Timeline Player

All sorts of people were walking on the street.

Some are wearing trench coats, some are clad in armor, some wear hoodies, some are dressed casually, and some even have anime/manga style...

It truly is a story that has been told throughout history and across the world, and the examples are endless.

Suddenly, many people stopped in their tracks, looked up at the huge map floating in the sky.

The map covered the entire sky, marked with areas of varying sizes, some bright, some dim, and some with edges shimmering with light, like unknown territories being explored.

At the edge of the map, there was an inconspicuous little ice field, which was suddenly marked with a red cross.

The streets became noisy:

"Has a newcomer brought out the singularity?"

"Isn't Dark River constantly dumping new players into that dungeon? They must be furious!"

"They've probably stuffed at least seven or eight here, right? Maybe this time, the people from the Dark River have successfully brought out the singularity?"

"Ha, how could that be? Given the nature of those people in the Dark River, if something like that really happened, they would have spread the word long ago."

Anyone interested in finding a bargain?

......

A figure walked past in the noisy crowd, his hood pulled low.

"I think I've accomplished something amazing." Chi Que looked up, mimicking the way those people were doing, and muttered to himself.

After the "Wrongfully Dead" instance ended, he was teleported to this place, which seems to be a transit point in the game.

Incidentally, the office worker who lay around throughout the entire game seems to have been deemed unqualified, had his memory erased, and was thrown out.

But at least he survived.

Judging from their tone, it seemed as if their lives would be in danger if they dared to reveal the Singularity.

Fortunately, he is about to leave.

However, when he reached the exit, Chi Que suddenly paused.

The exit of the transfer station was a huge archway, and at that moment, at least twenty or thirty people were scattered nearby.

Whenever someone walks toward the archway, there are always a few people who stop them and then question them.

Those people either shook their heads or answered a few questions before being allowed to pass. The whole process wasn't particularly rough, but it certainly wasn't friendly either.

However, those who were stopped were mostly people who didn't look very strong. They complained and muttered, but no one caused trouble.

And those players who look like they're not to be trifled with—

A man in full armor strode toward the exit. Several people checking him immediately made way for him. The burly man didn't even glance at them before walking straight through the archway and disappearing into the blue and white light.

Another woman in a priest's robe drifted by, and no one stopped her, or even dared to look at her.

not only that.

Chi Que looked at the people conducting the checks. Among the players who were checking newcomers, there were several obvious new faces. They had joined on their own initiative, chatting and laughing with those around them, occasionally glancing at the crowd.

Chi Que narrowed his eyes slightly: "I see."

The organization doesn't stop those powerful players at all; in fact, many powerful players have voluntarily joined the interception team.

In their eyes, this was a hunt.

And the prey was him.

"What exactly is that singularity I brought out?" Chi Que suddenly wanted to know.

The fact that multiple organizations could set up checkpoints at the exit, that powerful players could actively join the interception effort, and that the entire transit station could be thrown into chaos suggests that he may have underestimated the power of the Singularity.

Chi Que took a deep breath and then slowly exhaled.

Doesn't the official team behind this great game do anything about this behavior, which is almost tantamount to robbery in the street?

"However, considering the fact that obtaining a singularity is announced citywide, it's almost like encouraging this kind of behavior..."

He couldn't help but think.

Given the current situation, leaving is almost impossible, so Chi Que simply turned around and decided to take up a job first.

"We've arrived." After walking for another ten minutes, he stopped.

Several large characters were written in front of them:

[Career Hall]

It seems that the certificate for that extraordinary detective can only be obtained by coming here to change jobs.

The specific pool shortage is unclear; we'll see.

He stepped into the hall, and his vision blurred instantly.

In the blink of an eye, we were suspended in a starry sky.

A panel appeared before my eyes:

[Your professional certificate has been detected: Extraordinary Detective. Would you like to apply for employment? Current occupation: Unemployed.]

【Unconventional Detective: Pure White】

[Rank: Iron]

【proficient】

[Flesh and Blood]: 1

[Spirituality]: 4

[Element]: 2

[Ingenuity]: 3

Unlike ordinary detectives, unconventional detectives often encounter supernatural or mysterious things. However, they are still detectives after all, and therefore are physically weak, but are better at using tools and reasoning.

Incidentally, the "No Class" class is a class that requires mastery of both skills, and it seems to be a class that every new player automatically obtains after completing the game.

Chi Que realized something terrifying.

It seems that mastery of this game is entirely determined by the class, but he has three additional mastery points...

If he adds it to flesh and blood, could he use it to his advantage against those who want to exploit his weaknesses?

I'll take the job first and then we'll talk about the rest.

Chi Que suppressed his thoughts and chose to take the job.

[Player's proficiency has been detected to be sufficient; the Extraordinary Detective's proficiency level has been increased!]

[Proficiency levels are divided into: white, cyan, blue, purple, and yellow, with different prefixes awarded based on the game style.]

Chi Que was slightly taken aback.

Increase proficiency?

Does that take into account his own professional experience?

[Player]: Chi Que

[Occupation]: Unconventional Detective - Raven Blue

[Skills]: None

[Item]: None

[Flesh and Blood]: 1

[Spirituality]: 5

[Element]: 2

[Ingenuity]: 3

After the upgrade, my spiritual mastery improved slightly.

"So, upgrading blue should increase it by two points, purple by three points, and yellow by four points?" Chi Que guessed, without any reason, simply because that would bring the total to twenty points.

The game displayed another prompt:

Each time you take up a new job and increase your skill proficiency, you will gain a white-tier skill or upgrade the quality of an existing skill. The system has detected that you have not yet claimed a skill. Do you wish to claim it now?

"Skills?" Chi Que chose to accept them.

Please choose one of the four areas of expertise.

Flesh and blood, spirituality, elements, ingenuity.

"Ingenious, isn't it?" Chi Que quickly made a decision.

The idea of ​​adding flesh and blood to infiltrate others only flashed through his mind. He suspected that even so, there would probably still be many players with higher flesh and blood than him, so it would be better to strengthen his original advantage and make it impossible for others to get close.

[Player detected as skilled in disguise...]

[Skill Acquired: Disguise]

Chi Que was slightly taken aback, not expecting to have acquired the disguise skill.

He does often disguise himself. On the one hand, private detectives need to be inconspicuous, so he sometimes wears makeup. On the other hand, he has offended many people, and if he doesn't disguise himself, he's likely to get beaten up.

However, it's hard to say whether this will allow them to evade investigation.

Should we enhance the disguise skill?

[Note! If you choose to enhance, there is a chance of failure, and if you fail, you will not be able to obtain a new white skill.]
