Chapter 41: The Most Mysterious Profession

"Captain, is the Sequence Class really that powerful?"

Lin Yi remembered that earlier, when Gu Chenghu introduced the four major classes, he seemed to hold the Sequence Class in very high regard.

Gu Chenghu replied, "Not only is it powerful, but it's also extremely rare. Do you know the origin of the four major classes?"

Lin Yi shook his head.

"Half a year ago, when you Descenders first appeared on this continent, the village chief sighed with emotion a few times, and I carved those words into my heart."

"He said: On this ancient land, there had been four previous instances of Descenders appearing, and afterwards, the four major classes came into being."

Hearing this, Lin Yi felt a jolt in his heart.

No wonder the people of Gutan Village were not the least bit unfamiliar with Descenders like them; it turned out that Descenders had existed long, long ago.

But what did Descenders have to do with the four major classes?

Could it be that every time Descenders appeared, a new class was added to the continent?

Not noticing Lin Yi's puzzled expression, Gu Chenghu continued explaining what he knew about the four major classes.

"On the Apocalypse Continent, the oldest class is the Warrior. This class is the most common, but its talent threshold is not high. As long as you have a fighting spirit and sufficient Vital Blood, you can class-change into a Warrior in front of the Martial Dao Monolith."

"Qingshan, your talent for blade techniques is truly astonishing. Actually, the Warrior class would be a great choice for you."

"The second class is the Divine Priest. As you can tell from the name, Divine Priests need to communicate with deities to gain power. Across the entire Apocalypse Continent, villages and cities possessing the heritage of the Divine Priest class are extremely rare, and coincidentally, our Gutan Village is one of them. As for the deity we enshrine in the village, I won't tell you, but if you're observant, you should be able to figure something out..."

After a brief pause, Gu Chenghu moved on to the Sorcerer class.

"I don't know much about the Sorcerer class; a small part of what I do know came from Elder Guyun. He said Sorcerers do not rely on external forces, but are a group of people who pursue truth and use knowledge to leverage the world."

"The most important thing for a Sorcerer is mental power. As long as your mental power far exceeds that of an ordinary person, you can expend certain resources to class-change into a Sorcerer after reaching level ten. If you are interested in Sorcerers, you can ask Elder Guyun when you return to the village someday."

"Finally, there is the most mysterious of the four major classes: the Sequence Class. This class appeared last on the Apocalypse Continent, and it is also the most mysterious and powerful class."

"Ancient records in the village state that if Divine Priests gain power through worshiping deities, then Sequencees walk the path of ascending to divinity, and it is the most direct path to becoming powerful..."

"However, Sequence classes are exceedingly rare. I've heard there is a limit to their numbers."

"So if you ever encounter a Sequence inheritance, you must not miss it. Seize the opportunity."

Lin Yi nodded. "Thank you, Captain. I understand."

Listening to Gu Chenghu's explanation, Lin Yi felt his understanding of the four major classes become much clearer.

Especially regarding the Sequence Class.

If the cave mentioned by Fourth Gu truly held a complete Sequence inheritance, then he certainly couldn't afford to miss this opportunity.

Lin Yi thought for a moment and asked, "Captain, should I still log in tonight?"

Gu Chenghu replied, "No need to rush. If Fourth Gu's mission goes smoothly, there might be news by the early hours of the morning. But if it doesn't go smoothly, I'm afraid the village chief won't let him out."

"How about this, Qingshan? Log in after midnight to check things out, and we'll make preparations then."

Lin Yi nodded in agreement. "Alright."

Seemingly recalling something, Gu Chenghu asked, "By the way, Qingshan, you mentioned today that you ran into trouble in your own world?"

"Yes, but it was just a minor issue."

Gu Chenghu cautioned, "Ah, as long as you can handle it yourself. Based on the Descenders I've encountered in the past, the order in your world is very good, and ordinary people can live in relative peace and contentment. However, with the emergence of extraordinary power, the original order will be shattered. You must keep this in mind and prepare early."

Lin Yi hadn't expected Gu Chenghu to have such deep insight, and the people of Gutan Village seemed to have a certain degree of understanding regarding their real world.

"Don't worry, Captain. I'm completely safe right now..."

Shortly after, Lin Yi logged off and left the game.

When Lin Yi returned to the real world, the sky outside the apartment had already grown dark.

At that moment, the sound of music drifted into Lin Yi's ears. It turned out to be Liu Yuxi from the next room playing music.

Lin Yi shook his head helplessly. The talent apartment he rented was great in every way, except for the terrible soundproofing.

Thinking about how easily the Black Card Alliance members had sneaked into his home today, Lin Yi felt it was time to consider moving.

Over the years, he had gradually accumulated four to fifty thousand yuan through his gold-farming studio, but last time, to kill the bull and max out his Blood Siphoning talent, he had slipped around two hundred thousand yuan to that slaughterhouse boss.

Although the remaining money wasn't enough to buy a house, renting an apartment in a community with a pleasant environment and complete security facilities was not a problem at all.

If he ever ran short of cash, Lin Yi could also exchange supplies from the Apocalypse world for RMB.

To be honest, any casual handful of supplies he pulled out right now could easily be exchanged for millions.

However, bank card transfers left a traceable trail, so unless he was desperately in need of money, Lin Yi would not expose his real-world identity in the game.

Moreover, before logging off, what Gu Chenghu had said to him lingered in Lin Yi's mind.

To the people of Earth, the Apocalypse world was not only a dangerous extraordinary world, but also a supreme opportunity.

As the number of activation codes increased, more and more people in reality would possess extraordinary abilities. One could easily imagine that the order of this world would be shattered one day and then reshuffled.

Right now, Lin Yi, like most people, was running at the very front.

Besides, Lin Yi possessed a red-tier talent; if he failed to make good use of this advantage, it really wouldn't make sense.

Due to having a late lunch, Lin Yi went for a brief workout in the evening before eating dinner.

However, because Lin Yi's current physical fitness far exceeded that of an ordinary person, he had to hold back his strength while working out, which felt extremely awkward.

Once he got a larger place in the future, he would definitely have to set up a dedicated martial arts and fitness space.

In the early hours of the morning, following Gu Chenghu's instructions, Lin Yi specifically logged in to take a look, but outside the Ancient Tomb Valley, there was no sign of Fourth Gu.

It seemed Fourth Gu's reinforcement plan had failed.

Lin Yi didn't mind. After exchanging a greeting with Gu Chenghu, he logged off and left.

Right at that moment, Lin Yi received a message from Liu Bo.

"Brother Yi? Are you asleep? If you aren't, come out with us brothers for some skewers. The trouble with the Black Card Alliance is over. Tonight, I even made a phone call with Zhaoyilong, the big boss of the Black Card Alliance, and he said he's good friends with my dad..."

Clearly, Liu Bo had run into something he couldn't quite figure out and wanted Lin Yi to help him analyze it.
