Congratulations, player has obtained a hidden class option. Hidden class: Messenger of the Netherworld.

Messenger of the Netherworld: An envoy of the netherworld, acting solely based on personal preferences. Class characteristics: Those the Messenger of the Netherworld hates automatically become 'human-shaped monsters,' and those the Messenger of the Netherworld likes automatically become NPCs. Class abilities: Unknown. All instances for the Messenger of the Netherworld must be triggered by the player; the system will not provide them.

Previously, the system classified Wang Tian as a 'bad person' as a monster, and killing a bad person would refresh the corpse. Good people were classified as NPCs, and killing an NPC would not refresh the corpse, making it easy to be discovered and pursued by police NPCs. However, if Wang Tian chose the Messenger of the Netherworld class, there would be no such danger. He could kill anyone he wanted, even high-ranking officials of China, and their corpses would still be refreshed. This meant that even if Wang Tian went on a rampage, becoming the leader of a criminal organization was possible.

This was truly a lawless class. Whether choosing a warrior, a Taoist, or a mage, there was always a constraint. Choosing the Messenger of the Netherworld allowed him to do as he pleased.

This class also fit Wang Tian's personality perfectly.

He never considered himself a good person. His actions in the past were driven by his emotions. When a thug bullied Wang Yu, Wang Tian beat the thug almost to death. When Wang Yu wanted ice cream as a child, he stole it from a vendor because he had no money. He helped a woman who had her money stolen on a bus because he couldn't stand it. When a few beggars bullied Dugu Yuntian, he intervened because he couldn't stand it. He always believed that there was no need to pretend to be a righteous person; all he needed was to act according to his conscience.

Therefore, despite the unknown abilities and the lack of system-provided instances, Wang Tian decided to choose this class.

He clicked to select.

Player, do you confirm the selection of the Messenger of the Netherworld class?

Confirm! Wang Tian clicked to confirm without hesitation.

Congratulations, player has obtained the hidden class: Messenger of the Netherworld. You have gained the Messenger of the Netherworld skill.

Wang Tian opened his skill bar.

He saw a new circular skill icon in his skill bar. Inside the circular icon was a crescent moon, which looked exceptionally mysterious and noble against the dark night sky.

Elegance of the Nether Deity: A natural skill of the Messenger of the Netherworld. Each 'human-shaped monster' killed increases all attributes by 0.5 and personal charm by 100 points.

Seeing this skill, Wang Tian was stunned. Killing a monster actually increased all attributes! However, it only worked for human-shaped monsters, which was a bit of a drawback.

Personal charm increased by 100 points. What did this mean? It was almost heaven-defying. Would women automatically throw themselves at him, undressing themselves?

System prompt: Due to the special nature of the Messenger of the Netherworld class, the player will only gain one class skill per level-up, while ordinary classes gain a skill every 10 levels.

This meant that Wang Tian would have to reach level 30 to gain his second Messenger of the Netherworld skill, which made him a bit depressed. However, with the heaven-defying skill Elegance of the Nether Deity, it seemed greedy to ask for more.

Looking at the two pieces of Nether Moon equipment in his inventory, the Nether Moon Battle Armor required level 10 to equip, and Wang Tian was only level 5. The Nether Moon Ring was for females, so he couldn't wear it.

Wang Tian, still wearing the beginner's set, felt extremely frustrated.

...

"Senior Sister, let's find a hotel to stay in," Wang Tian said to Li Shuang. Seeing Li Shuang staring at him with starry eyes, he asked, "Why are you staring at me like that?"

"I just realized how handsome you are!" Li Shuang said. In her heart, Wang Tian was more than just 'handsome'; he had an indescribable charm. She couldn't help but feel a bit jealous, wondering how many girls he would attract in the future.

Elegance of the Nether Deity was indeed powerful.

It was already dark. Wang Tian took Li Shuang to a hotel, booked two rooms next to each other. They were in the middle of an instance, so they had to be cautious for safety.

Actually, Li Shuang was an NPC recruited by Wang Tian. Sleeping in the same room or even the same bed wouldn't bother her. However, Wang Tian treated her like a sister and respected her.

"Senior Sister, go ask the people from the Sixth Major Case Team what they are doing and if there has been any progress," Wang Tian instructed. He knew that this crackdown was a joint operation with the Sixth Major Case Team, and he didn't want them to take his 'monsters.'

Li Shuang made a phone call and then told Wang Tian: The Sixth Major Case Team was still in a meeting, discussing the case in a lively and vivid manner, and had made significant progress.

Wang Tian felt relieved. They could continue their meeting as long as they didn't take his monsters.

Back in the room, Wang Tian began to think about his next target.

The rogue in the South City was already dead, leaving only the Long Gun, the Instructor, and the female boss, the Red Spider Lily. He couldn't deal with the Instructor alone, and the Long Gun was a long-range sniper, which was very dangerous. He might be killed before even seeing the boss, so it was best to avoid him for now.

Wang Tian decided his second target would be: the Red Spider Lily.

The next day, he drove the Blue Moon War Car with Li Shuang to the western part of the city, stopping in front of a luxuriously decorated building. The building had several golden characters: "Buxin Elegant Entertainment Club."

Li Shuang linked her arm with Wang Tian's, and they walked toward the entrance.

The security guards at the door saw them and their eyes lit up. The man was incredibly handsome, the woman was stunningly beautiful, and they were driving an unknown luxury car. They didn't dare to be rude.

They bowed and said, "Please show your VIP cards."

VIP cards were needed to enter? Wang Tian was puzzled. It seemed that money alone wouldn't solve the problem here.

"We don't have VIP cards. We just heard from a friend that it's fun here, so we wanted to take a look," Wang Tian said. It was broad daylight, and using force would alert the enemy.

Even as a Messenger of the Netherworld, killing people would refresh their corpses, but he still had to consider the impact.

"Sorry, but you can't enter without a VIP card. However, you can apply for one," the security guard kindly reminded them.

"How long does it take to get approval?"

"At least a month."

A month? By then, it would be too late.

"Sorry to bother you," Wang Tian and Li Shuang stepped back. What should they do? Wang Tian decided to wait nearby and see if they could snatch someone else's VIP cards.

They sat in the car and waited.

At this moment, a little girl around 11 or 12 years old walked over nonchalantly.

The girl had long, flowing hair and was very cute. She wore a light blue sleeveless top with two pink bows on the chest, which made the top slightly bulge. She wore very short shorts, exposing her delicate thighs. Her clothes were made of very soft material, making her look even more delicate.

She came to Wang Tian's car and said, "Big brother, do you want to go in?" Her voice was very sweet, with a special rolled 'r' sound, making it very pleasant to hear. Jianghuai City was in the Jiangnan region, and the girls here had a special charm in their speech, especially those from small towns. Girls in big cities, who were exposed to TV too much, had their voices homogenized by Mandarin.

"Little sister, how did you know?" This girl gave a feeling that made people like her at first sight.

"Here, take this." The girl's soft little hand handed Wang Tian something and then ran away quickly.

Wang Tian opened his palm and saw two VIP cards!

He was stunned, looking at the girl's back. He quickly checked her information: Female NPC. Name: Mo Zigui. Gender: Female. Age: 12.

Health: 59-67. Attack: 25-39. Skills: None. Equipment: None.

Mo Zigui? Why did she give him two VIP cards? He had never met her before. Mo Zigui? What a nice name! Wang Tian remembered a line of poetry: "In the past, the cuckoo cried under the moon, grieving over the empty mountains..."

Seeing this, Li Shuang secretly thought: This Wang Tian, even a little girl is attracted to him. He is truly... terrifying.

"Senior Sister, let's go in!"

Regardless of why she gave him the VIP cards, she was probably a system NPC. The most important thing now was to deal with the monsters.

With the VIP cards, the security guards no longer stopped them but bowed respectfully and let them in. As soon as they entered, they were attracted by the scenery inside.

The interior was not luxurious but elegant. After living in a noisy city for a long time, coming here felt like entering another world, giving a sense of freshness, naturalness, and transcendence.

In the center was a large, unique rock, with a water pool below. Water flowed from the pool through a special device, over the rock, and back into the pool. A large part of the rock was suspended in the air, and the water flowing down looked like a waterfall. On top of the rock was a small pond with a few green fish swimming in it. A sculpture of an old man with a long beard wearing a straw hat was fishing by the pond...

On both sides of the hall were two clusters of green bamboo. Below the bamboo was a small stream, with bamboo leaves floating in it. Small fish swam in the stream, which originated and ended at the water pool under the rock, forming a continuous cycle.

The seats in the hall were shaped like sawn-off tree trunks, and the walls were adorned with artistic oil paintings. This blend of Eastern and Western styles looked harmonious rather than jarring.

Although Wang Tian was attracted by the layout, he didn't forget his purpose for being there.

A door had a faint noise coming from inside. Wang Tian pushed it open.

Inside was a large room. On the far left were several tables where about a dozen people were playing mahjong. They played silently, never speaking. The chips on the table were not money but colorful tokens. Many of the players were well-fed and wore international brands, suggesting that the tokens were valuable.
