The Death List Novel - Chapter 172
Chapter 172 Job Options
The Beast King Hunter and the Jungle Hunter’s introductions were somewhat similar. They were able to use all kinds of long-range and short-range weapons, and at the same time, their summoning abilities had been enhanced to a certain extent. However, this enhancement was limited to beast-type creatures and some special plants. As for dead souls, puppets, and other inanimate summoning creatures, he could still possess them, but he did not increase them.
Demon Hunters also had no restrictions on the types of weapons they could use. They also possessed many auxiliary abilities, such as formations, pupils, halos of the Sacred Element, curses of the Evil Spirit Element, and so on. There is a great deal of choice in this regard, allowing the apostles to choose freely.
As for the last type of combat mage, it was a very different type of combat profession. This profession was labeled as a mage, but it wasn’t actually a ranged attack profession. Instead, he used magic to engage in close combat, which was somewhat similar to a martial artist with both martial and demonic cultivation. Qin Lun guessed that this career path had a lot to do with his own crystal mirror magic array.
These four combat professions caused Qin Lun to hesitate. He was not doubtful about the career plan he had chosen, but he lacked intelligence information and was unable to determine which profession was more suitable for him.
Although taking up a certain combat profession required one to complete an induction mission, choosing the right path now was clearly helpful in preparing for the skill mix of the profession in advance.
In fact, Qin Lun did not know that ordinary apostles would not have such happy troubles. Ordinary apostles had great difficulty in obtaining skill scrolls. Before they started their career path, they had experienced more than ten foreign missions.
These apostles had generally obtained enough intelligence information to plan their own career path earlier than Qin Lun. Normally, when they obtained a skill scroll, they would immediately exchange it for a specific skill. Therefore, when they activated their profession system, there would generally only be one or two very similar combat professions, not a variety of professions like Qin Lun.
However, when Qin Lun tried to focus his attention on the gray subsequent advancement professions, he finally made his choice.
Fighting mages were first excluded by Qin Lun. This combat profession mainly focused on melee combat. Even if it had an enhanced effect on some magic, it was equivalent to restarting the stove and crippling his current strongest long-range attack ability.
The subsequent advancement of a combat mage was indeed a mo martial artist. If martial skills were used as the main force and techniques as the auxiliary force, the sword xiu of the Eastern myth would appear in the final profession. If magic was the main force and martial skills were the auxiliary force, then the demigod’s combat profession in Western mythology would appear.
There were several branches of the Demon Hunter profession, including the Great Druid, the Alchemist, the Puppet Master, and so on. Their abilities were strange. The advantage was that it could deal with many complicated combat environments, basically belonging to the Myriad Oil category, but compared to other combat professions, it lacked powerful trump cards.
After careful consideration, Qin Lun also chose to give up. It was very difficult for someone like him to gain the trust of others. The Ten Thousand Gold Profession seemed to be all-encompassing. Without the help of others, it would be very difficult to lack a trump card in the later stages.
As for Beast King Hunters and Jungle Hunters, they were two similar combat professions. In terms of ranged attacks and melee combat abilities, they were not much different. However, the Beast King Hunters paid more attention to summoning creatures, while the Jungle Hunters tended to strengthen their survivability, possessing high evasion and certain camouflage abilities.
After becoming a Beast King Hunter, he would directly obtain a summoned cub from a different space-time. As a Jungle Hunter, he would randomly obtain a camouflage skill or a trap skill.
According to Qin Lun’s original plan, he should have chosen the Beast King Hunter. Because with the current attention paid to him by the Broken Star System, he was likely to obtain a high-quality summoned cub. Once this summoned creature grew, it would be equivalent to having a powerful helper who would never betray him.
However, Qin Lun could only choose the jungle hunter because Joey didn’t agree to choose the Beast King Hunter.
Joey’s fighting profession was actually a combat mage. The Decomposer yearned for the sword xiu profession in Eastern mythology. Even in the western Demigod Battle Profession, he could accept that he didn’t want to be a Beast King Hunter hiding behind the summoned creature.
In the end, after a willpower contest, the two finally chose the jungle hunter as a compromise profession. In fact, even though the jungle hunter was currently focused on long-range attacks, supplemented by trap mechanisms and melee combat, at the end of the day, he would become a combat profession that was extremely powerful in melee combat and long-range attacks-the Demon Hunter.
In the description of the Demon Hunter, an apostle must possess two mixed bloodlines, the Elven bloodline and the Demon bloodline. Although the restrictions on mixing the two bloodlines were extremely strict and the price paid was unimaginable, it was not an unreachable goal in the Horn of the Abyss.
One had to know that this apostle city had both the Abyss Devils and the Moonlight Fairies as its rulers. Qin Lun had good relations with Berylseth of the Abyss Devils and Malfoy Moria of the Elves.
Qin Lun sighed, even though he couldn’t get the Beast King Hunter profession he wanted. However, after becoming a jungle hunter, he could also obtain a trap skill or camouflage skill. It was not entirely unacceptable that his survival rate had greatly increased.
Thinking of this, Qin Lun remembered something else. Ever since his Maya Summoning Technique had acquired the [Summoning Stack] skill, he seemed to have been missing two summoning spots.
Qin Lun intended to keep one of these summoning seats for Frank. After finding a suitable body, he would transfer Frank’s soul from the Maya Crystal. Although this was only an idea for the time being, he had to have a trusted assistant when the Killer Demon Team took shape.
Although Frank’s soul had been brought into the shattered starry sky by Maya’s crystal ball, the chances of him becoming an apostle were extremely low. He could only resurrect it by summoning it. Perhaps this would require Kieran to pay a certain price.
As for the other summoner … Qin Lun touched his chin. It seemed that he should talk to Berylseth again. The elves were unlikely to agree to let an elf be his summoner, while ordinary plants and animals were of little help to the apostles. Only the Abyss Devils had powerful creatures with low intelligence but high combat strength.
After thinking about the plans for summoning creatures, Qin Lun finally refocused his attention on his combat profession. After choosing the jungle hunter as his future career path, he began to seriously inquire about the conditions of employment for the jungle hunter.
To become a jungle hunter, the apostle had to first reach the second level, which he had already achieved. The jungle hunter needed to possess intermediate ranged attack skills and basic melee fighting skills. He had intermediate firearms proficiency and basic swordsmanship, so he could also meet the requirements.
As for the five apostle skills related to the jungle hunter’s combat profession, due to his Moon Night Elf bloodline, he was reduced to four. Among them, the Wind Drift Technique met the requirements of the Forest Hunter’s movement technique, the Maize Summoning Technique and the Eye of the Clock met the requirements of the Battle Auxiliary Technique, and the Fighting Spear Technique met the requirements of the Attack Technique.
To Qin Lun’s surprise, the Weakness Predictor and Spiral Shooting that he had created using the combat model were also considered secondary skills. Although he didn’t have any professional requirements, he was still recognized by the Laws of Fragmentation. Obviously, after the Laws Body formed a muscular memory, these two skills would also become the Jungle Hunter’s profession skills.
As a result, there was only one condition that prevented Qin Lun from becoming a Jungle Hunter, and that was the inaugural mission.
Currently, Qin Lun’s four career paths (Demon Hunter, Combat Mage, Jungle Hunter, and Beast King Hunter) all had inaugural missions. Among them, the Demon Hunter only lacked one skill, and the Combat Mage lacked two.
Qin Lun could accept these four inaugural missions at the same time. However, if he did not take up his post in the end, he would not be rewarded with a mission. This was probably the standard given to all the apostles by the Broken Star System, allowing them more time to think and avoid regrets after taking up combat professions during their inaugural assignments.
Although the apostles could still be changed after taking up a combat profession, the apostles’ own skills needed to be recombined. This was clearly a price that no apostle could afford.
[Apostle 70053, you have received the Jungle Hunter’s inaugural mission: The Hunter’s Adulthood Ceremony. Mission objective: Capture or kill an Intermediate Tier 5 creature independently, regardless of creature type (excluding the Apostle), time and space, free to hunt in another world or shattered starry sky.]
He was actually able to directly take up his post in the Broken Star System! After Qin Lun saw the mission clearly, his eyes lit up. Although the mission objective required independent capture and hunting, since it could be carried out in the Broken Star System, it would be possible to obtain biological information from the apostle cities and choose a suitable target for hunting.
“Apostle 70053, the Jungle Hunter’s inaugural rewards include the following:
1. A jungle hunter can gain an all-round upgrade of his Laws Body;
2. After completing the inaugural mission, he will be automatically given a vocational skill (camouflage skill or trap skill);
3. The apostle’s current dagger, sword, crossbow, and firearm skills will be improved to a certain degree;
4. An apostle can use the ‘Adult Gift’ obtained from an inaugural mission to refine a long-range offensive weapon, which has a certain chance of improving the quality of the weapon or improving the power of the skill (Life Slaughter is not within the range of improvement).
5. The apostle’s current Movement Evasion skill will receive a Law boost. If the apostle does not have a Movement Evasion skill for the time being, the Law of Fragmentation will randomly reward a Movement Evasion skill. ”
After reading the inaugural reward, Qin Lun stretched his waist and a burst of hunger came from his stomach. The body of Laws also consumed energy, and eating was still essential.
Qin Lun walked out of the room and just as he entered the living room, Didi stood up from the sofa in surprise.
“Master, you’ve come out. There are a few messages on the caller!”
