Can't I raise myself?

This kind of equipment only has basic attribute effects. Weapons add attack, clothes add defense.

Only Tier 1 equipment possesses Transcendent Power.

If this were in a game, Ryan wouldn't even glance at this kind of equipment twice.

But in reality, obtaining transcendent equipment is too difficult. Even with a game system that drops equipment from monsters, the drop rate is terrifyingly low. All you get are Steamed Buns and Soul Jades, and not even many Roasted Chickens.

Through normal channels, to obtain transcendent equipment, aside from what already exists in reality, one needs to offer sacrifices to a Deity, just like obtaining a job-changing relic.

Therefore, seeing the Black Gloves put Ryan in a great mood.

[You have passed Janus's trial.]

His gaze shifted, and a new message popped up.

In the somewhat disheveled church, a wisp of silvery light suddenly descended from the giant Janus Statue, landing on 'Lin Qi'.

At the same time, the five Ancient Evil Spirit fragments in the Backpack automatically fused, forming a complete token.

[Ancient Evil Spirit: A powerful evil spirit that existed in the ancient era. It can be transformed into an attached evil spirit for combat through a ritual. In the records of the Holy Scripture, users are often given a mysterious title.]

[Job Change ritual triggered, do you wish to proceed with the job change?]

[Job Change Class -- 'Silent Nun'.]

Ryan froze.

"Nun?"

[Silent Nun: The last Envoy of Earth from the Age of Godfall. To carry out the Deity's will and pass down faith, they fuse their souls with Demon Spirits and command Demon Spirits in combat, using slaughter in place of salvation.]

["Your soul is already filthy. Let me offer salvation for you." -- Silent Nun]

[Class Requirement: Female]

Seeing the class description, Ryan searched his mind, but couldn't find any relevant information.

Although he hadn't progressed deeply in the games he played, he had read a lot of information on the official website and knew the names of some hidden classes. However, 'Silent Nun' was something he had never heard of before.

But when he saw the class requirement, he understood. This thing was originally a hidden class, and the officials wouldn't publicly announce it. As for the big shots on the forums, they were all experts at first-person Shooting and were too engrossed in Shooting to extricate themselves. Very few of them played female characters.

It wasn't that there were none, but they constituted a very small portion of the total player base. They might not browse the forums, and even if they did, they might not be able to trigger the 'Silent Nun' class.

It was normal for Ryan not to have heard of such a rare occurrence within a rare occurrence.

After a moment of thought, he chose to change jobs.

The Silent Nun clearly seemed to be a combat-focused class, and it also worshipped Janus. Judging by the difficulty, it should be more powerful than the Soul Eater.

[Ancient echoes descend, bathed in the divinity of Janus, you have been reborn.]

[Consumed Item: Mana Potion.]

Clang!~

This time it wasn't a bell, but a so-called 'echo'.

Echoes are the Voice of God.

[Job Change Successful.]

The light gradually faded until the church was plunged back into darkness.

Ryan opened his Attribute Panel. What greeted his eyes was Lin Qi's new character image—she wore a gray-black nun's habit, surrounded by burning black wisps of flame. Her hem moved without wind, and her shadow swayed as if an invisible evil spirit was attached behind her.

Silver hair, red eyes.

Mysterious, cold!

[Skills]

Chapter 23: Perverted Hidden Profession, Character Card, and Second Character

"What a perverted profession growth."

In Empress Online, the highest profession growth was five stars, and the lowest was one star. Normal Professions generally had a three-star bias, while hidden professions ranged from three to four and a half stars, with five stars being very rare.

Ryan had been wondering if the Silent Nun's Mana growth would reach five stars. He hadn't expected that not only Mana, but even Constitution had reached four and a half stars.

A solid dual cultivation profession.

"Increased this much?"

Ryan was stunned.

The attribute gap between before and after changing jobs was too large. This was quite different from a pure game.

"It seems the attributes were adjusted entirely according to the growth after changing jobs."

This was a good thing, Ryan didn't dwell on it. He planned to find a wild monster to test the effects, but unfortunately, all the Wisps in the Graveyard had been killed by him for Steamed Buns.

Even without ideal conditions, it couldn't stop Ryan's enthusiasm for his new job. He controlled 'Lin Qi' to leave the church, then summoned the demon spirit.

Whoosh!~

Black mist burned like flames, casting a shadow in the air.

This shadow was humanoid, but its features were unclear.

"Isn't this just a stand-in?"

Ryan felt a strange sense of déjà vu.

The next moment, 'Lin Qi' leaped, and the Demon Spirit lifted her body, directly jumping onto the nearly ten-meter-high building of the church!

"Whoa."

Putting aside everything else, this profession's escape ability was top-notch.

Soon, 'Lin Qi' used the Demon Spirit to shuttle from the rooftop through Central City, arriving at an Old Residential Area.

[Evil Spirit Lv14]

One level higher than 'Lin Qi'.

However, there weren't many. Looking around, there were only three or four.

Evil Spirits, as they were called, were actually formed from leaked Outer God Power. For example, in this Old Residential Area, a Sacrificial Ritual had once taken place. The scattered Outer God Power, over a long period, had given birth to Evil Spirits under the influence of negative human emotions.

They were also known as Evil Omens.

Well, that was the Game Official's explanation.

As for what they were called in the Transcendent World, that was unknown. In any case, Ryan knew that the League of Fire also sent people to clear these things out every day, just not very efficiently.

At this moment.

'Lin Qi's' appearance attracted the attention of the Evil Spirits.

Transcendent and Evil Spirits were mutually attracted, and this attraction was far stronger than that of ordinary people.

"Let me see..."

The Evil Spirits pounced.

If it were before her job change, 'Lin Qi' would have charged forward with her Dagger, but she remained in place. The Demon Spirit behind her suddenly shot out like a flash, hitting an Evil Spirit like an extension of 'Lin Qi's' arm.

Boom!

The hand formed by the Demon Spirit grabbed the Evil Spirit, and black flames ignited. In just a few seconds, it was completely annihilated.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

'Lin Qi' stood in place, the demon spirit behind her unleashing a furious barrage. Setting aside its attack power, its speed was truly astonishing!

She could handle three at once with room to spare. While they were just ordinary wild monsters, it was still terrifying enough.

"So fierce?"

Ryan's heart skipped a beat.

The strength of the Summon Demon Spirit ability was somewhat beyond his expectations. This was a bona fide Stand User.

"Let's try Demon Spirit Entanglement."

After dispatching the three evil spirits, 'Lin Qi' continued deeper, encountering new evil spirits.

The Demon Spirit Entanglement skill was unleashed.

Black mist permeated 'Lin Qi's' body, flame-like wisps floating around her. The demon spirit merged into her, her aura instantly surging.

At first glance, compared to the evil spirits, 'Lin Qi' looked more like a boss.

Ryan saw a new buff appear on the status bar. While the Demon Spirit Entanglement effect was active, the demon spirit would share the damage 'Lin Qi' received. If she took too much damage, the entanglement state would automatically break, the demon spirit would be dispersed, and it would take some time to recondense.

This effectively greatly increased the character's survivability.

Soon, 'Lin Qi' made her move.

After changing professions, characters could use magic to fight. Even without releasing skills, the effect of magic-enhanced physical strength alone was far beyond what was possible before changing professions.

Therefore, the strength gap between Transcendent and non-Transcendent individuals couldn't be fully reflected by just looking at their stat values.

As for how strong 'Lin Qi' was now?

Ryan couldn't tell, because the battle ended before it had even truly begun. This group of level 14 evil spirits couldn't withstand even a few rounds before being easily dispatched by 'Lin Qi'.

"Forget it, there will be plenty of opportunities later."

Unable to find suitable monsters, Ryan decided not to continue testing. In any case, he was certain that the Silent Nun profession was likely top-tier within Empress Online.
