Hidden Profession

As for Hidden Professions, Wang Xian had originally not wanted to write about them. He was afraid some people would aim too high, spending all day dreaming that they were the protagonist, the chosen one, and neglecting their levels.

But then he remembered browsing the Forum in his previous life and seeing quite a few posts from people who had received Hidden Profession transfer quests, only to be driven to despair by the tasks and ultimately forced to give up. It felt like such a pity.

In the future National Wars, some Hidden Professions would be comparable to Nation-Protecting Divine Artifacts. Their wielders were absolute powerhouses, capable of changing the course of battle and turning the tide all by themselves.

This was a game transformed from the True World, not an online game. There was no such thing as balance.

The strong only grew stronger. That really was not just a saying.

National Wars had an enormous impact. The losing side basically had no hope of rising again. They would either be kept like livestock or truly be slaughtered until they "quit the game."

Whenever Wang Xian recalled how Dragon Kingdom had been besieged by so many countries in his previous life, recalling that precarious situation, a chill ran through his heart.

If Dragon Kingdom lost the National War, its people would have no hope whatsoever. Moreover, there was a high chance those countries would slaughter Dragon Kingdom until it completely "quit the game."

Why had so many countries joined forces to attack Dragon Kingdom?

Resources!

What resources?

Dungeons!

The number of Dungeons Dragon Kingdom possessed might not have been the highest on Blue Star, but their quality was absolutely the highest on Blue Star.

Dungeons were divided into Beginner Dungeons, Intermediate Dungeons, Advanced Dungeons, Legendary Dungeons, Epic Dungeons, and Mythic Dungeons.

Before Wang Xian died, Dragon Kingdom had discovered thirteen Mythic Dungeons, over a hundred Epic Dungeons, and more than a thousand Legendary Dungeons.

What about the other countries?

They had quite a few Legendary Dungeons, as well as Epic and Mythic Dungeons, but their numbers were far lower than Dragon Kingdom's. Some countries had discovered no Dungeon above Legendary Grade.

Although at that time the people of Dragon Kingdom could only clear Legendary Dungeons, other countries were already afraid after learning of Dragon Kingdom's Dungeon quantity and quality!

Why?

Dungeons were equivalent to levels, equipment, and pets.

Dragon Kingdom possessed so many high-level Dungeons. Once they were all cleared, it would be a disaster for every other country!

Thus, National War erupted, with dozens, even hundreds, of countries besieging Dragon Kingdom.

Though he had been reborn, Wang Xian guessed the National War would still unfold just as it had before his rebirth, with all nations joining forces against them.

Since he had been reborn, Wang Xian naturally had to change that outcome. It was not because he possessed some great sense of righteousness; he simply did not want to die.

The outbreak of National War could not be changed. Once the quality and quantity of Dungeons were revealed in the future, this matter would begin brewing. It could not be concealed, either—there were quite a few foreigners within Dragon Kingdom.

Kill those people?

Don't be ridiculous!

That might detonate the National War ahead of schedule.

If National War broke out later, there might still be hope of victory. If it broke out now, they would not have even the slightest chance of winning.

Besides, how could they kill so many people? Even if they did, who could guarantee that news about the Dungeons would not spread?

Therefore, although National War had yet to erupt, it had already become an established fact.

Since there was no way to stop National War from breaking out, the best solution was naturally to increase Dragon Kingdom's strength.

Increase Dragon Kingdom's overall strength?

That was truly not something Wang Xian could do. In his previous life, he had merely been an above-average nobody. What he knew were only ordinary matters; he knew nothing about anything important.

Lead powerhouses through Legendary Dungeons?

Give him a break. He had never even entered a Legendary Dungeon in his previous life, much less understood how to clear one. Most of his time had been spent thinking about running Advanced Dungeons a few more times to raise his level and improve his equipment.

With Wang Xian's current abilities, the only thing he could do was help Dragon Country People obtain more Hidden Professions. After all, in his previous life, he too had loved daydreaming about becoming a Hidden Profession and soaring to greatness in a single leap.

Thus, whenever he had nothing to do, Wang Xian would specifically seek out posts about Hidden Professions to read.

Because of that, Wang Xian knew where to receive some Hidden Profession transfer quests and how to complete some of those transfer quests.

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

The earlier Hidden Professions appeared, the stronger their holders would become. This was precisely what he had meant earlier by the strong growing stronger.

As for why Wang Xian did not obtain a Hidden Profession for himself?

He truly did not need to!

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

At the thought of that, Wang Xian's teeth ached.

In his previous life, he had only just obtained a Hidden Profession and had not even had the chance to let its brilliance shine before someone schemed against him and got him killed.

But fortunately, he had been reborn!

"Ding! Ding! Ding!"

A continuous stream of notification chimes rang beside Wang Xian's ears. He froze for a moment, then realized they were notifications that someone had replied to his Forum post.

He opened the Forum and clicked on the post, only to be utterly dumbfounded.

The post he had just published had already accumulated tens of thousands of replies and was even charging toward one hundred thousand.

After reading through the replies, Wang Xian's brow furrowed deeply. He had thought the responses would contain objections, questions, or perhaps even gratitude. He had never expected that they would either accuse him of disturbing social stability, claim he had malicious intentions, or simply mindlessly insult him.

Things like, if people killed animals and insects now, would they start killing people later?

Things like, claiming suicide could restore disabled people and terminally ill patients was complete nonsense. Whether people could even revive had yet to be confirmed, and the person who made the post only wanted to throw the world into chaos.

In short, those replies had completely painted Wang Xian as an extremist with no fighting spirit, no humanity, a vicious and cruel nature, and a desire to retaliate against society.

The occasional reply that raised objections or questions would be trampled out of sight by the other comments in the blink of an eye.

One reply in particular had been pushed all the way to the top. It was practically a warning.

It warned everyone not to go slaughtering in the wilderness for the sake of so-called leveling up. Most creatures in the wild were protected animals now, and doing so would be illegal.

It also said that excessive Slaughter would affect one's personality, make people extreme, and eventually turn them insane or foolish.

Wang Xian shook his head and directly closed the Forum.

It was not that he did not want to argue, but there were simply too many people insulting him. If he said one sentence, a hundred, a thousand, or even ten thousand sentences would be waiting for him.

Furthermore, the Forum had no restrictions whatsoever. Here, people could say whatever they wanted and curse at whatever they wanted. No one would come out and mute them.

Wang Xian did not know who was so organized in attacking his post, nor did he want to know. He only knew that anyone who listened to those people and refused to believe the contents of his post would definitely regret it.

And that regret would arrive very soon.

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

Thinking of the public uproar that had erupted after the Leaderboard Function opened in his previous life, Wang Xian suddenly found himself looking forward to it for no particular reason.
