Recruiting?

As Jiang Yan was leaving the starting village and heading towards the northern mining area, he could clearly feel that he was being followed.

"Get out here!" Jiang Yan stopped and turned around to look behind him.

"Hey kid, weren't you so arrogant just now?" A shifty-eyed player darted out, followed by two menacing-looking players.

All three were warriors, each wielding a goat-shaped knife, and they surrounded Jiang Yan with cold smiles.

"If you know what's good for you, hand over the 60 silver coins you just traded, or I'll kill you down to level 0!" the thieving, rat-eyed man sneered.

"You... are from the Prosperous Dynasty?" Jiang Yan realized instantly when he saw the goat-shaped knives in their hands.

"What prosperous dynasty? Don't talk nonsense!" The shifty-eyed man's expression changed.

"Who doesn't know that the Western Forest has been seized by the Prosperous Dynasty? You all have goat-slaughtering knives; dare you say it has nothing to do with the Prosperous Dynasty?" Jiang Yan sneered. "And over at the street stalls, the Prosperous Dynasty has rented all the stalls, openly driving down prices, and then using you to increase the risk of private transactions, all to achieve their goal of monopolizing equipment at low prices! Truly shameless!!"

"You brat, you'd better die!!" The shifty-eyed man was furious that his carefully planned scheme with the small merchants had been seen through so easily. He immediately led two teammates to charge at Jiang Yan.

"Slash!!" *3

The three thieves with shifty eyes unleashed their attacks like crescent moons across the sky, cleanly and swiftly striking Jiang Yan.

-17

-18

-18

Three glaring damage numbers floated above Jiang Yan's head.

[Ding~ You have been attacked by a golden rat. You can now defend yourself.]

[Ding~ You have been attacked by a green-haired rat. You can now defend yourself.]

[Ding~ You have been attacked by a white-haired rat. You can now defend yourself.]

Upon hearing the system notification, Jiang Yan smirked coldly: "That's it?"

Lightning Bolt!

After chanting for 1 second, a huge bolt of lightning crashed down, slamming into the golden rat's head with a bang.

-908

A crimson critical strike damage indicator leaped from the golden-haired rat's head, and he vanished in a flash of white light.

ding~~

The goat knife in the golden-haired rat's hand was also thrown out by Jiang Yan and fell to the ground.

Jiang Yan quickly grabbed it and put it into his backpack.

"You..." The green-haired mouse and the white-haired mouse were shocked upon seeing this.

Firstly, because the eldest brother was instantly killed, and secondly, because the opponent used lightning magic!!

Before a mage in the starting village can change jobs, they can only use the basic spell: Fireball!

But this guy actually used lightning magic!

Is this guy a rare profession, or a hidden profession?!

The two were so frightened that they retreated repeatedly.

Seeing that they were terrified, Jiang Yan didn't bother to say anything more. After the cooldown ended, he used a lightning spell on each of them to send them back to the newbie village resurrection point.

……

New player village respawn point.

[You have been killed by Jiang Ziya in self-defense, losing experience points for your current level and dropping the Goat Knife]

The golden-haired mouse stared blankly at the system notification sound.

His two companions, after being resurrected, had the exact same expression.

"How much damage did you take?" After a while, the golden-haired rat finally came to its senses and asked in a fright.

"More than nine hundred," the green-haired mouse replied, trembling.

"Me too." The white-haired mouse also felt a chill run down its spine.

"This guy called Jiang Taigong must be a hidden class, otherwise why is his damage so terrifying?" The golden-haired rat was about to have a mental breakdown.

They hit each other three times, dealing a total of 53 damage!

The enemy deals an average of 900+ damage to them!

Are they playing the same game?

The golden-haired rat, trembling with fear, reported the information to the prosperous small merchant.

Upon receiving the intelligence, the small-time merchant in Shengshi did not dare to be careless and quickly reported it to his superior, Shengshi Wudu.

Shengshi Wudu was stunned when he received the intelligence.

"What's wrong?" Young Master Sheng Shi noticed the unusual behavior of his subordinate.

"Young Master Wang..." Sheng Shi Wudu didn't know whether he should tell him this information, because it was really outrageous.

Could this be a pretext made up by someone who couldn't find anyone?

"Have you discovered a leveling spot in the Heart of Darkness?" Young Master Shengshi's face darkened.

"No, it wasn't him, it was the player who sold the +3 Tiger Blade." Shengshi Wudu said somewhat guiltily, "My men followed him to the North District, were discovered on the way, and were instantly killed after a fight."

"Instant kill?" Young Master Wang raised an eyebrow.

"The opponent's ID is Jiang Taigong, and he uses lightning magic. One lightning bolt deals over 900 damage. He is probably a hidden class." Shengshi Wudu swallowed hard.

"Are you kidding me?!" The young master of the Shengshi Kingdom roared, his face twitching. "The server's only been open for less than four hours, where did this hidden class come from?! And 900+ damage? Do you think I'm an idiot?!"

Sheng Shi Wudu said with a bitter face, "Young Master Wang, that's how my men reported it."

"Young Master Wang, don't be angry yet. I think this might be true." Shengshi Fasheng spoke up: "Remember the two pieces of equipment he sold? One was the [Wild Boar Armguard], and the other was the [Tiger Blade]. You can tell from the names that they were dropped by wild boars and tigers. At this stage, being able to solo wild boars and tigers... this Jiang Taigong might really be a hidden master!"

"Hidden profession..." Young Master Shengshi's expression gradually became distorted, a complex mix of emotions including greed, jealousy, anger, and resentment.

"Young Master Wang, I think if we can win him over, we might be able to try and take down the Wild Boar King," Sheng Shi Xiao Jian said.

"Win him over? Who does he think he is? A mere hidden class, does he think he's worthy of my humble efforts to win him over?!" The young master of the prosperous era's face twisted in rage. After a long pause, he ordered, "Anyone of you can contact him and tell him I'm willing to take him as a follower. If he follows me, I'll let him go. Otherwise, there will be no place for him in newbie village number 142857!!"

……

When Jiang Yan arrived at the North District mine, he suddenly received a friend request.

The applicant's name is Shengshi Wudu.

Needless to say, they must be from the prosperous dynasty.

What kind of trouble is this...? Jiang Yan approved the application.

Soon, a message came from the other side: "Brother, I'm from Prosperous Dynasty! I'm very sorry for the unpleasantness before. Our guild is currently recruiting heroes. Brother, you must be a hidden class, right? Really, if you come to Prosperous Dynasty, I guarantee you'll have a bright future!"

The attitude was acceptable, but not great either.

In gaming forums, all the major guilds openly advertise their hiring prices, but you don't mention any compensation and expect them to work themselves to the bone?

Do you know the value of hidden professions?

Jiang Yan replied, "Sorry, not interested."

"Brother, think it over again. Our Prosperous Dynasty is really sincere!" Shengshi Wudu didn't want to give up so easily.

But Jiang Yan did not reply.

Wild Boar Forest in the West District.

While cooperating with Shengshi Wangshao and the others to hunt wild boars, Shengshi Wudu kept sending messages to Jiang Yan, but unfortunately, they all went unanswered!

Looking at Sheng Shi Wudu's increasingly conflicted expression, the young master of the Shengshi Kingdom asked with a mixture of anger and cold laughter, "That Jiang Taigong, he refused?"

Shengshi Wudu sighed, "Yes, he didn't agree."

"Good, very good! Hahahaha, a hidden profession, really thinking he's a big shot!!" Young Master Shengshi wouldn't tolerate this kind of person: "Issue a kill order immediately, kill him until he deletes his account!!"
