Hidden Occupation: Ten Thousand Stars Hunter
“Ahem, Uncle Mo, please have a seat...”
Zhu Xi quickly led Mo Ren to a seat.
He shouted outside,
“How rude! Uncle Mo is here and you don’t even know to bring good tea!”
Immediately, a fox-clan maid entered, carrying a tea set.
Mo Ren had originally intended to buy his items at a clear price and then leave.
Now, realizing that Zhu Xi had other intentions, he was no longer in a hurry.
“Uncle Mo, I’ve already sent my son to the treasure vault to retrieve that class change scroll. Could you tell me about that Hunter?”
Mo Ren didn’t beat around the bush.
The New World offered many benefits.
The biggest benefit was that there were almost no limits to one's strength progression.
Or rather… it could raise a person’s limit by one or two tiers.
For example, even with a purple talent, Mo Xuan’s strength had been stuck at Tier 8, Second Advancement for many years.
Yet, Mo Ren himself could achieve hero status.
Why? Because he was a first-generation player.
As cultivators, the Tian Yao Clan also had great advantages.
For instance, before reaching Tier 5 and transforming into human form without cultivation techniques, they always had the opportunity to form contracts with players as beasts.
Signing a contract with a New World player… of course, referring to the top-tier players, was a very advantageous thing!
Take advancement, for example.
In the New World, one could always find ways to improve their talent.
When the game system receded,
talent would transform into one's innate aptitude level.
In the Tian Yao Realm, aptitude was innate.
But in the New World… Mo Song’s aptitude could be improved just like that!
Furthermore, the height Yang Jian could reach would directly determine Mo Song’s lower limit.
Before Level 100, let alone Mo Song, even Little Sea Turtle could reach Level 100 by following along… Yang Jian could directly pull Mo Song to a high position.
The Second Advancement bottleneck that had troubled Mo Xuan for many years would be nothing in front of Mo Song.
Once Yang Jian reached Level 100, Mo Song could follow along to Level 100… With so many benefits, wouldn't the second generation of the Tian Yao Realm know how to operate?
Of course not!
Or rather, they had tried, but it wasn't worth the effort!
First, if they couldn't pick the right person and find those few individuals who could reach the pinnacle among the vast crowd,
because most ordinary players would be stuck at Level 60 and unable to move,
then their descendant’s potential would also be capped!
Secondly, even if someone like Yang Jian showed a dominating aura early on… they still had to be a Hunter, a Nature Summoner, or another profession that could contract beasts!
Even if you knew a great warrior would become a War God in the future, what did that have to do with you?
There was also the New World’s protection by the rules.
Powerful individuals crossing realms faced significant restrictions.
Except for special travelers like Nat Pagle, or those with a devil-may-care attitude like Old Ma,
most were unwilling to travel across realms to the New World!
Too many restrictions, and there was even the risk of capsizing in a gutter.
After all, the New World also had Abyssal Clan… And what about sending the juniors directly?
Hehe!
Understand the Boss template?
If Yang Jian hadn't been able to contract pets across levels back then,
even if he could see Mo Song’s stats, he wouldn't have held back… Now, Mo Song’s fur would probably have become Yang Jian’s prized collection, and his flesh and blood would have been refreshed along with Butcher Parker.
But now it was different; a super newcomer who could contract pets had delivered himself to their doorstep… Zhu Xi listened to Mo Ren’s explanation.
He had a preliminary understanding of Yang Jian’s situation.
“You said his name is Tianmu Zhenjun? Isn’t that title too grand? Can he handle it?”
“salvation” was, after all, related to gods, and sometimes titles also concerned one’s fortune.
Mo Ren got angry when this was mentioned.
“A grander title is better! Your father could become a demigod back then, perhaps he benefited from his title…”
Just thinking about it made him angry; that little Pandaren dared to call himself Grandfather Giant Bamboo, and in the end, he really became an ancestor.
This title then transformed from his ID into his honorific.
Seeing Mo Ren’s deflated expression, he knew he was thinking of his own father.
Zhu Xi thought for a moment.
“Isn’t he free tonight? Go ask him if he wants to come to the Ten Thousand Bamboo Forest Sea to run a dungeon…”
All the grand talk was useless; he still needed to show some strength.
A Tier 3 realm, solo clearing a Level 30 dungeon shouldn't be difficult, right?
Coincidentally, as the overlord of the Ten Thousand Mountains,
the Pandaren clan had once collected many dungeons.
They were all at the Ten Thousand Bamboo Forest Sea dungeon cluster now!
“Run a dungeon?”
Mo Ren stroked his chin.
“He’s here to help my grandson advance. What kind of arrangement is it for me to send him to run a dungeon?”
Zhu Xi rolled his eyes.
“Take that hidden class change scroll…”
“It’s a deal. I’ll go sound him out!”
Mo Ren was about to get up and leave, then thought for a moment and asked,
“Which child are you planning to have follow him?”
Zhu Xi thought for a moment!
“Bamboo Leaf!”
“Bamboo Leaf? But he has purple talent… Such a good opportunity, aren’t you going to pick someone with a slightly worse talent?”
Zhu Xi rolled his eyes again!
No wonder the Howling Moon Wolf Clan was getting worse with each generation.
When did good talent become a drawback?
“Take the scroll and go now!”
Seeing that Zhu Xi didn’t want to talk more,
Mo Ren set off for Moon Wolf Valley.
After Mo Ren left,
two high-tier Pandaren walked in from behind the house.
“Father, are you just giving away this top-tier class scroll?”
“Can you change classes? If you can, I’ll go get it back right now…”
Panda A stopped talking, and Panda B spoke again.
“Father, are we really letting Bamboo Leaf sign a contract with that human?”
Zhu Xi looked up and glanced at the two of them.
“What’s the problem?”
“After all, it’s to be a pet for a Hunter class… And Bamboo Leaf is also the most talented of your seven grandsons!”
“Sigh! Purple talent… What’s the use? If he’s lucky, he’ll get stuck at Second Advancement; if he’s unlucky, he’ll get stuck at First Advancement; if he’s even unluckier, he might even die directly at the Abyss Gate…”
What Zhu Xi really wanted to say was that if Bamboo Leaf could ride the coattails and become a demigod, their lineage would become even stronger!
They would continue to hold power for thousands of years… Although Bamboo Leaf might not return to the Ten Thousand Mountains, the Ten Thousand Bamboo Forest Sea!
No need for him to return, as long as the influence was there… While driving away his two muddled sons,
Zhu Xi was also thinking about what good things to give the other party!
No matter the era, interpersonal relationships needed to be handled carefully.
As the patriarch of the largest clan in the Ten Thousand Mountains, he certainly possessed that much emotional intelligence… During the time Mo Ren was away,
Yang Jian immediately put down his bow and began trying to use his talent skill, Devour.
“What’s going on?”
Logically speaking, using the Devour skill should not be a problem for Yang Jian, who had pretty much figured out and mastered the Hunter skills!
Why was this happening?
This change to Devour Spirit Body wouldn't make him unable to devour equipment, would it?!
Yang Jian experimented with his talent skill for a long time but couldn’t devour the Level 30 purple equipment in his hand.
The current Tian Yao Realm was probably the future Blue Star!
This fundamental problem would need to be solved sooner or later.
It just so happened that he had nothing to do right now… As soon as he thought of having nothing to do, something came up!
Old Wolf Mo Ren appeared, smiling, in front of Yang Jian, who was sitting cross-legged.
Yang Jian’s pupils contracted.
He hadn’t noticed how this Old Wolf appeared at all… “Young friend! Look what good things I’ve brought you!”
Although the Old Wolf’s sudden appearance startled him,
Yang Jian clearly had no way to argue with him!
What could he do? He couldn't beat him!
“Oh, Senior Mo says they’re good things, so there’s definitely no question…”
Flattery always works.
Since the other party said he wanted to thank him, he certainly couldn't be too stingy.
“Hehe, these are all treasures preserved from back then. Now, in our hands, they’re just souvenirs!”
Now, Yang Jian was genuinely interested.
Who was Old Wolf?
According to Yang Jian’s current understanding of the world,
Hero-tier was the end point for absolute geniuses!
Those who could break through the term ‘hero’ and touch upon the divine were prodigies who led an era.
Just like the world Old Ma was in.
According to his account, the World Will incarnated as a Titan and achieved Middle God status.
The number of demigods and heroes in the entire world was also limited!
And in these vast Ten Thousand Mountains, among the three clans combined, there were only five who could reach Hero-tier!
Good things that could be preserved by them… Yang Jian had to admit, he was truly tempted!
Mo Ren no longer kept him in suspense.
First, he took out the first item!
After looking at it for a long time, there were no attribute displays… Mo Ren coughed awkwardly twice.
“Let me introduce it to you!”
“【Void Quiver (Orange)】
【100-slot container】
【Equipment Level: Level 50】
【Equip: Automatically creates one Void Arrow every ten seconds, which may carry one of three attributes: Ice, Fire, or Armor Penetration! (Until the Void Quiver is full)】
【Equip: Attack Speed +10】
【Equip: Physical attacks may trigger Void Power, increasing your Haste by 2400 points.】”
This… this was a divine artifact!
Aside from the high equipment level… there were no flaws!
Perhaps seeing Yang Jian’s thoughts, Mo Ren explained with a chuckle.
“Young friend, you don’t know! Regular orange equipment is at least Level 50! Orange equipment below Level 50 are supreme treasures! Our small Wolf Clan doesn’t have such good things, and I can’t offer purple equipment!”
“Hehe, Senior is too modest! I like it very much!”
Are you kidding? How could he not like it?
This could also be considered a Hunter’s supreme treasure!
Although Yang Jian really wanted to take the quiver now and put it into his spatial storage,
seeing that the Old Wolf didn't seem to be handing it over, he didn't want to be too proactive.
“This second piece of equipment, 【Dragon Rider Helmet (Orange)】, is a Level 60 set helmet. If you can collect a complete set of equipment, its attributes can rival gold equipment! Unfortunately, I only obtained this one piece in my youth!”
The item was indeed good!
Unfortunately, the equipment level was even higher!
By the time he reached Level 60, Yang Jian believed he would definitely not lack orange equipment… He liked the quiver because it was very rare.
Its drop rate was also very elusive.
Drops were already scarce, and an orange quiver would probably be hard to find in the future.
Moreover, it could even create arrows itself!
As for an orange helmet… he wouldn’t say every BOSS would drop one.
Ten BOSSes dropping three for him certainly wouldn’t be a problem!
But since it was a freebie, Yang Jian didn’t mind.
Normal gift-giving didn’t involve giving two items; there must be a finale item.
Yang Jian was now even more curious about this finale item!
“Finally… this is it!”
This time, without waiting for the other party to introduce it, Yang Jian opened his Heavenly Eye to observe first.
【Name: Class Change Scroll ‘Myriad Stars Hunter’】
【Description: Top-tier hidden class of the Hunter system, combining offense and defense, AoE, crowd control class, can contract all non-human races (including beasts, dragons, insects, etc.)】
【Note: A very powerful hidden class!】
Yang Jian was first surprised by this description, then he frowned.
Such a powerful class, you don’t use it yourselves… and leave it for me?
Fortunately, after taking out the scroll, the Old Wolf didn’t keep him waiting and immediately began to introduce it!
“This class change scroll can transform one into the strongest hidden class of the Hunter system, ‘Myriad Stars Hunter’!”
As he spoke, he glanced at Yang Jian, who was full of questions.
To be honest, if it were him, he wouldn't believe that such a good thing could fall from the sky.
“This class came at an inopportune time… We obtained it when the game system was almost completely uninstalled, by killing an Abyssal Lord at the Abyss Gate!”
“This class has very high requirements; one must complete the integration of inner and outer before Level 60 to change classes!”
“Wait a moment! I remember it was said that Abyssal Monsters don’t have drops?”
“That’s because there were no drops in the game world; all their essence was being eyed by both friend and foe! Not a single bit was wasted, so how could there be an opportunity for drops to form?!”
Yang Jian nodded!
So, when attacking the New World, it was a time when both sides were beyond reach?
“What’s the situation with the Abyss Gate?”
“It’s the bridgehead for the Abyss to invade worlds! The Abyss is endless; once the portal is opened, both sides will be entangled for life!”
At this point, Mo Ren sighed.
“Our Tian Yao Realm has a total of three Abyss Gates. Every ten years, a group of clansmen must be sent to guard them for ten years…”
“So, Abyssal Monsters aren’t a rare resource?”
Mo Ren was annoyed.
“If they were rare, how could they cause trouble in various planes?”
Yang Jian: ...
