Starting in an Online Game With 3000 Death Soldiers - Chapter 7
Chapter 7: Primordial Shield Envoy!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Not long after Jack completed the novice dungeon, an announcement sounded in the Divine Realm.
“Congratulations to player [Legion] for completing the novice dungeon with a SSS grade! Reward: Hidden Occupation Item!”
“Congratulations to player [Legion] for completing the novice dungeon with a SSS grade! Reward: Hidden Occupation Item!”
“…”
The novice city Jack was in was called Tianke City.
As the announcement sounded, all the players in the city were shocked.
Everyone’s faces were filled with shock and disbelief!
“Divine Realm has been around for 60 years. This must be the first Grade-SSS rating in the novice dungeon!”
“Back then, even the top powerhouse only received a Grade-S evaluation!”
“The top powerhouse had Grade S talents, could it be that the Legion also has Grade SSS talent?”
“A gift from the heavens! A gift from the heavens! We, humans, have hope once again!”
“Those damned things from the outer realm, just wait and see!”
“…”
Not only was there an upsurge in the Divine Realm game,
the players’ forums, blog top searches, and all sorts of communication platforms went crazy.
Everyone was talking about Legion!
Jack achieved Grade-SSS. In less than half a minute, this information was sent to every higher-up in the Heavenly Realm Federation.
One minute later, the Assassin Alliance, also known as the Dark Whisper Alliance had issued a bounty:
One billion would be rewarded for any clues relating to Legion’s identity!
Two minutes later, the Heavenly Realm Federation issued an order. The Heavenly Realm Federation responded firmly:
Legion’s identity was not to be divulged. Those who disobeyed would be charged with treason against humanity! They would be killed without mercy!
If Legion was willing to join the Heavenly Realm Federation, he would learn from the top powerhouse and receive the highest level of protection and treatment!
Four minutes later, the Dark Whisper Alliance posted a new bounty:
[Legion] officially became the top assassin!
Both sides started a tug of war regarding Legion.
However, this did not affect Jack for the time being.
As the first reward for completing the novice dungeon mission with a Grade-SSS, he obtained an occupation item: Primordial Stone!
“After using the Primordial Stone, basic occupation will be evolved!
“Found basic occupation: Shield Envoy! Evolution will result in exclusive evolved occupation: [Primordial Shield Envoy]”
Primordial Shield Envoy: An evolution occupation exclusive to Shield Envoys. Additional attribute [Shield Value], evolved from original skill. Obtained Primordial Shield Envoy’s exclusive skill.
Shield Value: Immune to any damage below Shield Value attribute, damage above Shield Value attribute will be deducted.
Note: [Shield Value] is the only attribute that cannot be duplicated. Its attribute value is derived from the combination of the five-dimensional attributes.
Looking at the introduction of the Primordial Shield Envoy, Jack was ecstatic.
He had originally planned to change his occupation to [Heavy Armor Shield Envoy].
After all, due to his talent, that occupation did not suit him. He was even prepared to choose an occupation that would allow him to survive until the end.
But the appearance of the Primordial Shield Envoy gave Jack a new hope.
Jack had no reason to refuse it.
When he saw the attributes of the Primordial Shield Envoy, he was extremely tempted.
That word “immune”!
It was sick!
As long as he kept increasing his five-dimensional attributes, he would be invincible!
The Primordial Stone that he had just obtained was used up before long.
“Job evolution successful!”
“Congratulations on obtaining an exclusive hidden occupation: [Primordial Shield Envoy].”
“Skill: Shield Up Lv1, World’s Favor Lv10.”
“Begin evolution!”
“Congratulations on obtaining Exclusive Skills: [Primordial Thorn], [Primordial Favor].”
“Skills you’ve learned: [Shield Exemption], [Shield Attack].”
[Reminder: Return 10 Skill Points.]
Primordial Thorn: Passive skill. When attacked by an enemy, it will deal 10% ([Shield Value]) true damage.
Primordial Favor: Increases Defense by 200 and grants the designated target [Shield Value] attribute for 30 seconds. Cooldown: 10 minutes.
Shield Exemption: Shield equipment will appear in an additional equipment column. It does not occupy the main weapon column. You can equip any job’s weapon.
Shield Attack: Attacks a single target, causing 40% of the total shield’s damage and ignoring the opponent’s defense. Cooldown: 3 seconds.
After the occupation change, Jack’s strength had improved comprehensively.
ID: Legion
Level: Lv 10
Occupation: Primordial Shield Envoy
HP: 1400 / 1400
MP: 1000 / 1000
Talent: Growth
Attributes: Strength 25, Intelligence 5, Spirit 5, Defense 32, Agility 22, Luck 1
Shield Value: 89
Skills: Primordial Thorn Lv1, Primordial Favor Lv1, Shield Exemption Lv1, Shield Attack Lv1
Status: Rank Power
The introduction of the Shield Value was very tempting.
Current Shield Value: 89 points.
In other words, any damage less than 89 points was equivalent to nothing for Jack.
After his occupation changed, Jack felt refreshed.
Originally a Black Iron Skill, Primordial Thorn had transformed into a Silver Skill.
This gave him the ability to counter damage. He no longer needed a shield like before. This time, it was a full range of his body!
Originally a Gold Skill, Primordial Favor did not change in quality, but its effect was very powerful.
From a skill that could only be used on oneself to a support-type skill, not only could it protect his teammates, it could also be used on himself to increase his Shield Value!
It was an all-powerful skill.
The Shield Exemption surprised Jack quite a bit.
Not only did it increase a main weapon slot, but it could also equip all classes’ equipment!
This was equivalent to adding a piece of equipment!
How could it not surprise him.
The last Shield Attack made up for his lack of damage output and disregarded the opponent’s defense completely.
The surprise brought by the evolution of occupation was enormous.
But Jack knew this was far from enough.
If he wanted to become stronger, the increase in his level was far from enough.
He needed something else.
Equipment, items, and skills were indispensable.
Equipment could give him a huge boost in attributes and also increase his Shield Value.
Fortunately, other than forging them at blacksmiths, it could be obtained in the mystic realm dungeon.
If Jack found a good dungeon and assigned his Death Soldiers there. He would definitely be able to obtain suitable equipment.
But that would be a little inefficient.
The items, especially the potions that could permanently increase attributes, were all very precious items. They were not sold in cities.
One would generally only be able to obtain it in the higher grade trading grounds.
In comparison, it required a huge amount of funding. Otherwise, it was impossible to buy it.
Many powerful forbidden-level skills could only be learned in mystic realms.
After 60 years in the Divine Realm, many missions and dungeons belong to Guardian University.
The university relied on the mystic realm’s dungeons to nurture powerful guardians to send to the outer realm’s defensive line. They could barely manage to support the situation.
If Jack wants more resources, he must get into the best Guardian University.
They had the best resources, the strongest mentors, and even the highest-level blacksmiths in the entire Federation. They could help Jack grow rapidly.
More importantly, Jack had to kill the outer-realm monsters if he wanted to continue leveling up.
Only by becoming a Guardian could he advance to the outer realm defense line.
In the novice dungeon, Jack accumulated 40 Silver Coins.
[Gold coins: Silver coins: Copper coins = 1: 100: 10000]
One Copper coin was equivalent to 10 yuan Federation currency!
Jack’s monthly allowance was only 1,000 yuan.
This 40 Silver Coins was equivalent to 40,000 yuan!
It would keep Jack from worrying about his livelihood for three years.
Jack clicked his tongue.
No wonder the Guardians were so popular. It was not without reason.
