CH : 28 Class Change, and Skills

Realizing the gravity of what he'd just heard, Ethan quickly stepped outside, his mind reeling with the implications of the ominous warning.

After coming out put his hand on his chest as his heart was beating so fast that Ethan felt like he would have a heart attack.

"Ethan Calm down, All will well,"

Ethan spoke as he quickly took some huge gusts of wind in his lungs and after five minutes of doing he was able to control his fears and another deep breath. Outside the bar, Ethan walked along the street, then went into the towering career center building.

"Welcome, I'm the receptionist Abigail! You have reached level 10, and have met the requirement for the first job change. May I ask what kind of job you want to change to?" Ethan had just entered the career center, when a woman who looked very beautiful in professional uniforms walked toward him with a smile and said.

Ethan looked at Abigail, and lightly said: "Please give me the list of jobs that I can change to."

"Okay!" Abigail smiled, pointed in the air, and a white light flashed. Afterwards, a three-dimensional projection appeared in Ethan's eyes.

The job list flashing in that three-dimensional projection made Ethan dizzy.

Doctor, soldier, Assassin, Priests, Healer, gunner, maintenance worker, blacksmith, lawyer, translator, warrior, mage, warlock, summoner, beast tamer, and hunter. All sorts of jobs in the real world and fantasy world were listed, an all encompassing list.

Ethan pointed at the doctor's job. The three-dimensional projection changed, and an introduction of the doctor profession quickly emerged.

{Doctor Description: Doctor is a job that a team should not lack. Priests or Healers can quickly cure a variety of injuries by magic. Doctors use conventional methods of healing, and recovery speed is not as fast as Priests or Healers. However, doctors are able to use drugs to treat viral diseases, develop a variety of new drugs, and to achieve the scope of injuries and diseases. After changing the job to doctor, it will obtain the skill: Common Medical Skill and Knowledge.}

Ethan pointed at the soldier job. The three-dimensional projection changed, and an introduction of the soldier profession quickly emerged.

{Soldier Description: Soldiers are basic combat professions. Close combat is not weak, but they are not good at close combat as warriors. However, they are well-versed in using firearms. After a successful job change, it will obtain the skill: General Firearms Control and Knowledge}

Ethan's eyes lit up. General Firearms Control and Knowledge is very good for him. He did not go through any training, so his marksmanship is extremely poor. With this skill, his strength would greatly improve.

He already had a skill that allowed him to be a summoner, yes it had a lot of restrictions but it is what it is so he wanted a job that makes him stronger.

Ethan did not rush to change job, and just flipped through the job's description.

Each job, after a successful job change will get a job skill. Allowing Ethan to go from an ordinary person to be a part of that field. Ethan skipped all the support jobs, and directly looked at the combat jobs.

Support jobs had many uses, such as maintenance workers can repair cars. Blacksmith job can create enchanted and create weapons. Doctors can cure diseases, and develop new drugs. Helpers could mass heal and cast magic that harms undead evil type creatures, same with priests. They play a great role on the team, but these job's skills can not compare to combat job's skills.

Ethan viewed many combat jobs, but felt that they were paled in comparison to the soldier's skills. Firearms control and knowledge allowed the Stinger Pistol to have greater destructive power. And compared to the magical world of warriors, warlocks, and mages, soldiers' professions are better able to survive in this real world.

The mage's casting speed is too slow. They haven't even finished casting before getting killed. As for close combat ability, warriors were definitely superior to soldiers. But a rocket launcher would take care of a warrior.

"Well this is!" Ethan after scrolling through many pages listing countless jobs with many special and Hidden Jobs, saw a job in dark light flashing. He pointed at it, and soon the job appeared from the hidden black light.

{Hidden Job: Dark Knight. A knight that controls the violent darkness power. Once the job change is successful, it will obtain the skills: Art of Fear, Dark Enhancement. And basic Proficiency and Knowledge of basic melee weapons upon welding}

Ethan had a look at the Dark Knight's job description, and decisively made a choice: "I choose to change jobs to Dark Knight."

It was an extremely important selection for Ethan. A black light surrounded his feet from a magical array. He soon disappeared from the place, and the next moment appeared in a temple full of magical atmosphere.

The dark light from the magical array under his feet started to flow up and into his body, condensing into two mysterious runes inside his sea of knowledge.

{Level 2 Skill: Art of Fear. Active skill, activating the skill, will make biological creatures lose 5 points of Spirit and put fear in their heart, shaking their will to fight. People with low Spirit are more susceptible. This skill can be used with a single target within a distance of 200 meters, but within 20 square meters, will affect all targets. Consumed 3 MP each time}

{Level 2 Skill: Dark Enhancement. Passive skills, after learning the skill, user will have night vision, and sees farther than the daytime. At night, your senses will be greatly enhanced, and more sensitive to premonition of danger.}

After the job change is completed, the dark power lingering besides Ethan also vanished.

Ethan had his head down while thinking about the application of the skills, and then marched toward the center of the temple.

At the center of the temple, was a man wearing a mysterious runes engraved, all black, exotic shiny body armor. The Dark Knight was standing there like a pole. He just stood still, giving off a feeling of suffocating oppression.

Ethan walked in front of the Dark Knight standing there and said: "I am new Dark Knight that just went through the job change, Sir, I want to buy the job's skills."

The cold Dark Knight looked at Ethan and pointed at the air. Another three-dimensional projection appeared and a list of Dark Knight skills appeared before Ethan's eyes.

There were a total of nine skills in the three-dimensional projection. Three level 1 skills, and six level 2 skills.

Ethan quietly browsed the nine skills, and thought: 'So expensive!'

Level 1 skills each cost 300 Survival Coin, while the level 2 skills each cost 1000 Survival Coins.

Ethan browsed the six level 2 skills, his eyes flashed with desire: "Summon Skeleton Beast, Beast Tamer, Shadow Step ... ..., all of these skills are great!"

Each of the six level 2 skills are extremely rare. Ethan could get another ability if he obtain it.

When Ethan saw the six level 2 skills, his eyes lit up. He quickly pointed at a skill, and paid 1000 Survival Coins.

The black projected skill turned into a black light and flew into Ethan's sea of knowledge, condensing into a black rune.

{Level 2 skill: Encompassing Body Armor. Able to summon an undying creature body. The undying creature appeared as an armor to protect the castor. Activating the skill cost 10 SP and 10 MP. Duration of 15 minutes.}

Ethan suddenly walked in front of the Dark Knight and asked: "Senior, may I ask if you have any advice for me? "

The Dark Knight quietly looked at Ethan, and coldly said: "Must be ruthless! Your heart is not ruthless, it will be very difficult to survive."

After saying those words, the Dark Knight closed his mouth. As if he was a statue, standing still in the temple's center, without a word.

Ethan was silent, and courteously thank the Dark Knight while facing him. Then went back to the magical array.

With a flashed of light, Ethan quickly disappeared from the temple.

The Dark Knight quietly stared at Ethan as he disappeared, a different light flashing in his eyes, not saying anything.

After leaving the temple, Ethan went directly to the equipment upgrade store.

In the equipment store was a bearded man holding a bottle. He was sitting there bare-chested, with traces of burnt mark on his body.

Seeing Ethan come in, that weapon upgrade master lightly said one sentence: "Come to upgrade weapons?"

Ethan nodded and asked: "How many Survival Coins do I need to upgrade 3rd Degree weapons?"

The weapon upgrade master lightly said: "500 Survival Coins and a magic gem."

After hearing this, Ethan was slightly relieved. Not counting the 1000 Survival Coins from the quest bonus, he had only $600 Survival Coins after purchasing the Encompassing Body Armor skill.

Ethan pulled out 500 Survival Coins, a magic gem, and the Stinger Pistol. Then handed them to the weapon upgrade master and said: "Please upgrade this."

"The Stinger Pistol, great item. Youngster, you have some skill and luck to get this kind of equipment nowadays." The weapon upgrade master looked at the Stinger Pistol, then pointed at the air. The Stinger Pistol flew in front of him and suspended in the air. He casually pointed at the air and an enchantment spell burst out of thin air.

The magic gem flew into that enchantment spell, blooming into a dazzling light.

In the next moment, the Stinger pistol also flew into the enchantment spell, and instantly disintegrated. A thin ray of light began to sculpt out the Stinger Pistol in that enchantment spell, reconstructing the Stinger Pistol once again. Eventually forming a silver handle, six rounds 20 mm caliber revolver.

{Note: A pistol is just a handgun, while a revolver is a type of pistol with cylindrical chamber for the rounds. So in this case it is now a 6 chamber revolver.]

The silver revolver immediately fell into Ethan's hand.

{4th Degree Weapon: Stinger Model 2. This version has a higher destructive force. The revolver will never break unless destroyed by external force. It automatically generates two rounds a day. If ammunition is sufficient, you can use it to shoot tanks. Of course the condition is that your shooting skill must be adequate.}

Ethan looked at the Stinger Model 2 in his hand, his eyes full of joy. After upgrading the Stinger to Model 2, not only is it more powerful, but it can also automatically generate two rounds per day. Which greatly increased the value of the Stinger revolver.

"Thank you very much!"

Ethan said his thanks to the weapon upgrade master and left.

After leaving the weapon upgrade store, Ethan turned and went into the equipments store.

Seeing Ethan enter, an attendant who looked quite pretty, smiled and said: "Welcome!"

Ethan toward the pretty attendant said: "I want to see the equipment list."

"Yes!"

The attendant pointed at the air, and a list of the various types of equipments appeared.

Ethan carefully viewed the equipment list. Contrary to his expectations, the equipment list was empty, meaning, there was not even a 1st Degree Protective Garment.

"Stinger 2 Special Bullet, Price: 50 Survival Coins per round."

At the bottom of the equipment list, Ethan saw equipment that he could use.

"So expensive!" Ethan looked at the Stinger bullet with a wry smile. The Stinger bullet was so expensive that he could not afford it.

Ethan turned to the next page, and immediately brightened up.

On the second page was a wide variety of medical drugs. One which allowed a person to regenerated limbs, another one which can quickly restored stamina, and another one that can cure various kinds of poisons. However, at the end of that last page was: {6th Degree Medicine: G Drug. Can treat viral infections that have infected the body. And will regenerate any lost limb upon injecting. Price: 50,000 Survival Coins each.}

Ethan looked at the G Drug enviously: "It's too expensive. I'm really poor."

If Ethan had enough money, he would buy the G Drug as a backup. After all, who knows what enemies he would encounter in the future.

After a few pages, Ethan found that besides the medicines, there were no powerful equipments on the list.

Ethan closed the list, and asked the attendant: "These are the only equipments?"

The attendant politely said: "Yes! Besides the medicines, you can only buy equipments from the system when others have sold it to the system. "

"Thank you!"

Ethan nodded, then turned around and left.

After leaving the equipment store, Ethan entered the mission building.

A very pretty attendant smiled and went up to Ethan, then pointed at the air. A huge mission list appeared in front of Ethan: Welcome to the 'Mission Hall' we are offshoot of 'Crossrealm Expeditions'. You are welcome to accept a variety of missions posted here without being a Relm Walker."

"Recapture the Fallen City of Beijing! In order to complete the mission, you must clear up all the zombies within the 5th ring. Time limit of 1 year, time starts when mission is accepted. After the recapture of Beijing City, the faction leader will receive a 5th Degree Protective Garment, 50,000 Survival Coins, +5 levels, +2 skill points, Beijing Conqueror title. No penalty if mission failed."

"Recapture the Fallen City of Tokyo... ..."

"Recapture the Fallen City of Manila ... ..."

Recapture the Fallen City of Alexandria... ..."

Recapture the Fallen City of Barcelona... ..."

Recapture the Fallen City of Atlanta... ..."

Recapture the Fallen City of Pune... ..."

The mission list was full of recapturing major and minor cities in the world.

Ethan looked at the mission, eyes filled with shock: "Beijing, Atlanta, and Tokyo had fallen? If that is so, then the Government chain of command is incapacitated in many of these cities? And with the power grid down most of the communication system is also down"

Like a dragon without a head, without the guidance of the Central Government, and Communication System, Ethan could not imagine what the local governments would be like in this post apocalyptic world. He could see that in the future, warlords will fiercely compete for power and fight over lands around the world.

Ethan looked at the huge mission list, as if a large rock was pressing down on him: "This is terrible!"

"Recapture the Fallen City of New Luminara! In order to complete the mission, you cleared up 100 Zombie Chiefs within the city. Time limit of 1 year, time starts when mission is accepted. After the recapture of New Luminara City, the faction leader will receive a 4th Degree Protective Garment, 10,000 Survival Coins, +3 levels, +1 skill points, New Luminara Conqueror title."
