Just as Wang Xian had expected, the day after he ran off, some people came to their village and found his parents.

These people were very polite and didn't trouble Wang Xian's parents at all. Especially after seeing the letter Wang Xian left behind, they left directly.

In a large conference room somewhere, a letter was displayed on the projection screen.

This letter was the one Wang Xian had left for his parents before he ran off.

More than a dozen people, who were clearly accustomed to high positions, sat in their seats with various expressions. Some were expressionless, some had stern faces, some were angry, but most wore expressions of amused helplessness.

"Everyone, stop being silent. Let's discuss this 'interesting' little fellow," said the oldest man, seated in the main position.

"Haha, in all my decades, this is the first time I've been threatened. He's indeed very interesting!" someone chuckled.

"That's right, how many years has it been since we were threatened?"

"What do you think? If we catch this little guy and bring him before us, will he still dare to threaten us?"

"Ahem, we're discussing important matters!"

The old man who spoke first coughed lightly, stopping the conversation of the others.

"Right, right, let's talk business."

"After confirmation from various countries, Blue Star has been completely digitized. This is an unchangeable fact, or rather, a fact that we cannot change. What we need to do now is figure out how to gain sufficient benefits in the digitized Blue Star."

"Let's not talk about the disadvantages of digitization for now. As for the benefits, we old folks have personally experienced them. We've all returned to our youth in an instant."

"Who wouldn't agree? Yesterday I had a decisive battle with the people under me, and it felt so good!" said an old man exuding a fierce aura.

"We've all experienced the physical changes, and what the person named 'Prophet' said on the forum has also been confirmed."

"So?"

"Hidden Professions! Hidden Professions should be very important. Otherwise, that 'Prophet' wouldn't have said not to give up on Hidden Professions, no matter how desperate the situation."

"Besides Hidden Professions, levels should also be important."

"I completely agree about levels. I conscripted some livestock, and after killing them, I found my level increased. After the level increase, all aspects of my body were strengthened, and the free attribute points gained from leveling up could also strengthen the body."

"That 'Prophet' probably knows a lot more information, but we can't contact him."

"Do you think the 'Prophet' on the forum might be the 'interesting' little guy who wrote the letter threatening us?"

"There's a possibility. We can't be sure if the 'Prophet' is Wang Xian, but we can basically confirm that the 'Immortal King' in the world announcement is Wang Xian."

"If Wang Xian is the 'Prophet', then everything makes sense. According to what Wang Xian said in his letter, he suddenly started having repetitive dreams a year ago, dreams about Blue Star being digitized. This is also why he quit his stable job to open a farm at home."

"Do you believe that?"

"If we don't believe it, what else can we do? That little guy has already run off, and there's no way to verify it."

"Ran off? Where could he have gone? Shouldn't he be easy to find?" someone asked in confusion.

"If it were before, we could find him easily, but now, it's really difficult!"

The oldest man let out a wry smile and then picked up the remote, clicking it towards the projector.

A vast forest appeared on the projection screen. However, this forest was uneven, with dense trees in some places, bare patches in others, and some areas that should have been lakes, but with no water in them.

"Jicheng Wetland Park was originally a large-scale greening project that was supposed to take years to complete. But with the sudden digitization of Blue Star, this wetland park changed, and countless monsters suddenly appeared.

These monsters, according to the current terminology, should be called wild monsters. The lowest level we've found is level 5, and the highest is level 9. We don't know if there are even higher levels yet.

Wang Xian is currently in this wetland park, but our people are basically all level 0, so we don't dare to enter."

"This wetland park doesn't look that big. Can't we send a drone or a helicopter to search it?" someone else asked.

The old man shook his head. "This wetland park only looks small, but once you enter, you'll find it's many times larger than it appears from the outside. As for drones, we've sent them, but they were shot down by some flying wild monsters. For the safety of our personnel, we haven't dispatched any helicopters."

"So, that little guy planned everything in advance?"

"It seems so."

"By the way, after digitization, isn't there a communication function? Can't we contact Wang Xian using that?"

"No, Wang Xian refuses all incoming call requests, including from his parents."

"It seems we won't be able to contact that little guy anytime soon."

"Indeed."

"So, what should we do now?"

"Let's put Wang Xian's matter aside for now. Since the words of the 'Prophet' on the forum have been confirmed, let's go all out to organize people to level up and vigorously search for Hidden Professions. That 'Prophet' should know some extraordinary information, and it's related to Hidden Professions, otherwise, they wouldn't have emphasized Hidden Professions."

"Agreed!"

"Agreed!"

"Concur!"

In a forest, Wang Xian swung the Wolf Fang Club in his hand, smashing the last ugly, green monster to death before finding a place to sit down.

He had been in this forest for two days, and his level had increased from 6 to 8.

But it wasn't enough. This level didn't give him any sense of security. Only when his level reached 10 and he transferred to a Hidden Profession would he have the confidence to leave this forest and this wetland park.

As for the monster he had just killed, it was a goblin, a common monster in this forest. Their levels ranged from 7 to 12, which was perfect for Wang Xian to level up.

The Wolf Fang Club in his hand was contributed by an 11th-level goblin leader.

Wolf Fang Club (White)

Weapon: Two-handed Blunt

Attributes: +14 Physical Attack Level Requirement: 7

It was a pretty trashy piece of equipment, but it was better than nothing, right? Wang Xian made do with it.

Taking out some food and water from his backpack, Wang Xian ate while opening the forum.

He had been working hard to grind monsters and level up for the past two days and hadn't checked the forum. Now that he was resting, he wanted to see what was happening outside.

Compared to two days ago, the forum was much livelier now.

There were all sorts of posts: requests for equipment, for grinding spots, for teammates, recruitment posts from guilds, and even posts about... well, you name it.

In short, if you could think of it, it was probably here.

Wang Xian ignored those posts and focused on a few of the hottest ones. One of them was the post he had made. He clicked on it and found that the replies criticizing him were gone. Now, they were mostly replies expressing confusion or gratitude.

Finding nothing else noteworthy, Wang Xian closed his own post and looked at the others.

Suddenly, a post caught Wang Xian's attention.

"I've Transferred Professions, and it's a Hidden Profession! I really am the protagonist, the chosen one!"

Someone transferred into a Hidden Profession?

Wang Xian was very surprised, so he clicked on the post.

But after reading the content of the post, Wang Xian fell silent.

That's right, this person had indeed transferred professions, and their profession was considered a Hidden Profession. However, this person's profession was not very well-received.

Keyboard Warrior!

A profession that made countless Dragon Country players grind their teeth and itch with hatred.

Seeing the extremely boastful content of the post, Wang Xian silently replied with four words: "Please kill him!!!"
