Chapter 58: Price on Head

"Welcome to the Divine Land! Player 'Misty River', please choose whether to enter the game or the forum!"

After re-entering the game, the system voice during login rang in his ears.

He originally planned to enter the game directly. But on second thought, he decided to enter the forum first to see if he could find some posts about 'Demon Saint's Heart'.

After entering the forum, the public forum page appeared in his vision and the posts were constantly growing.

At present, most of the forum posts were discussing level 10 monster areas and job transfer missions.

Especially posts related to customised profession missions, consisting of the majority of all forum posts. They were all discussing which job class's profession was better, which profession could make the most money or which profession was stronger.

At this moment, he saw a profession analysis post that was pinned to the top. Out of curiosity, he clicked on it and started reading it.

"Analysis of the four major job classes!"

The three professions in the warrior job class were all close-range professions, namely swordsman, knight and shield-wielder.

Swordsman was a very common profession. The distribution of bonus attributes was quite even, and the operation difficulty was 3 stars. It was easy for novices to learn. However, in the job transfer mission, it was recommended to select missions that are 'difficult' or higher, ordinary missions would earn much less attribute bonuses than other professions, leading to disadvantage later on in the game.

The knight was a more popular profession in the warrior job class. It not only had high attack and movement speed, but could also ride on mounts. Advanced mounts could not only increase the movement speed of the knight, but could also attack the enemy, which was equivalent to two people fighting. In addition, attribute bonuses were not bad, so it would be one of the most popular jobs, but the operation difficulty was a bit challenging at 5 stars.

The shield-wielder, as its name suggested, was a Main Tank type of profession, with high defense and HP bonuses. It also had a taunt skill that could help pull the aggro. This was an indispensable profession in team or BOSS battles. The operation difficulty was 2 stars.

The three professions in mage job class were all long-range professions, namely elemental mage, priest and summoner.

There were five types of elemental mages, namely gold, wood, water, fire, and earth. Wind, thunder, and ice belong to the hidden professions among elemental mages. Needless to say, the mages were a profession with high attack but low HP. In teams, it was an indispensable remote output, and the operation difficulty was 2 stars.

The priest was also quite commonsensical, a profession that specialized in healing, an indispensable HP supplier in team battles. It had low attack and high HP, a profession that girls prefer, and the operation difficulty was 2 stars.

The summoner could summon at most three pets to fight simultaneously. While allocating free attribute points, it was recommended to add on HP and movement speed. If the operation was good, it could be a very powerful job, with a difficulty of 5 stars.

The three professions in the walkers job class were rogue, ranger and archer.

The rogue was the most agile profession in the game, with four skills: stealth, steal, backstab, and poison. It was good at escaping, killing, stealing, and fighting in guerrilla, a very annoying profession but was also a popular one among many players. The operation difficulty was 4 stars.

A ranger was similar to a swordsman in the sense that attributes bonuses were mediocre. But it could control all close-range weapons and summon a "mercenary" to help with the fight. There were three choices for "mercenary", one was attack type, and the other was control type and another was MP type. It's a pretty good job with 3 stars difficulty.

Archer was a profession with bonuses on agility and attack speed. It was mainly recommended for players with high luck. After all, shooting mainly depended on luck. Without luck, it would be difficult to hit the target, unless the players themselves were archery experts in real life. This occupation was very difficult to operate, but it had skills that could restrain the stealth and movement speed of the rogues. It was recommended that some larger teams would need to bring along several archers, and the operation difficulty was 5 stars.

The three professions in the special professions job class were Taoist priest, formation caster, and mechanic.

Taoist priest, a very mysterious profession in the myths and legends of Hualong. The weapon was a variety of evil-warding wooden swords. This profession could use a variety of talismans, some powerful talismans could even control certain walking dead monsters. It was a profession special to this game, all players who were interested were welcome to try out. The difficulty of operation was unknown.

Formation caster relied on forming arrays in fighting the enemy. The weapon was a variety of feather fans. It was also a new profession, the details were unknown, and the difficulty of operation was also unknown.

Mechanic, as the name suggested, was a profession specializing in researching gears and machines, also a new profession, with the details and the difficulty of operation unknown.

　　...

This post analyzed various occupations in detail. No wonder this post had been pinned to the top.

After reading this post, Jiang Ming shook his head and closed it. After all, the professions in it were useless to him. At most, he just needed to gain a brief understanding so that he could better deal with enemies with these professions in the future.

Just after closing this post, he suddenly noticed that the click-through rate of two other posts rose so fast that they topped the forum in just a short while, and the speed made him a little surprised.

One of the two posts was: '00981 Novice Village's top master Jade Emperor was fighting against the mysterious expert from the Demon Wolf Valley. The mysterious expert was suspected to be the murderer at Demon Wolf Valley of 00520 Novice Village.'

Another post was: 'The Jade Emperor is offering cash rewards in exchange for information regarding Misty River's whereabouts. Anyone who knows Misty River's whereabouts or kills him will receive high rewards!"

"Huh?" Jiang Ming frowned when he saw these two posts. "I didn't expect that the Jade Emperor was so extreme, even offering a price on my head. I don't remember being in such grudges with him?"

Muttering under his breath, he opened the first post and read it.

The post contained a short video about him fighting with the Jade Emperor. Because his body was surrounded by purple dragons, coupled with the continuous black energy emanating from his body, his face was not visible. However, this scene was similar to when he was slaughtering players at the Demon Wolf Valley, which allowed many players to know that it was not an NPC who slaughtered the players in the Demon Wolf Valley, but a player!

Knowing this fact, many players were astounded. They would never have thought that it was a player who was cooperating with a wolf and a cat in the Demon Wolf Valley. This made them feel incredulous in addition to confusion.

If it wasn't that the game announcement that mentioned there were no bugs in this game, and everything beyond understanding was actually normal, they would really have thought that this game had bugs.

Closing the first post, he then opened the second post to browse.

The second post was posted by Jade Emperor himself, and there was even a photo of his attributes and red name. In the photo, his facial features and basic information were also revealed. After the photo, there was a brief description about him. After this post was released, all players knew that the player slaughtering players at Demon Wolf Valley, the first player to reach level 10, and the first person to create a personalised skill were all the same person, and his name was Misty River.

"Hu~ Even my appearance has been exposed. I must be more careful when entering the sacred faction. Once I'm discovered, I'll be done for!" Jiang Ming's eyes were full of murderous intent. "Jade Emperor, you've done a 'good job'! When my level returns, you shall be the first to taste my strength!"

After closing this post, he continued to browse through the forum for a while. Not finding any clue about 'Devil's Heart', he quit the forum and entered the game.
