Super Righteous Player-Chapter 177 - 175: Gemstone Island Guardian Knight_1

Annan took advantage of the backstage still being open and casually flipped through the child god’s panel.

What he found, to his utmost confusion, was that the child god had somehow advanced into the wrong profession.

Moreover, it seemed to be a rather high-level profession at a glance, so much so that his previous skills had all changed:

Jungle Walker LV11: [Elven Swordsmanship (Jungle) Lv4, Precise Parry LV2, Rock Strike Technique LV2, Water Strike Technique LV2, Vine Strike Technique LV2]

[Elven Swordsmanship (Jungle) LV4: Harness the balanced power of all things; you tend to gain insights in the jungle. You can control natural objects around you to a certain extent by planting your curses. Requires three skill points to level up once.]

[At LV4: Your other skills increase to LV2]

[Precise Parry LV2: You possess better parrying abilities than an ordinary swordsman.]

[Rock Strike Technique LV2: Swing your sword at rocks to split them open or cause them to rise.]

[Water Strike Technique LV2: Swing your sword at water to part it or freeze it.]

[Vine Strike Technique LV2: Swing your sword in the jungle to disperse or summon vines.]

—Are you Qiana?

Are the four of you almost ready to form a match?

"...How did you do that?"

Annan was full of questions.

He hadn’t seen the wandering child do anything just now.

If it was about lying in the bushes... Annan felt that the previous person must have also met this condition.

The wandering child was also confused: "I don’t know..."

?

I don’t know either?

"...Well, if I have to say..."

The wandering child hesitated: "I actually reserved some strength, originally planning to use it after leveling up..."

After repeated questioning by Annan and scouring the forums, he finally vaguely understood what had happened.

And he roughly guessed the conditions for advancing into this profession.

That child god was really a master of evenly distributing points...

He sure could endure.

Because this guy, had secretly saved some points without adding them.

Players start at LV5, with all attributes being strength 6, agility 6, constitution 6, perception 5, willpower 5, and 2 free attribute points. Each of the four skills had one level, leaving one skill point empty.

—And the child had never used these two points, preferring to hoard them. He planned to add them when he needed to level up.

When he first arrived at the internal test, he was unharmed because he was lucky, not encountering anyone.

But after seeing a few other people gaining special effects at skill levels LV4 and LV7, he felt regrets.

So, with a touch of OCD, when he reached LV7, he brought the "Ordinary Swordsmanship," "Parry," "Charge," and "Full Force Strike" skills all up to two levels, and saved the rest of the skill points.

The goal was to add those two points directly to the advanced profession after leveling up—this way, he could learn higher-level skills at the fastest speed. There were some other players who did the same.

Anyway, their main upgrade path at the moment was through nightmares... Temporarily adding points wouldn’t lead to a noticeable increase in ability.

It was better to save up points and use them after evolving.

When he leveled up to 10, his attributes were strength 8, agility 8, constitution 7, perception 7, willpower 5. At this point, he used an attribute point to bring his constitution up to 8—for the looks.

Because the child also knew that once he emerged from this instance, his perception attribute would happily increase by one.

Four eights, how aesthetically pleasing!

If it was three eights and one nine, it wouldn’t have looked as nice...

That is to say, after he emerged from the instance.

He would have four main skills at LV2 and four main attributes at eight points each.

This method of evenly adding points seemed to have triggered some mechanism, giving him the [Elven Swordsmanship] ability.

...So that’s how it is.

Precise Parry corresponds with agility, Rock Strike Technique with strength, Water Strike Technique with perception, Vine Strike Technique with constitution?

"Child, you are truly lucky..."

Annan couldn’t help but sigh.

You might as well change your name to Lucky Child.

This guy is simply a mascot.

At the very beginning, although he didn’t add attribute points, he met no enemies and completed the initial task with full health.

Then, while wandering around Roth Fort, he somehow stumbled upon the well-hidden Gerald.

Afterward, had Gerald not reacted quickly, the wandering child might have smacked him in the face with a blast from a cannon the moment the door was opened.

Now, because of OCD, he left an attribute point but unexpectedly triggered the conditions for a new class change...

...This guy is an omen of good fortune.

And this provides the players with a new path of advancement.

Although this batch of players might not be able to use it anymore... fortunately, the next batch coming in will still have a chance.

"...Um."

Yi Yi raised her hand timidly, "It seems I’ve advanced incorrectly as well...

"But this profession seems pretty strong...?"

Annan was taken aback.

What’s going on with all of you?

Why does each of you have an issue...

...Could it be that I’m the problem?

Annan flipped through the information and found Yi Yi’s case to be even more complex than the child’s.

Because her new class was actually a well-established profession:

Gemstone Island Guard Knight LV11: [Guardsman Swordsmanship LV4, Parry LV4, Charge LV1, Disarm LV1, Full Force Defense LV1, Proficient in Clubs LV1]

Yes, Gemstone Island.

The very Gemstone Island that Joseph is from...

Her previous [Basic Attack] had turned into the [Guardsman Swordsmanship] that Annan was very familiar with; whereas her previous [Full Force Strike] had become [Disarm], a skill Annan once had but never used.

And the two new skills she had gained also felt quite odd:

[Full Force Defense LV1: Gemstone Island Guard Knights are adept at light-armored parry. When wearing light or lower level armor, parry efficiency is increased; efficiency is further enhanced when wielding weapons with both hands.]

[Proficient in Clubs LV1: You can use staves or double-bladed swords to utilize the swordsmanship skills you possess.]

—I get it now.

At last, Annan understood completely. freewёbnoνel.com

Although some advancement conditions must be fulfilled in nightmares,

the Curse Bindings obtained in the advancement instance greatly influence the professions they obtain!

Annan immediately felt a rush of relief.

It’s a good thing I advanced as a Wizard’s Apprentice...

Wizard’s Apprentice has only one kind of advancement at the bronze stage, which is the corresponding "Wizard".

Otherwise, if Annan had advanced into a Swordsman class...

Who knows what weird profession he would have obtained after receiving the Curse Binding of the "Butcher’s Blade."

—Would he really have turned into a butcher?

That would be truly absurd...

"Two successfully advanced, and two others advanced incorrectly but ended up getting stronger..."

Annan sighed, "This outcome doesn’t look too bad.

"But this is enough to prove that my participation has a huge impact on your advancement. Therefore, I will not be involved in your future advancements. Moreover, this nightmare is about to be purified, so you might not encounter this type of cooperative nightmare again anytime soon."

Upon hearing Annan’s words, the comment section erupted in wails:

"—I thought I could be steadily carried through an instance!

"—Aaaaah, I want to switch to Qiana too!"

"—I want to become a Berserker..."

"—Berserkers should be fine, right?"

"—Hey, in front, do you also want to stab yourself?"

"—And leave a certain pattern on your stomach?"

"—Stretch marks?"

"—God damn stretch marks!"

"—If he dares to let me advance, I dare to leave a curse pattern on my stomach."

"—Then I hope to give you a phoenix. There’s a saying, a hundred birds facing the phoenix..."

Watching the chat rapidly derail as usual, Annan let out a sigh of relief.

Four Transcendents with somewhat decent professions... Finally, they seem to be coming along.

Although their equipment was still the pitiful set of plain gear, they now had some combat capability... or rather, some cannon fodder who could fight.

In two days at least, it wouldn’t just be Annan and Salvatore showing up.

Salvatore has one more day before he comes out of seclusion.

In this day, Annan needs to focus on his own affairs.

He needs to enter the "Traitor" nightmare once again.

Using the password obtained from Benjamin... to inquire about information regarding Tan Juan and find out what exactly happened to Michelangelo in the end.

And also, to find out if he knows anything about the corruption spouse.

—Yes.

At the reminder of the Skeleton Lord, Annan perused the research report about the corruption spouse and obtained some information.

Such as the true name of the corruption spouse, his origin...

—And the ritual that could "eradicate the reincarnators."
