Wang Xian's ID on the Forum was Prophet. Because of the post he had made earlier, many people had taken notice of him. Once the content of that post had been largely verified, he became even more famous.
So, when Wang Xian replied using Prophet's ID, many people received notifications.
But when they saw Wang Xian's reply, they were all stunned.
Kill him!!!
What did that mean?
Everyone was confused.
There were plenty of confused people, but even more who were there just to watch the show and stir things up.
Bed Shakes, Kidney Strength Knows: Bro, I don't know why Prophet wants you dead, but I'm sure you're in huge trouble.
There's a Parasol Tree Outside My Door: Buddy, start preparing your funeral! Prophet knows a lot of secrets. If Prophet wants you dead, you must have a reason to die. Kill yourself to atone!
Twenty-Eight Twenty-Nine Thirty-One: Friend, I don't believe what Prophet says. Tell me where you are, and I'll come protect you. (innocent smile.jpg)
May Snow: So jealous of Hidden Professions!
Cherry Blossom: Please reveal the Hidden Profession skills!
Funeral Love Cold Young Master: I don't think this Prophet is a good person. He must be jealous of this brother's Hidden Profession.
Funeral Love Guo Young Master: That's right, Cold Young Master is right. Prophet must be jealous!
What followed was a string of IDs with the Funeral Love prefix, all uniformly supporting Funeral Love Cold Young Master's reply.
Dragon Knight: Holy crap! Who broke the ancient seal and let these guys out?!
Evil Emperor: The seal has been broken. It is time for me to emerge as well!
Immortal in the Clouds: Evil Emperor, do not be so arrogant! Watch as this immortal seals you away once more!
The thread abruptly went off the rails.
There were countless replies of every kind, but beneath Wang Xian's post, the highest-upvoted reply came from an ID named "Life Has Always Been Full of Simps."
What was a Keyboard Warrior?
As everyone knew, there was an extremely terrifying kind of creature on the internet. They bullied the weak and feared the strong, pointed fingers at everything, argued over anything, sprayed hate at everything, and swarmed like rabid dogs at the slightest scent of blood.
I'm sure everyone knows what I mean, right?
That's right: internet trolls! In other words, Keyboard Warriors!
But no one had expected Keyboard Warriors to become a Hidden Profession under the effects of Datafication.
I am both shocked and envious, and I believe many people feel the same way. (drooling.jpg)
However, after Prophet's reply appeared, things seemed a little different.
Those who don't know Prophet can check out the hottest posts on the Forum. Several of them contain detailed analyses of Prophet.
All right, let's get back to the Hidden Profession known as "Keyboard Warrior."
I believe no one has reached level 10 yet. Since no one is level 10, then according to the post Prophet made, it can be determined that becoming a Keyboard Warrior must have been an automatic profession change.
So let me ask:
What kind of person could change professions into a Keyboard Warrior?
Obviously, an internet troll!
The number of internet trolls was beyond counting. To stand out among them and successfully turn one's "profession" into a Hidden Profession after Datafication, this brother's strength had to be unparalleled among internet trolls.
From this, we can draw a conclusion: this Keyboard Warrior might not necessarily be a bad person, but he definitely wasn't a decent one.
Prophet's intentions were unknown for now, but judging from one of Prophet's posts, Prophet should be an upright person filled with a sense of justice.
Therefore, if any of you discover the Keyboard Warrior, it would be best to capture him, or just kill him outright. I have a feeling that this Keyboard Warrior is definitely going to be a menace.
After reading the reply from Life Has Always Been Full of Simps, Wang Xian nodded and gave it an upvote as well.
He was right. That Keyboard Warrior truly was a menace.
It all came down to his Hidden Profession. The profession itself was bizarre, and its advancement method was even more bizarre. Wang Xian never wanted to see what this Hidden Profession would become after advancing. It would absolutely be the nightmare of everyone in Dragon Kingdom!
If this Hidden Profession could be strangled in the cradle ahead of time, then it was best to do so. This Hidden Profession really should never have appeared!
Especially its owner. His personality could practically be described as "taking revenge on society."
In his previous life, more than a dozen top-tier Hidden Profession holders and over a hundred top-tier experts had joined forces to hunt this guy down. In the end, he still managed to escape.
Later, because of the national war, they temporarily gave up pursuing him. After that, Wang Xian was reborn.
He had not expected this Keyboard Warrior to appear so early.
Still, it was all right. This Hidden Profession likely would not truly come into its own until after its second Profession Advancement.
Wang Xian had said those things now just to make trouble for the guy. It would be best if someone caught and killed him, but it did not matter if they failed. There would be plenty of ways later to stop this guy's Hidden Profession from advancing.
With Wang Xian's single upvote, the Forum became even livelier. It also made more people curious about what exactly the Keyboard Warrior had done to make Prophet care so much.
After checking a few other popular posts and finding nothing worth paying attention to, Wang Xian closed the Forum. It was time to continue leveling!
The forest was quiet at night, but also more eerie. Especially when green Goblin wild monsters occasionally darted out from the darkness—ordinary people would definitely be scared stiff.
But to the reborn Wang Xian, it was perfectly normal. Though he had not been much of an expert in his previous life, he had experienced plenty. He had seen heaps of demons, monsters, ghosts, and strange creatures.
One forest and a few Goblins? Piece of cake.
After grinding wild monsters all night, Wang Xian finally reached level 9.
Feeling slightly tired, Wang Xian found an area without any wild monsters and planned to rest for a while before continuing to grind.
"Vroom~ Vroom~ Vroom~"
"Whoo-hoo—"
Suddenly, the roar of an engine sounded from nearby, mixed with excited yet faintly terrified cries.
Moreover, the sound was getting closer and closer to Wang Xian, as though it was heading straight for him.
Wang Xian stood up, picked up his Wolf Fang Club, and looked in the direction of the sound.
He immediately saw a woman clad in leather pants, a leather jacket, and a leather coat, wearing a helmet and riding a motorcycle straight toward him.
As for how he knew she was a woman?
Between her earlier cries and her figure, anyone who was neither blind nor deaf would know.
The woman on the motorcycle sped all the way to Wang Xian, then came to a beautiful stop right in front of him.
"Uncle, get on! There are snakes behind me!!" the woman shouted at Wang Xian.
Compared to her earlier cries, the woman's voice was much clearer now. From her voice, Wang Xian could also tell that she was not very old, seventeen or eighteen at most.
"You called me uncle?"
Wang Xian was utterly bewildered. He was only twenty-four. It was not like he was old enough to be called uncle, was he?
"Uncle, are you coming or not? If you don't, those snakes will be here soon!" The woman—no, the girl—said impatiently and anxiously.
Wang Xian ignored the girl and turned to look in the direction from which she had come. He saw more than a dozen Jade Scale Snakes, only level 5, rapidly slithering toward them.
Jade Scale Snakes were nonvenomous and ranged from one and a half to two meters long. Wang Xian had farmed them for a while before, but they were somewhat troublesome to deal with, so he had switched to farming Goblins in the forest.
"Uncle, if you don't get on now, I'm leaving by myself!"
The girl saw the Jade Scale Snakes drawing nearer and grew even more anxious. She even reached out to grab Wang Xian's clothes, trying to pull him onto her motorcycle.
Wang Xian glanced at the girl, then sent her a party invitation.
The girl immediately froze, staring at Wang Xian in confusion through the visor of her helmet.
Wang Xian could not be bothered to explain. He picked up his Wolf Fang Club and charged straight at the Jade Scale Snakes.
Now that Wang Xian was level 9, killing level 5 Jade Scale Snakes naturally gave him no experience. However, Jade Scale Snakes were wild monsters that would not stop until one side died. If he did not deal with them, they would still be troublesome. Who knew whether they might suddenly dart out and bite him?
Besides, although the motorcycle girl's words had annoyed him and her tone had been rather blunt, she was not a bad person at heart.
Thus, Wang Xian did not mind helping her deal with this trouble, or even helping her level up a little.
The girl was startled by Wang Xian's actions. But when she saw him use that hideously ugly Wolf Fang Club to smash a Jade Scale Snake to death in just a few swings, she immediately came to her senses and quickly accepted the party invitation Wang Xian had sent earlier.
