Chapter 175: Treasure Diamond Island Guard Knight

Annan took advantage of the fact that the backend interface was still readily accessible and swapped to the Child God panel.
As a result, he was also bamboozled that Child God advanced to the wrong profession.
Moreover, it seemed to be an advanced profession. It even altered most of Child God’s skills:
Forest Walker LV11: [Elven Swordsmanship (Forest) LV4, Precision Block LV2, Geo Strike LV2, Hydro Strike LV2, Vine Strike LV2]
[Elven Swordsmanship (Jungle) LV4: The power that controls the balance of everything. You tend to get enlightenment in the jungle. You can control the natural objects around you to a certain extent by planting your curse in them. It takes 3 skill points to improve the skill by 1 level.]
[Effect after acquiring LV4: Your remaining skills are increased to LV2.]
[Precise Block LV2: You have better blocking proficiency than an ordinary swordsman.]
[Geo Strike LV2: By swinging a sword to the rock, you may cut the rock or make the rock bulge.]
[Hydro Strike LV2: By swinging a sword to the water surface, you may cut the water surface or freeze the water surface.]
[Vine Attack LV2: By swinging a sword to the jungle, you may dispel or summon vines.]
—Are you Kiana [1]?
I think the four of you can make up a balanced party for matchmaking.
“How did you do it?” Annan had question marks all over his head.
He didn’t see what Wandering Child had just done.
If the condition was lying in the grass, Annan thought that everyone before him should also meet this condition.
Wandering Child was also at a loss, “I don’t know.”
?
I don’t know either.
“Well, I think the only explanation is…” Wandering Child said hesitantly, “I actually saved up some of my strength for the preparation after the advancement.”
Annan asked repeatedly and scrolled through the forum. In the end, he had a rough idea of what was going on and roughly guessed the advancement conditions of this profession.
Child God was a master in spreading out his attribute points.
Moreover, this guy was really patient because he had secretly saved some attribute points and didn’t add them.
The player’s initial level was LV5 with all attributes as follows: Strength 6, Agility 6, Constitution 6, Perception 5, Will 5, and 2 free attribute points to add as they pleased. Each of the four skills was LV 1 with 1 additional free skill point.
—Child had not used these attribute points and skill points but habitually hoarded them. He planned to add it when needed.
Because when the closed beta started, Child had great luck without encountering anyone. So, he was unhurt.
But, Child noticed from several other players that there were additional effects when they pushed the skill levels to LV4 and LV7. He felt regretful.
So under his obsessive-compulsive disorder tendency, when he was in LV7, he pushed “Swordsmanship,” “Parry,” “Charge,” and “All-out Blow” to LV2. For the remaining skill points he had, he had saved them up.
His goal was to contribute these two skills points directly to the advanced profession after the advancement. With that, he could learn advanced abilities as quickly as possible. There were also some other players doing this.
Anyway, their main path to grow now was via nightmare. Spending up those points wouldn’t bring a significant advantage.
It was better to save some points and use them after advancement.
When Child was promoted to LV10, his attributes were Strength 8, Agility 8, Constitution 7, Perception 7, Will 5. At this time, he spent 1 attribute point in the Constitution to become 8—just so that it was pleasing to the eyes.
The child also knew that after clearing the dungeon, the Perception attribute would be increased by 1.
In the end, it looked much better with four 8s!
If there were three 8s and one 9, it wouldn’t look so good.
In other words, after he came out of the dungeon instance, he had four main skills at LV2 and four main attributes of 8 points.
This pattern in distributing everything equally seemed to have triggered some mechanism that allowed Child to obtain the [Elven Swordsmanship] ability.
I see.
Precision Block corresponded to Agility; Geo Strike corresponded to Strength; Hydro Strike corresponded to Perception; Vine Strike corresponded to Constitution.
“Child, you are really lucky…” Annan couldn’t help but lament.
You might as well change your name to Lucky Child.
This guy is simply a mascot.
In the beginning, although he didn’t invest any attribute points, he did not encounter any enemies and completed the initial mission with full Health.
Then, while wandering around to explore Roseburg, he inexplicably discovered Gerald, who was hiding so well.
If it weren’t for Gerald, who reacted fast enough, Wandering Child would have slammed the Black Fire barrel on him as soon as he opened the door.
Now, Child accidentally triggered the conditions for a new profession because of his obsessive-compulsive disorder tendency.
This guy is auspicious.
With that, the players learned a new way to advance.
Although this batch of players might no longer duplicate it, the next batch of players still had a chance.
“…En.”
Yiyi raised her hand timidly, “I seem to have advanced wrongly too.
“But this profession seems to be quite strong?” Annan was startled.
What the hell is wrong with you all?
Why are there problems coming out one by one?
Am I the problem?
Annan rolled his eyes and found that Yiyi’s situation seemed more complicated than Child’s.
Because she actually had a profession with a mature combat system:
Treasure Diamond Island Guard Knight LV11: [Bodyguard Swordsmanship LV4, Parry LV4, Charge LV1, Disarm LV1, Full Defense LV1, Club Proficiency LV1]
Indeed, Treasure Diamond Island.
It was the Treasure Diamond Island where Joseph was born.
Her previous [Basic Attack] became the [Bodyguard Swordsmanship] Annan was very familiar with; her previous [All-out Blow] became the [Disarm] that Annan had but never used.
The two new skills she got were also quite strange:
[Full Defense LV1: Treasure Diamond Island guard knights are good at blocking in light armor. When wearing light armor and lower-level armor, Parry’s efficiency is improved; when holding weapons with both hands, Parry’s efficiency is further improved.]
[Club Proficiency LV1: You can use existing skills with clubs or double-headed swords.]
I got it now. Annan completely understood this time.
Some advancement conditions depended on the achievements completed in the nightmare.
But, the curse obtained in the advancement dungeon instance would also significantly affect the advanced profession they would get!
Annan recalled something that brought him lingering fear for a while.
Fortunately, what I advanced was the wizard apprentice profession…
The wizard apprentice has only one type of advancement in the Bronze Rank, “wizard.”
Otherwise, if Annan advanced his swordsman profession, he would advance into a strange profession as he got the curse of “Butcher’s Knife.”
—Will I really become a butcher?
That’s terrifying.
“Two successful advancements according to the plan. Although two advancements stray away from the plan, they became stronger.”
Annan sighed, “This result looks okay.
“But this is enough to prove that my participation will bring a great impact on your advancement. Hence, I will not participate in your advancements anymore. This nightmare is about to be purified. You may not be able to encounter a coop nightmare like this in a short while.”
Hearing Annan’s words, there were bitter cries in the bullet text:
“—I thought someone would carry me in a dungeon instance!
“—Ah~, I want to become Kiana too!”
“—I want to become a Berserker.”
“—I don’t think becoming a Berserker will pose a challenge.”
“—Oh, you like to stab yourself too.”
“—Then, also leave those marks on the stomach?”
“—Stretch marks?”
“—Fuck off!“
“—If he dares to let me advance, I dare to leave a curse mark on my stomach.”
“—Then I hope you will give birth to a phoenix. You know, phoenix stands atop all birds.”
(TN: Phoenix is a Chinese expression of fraternal twin.)
Annan breathed a sigh of relief as those comments in the bullet texts ran off the topic quickly.
I have finally fed these Four Transcendents up.
Although their equipment is poor, I manage to get some urgent fighting forces…or rather, got some cannon fodder.
After at least two days, it wouldn’t just be Salvatore and me only.
Salvatore had one more day to go for this tinkering.
During this day, Annan was busy with his affairs.
He planned to challenge the “Betrayer” nightmare again.
Using the code he got from Benjamin, Annan planned to ask Benjamin for information about Don Juan and ask Benjamin what happened to Michelangelo in the end.
Also, Annan wanted to know information about Rotten Man.
—Indeed.
With the Venerated Skeleton’s reminder, Annan flipped through the research report on Rotten Man and got some information.
For example, Rotten Man’s real name and Rotten Man’s origin.
—There was also the ritual that could “eradicate the reincarnated.”
