Chapter 23

The Assassin Job Mentor didn't waste any words. With a wave of his hand, a golden light entered Wu Shaochen's body, and a system notification sounded in his ear:

"Ding, congratulations on successfully changing your job. Do you want to redistribute your free attribute points?"

Players have one chance to redistribute their free attribute points the first time they change jobs after leaving the novice village. This is primarily to accommodate mage players, who rely heavily on basic attacks in the early stages due to a lack of skills. Therefore, they wouldn't invest points in intelligence initially, as it would significantly hinder their development. Most would allocate points to strength instead. Upon changing to a mage, those initial attribute points would become useless. Hence, the system offers one chance to reallocate points upon the first job change, showing a touch of humanity.

Wu Shaochen thought about it and decided it wasn't necessary. Except for 5 points in constitution, all his points were in agility, which perfectly matched the assassin's attributes. So, there was no need to redistribute and waste time. He directly chose "No."

"Ding, congratulations on becoming a great assassin. After changing to an assassin, players will receive 2 extra attribute points in agility with each level-up, in addition to free attribute points. The higher the level, the more points will be added."

Each profession has its exclusive attribute points: warriors get 2 strength points, mages get 2 intelligence points, shield guards get 2 constitution points, archers get 1 agility and 1 strength point, and priests get 1 intelligence and 1 spirit point. Other points can be freely allocated by the player.

Upon successfully changing his job, the previously suppressed experience points were released, instantly leveling him up to level 11. He gained 40 health points, 20 mana points, and 10 free attribute points, with 2 points automatically added to agility.

Level LV10—LV11, Health: 1710—1750, Mana: 150—170, Agility: 76—78, Movement Speed: 100—102, Attack Speed: 50%—51%. Remaining attribute points: 30. Experience: 2060/30000.

At the same time, a server-wide announcement echoed through the Huaxia server:

"Server Announcement: Congratulations to player 'Dust' on successfully changing jobs. As the first player to change jobs, the system rewards you with 1000 reputation points, 50 gold coins, and a special skill book. This is an official announcement!"

"Server Announcement: Congratulations to player 'Dust' for successfully changing to the Assassin profession. As the first player to change to the Assassin profession in the entire server, the system rewards you with 500 reputation points, 20 gold coins, and an Assassin skill book. This is an official announcement!"

The two consecutive server announcements left the entire Huaxia server in silence again. It was "Dust" once more. It could be said that now everyone in the Huaxia server knew this name. Since the server opened, "Dust" had been constantly making headlines, making it impossible not to know him.

"Who on earth is this 'Dust' and why is he so impressive?"

"Exactly! It's only been a day since the server opened, and he's already been on TV three or four times."

"Damn, I'm only level 8, and he's already changed jobs. We entered the game at the same time, and I haven't logged off since then. How can there be such a big gap?"

"Seeking contact info, need to ride his coattails!!"

"World Dominance" glanced at his experience bar at 50% of level 9, his face darkening.

Many top players in various novice villages frowned. Most real experts had already reached level 9 and felt it was a pity.

"Junlin, the title of top assassin is no longer ours!" Haoran said regretfully.

"I didn't expect him to switch to an assassin; it's a bit of a shame. But an archer suits me too," said Junlin. He originally wanted to become an assassin because of their high critical hit rate and his preference for close combat. However, the archer profession also matched his talents.

"Yeah, if we reach level 10 and no one has claimed the title of the first archer, you should switch to an archer. I have a feeling that the skill book given to the first player to change professions in each class is very powerful," said Nan Feng.

"Agreed. Let's level up quickly. The teleportation array in our novice village has been repaired. As long as we reach level 10, we can change professions, which is a natural advantage," said Junlin.

"Okay."

Su Muxue heard the system announcement and saw the rewards for being the first to change professions. She glanced at her experience bar, which was at 45% of level 9, and said to Uncle Liu beside her, "Uncle Liu, from now on, focus on helping me level up. This is a rare opportunity, and I think I can strive to be the first player to switch to a mage."

"Alright, that's long overdue," Uncle Liu replied. With his sharp insight, he could clearly see that this was an excellent opportunity. If Su Muxue became the first player to switch to a mage, it would be incredibly beneficial for their future development.

After hearing the system prompt, Wu Shaochen breathed a sigh of relief and quickly logged off to eat. He had breakfast around eight in the morning, and now it was almost four in the afternoon. He was starving but had held on to secure the first profession change reward. Now that he had it, he could finally log off and eat.

Taking off his helmet, Wu Shaochen habitually checked his bank account balance on his phone, which had become his favorite activity. Balance: 607,650yuan.

"Holy crap, 600,000 already?" Wu Shaochen exclaimed in surprise. He had been so focused on grinding that he hadn't noticed his earnings. 600,000 yuan—enough to buy a house in a small city. He laughed, feeling he had made the right gamble. However, he still didn't know where his talent came from.

Wu Shaochen washed up, got dressed, and went out. He hadn't eaten well for two days, so today he planned to have a feast.

Wu Shaochen arrived at a relatively large restaurant near his rental place. He hadn't been willing to spend money here before, but now he could afford to indulge. He ordered several dishes at once and scrolled through short videos on his phone while waiting. Most of the top-liked videos were in-game recordings, with the highest likes going to videos of various guilds taking down the Wild Boar King. Seeing that several guilds had already defeated the Wild Boar King, Wu Shaochen couldn't help but marvel at the power of guilds. If it weren't for his talent that countered the Wild Boar King, he couldn't imagine when he would have been able to defeat it under normal circumstances.

The restaurant's business was noticeably worse than before, with only a few scattered tables occupied. Most of the conversations he overheard were about "The Oracle."

"Who do you think this Dust is? He's incredible."

"Yeah, I wonder how he levels up so fast. We started playing at the same time, but I'm only level 7 while he's already changed professions."

"Exactly. I'd love to know what kind of person he is in real life. It would be great to meet him."

Wu Shaochen smiled to himself, thinking, "I can't believe that in just over a day, the game has had such a huge impact."
