Chapter 56: Professional Class Items
It is not just that.
The Fate Rune can assist players by pointing out the Pollution Zone most compatible with their soul; after triggering Fate Fragments, there is a high probability of dropping equipment, items, and skills that suit the player.
Fang Yi rubbed his brow and said, "Take Terumi Mei, for example; the abilities compatible with her are all related to heat, so I will proactively suggest she change her class to Explosive Flame Mage."
Having thoroughly read the original work, he naturally knew Terumi Mei possessed Lava Release and Boil Release Kekkei Genkai, so he would choose to recommend a class that suited her.
If it were not for this,
upon detecting that Terumi Mei's identity was the Wudai Mizukage, he would likely have made a crude judgment and guided her to purchase water-type abilities and classes.
However, players who are known so thoroughly are, in the end, a minority.
For most players, Fang Yi can only detect the most basic information; for more details, he would have to consume Reward Points.
It wouldn't matter if he consumed Reward Points for Purple Potential players, but most are ordinary players with White or Green Potential; wasting a large amount of Reward Points to guide them would be a loss that outweighs the gain.
So, it is better to purchase Fate Runes and spread the aura of fate to all players directly.
A Fu asked worriedly: "The Pollution Zone that Orochimaru was teleported to has a Pollution Source with strength reaching the Third Tier; it is simply not a monster he can deal with."
"Are you talking about the Gobulin Chaoxue King?"
Fang Yi said indifferently: "A Fu, have you still not grasped the situation? I went to great lengths to create the Fate Rune and teleport players to Polluted Areas compatible with them, never intending for them to clear the Pollution Source."
"You have to eat a meal one bite at a time; the Polluted Areas of two Novice Villages are enough for the players to gnaw on for a while."
"My goal is to fleece the sheep!"
"Low-level players won't be teleported to the center of a Pollution Zone at all; just like the Gobulin Chaoxue where Orochimaru is, it is merely a small outpost on the outskirts of the Gobulin Kingdom, and he won't be able to make contact with the Gobulin King."
Seeing A Fu's still puzzled expression,
Fang Yi did not blame her and continued to explain: "Even the border regions of high-tier Polluted Areas contain items of very high value; deep inside this Gobulin Chaoxue, there seems to be a class item that perfectly matches Orochimaru."
"If I were to create it, it would require two thousand Reward Points; even if I collected returns via a mission mode, I would still suffer a loss."
General class items, such as those for common classes like Pugilist or Stalker, only require 500 Reward Points to create.
Collecting returns via mission mode would allow for a net profit of double the Reward Points.
But to allow players to possess compatible classes—especially since the classes compatible with players with high Soul Potential are relatively strong—Fang Yi needs to expend even more Reward Points.
"So, I might as well charge an admission fee and let them go to the high-tier Polluted Areas they are compatible with to find the class items themselves."
A Fu raised a key question: "But what if the players fail and don't find the class items?"
"That has nothing to do with me!"
Fang Yi scratched his head and spread his hands: "I provide them with the opportunity; the meat is already delivered to their mouths. If they don't eat it, they can only blame themselves for being too weak or having bad luck. How can they blame me?"
"Of course, I am definitely not the kind of heartless person who doesn't care; after failing a challenge for the first time, they can continue to challenge it. Each Invitation Letter has five resurrection chances, though resurrection is a paid service."
This works too?
A Fu's mind was completely dazed; it took her a long time to sort it out. This was wanting the players to pay out of their own pockets to hunt Pollution Monsters for him, just like something her master had said before.
A donkey gets tired and buys its own coffee to stay alert?
A Fu narrowed her eyes. Sending out the Game Invitation seemed like her master was caring for the players, but in reality, it was digging a huge pit for them, letting them jump in willingly.
The corrupted Gobulin, covered in pitch-black smoke, roared as it charged toward Orochimaru.
Bang.
Orochimaru swung a wooden club, striking the head of the corrupted Gobulin.
This monster, whose physique was the same as a student who had not yet developed at the Ninja Academy, had surprisingly great strength, even able to lift a wooden Wolf Tooth Club nearly its own weight.
After being killed, the corrupted Gobulin rotted into a pile of minced meat, inside which was mixed a cluster of white light.
【Corrupted Gobulin Hand Bone】
A piece of information flooded into his mind; this was a high-quality material used to craft some equipment, and it could also serve as a spellcasting material for some evil rituals.
Orochimaru picked up the bloody hand bone and stuffed it into his inventory slot,
which contained, besides the hand bone, a series of materials such as leg bones, Gobulin blood, and so on.
【Your level has increased to 【3】, rewarding 2 free attribute points】
Orochimaru added the upgrade attributes to Strength and Agility.
His physical strength had always been very weak; the reason he was hard to kill was because of various snake-type Ninjutsu that allowed him to shed his skin, so he had absolutely no habit of adding points to Constitution.
It wasn't until he arrived at the third room indicated by the map that a strange Gobulin with pitch-black skin appeared; its physique was the size of a normal adult male, and it held an iron Wolf Tooth Club in its hand, with terrifying fangs, looking very ferocious and horrific.
"Interesting, it actually possesses life even after being stitched together?"
Orochimaru narrowed his eyes, observing very carefully.
This black Gobulin was spliced together from several ordinary Gobulins, equivalent to a stitched monster.
Could it be that there is someone in the Gobulin Chaoxue who studies human anatomy?
This made him feel curious.
This black Gobulin took Orochimaru quite some effort; he only managed to kill it after wasting one resurrection chance.
At the same time, his level also increased to 4.
In the final room,
Orochimaru finally saw the final boss of the trial: a hunched Gobulin wearing a gray robe, holding a broken wooden club in its hand.
But that wooden club did not look like a physical weapon.
It radiated waves of an aura that made one feel chilled to the bone.
"To think you could kill my undead; then use your body to compensate me!"
The Gobulin swung its staff, and the ground churned; the flesh and blood of the Gobulins Orochimaru had killed earlier all gathered together, fusing onto the Gobulin's body.
The originally hunched Gobulin was buried by the flesh and blood, eventually turning into a three-meter-tall Gobulin Giant.
Gray-black stiffened skin, Sharp bone claws—a living Gobulin zombie.
"Are you kidding me?"
Orochimaru was still clutching that refined iron Wolf Tooth Club in his hand; after getting closer, the spikes of the Wolf Tooth Club could only scrape a layer of skin off the Goblin Zombie.
Boom.
Taking advantage of the brief two seconds of invincibility after respawning,
Orochimaru stood panting on top of the limp, fallen Goblin Zombie, and thrust the Wolf Tooth Club fiercely into its chest.
【Trial Ended】
A burst of Purple light emerged from within the Goblin Zombie's chest.
It was a mottled black stone slab, eroded by time and covered in densely written characters.
"This is..."
Orochimaru curiously poked his head out.
Previously, everything had been white materials; the sudden appearance of Purple light meant that an item of Purple Quality had appeared, which perked him up.
【Necromancer's Stone Slab】
Type: Class Item
Effect: After use, one can take the class of 【Necromancer】.
Note: A filthy profession that toys with the flesh and souls of the dead; once it appears, it will be hunted by the Church Organization.
