A game where you have to pay to win? But I have a lifespan roulette wheel!

"There are too many people and too much attention here, young man, come with me."

Xuanmo looked around.

The number of players on Earth is increasing.

Jiang Lin followed him into a small alley.

Fearing being double-crossed, Jiang Lin simply stood at the entrance of the alley.

"The young man is quite cautious."

"There's no other way. After all, you're involved in shady businesses. The fact that I came along already represents a huge risk."

"Haha, my judgment was right after all. It looks like this guy will definitely be able to pay off my life loan."

Xuanmo showed no anger at the wary Jiang Lin.

He continued, "Young man, you just entered the game, so you should have noticed you don't have a class, right?"

"Um."

Jiang Lin nodded.

He wasn't surprised by that.

Although in many online games, you can choose your class when creating your character.

However, it's not uncommon to see games where players enter the game, become familiar with it, and then choose a class.

"The job system in pay-to-win games is a bit special. It's not like you can switch jobs and be done with it. Most jobs have a level cap."

"most?"

"To be precise, apart from the only profession that can be obtained by those true prodigies, all other professions have a level cap. For example, the level cap for regular professions such as soldiers and students is only ten levels."

These are all knowledge points.

Jiang Lin silently made a note of it.

Xuanmo continued to explain: "The abilities that come with regular professions are almost never more than human power. It is only in the lower-level professions, intermediate professions, and so on, that one gradually comes into contact with extraordinary power. And the level cap for advanced professions is also higher."

"Can't I just switch to a beginner or intermediate level profession directly?"

"No, that won't work. Regular professions are the foundation of everything. For example, to advance from the basic profession [War King], you need to be at the maximum level in both the regular professions [Soldier] and [Survival Master]."

"Are there an unlimited number of job options?"

Jiang Lin asked a question.

According to this statement, if two regular units are combined into one primary unit, then it is possible that two primary units will be combined into one regular unit.

And this is just an example.

Perhaps some specialized entry-level jobs require several regular jobs.

"Hey buddy, don't forget, this is a life-risking game. Consuming your lifespan allows you to do almost anything!"

So you'll have to spend a lot of time unlocking the job slots.

"Can't you even resurrect them?"

"The intermediate-level profession [Soul Priest] has the skill to resurrect. As long as the opponent has been dead for no more than 24 hours, the Soul Priest can consume one year of lifespan to activate this skill."

"Oh~ then what is your only profession?"

These are all important points!

Every little bit we can get from Xuanmo is a good thing.

"I don't know much about unique professions, but I know that they have no level restrictions, are extremely powerful, and require many ultimate professions as well as a lot of demanding conditions to become a professional. As long as a civilization has one unique profession player, that civilization can be considered to have a foothold."

"Wait a minute, what's this 'ultimate job' thing?"

"Ahem, aside from the single profession, there are five categories: regular profession, junior profession, intermediate profession, senior profession, and ultimate profession."

Jiang Lin nodded.

It indicates that you understand.

However, I should be able to find out about these things sooner or later if I play around with them long enough.

Xuanmo wouldn't be planning to use this as free intelligence, would he?

He noticed Jiang Lin's suspicious gaze.

Xuanmo spoke up: "Don't look at me like that. Any veteran player could find this information. Of course, I'm not giving it to you as intelligence. What kind of person do you take me for?"

"A swindler."

"Ahem, I'm a legitimate businessman!"

"You're a loan shark."

"What's wrong with lending money at exorbitant interest rates! I call it venture capital! Tell me, buddy, is my lending service useful to you?"

"Tsk."

"Ahem, alright, alright, the real intelligence is about the advanced class [Mechanical Summoner]."

Advanced professions are one level below ultimate professions.

However, most players probably don't even understand what a profession is, let alone what a regular profession is, or even a junior high or high school profession.

Furthermore, in pay-to-win games, you can unlock job slots by consuming lifespan.

Don't put any pressure on yourself when choosing a career; just get it first!

Having figured this out, Jiang Lin put on a kind smile.

"So, Boss Xuanmo, are you planning to give me the [Mechanical Summoner] class advancement path?"

"Cough cough cough."

Upon hearing this, Xuanmo choked.

He even called himself a shrewd businessman, but this guy is even more greedy than him.

"Advanced professions may not be the ultimate professions, but they're not some cheap roadside stall items either. What are you thinking, buddy? I'm a businessman."

"so?"

"I have all the information needed for the Mechanic Summoner's class change, I can sell it."

Xuanmo emphasized the word "sell" very heavily.

"Free intelligence?"

"The Mechanic Summoner needs the standard class [Gunner] to advance to the next class, and I happen to have one here. It only costs you 3 Moon Coins, how about that? Pretty good deal, right?"

Xuanmo took out a scroll.

He looks very kind.

But no matter how Jiang Lin looked at it, he felt there was a trap.

"Is the follow-up information on this Mechanic Summoner going to be expensive? You should first use the Gunner class to lock me in, and then you can sell the follow-up information."

Jiang Lin probed.

Xuanmo's face stiffened, and his beard trembled a few times.

He stroked his beard: "What are you talking about, bro? Even if you don't plan to switch to the Mechanic Summoner class, the Gunner class will still be useful to you, right?"

indeed.

Having a job or not, even a regular job without extraordinary abilities, is very useful to Jiang Lin at present.

but!

We can't let this unscrupulous merchant keep making money!

I'm a little annoyed.

Jiang Lin looked troubled.

"Yes, that's true, but I'm short of money and really can't afford it."

"Didn't you just borrow a year's worth of life from me? I even gave you a free treatment!"

"Isn't this a case of 'nine out, thirteen back'? I still have to pay you back in three days. I really can't afford to spend money recklessly. It seems I have no choice but to risk going out to fight monsters. If I accidentally die out there, your loan sharking will be gone for good~ Sigh~"

"How about I give you a 9.8% discount?"

"1% off!"

"Is this how you bargain??? The lowest discount is 9%!"

"2% off!"

"No way, I can't even cover the costs! The lowest I can go is 8% off, that's the lowest I can go!"

"3% off! Bro, that's the highest I can go, the kid's broke!"

"7% off! Fine, I won't buy it then!"

"3% off? I really can't afford it. The gunman wants to use a gun as soon as he hears it. Using a gun requires buying bullets, which costs money. And think about it, if you don't sell it to me and I accidentally die outside, wouldn't the money you lent me be wasted?"

At first glance, it seems like you're losing 10 months of your life, but in reality, I'll be giving you back 16 months of your life. Plus, there's the month of treatment you gave me for free. In total, besides the year of life you borrowed, you'll also lose 7 months of your life. Rounding it up, it's a whole year!

"Adding it all up, you'd lose two years of your lifespan! Looking at it that way, forget about a 30% discount, you should have just given me the job change scroll directly. That way, you'd not only gain two years of lifespan, but if I become successful in the future, I might even need to buy more information about the Mechanical Summoner from you. So, losing two years is the least of your worries!!!"

Jiang Lin spoke at such a long pace in one breath.

Just like a machine gun.

Xuanmo was also somewhat confused.

He kept twirling his fingers.

"Oh, is that so?"
