Chapter 15: Appointment for Class Change

Xiao Feng turned off the chat and began picking up the boss's drops.

As the final boss, the Lord of Samaka dropped items far more luxurious than those of the second boss.

Not only did two Epic Equipment pieces drop, but also an orange-glowing Legendary item.

【Abyssal Monster Essence】: Essence of abyssal creatures; carrying it allows entry and exit from the Shen Yuan Shijie without being repelled by abyssal power (it becomes ineffective if stored in the backpack). Permanent effect.

The item description seemed rather ordinary, with no standout features—just a special item.

However, being of Legendary quality, its value is certainly not low.

Moreover, behind the boss room there is a portal, possibly leading to the Shen Yuan Shijie, which could be put to good use.

Besides these, two blue skill books also dropped.

【Sword Shock Ten Thousand Armies】: A rare skill for a second‑class warrior, increasing all allies' attack by 5% and decreasing all enemies' defense by 5%, range 50 meters, duration 30 seconds, cooldown 300 seconds; this state cannot be stacked or dispelled.

【Demonic Corrosion】: A rare skill for a second‑class mage, applying a status to a single target that causes it to lose 1% attack per second, lasting 15 seconds, cooldown 15 seconds; this state cannot be dispelled (the effect can be dispelled).

One is a powerful team skill, the other a single‑target debuff.

Upon reading the description of Demonic Corrosion, Xiao Feng couldn't help but feel curious.

"If I used this skill and its effect were amplified Ten Thousand Times, wouldn't it turn whoever I target into trash?"

A normal user, after stacking to the 15th second, would only reduce attack by 15%, then need to reapply the debuff and start stacking again.

But for him, a 1% per second attack reduction becomes a 10,000% per second reduction, instantly dropping attack into negative numbers and lasting a full 15 seconds!

Even if the effect is dispelled, the status remains, and the next second it turns negative again.

"Too bad it requires a second‑class advancement to learn, sigh..."

He hasn't even completed his first class advancement yet; wanting a second seems hopelessly far off.

The remaining drops were fairly ordinary—low‑quality gear and potions, the equipment all level 75, basically useless.

After clearing the battlefield, Xiao Feng turned his attention to Luo Fu Luo.

This NPC was supposed to be killed by the plot, but he was saved by Xiao Feng's swift boss slaying.

Luo Fu Luo's health bar is still at half, with no immediate danger to his life.

"Luo Fu Luo, you're safe now; you can go home and marry." Xiao Feng smiled.

"Yes, thank you so much, Warrior Xiao Feng!" Luo Fu Luo beamed with joy, the feeling of having survived a disaster making him deeply grateful to Xiao Feng.

"Don't just thank me—do you have any concrete way to repay me?" Xiao Feng grinned, revealing his true intentions.

"Um..."

Luo Fu Luo scratched his head, a little embarrassed, and replied: "I… aside from money, I have nothing else to repay you with. And the money is little, just enough for living expenses after I go home..."

"I don't lack money. You seem like a mage; can you help me change class?" Xiao Feng stated his real purpose.

He didn't care about rewards; now he has equipment and gold, the only thing missing is class change and skills.

Upon hearing this, Luo Fu Luo exclaimed in surprise: "Class change? You're already this strong—class change would be third class; how could I possibly help?"

In his view, anyone who can clear this dungeon must be at least level 50 with second class or higher, so the next class change would definitely be at level 100.

But Xiao Feng is an exception.

He spread his hands and said: "Look at me—I'm still just a mage apprentice, not even a full mage yet."

NPCs have the ability to view a player's basic information.

Luo Fu Luo glanced over, saw that he was indeed a mage apprentice, and instantly felt incredulous.

"Ah… this… is too absurd, right?"

He blinked and asked: "Then how did you defeat the Abyssal Lord?"

"Well… never mind that, just tell me if you can help me change class." Xiao Feng knew this NPC had the "gabby" trait, so he didn't want to chat and went straight to the point.

Luo Fu Luo felt a bit embarrassed, unsurely replying: "I… I'll try. My teacher is a quite powerful mage, but because my family is poor I couldn't afford the cost of magical study, so I gave up being a mage and became a miner. He resents this, always disliking me. I'll go talk to him and see if he can help you."

"That would be great, thank you!" Xiao Feng smiled with relief, his mood bright.

"By the way, your teacher… he shouldn't be a clerk in the temple, right?" After thinking, he grew a bit worried and asked.

Luo Fu Luo shook his head: "My teacher isn't that strong yet; the temple clerks are all Legendary Grand Magi of level 150 or above, while my teacher is only level 130."

"Not being one is good." Xiao Feng breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as it's not the temple or the War Hall, he can get in.

"I'll first leave the mine cave to prepare. Warrior Xiao Feng, after you're done, come find me at the general store in Silver Ore Town." Luo Fu Luo agreed on a meeting spot, then turned and ran off quickly.

Xiao Feng watched him leave, the corners of his mouth turning up: "At last I have a direction for class change. This gabby guy wasn't saved in vain."

He felt a few more sentiments well up.

This game, compared to the old online games on Blue Star, still has many more things.

Although NPCs overall aren't very smart, there exist many many "changes."

After Luo Fu Luo is rescued, he can guide the way; after guiding, he may encounter danger; after danger, whether to save or not also leads to different outcomes.

More importantly, as a low‑level NPC, he also possesses many possibilities; if we treat them as real people and interact, we can uncover many useful things.

After this incident, Xiao Feng's attitude toward this game world began to shift.

Perhaps it's not just a game.

After all, alien technology—its login method is already absurd; using a growable AI system to create NPCs is also possible.

If we study hard, maybe we can still produce many many astonishing discoveries!

Thinking of this, Xiao Feng couldn't help but recall another matter.

The curse of Otto Gu...

"Even an ordinary person like Luo Fu Luo is this vivid; then… Otto Gu and its former master, the War God, wouldn't they be even more extraordinary?"

"I killed Otto Gu, received the curse, seemingly, maybe… truly… I really dug a big pit!"

Originally Otto Gu was a level 50 Mythic boss placed in the novice village; it was never meant for players to fight.

Instead, it lets predestined people go meet it; through their own fate, they obtain the hidden profession inheritance of the War God.

Xiao Feng……

"Ah."

Thinking of this, he felt somewhat like wanting to cry but having no tears.

But things have come to this; regret is too late, so he can only slowly think of a way, seeing if he can wash away Otogu's curse.

Hum~

Just as Xiao Feng felt helpless, the boss room suddenly shook a bit.

Xiao Feng originally thought the boss room was going to be recycled, and the system wanted to kick him out.

But when he looked up, that wasn't the case.

Instead, the teleportation portal in the distance was slowly shrinking, about to close!
