Chapter 42 Northern Outpost
As far as he knew, there was a Mage Tower in the Cross Fortress. If one raised his reputation here to Worship, there would be several very valuable items that could be purchased.

They are the Mage job transfer certificate and the Enchanter professional employment certificate.

Yes, Chu Cheng did consider changing his career.

The dual-blade warrior is just a mid-level melee profession with extremely limited potential. In the early stages, you have no choice but to take this job.

Now that I am strong and have the ability to choose, I will definitely switch to a stronger career.

The mage profession is one of the options.

As a wizard profession, the mage profession is equivalent to a top-level profession with four specialties to choose from.

Chu Cheng’s plan was to get the mage profession first, and then get the enchanter profession.

Then see if there is any way to get other top melee professions. If I can get them, I will still prioritize switching to melee professions, preferably top tank professions.

In addition to the fact that my talents are suitable for melee professions, the main thing is that many of the skills I am learning now are exclusive to melee professions.

Because the upper limit of learnable skills at the first level is only 10, if you change your job to a mage, except for some skills that can be kept, all others must be forgotten and replaced with spells.

You should know that if you forget a skill, the consumed skill points will not be returned to you, which would be such a waste.

This is a rare opportunity. This is the first time for everyone to come to this medium-sized dungeon in the Golden Wasteland, and no one has yet achieved Exalted reputation. Therefore, the Exalted reputation items are all here, and the first one to complete the Exalted reputation will gain the greatest benefit.

Before Chu Cheng entered the dungeon, he had already collected information about the Golden Wasteland, especially information related to reputation.

Knowing that the reputation of the Cross Fortress is much more difficult than that of the Black Sail Pirates dungeon, it would be difficult to reach the level of Worship even if you clear it step by step normally in half a year.

There is only one shortcut to achieve it quickly, which is to turn the situation around at the most critical moment in the decisive battle between the Cross Fortress and the tribal coalition on the Blackwater River. This will gain you a huge amount of reputation and reach the worshipped reputation in one fell swoop.

First step to reputation:
"Kill the aliens!"

Strictly speaking, there are several ways to gain reputation at the beginning, but for him, this kind of fighting and killing is the easiest.

Humans start out with friendly reputation, and before reaching respected, they can gain respected by defeating orcs, centaurs, and other alien races that are hostile to humans that invade human frontline outposts.

That afternoon, Chu Cheng left the Cross Fortress and took on a team-following mission at the fortress's logistics department. He followed a rotation squadron and a material supply team to the northern outpost.

The Northern Outpost is located to the north of the Cross Fortress. It is the front line and is located on the Blackwater River. The big plot two months later is nearby.

In addition to the rotating squadron, there were no less than a hundred students from various classes with him, including several elite teams. He unexpectedly discovered that Zhang Chunlei and Wang Weilong's teams were among them. He didn't know where they got the channels from, but they actually got two carriages.

Wang Weilong also saw Chu Cheng, but just nodded from a distance with a calm expression.

Chu Cheng knew that he had some resentment in his heart. After all, it was because of him that he left Class 5.

On the other side, Zhang Chunlei invited him to take a ride, and he didn't refuse.

"I didn't expect you to go to the Northern Outpost as well."

"I'm going over there to gain reputation."

Zhang Chunlei suddenly said:

"So you want to go the reputation route, so you don't need to form a team."

"Yes."

"this is not bad."

Zhang Chunlei nodded and said:

"No one in this instance has a revered reputation. Everyone is at the same starting line. If you can reach revered status as quickly as possible, you'll make a lot of money." Chu Cheng nodded.
"I think so too."

"But you have to be careful. There are many people who have this idea. Even the strongest people in the class have this idea. They have a lot of support from their companions, and their reputation can be increased much faster than yours."

"Ok, I know."

The journey was peaceful. Although there were all kinds of wild beasts in the wilderness, they also had instincts and would never dare to attack such a large army.

In this vast wilderness, there are both real-life wild beasts such as zebras, wild boars, lions, coyotes, antelopes, bison, crocodiles, as well as common wild beasts and alien races in the Chaos Realm such as velociraptors, chocobos, goblins, gnolls, trolls, and ogres.

The group walked along the road through the wilderness, heading north for about thirty or forty kilometers, and saw a high ground in the distance ahead, with a huge stone fortress standing on it.

"We've arrived at the Northern Outpost!"

A long horn sounded from the high beacon tower, the gate of the stone fort opened, and a team of cavalry rushed out, escorting the supply convoy into the stone fort.

This stone fortress is quite large, with an internal area of ​​hundreds of acres. It is surrounded by high stone walls and has more than 200 soldiers stationed inside.

Most of them were infantry, with two small teams of cavalry, about 20 horses each.

There are military camps, horse farms, blacksmith shops, etc.

The stone fort is located on the bank of the Black Water River. Chu Cheng walked around the outpost and came to the east, where he saw a wide river a thousand meters away. There was a flat tidal flat on the side, which had been reclaimed into farmland and many human civilians were planting.

These civilians usually live in nearby riverside villages and only retreat to the stone forts at the outposts during war.

After hundreds of students entered the stone fort, they all went to NPCs such as officers in the fort to build relationships and receive tasks.

Most of them have the same purpose as Chu Cheng, which is to improve their reputation.

This is a very good way for most students. After all, most non-elite students cannot compete for the big bosses. The most valuable thing for them is to increase their reputation. When the reputation goes up, they can buy reputation items in the camp.

For large forces in medium-sized copies like the Cross Fortress, the quality of reputation items is much higher than that of small copies.

With Revered reputation, you can buy good blue equipment and items of the same level. With Exalted reputation, you can buy rare equipment that can only be obtained in small dungeons, final bosses, and five-star plots.

They don't expect to gain admiration, they just want to gain reverence.

Chu Cheng walked around the edge of the stone fort and returned to it. He saw many people gathered somewhere in the central square. When he got closer, he found that there were two lists, one was the bounty list and the other was the outpost mission list.

The bounty list contained bounties for BOSSes posted by the outpost. He took a quick glance and saw that they were basically some BOSSes wandering around in the wasteland near the outpost.

The outpost mission list is varied and has everything.

There are both menial tasks such as patrolling, standing guard, and helping villagers fetch water for irrigation, as well as dangerous tasks such as exterminating nearby alien tribes.

But no matter which one, there will be reputation rewards as long as it is completed.

It is worth mentioning that these tasks are not exclusive like in some games. It does not exist that once I receive a task first, others cannot receive it.

This is not a game.

Theoretically, anyone can do this task, but in the end, only those who get the boss's head will be considered to have completed it.

Fortunately, BOSS missions are usually completed by a team by default. No matter how many people are together, at most five people can complete the mission, and the reward is also divided equally among the five people.

Chu Cheng looked back and forth between the two lists several times, memorized all the bounties and combat missions in his mind, then turned and left.

What he didn't know was that when he walked out of the outpost, there were several eyes staring at him from behind.
