1: Chapter 1 Hidden Professional Babysitter

[Brain... you know...]

[Would you like to top up 1 yuan to draw for a hidden class?]

"Damn, scammers? Didn't they say this game has no top-up channels?"

One hour ago.

Jiang He was squatting in his rental apartment, his vision going black from hunger.

Graduated from college, immediately unemployed.

He and his good friend Zhao Yun had rented this twenty-square-meter room outside the eighth ring of the Magic City.

When they were in school, they were gaming buddies who swore to gallop across the battlefield together.

Their wish came true; they were now grinding in games together to barely make a living.

Not long ago, an online game called [Immortal Domain] announced it would officially launch today at exactly 12:00.

The official team had released many world-shaking news reports.

Legend had it that during the closed beta, it was completed by a person in a vegetative state who had been asleep for ten years.

She had actually met her relatives again in the game world.

This game used brain neural connections to the virtual network to provide the gaming experience.

The officials guaranteed that the virtual world was 99% similar to reality.

Appearance, touch, pain, and even overexertion would make one feel tired.

Of course, Jiang He didn't care about any of that.

He only saw one piece of news: the game planners solemnly promised that the game had no top-up channels whatsoever.

All gold coins, materials, and equipment were obtained by killing monsters in the game.

Of course, to create commercial value for more people.

The game allowed trading between players.

And it provided a safe and reliable platform with no transaction fees.

As veteran grinding players.

Jiang He and Zhao Yun had eaten instant noodles for a month.

They had just enough to buy two cheap game helmets.

And so, Zhao Yun had gone to line up early in the morning.

Just as Jiang He was about to collapse between starving and staying conscious.

The door to the rental apartment was kicked open.

"Da He, I got the stuff."

"Quick, quick, put it on me," Jiang He said weakly.

He just wanted to enter the game as soon as possible, even if it was just to drop a few gold coins.

At least he could trade them for a meal first.

After buying this helmet, he only had six yuan and twenty cents left in his card.

The two of them moved deftly and put on the helmets according to the game instructions.

A system voice sounded.

Retinal scanning...

Neural connection successful...

Identity confirmed: Jiang He

ID number: 23...0219

Age: 23

Nationality: Xia Kingdom

All information bound successfully.

A sensation of weightlessness washed over him.

Jiang He felt his brain spin for a moment.

Opening his eyes again, he had arrived in a void space.

[Welcome to the Immortal Domain world, please choose your class]

Classes are divided into four categories: Warrior, Mage, Knight, Priest.

Jiang He analyzed them one by one.

He absolutely couldn't play a Warrior; although they had high attack, they were very pay-to-win.

Mage wouldn't work either; they were glass cannons, and if they got close, they would definitely die.

Knight was relatively better; they didn't have high equipment requirements, had high defense and health, and it was easy to find people to group with.

Priest, hmm?

Anyway, not even a dog would play that...

No damage, no defense, low health, no advantages other than healing.

After analyzing, Jiang He decided to main a Knight.

"I want to choose Knight..."

[Ding, would you like to top up 1 yuan to draw for a hidden class?]

"Damn? What's going on?"

"Top up 1 yuan? And a hidden class?"

Jiang He was stunned, and the next second he wanted to cry.

Sure enough, you'd rather believe in ghosts than believe the words of a game planner.

They kept saying there were no top-up channels?

Then what was this in front of him?

Once this game opened top-up channels, it meant that game coins, equipment, and materials could devalue without limit.

[Would you like to top up 1 yuan to draw for a hidden class? Confirmation countdown: 10 seconds.]

10, 9, 8...

"Top up, top up, top up..." Jiang He gritted his teeth and shouted.

It was too late to regret it now.

Cheap helmets are non-refundable once sold.

Might as well spend one yuan to draw a hidden class; what if it's super overpowered?

[Top-up successful]

[Starting random draw]

[Ding, drew mutant Priest class]

[Holy Spirit Priest]

[Please enter your game name]

"F*ck you..."

After all that, you give me a Priest?

What's the use of being a mutant?

Isn't it still just a Nanny that only knows how to heal?

No... it's a Nanny.

It's over; at this moment, he felt his gaming career was about to end.

[Please enter your game nickname; if not entered within 10 seconds, the system will automatically generate a name]

"Game ID"

[Input successful... Loading game, please wait.]

This ID was his exclusive nickname from his years of hanging around online games.

It was a homophone for his own name and was easy to remember.

[Tip: Your appearance in the game is 80% similar to your real-life appearance]

[Tip: The gaming experience is 99% similar to reality; if you feel physically unwell in the game, please log off immediately]

A white light flashed before his eyes.

Jiang He landed in a plaza.

[Welcome, player Game ID, to Novice Village No. 8063]

The surroundings were bustling with noise.

"Anyone looking to team up? 2 Warriors, 1 Mage, 1 Priest, need a Knight."

"Cute girl looking for a carry, handsome brothers, look over here."

Jiang He scanned the area, withdrew his gaze, and opened his attribute panel:

ID: Game ID

Class: Holy Spirit Priest

Level: 1

Health: 100

Energy: 100

Strength: 20

Defense: 10

Spirit: 10

Agility: 10

Skills: None

Talent: None

Sure enough, super garbage among garbage.

He opened his backpack again.

Wooden stick, cloth clothes, Skill Scroll * 1, Talent Scroll * 1

Skill: Blood Speech Technique (Switchable status: Heal/Attack, No CD, healing and attack will increase with level and equipment attributes)

Talent: 1% Energy recovery per second

Jiang He couldn't recover for a long time.

"This is a Priest?"

He had played dozens of games and had never seen a Nanny with attack skills?

However, this skill actually looked quite awesome.

Crushed the scroll to obtain skill: Blood Speech Technique

Crushed the scroll to obtain talent...

[Ding, would you like to top up 1 yuan to increase talent level?]

Jiang He had already started cursing.

Has this damn planner gone crazy for money?

Where is there no top-up channel?

They've practically shoved the word top-up onto your eyes, fearing you wouldn't see it.

Forget it, he was already playing.

"Top up"

Jiang He knew he was going to get sucked in.

He had seen these tactics many times; they were all about guiding you step-by-step to keep spending.

At first, it's 1 yuan, 10 yuan, and later it becomes hundreds or thousands.

But he wasn't afraid.

After all, he was really poor.

[Talent upgrade successful: 100% energy recovery per second]

"What?"

Jiang He was shocked.

What does 100% mean?

Infinite energy?

Combined with his no-CD skill?

"Oh my... am I taking off?"

Excited for three seconds, he laughed at himself.

What is there to be happy about?

Everyone can top up; he's not the only one who's awesome.

Put on the cloth clothes and equipped the wooden stick.

Jiang He ran towards the outskirts of the city while shouting in the chat box.

"Quality Nanny, looking for a high-quality team..."

This message instantly drew Taunts from the comment section.

"Haha, hilarious, first time seeing a guy play a Priest?"

"Exactly, right? Who wants a guy for a Priest? There are tons of cute girls."

"Buddy, take my advice and delete your account."

After reading the chat, Jiang He walked out of the city with a dark face.

Whoosh, a Holy Light shot out.

[Ding, would you like to top up 1 yuan to improve monster quality?]

"Damn, again?"
