Chapter Sixty: Job Transfer Mission

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

  A low and solemn voice echoed in the empty hall, stirring up layers of reverberations.

  "Unwilling!" Chu Rui furrowed his brow and replied in a deep voice.

  "Then go!" The voice seemed somewhat taken aback by Chu Rui's response, let out a small sigh and said: "You're not suited for being a thief."

  "Heh, is that so? But I think I'm quite suitable myself." Chu Rui shrugged and didn't leave, instead walking towards the person in the shadows.

  "There is no determination to immerse oneself in darkness, no awareness of walking in the dark. It's impossible to become a great thief without those qualities. You're the first person to come seeking a transfer, showing much potential. I don't want you to choose the wrong path." The voice echoed once more.

  "Is it possible to become an excellent thief? This is a future matter, how can you be certain? The conditions you mentioned are suitable for assassins, not thieves. Is it too harsh to restrict me, who can only become a thief, with the conditions of an assassin?" Chu Rui smiled faintly and walked to the table, finally seeing the face of the owner of the voice. An old man with a weathered face, but with a calm demeanor.

  "Interesting!" The thief master, who was slightly intrigued by Chu Rui's words, looked at him with interest and said: "Why are you so certain that you will become an excellent thief? Why are you so obsessed with thievery?"

  "The road is to be walked by oneself, and the future is to be created by one's own efforts. As for what I will become in the future, I don't know either." Chu Rui smiled faintly and said: "As for why I'm so obsessed with it. Because, although I don't particularly like this profession, it has already entered my life and can never be shaken off. Moreover, it is the most representative of my profession."

  "Is that so? Looks like you have a lot of stories to tell!" Looking at Chu Xue's expression, as an NB person, he could naturally sense the divine light and overflowing special aura of a killer in his eyes. The scouting action when he entered the door earlier, his gaze, and demeanor had completely exposed his profession. At first glance, Chu Xue seemed very ordinary, really ordinary (to this thief mentor). The more ordinary a person is, the more they can hide. Such people are the best candidates for being thieves or good people.

  "Not bad!" the thief master said with a faint smile.

  "I think so too." Chu Rui's mouth curled up slightly.

  "Quite an arrogant attitude!" The thief master's mouth twitched slightly as he looked at Chu Rui's confident face and said, "Since you're so insistent, I'll give you a chance. You think you're excellent, so now I'll give you a transfer task. If you can complete it, then I'll agree to let you transfer. And if your completion is of high quality, there will be extra rewards."

  "Job transfer task?" Chu Rui was slightly stunned, this damn 10-level job transfer actually had a task? What the hell, is there something wrong with it, not to mention promotion and transfer!

  "Players who come to transfer, each will have a transfer task. This is random. However, for you, the first one to transfer, I'll give you an exception. To become a thief who can survive in the dark, you must possess qualities that other professions don't have or are even stronger. Talent is important, but certain human qualities and attributes are more important than that. Since you think you can be an excellent thief, let me see if you qualify... ...Now go to the Dog Head People's territory west of Taga City and bring back the weapon carried by the leader of the Dog Head People. Remember, you're a thief!"

  "Ding, congratulations, you have triggered a hidden task: Steal the Soldier's Gun!"

  Mission Name: Steal the Soldier's Gun!

  Difficulty level: Advanced!

  Mission content: Go to the Dog Head People's territory in the west of Taga City and steal the leader's weapon!

  Mission Reward: Successfully change jobs and receive a special reward from the Thief Mentor!

  "Ding! Congratulations, you have received the guidance of the Thief Mentor and learned Stealth, Pounce, Bone Carve, Backstab, and Kick!"

  I saw that the skill bar had added 5 new skills, Chu Rui was overjoyed to the point of tears. Finally, he finally had the basic skills of a thief. No longer would he have to sneak around with a weak body like a knight or warrior: Active Skill, Level 0/1000, consumes 30 MP, puts oneself into stealth mode, has a certain chance of being detected, speed decreases by 80% when entering this state, lasts for 30 seconds, and is immediately revealed when attacked or attacking others, cooldown time 3 minutes!

  Strike: Active skill, Level 0/2000, consumes 20 MP. Can only be used when the enemy is facing you. Strikes the front of the enemy, dealing 120% damage and has a chance to stun the enemy for 1 second! Cooldown time 1 minute!

  Bone Piercer: Active skill, Level 0/2000, consumes 20 MP. Stab the dagger into the enemy's body for a powerful attack, dealing 150% damage and has a certain chance to cause bleeding damage! Cooldown time is 1 minute!

  Backstab: Active skill, Level 0/2000, Consumes 20 MP, Deals 130% damage to the enemy from behind and stuns for 1-3 seconds. Cooldown time is 90 seconds!

  Kick: Active skill, Level 0/2000, Consumes 20 MP, Gathers power to deliver a deep kick to the enemy, dealing 80% strength damage with a certain chance to interrupt spellcasting. Cooldown time: 1 minute!

  Charge into the fray, use Pingfa to fight for your life. With skilled thieves, that's the real deal. The technical flow of rotation is enough to directly control the fragile skin to death.

  "These skills are basic, first imparted to you. If you successfully complete the task, then after formal conversion, they belong to you. If you fail, they will be taken back. Since you think you can become an excellent thief, use these skills to help you complete the task. Remind you again - you are a thief!"

  The thief master said something faintly and then waved his hand at Chu Xue, indicating that he could leave.

  As he walked out of the Thieves' Guild, Chu Rui took a glance at the extremely desolate Taga City, quickly replenished his supplies, and then headed towards the Dog Head Tribe's territory in the west.

  Although he was the first to leave the novice village, it was just their novice village after all. Throughout Huaxia, there were almost a million novice villages, and who knows how many geniuses like him were hidden among them? No one could guarantee that he was the first. Although I don't know if being the first to change jobs has any special rewards, but being the first to go change jobs isn't bad either. Even if there aren't any special rewards, exceeding the thief mentor's task also has a special reward, right?
