[Curse Acolyte Job Change Requirements]:

Task 1: Assassin players must reach level 30. After accepting the job change task, they can obtain additional Crimson Essence by hunting any other monsters (excluding players). Collecting 10,000 points of Crimson Essence will unlock Hell Path – First Form, successfully changing the job to Curse Acolyte.

Originally, upon seeing that Task 1 was so simple, all assassin players were excited.

Because compared to the Rune Warrior, who needed to find various materials for job change, the assassin, relatively speaking, had no difficulty at all, except for some grinding.

But upon seeing the skill mastery requirements below, all assassin players broke down in tears.

Task 2: Class Advancement

Hell Path — Second Form: Avīci (None): Find three sources of curse power, submit them to the job change instructor, and have the instructor inscribe the three curses into your body to complete the second class advancement: Avīci Demon.

Hell Path — Third Form: Prajñā Life-Sacrifice (Level): Without form or appearance, Prajna relinquishes life, comprehending the true meaning of Prajna in death (extremely difficult, requires players to comprehend on their own).

Hell Path — Fourth Form: Mountain-Shaker (Illusory): Collect fragments of the mountain spirit and submit them to the job change instructor to complete the advancement.

Seeing the requirements for the advancement tasks below Hell Path, all assassin players were dumbfounded.

Assassin_Creed: Why is the requirement for this strongest Prajna Relinquishing Life so vague? Comprehending in death, does it mean we have to keep committing suicide? Why is there a skill that requires players to comprehend on their own? Can't the skill instructor teach it?

A great assassin player replied to Assassin_Creed: Maybe the instructor doesn't know it either (wry smile).

A Mammoth: Equally confused, the learning of Prajna Relinquishing Life is too abstract. It's the first time I've encountered an ability that requires self-comprehension. This difficulty is too high. I'll wait for the assassin experts to comprehend it and release a tutorial!

Strike_Gold: As expected, the stronger the ability, the greater the learning difficulty. I finally feel balanced. But I feel that the assassin's job change is really easy, just kill monsters. We Berserkers don't even have a job change yet, so painful!

Ye Xue'er is the Cutest: Guardian Angel brothers, let's go sweep the Ghost Mountains. After I collect 10,000 Crimson Essence, I want to become the first Curse Acolyte in this game!

Ye Xue'er's Little Follower replied to Ye Xue'er is the Cutest: Xueer must be the strongest! Go for it!

Crayon_Shinchan replied to Ye Xue'er's Little Follower: Hello, licking dog, nice to see you again, waving~

Ye Xue'er's Little Follower replied to Crayon_Shinchan: Humphヽ(#`Д′)?〃!

Crayon_Shinchan replied to Ye Xue'er's Little Follower: Backhand, a staff slams you to the ground!

Except for Night Butcher, assassin players can be said to be completely confused about the advancement methods of other classes.

Lu Wu couldn't do anything about this. After all, the Curse Acolyte template was easy to design, but the advancement completely depended on the players themselves.

Especially Prajna Relinquishing Life, even when the Curse Clan was around, only a few could master this skill. So, based on reality, learning these powerful abilities still requires players to cultivate on their own.

The reason why Night Butcher's ability is easy to master is that Bei Li always set up a convenient channel for Curse Acolyte job changes in the artifact.

When players collect 10,000 Crimson Essence and hand it over to the job change instructor, all these Crimson Essence will be sent into the artifact space, and the artifact will help players inscribe these Crimson Essence into their bodies, which is equivalent to helping players forge a new body.

The players completely skip the steps of swearing an oath to Hell Path and making sacrifices, which can be said to be much easier.

Although the task difficulty is very high, it does not affect the excited assassin players at all. Everywhere you can see them frantically looking for wild monsters.

With the appearance of the Curse Acolyte, the mage players, although a little depressed, are also very much looking forward to the appearance of their job change class.

Lu Wu naturally wouldn't keep them waiting for too long. Under the omnipotent Bei Li's research, the mage's template has already begun to be finalized. As long as Bei Li tests it again and confirms that it is feasible, it will be put into the game.

At the same time, in order to enrich the game's playability, Lu Wu plans to set the next repaired building as the "Spirit Summoning Chamber".

This Spirit Summoning Chamber was the place where King of Beiqi used to store defeated enemy generals and fallen heroic spirits. It contains the souls of many brave generals who once followed King of Beiqi to expand his territory. It is a sacrificial building.

Lu Wu gave up repairing the equipment vault and chose the Spirit Summoning Chamber first also for his own consideration.

At this stage, the job change class is slowly being improved, but the hidden class is completely blank.

According to Bei Li, there are several warriors with extremely high talents among these heroic spirits, and their inheritance can be completely stripped out by the artifact.

Then, set some randomly triggered job change tasks in the game. After the players complete them, they can obtain this inheritance power and become a hidden class in the game.

If this function is launched, then players can be said to have truly opened up all-round development.

Because these hidden classes are completely different existences, even detached from the three main classes, which can make the game full of more unknown playability.

However, all of this is still in the planning stage.

Lu Wu's Soul Coin income was growing rapidly every day, but his expenses were also enormous.

For example, Lu Wu had recently set up two teleportation arrays at the border between the Netherworld and the Liuli District to facilitate players' travel back and forth.

This also cost him a lot of Soul Coins, so the remaining Soul Coins were still far from the 200,000 Soul Coins needed to repair the Spirit Summoning Chamber, and he still had to save up.

However, the Underworld was always full of surprises, and accidents could happen everywhere.

Just as Lu Wu and Bei Li had finalized the development direction of the hidden class, Bei Li frowned, and then sank her mind into a player in the Underworld.

Seeing this, Lu Wu also turned his perspective to the Underworld.

In a dead forest in the Liuli District.

A Berserker player was looking up at the blue sky with a look of despair.

It wasn't that he wanted to look at the sky, but that he had fallen into this pit more than ten meters deep, and the surrounding area was smooth rock walls. He didn't know what to do except look at the sky.

He tried to climb a few times, but the rock wall was too smooth and extremely hard. His blue quality greatsword couldn't cut into it at all. He tried several times, but slipped back down before climbing even a meter.

He had originally thought about committing suicide to get out, but what made him even more desperate was that every time he was injured, a green light would seep out from the surrounding rock walls to heal his injuries.

Faced with this situation, Sun Qi leaned against the wall with a look of decadence, staring blankly at the sky, lost in his own world.

"White Phantom Tomb? Wu, this player actually entered the White Phantom Tomb!!!"

Looking at the very decadent Berserker, Bei Li exclaimed in surprise.

"What is the White Phantom Tomb?" Lu Wu asked curiously.

"A unique Yin Soul Beast of the Beiqi land, a very precious and noble existence. When this kind of creature is nearing the end of its life, it will look for a hidden place to leave its life inheritance, leaving it for a destined Netherworld creature to inherit. He's lucky!"

Although Lu Wu didn't quite understand, he was impressed.

The preliminary production of the Beiqi land map template has just been completed~

Players who are not familiar with Beiqi can join the group to take a look
