The evil witch BOSS just wants to develop in a low-key manner

Chapter 2: Starting as an SS-level fighter!

No one can resist extra power.

Even the evil wizard boss is the same.

Close the window again.

Sit back down at your messy desk.

He skillfully opened the [Fighter] system panel exclusively for players.

A class card filled with starlight slowly opened in front of him like a curtain.

……

[Starmark Fighter] (30th Anniversary Exclusive Commemorative Edition) (Untradeable)
Level: Level 1.

【talent】

Strong Will and Iron Bones (SS Rank): You possess a will and body of steel.

【Skill】

Basic Skull-Splitting Fist: Level 0

……

In the pioneering era, an A-level talent is already a sure-fire start.

Post it on the forum and it will attract tens of thousands of views in minutes.

But when the game entered its 30th year.

If the official doesn't come up with some new activities, how can it attract old players to explore the new world?

This [Starmark Fighter] has SS-level talent and top-level qualifications. This is the top-level qualification new file given by the official to veteran players as part of his 30th anniversary feedback event!

For him, all three of his accounts have already reached the legendary level.

He has several such top-level qualified small accounts, all of which are gathering dust in the warehouse.

But at this moment.

Traveling to "Holy Traces: Eternal Poems", a lonely ordinary person.

Facing this top-level SS-level [Star Mark Fighter] at this moment.

It made Zorn Korik's heart beat fast and he felt like he was in first love!

"Although the [Evil Spirit Wizard] is a world-class boss with extremely high template stats, its abilities and methods are mostly long-range and focused on the mystical, strange, and extraordinary science aspects. This sequence is not good at close combat."

"but now……"

Zorn's pupils narrowed slightly as he carefully scanned the sequence card of [Star Mark Fighter].

"With this SS-level [Star Mark Fighter], things will be completely different."

"This is one of the strongest career sequences in the early stages."

"It can make up for the [Evil Spirit Wizard]'s weakness in the early stages and its lack of melee combat."

"At the same time, player template + BOSS template, this is a double sequence!"

Take a deep breath.

He lightly tapped on the sequence card of [Star Mark Fighter].

The sequence card spread out into starlight all over the sky and then transformed into a star wheel, slowly flowing into his body.

The soul, will, arms, legs, trunk, muscles, fascia and many other aspects are being tempered while the [Star Mark Fighter] inheritance is being loaded.

Improved defense, balance, perception and reaction, and improved compatibility with [Qi].

Even without the detailed flow description of the system panel.

But as a veteran professional player, he can judge his own situation through the delicate feelings transmitted from his body.

A feeling of déjà vu passes through every inch of skin and gently blooms deep in the soul.

Ordinary life, at the intersection of moonlight and night, becomes extraordinary.

In the era of surging steam waves, mysterious and bizarre forces gradually revived.

All sequence powers come from the depths of secrecy and are part of the taboo.

But the [Star Mark Fighter] in front of him was obviously not among them.

A joy like the white moonlight shone on Zorn's face, and he couldn't help but immerse himself in this wonderful state of sequence inheritance.

"Without this top-tier fighter sequence, I'm afraid we'll have to wait until we officially inherit the [Evil Spirit Wizard] boss sequence before we can take action."

"But now... with the Fighter Sequence in hand, the safety and error tolerance rate have been greatly improved."

"Also, the [Fighter] sequence can completely conceal my true identity as [Evil Spirit Wizard]. This is particularly important."

"There's still a week left until the [Evil Spirit Wizard] sequence is passed down. That's plenty of time for me to do a lot of things!"

Coming to the window, bathed in the bright moonlight, he gently tapped on the balcony.

With extraordinary power in hand, his mind gradually opened up.

"The steam wave of the times is surging. According to the core important [major events], with my inheritance of the [evil wizard], the Zorn Kerrick family is about to go bankrupt."

"The subsequent series of misfortunes and tragedies, like a giant hand gripping my throat, pushed me into a continuous decline, degeneration, madness, and ultimately... I became a pawn to be manipulated at will by those behind the scenes."

"And this includes one overt [incident] and two hidden [incidents]."

"The bankruptcy of the Zorn Kerrick family marks the beginning of the Evil Spirit Wizard's journey towards evil and corruption!"

"Although these [incidents] and the conspiracy behind them were not intentionally targeting me, at this stage, I am just the unlucky person who was affected."

"But...I'm sorry."

Zorn's pupils narrowed slightly, and a cruel smile gradually crept onto his face. Under the night and moonlight, he looked like a devil smiling.

"This time, it's no longer the reckless, ignorant, blank slate of Zorn Kerrick, who's floundering like a headless chicken in the steam wave."

"But...I will do it myself."

"Once you meet me, you will all be food on the table!"

…………

Early morning hours.

The birds in the woods are singing sweetly.

Zorn, who got up early, was doing morning fighting exercises in the courtyard.

Inherited the SS-level [Star Mark Fighter].

Before daybreak, Zorn woke up full of energy.

[Superhumans] often only need a short period of rest to feel refreshed and physically strong.

The higher the level of the extraordinary person, the more so.

In this way, extraordinary people can devote more time and energy to work, study and self-cultivation.

The ninth time, after completing the "Basic Skull-Splitting Fist".

Zorn sweated slightly.

He stood quietly in the thin mist in the backyard.

You can clearly feel the subtle "qi" slowly being absorbed into your body.

"This SS-level talent sequence is truly extraordinary. Normally, only a third-level fighter can sense [Chi], but I'm only at the first level, and I can already sense and begin to master it."

"It's worthy of being a top-level qualification number."

"This SS-level Gangyi Iron Bone strengthens the will's ability to interfere with various negative forces, enhances physical defense and bone strength, and reduces pain perception."

"This gave me extremely strong fighting and combat abilities in the early stages."

"The upper limit of the SS-level sequence is very high, there is no doubt about that."

"But diligent practice is still required to unearth and develop the powerful force of this sequence."

For the [Fighter] sequence.

Daily exercise, cultivation, fighting, boxing, etc. can slowly increase one's fighting spirit, fighting physique, and sequence level growth.

And want to grow quickly.

That requires going through one real "fight" after another.

A cruel and bloody "life and death fight" is also the key to a fighter's promotion, and this is the fighting soul of the fighter sequence.

"Master Zorn, it's time for breakfast!"

On the steps under the eaves, the voice of the old butler Grunk was heard.

"Here we go, Uncle Gronk!"

Zorn smiled warmly.

…………

Breakfast was very rich.

Two blood sausages, a small plate of bacon, a fried egg, a fresh vegetable salad with sweet bean sauce, sliced sweet and soft croissants, and a large cup of fresh hot milk. In Zorn's memory, although the food was just as rich in the past, the variety and quantity were less than today's.

As he ate, he was surprised to find that his appetite was particularly good today.

The fighter sequence has made him a little different from before.

As a large amount of food enters the stomach, it is slowly digested.

He once again felt the thin "air" being slowly absorbed by his body.

Harvesting "qi" from digesting food is also part of growth.

Of course, if you want to gain more and grow in the "sequence", you should participate in the [event] and use your own means and abilities to promote the progress of the [event].

This is the best way to improve in the world of [Holy Relics·Eternal Poem].

The maid Vanessa finished clearing the table and left the small dining room next to the hall.

"Uncle Gronk!"

Zoen first looked at the butler Grunk, who had been standing aside and waiting for a long time.

"What is the financial situation within the family?"

Yesterday, when Young Master Zorn advocated postponing the mysterious inheritance, he felt that Young Master Zorn had grown up a little.

And today, Master Zorn asked about the family's financial situation, which made the old butler feel even stronger.

Instead of feeling dissatisfied, he felt a sense of anticipation and relief.

Master Zorn, you really need to grow up.

But when he thought about the family's financial situation, his brows furrowed.

After hesitating for a moment, he finally spoke frankly.

"Master Zorn, the Einon Plantation in the north has not produced anything for a long time due to the interference of those... those lost people in the fog."

"The two houses in Old Town Ogland have been mortgaged to the bank because the family has been unable to make ends meet in the past two years. If..."

The old butler paused, then sighed.

"If the assets are insufficient to cover the debts after the auction, we will have to pay back the outstanding balance, and even the manor we are currently staying in may be taken away by the bank."

The old butler's explanation made Zorn pause.

Although Zorn knew what was going to happen next, it happened too quickly.

"in addition……"

The old butler continued to elaborate.

"Originally, the dock handling company invested by Baron Leon in the Bay Area had a generous monthly income last year."

"But... ever since Lord Baron Leon went to sea, the monthly dividend income has been getting smaller and smaller."

"Until six months ago, there wasn't a single dividend remittance from there."

"Currently, the gold reserves in the manor are less than 200 gold pounds."

When Zorn heard this, he immediately understood many of the intricacies involved.

He was too familiar with the various situations in the open, gray areas, and underground underworld in the current era of steam roaring and extraordinary revival.

The Bay Area is where steam trains and river shipping converge.

It is the intersection of interests and a place where gangs run rampant.

After some gang leaders mastered mysterious supernatural powers, they even dared to embezzle the interests of some businessmen and aristocratic companies with less solid backgrounds through some bold operations.

Of course, they were just as daring before, but their appetites were not as big and greedy as they are now.

In an era of great change and turmoil, it is difficult for ordinary nobles to make further progress, let alone keep their family business.

As a senior noble, Leon Kerrik obviously realized this, which drove him to explore the mysteries and extraordinary powers in the depths of the ocean.

Anyway.

The family’s financial problems are an issue that needs to be resolved urgently.

Without money, how can you be the evil boss?

After thinking for a moment, Zorn looked at Gronk and said.

"Uncle Grunkle, I need a map of our city of Auglan."

Soon, a map of Ogland City, three feet long and one and a half feet wide, was spread out before Zorn.

The first thing that catches your eye is the narrow strip of land called the "fog zone" on the north side.

There are the city-state's night watchmen, patrol teams, and the church and knights of the Holy Sun Church.

The "lost ones" who emerge from the gray fog are often cleared out by them immediately.

If these lost people enter the city, they will cause a lot of trouble.

Next is the "Old Town" on the west side.

The entire old city area, with a quarter of the city-state's area, accommodates more than half of the city-state's population.

Crowded, dirty, chaotic, rampant thieves, and poor public security are all labels that characterize the old town.

Then there is the commercially developed "Bay Area".

And the "new city area" where every inch of land is valuable and prepared for the nobles, merchants and nouveau riche.

The city layouts of each area in each level of [Holy Relics·Eternal Poem] are different.

A more detailed understanding of the city of Ogland will help Zorn carry out his many plans and participate in many [events].

As his sight swept across the city of Ogland, Zorn quickly absorbed a lot of important and useful information.

“The Bay Area is much larger than you might think.

This also means that in the year I am in, the development of steam technology is more mature, and the investment in steam technology needs to be accelerated. Those medicines that are said to be "money printing machines" also need to be developed as soon as possible and... obtain patents.

The roaring waves of mystery and transcendence will soon sweep across the entire world.

The Bay Area has developed business, which has also led to the expansion of wealthy areas and the number of wealthy people.

There are many nobles and businessmen who desire extraordinary power.

Some extraordinary industries that exploit the rich... ahem... to satisfy their dreams of transcendence are also estimated to be reaching a critical point."

With this thought in mind, he rubbed his eyebrows.

"The dock gangs have eaten up the profits that originally belonged to me. It's obvious that there are extraordinary people involved behind this."

"This……"

Zorn paused, a hint of bloody smile flashing in the depths of his pupils.

"Interesting!"

"Eliminating the mastermind behind the dock gangs will not only ease the financial pressure on my family, but also... these criminal members of the dock gangs can become nutrients for the growth of my evil spirit wizard sequence."

"The dock gang incident is beyond the ability of the current [Fighter] sequence to resolve. We need to wait until the [Evil Spirit Wizard] is passed down."

"Before that, I need to find an [event] suitable for [fighters] to participate in and profit from."

When he saw several special signs in the old town, Zorn's pupils narrowed slightly and he suddenly thought of something.

"Uncle Grunkle, has there been a rat infestation in the old town recently?"

"Rat plague?"

Gronk paused, then shook his head.

"I haven't heard of any rat infestation recently, but... I did hear there are indeed a lot more rats in the old town recently."

"Also, it seems like a lot of Rat Catchers have appeared over there!"

Rat catcher!
After hearing this, Zorn was thoughtful.

"Rat catchers are starting to appear, and the rat plague hasn't broken out yet..."

"Obviously..."

His eyes lit up slightly.

"The treasure in the underground passage has not yet been excavated."

"You know, that treasure not only contains an astonishing amount of Krugerrands, but also a [Forbidden Item]."

“It can play a huge role at the current stage.”

"Rumors of a [mysterious treasure] in the underground passages caused quite a stir in Ogland, leading many desperate people to venture into the complex sewer area."

"And those criminals who wield unearthly powers have committed several horrific crimes in the underground passages."

"At the same time, the rat plague is also one of the [important events] in Oglan City."

A plan to obtain this "treasure" quickly took shape in Zorn's mind.

After a moment he looked at Gronk and said.

"Uncle Grunk, we need to go out for a while, and I need you to go to Luke Street and help me find a rat catcher."
