CHAPTER 28: CHAPTER 28, BRO IS ALREADY LEVEL 20, JEALOUS HUH_1

To put it plainly, the Divine Envoy is equivalent to an NPC in a game, except this NPC is an intelligent member of the Human Race.

In Different Worlds, a Divine Envoy holds authority comparable to a Sect Hierarch on Blue Star, possessing absolute power that no one dares to dispute or slander.

The Divine Envoy’s status is transcendent. However, they do not intervene in any affairs, including assisting members of the Human Race with class transfers. Divine Envoys also do not establish guilds, existing independently of them.

Murong Yi said, "Don’t worry. When you meet the Divine Envoy, just say a few flattering words, and you’ll receive a simple quest. It’ll be very easy to succeed in your class transfer."

"The greater the quest’s difficulty, the higher the reward will also be."

Jiang Chen asked in confusion, "There are rewards too?"

"Of course, there are rewards, and they differ for each difficulty level. For example, a simple quest gives 10 points to each of the Four Dimensions, a dangerous-level quest rewards 20 points, difficult is 30, nightmare is 40, and Hell Level is 50 points."

"It’s not a single reward. Rather, Constitution, Strength, Spirit, and Agility each receive a 50-point reward."

Jiang Chen was quite shocked.

A 50-point reward in each category means 200 points in total! No wonder those who have completed their First-stage class are so powerful.

Jiang Chen smiled. He would definitely challenge the Hell-level difficulty.

After the First-stage class transfer, he would inevitably become much stronger.

"What difficulty level did you challenge back then?"

"The difficult level. Once a quest is accepted, it cannot be changed. Many people want to challenge the Hell Level because the rewards are generous. However, many get stuck at their First-stage class. They hope for high returns, but some die, and others remain unable to complete their class transfer for their entire lives."

"Moreover, the class transfer quest must be completed independently, without relying on teammates. It’s a trial for a true Hero."

Jiang Chen nodded. He understood that.

No wonder some people grow stronger and stronger. When they undergo their class transfer, they must be challenging the Hell-level difficulty. What did 200 points to the Four Dimensions signify? It was equivalent to the Attribute boost from a Diamond-grade Suit!

The innkeeper chuckled, "I forgot to tell you, Human Swordsmen only have the nightmare and Hell-level difficulty options."

Jiang Chen looked utterly astonished.

"Why is that? And you? Have you completed your class transfer?"

The innkeeper smiled. "No."

Jiang Chen had a sudden realization. If one chose to be a Human Swordsman, there were only two difficulty levels. No wonder there were so few Human Swordsmen; many probably got stuck at this point.

Jiang Chen sipped his wine, savoring its bloody taste.

Will I have to become a Swordsman Beast in the future?

To hell with the Swordsman Beast...

...

「Inside the hotel.」

Murong Xue was reviewing information about the Underworld Altar. The strategy guide for the Underworld Altar detailed killing six mini-bosses to acquire keys, then defeating the Underworld King.

CREAK...

Murong Yi entered the room. "Still looking at the information?"

"Mhm."

"I ran into your classmate today."

"Oh? Who was it?"

"Jiang Chen."

Murong Xue turned to look at Murong Yi, recalling that Jiang Chen was training here. "He’s quite bold, daring to come here for training alone."

"I originally wanted him to enter the Underworld Altar with you."

Murong Xue nodded. "The Underworld Altar is a good place for leveling. If he came with me, he could also get a good amount of experience."

Murong Xue knew Jiang Chen was a Swordsman with an Occupational Rating: D-level.

That has to be the worst of all the Combat Classes.

Murong Yi chuckled. "Turns out, he hasn’t agreed yet."

"Is that so!"

"Do you know why he didn’t agree?"

"Perhaps he didn’t want to drag us down!"

Murong Yi scoffed, "Drag you down? Do you even know what Level he is?"

"What Level?"

"Level 20. He can’t enter the Underworld Altar."

Murong Xue stood up, too shocked to speak. "How is that possible? How could a mere Swordsman reach Level 20 so quickly?"

Murong Xue couldn’t believe he had reached Level 20.

He’s just a Swordsman, a D-level Swordsman at that!

Even with Support from others, it’s impossible to level up that quickly!

Murong Xue herself was only Level 14, and she had only reached that with the Support of powerful individuals. There was a significant gap between her and Jiang Chen.

"I’m not sure about that. Perhaps he has a hidden class. When it’s time for your trial, it would be best for you to be in a group with Jiang Chen. I’ll talk to him; he should agree."

Murong Xue was stunned speechless for a long moment.

Level 20?

How did he manage that?

Murong Xue shook her head. "No need. I can reach Level 20 by myself."

"Of course you can. But don’t forget, the assessment is in just one day. After tomorrow, all students in Xihai City will be evaluated. How will you achieve good results then? You’ll be facing the SS-grade Dragon Knight Li Yunxi, the SS-grade Angel Shangguan Yunqiu, and eight S-grade Masters. Teaming up with Jiang Chen at least gives you a chance to score well, or at least not fall behind them."

Murong Xue remained silent.

Murong Yi was right. Although Murong Xue had a hidden class, Light Archer, she might not be a match for S-grade Classes, let alone SS-grade Classes like Angel or Dragon Knight.

Murong Xue suddenly thought about trailing behind a D-level Swordsman... This...

That would be too humiliating.

Murong Xue scoffed internally. She had originally thought she would never have any significant interaction with Jiang Chen. Even if they met, they would be like strangers. She was an A-grade hidden class, lofty and superior.

But reality had slapped her hard in the face.

He was the one who was truly lofty and superior.

Murong Yi smiled. "Just team up with him for the assessment. Don’t get too involved with him. That kid is no good; I’m afraid you’ll be deceived by him."

Hey! Make it clear, what do you mean I’m no good...?

...

「Inside the hotel.」

KNOCK, KNOCK, KNOCK...

Jiang Chen opened the door. Wang Gang stood outside, decked out in Armor and holding a giant sword. Jiang Chen couldn’t help but laugh at the sight.

"Jiang Chen, I’m here! Let me give you a big hug!"

Jiang Chen aimed a kick at him. "Get lost."

"Heh heh... Your bro here has brought you something good. Call me ’Grandpa,’ and I’ll give it to you," Wang Gang said, taking something out with a smug look on his face.

"What good thing?"

"Equipment, of course! Bronze Equipment. Awesome, huh?"

What the heck?

Bronze Equipment counts as good stuff?

Have you never seen real equipment before, or what?

Jiang Chen said, "My apologies, but I don’t need trash."

"Damn it! If you’ve got the guts, show me your Badge! Then we’ll see if you still call what I’m giving you trash," Wang Gang retorted, exasperated.

I came all this way for training and even brought him equipment, and he’s not only ungrateful but calls it trash!

"I’m afraid I’ll scare you to death."

"Oh, come on. Is it because your Level is low and you’re decked out in trash equipment? Don’t worry, your bro here won’t look down on you."

Jiang Chen asked, "What Level are you?"

Wang Gang displayed his Badge.

[Name: Wang Gang]

[Class: Paladin]

[Level: 14]

Wang Gang smiled proudly. "How about that? Your bro is now Level 14! Awesome, right? And this set of Bronze Battle Armor has greatly increased my defense and Offensive Power. Aren’t you super envious?"

Wang Gang showed off his Set’s Attributes, displaying the color of his equipment—a crimson Set that looked particularly impressive.

Jiang Chen just smiled faintly.

That’s it?

Seriously, that’s it?

Jiang Chen coughed. "I’d better not show you mine. I’m afraid of crushing your spirit."

"Tch! Afraid I’ll laugh at you? Come on, we’re buddies!"

Jiang Chen looked resigned. Alright, if you insist. I might as well let you see what real Levels and real equipment look like.

Jiang Chen didn’t hide his Attributes or equipment.

Wang Gang stared at Jiang Chen’s Level, and his jaw dropped!

What the hell?!

Level 20?!

He’s already Level 20! And the color of this equipment... why is it so dazzling? Is it trying to blind me?!

Holy crap! That’s Underworld Equipment! And it has Set Attributes!

Are these Set Attributes so overpowered?!

And this Weapon! It’s actually a Silver-grade Weapon! Are its Attribute boosts really that insane?!

Wang Gang rubbed his eyes. He definitely wasn’t seeing things.
