The next moment, Berg's face was as red as if it were flushed with blood, and the surrounding villagers stared at him with envy and jealousy.

To be granted a surname by a Prince of a superpower was such a great honor for a commoner! Even in their dreams, they wouldn't dare to imagine such a thing.

Slap! Berg was slapped hard, and the person who did it this time was none other than himself.

Because reality was too good to be true, he wondered if this was a beautiful dream he was having in the afternoon.

But the sharp pain from his face told him that this was indeed reality.

This incomparably noble Your Highness was really willing to take him as a servant and even bestow a surname upon him.

Berg could only rejoice that when he saw someone being besieged while hunting in the forest that day, he suddenly had a moment of kindness and shot an arrow that was beyond his usual level, which led to this dreamlike adventure.

"Creator above, gods above, I, Berg Chu, hereby swear—" After calming down, Berg steadied his emotions and said loudly again.

"From this day on, I will serve Prince Mingyu Xia as my lord, and I will be his loyal servant, his hunting dog."

"Whether the road ahead is full of thorns or wildfires, I will follow in his footsteps, and with my life, my arrows, and my soul, I will guard his glory and dignity until the end of my life."

Berg's voice became more and more sonorous, even with a kind of almost fanatical piety.

"I swear, no matter what kind of enemy I face, no matter what kind of predicament I encounter, I will stand by your side and use my flesh and blood to block all swords and knights for you."

"Your enemies are my enemies, your ideals are my ideals, and whether your requests are just or unjust, reasonable or unreasonable, I will do everything in my power to fulfill them for you."

"If I break this oath, may the Sun God scorch my body, the God of Thunder strike my soul, and the God of Earth split open a deep valley to swallow my final resting place."

Berg's voice trembled slightly, he slowly bowed his head, his forehead almost touching the ground, his voice low but increasingly clear.

"Your Highness Mingyu, please accept my allegiance."

"I accept your allegiance, and I believe your oath. I promise that from now on, I will protect your safety and illuminate your path to becoming a strong person."

Xian said softly, and patted Berg heavily on the shoulder twice.

Path to becoming a strong person... Your Highness, my lord, still remembers what I said when I first pledged my allegiance! Berg's heart was warm, and he slowly stood up, his eyes shining brightly.

Just as he wanted to thank his lord for his generosity again, he saw a white light suddenly rising above the other person's head.

Behind the long label of "Heir to a Kingdom of 1.4 Billion Citizens", a new label gradually condensed.

"My lord, your class has successfully condensed!" Berg said in surprise.

Without him saying it, Xian had already felt the changes in his body.

His body seemed to become lighter, and a cool sensation came from his mind, making his whole body feel as comfortable as if he were soaking in an open-air hot spring.

"Berg, I'll go back first."

Xian, who originally wanted to CPU Berg a few more times, hurriedly ran towards the wooden house.

He couldn't wait to see what his class and the abilities it brought were, because that would directly determine whether his journey in this Seven Rings World would be in difficult mode or heaven mode.

If he was lucky enough to get a class with heaven-defying abilities like Transmigrator or Fool, then he could just play with his feet in the future.

After Xian left, the villagers, who had long been unable to restrain their excitement, surrounded Berg.

"Good lad, you are truly blessed by the gods! You made a mistake and were still taken as a servant by Your Highness, and even given a surname... It's simply more incredible than the poems sung by bards!"

"Hey, hey, don't forget our village when you become successful in the future, remember to come back and visit often."

"You must never forget Your Highness's kindness. If you dare to betray Your Highness in the future, don't blame me for not acknowledging you as my brother!"

The villagers surrounded Berg, chattering away, some even lifting Berg high into the air.

At this moment, Robert slowly walked towards Berg, and the villagers, seeing this, made way for him.

"Does it still hurt?" Robert looked at Berg, who was covered in injuries, and sighed softly.

"It doesn't hurt, not at all!"

Berg grinned, a bright smile appearing on his battered face.

Although his body ached, the infinite joy brought by his spirit had long overwhelmed the pain.

"Sigh," Robert's brow twitched as he looked at him.

"Do you hate me for hitting you so hard just now?"

"If I hadn't been beaten by you, Uncle Robert, my lord might not have accepted me. I'm grateful to you!" Berg couldn't help but laugh.

"Always so improper!"

Robert glared at Berg fiercely, and the latter coughed a few times, regaining his usual indifferent and calm demeanor.

"Berg, you must remember, no matter what happens in the future, no matter what the reason, never disobey your lord's orders again," Robert instructed.

"Yes, I will!" Berg said decisively.

"Also, if Your Highness hits you in the future, no matter how hard he hits you, you must not dodge like you did when I hit you today."

"Also, if anyone dares to insult Your Highness, you must be the first to jump out and kill them."

After giving many instructions, Robert looked at Berg, who still had a firm expression and no trace of annoyance on his face, and nodded in satisfaction.

"Today, our village has resolved a crisis and has had such a joyous event. Tonight, let's take out the village's reserves and hold the grandest bonfire feast in the history of Fruit Basket Village!"

Robert waved his hand with high spirits, as if he had regained the vitality of his youth.

"Long live the village chief!!"

"Oh ho ho! I can have a sip of Red Fruit wine!"

The villagers' cheers almost overturned the Old Oak Tree.

On the other side, in the wooden house.

Xian stared blankly at the reflection in the water tank, his expression dazed.

He never would have thought that the profession he obtained would actually be this!

In the reflection of the water tank, after the line of white text "Heir to a Kingdom of 1.4 Billion Citizens," another line of white text appeared—"College Student."

"Although the profession is a summary of past life, this profession is too abstract," Xian's mouth twitched.

He didn't really care about what profession he got. What he cared about was what kind of wonderful abilities this profession could bring him, and preferably abilities that would help him in battle, like Knight or Hunter.

But when he thought of the average physical test scores he had seen before transmigrating, Xian had the urge to plunge headfirst into the water tank.

"Forget it, let's look at the abilities first."

Xian sighed and focused his gaze on the "College Student" tag.

Gradually, two more lines of text emerged below the tag.

Clear and Foolish: You will find it easier to win the favor of others upon first meeting.

Absent-mindedness: You can empty your mind and let your body take over the action.

Huh, can a mortal-level profession also have two abilities?
