Chapter 3: The Test Begin
This is the job change test.
The arena trembled and then emitted a brilliant light.
Sword of Love and No One have been sitting here since morning, preparing for this test.
According to online information, the difficulty level primarily affects the quest rewards and not the class obtained.
However, just this morning, there was a new post.
【 QUESTION: Why am I, a Paladin, just a guard at the gate of the Holy Temple, while my friend is the captain of The Knight squad? 】
There are many responses to this post. But the one that No One found most reasonable is the chosen difficulty level of the examination.
And it's not wrong. Since this morning, the number of players choosing Hell difficulty has skyrocketed compared to yesterday.
The post questioning this has also become a hot topic.
The key to the position attained after job changing lies in the test's difficulty level.
The higher the difficulty chosen, the higher the position obtained after the job change.
This influences many aspects, not just a title added to the name.
Each class gets a different "salary" weekly if they belong to a faction or work for any faction.
Most Priests are associated with the Holy Nation. When Offline, they can set their account to perform healing duties at the Holy Temple.
Salary depends on the in-game class’s ability to earn money.Additionally, there are bonus items.
As for No One's Bard class, there's nothing much to say. When offline, his character hangs out in the square singing. If people donate money, he gets some; if not, he earns nothing.
People wonder why the game's developers made the Musician class so powerful. It's because there're so few players choose Bard. When offline, they barely earn money, and they're rarely invited into parties, making leveling up a struggle.
Currently, No One is very curious about what class Sword of Love will become.
The combination of Swordsman + Sword Cultivator is very rare.
This is mainly because their basic skills mostly overlap in terms of damage, with significant differences emerging in higher-level skills. The Swordsman begins to specialize in melee combat, while the Sword Cultivator focuses on mid-range attacks, specifically using sword energy to strike enemies.
No One's own combination is also rare, but it's not as useful as Sword of Love's.
The Boss Examination begins to appear.
A giant Ogre in armor, wielding a massive mace made of black iron.
Sword of Love smiles at it.
This jerk and that ridiculous combination, yet he's the highest DPS (damage per second) dealer in the guild.
✧【 Making Love with the Sword - COMPLETED - 00:59:03 】✧
✧【 Xiyu RECORD! - TOP 1 SPEED CLEAR 】✧
Approximately 1 minute.
This crazy asshole...
-
Hana is being guided by Lady Lam on the clan's daily activities. It is required to complete a certain number of clan quests each week.
Most of the tasks are at an average level. Moonlight Clan is not too strict about the clan quests. Completing enough is sufficient, and doing more is a bonus.
Hana nods in understanding.
"These basics are enough. Shouldn't I be taking you to change your job now?"
Hana just started playing and was dragged by Sword of Love to level up at an unimaginable speed. He took her directly from level 1 into a level 60 by spamming dungeon to fight bosses for experience. Just last night, after celebrating her graduation with a party, she played until morning without resting. She hasn't even touched any of the quests and features yet.
It wasn't until she reached level 69 that she was about to sign in for the first time to open the inventory interface.
Even the new player inventory guide notification appeared for the first time!
System: My lady... I’ve waited for you for 68 levels!
As soon as she reached level 69, she fell asleep until now. Upon waking, she logged into the game and joined the clan.
Meanwhile, Sword of Love, after grinding, went to change his job and has been sitting with No One in the arena since then.
These game addicts, their stamina is quite extraordinary.
Lady Lam, wanting to guide the newcomer a little, took her along. She was also curious about the discovery made by the two crazy members of their clan.
...
"So, to summarize, the faster you defeat bosses at higher difficulty levels, the more advantages you have in job changing?"
"Basically, yes."
Lady Lam crossed her arms and watched Sword of Love happily leave the arena after defeating the trial boss.
No One sat there chuckling.
She also breathed a sigh of relief.
If it's just that then good.
She had also conquered the Hell-level difficulty.
Her speed wasn't as fast as Sword of Love's, It was 3 minutes, but it was still average.
The Warrior + Priest combo doesn't deal too much damage.
No wonder she was a Paladin squad leader.
Hana, witnessing her brother in action, was astonished.
Yesterday, she saw her brother slaughter monsters in the dungeon, but she thought they were just low-level, so they were easy to take down.
She didn't expect him to now set a speed-killing record.
Is he really that impressive?
Lady Lam noticed Hana intently watching her brother leave and smiled.
"Aside from his name and personality, Sword of Love is truly a master in this game."
"Hana, don't worry, no one will dare to bully you in this game as long as he's playing."
Hana smiled and nodded.
"Hana!"
Sword of Love had reached the podium at this point.
He greeted his sister with an especially cheerful demeanor.
"Well, it's my turn then."
Lady Lam nodded.
"Can you break his record?"
"Spare me."
No One scratched his head and went down to the arena.
"Who can match that crazy guy?"
"No 11. Level 69. Permission to take the trial."
"Hell."
The examiner nodded.
The arena floor lit up, revealing another Ogre.
No One took a deep breath.
Understanding the situation, Lady Lam covered her ears and told Hana to do the same.
He chanted.
"YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH !!!!"
The entire arena went deafeningly silent, with all NPCs covering their ears.
Even though Lady Lam and Hana had covered their ears, they could still feel the roar echo throughout the whole city.
Yet, Sword of Love didn't bother to cover his ears.
Hana found it odd and turned to ask.
"Brother, why aren't you covering your ears?"
Sword of Love chuckled.
"Why not listen to the battle cry of a ferocious beast?"
"He's got issues, don't mind him." Lady Lam interjected.
【 Song: Peerless Dancer 】
"Peerless Dancer"
"Leads the world."
A melodious song resounded in the arena accompanied by drums and musical instruments, vastly different from the earlier scream, and it was remarkably pleasant.
"That's No One's fighting style, part of why I call him a madman with the rest."
"What's mad about it? Clearly, he's a warrior roaring into battle."
Sword of Love laughed, then explained.
"The Bard class has an innate skill called 【 Vocal That Melt One's Heart 】.】"You should open it and read."
Hana, hearing this, also opened the skill interface to check.
【 Vocal That Melt One's Heart 】
【Passive: The sound emitted from the Bard when singing can have a wide-ranging impact on the surrounding environment, based on the nature of the sound.】
Oh?
"No One deliberately inserted a piercingly loud sound at the beginning of the song activated by the Bard."
"The Bard's 【Music Pieces】 are self-composed by the player by playing and arranging musical instruments, creating an item called a 【Music Cube】, which can be used in battles to automatically play that piece. No lyrics, just the melody."
"The game doesn't force players to sing while the 【Music Cube】 is activated. But every sound a player produces while the 【Music Cube】 is activated is counted as lyrics."
"And 【Voice That Moves Hearts】 allows that sound to create a debuff for the enemies."
"A song with a fast, continuous rhythm will have a speed buff, whereas a slow rhythm creates a speed reduction debuff."
"And that bastard's scream stuns the entire area."
Lady Lam laughed.
Who would start a song with a scream that's deafening?
But thanks to that, when entering a dungeon, it creates so many advantages.
Just imagine starting a battle with your team and having a map-wide aoe stun effect. It's an extremely advantageous move.
Hana was stunned.
Is it really possible to play like this?
