After killing the Ghost Overseer Commander and the army he led, the players were filled with joy.

Many people were destined to be sleepless that night. However, when the players logged into the game the next day, they found an additional display prompt in the game.

[Berserker First Job Advancement Class Rune Warrior Showcase]

Many curious players clicked on this information, and the scene in front of them changed, appearing in a vast wilderness area.

In the center of this open space stood a tall warrior, his body engraved with runes of various colors that flickered.

[Class Introduction]: [Rune Warrior]: In pursuit of ultimate power, Berserkers abandon weapons, using themselves as vessels to inscribe the runes of heaven and earth, forging the strongest body. Class Trait: Each time a new rune is inscribed, one's own power can be greatly increased, and the characteristic skills of the inlaid rune are obtained. Equipped Weapons: Unarmed, Gauntlets Class Requirements: Initial class must be Berserker, and level must reach 30.

After the introduction disappeared, the Rune Warrior in the open space moved, and the runes on his body began to flicker, emitting a buzzing sound like an engine.

"Rune of Strength!"

Accompanied by the Rune Warrior's roar, the red gem on his body suddenly flashed, and his arms began to gradually swell, veins popping out. He slammed a fist into the ground, and suddenly dust billowed, a huge pit appeared on the ground, and cracks began to spread around.

"Rune of Defense!"

With his next roar, the blue gem flashed with brilliant light, and the Rune Warrior crossed his hands in front of his chest, his body slightly bent, and a blue arc of light appeared.

At the same time, a figure holding a staff appeared in front of the Rune Warrior.

"Death Descends!" Accompanied by the mage's angry shout, a meteor shower of condensed Yin energy fell from the sky.

However, these attacks hit the blue light curtain, and apart from a few ripples, they could not break through its defense at all.

"Rune of Speed!"

After the attack ended, the green gem lit up, and a cyan mist enveloped the Rune Warrior. His figure flashed, instantly disappearing from the spot, and continuously flickering around.

After the demonstration, the game introduction reappeared.

[The Rune Warrior class has multiple growth modes, and the number of inlaid runes can be increased as the level increases.] [This update adds the Berserker job advancement class: Rune Warrior, and a new NPC: Job Advancement Instructor.] [Rune Warrior job advancement requires completing the job advancement quest to successfully advance.] [Job Advancement Quest Introduction]: Details can be found at the Job Advancement Instructor "Master Qu".]

The content of this update was released, and it immediately caused a sensation throughout the Battle Online forum.

Peppa_Boar: So strong! So strong ahhhhh! Seeking job advancement materials, buying at a high price.

Lonely Worry-free: Damn! Why are there no other classes? Is the Berserker the game's favored son? Is it still too late to change classes now?

Button Masher: Strongly condemn, why isn't there a job advancement for my great assassin? I'm already jealous.

P2W Player: Sad, is there no day for my sewer mage to rise?

Crayon_Shinchan replies to P2W Player: Fellow mage, let's cry together.

Thunder Master replies to Crayon_Shinchan: Add me, let's cry together, and give the developers the middle finger.

Strike_Gold: Luckily I chose Berserker, laughing at your jealous purple faces.

While the players were discussing, a question post appeared on the forum.

This post also included a picture of the Rune Warrior job advancement quest details.

Rune Warrior Job Advancement Requirements: First Stage: Hunt designated monsters Second Stage: Collect materials to forge runes (must complete one of them)

Rune of Strength fusion materials: Black Cinder Ore (produced in the Langya Scorched Earth Mining Zone), Molten Core (produced in the Blazing Hell), Black Armor Shard x10 (dropped after killing Black Armor Evil Spirits)

Rune of Defense fusion materials: Black Cinder Ore, Corpse Water Core (produced in the Corpse Water River Domain), Netherworld Pearl x10 (dropped after Netherworld Warriors are killed)

Rune of Speed fusion, Destruction Rune fusion, Flight Rune fusion, Burst Rune fusion, Special Rune of Qiu Niu fusion, Special Rune of Xing Tian fusion...

Third Stage: Job change successful, career advancement mode activated

BeastFighter:

Can someone tell me, what the hell are these job change materials? Apart from the Netherworld Pearl, I don't recognize a single one, and I don't even know where these places are.

Reply:

LonelyWorryFree: 666, the harder the better, it would be satisfying if you Berserkers were driven into depression trying to find them.

P2WPlayer: Agree with the above, but after looking at it, I feel that this job's growth is really strong, with all kinds of buffs. No, I'm already jealous, I curse you all to never find them.

Peppa_Boar: I'm dumbfounded, Rune Warriors are really fierce, but the difficulty of this job change is definitely beyond your imagination. From what we know, there are only a few who can solo Netherworld Warriors now, let alone other monsters that sound so strong.

Strike_Gold: I'm still trying to figure out how to collect the simplest Strength, Defense, and Rune of Speeds. I feel that it's impossible for one person to obtain those special runes.

Ye Xue'er Is The Cutest: Strong protest, why doesn't my great Assassin have such a powerful job change? I demand a Rune Assassin!

Ye Xue'er's Little Follower replies to Ye Xue'er Is The Cutest: Xueer is right about everything!

Crayon_Shinchan replies to Ye Xue'er's Little Follower: Simp, simp, in the end, you'll get nothing!

Looking at the players' discussions, Lu Wu smiled and rubbed Bei Li's little head:

"You're really something, actually figuring out a new job based on a single rune!"

Bei Li pushed Lu Wu's hand away with her little head, her face full of pride:

"Of course, I'm currently researching job changes for mages. I'm going to launch three mage-type job change directions for players to choose from."

"Which three?" Lu Wu asked curiously.

"The Curse Branch, which specializes in control and debuffs, the Demon Branch, which specializes in output, and the Sprite Branch, which specializes in transformation. Each has its own characteristics and is very powerful."

"Awesome!" Lu Wu gave a thumbs up.

"What about assassins? What should the job change for assassins be like?"

"I'm still considering assassins. These jobs I'm creating require special Underworld materials to be added to the players, which is equivalent to creating new body templates for them. It's not like I can add whatever I think of, so every job change must be carefully considered and repeatedly researched!"

"Is there anything I can help with?" Seeing Bei Li burying herself in research every day, Lu Wu felt a little guilty.

"You... just buy me lots of delicious food every day. After all, researching this stuff is very mentally draining and requires all kinds of delicious food to replenish nutrients. As for helping with the research, that's not necessary. After all, research requires a lot of talent and intelligence, you definitely can't help."

Bei Li's serious words made Lu Wu's self-esteem throb faintly.
