Hidden Profession

Regarding Hidden Professions, Wang Xian originally didn't want to write about them. He was afraid some people would get ahead of themselves, constantly dreaming they were the protagonist, the chosen one, and neglect their leveling.

However, he then remembered reading forum posts in his past life from people who had received Hidden Profession transfer quests, only to despair at the tasks and eventually give up. He felt a pang of regret.

In future National Wars, some Hidden Professions would be comparable to national artifacts. They would be absolute powerhouses, capable of changing the tide of battle and turning the world on its head single-handedly.

This was a real world transformed into a game, not an online game. There was no such thing as balance.

The strong would always remain strong; it wasn't just a saying.

The impact of National Wars was immense. The losing side would have virtually no hope of rising again. They would either be kept as livestock or truly be killed until they "quit the game."

Thinking of Dragon Country being besieged by numerous countries in his past life, and recalling that precarious situation, a chill ran down Wang Xian's spine.

If Dragon Country lost the National War, its people would have no hope. Furthermore, those countries would very likely hunt Dragon Country's players until they "quit the game."

As for why so many countries would attack Dragon Country?

Resources!

What resources?

Dungeons!

Dragon Country might not have the most Dungeons on Blue Star, but the quality of its Dungeons was undoubtedly the highest on Blue Star.

The Dungeon tiers were: Beginner Dungeon, Intermediate Dungeon, Advanced Dungeon, Legendary Dungeon, Epic Dungeon, and Mythic Dungeon.

Before Wang Xian died, Dragon Country had discovered thirteen Mythic Dungeons, over a hundred Epic Dungeons, and thousands of Legendary Dungeons.

What about other countries?

While they had quite a few Legendary Dungeons, as well as Epic and Mythic Dungeons, their numbers were far fewer than Dragon Country's. Some countries had only discovered up to Legendary-tier Dungeons as their highest level.

Even though people in Dragon Country could only clear Legendary Dungeons at that time, other countries were already afraid once they learned about the quantity and quality of Dragon Country's Dungeons!

Why?

Dungeons were equivalent to levels, equipment, and pets.

With so many high-tier Dungeons, once Dragon Country cleared them all, it would be a disaster for other countries!

Thus, the National War erupted, with dozens or even hundreds of countries besieging Dragon Country.

Although he had been reborn, Wang Xian estimated that the National War would still unfold the same way as before his rebirth, with multiple nations attacking.

Since he had been reborn, Wang Xian naturally wanted to change this. It wasn't out of any grand sense of justice, but simply because he didn't want to die.

The outbreak of the National War couldn't be prevented. This matter would begin to brew once the quality and quantity of Dungeons exploded, and it couldn't be hidden. There were many foreigners within Dragon Country.

Kill those people?

Don't be ridiculous!

Doing so might even trigger the National War prematurely.

If the National War broke out later, there might be a glimmer of hope for victory. If it broke out now, there was no chance of winning.

Besides, how could they kill so many people? Even if they did, who could guarantee that information about the Dungeons wouldn't leak?

Therefore, although the National War hadn't broken out yet, it had become a foregone conclusion.

Since the outbreak of the National War couldn't be stopped, the best course of action was naturally to increase Dragon Country's strength.

Increase Dragon Country's overall strength?

That was something Wang Xian truly couldn't achieve. In his past life, he was just an average player, slightly above middle-tier. He only knew about ordinary matters and nothing important.

Lead powerhouses to farm Legendary Dungeons?

Don't joke around. He had never even been to a Legendary Dungeon in his past life, nor did he understand how to farm one. Most of his time was spent trying to farm Advanced Dungeons multiple times to improve his level and equipment.

With Wang Xian's current abilities, the only thing he could do was help more people in Dragon Country obtain Hidden Professions. After all, he was also someone who daydreamed in his past life, thinking about transferring to a Hidden Profession and soaring to the heavens.

Thus, when he had nothing else to do, Wang Xian specifically sought out forum posts about Hidden Professions to read.

Because of this, Wang Xian knew where to pick up some Hidden Profession transfer quests and how to complete some of the transfer tasks.

This was the only way Wang Xian could help Dragon Country.

The earlier Hidden Professions appeared, the stronger those Hidden Profession users would become, reinforcing the idea of the strong always remaining strong.

As for why Wang Xian himself didn't go for a Hidden Profession?

He didn't need to!

The drop of Mysterious Blood he had consumed would grant him a Hidden Profession.

Speaking of this, Wang Xian felt a pang of frustration.

In his previous life, he had just obtained a Hidden Profession when he was ambushed and killed before he could even showcase its brilliance.

Fortunately, he had been reborn!

"Ding! Ding! Ding!"

A continuous stream of notification sounds rang in Wang Xian's ears. Wang Xian froze for a moment before realizing these were notifications that someone had replied to a forum post.

He opened the forum, clicked on the thread, and Wang Xian was instantly dumbfounded.

The post he had just made had already reached tens of thousands of replies, and was even heading towards one hundred thousand.

Glancing at the replies, Wang Xian's brows furrowed deeply. He had expected responses like objections, questions, or even thanks. But he never imagined that the replies would either accuse him of disturbing social stability, say he had malicious intentions, or simply be mindless insults.

"If he's killing animals and insects now, will he start killing people later?"

"Claims that suicide can restore disabled or terminally ill people are nonsense. It's not even confirmed if resurrection is possible yet. The poster just wants to plunge the world into chaos."

In short, the replies completely painted Wang Xian as a demotivated, inhumane, brutal, vengeful extremist.

Occasionally, a reply raising an objection or a question would be buried without a trace by the others.

One reply was heavily pushed to the top, a response that was almost a warning.

It warned everyone not to go into the wild to kill for some so-called leveling up, stating that the wild was basically full of protected animals and doing so would be illegal.

It also mentioned that excessive killing would affect one's personality, making people extreme and eventually leading to madness.

Wang Xian shook his head and directly closed the forum.

It wasn't that he didn't want to argue, but the sheer number of people attacking him was overwhelming. For every word he said, there would be a hundred, a thousand, or even ten thousand waiting for him.

Furthermore, the forum had no restrictions. You could say or curse whatever you wanted, and no one would step in to silence you.

Wang Xian didn't know who was so disciplined in blocking his posts, nor did he want to know. He only knew that anyone who believed those people and didn't trust the content of his post would surely regret it.

And that regret would come very soon.

Once someone reached level ten and unlocked the Leaderboard Function, everything would become clear.

Thinking about the public outcry that erupted when the Leaderboard Function was activated in his previous life, Wang Xian inexplicably found himself looking forward to it.
