Chapter 2: New Century (Epilogue)
After a while, Nobody Does Human Things emerged from the Illusion Prism.
His figure stood there, but his aura seemed somewhat weathered.
He had died over four thousand times…
He had finally killed that old man, Clemon.
At the same time, he had fully grasped all the skills on his person. He glanced at the time; only five minutes had passed…
What terrifying technology.
Has the Red Queen super-intelligence developed to this point?
Yet, why hasn’t similar thought-acceleration technology appeared in daily life? Even the country doesn’t seem to have made it public… In the past, any good technology invented in the Hua District would be immediately announced to all citizens.
Nobody Does Human Things couldn’t figure it out for a while. However, he was a carefree person, so he stopped thinking about it if he couldn’t understand. He was different now.
[Congratulations on completing your advancement assessment. Your level has been raised to 51 (Tier 6 Warrior).]
[Your profession is Warrior. Please choose your subsequent specialization.]
[Currently available specialization directions are:]
[Berserker Specialization, Hurricane Warrior Specialization, Holy Shield Warrior Specialization, Weapon Master Specialization]
[Please choose your specialization path.]
A cold glint flashed in Nobody Does Human Things’ eyes.
The officials were indeed good at hiding things.
They didn’t announce what the game updates were, specifically leaving surprises and suspense for players like them to discover.
What mischievous little rascals they are~
He wasn’t sure which to choose yet, so he carefully read the descriptions for each specialization.
[Specialization paths will refine your professional journey and grant you a random exclusive skill.]
[Berserker Specialization: Gain Rage ability. Rage accumulates when attacking and being attacked. When Rage reaches a certain stage, you can enter a Berserk state. In the Berserk state, all attacks will carry the Burning effect, increase attack range by five meters, and inflict burning damage and bleeding effects (Evaluation: Utterly Mad!!!)]
[Hurricane Warrior Specialization: Gain Wind Breath ability. Cultivating Wind Breath Technique can accumulate Wind Breath, which will increase your movement speed and attack speed. You can cast the exclusive attack: Gale Breath Sever (Evaluation: Heart Moves With the Wind, Charging Forward!)]
[Holy Shield Warrior Specialization: Comprehensive improvement in defense attributes. After becoming a Holy Shield Warrior, you can gradually stack body resistance by being attacked. Possess exclusive skill: Shield Taunt (Evaluation: Attack Me Instead!)]
[Weapon Master Specialization: You will be able to quickly master any weapon and proficiently use firearms. Your ranged weapon accuracy will reach 90%. Possess exclusive skill: Gun Kata (Evaluation: Iaido followed by a headshot, instantly dead!)]
To be honest, as an adult, Nobody Does Human Things wanted all of them, but unfortunately, he could only choose one.
He excluded the Shield Warrior and Berserker first.
It wasn’t because these two specializations weren’t strong enough.
It was because they weren’t elegant enough.
As for Weapon Master, after hesitating for a long time, he also excluded it. Quickly mastering weapons and increased shooting accuracy were very enticing, but he only used firearms, and his shots were all scattered. At close range, they were already 100% accurate.
Finally, he chose to become a Hurricane Warrior.
Because the Hurricane Warrior looked incredibly fun.
When playing games~
Fun was, of course, the most important thing.
[Do you confirm your specialization choice: Hurricane Warrior? Please note that after this confirmation, your profession specialization cannot be modified. If you wish to modify it, you will need to purchase a Specialization Modification Token from the King of Winter, priced at 50,000 Contribution Points.]
Nobody Does Human Things: “Confirm!”
[Congratulations on changing your profession to Hurricane Warrior. You have become happier.]
“Whoosh—”
The moment he changed professions.
Nobody Does Human Things first felt his body lighten. A wisp of breeze seemed to surround him, and a green bar appeared below his HP bar; this was his Wind Breath energy.
Nobody Does Human Things clenched his fists.
He was now faster with his blade!
This was one of the reasons Cain Continent was so captivating.
Because any enhancement you could feel tangibly on your own body; they weren’t like fake data or hypocritical combat power.
Instead, they were true strength!
Strength that you could actually use.
“Swish!”
Nobody Does Human Things instantly blinked out of the crowd, nearly surprising the onlookers.
“Holy crap! Boss Nobody Does Human Things is so fast!”
“Is this the improvement that came from advancing?”
“Wow! Boss Nobody Does Human Things’ name has turned golden!”
A golden name?
Nobody Does Human Things looked at his status panel.
Indeed.
The words “Nobody Does Human Things” were shining gold.
Heh, the officials were pulling these fancy tricks again.
Did they think this would win the hearts of players like them?
Was he, Nobody Does Human Things, such a vain person?
The corners of his mouth curved upwards; he could barely suppress it.
How could he laugh in front of so many players?
He had to maintain his aloof demeanor!
While strenuously controlling his excitement.
Nobody Does Human Things walked into the palace and saw the King of Winter sitting on his throne, propping his chin with one hand, his eyelids drooping, his legs crossed, and his crown tilted askew, looking completely bored.
He saw that another player was standing in front of the King of Winter.
It happened to be an acquaintance, (Player Name) (M).
He glanced at (Player Name) (M)’s profession.
It had astonishingly changed to Shadow Assassin…
He was clearly planning to go all the way as a sneaky rogue.
“Great Your Majesty Winter!” (Player Name) (M) said with exaggerated flattery, raising both hands wildly. “Your humble subject has finally returned with the Demon Eye Tree Fruit you requested, and at the same time, your humble subject would like to request to learn skills and receive a exquisite Nightglow Wolf mount~”
As he spoke, he took out the Demon Eye Tree Fruit from his player backpack.
Honestly, the fruit looked quite strange. It was apple-sized, with a crimson overall color. The front had a white of the eye and a pupil, and it even blinked, looking no different from a large eyeball. But in reality, it was a fruit that could be eaten directly.
Holding it, (Player Name) (M) felt a shiver.
Fortunately, soon, the King of Winter’s deputy, Gudbad, brought a tray and took away the Demon Eye Tree Fruit.
[King of Winter’s Favorability +40. Current Favorability: 30 (Quite Satisfied)]
Upon hearing the system notification.
(Player Name) (M) took a deep breath.
He was back!
Everything was back!
The days of having favorability were truly good.
He was no longer afraid of walking on the streets of Winter City and suddenly being caught in the path of a Venom Dragon that would poop on his head… It was truly moving.
“Moru, you did very well.”
Xi Wei perked up and gave (Player Name) (M) an appreciative look.
He had been giving mounts to players and teaching skills to some elite players all morning.
Each time, these players would chatter a lot of flattering words at him.
At first, Xi Wei enjoyed it; he felt good.
But after a long time, he realized that the players’ words were almost identical, as if they had copied from the same template.
His ears were almost calloused.
It was comparable to hypnosis.
