Brute Sorcerer and the Treasure Chest

The launch of the achievement system was purely accidental; it seems that each achievement is accompanied by a title.

This can be considered one of the laws of the Pro World. Xu Nan was not surprised by this. After all, even the world of data has been accepted, so this kind of setting is quite normal!

As for the title of "clown"... don't you think you're already too famous to be noticed?

Xu Nan must be tired of living to equip such a title!

He began to focus his attention on other things.

[You have acquired the combat skill - the first three forms of A Wei's Eighteen Unbinding Hands (Monk)]

[Combat skill bar unlocked...]

You have earned 30 Shame Points.

Your level has increased by 1; you have reached level 5.

You have gained 1 free attribute point.

You have gained 96 skill points.

You have gained Level 5 spell purchase privileges!

The sheer volume of information sent chills down Xu Nan's spine.

He first glanced at the list of level 5 spells, but was greatly disappointed. Level 5 spells were still within the scope of first-level spells, basically just enhanced versions of level 4 spells, with nothing new.

The spells he desires, such as the Anywhere Door, are second-level spells, which require advancement in rank before they can be purchased.

He had already accumulated two free attribute points, and after careful consideration, he decided to put them all into Charisma. As a result, his Charisma reached 22 points, making him devastatingly handsome and beyond compare!

Xu Nan is definitely not the kind of person who is attracted to good looks!

Anyone whose attribute exceeds 20 points and reaches the "Transcendent" realm will gain extraordinary power, usually manifested as an extraordinary specialty. For example, Xu Nan's Extraordinary Charm reward is "Universal Gravitation." However, transcendence is not the end of the extraordinary realm.

Once your attribute reaches 25 points, you can reach the [Transcendent Saint] realm, gaining saintly specialties that are many times more powerful than mere transcendence.

Reaching 30 points in attributes is the highest realm mortals can reach, the [Domain of Gods], granting them godlike feats and other rewards!

Xu Nan pondered that his other attributes seemed to be quite high, at least enough to be an elite template. He decided to first increase his main attribute, Charisma, to 25 points and see what the Saint's specialty was!

On another note, thanks to the Golden Apple, Xu Nan's intelligence has also reached 20 points, achieving a transcendent level.

However, the reward of the extraordinary intelligence feat was somewhat disappointing.

[The Wise Men Never Sleep]: Because of your extraordinary intelligence, you can remain in a state of sleeplessness for a long time without being affected by any negative impact.

"It's just lifelong insomnia!"

"Sleeping is a pleasure, okay?! Why can't I sleep?!"

"I'm not one of those crazy people who just sit in the Magician Tower researching spells. This specialty is practically useless to me!"

Well, this specialty is indeed very suitable for scholars like mages. After all, there are plenty of mages who believe that "there's no need to sleep much while alive, and one can sleep forever after death." In contrast, warlocks frequent all sorts of high-society entertainment venues, throwing parties, singing, dancing, and chasing girls. That's reality!

After the two attribute points were allocated, Xu Nan's six-dimensional attributes are as follows:

[Strength 14/Agility 11/Constitution 12/Intelligence 20/Perception 15 (+1)/Charisma 22 (Transcendent)] (Note 1.)

Apart from his slightly weaker physique, he's excellent in every other way, considering he's only level 5!

Then there are skill points.

After some initial exploration, Xu Nan has developed his own strategy for allocating skill points, reserving 128 skill points as a backup. The skill bar and the newly unlocked combat skill bar are as follows:

[Skills: Identify Spell (30), Concentration (30), Mystic Knowledge (30), Bluff (50), Gather Information (15), Diplomacy (15), Hide (15), Stealth (15), Intimidation (30), Bribery (20)]

Combat Skills: Blazing Fire Blade Technique (50), A Wei's Eighteen Unbinding Hands (50)

In the power system of the Pro World, skills are just a character's most basic ability. The newly unlocked combat skills represent the ability in battle. However, spellcasters usually have relatively few combat skills and rarely have a separate combat skill list.

Finally, there's the Shame Points.

Because he has spent less recently and earned a lot from missions, Xu Nan's Shame Points have now reached 72. If he uses them all to buy level 4 spells, he can buy 36 of them!

They had quite a bit of savings.

But that's not what Xu Nan is focused on!

"Finally, I've reached level 5!"

"Can I advance?"

"I wonder what advanced branches Ron Sorcerer have?"

Xu Nan excitedly rubbed his hands together, leaving the chaotic scene to Yu Simiao and the others to handle, while he pretended to be exhausted and hid by the lake to check the advanced route.

As a bloodline-based class, the fundamentals of the Ron Sorcerer remain unchanged, but after level five, many advanced options still emerge.

These different approaches represent how Ron Sorcerer stimulates his bloodline from different angles.

A brand new special mission has been added to the Quest Card!

[Ron Sorcerer Bloodline Awakening Quest]

[Task Name: Initial Advancement]

[Task Description: Choose an advanced plan and unleash your potential!]

[Mission Reward: Second Awakening of Bloodline]

This task is much simpler, and it lists many advanced branches below.

Thunder Sorcerer: Controls the power of lightning and possesses a powerful physique. Most importantly, he is not afraid of power outages and can generate electricity by rubbing himself!

Necromancer: Walking on the edge of life and death, listening to the language of the dead, necromancers are one of the best candidates for forensic medicine, making it easy for them to find employment.

Demon Sorcerer: Manipulating chaos and evil, and exploiting the labor of foolish demons is a wise choice. Lost Paradise highly recommends it!

Cuckold Sorcerer: Getting cuckolded makes you stronger!

The sheer number of advanced branches gave Xu Nan a headache.

"Why are there so many fancy branches? Aren't there any advanced classes that look like they belong to a superhero?" (Note 2.)

Xu Nan complained.

The system then very thoughtfully provided a recommended advanced career path!

Xu Nan's face darkened when she clicked on it!

[The Brute Sorcerer: Taking the unconventional approach is our motto. The monstrous strength of our ancestors will surely return in glory. Why think about problems that can be solved with fists?]

Next to him was a portrait of a Brute Sorcerer, much like a world-class bodybuilder. The man was smiling gently at Xu Nan, exuding an indescribable aura.

"Get lost! I'd rather stick to the path of magic machine guns! Superhuman strength and melee combat are totally not my thing!"

Xu Nan slammed the character card shut; he needed to calm down.

Advancement is something that can't be rushed. Besides, even if you choose an advancement path, you still need to complete many troublesome tasks and collect a lot of task items before you can possibly advance!

Furthermore, while advancement can boost combat power in the short term, in the long run, advanced classes are not necessarily much better than basic classes; at most, they each have their own strengths and weaknesses.

Even if he advances, Xu Nan still needs to raise his basic Ron Sorcerer to level 10 or higher.

"Let's see how things go. When we visit Mr. Luo Mang again, we can ask for his opinion."

Xu Nan stretched while sitting by the lake.

Most people were near the altar, studying the things left behind by the Cultists. Xu Nan had long known about Tiamat's messy and sordid affairs, so he wasn't interested.

Just then, two girls, one tall and one short, walked over.

Xu Nan smiled and nodded in greeting.

The taller one is named Su Qiao, about sixteen or seventeen years old, and the shorter one Li Zhenzhen, fourteen years old this year. These two girls were Xu Nan's tenants before, mainly living in the closet of Xu Nan's master bedroom...

"Brother Xu Nan, you must be tired..."

The two girls are cousins. The older cousin, Su Qiao, is a bit shy, while Li Zhenzhen, although only one child, is more lively. She was the one who spoke first.

Xu Nan looked at the two of them, knowing exactly what was going on. "Is there anything I can help you with?"

Li Zhenzhen looked around and suddenly took out a dark black iron block from her bosom and handed it over. "Brother Xu Nan, take a look at this."

Xu Nan didn't take it seriously at first, but later his expression became serious.

This isn't an iron block at all, it's a piece of mithril!

Although its purity is not high, it is still a very rare alchemical material on Earth!

These two girls are something else.

Xu Nan suddenly realized that they were the first group of guests to move in. Although they could only stay in closets because there was no room available, they had been paying for alchemy materials as room fees from the beginning!

Compared to other penniless people, Su Qiao and Li Zhenzhen are considered rich.

He squinted and sized up the two girls.

Su Qiao was a little nervous, while Li Zhenzhen was quite natural.

"This is mithril. Are you two trying to bribe me?" Xu Nan coughed, breaking the silence.

"We two would like to collaborate with you, Brother Xu Nan."

Su Qiao said softly, "Don't you want to know where all these things of ours came from?"

Xu Nan nodded.

"My sister, Li Zhenzhen, is a believer of the Treasure Chest God."

Su Qiao smiled helplessly, "She's always been a money-grubber... Never mind, never mind this part."

"In short, she has a natural sense for treasure chests. We found one nearby, but we couldn't retrieve it on our own."

"So..."

Xu Nan understood. "So you're asking me for help?"

"Where's the treasure chest? I can't see it."

Li Zhenzhen pointed behind Xu Nan: "Right there!"

Xu Nan turned around, and there it was—the lake.

"Even if it's in the lake, you can still produce it, right?" Xu Nan was still somewhat skeptical.

Su Qiao smiled shyly, "This treasure chest is a high-grade treasure chest, it has a spirit, and it is easily startled by worldly things, so it's best to approach it naked and quietly..."

Xu Nan nodded. "I understand, you want to see me swim naked?"

Li Zhenzhen nodded excitedly, but Su Qiao pressed her down!

"No... we didn't welcome... we just..."

While Su Qiao was still blushing and explaining, Xu Nan had already started taking off his clothes.

Are you kidding me? What haven't you seen, you big fish? I've even survived streaking, so what's skinny dipping?

Treasure chests are things that you can only come across by chance, and Xu Nan was very curious about what kind of treasure he would get with his luck!

Note 1: Please don't fill in the gaps. Before the book goes on sale, I'm going to give you a rundown of the main character's current stats. Actually, this is the hardest part to write. If you don't like it, you can skip this part.

Note 2: "Imba" is a gaming term meaning "unbalanced" or "unbalanced," typically referring to a class, hero, skill, or monster that is extremely powerful and severely disrupts the game's balance.
