This assassin is upright

Chapter 312 The Other Side of the Divine Revelation World (Seeking Monthly Tickets!)

As the idea popped into his mind, Yu Zhun's eyes narrowed slightly, and countless related guesses immediately flooded his mind.

However, to find out which of these speculations is true, he needs to understand the world more deeply.

"Scarlett, have you ever heard of a blacksmith?"

“Of course I’ve heard of it!” Scarlett nodded quickly. “All of our weapons and equipment are made by blacksmiths, and they can even restore old equipment to its best condition.”

"Besides equipment, blacksmiths can also create items. There are many blacksmiths in the Assassin's Hall, and they all hold very high positions!"

"Is that so..." Yu Zhun looked thoughtful.

Blacksmiths, a profession specializing in crafting, can also forge equipment. However, to acquire the skill to forge equipment, the blacksmith's profession level must reach Lv40, and the maximum forging level is only epic-grade equipment.

A blacksmith whose crafting profession level reaches Lv40 is generally stronger than a first-class job advancement. At this stage, epic-level equipment is not valuable, and more powerful legendary-level equipment dominates the mainstream market.

Therefore, in most servers, blacksmiths mainly focus on crafting various practical items, which are obtained as drops from dungeons.

However, in this world of the Second Job Advancement Trial, the people living here cannot engage in dungeon raids, and blacksmiths are their only way to obtain equipment, which explains why they are in a different situation from the outside world.

but…

Upgrading a weapon to +10 without a single failure is something that can be done by an Enhancer with a Life Skill Level of Lv30, yet here they are revered as the most skilled Enhancer in the Assassin's Hall.

Scarlett's introduction mentions that there are not only blacksmiths who have reached level 40 in their crafting profession and are capable of forging equipment, but also a considerable number of them.

There are only two possibilities for this situation to occur.

The first reason is that blacksmiths are more valued than reinforcement masters here, so they have more opportunities to level up.

However, judging from Scarlett's reaction after seeing his enhancement, this possibility is impossible.

The importance of a reinforcement master is at least on par with that of a blacksmith, and perhaps even higher due to their scarcity.

Therefore, only the second possibility remains...

Yu Zhun's eyes flickered slightly.

In this world, both Enhancement Masters and Blacksmiths, who are professions related to daily life, did not appear at the same time.

Moreover, this possibility is not small.

Since the main ability of a reinforcement master is to enhance and upgrade equipment, logically speaking, only when there is a large enough base of equipment will someone accidentally discover a way to enhance it.

In an instant, a perfectly smooth development path appeared in Yu Zhun's mind.

The first blacksmiths appeared, gaining respect from others by crafting various useful tools, and their rank gradually increased.

One of the most talented blacksmiths, over time, crossed the Lv40 threshold and gained the ability to forge equipment.

Since then, the world has had all sorts of equipment, and correspondingly powerful individuals have emerged.

Only after the number of equipment items in this world reached a certain level did the profession of Enhancement Master emerge on the historical stage.

Due to a temporary lack of necessary tools, the Enhancement Master class has not yet fully developed, but it has already received considerable attention.

Perhaps before long, enhancement items will also appear...

Thinking of this, Yu Zhun couldn't help but consider the remaining two professions. "Have you ever heard of a potion master?"

“I’ve heard of them before.” Scarlett pondered for a moment, then slowly began to speak. “They can concoct potions with different powers using various materials, but such people are extremely rare.”

“The temple occasionally sells potions to its internal staff, and they are always snapped up at high prices immediately.” As she spoke, Scarlett glanced at Yu Zhun.

She suddenly remembered the medicine Yu Zhun had given her before, the one that had instantly healed her injuries completely.

Could it be that that potion was also made by a potion master?

Yu Zhun is not only a top-tier enhancement master, but also a potion master?

Thinking of this, Scarlett's eyes shone with even stronger admiration.

Ignoring Scarlett's wild imagination, Yu Zhun stroked his chin, his expression thoughtful once again.

It sounds like potion masters might appear later than enhancement masters.

This is normal, since the main ingredients for potion makers are those dropped by monsters after they die, and the drop rate of these materials is probabilistic and not high.

Only when the people of this world, with the help of blacksmiths and enhancers, improve their overall strength to a certain level, can they reliably obtain it.

and many more…

Yu Zhun then thought of an equally important question.

Do you know Warcraft?

“Of course I know~” Scarlett couldn’t help but glance at Yu Zhun.

She hadn't given much thought to Yu Zhun's previous inquiries about blacksmiths and potion makers, things few people knew about.

But now, he's even asking such a well-known question.

However, considering that Yu Zhun had enhanced her weapon twenty times in one go, Scarlett quickly suppressed her doubts.

Perhaps this is the legendary reclusive tycoon who doesn't concern himself with worldly affairs!
After covering up her doubts, Scarlett quickly said, "There are monsters scattered outside every city."

“They vary in appearance, ability and strength, exist in groups, and occasionally there are very powerful individuals.”

"Therefore, the area outside the city is a very dangerous place, and crossing the city often requires the escort of a strong person."

Upon hearing this, Yu Zhun nodded in understanding.

Sure enough, there are magical beasts in this world too.

"Then... have you ever heard of a chef?"

"Huh?" For the first time, Scarlett looked blank in response to Yu Zhun's question. "Boss, you mean a chef with excellent skills?"

“No.” Yu Zhun shook his head. “It is a profession that can enhance the strength of others to a certain extent by cooking delicious food.”

“How could you possibly improve your strength through food?” Scarlett looked incredulous. “I’ve never heard of such a thing before.”

"I understand." Yu Zhun nodded slightly.

The ingredients used by chefs to cook food are also dropped by monsters, and are limited to ingredients dropped by certain special monsters.

Therefore, it is reasonable that it appeared later than Potions Master.

Thinking of this, a strange look appeared in Yu Zhun's eyes.

In the various servers of the Divine Revelation World, there is no change or development in life professions. From the moment the real world and the Divine Revelation World are connected, everything is already in a perfect state.

This is actually illogical, but under the guise of the concept of "high-dimensional games," no one considered the rationality of such small details, treating it simply as part of the game's setting—that upon reaching Lv15, one could choose one of four life professions. Now, the world where the second job advancement trial takes place is showcasing the changes and development of these four life professions to Yu Zhun.

Previously, he thought this was the original version of the world of divine revelation, but now, Yu Zhun felt that compared to the world of divine revelation he was familiar with, this was more like a normal, developing world.

Based on his previous experience in the [Heavenly Ruins Sacred Realm], a bold guess emerged in his mind.

The world they initially entered within the [Heavenly Ruins Sacred Realm] was not the true [Heavenly Ruins Sacred Realm], but merely a glimpse of it revealed to outsiders. The true [Heavenly Ruins Sacred Realm] was hidden within the [Heavenly Ruins Dojo].

In addition, the [Heavenly Ruins Sacred Realm] also has a corresponding mirrored dark side, where the master of the Heavenly Ruins Divine Palace suppresses countless enemies.

This not only demonstrated the shrewdness of the master of Tianxu Divine Palace, but also allowed Yu Zhun to learn some common knowledge about 5A-level dungeons.

That is, a god-level being has a high degree of control over 5A-level dungeons. Just as a god can edit and modify a special dungeon after mastering it, a god can also perform similar operations on 5A-level dungeons.

Then...

Is the master of the Divine Demon Palace really just dividing the Divine Revelation World into countless servers and connecting them with countless real-world entities?

Could they be like the Heavenly Ruins God Clan, believing they are in the world of divine revelation, when in reality they are not in the true world of divine revelation?

As this thought crossed his mind, Yu Zhun was deeply moved.

Why would the Master of the Divine Demon Palace arrange the second-stage trial in such a world?
Is it intentional to let players discover something? Or is there a deeper secret hidden in this world?
"Big Boss?" Scarlett stretched out her hand and waved it in front of Yu Zhun's eyes. "What's wrong with you?"

"It's nothing." Yu Zhun shook his head, coming back to his senses.

He looked at Scarlett and finally couldn't hold back, asking the question he had always wanted to ask but hadn't dared to.

Have you ever heard of warriors, mages, archers, and priests?

Since the development of livelihood professions in this world is traceable, what about the five main professions?
Is this world only inhabited by assassins?
"Does that sound familiar?" Scarlett frowned and pondered for a moment, then her eyes widened. "Ah, I remember now!"

"All of these things you mentioned existed before, and there were even four other halls corresponding to the Hall of Assassins, but for some reason, they gradually declined and eventually disappeared completely."

“Now, only the Assassin's Guild remains dominant.” After saying that, Scarlett scratched her head sheepishly, “I don’t know much about it either.”

"It's alright, it's enough." Yu Zhun shook his head slightly.

Scarlett was, after all, just an ordinary assassin in the Hall of Assassins, so it was normal that she didn't know many things.

but…

The other four combat classes gradually declined and disappeared.
Yu Zhun's gaze sharpened slightly.

Although he chose the assassin profession, he would never look down on other combat professions because of it. In fact, every combat profession has its unique characteristics, and it can be said that none of them can be missing.

Putting everything else aside, the priest profession alone is absolutely cherished by other professions.

How could it be that only the Assassin's Guild dominates while all other professions have disappeared?
This matter likely involves very deep secrets.

Yu Zhun was filled with countless thoughts, and couldn't help but look up at the sky. He vaguely seemed to see the eyes of God 1 again, eyes that were devoid of joy or sorrow.

and so…

What did Yu Zhu encounter during the second trial?
A world where the pastoral temple holds absolute power?
-
"treat!"

On a vast open field, Yu Zhu casually raised his hand, and the pack of hundreds of wolf-shaped magical beasts that charged forward was instantly wiped out.

Seeing the wolf carcasses lying on the ground, the twenty-odd men and women dressed in white robes hiding behind Yu Zhu cheered excitedly, their chatter filled with admiration and respect for him.

"Yu Zhu, it's wonderful to have you join our pastoral temple!"

"Yes, yes, these terrifying and ferocious monsters have been bothering us for a long time. Now finally someone can wipe them out!"

"Everyone will be much safer traveling in the future!"

Listening to the chatter of the crowd, Yu Zhu's lips curled up slightly, and he put his hands on his hips, "These are all minor issues!"

"Go quickly and help me look for it, see if you can find what I need!"

"Alright!" The crowd scattered and began searching the fallen wolf carcass. Soon, several people returned to Yu Zhu with glittering wolf teeth in their hands.

"Yu Zhu, is this the kind you wanted?"

“That’s right, it’s the [Crushing Wolf Fang]!” Yu Zhu’s eyes lit up, and he quickly took it and put it into his backpack. “This is the only material we need.”

"With this, I can now brew mana potions!"

Yu Zhu herself naturally doesn't need potions to restore mana. The percentage-based mana regeneration per second provided by her legendary equipment is enough to make her mana inexhaustible.

But after she arrived in this world, she discovered that the priests in the priesthood of this world seemed to be frequently troubled by their mana levels.

The reason why they consume so much mana is somewhat laughable.

That is, only priests exist in this world.

As is well known, priests have almost no ability to fight head-on, so when facing monsters, they can do nothing but heal themselves a few times and let the monsters chew on them a few more times.

Ultimately, in this world, the responsibility of fighting against the monsters fell on ordinary people, while the priests' shrines took on the responsibility of healing.

The strength of monsters is vastly different from that of ordinary people, so every battle against monsters results in enormous casualties.

The priest needs to constantly heal the wounded and occasionally perform a resurrection, but the equipment in this world is far inferior to that in the world of Divine Revelation, with the highest level being only epic-grade equipment, and the mana regeneration is average.

Therefore, priests often run out of mana.

As a player whose profession is potion maker, Yu Zhu decided to share the potion recipe for restoring mana with other priests.

Returning to the priest's hall with a group of young admirers, Yu Zhu demonstrated the preparation of a magic potion. As the first priest attempted to restore the potion, exclamations of surprise resounded throughout the hall.

More and more priests in the temple looked at Yu Zhu with worshipful eyes, but Yu Zhu had no mind to pay attention to them. She waved her hand and then returned to the residence prepared for her in the temple, looking thoughtful.

After a moment of contemplation, she slowly spoke.

"Something's not right here!"

Most dungeons have a completely different worldview and power system from the world of Divine Revelation. To conquer a dungeon, you need to gradually explore the corresponding world, find the key to the problem, and solve it.

But the second-stage trial she was currently in was actually a dungeon that shared the same worldview and power system as the Divine Revelation World!

what does this mean?
This means that the second-tier trial is not a regular instance derived from the real world; it is entirely derived from the world of divine revelation, and even…

It may not be a copy at all.

What troubled Yu Zhu even more than this was...

What am I supposed to do here?

"If I can't find the main storyline soon, I'll be the master of the hall soon!"
