Chapter 1 The Boy Who Ran Away from Home

  Jia Wen was overjoyed and hastily picked it up. After carefully examining its properties, he couldn't help but burst into a fit of mad laughter.

  Azure Sword: Attack Power: 165 - 312

  Attribute: Unknown!

  Additional Skills: Unknown!

  Kaito's beloved sword has been lost in the Hunting Dog Forest. Return it to Kaito and you will receive an unexpected reward.

  Quest item (Cannot be equipped!)

  Such attributes made Jia Wen involuntarily take a breath of cool air. This azure sword, even if its grade is lower, it's at least a gold-grade item. What a pity that it's a quest item, otherwise killing these 25-level hunting dogs would be effortless.

  Jia Wen let out a long sigh of turbid air and smiled miserably: "It's finally over, this task is not normal at all."

  It was this azure sword that wasted nearly a day and night of Jiawen's time, and even got stuck several times. Such a terrifying task, the next player to take on the role of Sword Guest will probably go crazy immediately.

  The task was accomplished with great merit, and Jia Wen's heart was naturally filled with joy. However, at this moment, he did not rush back to hand in the task, but instead slowly raised the rusty long sword in his hand, his eyes flashing with a puzzled gaze.

  What kind of weapon is this, that even when facing a 25-level monster, it has an attack power more terrifying than purple equipment. The appearance of this weapon almost made Jia Wen defeat monsters 10 levels higher than himself one by one, and it can be said to be invincible.

  But since it has such power, why is its appearance so tattered and worn out? Is this not the original form of this weapon? If so, how can we restore this weapon to its original form?

  After thinking for a long time, Jia Wen still couldn't get the hang of it. Now that he had all the task items in hand, the big stone in his heart finally fell to the ground. Taking a deep breath, he sat back down under the tree from earlier. After a whole day of struggling, he was really too tired, so tired that he almost collapsed...

  Unbeknownst to him, Jia Wen fell fast asleep under the tree. It wasn't until the morning dew dropped onto his face that he suddenly woke up from his dream...

  Opened blurry eyes, looked up at the sky, and it was already dawn in the game. A whole night had passed, which meant that more than four hours had passed in reality.

  Dragging his weary body slowly to his feet, Jiawen inadvertently looked around, at this moment the hunting dogs in the forest were still wandering around, seemingly ignoring him as if he was an unwelcome guest. Jiawen knew that for now, he couldn't shake off this place. After changing jobs, he would have to continue struggling here. Because the 30 hunting dog ribs that the pharmacy owner wanted had not been found yet...

  With a pleasant mood, Jia Wen hastily returned to the city. When he arrived at the job transfer hall, it was still filled with the endless noise of people. The other six major job transfer points were bustling with activity, but the Swordsman job transfer point was deserted and quiet.

  It seems that the sword guest's promotion to a professional task is unacceptable to all players. Therefore, this sword guest transfer point will be so quiet.

  Arriving at the sword guest's transfer point, under the strange gaze of the surrounding crowd. Jia Wen stared intently at Kashi, who was dozing off on the counter. Good guy, no business, this guy is enjoying his leisure time. Thinking about the sinister expression of that damned guy before, Jia Wen still hasn't dissipated his anger. An idea involuntarily rose from his mind.

  He immediately peeked at the khaki-clad man with a sly smile, his eyes suddenly widened and he slapped his palm on the counter, shouting: "You scoundrel, how dare you be derelict in your duty? Expelled, directly expelled!"

  "Ah... it's going to be a long time... I won't have another chance again. Uh..."

  Kaji, who was still dating Zhou Gong's daughter, suddenly sprang up like a cat whose tail had been stepped on and hastily closed his eyes to beg for mercy. But when he felt that something was not quite right, he discovered Jia Wen standing in front of him.

  Khaki's awkward appearance suddenly made all the players in the scene burst out laughing. Even if Khaki had a thick skin, he probably couldn't withstand such a blow.

  As expected, the unpredictable Kaci turned his head to look around. He glared at Jiawen with his cat-like eyes, emitting a terrifying glow from within, and if NPCs could attack players at will, he would have probably torn Jiawen into pieces long ago.

  "You cry out for help, but the end of the world hasn't arrived yet." Just as Kaji said this, his gaze suddenly shifted to the Azure Sword placed on the counter, and his body froze for a moment. Half a beat later, he suddenly let out a maniacal laugh like a pig being slaughtered.

  "Cerulean Sword, hahaha, my baby, you've finally returned to my side again, I'm so mad at you."

  Watching Kaci's performance, which was more exaggerated than that of a mental patient, Jia Wen's heart skipped a beat. After patting the counter for a long time, this madman finally came back to his senses from his frenzy.

  At this moment, Kaqi looked at Jiawen's eyes, filled with a hint of shock. Perhaps he was also thinking that such a difficult task, for a newcomer who had never transferred and was only level 15, was incredibly challenging. But the kid in front of him had completed it in just one day and night, which to him was not only surprising but also shocking...

  "Brave child, you have fulfilled my wish. Well done, you have passed my test. You are now a true swordsman."

  As soon as Card's voice fell, the system prompt followed.

  System Prompt: Congratulations, you have completed the Swordsman job change quest and found Khaos' lost sword. You have gained Khaos' recognition and become a true swordsman. For specific skills, please find Skill Master S to learn.

  System Prompt: Congratulations, player Fenghun, you have received Sword Guest Card's appreciation, increasing your friendship by 50 points...

  A string of system prompts suddenly appeared, leaving Jia Wen somewhat bewildered. The resentment he had originally felt towards Kazi was also swept away in the midst of these system prompts.

  "Kai Qi looked at Jia Wen, pondered for a moment, and said lightly: 'Child, you are the first person to pass my test, so you should get something better than others.'"

  Ding...

  System Prompt: You have received a high degree of attention, increasing your friendliness by 50 points. As the first player in this profession to successfully change jobs, you have obtained the unique skill book Flame Slash...

  Jia Wen suddenly felt a jolt, and upon hearing the system prompt, he hastily opened his skill bar. Right below the Strengthening Technique, a skill named Flame Slash flashed with waves of fiery red light, dazzling to behold.

  Flame Slash: Unique skill book for Swordsmen, each use increases physical attack power by 30% and deals destructive damage to the target with a 5% chance of stunning the target. Each use consumes MP: 100 points, cooldown time: 3 minutes.

  Looking at such a powerful skill, Jia Wen's heart was already turned upside down, and he couldn't express his joy. But things were far from over, as the system prompt sound had barely faded away when the voice of Zhuo Keji came again.

  "Kid, since you're the first player in this profession to change jobs, there's no need for you to go to Giles anymore. You have the right to get two common skills of this profession for free."

  As soon as this was said, Jiawen received a system prompt again.

  System Prompt: Congratulations, you have learned the free Sword Guest ordinary skill "Heavy Strike"

  System Prompt: Congratulations, you have obtained the free Sword Guest ordinary skill: Combo "Slash"

  Jiawen's eyes widened with excitement as he looked at the skill column again, and two major skills, "Heavy Blow" and "Combo", appeared simultaneously.

  Heavy Strike: Swordsmanship profession skill, using this skill can deal damage 5% higher than one's own attack power. Each use consumes 50 MP points and has a cooldown time of 30 seconds.

  Current level: 1

  Combo Strike: Sword Master Job Skill. Deals damage equal to 50% of own attack power, lasting for 5 seconds. Cooldown time is 30 seconds, consuming 50 MP each use.

  Current level: 1

  The two ordinary occupational skills obtained by the promoted sword guest also seem to be very powerful. However, Jiawen knew that as the first player to complete the sword guest task, he had the skill reward of Flame Slash. This is enough to illustrate the uniqueness of Flame Slash.

  So next, players who want to transfer to Sword Guest may have to work hard to complete the task and can only get

  Two ordinary skills, Heavy Strike and Combo Strike, were enough to satisfy him a little.

  Playing a game, you have to play it exceptionally well. Otherwise, always following the crowd and being inferior to others is a life of shame for Jia Wen. However, wanting to stand out also requires the ability to do so; otherwise, everything is just empty talk...

  Just as Jiawen was about to turn around and leave, a system prompt suddenly stopped him in his tracks...

  System Prompt: Player Fenghun, as you are the first player in this server to job change into a Swordsman, the system specially rewards you with 500 reputation and 50 gold coins.

  System Prompt: Player Fenghun, as you are the first player in this server to job change into a Swordsman, a system-wide announcement will be made next. Would you like to make your character's name public?

  "Confidential"

  Jia Wen made a decisive decision. In his view, since he decided to be a lone swordsman, everything was for the sake of making money and keeping a low profile, which was the primary goal. However, he didn't realize that a big tree would attract wind, and if things went wrong, it might bring unnecessary trouble, and it wouldn't be worth it.

  System Announcement: Player XX, as a player who has successfully changed to Swordsman, the system specially rewards 500 reputation and 50 gold coins. This is hereby announced...

  The moment the system announcement came out, almost all players in the entire Chaos let out a shout of surprise at the same time. Most people had a strong interest in this hidden-name swordsman who was ranked first, and they were eager to know who he was.

  After all, the idea that the Swordsman profession task has a high difficulty level has long been recognized by many players and has also been confirmed. However, the system announcement in front of us suddenly broke this insurmountable point of view, causing more than half of the players who had high hopes for the Swordsman to start trying...
