Chapter 849: Chapter 846: "The Return of the Retired Deity to Their Hometown
[February 10th, 7:00]
"Ding ling ding ling——"
The multicolored roulette wheel spun before Su Ming’an’s eyes. He stared at the wheel intently until the pointer slowed down.
[SS-level Roulette: Equipment Zone (Probability: 70%), Props Zone (Probability: 15%), Skill Advancement Zone (Probability: 10%), Special Zone (Probability: 5%)]
As the pointer stopped, a system prompt sounded:
"Ding dong!"
[You have drawn the Special Zone (Probability: 5%)! Acquired Pet Egg*1!]
...
Su Ming’an stretched out his hands, and a white pet egg fell into his palms.
After completing the "Revival of All Things" mission in the Ninth World, he earned a draw from an SS-level roulette. He had a lucky white cat draw on his behalf, and it indeed landed in a low-probability area.
This pet egg currently didn’t reveal its quality, but anything coming from an SS-level roulette shouldn’t be a garbage pet.
[SS-level Pet Egg (Quality Unknown)
Description: It will automatically hatch in 3~8 days.]
...
He put away the pet egg and began to choose his second career.
He thought for a long time; he didn’t really need "Reconnaissance." Whether it was Purple Grade’s Weakness Insight or Death Rebound, they largely compensated for the information gap. "Reconnaissance" was useful but more of an embellishment.
If it were "Healing," and he could regrow severed limbs or quickly adjust his state, his actions would be much easier in many situations. Whether at the time when Lin Guang severed his limb or when low temperatures froze his right arm to the point of deficiency, it wouldn’t be so embarrassing. Perhaps saving Yuanyuan might not have required thirty-three loops.
If he could die one less time, his mental state would be better, like a Damocles’ sword hanging over his head.
...
[Please choose the development direction of your second career: Attack/Defense/Control/Healing/Reconnaissance/Summoning]
[Ruler’s Suggestion: Please try to choose a development direction for your second career that complements your first career; do not pursue a single-path development.]
...
"Healing," Su Ming’an said.
A soft pink light lifted in front of him, forming letters:
[You have chosen the "Healing" development direction.]
[A career is about to be drawn for you...]
Su Ming’an frowned slightly. Another draw... For someone like him with low luck points, many draws turned out unfavorably.
Suddenly, as if responding to his thoughts, a line of blood-red text emerged:
...
[Detected identity as "Ruler." You have the right to choose your career, no need to draw.]
...
Su Ming’an felt a little more at ease.
...This unfortunate identity has dug so many holes, finally offering some sweetness.
"Is there a career that can heal mental states?" Su Ming’an asked.
A small line of text appeared:
[No.]
Su Ming’an was not surprised. If there was really a career to heal mental states, the World Game wouldn’t force him to adjust his mental state every time he returned.
"Then, is there a healing career that can regenerate severed limbs?" Su Ming’an asked.
[Yes. A recommendation is coming for you...]
The interface expanded, listing four careers in front of him:
[Detected that your first career is "Bai Shen," specially offering four careers with high matching degrees for the healing direction. Please choose one:]
[Rider: Support Type. Attaches to others to provide a shield, entering a short invincible state. Enhances halo’s additional abilities, increasing one’s survivability and health points.]
[Berserk Priest: Support Type. Strengthens vampiric abilities, the higher the attack power, the faster the health recovery. When holding sword-type weapons, healing ability is enhanced. When holding a Priest’s Staff, can activate berserk state, greatly enhancing melee attack power and attack speed.]
[Holy Knight: Support Type. All skills carry a high light pollution effect, significantly increasing healing amount. All damage-type skills add a slight area health recovery effect, enabling limb regeneration.]
[Light Transmitter: Support Type, Enhancement Type. Applies states, removes negative effects, enforces best spirit state, breaks through mentality attribute limits, greatly enhances cloning control.]
...
Su Ming’an read through them, feeling a desire to have them all.
First, the "Rider" profession felt oddly familiar. It seemed like he had seen similar roles in some games. If he were a lowly player in the World Game, only wanting to survive by clinging to the top player, this "Rider" profession would be comfortable to choose.
Unfortunately, there was no one more formidable than himself anymore.
Secondly, the "Berserk Priest" profession... This one enhances healing ability when holding sword-type weapons and boosts attack while holding a Priest’s Staff, even allowing for berserk melee attacks with the staff. Such reverse operation is something Su Ming’an had rarely seen.
He suddenly recalled when he once teamed up with the healer Lin Yin, as she swung a Black Blade fiercely at the enemies — was she this "Berserk Priest" profession?
He needed that vampiric ability; the berserk skill would be quite useful, but it conflicted with his weapon setup. He did not have a powerful Priest’s Staff, only strong swords. If berserk state could be activated in a sword state, that would be perfect, but alas, it couldn’t.
Third, the "Holy Knight" profession looked quite appealing as a strong, pure healing class capable of limb regeneration, fitting his requirements.
But Su Ming’an paused when he saw the last profession, "Light Transmitter."
This profession... seemed familiar?
At the end of the First World, the system had recommended this "Light Transmitter" profession, but he chose the hidden profession "White Tribunal" then, missing it. Now it popped up again.
The "enforced best spirit state" of the Light Transmitter was enticing. It was clearly similar to Roseblood’s adjustment mechanism, but in specific conditions, such as under low sanity values and obscured senses, if he could maintain the best spirit state, it would prevent many troubles.
"How is this... possible?" Su Ming’an pondered: "Clearly, the World Game cannot restore a player’s spirit state, but this skill can forcibly maintain a player in the best spirit state. So it should be a temporary spirit maintenance, not a permanent spirit recovery... like a booster-type skill?"
He hesitated between "Holy Knight" and "Light Transmitter." The limb regeneration of the "Holy Knight" was excellent, but the spirit state skill of the "Light Transmitter" was rare and hard to find.
At this moment, a communication request suddenly came through.
[Player (Su Rin) requests communication with you.]
"Doo-doo-doo—"
The avatar flickered, it was a pale yellow daisy floating on the stream, its tone reminiscent of an oil painting.
Su Ming’an connected, the interface unfolded, and on the other side of the communication was Su Rin’s face.
Su Rin’s attire today was particularly different, wearing a black felt hat, a robe with black and blue as the base, dragon buttons glinting with sunlight across the chest, and a plum blossom cuff link at the end of the long sleeve. It looked like the everyday outfit of a Pulaya aristocrat.
"When do we set out?" Su Rin asked directly into the camera.
"I’m choosing an occupation. By the way, let me ask your advice..." Su Ming’an informed Su Rin about the situation with these few occupations.
Su Rin pondered for a moment, then suddenly responded, asking back: "Aren’t you the Number One Player, why ask me?"
Su Ming’an remained expressionless: "You are the Cloud City God, gods are omnipotent, you must understand better than me."
Su Rin said: "Light Transmitter."
"Why?"
"Considering the circumstances in Qiongdi and the Ruined World, many of your dangers have occurred while you were unconscious. If you can maintain the best mental state while near death, you’ll at least have the chance to escape. Someone like Lin Guang might not even realize you’re still conscious." Su Rin explained: "Regarding the Holy Knight’s limb regeneration, it’s not necessary, you have a wheelchair. Your Spatial Vibration doesn’t require you to slash back and forth, in my view, your positioning is more akin to a ranged mage, your Shadow State is far more lethal than your Bright State."
Su Ming’an listened to Su Rin’s lengthy talk, deeply feeling how much information this person had gathered about him; every sentence was precise.
"Understood, I was thinking the same."
He reached out and chose [Light Transmitter], using the two Occupation Advancement Stones he previously acquired from the mailbox on it.
...
[Second Occupation: Light Transmitter]
[Occupation Core Skill: Eternal Dawn Lv.3]
[Skill Introduction: Forces maintenance of best mental state, continuously consumes Mana Points, cooldown time 1 hour. During this period, you won’t feel negative effects or pain in your body, additionally, your five senses will continuously be sensitive and enhanced. (Continuing to upgrade this skill will increase the degree of five senses enhancement and increase the extent of ignoring negative effects.)]
[Occupation Passive: Your cloning control capability is significantly strengthened.]
[Occupation Passive: Health Recovery Skill effect +10%]
...
[Combat Power: 3800+150!]
Su Ming’an activated the occupation skill "Eternal Dawn."
In an instant, he felt a brightness before him, not just a visual light effect, but truly perceiving everything in his view became visible down to the minutest detail, even the dull visual undertone became brighter.
The colors of the flowers by the window became vibrant, the serrations of the leaves visible, each soil particle crisp and layered. His hearing became sharp, faintly hearing the sound of flower branches swaying below the villa. The tail of the cat he held also felt softer, perceiving each strand clearly, the sensation of fur gliding through his palm exceedingly distinct.
Among these changes, the most significant was a feeling of full body vitality. Like someone in sub-health status suddenly filled with energy, providing a sense of a spiritual body detaching from a heavy shell, light and relaxed. As everything became extremely clear and bright, even thoughts seemed to accelerate, producing a sensation of elevation.
Su Ming’an soon left this state, stopping the skill.
"..." He stared at his palm, his body seeming to still immerse in the experience, with a sense of immersion.
"How was it?" Su Rin asked.
"Very... good."
"When do you plan to take me back..." Su Rin said.
"Let’s go now." Su Ming’an lifted his head: "Let’s go now." fгeewёbnoѵel_cσm
...
[Pulaya]
Under the sunshine, seagulls skimming the sea.
Where the sunlight shines, the sea surface seemed like shattered golden jade, inch by inch shattered amidst the waves. The spray like white silk banners fluttering in the wind, borne by the golden jade, surging towards the golden sandy beach.
The island seemed to breathe; as the long wind blew, thousands of plants swayed. The island’s waves, streams, boats, all breathed with the warm sea breeze, akin to the rhythm of life.
Fishermen drove boats home, farmers headed to fields with hoes, women sun-dried fish in front of houses, colorful clothes swayed on drying racks. Small boats slowly navigated through the streams in streets and alleys. Soul Hunts with medal-adorned chests, merchants carrying jewels, spoke loudly with accents about recent life. The whole island exuded a rich cultural and lifestyle atmosphere.
As their feet just touched the ground, Su Rin teleported without knowing where in Pulaya, leaving hastily.
If it were Noel Yuanyuan or others, they’d likely show Su Ming’an around, arranging a tour route in Pulaya. But Su Rin wouldn’t, Su Rin slipped away immediately.
Su Ming’an gazed at the air beside him. Looks like he’ll have to wander alone.
He looked up, the Cloud City was no longer there, only floating clouds remained in the sky, thinly piled against the azure background.
This water-surrounded island remained in its original form, not having undergone much change. Tall and short houses piled together. Looking afar, the Inner City stood with towering walls, reflecting gold-like brilliance under the sunlight, vaguely seeing armored knights patrolling the wall top.
In the center of the Inner City was the magnificent Royal City. From here, beautiful architecture surrounded by streams were visible, as well as the diamond-like shiny glass top of the castle under the sun. Yet, inside the castle, there was no longer a tulip-like brilliant proud young girl, wearing a heavy crown, watching over decades of peace and vicissitudes.
"—Outlander, we’re celebrating recently, care for a cup of Te Ni Tea?"
Su Ming’an heard a female voice with a heavy local accent, he turned around, it was a dark-skinned woman. She carried a basket of jars, seemingly making a living selling tea.
"Pulaya’s local specialty, absolutely unavailable outside, very tasty, have a cup." The woman’s smile was simple on her dark face.
This was the living area of the Outer City, behind the woman was her home, a low and rustic house, mainly red brick, ears of wheat and dried fish hung at the door, a fragrance of tea boiled wafted from the room, mixed with the bitterness of tea and the richness of milk. Su Ming’an simply sniffed to know it would taste great.
—This Te Ni Tea’s aroma was distinctly different from what Su Rin brewed!
He knew, how could the esteemed Pulaya specialty be brewed like some imitation answer sheet, it was indeed an issue of who brewed it.
Just as he was about to wave away, he found this woman somewhat familiar.
He examined closely, until confusion appeared on the woman’s face, then said: "Are you... Lele?"
"Hmm?" The woman was startled: "How do you know my name."
Su Ming’an did not answer.
Time has passed, human affairs have changed, and he was merely a visitor.
This World had not collapsed due to the Cloud City’s fall, without equilibrium and sacrifice, people’s faces wore smiles.
So he hadn’t come in vain.
