Chapter 3

Xiang Yang stood at the entrance of the classroom, took a deep breath, and firmly held the letter containing the secret that his mother had given him.

This was the ultimate quest in "The Other World." Although he didn't know what the quest content was, only a fool would turn it down!

"I accept the quest!" Xiang Yang took on the quest.

The system prompt sounded again—

"You have accepted the ultimate quest—The Return of the Gods. If you fail to complete the quest, your account will be forcibly deleted, and you will never be able to re-enter 'The Other World.'"

Xiang Yang was startled by the system prompt.

"Even failing the quest has a punishment... and such a severe one! If you can't complete the quest, your account will be deleted, and you'll never be able to re-enter 'The Other World'? Even for the ultimate quest, this is too overbearing!"

Xiang Yang grumbled to himself.

However, he didn't regret it. The heavier the punishment for failure, the richer the reward must be!

If failing the quest means you can never re-enter "The Other World," that means you'll be completely cut off from the game. So, what kind of reward would you get if you completed it?

Just then, another system voice sounded—

"Due to your acceptance of the ultimate quest—The Return of the Gods, you have obtained the unique ultimate skill—The Blessing of the Gods."

Skill?

He hadn't even entered the game, didn't have a skill bar, and hadn't even created a character, yet he had already obtained a skill?

Moreover, this skill seemed very powerful—The Blessing of the Gods, an ultimate skill, the most top-tier and rarest skill among all skills!

Xiang Yang looked around and found that everything around him was now empty. After the only rainbow energy disappeared, he retraced his steps, crossed the ten-meter staircase gap, and walked downstairs.

Now, he couldn't wait to create his character and enter the game. Only by creating a character would he have a skill bar, and he could use the ultimate skill, The Blessing of the Gods, that he had just obtained.

...

"Are you sure you want to create a character?"

"Yes."

"Please create a nickname."

"Xuan Yang."

"Sorry, this nickname is already in use. Please create a new nickname."

Xiang Yang was speechless and then thought of a nickname at random.

"Huangxuan Yang."

"The nickname can be used and has been bound. Please select a profession."

A floating page with profession introductions appeared in front of Xiang Yang. He had already seen the profession introductions yesterday and casually answered, "Taoist."

However, as soon as he spoke, Xiang Yang suddenly noticed that the profession introduction page seemed different from yesterday. It seemed... it seemed to have a few more professions!

But since he had chosen Taoist, the system page slowly disappeared.

The system confirmation voice sounded again—

"Are you sure you want to choose Taoist as your profession?"

"No!" Xiang Yang hurriedly answered. He was certain that the profession introduction page was definitely different from yesterday!

Sure enough, the system profession introduction page reappeared, and it indeed had a few more professions.

They were: Thief, Monk, Swordsman, and Daojun!

"Hidden professions, they are actually hidden professions!" Xiang Yang's eyes were filled with uncontrollable excitement, and his body trembled slightly with excitement.

"It seems that by accepting that ultimate quest, I can even choose hidden professions! I guess the quest is so difficult that ordinary professions would find it hard to complete." Xiang Yang was inwardly shocked and speculated.

"Fortunately, I didn't rashly choose Taoist, or I would have lost out. Hmm..." Xiang Yang pondered for a moment, "I'll choose Daojun. It seems to be a profession similar to Taoist, but it should be much stronger, being a hidden profession."

After confirming, Xiang Yang chose Daojun.

"Are you sure you want to choose Daojun as your profession?"

"Confirm!"

"Congratulations, your character creation is successful. Do you want to be teleported to the beginner town?"

"Yes!"

Xiang Yang was slightly excited; he could finally enter the game.

A flash of white light, and Xiang Yang suddenly appeared in a small town from the beginner hall.

—

"Ding!"

System prompt: Congratulations, you have entered Beginner Town 035—Leaf Town.

Xiang Yang looked around at the surroundings, a huge square with many players who had just created their characters, just like him.

Xiang Yang couldn't wait to check his character attributes.

Although he was a beginner, he was different from other beginner players. He was a beginner with an ultimate quest, an ultimate skill, and a hidden profession!

Opening the character panel, Xiang Yang checked his profession introduction. This was a hidden profession, and there was no introduction available on the forums. Moreover, the skills were likely different from those of ordinary players, so everything had to be explored on his own.

Daojun (Unique)

Profession Introduction: Within the weak body of a Taoist lies an indomitable soul. Blessed by the Three Pure Ones, Daojun is a leader who can guide Taoists to the pinnacle!

...

Seeing this, Xiang Yang was secretly amazed. What a powerful background, but he wondered if it was as strong as described.

After all, one-third of Chinese players chose the Taoist profession, which has Chinese characteristics. Could the hidden profession "Daojun" lead all the Taoists in the country?

Daojun (Unique)

Profession Characteristics: Can use all Taoist skills. Starting from level 1, every ten levels, a Daojun-specific skill can be comprehended. At the same time, all attributes of Daojun will be 50% higher than those of a Taoist.

...

Xiang Yang was shocked!

For ordinary players, the Taoist profession is a very special existence compared to other professions. Taoists can engage in both close combat and ranged attacks; they can deal physical damage and magical damage. Moreover, for other professions, only increasing the main attribute can increase attack power, but for Taoists, whether they increase strength or spirit, they can increase attack power!

The main attribute for Swordsmen and Knights is strength, for Thieves and Archers is agility, and for Priests and Mages is intelligence. For these professions, only increasing the main attribute can increase attack power. However, for Taoists, whether they increase strength or the unique Taoist attribute—spirit, they can increase attack power.

Of course, although the Taoist profession seems overpowered, in reality, it is a very challenging profession.

This is because the growth attributes for Taoists' health and defense are average, with only attack power growing a bit higher.

In terms of health, it is slightly better than the Archer, which has the least health, but compared to the Knight, known as the "blood bull," it is nothing.

In terms of defense, it is slightly better than the most fragile Mage, but compared to the Swordsmen who fight on the front lines, it is still nothing.

Therefore, in summary, the Taoist profession has very powerful characteristics, but the attribute growth is very frustrating, making it seem very average. From this, it can be seen that the professions in "The Other World" are very balanced.

However, the profession characteristics of Daojun, the hidden profession, can make its attributes 50% stronger than those of a Taoist.

What does this mean?

The attack power of Daojun will not be inferior to that of a Mage, the health of Daojun will not be less than that of a Knight, and the defense of Daojun will not be lower than that of a Swordsman!

Moreover, since Daojun is derived from Taoist, it has everything a Taoist has and even more!

Therefore, Daojun, the hidden profession, can engage in both ranged and close combat, and can deal both physical and magical damage.

Xiang Yang was completely excited. He didn't expect the attribute growth of Daojun to be so impressive. Moreover, starting from level 1, every ten levels, he would be able to comprehend a Daojun-specific skill!

After all, in "The Other World," apart from the basic profession skill given at birth, all other skills need to be obtained by defeating monsters or completing high-difficulty quests.

At least, he didn't have to worry about skills.

"This profession... is too powerful, almost surpassing all other professions!" Xiang Yang's excitement was hard to calm down. With such a powerful profession, it would be hard not to become an expert!

However, when Xiang Yang continued to read the profession introduction, he was suddenly stunned, as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over him, and all his excitement instantly vanished.

Profession Tip: The experience required to level up for this profession is twice that of other ordinary professions.

...

This is ridiculous!

Xiang Yang felt like rolling his eyes.
