Chapter 59: Job Transfer

  "Sorry, Sly Warrior, I've made a fool of you!"

  After a long time, the blacksmith uncle wiped away his tears and said to Chu Rui with some embarrassment.

  Chu Rui smiled and shook his head.

  "This time, thank you, Cunning Warrior. Not only did you help Kris rest in peace, but also helped her avenge. I'm just a poor blacksmith, and I don't have much to give you. This is my ancestral craftsmanship, I hope the Cunning Warrior won't disdain it." The old blacksmith looked at Chu Rui with sincerity, and smiled foolishly.

  Chu Rui was just about to refuse, he helped the blacksmith uncle not for reward, but only because his inner self was moved by this great father. However, before he could speak, the system's prompt tone had already come over.

  "Ding, congratulations! You have received the follow-up reward for 'Lost Mine', learned Smithing, and obtained the blueprint for 'Iron Plate Bullet'!"

  "Ding, congratulations! You've received the blacksmith's generous guidance. Your forging skills have been upgraded to intermediate!"

  Two system beeps suddenly stunned Chu Rui.

  Smithing: Life Skill, Intermediate, 0/50,000, able to craft metal goods such as weapons and armor!

  I didn't expect that the blacksmith's reward would directly upgrade my smithing skills to intermediate level. This small upgrade is something that would normally require a huge amount of money and effort to achieve. And on top of that, there's also the powerful iron sheet blueprint. A 3x3 range dealing 200 damage, this thing is just too awesome! If materials and success rate permit, it can literally be used to kill a BOSS in one hit!

  After thanking the blacksmith, Chu Rui walked out of the blacksmith shop and headed towards the village entrance again. Next was to meet Ye Zifeng and others, then enter the city to change jobs.

  "This time, thank you all." Looking at the dozen or so people standing in front of him (Chu Rui and a few others, the rest were Ye Zifeng's subordinates)

  "Haha, Brother Gui Shou, it's you who should be thanking me. Look now, we're all fully armed." Ye Zifeng laughed heartily, pointing to the group of younger brothers behind him, each of whom had several pieces of equipment on their bodies.

  "Here, this is your vengeful spirit long sword." Chu Rui returned the long sword that Ye Zifeng had suddenly drawn out to him.

  "Did you pick it up for me? Great, this thing is still handy to wield." Ye Zifeng was overjoyed and took the Grievance Longsword, laughing with glee. Unfortunately, he had dropped a level after being hung once, and now only 9th-level players could wield it, so he could only look at it longingly.

  "And here are these, you guys exploded out." Chu Rui stuffed all the equipment he didn't need on his body to Ye Zifeng.

  "Sly brother, we don't have any valuable equipment like gold on us. This shield and this staff, I've never even seen them before." Taking over Chu Rui's things, Ye Zifeng naturally knew what was his and what wasn't. In the newbie village, it's basically impossible to have shields, staves, longbows and other equipment, so these things can only be explained as having been dropped by the Spider Queen.

  The dozen or so subordinates behind Ye Zi Feng are now stunned, and the equipment they are wearing is not top-notch, but among so many players, it's still considered good stuff. They were amazed that Ye Zi Feng was able to arm them all, and the only explanation was that money can make a ghost grind. But unexpectedly, this person in front of them was so awesome, not only did he pull out a pile of equipment, but there were also shields and staffs inside, fortunately they didn't know the quality of the equipment, otherwise those golden-grade equipment would have scared them to death, these kids who at most wore blue equipment.

  His eyes swept over the radiant smiling Yezi Feng, the poker-faced Sa Sa, the slyly smiling Tian Er, and the expressionless Xi Huo. These four people, no matter what, had once been his teammates. He nodded slightly, then turned around to start a conversation with the village chief.

  "Village head, take me to the city!"

  "Sly Hand Warrior, it's time for you to leave. Our small village is not a place where you can stay. Your stage is destined to be the vast continent. I, an old man, won't say much more. You will always be our village's warrior. If you're tired in the future, remember to come back and visit. Now that you're still young, you should go to the vast continent to strive and show off your brilliance... Go, seek out your own future, create your own legend!"

  The village chief smiled benevolently, with a faint white glow emanating from his hand, and a staff instantly enveloped Chu Rui.

  "He's gone!" Looking at the place where Chu Rui disappeared, Ye Zifeng muttered to himself, turned his head and looked at Sa Sa and others who were in a daze behind him, saying: "Let's go, we should also work hard now!"

  "Ding, congratulations on successfully arriving at Taga City!"

  A flash of white light passed by, and Chu Rui was transported to a small town.

  The building style of the Western Magic Kingdom era, but the inhabitants are yellow people, which looks and feels a bit awkward.

  Perhaps because it's close to the transmission array, next door is an ironwork shop, a pharmacy, a tailor's shop, and a general store, very convenient. For now, there's no need to add anything else, so I rushed into the general store, bought a map of this tower city and two return scrolls. Fortunately, Chu Rui killed the Spider Queen's oil and water, this TNND map is just one gold coin, it's really a rip-off!

  Once the map is integrated into the system, the terrain here is completely known in the brain.

  Walked west for about a minute, arrived at the transfer hall. Because it was chosen from the beginning of account creation, the subsequent upgrade followed the direction of that profession, so there were no bloody events such as job transfer instructors grabbing people like many online games.

  Thieves' Guild Hall stands at the edge, adjacent to the Summoners' Guild Hall, and on the other side are the Archers' and Clerics' Guild Halls. The three in the middle are the most popular Mages', Knights', and Warriors' Guild Halls.

  Looked up at the thief's job change hall with black as the main tone, it seems to have a "traveler walking in the dark" kind of thing.

  Although he hadn't been to other transfer halls, Chu Xue had a pretty good idea.

  Here

  There is no majestic knight job change hall, no brave warrior job change hall, no close-to-nature archer job change hall, no luxurious and magnificent mage job change hall, no bright and beautiful priest job change hall, and no harmonious summoner job change hall. This thief job change hall only has a dark atmosphere. There is neither the righteous and heroic knight nor the handsome and beautiful archer, mage, nor the lovely and cute summoned beasts, nor the pitiful and lovely priestesses. There is only an old man sitting in the darkness.

  "Brave young warrior, are you willing to walk in darkness from now on and spend your life with shadows as your companion?"
