1: Starting profession with a million-fold increase

"Ancient Demonic Beasts have awakened, and humanity is already in dire straits, yet you're still thinking about internal strife! Even if I die, I won't make it easy for you!"

Xiao Xing's expression was furious, the energy within his body already surging to the critical point.

Boom!

A deafening roar echoed through his mind.

Xiao Xing snapped his eyes open and subconsciously sat up.

I'm not dead yet... Wasn't I surrounded by the Black Dragon Organization and then died in a self-explosion?

In his past life, Xiao Xing was a Heaven-Grade powerhouse.

He had gone to the sea to carry out a mission, but unexpectedly, he was besieged by dozens of experts from the Japan. In desperation, he chose to detonate his own body to take them down with him.

And now, he actually wasn't dead...!

Xiao Xing looked around at his surroundings.

What met his eyes was a familiar room... He quickly picked up the Mango phone by his pillow. The time displayed on it was: January 1st, 2993, 11:50 AM.

I've really been reborn, back to the day of the [Continent of Gods and Demons] open beta.

Today is exactly the day the [Continent of Gods and Demons] open beta begins.

As the latest virtual online game, its popularity surpassed all imagination.

Its maximum degree of virtualization reached 99.999%, far exceeding all contemporary virtual games.

However, only Xiao Xing knew that this was no ordinary virtual game.

Because the strength gained in the game would reflect back into reality. Although it was only about ten percent, it could still make a person extremely powerful.

A year later, due to the greenhouse effect, the polar glaciers of Blue Star would almost completely melt.

The rising sea levels caused many coastal cities to be submerged, drastically shrinking human living space.

But that wasn't the most urgent matter.

Blue Star had existed for billions of years, and no one knew how many civilizations had been born, including many ancient creatures.

It was because of the Ice Age that those ancient creatures had entered the depths of the sea to sleep.

Now that the glaciers were almost completely melted, not only were various viruses spreading, but even those sleeping creatures were waking up one after another.

After the game starts, the spiritual energy of the entire world will slowly recover.

While humans adapt to combat and grow stronger through the game, all creatures on Blue Star are also constantly growing stronger.

Humanity will step into a true war of eras.

No more thinking!

Xiao Xing put on the game helmet beside him and quickly entered the game... In his past life, he had also entered the game at this time, so the helmet was already prepared.

And his luck was quite good; he randomly rolled the Gale Swordsman class.

Relying on the characteristics of the class and his good reaction speed, he belonged to the mid-to-high-end player level in the game.

Ding ding ding!

"Welcome to the full-immersion virtual world [Continent of Gods and Demons]. Identity binding is about to begin."

"DNA binding successful..."

"Brainwave binding successful..."

"Retina binding successful..."

"Character generation complete. Current appearance deviation is 30%. Would you like to adjust it?"

Just after putting on the helmet, a series of electronic voices sounded, and Xiao Xing soon arrived in a spacious hall.

This was the place to create a character, and it wasn't unfamiliar to him at all.

"No!"

He didn't care about the appearance; the system's default 30% deviation was enough, as long as others couldn't see his real face.

"Appearance adjustment complete. Please name your character!"

"Jian Chen."

Holding a three-foot sword, only to cut through the red dust of the world.

Xiao Xing still chose his previous name.

"Character named successfully. Dear warrior Jian Chen, please choose your class!

The opportunity to choose a class is only once. It cannot be deleted or recreated. Please be cautious!!!"

The screen flashed, and seven major classes appeared in front of him: Warrior, Swordsman, Assassin, Mage, Summoner, Archer, and Priest.

Classes could be chosen manually, but if randomized, there was a small probability of obtaining a special class and a tiny probability of obtaining a hidden class.

But many people were unwilling to randomize because the randomized class might not be one they liked.

Over the past few decades, with the rapid development of technology, several virtual games had become popular globally, and many people had their own titles and exclusive classes.

A powerhouse known as a God of Magic in other games would basically be ruined if they randomized into a Warrior, with no chance to start over.

"Randomize!"

Xiao Xing had no worries; he knew he would randomize into the Gale Swordsman.

In the years of his past life, he understood the Swordsman best, so he naturally chose the Swordsman class he was skilled in.

Although the Gale Swordsman wasn't considered a hidden class, it was a special class, much stronger than a directly chosen ordinary Swordsman.

"Ding! You have randomized your class and obtained the special class [Gale Swordsman]."

Seeing this, Xiao Xing nodded in satisfaction; it was indeed the same as his past life.

With the special class he was skilled in, he believed that with the advantage of his past life's memories, he could definitely squeeze into the ranks of high-end players, or even the top tier.

"Ding! Your cheat has arrived and is being activated for you..."

"Ding! Golden Finger activation complete, please check it yourself..."

This is... ―_―//!

Xiao Xing hurriedly checked his attribute panel and indeed saw the Golden Finger.

Note: Can only be amplified once per day, please use cautiously... Seeing this, Xiao Xing took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down.

Although he knew a Golden Finger was standard for a reincarnator, he couldn't help but get excited when he actually got one.

The Golden Finger could only be used once a day, but it was undeniably incredibly powerful.

"Ding! Detected that the Golden Finger cooldown is over. You can amplify your class. Would you like to proceed?"

Just as Xiao Xing saw the Golden Finger, the system notification sounded directly.

The class was just obtained, so it could also be amplified.

"Amplify class."

Hearing the notification, he shouted impatiently.

Class grades are roughly divided into seven levels: D, C, B, A, S, SS, and SSS.

D is the most common class that everyone can get.

SSS is the highest grade class. In his past life, by the mid-to-late stages, very few people possessed one; they were extremely rare and powerful.

Legend had it that there were Supreme-grade classes beyond SSS, but those were just rumors on the internet in his past life; no one knew the specifics.

His Gale Swordsman was at the B-grade level. After a million-fold amplification, it wouldn't be lower than an S-grade hidden class at the very least.

This couldn't help but make one excited.

Hidden classes weren't easy to obtain; the probability of randomizing into one was only one in a hundred million.

Additionally, there was a chance to obtain one by completing high-difficulty hidden quests in the game.

On the Dragon Country rankings in his past life, the top ten were all hidden classes, showing the power of hidden classes.

While a hidden class wasn't necessarily the strongest, it was very difficult to suppress everyone without a powerful class.

Ding! You have used Million Times Amplification and obtained the Supreme-grade class [Aurora Sword Saint].

So awesome! Luckily the Golden Finger arrived in time, otherwise I would have missed out on hundreds of billions at least.

This is the unique Supreme-grade class for Swordsmen. After he obtained this class, other Swordsmen could at most get SSS-grade.

This is the power of a high-grade class; not only are the initial attributes enhanced to the extreme, but every skill is far more advanced than an ordinary class.

Moreover, this passive talent is extremely powerful. One could say this class focuses mainly on speed, without so many flashy tricks.

In the world of martial arts, nothing is indestructible, only speed is unbreakable.

With just the Aurora Sword Saint class, Xiao Xing has the confidence to enter the top ten of the Dragon Country rankings.

Now that he can use the Golden Finger every day, he is confident in crushing the experts of all countries, including the Japan, USA, and Russia.

Then he will withstand the final war of the era and revitalize my great Dragon Country.
