Chapter 107: Trial
While Mo Se was eating, Zane was not idle.
“Wake up! Wake up!” She gently tapped the forehead of the goblin.
“Am I… dead?” Kainel said weakly.
“You’re not dead! We took care of the Diamond Lizard!” The blonde girl in front looked quite proud of herself.
It took Kainel half a minute to process this, incredulously saying, “What???”
…
After picking up the dropped items, looking at the half-red names in the team, Endless Sea said, “We can’t stay here.”
Yuhua’s people had already noticed them. Although that guild was almost a mob, they were still numerous!
If they decided to give up leveling to harass, there wasn’t much they could do.
Moreover, the number of players in Shattered Rock Ridge was approaching saturation, and if they continued leveling, they would probably clash with other players. The Spirit Gem was still very much in demand.
Cute Orange already had enough materials to level up to a level 4 Alchemist, and there was no need to stubbornly stay at that place.
Suddenly, the world channel rang out.
World Announcement: Congratulations to Player Wencheng Princess for passing the ‘Holy Healer’ trial with an S rank evaluation, successfully obtaining the hidden profession ‘Holy Healer’!

A pure white beam of light descended upon Shattered Rock Ridge, revealing Wencheng’s figure.
Although her equipment looked the same as before, there was now an indescribable sacred aura about her.
This world announcement made players explode with excitement—another hidden profession? And it’s a healing-oriented one?
For a time, Wencheng’s friend request notifications were incessant. She quickly muted the sounds, but the looks from the surrounding players were off!
“Big shot, come join our team! We have all the output and tank, just missing a big healer!”
“Beautiful, don’t listen to them, they only have a level 19 Mage, an 18 Swordsman, and a 17 Knight! How shameless! If you’re coming, come to our side, our captain is a level 20 Mage, with Fire Sea—guaranteed to level up like a rocket!”
More and more people gathered around. Wencheng was rejecting one after another, but the team requests kept popping up without a hint of stopping.
“Excuse me, excuse me!” Endless Sea and Zimei walked in front, the two high-strength professions clearing the way, and forcibly squeezed in.
“Zimei!” Wencheng was overjoyed to see her teammate and gave her a warm hug.
“So you’re a lesbian, sigh…”
“Isn’t that more thrilling?”
“Don’t go, beauty! How about considering joining our team?”
“These guys seem to be the ones from the leaderboard! They suddenly made it to the rankings this morning!”
“Oh… seriously! I heard they are following Starry and Fengchen Yanhua!”
“Let’s take a photo to commemorate!”
…
After a commotion, they finally managed to get outside.
“So many guild leaders are messaging me… asking if I want to join their guild,” Wencheng sighed.
Healing-oriented hidden professions were really in high demand. After all, the priests trained by each guild were limited, and auxiliary professions, who would ever have too many? Moreover, hidden professions are definitely much stronger than regular priests.
“Do you want to go?” Zimei asked.
“I don’t want to.” Wencheng replied decisively.
Originally, she and Jiangxia just came to experience the game, and chose the simple priest class, healing only, without having to fight monsters.
Like now, just exploring and grinding with everyone every day was already very satisfying, there was no need to join a guild.
“Then just mute them directly.” Zimei said indifferently.
“But… I’m worried they might cause us trouble.”
“They won’t. As long as you haven’t joined a guild, you’ll forever be a target for them, they can’t touch you.” Endless Sea was very clear.
“Alright then,” Wencheng nodded and then deleted all records at once, blocking private chats from anyone except friends.
“Darling, come into my arms!” Jiangxia closed his eyes, arms open wide.
Wencheng directly passed by him, “By the way, the S rank evaluation also gave me an extra skill, Feast of Light.”
“Let me show you my class panel.”
Holy Healer: A person with a heart full of holy light.
Strength: ★
Agility: ★☆
Intelligence: ★★★☆
Spirit: ★★☆
Stamina: ★★★★
Holy Healing Light: Releases a gentle healing light, allowing the target to instantly recover 750 + Magic Attack *2 health. Cooldown time: 5 seconds.
Healing Chain: Throws out a healing chain of light, which bounces among allies, bouncing a maximum of 7 times. The healing amount for the first target is 500 + Magic Attack *1.5, then each subsequent target decreases by 20%, with a minimum of 40%, cooldown time: 10 seconds.
Feast of Light: Summons a massive beam of light, healing allies within a range of 10*10 for 300 + Magic Attack *1.5 every second, and dealing 300 + Magic Attack *1.5 damage to enemies. Cannot move during the casting period, lasts 30 seconds, cooldown time: 1 hour.
“…” This was the first time everyone saw the star rating growth of a hidden profession; Zane had never shown them before.
“Oh my!” Nangong couldn’t help but curse, this Holy Healer was simply a moving health bank!
With such a high healing amount, who wouldn’t be able to heal?
Unless being instantly killed, otherwise, wouldn’t they be full health in an instant!
And this Feast of Light was even more terrifying, an area-of-effect weapon! Group healing and group damage! Unfortunately, it wasn’t an instant skill; being controlled would make it ineffective, which is also a form of limitation.
In any case, a team with a Holy Healer would probably be able to challenge various dungeon maps at a higher level!
“No way… how did you pass the trial? Hidden professions are this easy to obtain?” Jiangxia exclaimed in surprise.
“Well… once the trial proof was activated, I was teleported to a small village…”
The village was plagued by a terrible epidemic.
Wencheng looked at the NPCs dying one by one and felt very heartbroken.
The short time spent with them made her feel as if they were living humans.
An old man conveyed a message before dying—only the legendary Holy Healer could cure this plague, or… use the legendary forbidden technique.
But that’s impossible, because without passing the trial, she couldn’t obtain the Holy Healer profession to heal them.
And without being able to heal, she couldn’t pass the trial.
So how to pass the trial?
To obtain the Holy Healer profession.
Healing spells, gradual healing, and purification only served to buy time.
Even she herself had become infected with the plague, and her mobility decreased as time passed.
Even speaking became a luxury; it truly felt like just a game… but it was too real.
Looking for the so-called forbidden technique? There were no clues or hints… and her body could no longer hold out. This plague was definitely the most terrifying debuff she had ever encountered.
Wondering what would happen if she died here?
Would the trial fail?
Starry… I’m sorry.
In the midst of her muddled thoughts, she suddenly realized, if she fell like this, wouldn’t that mean everyone in the village would have no hope?
Grinding her teeth, she sat up again, staring blankly at the wall beside her bed.
Messy marks.
This wall… why are there children’s scribbles?
Unknowingly, she browsed through the content on the wall.
This was not graffiti.
But rather… the legendary forbidden technique.
Sacrifice.
By performing the ritual according to the strange magic circle depicted on the wall, sacrificing and burning her own life, she could enhance all her abilities, and then, her healing spells would be effective.
The cost would be a permanent reduction of 200 in all attributes and dropping to level 1.
She hesitated.
Should she waste her account because of this inexplicable storyline?
“Hmph.” Wencheng couldn’t help but laugh and lay down in the magic circle.
…
“No way, you dare to do this kind of thing!” Jiangxia said, distressed.
“See, I’m perfectly fine!” Wencheng spun around, “All intact!”
In fact, she also had her own considerations. If she failed, she could just sell the gold coins, give the equipment to Jiangxia first, and then delete the account and start over, right? After all, leveling up early on was so fast.
Originally, this trial proof absolutely wasn’t something that could be obtained in the first few days; it usually required passing the challenge of the first layer of the Tower of Forgetting in the mid to late game, and by then, the choices would not be so easy.
