Poor good boy

"Where did you get this kind of gun? I want to play too!"

Suddenly, amidst the mocking audience, voices of envy could be heard.

"..."

With this statement, the crowd fell into a brief silence.

"Darn, I want to play too!"

"Why not let the NPCs know that the times have changed!"

Soon, more similar voices emerged.

Who wouldn't want to play with automatic rifles? The problem is, there's no way to obtain them!

In a world of swords and magic, the mass production of firearms and ammunition is simply absurd.

Currently, the NPC weapon called Wrath of the Earth · Angus is in its second phase as an automatic rifle. There's a high probability that it's just a prank by the developers, possibly intended to add some entertainment value to player duels. It's highly unlikely to become widespread, as it would inevitably disrupt game balance.

"Big brother, take me as your disciple!" A sly-looking thief player stealthily sneaked past the audience seats into the martial arts rest area, found Jiang Han, and hastily pleaded.

In his eyes, if you want to play with guns, ordinary professions probably won't cut it. Only by inheriting Angus's legacy can you achieve that.

Taking in disciples?

Thinking too much!

Just as Jiang Han was about to refuse, an unexpected system prompt rang in his ears—

"Ding!~"

System prompt: Please note that if you take on a disciple, they will inherit your exclusive hidden profession, causing a significant change in their growth potential!

"Ding!~"

System prompt: Due to your profession being a unique and exclusive hidden profession, it cannot be inherited. If you take on a disciple, the system will automatically assign them a substitute lower-tier profession, named by the system, with skills closely related to the Endless Angel!

"Ding!~"

System prompt: According to the system's judgment, the profession you bestow will be an extremely rare unique hidden profession. If the inheriting disciple wants to obtain this profession, they must complete related class transfer tasks!

...

"..."

Jiang Han was speechless, truly opening his eyes to a new world.

He felt like he was being treated like an NPC, able to pass on unique hidden professions to other players!

"Sorry, I currently have no intention of taking on disciples." Jiang Han shook his head, rejecting the thief's request.

At the moment, he had no plans to take on disciples at all.

There will inevitably be bonds between master and disciple, and he won't act recklessly, causing trouble for himself.

"Fine."

The disappointed thief left.

In addition to these two pieces of equipment, there was a Flame Armguard with good attributes. Unfortunately, Jiang Han already had the Dark Armor with the potential to grow, so he ignored it.

The rest of the miscellaneous items, having no use for them, were handed over to Wang Kai to be sold in the store.

"He must be taught a lesson!"

"The problem is, even Yang Yun couldn't handle him. Among us, who can kill him?"

"Angus looks sturdy, and I thought he should excel in strength and defense. I never expected speed to be his most proficient skill. It's truly surprising!"

...

Meanwhile, on the native side, many participants were extremely dissatisfied with Jiang Han's behavior, but they couldn't do anything about it.

Savvy individuals could see that Angus, who could toy with Yang Yun and kill him, probably had unbeatable strength at the Celestial level. And since all the martial arts participants were under thirty, there were no King-level powerhouses among them.

"Ding!~"

System prompt: The ninth battle is about to begin. Please select your betting target within two minutes!

Despite the strong discontent with the martial arts event, the rules were set, and there was no way to resist. As time passed, the event continued in an orderly fashion.

After a brief cooldown of emotions, players once again entered a new wave of excitement.

"This guy does things without any scruples!"

Ralph, who was observing the battle in the audience seats, broke into a cold sweat.

He originally thought that impersonating a native in the martial arts competition was already extremely risky, and one needed to be extremely careful in handling things. However, Jiang Han continued to act in his own way, completely disregarding the opinions of others.

"Ding!~"

System prompt: The tenth battle is about to begin. Please select your betting target within two minutes!

"Ding!~"

System prompt: The eleventh battle is about to begin. Please select your betting target within two minutes!

...

The martial arts competition continued, with time rushing forward. Winners and losers were determined, and defeated participants left the stage, resulting in fewer and fewer participants. Until the fifteenth round began, the system prompted that it was Jiang Han's turn to go on stage.

"Young man, just passed the age of vulnerability!"

Just as Jiang Han was preparing to go to the bottom of the stage to wait, an old man passing by warned him.

Jiang Han turned around and saw an elderly man with white hair. He was dressed in a yellow robe, with a hunched figure, sitting cross-legged below the stage. Surprisingly, he was one of the judges—

[Martial Arts Referee · Huang Shi'an](Ordinary NPC)

"..."

Jiang Han didn't know the origin of the martial arts referee, but he had a premonition that this old man was not an ordinary person.

With a slight movement in his heart, he decided to do something to win back the goodwill of the other party and take advantage of it.

At this point, he must use that move!

Forbidden · Peerless Acting!

"Young man understands naturally."

Jiang Han didn't speak disrespectfully but respectfully clasped his fists, showing a bitter smile: "In two days, the young man may face great danger. Before that, accumulating a bit of strength is ultimately beneficial."

"Oh?"

A hint of surprise flashed in Huang Shi'an's eyes.

Originally, he was very dissatisfied with Angus's behavior. However, due to the rules, he couldn't intervene. But he didn't expect that at this point, the other party would come up with such an unexpected statement.

"Elder, if you were in a situation where your own life was in danger, would you still care about the life and death of others?" Jiang Han spoke confidently, "If someone else's death could increase your chances of survival, would you hesitate to take action?"

Huang Shi'an: "..."

Jiang Han's words left him speechless.

Indeed, he could say "yes" to this hypocritical answer, but that would be unreasonable.

People are selfish. If he were in Jiang Han's situation, he would probably make the same choice. After all, these guys participating in the martial arts competition weren't playing games; they should be mentally prepared to face death.

"Are you really facing a dire situation?" Huang Shi'an doubted.

He wasn't someone who would believe everything others said.

This person also had the suspicion of lying.

"Young man swears to the heavens. In the next few days, the encounters I face may endanger my life!" Jiang Han solemnly raised his finger and said word by word, "If there is half a false word, may I be struck by thunder and lightning!"

Upon hearing this, Huang Shi'an couldn't help but be moved. "It seems I misunderstood you!"

Without any hesitation, he solemnly pledged to the

 god of oaths. Jiang Han's remarks made him have to believe it.

He originally thought Angus was a person with a strong killing intent and an evil aura. Unexpectedly, he was carrying such a heavy burden.

Alas!

There was no need for any doubt; this was a pitiful good kid!
