divided from E to SSS. If this is the starting point, I wonder how powerful those SSS are." Si rubbed his chin and couldn’t help but ask.

Li Jingnan and the rest pondered over his statement, and lots of scenarios formed in their minds of players causally waving their hands and casting storms, torrents of thunder, tsunamis, meteors, and summoning giants.

"The question you should be asking is how we get those high-tier classes." One of the men chimed in.

Si nodded, agreeing with his comrade.

It was a lie to say that they didn’t have Chunnibyou thoughts. In their childhood phase, they also dreamed of becoming an ultraman or a spiked-haired saiyan, and this was intensified by the system’s scamming and bootlicking skills that once made someone fall into debt.

"If I’m not wrong, there are pre-requirements or conditions before we can get them. Nevertheless, we must make use of what’s in front of us."

The men squeezed and looked at the screen over their leader’s shoulders.

Li Jingnan tapped on the descriptions of every class, and the men behind him were very noisy, squealing like little girls, trying to persuade their leader to pick this or that, but it was Ling Jingnan who had been eyeing a particular class since the beginning.

"I will choose this class," he uttered with firmness.

[Archer]

[Archer is a class renowned for their mastery of long-range attacks and versatility with various weapons, and they excel at dealing damage from a safe distance. The archer class has great mobility and is susceptible to changes on the battlefield.]

[Did you ever once dream of standing above the clouds and unleashing millions of arrows all at once with just a snap of your fingers and destroying everything in its wake? Archer class can make it happen for you and so much more! ]

Li Jingnan gulped. Is this system for advertising?

But this made his blood boil. Cough...

[You have chosen the archer class.]

Li Jingnan opened his personal status screen and saw the changes.

[Class: Archer]

[Unallocated Status Points: 40]

[Archer Class had four initial skills: Eagle’s Eye (P), Arrow Crafting (P), Take Aim (P), and Quick Shot (A)]

[The player can unlock a skill per every five levels.]

"These are good skills, Leader. I really want to be at level 5. I hope the weather becomes good tomorrow." Si voiced his thoughts with envy.

"It is." Li Jingnan agreed.

[The class pool skill is now unlocked.]

[The player can either draw two skills, have the chance to acquire high-tier skills, or choose among those from the available low-tier skills.]

The low-tier skills weren’t that useless. They were actually very helpful, but if one had bad luck, one may draw a trashy skill like barbeque and flaming grill...

Si and the others looked at each other, conflicted, and so did Li Jingnan. He had an urge to draw.

"Those are bad luck; leave the room and wash your hands. Those who have luck greater than 10 will stay and rub the leader’s face. Let’s help the leader achieve his dream," Si suggested, but when they saw their leader show his [Luck: 24], they all ran outside.

But not before saying some cheers of encouragement.

Li Jingnan, now alone, cracked his knuckles before clicking yes.

A golden Russian roulette appeared in front of him. Li Jingan could see all kinds of skills written in different colors. Thunder shot, piercing arrow, winged flight, and so many more.

His breath hitched as his eyes caught the ones glowing in golden font.

[Sun Destroyer (SSS-Level)]

[Chaos Reaper (SSS-Level)]

[Life...]

[Congratulations...]

----

A minute later, Li Jingnan came out of the residence, his heart still beating fast in his chest. His comrades surrounded him and asked him what he drew.

Li Jingnan showed them the two skills.

[Swift Feet (D-level)]

-Enhanced speed to 130% for ten seconds. CD: 10 minutes. Mana: 25]

[Life Drain (S-level) (P)

-30%–40% of the pure damage dealt to unfriendly units will be converted to HP points.]

The skill in the novel still found its way to the owner. However, no one knows the future whether he will be a friend or a foe.

What the heck!

Si and the others hugged Li Jingnan tightly.

"Leader, don’t forget us when you’re famous."

Li Jingnan gently pushed them away. "It’s too early to be this excited. Let’s prepare for the secret realm first."

Si and the others flattered him for a few more rounds before the team went back inside the hut.

At the same time, in several newbie mountains, the powerhouses were slowly assessing their class and new skills.

And one of them was located on Newbie Mountain No. 27, where the founder of Sun Blazing Fist’s Territory, Xun Mingsheng, had clashed with the early stage and was defeated, with the latter gone. Nothing can disrupt this guy’s development.

Oh, wait, there is one, but only if she’s motivated.

[Player: Sun Qinghe

Class: Berserker]

[Indomitable Spirit (S-level)]

-For every 1% HP lost, the strength and agility of the player will increase, and there is a 20% chance of a critical 220% strike.]

"Now, with this, it won’t be a problem ruling this mountain!" Sun Qinghe laughed boisterously, having beautiful aspirations of being the mountain king.

"Yes, Boss! "His men laughed along with his ’beautiful’ aspirations.

(A/N: I know some of you must be wondering why I gave such a skill to him, but there’s a purpose. Ji ji ji XD)
