The whole nation is trying to survive on the cable car; I'm choosing one of three options at ea

Every shot hits a vital spot, every skill strikes with pinpoint accuracy. Combos never end, cooldowns are constantly being refreshed. In his hands, this class reaches a much higher potential than what's written on the character sheet.

Su Mu suppressed his excitement and continued reading.

However, this thing seems to consume stamina...

Endurance? This thing wasn't displayed before.

He reopened the panel, and sure enough...

Below the properties panel, a new line of numbers has appeared.

Endurance: 133/133 (Constitution + Strength)

[Stamina Recovery: 4.5 points/second (Constitution × 0.1)]

Stamina is the sum of Strength and Constitution. He currently has 58 Strength and 30 Constitution, totaling 88 points. Recovery speed is 6 points per minute, calculated as 0.2 times his Constitution.

Su Mu calculated the cost of that combo: 20 points for dash + 10 points for follow-up thrust + 30 points for sweep = 60 points. He could only perform two combos; that limitation was significant.

However, compared to the strength of this combo, this limitation is perfectly acceptable.

Moreover, once one's physical condition improves, this weakness will be resolved.

But what brought Su Mu back to his senses was something else entirely...

His attributes seem to have changed.

He clearly remembered that his attributes before the upgrade were 58 Strength, 30 Constitution, 15 Agility, and 18 Spirit.

But that's the attribute after adding the breakthrough rune.

Looking at it now...

Strength: 88 (+30)

and many more.

88?

Su Mu stared at the panel for a while, and the corners of his mouth slowly curled up.

Class attribute bonuses: Strength +30, Constitution +20, Agility +15

Just changing jobs added 65 attribute points.

Changing jobs will also increase your attributes.

Su Mu took a deep breath to suppress the shock in his heart.

He recalled the attributes of the monsters he had seen before... a level 5 blue giant axeman with 72 strength. At the time, he thought that number was ridiculously high; even a normal team of five of the same level would be doomed if they encountered one.

Based on color alone, this should be considered a minor leader or something similar, which is somewhat excessive.

Now I understand that it's not that the monsters are too strong, but that survival is not measured by the standards of ordinary people.

Before changing jobs, even the highest attributes are only the upper limit for an "ordinary person." Only after changing jobs do you truly step into the threshold of "extraordinary."

Those monsters are probably some kind of "professional" or "mutant." Their attributes are designed according to the standards after job advancement.

Ordinary people, without changing their profession, are naturally crushed when facing them.

No wonder even a level 1 goblin can instantly kill a D-level talent user. No matter how high the talent bonus is, it's still just an addition to the base number of "ordinary people." Goblins, on the other hand, are genuine "mutated creatures," and their starting attributes are completely different.

Su Mu leaned against the tree trunk and let out a long breath.

Therefore, changing jobs is the true starting point of this world.

Reaching level three, obtaining the profession certificate, and completing the job change... this is the true threshold to transcendence. Before that, everyone is just an ordinary person struggling to survive in this cruel world.

Including himself.

If he hadn't had that talent for daily intelligence, hadn't gotten resources in advance, and hadn't stumbled his way up to level three... he'd probably be just like everyone else in the channel, still worrying about a bottle of mineral water.

Su Mu shook his head, suppressing these thoughts for the time being.

Just then, a cold, mechanical voice suddenly rang in my ears...

[Announcement for Area 886 (Cable Number)]

[A survivor in this area has been detected to have completed a job change, achieving the "Pioneer" achievement.]

[Regional Functionality Update:]

[I. Increased Chest Drop Rate. The drop rate of bronze and higher quality chests has been slightly increased. This will last for three days.]

II. Monster Drop Adjustments. The drop rate of job change scrolls from monsters has been slightly increased for 7 days.

The announcement echoed throughout the entire cableway.

Su Mu was taken aback.

This is the announcement?

He glanced at his class profile... Gunner (purple). Apparently, the first person to change classes also gets an achievement reward.

However, the announcement stated that "survivors in this area have completed career changes," without naming names.

That's a good thing. He didn't want everyone to know he was the first person to switch jobs.

Su Mu opened the chat channel to see everyone's reaction.

Sure enough, the news has already caused a sensation.

"Job change? What's that?"

"I haven't even reached level one, and they're already level three?! And they've even changed jobs?!"

"A pioneer achievement! Hey big shot, come out and show your face!"

"The treasure chest drop rate has increased! That's great!"

The news spread like wildfire. Some were shocked, some were envious, some discussed the new feature, and others tried to find out who the "pioneer" was.

Some guessed it was Zhou Zhenguo because of his strong organizational skills and the number of monsters he killed. Others guessed it was the captain of the five-person talent team because they were the most efficient. Still others guessed it was some veteran player who had been lurking in the shadows, quietly developing his strength from day one.

"Su Mu sold a professional skill book in the channel before, it was blue, called Battlefield Medic. Could he be that buyer?"

"Possibly! After all, this is the only professional book I've seen."

"The healer class can be the first to advance to the next job? That's impossible, healers don't have any combat ability."

"What if they're a powerful healer?"

"A combat healer is still a healer, right? Can they be the first to kill a monster and level up to level three?"

Su Mu's lips twitched as he read the discussion.

He has already traded the book on battlefield medics to Lin Yuwei. If Lin Yuwei uses that book to change her class, then she will be the second person to do so, not the first.

But he didn't explain. Let them guess.

As I was looking, inquiries started popping up one after another.

Su Mu glanced at it but ignored it.

There's no need to answer that.

He was about to turn off the channel when another message popped up...

Sender: Zhao Hongyuan.

Su Mu recognized the name.

The five-person talent team we discussed in the channel before is led by Zhao Hongyuan. It's said that all members possess combat-related talents and have excellent teamwork; yesterday they were able to independently handle two or three zombies.

Three people have advanced to level two today, and they're really making waves.

[Zhao Hongyuan: Who did you sell your book on battlefield medics to?]

There were no titles, no polite words, not even a simple "excuse me." It was as if they were asking a question that should obviously be answered.

Su Mu raised an eyebrow but did not reply.

A few seconds later, another message popped up:

[Zhao Hongyuan: I'm asking you a question.]

Su Mu stared at the line of text for two seconds, then paused his finger on the screen.

Then he clicked on Zhao Hongyuan's profile picture and chose to block him.

Clean and efficient.

First, the professional book was given to Lin Yuwei, which constituted a transaction between the two. Regardless of the other party's purpose, he had no obligation to disclose the buyer's information... This is the most basic professional ethic.

Secondly, if the other party's tone is normal, even if they only add a "May I ask?", he might carefully consider his wording and politely decline. After all, it's always better to be on good terms with someone who can organize talented individuals than to be on bad terms with them.

But this condescending attitude...

Su Mu shook his head. He was too lazy to argue, and too lazy to teach the other person a lesson. Blocking him was the easiest way to handle it...out of sight, out of mind.
