Chapter 230: Chapter 228 Pale Princess_1

"...So it’s a Decree Wizard, huh."

Annas murmured, somewhat delighted.

Up until now, there had been no Decree Wizards on his side. The emergence of Longjing Tea was undoubtedly a kind of supplement.

He wasn’t sure when it began... It might have been when Annan saw the essence of his own soul in the magic mirror, or possibly the first time he injected the Philosopher’s Stone.

——It could even have been the moment Annan learned the specific information about these professions.

In any case, it was only when Annan was preparing to recruit new players that he realized his backend privileges had suddenly risen a notch.

First off, he could now offer many more initial occupations.

In the beginning, the only class he could provide to the players was the basic class of "Swordsman," and the list of players’ skills was also very limited.

But now, not only had the range of available classes for Annan increased, but the abilities players could choose from had also become much richer.

Take the "Swordsman" class as an example.

When Old Goose and the others entered the game, there were only four skills: Basic Swordsmanship, Parry, Charge, and Full Force Strike. Even Annan could not unlock more for them.

Now, in addition to these four default skills, the previously greyed-out Military Swordsmanship system was selectable—a system that included Steady Gait and Do-Or-Die Effort.

Beyond that, there was also Guardsman Swordsmanship that Annan had previously possessed. It lacked Charge and Full Force Strike, replaced by Disarm and Cross-Weapon Mastery.

Now, players could even choose to start as a wizard’s apprentice!

For the players, this was essentially an unconditional promotion to bronze — since the wizard’s apprentice had only one direction for advancement, "Wizard," which required no conditions to progress.

And the Wizard class itself was quite strong; it was a very desirable occupation.

At one point, Annan even worried about what would happen if all the players chose to be wizard’s apprentices...

It’s not that it was bad—on the contrary, having more magical professions at the beginning could solve problems more comprehensively.

But Annan preferred them to have more front-liners...

We’re really lacking T here!

Apart from Argang, no one else could T!

"Indeed, it’s a noble blue class..."

Annan couldn’t help but complain.

He had done nothing else these past two days but read and memorize the various spells that the wizard apprentices could master—just like before Lin Yiyi and the others advanced, Annan’s backend didn’t have the capabilities for their advanced professions. He could only read the spells available to wizard apprentices.

Presumably, once the players advanced to bronze, Annan would be able to see the spells at the bronze level.

He had hesitated over whether to give the players the freedom to choose from the eight schools of magic or to randomly roll an initial spell for them.

Besides, now the players could even choose the "Cleric" occupation.

But the problem was—Annan gradually realized that if one chose the "Cleric" class, they couldn’t designate their faith to be "Silver Baron." It was a random roll for a faith.

And it wasn’t just a random selection from the list of True Gods; it even included False Gods.

Annan quickly understood that this was intended to consider the synchrony rate between the player and the divine.

Rather than being completely random, it was more of a psychological test or personality analysis mechanism...

So Annan hesitated for a moment, then simply made the entire branch system for all classes into a talent test.

If players had undergone military training, they would automatically acquire "Guardsman Swordsmanship" instead of "Basic Swordsmanship" when choosing the Swordsman class; similarly, if players were familiar with the use of batons, shields, and other equipment, they would automatically acquire "Guardsman Swordsmanship."

If they chose the Wizard profession, they would first be sent spells from the three schools of magic they were most adept in—Annan had specifically tweaked the rules a little. If they were not suitable for a certain school, he would weaken its spells slightly; if they were particularly well-suited to a school, they could even receive the most difficult spell model from the apprentice stage right away.

He decisively used the differences in strength to hint to players which profession and which school was the most suitable for them.

——There is no strong or weak, only suitable or unsuitable.

This was also the reason Annan continued to prohibit players from casually taking up multiple classes.

Certain classes may be very useful at some stages, but after leaving the character creation stage, they would not have such a good opportunity to test their class suitability anymore.

If they made the wrong choice, they could always pick up a second class—if they were indeed especially suited to another profession, Annan could easily find a chance to give them a more difficult mission, then provide a multi-class slot without penalty, letting them have a new secondary profession.

Among this batch of players who initially started as swordsmen, there were those like Lin Yiyi and Delicious Wind Goose who were particularly well-suited, and certainly, some who were not.

If they were made to stick with it to the end, it would certainly be unfair to those players who had no choice in the matter.

Although the number of players completely unsuitable for the Swordsman class might only be dozens or even just a few, their opinions and feelings were just as important.

Thus, Annan came up with a new plan—he could start an event and find an excuse for the players who truly needed a class change to switch professions.

"This time I fall asleep, I should be entering the nightmare..."

Annan murmured.

The "Influence of the Throat of Death" he was under was already in the final countdown.

To this day, Annan had not yet found a way to remove the influence from himself.

But he wasn’t really afraid—on the contrary, he felt excited and curious, like a player eager to tackle a limited-time collaborative event dungeon they saw in the game they were playing.

Before going to sleep, Annan took one last look at the backend.

Lin Yiyi and Delicious Wind Goose seemed to be still looking for people, while Jiu’er and the children she recruited had already created their characters...

"Longjing Tea, Decree Wizard... hm, airdrop him into the slums,"

Annan murmured as his fingers rapidly typed, crafting his newcomer’s story.

"And this one... hm, the name is Xitan Pulan? Twenty-eight years old... The character looks quite good. Beautification by 30%, not bad... At this age, could his real-life profession be a doctor?"

"...Huh? A cleric..."

Annan paused slightly when he saw her chosen profession.

"Her faith is... the Pale Princess?"

He had heard of this False God before.

The Pale Princess was a goddess of specters and souls. She appeared as a legless spirit, dressed in a white wedding gown, wearing a tiara, and holding her lover’s head in her arms.

She, along with the Skeletal Lord, were once part of an organization called the "Necro-Alliance" over two hundred years ago to oppose the Undertakers of the Church of the Burgeoning Flesh.

But that was about all Annan knew.

The books on Salvatore’s side had little to say about False Gods, not to mention the True Gods—incomplete understanding and not even a picture.

Annan became somewhat curious about this new False God.

Would the Skeletal Lord have more information about the Pale Princess?

Could he... summon her and squeeze some benefits out?
